What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 2 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to implement their policy and procedure and honor the resident's documented advance directives, including Do Not Resuscitate status for 1 (Resident #1) of 3 residents reviewed. On [DATE] at approximately 11:40 a.m., Resident #1 was found without a pulse or respiration. Staff did not verify Resident #1's advance directives for code status and administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) against the resident's documented wishes to withhold CPR in the event of cardiac or respiratory arrest. Applying the reasonable person concept, the failure to honor the resident's wishes for a natural, dignified death created a likelihood for serious psychosocial harm. This failure placed other residents with established advance directives at a likelihood to be resuscitated against their wishes and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) at a scope and severity of isolated (J) starting on [DATE]. On [DATE] at 4:49 p.m., the Administrator was notified of the determination of Immediate Jeopardy and provided the IJ templates. The findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be corrected on [DATE]. The findings included: The facility's policy titled, Advanced Directives Code Status issued 1/2024 noted, It is the policy of the facility to honor Advanced Directives, Code status and Do Not Resuscitate Orders in accordance with state and federal regulations . Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) - A DNR code status would indicate that the person would not want CPR performed and would be allowed to die naturally if their heart stops beating and/or they stop breathing . Review of the clinical record for Resident #1 revealed an admission date of [DATE]. The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with a target date of [DATE]. The MDS noted the resident's cognition was intact with a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 15. On [DATE] the Social Worker documented in a progress note Resident #1 was [AGE] years old and said she did not think she would be, better off dead but would accept her time when it comes. The clinical record contained a yellow State of Florida Do Not Resuscitate Order form signed and (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few dated by Resident #1 on [DATE] and signed by the physician on [DATE] directing that CPR be withheld or withdrawn. On [DATE] at 5:16 p.m., Registered Nurse (RN) Staff A documented in a progress note upon rounds at 11:40 a.m., Resident #1 was identified unresponsive, without pulse, no spontaneous respirations noted. Code blue called. The nurse went to retrieve the crash cart. CPR initiated. Emergency Medical Services were called. The resident was then noted to be a DNR and CPR was terminated. Resident #1 did not regain pulse or respirations. Review of the facility's investigation showed that on [DATE] at approximately 11:40 a.m., Resident #1 was found without pulse or respiration. RN Staff A did not verify Resident #1's advance directives for code status and administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) against the resident's documented wishes to withhold CPR in the event of cardiac or respiratory arrest. After approximately four minutes of CPR being administered, the Director of Nursing (DON) realized Resident #1 was DNR and permission was received from Resident #1's daughter to cease CPR. Resident #1 expired. During an interview on [DATE] at 11:47 a.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff B said she was upstairs and heard the code blue. When she got to the resident's room, the first thing she did was to ask if the resident was a full code or DNRO. She said she was told she was a full code. When she walked in the room she saw CPR being performed. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff C was doing the compressions. The Weekend Supervisor was next to him and they were rotating. They had Staff B do the ambu bag (medical tool to force air into lungs) and give her the two breaths. Somebody came in and said to stop doing CPR as the resident was a DNR. During an interview on [DATE] at 1:13 p.m., LPN Staff D said she heard the code blue. She was downstairs and came up. She went to grab the crash cart, but it was gone. She went to the resident's room. The weekend supervisor was doing CPR. The CNAs were standing in the room and trying to assemble the ambu bag. After that, one CNA took over the CPR compressions, and the other nurse. LPN Staff B grabbed the ambu bag. The Weekend Supervisor left the room to make calls. CPR was still going and someone in hall said the resident was a DNR. Everything stopped. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) stopped coming off the elevator when they heard she was DNR and left back down elevator. The resident's daughter eventually came. During an interview on [DATE] at 1:58 p.m., CNA staff C said he heard the code blue. The Weekend Supervisor said the resident was a full code, then she did CPR. When she stopped she asked CNA Staff C to take over. He said he had CPR training and he took over the compressions. CNA Staff C said it was the first time he was doing CPR on anyone. He said the crash cart was there. He said he did not know how long CPR lasted but between two to five minutes. Then he heard someone say to stop doing CPR she's passed away. The Weekend Supervisor said to stop. Afterward, he heard the weekend supervisor spoke to the family. The DON asked him (Staff C) for his CPR certification and made a copy of it. He said when he checked the facility's electronic medical record, it showed the resident was a DNR. On [DATE] at 2:08 p.m., in an interview the DON said facility policy is to follow the Residents' Advanced Directive wishes. The DON explained the proper process if found unresponsive would be to go to the hall and yell code blue for assistance. At that time, all staff respond and check Electronic Health Record to confirm code status so they know what to do next. If a person is identified as DNR they do not start compressions. If the Resident was not DNR status they would start compressions. The DON confirmed RN Staff A did not follow facility's policy by failing to verify Resident #1's (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 106089 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 10 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 106089 B.
