Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through
support of resident choice.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
resident and staff interview and record review, the facility failed to honor personal choices for 1 (Resident
#73) of 3 residents reviewed for personal choices. The facility's failure to promote and facilitate the resident
choices could cause psychosocial and mental harm to the resident.
The findings included:
On 1/4/21 at 12:27 p.m., in an interview Resident #73 said because she needed a Hoyer lift for transfers
and needed assistance in taking a shower, she had not received a shower in several weeks. She said the
staff will give her a bed bath 2 times a week but she would prefer a shower so she could get her hair
washed. She said she had asked the nursing staff multiple times, but they would only give her a bed bath.
She didn't know why she couldn't get a shower so she could get her hair washed.
On 1/6/21 a review of Resident #73's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Resident #73's plan of care for activity of daily living (ADL) created on 11/6/19 and last revised on 7/10/20
stated Resident #73 usually preferred a shower, however some days she may choose to have a bed bath
instead.
On 1/6/21 at 5:14 p.m., in an interview the Unit Manager (UM) said residents were scheduled for a shower
or bed bath weekly. If the resident refused their shower or bed bath the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs)
were required to report it to the nurse, who then would talk to the resident and determine why they refused
their shower or bed bath. She then said the CNA and the nurse would document the resident refused their
shower or bed bath in the resident's medical record.
The UM reviewed Resident #73's medical record and said as per Resident #73's request she was to
receive 2 showers a week on Monday and Thursday on the day shift. She confirmed the ADL plan of care
for Resident #73 notes she preferred a shower. Review of the shower section in the CNA documentation
revealed documentation Resident #73's last shower was 12/10/20.
On 1/6/21 at 5:30 p.m., in an interview the Clinical Educator said the facility's policy and procedure was if a
resident refused their shower or bed bath the staff was to determine why the resident was refusing their
shower or bed bath and document the refusal in the resident's medical record. The documentation was
used to assist in determining who to address the problem, for tracking and trending, and to determine how
best to meet the resident's needs. After reviewing Resident #73's medical record the Clinical Educator said
she was unable to find documentation Resident #73 was refusing her showers.

On 1/7/21 at 11:08 a.m., in an interview the UM said she reviewed Resident #73's record and determined
the last documented time Resident #73 had a shower was 12/7/20. She said Resident #73 had not received
her scheduled showers from 12/10/20 to 1/5/21. She said she interviewed the nursing staff who confirmed
Resident #73 had not received her shower during the time period noted and the staff were unable to give a
reason why Resident #73 did not receive her shower. She said there was no documentation Resident #73
had refused her showers between 12/10/20 through 1/5/21 and she should have had her showers as
requested.

Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman,
before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and staff interview, the facility failed to notify the state's Long-Term Care Ombudsman
Council (LTCOC) of facility-initiated transfers and discharges since October 2020. The local Ombudsman
office was not notified of 3 (Residents #20, #36 and #70) of 3 sampled facility-initiated transfer/discharged
of a total of 17 facility initiated transfers to the hospital from [DATE] through 1/6/21. The failure to send
notices of facility-initiated transfers and discharges to the LTCOC potentially prevents inappropriately
discharged resident's access to an advocate to inform them of their options and rights.
The findings included:
On 1/4/21 at 10:00 a.m., in an interview, the local LTCOC's office stated they had not received the required
documentation from the facility related to all facility-initiated transfers and discharges as required. They
stated they had not received any notices since October 2019.
On 1/6/21, a review of the facility's discharge log from 9/1/20 through 1/6/21 revealed a total of 70 transfers
and discharges from the facility which consisted of 17 to an acute care hospital.
Sampling of facility-initiated transfers to the hospital from [DATE] through 1/2/21 found:
September 2020, Resident #20 was transferred to an acute care hospital on 9/1/20.
October 2020, Resident #36 was transferred to an acute care hospital on [DATE].
November 2020, Resident #70 was transferred to an acute care hospital on [DATE].
On 1/7/21 at 9:12 a.m., in an interview, the Social Service Director (SSD) said she was not the person who
contacted the LTCOC when facility-initiated transfers and discharges from the facility occurred. She also
said she didn't know who was responsible to contact the LTCOC when a resident was transferred or
discharged from the facility.
On 1/7/21 at 10:05 a.m., in an interview, the Regional Nurse and the Director of Nursing (DON) said they
did not know who was responsible to notify the LTCOC office of facility-initiated transfers and discharges of
residents.
The DON said the discharging nurse was responsible to complete a Nursing Home Transfer and Discharge
Notice form. This form had an area for the nurse to indicate the date the Resident, Legal Guardian or
Representative, and the Local LTCOC office were notified of the facility-initiated transfers and discharge.
The DON said she was unable to find documentation the LTCOC office was notified from 10/1/20 to 1/6/21
as required of facility-initiated transfers and discharges.
On 1/7/21 at 12:00 p.m., in an interview, the DON said the facility did not have a written policy and/or
procedure stating who was responsible to ensure the LTCOC's office was informed in a timely manner of a
facility-initiated transfers and discharges. She confirmed the LTCOC was not notified of the facility-initiated
transfer and discharge for Residents #20, #36 and #70 as required.

Assist a resident in gaining access to vision and hearing services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
resident and staff interviews and record review the facility failed to ensure 2 (Residents #9 and #65) of 3
residents reviewed for vision impairment received proper treatment and assistive devices to maintain their
vision at optimal condition.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
1. On 1/4/21 at 2:13 p.m., in an interview Resident #65 said the eye doctor (ophthalmologist) told her the
reason she was losing her vision, and everything was getting blurry was because she needed cataract
surgery. She said he told her in August 2020 because her vision was blurry to tell the nurse when she was
ready for the cataract surgery and the facility would arrange for her to have the surgery to correct her
vision. She said she had told the head nurse and other people several times she was ready for the cataract
surgery, but no one had gotten back to her. She said her vision was very blurry and she was unable to read
or watch TV as she would like.
On 1/6/21 a review of Resident #65's medical record, noted she was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
On 10/28/19 an ophthalmologist 's progress note contained documentation he discussed with Resident #65
cataracts caused a painless and progressive loss of vision. The appropriate time to perform cataract
surgery was when the loss of vision was interfering with her daily activities and a change of glasses would
not help. He instructed Resident #65 to contact the nurse if she noticed any decrease in vision so they
could schedule her to be seen by the ophthalmologist to remove the cataracts.
Resident #65's plan of care for impaired visual function showed one of the goals was for the resident to
have no indication of acute eye problems and she would maintain optimal quality of life. The interventions
noted the facility would monitor for any signs and symptoms for acute eye problem to include blurred or
hazy vision.
On 1/6/21 at 12:50 p.m., during an interview the Unit Manager (UM) said she didn't remember Resident
#65 telling her she needed to be seen by the ophthalmologist because her vision was getting blurry and
she needed cataract surgery. She said the Social Service Director (SSD) was the person who kept track of
all the eye physician visits, did the end of the day visit exit with the eye physician, collected his progress
notes and informed nursing if he had any recommendation for the residents he examined that day. She said
the SSD did not inform nursing the ophthalmologist had told Resident #65 if her vision was worsened, she
would need cataract surgery to correct her blurry vision.
On 1/6/21 at 1:41 p.m., the Social Service Director (SSD) said she had been working at the facility for 5
years. She said she didn't keep a formal and complete list of which residents saw the ophthalmologist on
his visits. She also said she did not do the exit with the ophthalmologist when he had seen all the residents
in the facility, and she thought the nursing department followed up with the ophthalmologist for any
recommendation he had for the residents.
She said the UM had just called her about the ophthalmologist recommendation for cataract surgery for
Resident #65 and new glasses for Resident #9. She then called the ophthalmologist who told her he was
not in his office but would fax her his progress notes for Resident #9 and #65.

After reviewing Resident #65's medical record, the SSD confirmed the ophthalmologist had written on
10/28/19 stating due to the resident's vision getting worse she would need corrective cataract surgery. She
said she was unaware the ophthalmologist had recommended Resident #65 needed cataract surgery to
correct her blurry vision. She confirmed there was no documentation in the medical record the facility was
monitoring Resident #65's vision as required in Resident #65's plan of care for impaired visual function.
Residents Affected - Few
The SSD said the ophthalmologist office faxed her Resident #65's progress notes. She said the progress
notes state the ophthalmologist visited Resident #65 at the facility on 8/28/20 and stated Resident #65
should inform the nurse if she was noticing a decrease in vision so they can schedule for cataract surgery.
She said she was unaware the ophthalmologist had seen Resident #65 on 8/28/20 and was unaware he
had recommended cataract surgery to correct progressive vision loss.
2. On 1/4/21 at 2:00 p.m., in an interview Resident #9 she said the ophthalmologist came to the facility
several weeks ago and said she needed a new pair of glasses due to her poor vision. She said she had
asked the nursing staff several times if her new glasses had come in but they told her they had not arrived
at the facility. She said she needed the new glasses since her vision was so poor. The resident said she
was unable to watch TV because everything was blurry.
On 1/6/20 review of Resident #9's medical record revealed no documentation Resident #9 was seen by the
ophthalmologist in 2020 and he had ordered a new set of glasses to correct Resident #9's blurry vision.
Resident #9's plan of care for impaired visual function stated Resident #9 required eyeglasses to maintain
adequate vision, the plan of care was created 5/4/18 and last revised on 1/3/20.
On 1/6/21 at 12:45 p.m., in an interview the UM confirmed Resident #9 wears glasses to correct her vision.
She said she knew the ophthalmologist had been to the facility several times but didn't know if he had
examined Resident #9 or ordered her a new set of glasses. She said the SSD kept track of the
ophthalmologist visits and if Resident #9 had new glasses the SSD would receive them to pass out to the
residents. She said the SSD did not inform her Resident #9 would be getting a new pair of glasses.
On 1/6/21 at 1:25 p.m., in an interview after SSD reviewed Resident #9's medical record, she confirmed
Resident #9's plan of care for impaired visual function stated Resident #9 required eyeglasses to maintain
adequate vision. The plan of care was created on 5/4/18 and last revised on 1/3/20. She said after
reviewing all her documentation and notes she did not have documentation if, when, and how many times
the ophthalmologist visited the facility and who he saw during those visits for 2020. After a phone
conversation with the ophthalmologist, the SSD stated, he (the ophthalmologist) was going to fax over his
progress notes for Resident #9 for 2020. She said she would investigate if the ophthalmologist had ordered
new glasses for Resident #9 and determine when they would be delivered to the facility.
On 1/6/21 at 5:15 p.m., in an interview the Executive Director (ED) said normally the SSD oversaw the
tracking of all visits from the ancillary physician service visits. She should also make sure the residents
received the services ordered by the physicians had been completed in a timely manner.
On 1/7/21 at 9:02 a.m., during an interview the SSD said on 1/6/21 the ophthalmologist faxed an
ophthalmologist progress note dated 10/26/20 for Resident #9. She said upon review of the progress

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
Based on observation, record review, and staff and resident interview, the facility failed to demonstrate
effective coordination and follow physician orders and care plan interventions for the application of knee
braces for 1 (Resident #7) of 2 residents reviewed with contractures (a tightening of muscles, tendons and
ligaments that prevent joint movement). This had the potential to cause pain and worsening of the
contracture.
The findings included:
On 1/4/21 at 12:11 p.m., during an initial observation and interview, Resident #7 was in her bed with her
knees flexed and drawn up toward her abdomen. The resident had her left hand in a closed, tight fist. She
said she was not able to open the hand. Resident # 7 did not have a splint or positioning device for her left
hand. Resident #7 said she was not able to extend or bend her legs at the knee. The resident said she did
not have any splints for her knees.
On 1/4/21 a review of Resident #7's clinical record showed a care plan identifying Resident #7 had
self-care deficit related to limited mobility and limited range of motion (ROM). The interventions included to
apply knee braces to bilateral knees to address contractures.
The clinical record documented a physician order dated 1/31/20 to apply knee brace for 2 hours, promoting
knee extension to bilateral knees to address contractures.
On 1/6/21 at 9:08 a.m., in an interview Resident # 7 said she was not able to stretch out her legs, saying
pain was a 10 on a scale of 1-10. Resident #7 said she asks for pain medication and it makes the pain
better. The resident said the staff did provide ROM but no splints or braces for her knees. Resident #7 was
able to open her left hand.
On 1/6/21 at 10:12 a.m., in an interview the Rehab Director (RD) said Resident #7 received therapy from
7/9/19 through 7/31/19 for contractures and positioning. The RD said the resident was evaluated again on
12/24/19 and received therapy until 1/31/20. The RD said Resident #7 often declined services.
On 1/6/21 at 10:22 a.m., in an interview the Occupational Therapist (OT) said Resident #7 received knee
braces and a splint for her left hand over a year ago but declined to allow them to be applied. The OT said
the resident had not had the splints applied for a long time. The OT said if the staff had a concern with a
resident, they would complete a request for a therapy evaluation. The OT confirmed Resident #7 was not
currently receiving therapy because she refused and confirmed they did not receive a referral for another
evaluation.
On 1/6/21 at 11:13 a.m., a review of the treatment administration record (TAR) for December 2020 showed
Apply knee brace for 2 hours promoting knee extension to bilateral knees to address contractures. The TAR
had an X entered each day making it impossible to determine if the nurse applied the brace to the
resident's knees as ordered.
On 1/6/21 at 11:19 a.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the nurses were not signing
the TAR for the application of the knee braces. She said the application of the brace was on the record for
information only and did not require the nurses to place their initials.

On 1/6/21 at 11:25 a.m., in an interview the Unit Manager (UM) said if a resident had an order for a splint or
a brace they would sign the TAR. If the resident refused to allow the application of the brace, the nurse
would enter R or refused and document. The UM said Resident #7 did not have a physician's order for the
leg braces. After reviewing Resident #7 clinical record the UM verified a physician's order dated 1/31/20 for
Resident #7 to have knee braces applied daily for two hours.
Residents Affected - Few
The UM said the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) was applying the knee brace from 1/2020 through
7/31/20 but the Restorative Program was discontinued due to resident refusal. The UM said if a resident
refused the nurse would document the resident refusal in the clinical record.
On 1/6/20 at 11:35 a.m., the UM said she would demonstrate the application of the braces to Resident #7
knees. Upon entering and searching the resident's room the UM was not able to locate the braces. The UM
said there were here yesterday, I saw them. I will ask the Certified Nursing Assistant where she put them.
On 1/6/21 at 11:45 a.m., in an interview the UM said she spoke with the Rehab Director and was informed
the leg braces for Resident #7 were removed and taken back to therapy last year because the resident
refused them. The UM confirmed there was no documentation Resident #7 refused the knee braces once
the Restorative Program was discontinued. The UM confirmed there was a physician order for the
application of the knee braces for Resident #7 and the braces were not being applied.
On 1/6/21 at 12:23 p.m., the Regional Registered Nurse (RRN) said the facility had no policy for the
application or use of splints and braces. The RRN said there was no policy for following physicians orders it
is just expected practice.

Ensure therapeutic diets are prescribed by the attending physician and may be delegated to a registered or
licensed dietitian, to the extent allowed by State law.
Based on record review, review of policy, menu and physician's orders, observation and interview the facility
failed to provide the physician ordered diet for 2 (Residents #44 and #388) of 3 sampled residents with
prescribed renal diets. The failure to follow the prescribed physician's diet order could negatively affect the
residents' nutritional status.
The findings included:
Review of the contracted food service company's Policy on Therapeutic Diets, dated October 2019, noted
Statement: It is the Center policy to insure that all residents have a diet order, including regular, therapeutic,
and textured modified, prescribed by the attending physician, physician extender, or credentialed
practitioner in accordance with applicable regulatory guidelines. 'Therapeutic diet' is defined as a diet
ordered by a physician or delegated registered or licensed dietitian as part of the treatment for a disease or
clinical condition, to eliminate or decrease specific nutrients in the diet (e.g. sodium) or to increase specific
nutrients in the diet (e.g. potassium) or to provide food that a resident is able to eat (e.g. mechanically
