[DATE] 3:34 PM daughter requested for information to be sent to two other nursing homes for LTC. Paper
work was faxed as requested. SS will continue to follow up with family as needed.
Residents Affected - Few
[DATE] 3:05 PM SS worker faxed paper work to two additional nursing homes. Family not able to meet his
needs at home. SS will continue to follow up with facilities and family as needed.
[DATE] 9:06 AM Another nursing home called the facility. They can accept the resident today. They will set
up transport and call SS worker back with a time. Family aware and pleased he will be able to stay at the
new facility for long term care. Family was given the address and phone number. 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. The
daughter was irate and was in here yelling at social services. I

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 .

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 observing Resident #216's IV site
for any signs of infection and addressed that Resident #216 did not have a transparent dressing over the IV
site. 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.

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews, record reviews, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure pre and post dialysis
assessments were completed for one (Resident #77) of three residents receiving dialysis services in the
facility.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
A review of the facility policy titled Dialysis, revised in April 2021, revealed under the section titled Purpose
that residents receiving hemodialysis would receive appropriate monitoring and care from the facility and
the dialysis provider in order to coordinate care. The policy also revealed, under the section titled pre and
post dialysis that a pre-dialysis assessment would be completed before dialysis and a post dialysis form
would be completed after dialysis and compared to the pre-assessment.
A review of Resident #77's Medical Record revealed that Resident #77 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and dependence on renal dialysis.
A review of Resident #77's Physician's Orders revealed an order, dated 02/02/2022, for Pre and Post
dialysis notes due Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for dialysis.
A review of Resident #77's Pre and Post dialysis notes from 12/31/2021 to 01/31/2022 revealed the
following documentation:
- No pre or post dialysis assessment was documented on 12/31/2021, 01/03/2022, 01/05/2022,
01/07/2022, 01/10/2022, 01/12/2022, 01/14/2022. 01/17/2022, 01/19/2022, or 01/24/2022.
- 01/31/2022: Post dialysis assessment was completed. No pre dialysis assessment was documented.
An interview was conducted on 02/02/2022 at 04:39 PM with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON). The
DON stated that the facility policy was to use the Dialysis Communication Form to communicate to the
resident's dialysis center, but the facility was not using the form. Nursing staff were documenting the pre
and post dialysis assessments in the electronic medical record before and after each dialysis appointment.
The DON stated that the facility should be using the Dialysis Communication Form and that a dialysis
communication log for Resident #77 was not able to be found.
A follow up interview was conducted on 02/03/2022 at 08:35 AM with the DON. The DON stated that the
dialysis communication book for Resident #77 was still not able to be found and stated that she would
create a new one so that communication with the dialysis center could be shared. The DON also stated that
the facility was sending the pre dialysis assessment with Resident #77 to dialysis appointments, but there
was not a way for the dialysis center to send communication back to the facility on the form. The DON
stated that facility staff should be sending the residents face sheet, medication record, and communication
form to each dialysis appointment.
An interview was conducted on 02/03/2022 at 11:37 AM with Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Staff
A, LPN stated that she had received Resident #77 from his dialysis appointments on a few occasions and
that they would normally complete the post dialysis assessment in the electronic medical record following
the appointment. Staff A, LPN also stated that residents would normally have a book

recommendation was accepted by the physician; however, a 2nd Pharmacy Consultation Report dated
01/10/2022 stated Resident #98's prescriber accepted a pharmacy recommendation to initiate Lisinopril,
but the order has not yet been processed (see signed pharmacy recommendation from 11/15/21 in
