(ii) This includes a written description of the facility's policies to implement advance directives and applicable State law. (iii) Facilities are permitted to contract with other entities to furnish this information but are still legally responsible for ensuring that the requirements of this section are met. (iv) If an adult individual is incapacitated at the time of admission and is unable to receive information or articulate whether or not he or she has executed an advance directive, the facility may give advance directive information to the individual's resident representative in accordance with State Law. (v) The facility is not relieved of its obligation to provide this information to the individual once he or she is able to receive such information. Follow-up procedures must be in place to provide the information to the individual directly at the appropriate time. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide 44 of 44 residents written information about advance directives (advance directives are documents in which residents state how they should be cared for in case they lose capacity to make decisions for themselves). This failure had the potential to prevent residents from creating advance directives.

The water temperature in the shower rooms did not remain at the desired temperature, which resulted in discomfort for Residents 14, 17, 33 and 37 during showers; 2. The door to Resident 22's room was kept constantly open, which resulted in discomfort for Resident 22 and infringed on his privacy; and 3. The water faucet in Resident 37's bathroom sink was leaking which upset Resident 37. These failures prevented Residents 14, 17, 22, 33 and 37 from having a comfortable and homelike environment. Findings: 1. During a resident group interview on 7/17/18, starting at 10 a.m., Residents 14, 17, 33 and 37 stated the water temperature in the shower rooms did not remain at the temperature desired during showers. The Residents stated once they got under the shower, the water temperature started to go up and down without any adjustment inputs from residents or staff. The Residents stated the water temperature variation created an uncomfortable shower experience for them. Resident 14 stated she had been a resident at the facility for 7 years and this was a recurrent problem that the facility seemed to be always working on.

During a concurrent observation of Shower Room #2, the DM opened the shower faucet and set the water temperature to the hottest setting. The DM measured the water temperature and the thermometer recorded 106°F (Fahrenheit). Without further inputs from the DM, the water temperature dropped to 96°F and then rose to 106°F. The shower water temperature continued to spontaneously fluctuate between 96°F and 106°F. During an observation of the Shower Room #1 with the DM on 7/17/18, at 11:45 a.m., the DM opened the shower faucet and set the water temperature to the hottest setting. The DM measured the water temperature and the thermometer recorded 108°F. The DM then turned the water faucet to a colder setting. The DM stated: "You can hear the cold water mixing in". The DM then measured the water temperature and it was 99°F. Without further inputs from the DM, the water temperature rose to 106°F and then dropped to 93°F. When asked the reason for the variation in water temperature in the shower rooms the DM stated the boiler pump needed replacement.

A sign next to Resident 22's room door indicated "Please leave door open". During a concurrent interview, Resident 22 stated he would like to have the door closed but staff kept the door open. He stated the noise from the hallway bothered him and affected his sleep, resulting in discomfort. He stated he had no privacy because the door was kept constantly open. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 7/19/18, at 2:20 p.m., the DON stated Resident 22's room door was kept open for better air circulation in the room (because the room tended to get hot) and for the safety of Resident 22, because Resident 22 was at risk for falls. The DON stated if Resident 22 fell, there would be no way for staff to know if the door was closed, but with the door open, staff walking by the hallway would see if he had fallen. The DON stated Resident 22's door was kept open day and night. Facility policy titled "Quality of Life - Dignity", dated 2001, indicated: "Each resident shall be cared for in a manner that promotes and enhances quality of life, dignity, respect and individuality." "Resident's private space and property shall be respected at all times." 3.

The SSD searched the record but did not provide any evidence Resident 43 initiated the discharge. A review of Resident 43 clinical record indicated the facility issued a "Notice of Proposed Transfer/Discharge" (The Notice of Discharge) to Resident 43 on 4/25/18. The Notice indicated: "You have been notified of the decision to transfer or discharge. If it is your decision to appeal the proposed transfer or discharge, please be aware that you have the following rights regarding your appeal hearing..." During an interview with the Social Services Director (SSD) on 7/20/18, at 10:35 a.m., the SSD was asked if the facility provided a copy of Resident 43's Notice of Discharge to the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman (The Ombudsman is an advocate for the elderly). The SSD searched Resident 43's record but found no indication the facility sent a copy of Resident 43's Notice of Discharge to the Ombudsman. During an interview on 7/19/18, at noon, the Ombudsman stated the facility had not been informing her office of resident discharges, which was preventing her from advocating for discharged residents.

A Stage 3 pressure ulcer (also known as pressure sore, pressure injury, and bedsore; localized damage to the skin and/or underlying tissue as a result of pressure or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction) includes full thickness skin loss where subcutaneous fat may be visible. A DTI injury is injury to tissue below the skin's surface caused by excessive pressure to an area. These failures contributed to a potential delay in treatment for Resident 40's pressure injury and Resident 12's deep tissue injury. Pressure injuries can cause pain, lead to infection, and increase risk of death (Institute for Health Improvement, 2007). Failure to aggressively treat pressure wounds may result in increased pain and potential infections.

Medical record review of a nurse skin assessment for Resident 40, dated 4/25/18, indicated Resident 40 had "shearing"on her sacrum that measured 0.8 centimeters (cm) by 1.2 cm , by 0.1 cm (deep). (The sacrum is the area located at the lower spine, just above the buttocks). Shear occurs when two surfaces move in the opposite direction (sliding down in bed when the head is elevated). Shear, which can damage the underlying tissue like fat and muscle, is one of the primary contributing factors for pressure ulcers (Mayo Clinic; https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseasesconditions/bed-sores/symptomscauses/syc-20355893). Medical record review of a nurses note for Resident 40, dated 5/31/18, indicated Resident 40 had a "pressure injury to sacrum (location where shearing was documented on 4/25/28)" that measured 1 centimeter (cm), by 1 cm, by 0.2 cm. Medical record review of a "Weekly Pressure Ulcer Record," dated 6/6/18, indicated Resident 40 had a pressure ulcer to her sacrum that now measured 1.3 cm, by 1 cm, by 0.3 cm.

A foam mattress was on her bed. During an interview on 7/20/18 at 11:40 a.m., the DON was asked why Resident 40 had a foam mattress on her bed when she had a Stage 3 pressure ulcer. The DON stated a resident with a Stage 3 pressure ulcer should have a "Hi/Low" mattress (a pressure relieving mattress). When asked why Resident 40 did not have a Hi/Low mattress, the DON stated it should have happened. Review of facility policy titled, "Prevention of Pressure Ulcers" subtitled, "Interventions and Preventive Measures: General" (revised 10/2010) indicated, "2.b. Determine if resident needs a special mattress." Pressure redistribution is the most important feature of a support surface. The body's tissues can withstand higher loads of pressure for short periods of time and lower loads for longer periods of time. A surface that effectively redistributes pressure across the entire body (contact) surface effectively reduces the amount of pressure and extends the time a patient can safely remain in one position (WOCN, 2016b). Review of a publication by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel and Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance, titled, "Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers: Quick Reference Guide" (dated 2014) indicated, "Consider using a high specification reactive foam mattress or nonpowered pressure redistribution support FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: ODJ411 Facility ID: CA010000053 If continuation sheet 16 of 43 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

Review of Resident 40's mattress's product catalog (provided by the facility), titled "(Product Name) Long Term Care Pressure redistribution Mattress" (undated) indicated the mattress was layered, high density foam which provided pressure redistribution. The document did not indicate the mattress provided enhanced pressure redistribution, shear reduction or microclimate control. The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel recommends an assessment of a residents support surface. The surface must be selected that will meet the patient's needs considering the patient's need for pressure redistribution based on the following factors: level of immobility and inactivity; need for microclimate control and shear reduction; size and weight of the patient; risk for development of new pressure ulcers as well as the number, severity, and location of existing pressure ulcers (NPUAP, 2014). 3a) During an observation and interview on 07/17/18 at 9:18 AM, Resident 40 was in bed and she looked thin. She stated she had lost weight. She stated she ate small amounts of food. Medical record review of a nurses note for Resident 40, dated 5/31/18, indicated Resident 40 had a "pressure injury to sacrum."

During electronic medical record review and interview on 7/20/18 at 11:40 a.m., the DON was asked to review Resident 40's medical record concerning her pressure ulcer and nutrition. The DON stated Resident 40 had been assessed for weight loss by dietary on 4/25/18 (prior to the pressure ulcer development) and she was started on fortified cereal at breakfast. The DON stated she saw no other RD notes in the electronic record until June 15, 2018 (two weeks after the pressure ulcer was identified). When asked what was her expectation for a timely RD nutritional assessment, the DON stated Resident 40 "should have been seen right away." When asked why this was important, the DON stated that Resident 40 had a new issue (Stage 3 pressure ulcer) and proper nutrition would help with wound healing. The DON stated she had had communication issues with the RD's, some information was delayed, and some recommendations were not started. During a telephone interview on 7/20/18 at 12:40 p.m., the RD was asked why Resident 40 had not been seen by dietary services until two weeks after her diagnosis with a Stage 3 pressure ulcer. The RD stated her expectation would be for Resident 40 to have been seen right away. 3b) During an observation on 7/16/18, Resident 12 was sitting in her wheelchair. She had a boot on her left foot.

During electronic medical record review and interview on 7/20/18 at 11:40 a.m., the DON was asked to review Resident 12's medical record concerning her DTI. The DON stated Resident 12 was diagnosed with a DTI on her heel on 5/10/18. She stated she had a pressure relieving mattress on her bed and wore a special boot to relieve pressure. The DON stated Resident 12 had a dietary note and nutritional note dated 4/11/18 (prior to her DTI). She stated the next note was June 6th (almost four weeks after her DTI was diagnosed).

A physician (Physician B) prescribed Seroquel, an antipsychotic with a Boxed Warning, to the elderly resident diagnosed with "dementia with no behavioral disturbances" and no history of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Seroquel was routinely administered between 1/20/18 and 7/11/18. Monitoring Seroquel for effectiveness was limited to a single behavior "delusion" as evidenced by "calling her roommate as her mother." The Consultant Pharmacist reviewed the resident's drug regimen six times during that period; however, he did not identify or report irregularities (e.g. lack of documentation in the medical record of an indication and an adequate monitoring plan to evaluate the effectiveness of the medication). The facility's failure to ensure Resident 24's drug regimen was free of unnecessary medication placed Resident 24, at risk for adverse events including death. According to the manufacturer's label, Seroquel is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and contains the boxed warning: "WARNING: INCREASED MORTALITY IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA-RELATED PSYCHOSIS; and SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIORS. Increased Mortality in Elderly Patients with Dementia-Related Psychosis. Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death.

The MAR showed nursing staff monitored one behavior every shift specific to Seroquel "AEB [as evidenced by] delusion (calling her roommate as her mother)." The MARs showed the chart code for "11" corresponded to "No behavior noted." The only code entered by nursing staff between the inclusive period 1/20/18 and 7/11/18 was "11" which indicated the resident did not exhibit one instance of behavior for which the Seroquel was administered.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure one of 12 sampled residents (Resident 24) drug regimen was free from the unnecessary medication Seroquel, an antipsychotic, when there was an absence of a documented indication and monitoring plan for effectiveness of the medication in the medical record. A physician (Physician B) prescribed Seroquel, an antipsychotic with a Boxed Warning, to the elderly resident diagnosed with "dementia with no behavioral disturbances" and no history of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Seroquel was routinely administered between 1/20/18 and 7/11/18.

Hypertension is high blood pressure. A review of Physician's Orders showed at the time of admission the resident had not been prescribed an antipsychotic. A review of the resident's Physicians Orders dated 1/2/18 showed Physician B ordered "Seroquel 12.5 milligram tablet once daily for 1700 [5PM] for delusional thinking / hallucinations." A review of the resident's record showed no evidence that Seroquel was used to treat a specific, diagnosed and documented condition. A review of the resident's Progress Note, dated 1/20/18, signed by Physician B showed, "Behavior again escalating. Trial Seroquel." A review of the resident's Progress Note, dated 2/16/18, signed by Physician B showed, "Dementia with behavior problems, recent elopement, paranoia, aggressive towards staff. Now much better with start of Seroquel. More interactive with staff and participating in activities. Continue same dose for now and will try to taper next month if continuing to do well." A review of the resident's record showed no evidence that resident-specific medication related goals and parameters were established for staff to monitor her progress while on Seroquel. A review of the resident's Medication Administration Records (MARs) for the months January 2018, February 2018, March 2018, April 2018, May 2018, June 2018, and July 2018 showed the facility administered Seroquel as ordered between the inclusive period 1/20/18 and 7/11/18.

The MARs showed the chart code for "11" corresponded to "No behavior noted." The only code entered by nursing staff between the inclusive period 1/20/18 and 7/11/18 was "11" which indicated the resident did not exhibit one instance of behavior for which the Seroquel was administered. Monitoring for effectiveness of Seroquel did not include elopement attempts, paranoia, or aggression towards staff. 7/17/18 at 9:00 a.m. during a concurrent interview and a review of the resident's medical record the Director of Nursing indicated the resident was started on Seroquel because she had dementia and was angry, depressed, packing up clothes, and pushed staff against the wall once." The Director of Nursing indicated antipsychotics were not discussed in Interdisciplinary Team Meetings (IDT). She said, "We only discuss falls." On 7/17/18 at 12:05 p.m. during concurrent interview and a review of the resident's medical record and DRR reports titled, Director of Nursing Report with the Director of Nursing and the Consultant Pharmacist (on the telephone), the Director of Nursing said, "We use dementia with agitation for indication for Seroquel and atypical antipsychotics." The Consultant Pharmacist said, "The indication for the drug is delusional thinking and hallucinations. That would be an appropriate indication for the use of Seroquel certainly. A psychiatric diagnosis would justify the use of Seroquel." The Consultant Pharmacist indicated that the facility had a consistent process to monitor the adverse effects of Seroquel.

On 7/17/18 at 12:30 p.m. during an interview Physician B (on the telephone) indicated she prescribed Seroquel for the resident's behaviors. Physician B said the resident's behaviors were "frowning, hitting, pursed brows, pacing and went outside." Physician B denied the resident had been diagnosed with any of the following labeled indications: chronic psychiatric illness such as schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder; Huntington's disease, Tourette's syndrome (neurological illnesses) or psychotic episodes. Physician B said the resident's "had psychosis." A review of the resident's record showed no documented diagnosis of psychosis. On 7/17/18 at 3:12 p.m. during an interview, the physician and Medical Director said, "We did not discuss Seroquel [for Resident 24] in IDT meetings." He said, "The situation began acutely and continued chronically. Seroquel was used acutely and continued chronically." He indicated the resident had visual hallucinations. He said, "[Nurse Practitioner] A nurse practitioner recommended a psychiatric medication evaluation and [Physician B] declined." The Medical Director indicated that a tool had been provided to guide to prescribers how to document appropriate behavior monitors for antipsychotics.

The facility will conduct an annual review of its IPCP and update their program, as necessary. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a sanitary environment when a staff member did not sanitize a counter and a sink prior to washing his hands after one of three resident housecats (Cat A) was observed lounging and grooming himself on the countertop and drinking water from the faucet and what staff referred to as "his bowl" in a handwashing area of one of one nursing stations (Nursing Station A). The facility's failure placed all residents at risk for adverse outcomes such as an acquired infection as a result of performing handwashing under unsanitary conditions. Findings: On 7/17/18 at 10:02 a.m., a yellow tabby cat with green eyes (Cat A) hopped up from the floor onto a six foot long countertop of standard height in Nursing Station A outside the Medication Room. Cat A placed its paws at the sink's right edge facing the faucet.

On 7/17/18 at 10:02 a.m., Cat A rubbed its velvety nose on the gooseneck faucet but quickly appeared to lose interest. On 7/17/18 at 10:07 a.m., Cat A padded around the counter finally settling at the far end of the counter relative to the sink and appeared to read documents on a clipboard. Cat A rubbed its eyes with its left front paw, groomed a little, yawned, and then stretched out. On 7/17/18 at 10:10 a.m., an unidentified staff member walked to the counter and Cat A sat up on the counter. Staff member made soothing conversation to Cat A as she performed handwashing with soap and water. On 7/17/18 at 3:10 p.m. Cat A was crouched on the same counter. Cat A jarred his bowl and a little water sloshed out onto the countertop. Cat A moseyed over to the sink and wedged itself between the wall and the sink's left facing edge beneath two gel hand sanitizers and beside a container of disposable hand cleaning cloths. Cat A remained on his haunches more or less in that position for two minutes. On 7/17/18 at 3:11 p.m. a staff member approached Cat A. The staff member gave Cat A a big smile and turned on the faucet to let him lap. The staff member introduced himself as the Medical Director and said, "I'm probably not supposed to be doing this." He turned off the water, washed his hands, opened the plastic container with a blue top labeled "hands" and thoroughly wiped down the countertop and faucet. On 7/18/18 at 12:00 p.m. during an interview, the Infection Nurse Preventionist said, "The FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: ODJ411 Facility ID: CA010000053 If continuation sheet 41 of 43 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

She indicated the brown bowl on the sink in the nurses station was "his [Cat A's] bowl" and that she had seen it there before. She looked at the contents and said, "It has water and cat hair in it." She indicated the placement of the water bowl could be an enticement for the cat and she removed it. She said environmental staff disinfect the sink and counter at the Nurses Station Daily. In the same interview the Administrator said, "I don't know what to do - he's a jumper! If I put a gate up he could clear that easy." A review of training inservices for environmental cleaning conducted by the Infection Nurse Preventionist showed neither Cat A's or the Medical Director's names were listed on the attendance sheets. A review of the facility's policy titled, Environmental Cleaning and Disinfection dated 7/3/18 showed, "Objects and environmental surfaces in patient/resident care areas that are touched frequently are cleaned and then disinfected when visibly contaminated or at least daily with an EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) - registered disinfectant. The policy showed examples of high touch surfaces that environmental services staff should clean but it did not mention cats countertops or sinks other than bathroom sinks. A review of the facility's policy titled, Cleaning and Disinfection of Environmental Surfaces dated 6/2009 showed, "Noncritical items are those that come in contact with intact skin but not mucous membranes.
