Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to remove or deep clean
(thoroughly clean) carpet from one room
shared by two (Resident 54 and Resident 35)
of 34 sampled residents when the facility was
aware of urine-stained and strong urinesmelling carpet.
This deficiency resulted in Resident 54 and

strong, foul-smelling urine odor. The DON
stated the 700 wing had a sewer problem
underneath the carpet in the hallway, but
confirmed the odor from room 704 was not a
"sewer" smell, but instead a strong urine odor.
During a concurrent interview and record
review with Housekeeping Supervisor (HSS) on
2/6/19 at 9:44 a.m., the HSS stated there was
a schedule for deep cleaning of the nine rooms
with carpet in the facility once a month. Record
review showed deep clean of room 704 by

regarding deep cleans, but relied on a verbal
communication of completion of the rooms by
the janitor.
During an interview with Resident 35 on 2/6/19
at 12:08 p.m., Resident 35 stated he did know
there was a "urine smell" in his room, and

two urinals and sometimes they spill." Resident
35 stated he had been in his room "a long
time", and had grown accustomed to the smell.
During an interview with the DON on 2/7/19 at
10:54 a.m., the DON stated she had worked at
the facility since July, 2018, and had been
aware since she had been here that room 704
had a strong urine smell. The DON stated the
issue regarding room 704 and the strong urine
smell had been addressed in meetings and
huddles, but stated housekeeping stated it was
in the carpets, which went into the concrete,
and there was nothing they could do.
During an interview with the HSS on 2/7/19 at
11:03 a.m., the HSS stated he had been aware
of the carpet smell in room 704, for a while.

upon a significant change in status
assessment.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to ensure a Level 1 Pre-admission
screening and resident review (PASARR-a
mental health assessment tool) form was
accurately coded for one (Resident 97) of 34
sampled residents when question 16 of the
form indicated Resident 97 had a current (less
than 18 months) PASARR in her chart.
This deficient practice had the potential to
result in Resident 97 not receiving appropriate
mental health referrals and care.
Findings:
Review of Resident 97's face sheet, dated
12/18/18, indicated Resident 97 was admitted
to the facility on 12/20/16 and was re-admitted
on 10/24/18 with multiple diagnoses that
included depressive (feeling sad) episodes and
anxiety (feeling worried or nervous) disorder.
Review of Resident 97's medical record,
indicated Resident 97's initial PASARR was
completed on 12/21/16.
Review of Resident 97's record a PASARR
form, dated 12/19/18, indicated the diagnoses
of depressive disorder and anxiety disorder
were not listed under question 13. Further
review of this document, indicated question 16
,"Is there a current (less than 18 months)

During an interview with the Medical Records
Assistant (MRA) on 02/06/19 at 9:45 a.m.,
MRA stated when a PASARR was done online
and question 16 was answered "yes", the rest
of the PASARR sections would close. MRA
stated he was instructed to only put the first
three to four medical diagnoses that were listed
on the residents' face sheets on the PASARR.

admit PASARR was done on 12/21/2016, and
the PASARRs dated 7/24/18, 9/10/18, 11/30/18
and 12/19/18 were incorrectly completed
because question 16 was answered "yes".
MRA stated question 16 should have been

were done after the 18 month time frame. MRA
stated resident's medical diagnoses of
depressive episodes and anxiety disorder
should have been listed on the 12/19/18

Director (MRD) on 2/06/19 11:26 a.m., MRD
stated PASARRs should be done on residents
upon admission and for every readmission.
MRD stated Resident 97's PASARR, dated
12/19/18, was inaccurately completed because
question 16 should have been answered "No"
because the 18 month timeframe had ended.

§ 483.25 Quality of care
Quality of care is a fundamental principle that
applies to all treatment and care provided to
facility residents. Based on the comprehensive
assessment of a resident, the facility must
ensure that residents receive treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards
of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, for two (Resident 5 and 86) of 34
sampled residents, the facility failed to provide
professional nursing care when:
1. the physician's order to change the foley
catheter for Resident 5 was not done;
2. the physician's order to ensure that
emergency supplies were readily available for
Resident 86 was not carried out.
These practices had exposed Resident 5 to risk
for urinary infection and Resident 86 for lifethreatening airway compromise.
Findings:
1. Review of the Admission Record showed
Resident 5 was admitted on 11/16/11 with
multiple diagnosis including Urinary Tract
Infections.

Resident 5 was asleep in bed. A foley catheter
(a thin, sterile tube inserted into the bladder to
drain urine) was hanging on the right side of
the bed. The foley tubing had cloudy urine with
white sediments.
In an interview with the Registered Nurse (RN
5) on 2/4/19 at 10:00 a.m., RN 5 acknowledged
that the foley tubing was cloudy with sediments
and the urine in the bag was cloudy. RN 5
added that the last foley catheter change was
when Resident 5 was in the hospital.

new ulcers from developing.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to monitor and revise
the interventions developed for potential skin
breakdown for one of three residents (Resident
41) who was at risk for skin breakdown.
Resident 41 developed redness/discoloration
over the coccyx/sacrum (large triangular bone
at the base of the spine also know as the
tailbone) which was not acted upon until two
months later when the reddened area
progressed into an unstageable pressure ulcer
(obscured full thickness skin and tissue loss)
containing seventy-five percent slough (soft,
moist, dead tissue).
Findings:
A review of Resident 41's Admission Minimum
Data Set (MDS- an assessment tool) dated
2/19/18 showed Resident 41 was admitted to
the facility on 2/12/18, required two persons
physical assist to position body while in bed,
move to and from a lying position, and turn side
to side, and was always incontinent of bladder
and bowel. The MDS showed Resident 41 had
no healed or unhealed pressure ulcers upon
admission, but was at risk for developing a
pressure ulcer.
A review of Resident 41's Quarterly MDS dated
11/16/18 showed Resident 41 had no pressure
ulcers but was at risk for developing a pressure
ulcer.

Review of Resident 41's care plan initiated on
2/16/18 indicated, "Monitor/document/report to
MD (Medical Doctor) PRN (as needed)
changes in skin status: appearance, color,
wound healing, signs and symptoms of
infection, wound size (length X width X depth),

mattress and chair cushion. Resident needs
assistance to turn/reposition at least every two
hours, more often as needed or requested."
A review of Resident 41's skin/wound note
dated 11/30/18 at 12:01 p.m., indicated an
unstageable pressure ulcer to coccyx was
observed by the wound treatment registered
nurse (WTRN), and measured 1.2 centimeters
by 0.9 centimeters with seventy-five percent
slough and twenty-five percent granulation
(new tissue).
During an observation and concurrent interview
on 2/6/19 at 9:36 a.m., Resident 41 was given
wound care to sacral pressure ulcer by WTRN.
An approximate four centimeter by one and
one half centimeter open area was observed
on sacrum. WTRN stated the pressure ulcer
was unstageable with fifty percent slough and
fifty percent granulation and tunneling (a
passageway underneath the skin through soft
tissue with potential for abscess formation)
from seven o'clock to five o'clock. Resident 41
was given routine Tylenol for pain but was
yelling at times during procedure. WTRN stated
the sacral pressure ulcer was discovered on

3. facility failed to train staff on how to assess,
document and manage HD residents.
4. the staff failed to follow physician's order to
administer medication to Residents 37 on the
dialysis days.
These failures had the potential to result in staff
not recognizing early preventable complications
associated with dysfunctional access site
between hemodialysis treatments and
consequently lead to delayed medical
intervention.
Findings:
1. Review of the Record of Admission showed
Resident 88 was admitted to the facility with
multiple diagnosis including End Stage Renal
Disease [(ESRD) - kidney disease] on HD.
In an observation and concurrent interview on
2/4/19 at 8:30 a.m., Resident 88 was awake
lying in bed watching television. Resident 88
stated that her HD days "are Monday,
Wednesdays, and Fridays." Resident 88 added
that she just had surgery on her right arm for
future HD access and that the center used her
right chest central line to do her dialysis.
In an interview with the Licensed Vocational
Nurse (LVN 1) on 2/5/19 at 9:00 a.m., LVN 1
stated that Resident 88's HD site was on the
right forearm. LVN 1 added that she listened to

right forearm (a bruit is an audible vascular
sound associated with turbulent blood flow
usually heard with the stethoscope, thrill is the

The facility must ensure that its§483.45(f)(2) Residents are free of any
significant medication errors.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to ensure that two
(Resident 37 and 88) of 34 sampled residents
were free from significant medication errors
when:
1. Renagel [a phosphate binder drug used to
lower high blood phosphorus (phosphate)
levels in patients who are on hemodialysis (HD)
- a process in cleaning toxins in the blood due
to severe kidney disease] were administered to
Residents 37 and 88 without meals.
2. the physician was not notified that the
phosphate binder medication for Resident 37
was not given during HD days.
These failures had the potential to result in
significant electrolyte imbalance for Resident
37 and 88 that could lead to life threatening
complications.
Findings:
1. Review of the Record of Admission showed
Resident 88, was admitted to the facility on
4/21/18 with multiple diagnosis including Acute
Kidney Failure, Dependent on Renal Dialysis.
In an observation and concurrent interview on
2/4/19 at 8:05 a.m., Resident 88 was awake
lying in her bed in her room. Resident 88 stated
that she had finished her breakfast but had not
received her medications for this morning.
