Resident assisted with packing his belongings. Review of the Census tab in the electronic medical record showed Resident #420 was originally admitted to a private room on [DATE]. On [DATE] he was moved to a semi-private room where he remained until he was discharged on [DATE]. Both of these rooms were certified for Medicare only. On [DATE] at 10:19 AM, the Director of Therapy said Resident #420 was evaluated on [DATE] by PT (physical therapy) and ST (speech therapy), and on [DATE] by OT (occupational therapy). He was discharged from therapy services on [DATE] after being on caseload for a couple weeks. He was wheelchair bound prior to therapy and had a poor prognosis. He was receiving help at home for self care before he was admitted . He was discharged form therapy [DATE] due to very low motivation. They would get him up in the chair and within ten minutes he was asking to go back to bed. With the low motivation, there wasn't really anything that could be done. Therapy recommended long term care. On [DATE] at 12:26 PM, the Social Services (SS) Assistant stated the resident was being discharged today to another nursing home in Lake [NAME]. He needed a long term care bed, and they accepted him. She reported that this facility did not have a long term bed available and once he was cut from therapy, he needed a long term care bed for Medicaid. She reported that the resident was currently in a skilled bed. A review of the daily census dated [DATE] provided by the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), reflected there were 132 in the facility, 61 of the beds were certified for Medicare only and 71 were dually certified for Medicare and Medicaid. The [DATE] daily census indicating there were nine unoccupied beds, and five of these empty beds were dually certified. On [DATE] at 1:41 PM, the NHA said the empty beds on the Medicare/Medicaid halls were bed holds. He continued on to state that one resident expired that day and another one went to the hospital. A request was made for evidence of these bed holds. On [DATE] at 2:03 PM, a follow up interview with the NHA revealed he did not have evidence of the bed holds to provide to the surveyor. The NHA reported when someone was admitted , the facility lets them know based on the living will and therapy assessment, if we determine they need long term care. At that time, we look to see if we have a bed for long term care. This resident went to the hospital (on [DATE]) and another nursing home was supposed to take him but didn't have a bed at the time. We said we would take him while he was waiting for the long term bed. We had a bed but it was only female. [Hospital Name] called and asked about discharging him if I know he needs long term care. I told her we didn't discharge him. He had a discharge date . From there I let her know we would help depending on when he comes back.

F 0622 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few explained to her we were not discharging him. We would make sure he had a place to go. She said we knew we didn't have a bed and didn't tell her that from the beginning. On [DATE] at 2:26 PM, another interview was conducted with the SS assistant. She said, they didn't want him to go to [NAME] City. He got accepted in Lake [NAME]. We have been making referrals since last week. They were happy and the daughter thanked me. We didn't have a long term care bed. That is a skilled private pay bed. He is on Medicaid. He can't afford it. It's three hundred something a day. On [DATE] at 8:35 AM, an interview was conducted with the Business Office Manager (BOM) and Business Office Assistant (BOA). The BOM said the NHA would be responsible to issue a thirty day notice. The BOA said the business office would provide billing statements. It's a combination of the business office, social services, and administration. It's a combination of all of us. If it's a Medicaid patient they have to have a Medicaid certified bed. At 8:48 AM on [DATE], an interview was conducted with the Admissions Director. She said the nurse liaison goes to the hospital and does an assessment on the patients prior to admission. He does a nurse to nurse over the phone if he can't see them in person. Then we coordinate with the case manager. We don't take residents with tracheotomies, medication administration of daptomycin, or oxygen administration over five liters. We typically only try to bring residents in if they have rehab potential, unless there is a plan that we are aware of. Typically we try to bring them in for rehab. Occasionally the hospital will call and ask if we have a bed. We just make sure they are good with the business office, have a Medicaid application, don't have any behaviors, and talk to the family to make sure they are going to settle in good. We make sure we are all on the same page and get some medical records form their physician. They can stay if we have the availability. Social services works with the family to find alternate placement for them if we don't have availability. All our beds aren't dually certified so we need to have an open bed on the long term care halls. We can clearly see if a bed is open every morning. We do about thirty admissions a week, depending on the week. On [DATE] at 8:57 AM, another interview was conducted with the NHA. He said, We have to notify families if there is an internal transfer, a bed hold policy if they are sent out. Notify the family of the transfer and bed hold policy. We wouldn't provide a thirty day notice and we would hold on to them and help them find placement. Usually we find safe placement for them. We evaluate them and give them a planned discharge date . You get priority if you're in the building already. They are priority. But if we don't have a bed we try to help with placement in another facility. We would issue a thirty day notice if we couldn't care for you or meet your needs. When they send them to the hospital, they should have them sign the bed hold policy. We have never not had anyone come back. We have never issued a thirty day notice. They have not been issued a transfer form. We have identified it. There's clearly a communication issue. The NHA stated, The two males (beds) we had were on our Covid unit and the two that passed away were women. The NHA did not know if they had a bed available on [DATE], the day Resident #420 was discharged .

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations and interviews, the facility failed to provide ongoing assessment of an intravenous (IV) catheter site for one (Resident #216) of six residents in the facility receiving IV therapy. Residents Affected - Few Findings included: A review of Resident #216's Medical Record revealed that Resident #216 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and dehydration.

A review of Resident #216's Progress Notes, dated 01/29/2022 at 03:26 PM, revealed that Resident #216 had a midline IV catheter inserted to the left upper arm. An observation was conducted on 02/02/2022 at 11:35 AM of Resident #216's midline IV site. Resident #216's left upper arm IV site was observed to be covered by a large gauze pad and wrapped in a self adherent wrap. Resident #216's midline IV site was not able to be fully visualized. An observation was conducted on 02/03/2022 at 09:54 AM during medication administration with Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Staff B, LPN was observed visualizing the skin around Resident #216's midline IV site, which was covered by a large gauze pad and wrapped in a self adherent wrap. Resident #216's midline IV site did not have a transparent dressing as ordered. An interview was conducted with Staff B, LPN following the observation.

Staff B, LPN stated that he was not allowed to touch the self adherent dressing to the IV site because only a Registered Nurse (RN) was able to apply a transparent dressing to the IV site. Staff B, LPN also stated that he was not able to visualize the actual IV connection and that Resident #216 should have a translucent dressing over the site, but he performs the assessment the best he can. An interview was conducted on 02/04/2022 at 09:56 AM with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated that nursing staff should be assessing IV sites for any redness, warmth, drainage, or any other signs and symptoms of infection. Nursing staff should also assess the IV site to ensure that the transparent dressing does not need changed. The DON stated that a resident with an IV site would need to have a transparent dressing so that the IV site could be properly visualized and assessed. The DON also stated that she would expect the nursing staff to notify her right away if a resident did not have a dressing to their IV site.
