What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 8 deficiencies, 3 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 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed follow the Physician Notification in Change of Condition Policy by not notifying MD (Doctor of Medicine) about medications administered late. This failure affected one resident (R157) of eight residents reviewed for notification. Findings include: On 4-15-25 at 11:03 AM, surveyor observed V3 (Registered Nurse) preparing medication for administration. V3 replied R157's medications were due at 9:00 AM. On 4/17/25 at 09:39 AM, V2 (Registered Nurse) said there is a 1-hour window before and after the scheduled time. The nurse is supposed to write a note on the delay in administration of medication. Depending on the medication you would let the MD know about late administration. On 4/17/25 at 10:08 AM, V1 (Director of Nursing) said there is 1 hour window before and after the scheduled time for administration. For Doxycycline the MD should be notified because it's an antibiotic and the schedule can be re-adjusted. Eliquis and Amlodipine are once a day hence it does not need MD notification. The nurse should make a note explaining why the medication was administered late. V3 did not document any notes explaining late administration or MD notification. V3 is on vacation (after 4-16-25) however facility is trying to reach V3 for interview. On 4/17/25 at 11:06 AM, V3 (Registered Nurse) said R157 medications were due at 9:00 AM. V3 was not available for interview after 4-15-25. Facility made several attempts to contact V3 for interview. Surveyor reviewed R157's Medication Administration record and noted medications administered at 10:58 AM. Surveyor reviewed Nursing Progress Notes and did not see any physician notification notes re: late medications. 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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. 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. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0685 Assist a resident in gaining access to vision and hearing services. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to coordinate an appointment with the audiologist to remove hardened ear wax from a resident's bilateral ear canals causing an increase in hearing loss for one out of one (R73) resident reviewed for hearing loss in a total sample of 36. Residents Affected - Few Findings Include: R73 is a [AGE] year old with the following diagnosis: Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, vascular dementia, and paraplegia. The Audiology Progress note dated 12/18/24 documents R73 had a very hard time communicating because R73 could not hear what was being said even while wearing headphones with amplified microphone. R73 reports having poor hearing, but recently, it seems to have gotten worse. Wax was noted in both ears and removal was attempted. In the right ear, about half of the wax was successfully removed. In the left ear, the wax was too hard for any amount to be removed at the time of the appointment. The hearing aid was cleaned and working well. After half of the ear wax was removed from the left ear, R73 told the physician R73 could hear again out of the hearing aid. R73 was happy about this. The deep hardened waxed in both ears is currently making the hearing worse than what it is. Plan to use wax softening drops. Ear wax removal was scheduled for the next visit to attempt to remove more wax once it has been softened by the eardrops. On 04/15/25 at 10:45AM, the surveyor introduced self to R73, and R73 requested the surveyor write down what was being said due to not being able to hear. R73 stated R73 is hard of hearing and has a hearing aide for the left ear. R73 put on glasses to read what the surveyor wrote but told the surveyor the glasses were old and the wrong prescription so R73 could not see or hear what the surveyor was attempting to communicate. On 4/17/25 at 10:50AM, the surveyor tried to speak to R73 but R73 interrupted the surveyor stating R73 could not hear in either ear. The left hearing aide was in place. The surveyor again tried to write down the conversation but R73 told the surveyor that R73 could not see what was written on the paper. On 4/17/25 at 10:57AM, V4 (CNA) stated the nurse puts R73's hearing aides in every morning. V4 reported the hearing aides don't help R73 hear any better and R73 still is hard of hearing with the hearing aide in place. V4 stated staff write out conversations on a piece of paper or type out messages on their phones to communicate with R73. V4 reported staff will also get close to R73's and speak directly into R73's ear. V4 stated R73 can verbalize needs but it is hard for R73 to understand staff. V4 denied being aware of R73's audiology appointments and denied being aware of any excessive amounts of ear wax. On 4/17/25 at 11:02AM, V10 (Nurse) stated R73 wears the hearing aide in the left ear. V10 denied R73 had a hard ear wax build up in the ears and denied knowing about a build up of wax in the past. V10 denied knowing how often the audiologist comes to see residents. V10 stated R73 is hard of hearing and staff communicates with R73 by getting close to R73 and speaking loudly as well as using a thumbs up or thumbs down. V10 reported when a resident has a wax build up, the audiologist will order ear drops to soften the ear wax and then remove the ear wax. V10 denied being aware of how soon the doctor comes after the drops are administered.

F 0685 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few At 1:33PM, V11 (Infection Prevention Nurse) stated the facility was in COVID outbreak status from 1/4/25 through 3/13/25 when the facility received the last positive. V11 reported the facility does not allow outside physicians to the floor where the outbreak is located. V11 confirmed that outbreak status ends two weeks after the last positive which would have been 3/27/25. At V12 (Former Social Services) stated R73's sister called and wanted an update on the hearing aides. V12 reported some wax was removed the last appointment and still had some wax in the ears that was contributing to the hearing loss. V12 stated R73 got the wax softening ear drops but then the facility was under lock down for COVID for at least two months so the audiologist was not able to see R73. V12 reported V12 didn't call the audiologist to come to the facility after the lockdown was completed. V12 stated the last time the audiologist was in the facility was 03/05/25 but didn't see R73 on that visit. V12 stated the audiologist only sees 10 people per visit and if R73 was seen the last time then R73 will be moved to the end of the list. V12 stated 95% of R73's hearing loss is gone and R73 complained to the facility she couldn't hear any longer sometime before December. V12 reported staff communicates with R73 by writing information down for R73 to read or cupping their hand and yelling into R73's ear. V12 stated V12 last worked in the facility on 4/14/25 and R73 still did not have the wax removed to improve hearing. V12 denied reading the audiology note that R73 should have been assessed by the audiologist on the next visit to the facility. A Nursing note dated 1/16/25 documents R73 tested positive for Covid. The Covid Surveillance Line List documents the facility first went into outbreak status on 1/4/25 and had the last positive test on 3/13/25. Two weeks after the last positive was 3/27/25. A Social Service note dated 4/7/25 documents social services received a call from R73's family member. The family member wanted an update on the hearing aids. The family was informed that the facility was under isolation precautions due to Covid approximately two months. Social services explained that R73 had hardened ear wax that still needed to be removed per December 2024 audiology progress note. The Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 12/2024 documents R73 received the wax softening drops to both ears two times a day for five days from 12/19/24 through 12/23/24. The Care Plan dated 12/27/24 documents R73 has a problem with receptive communication, is only sometimes able to understand communication from others and has highly impaired hearing abilities. Although an audiologist has prescribed hearing assistive devices, the hearing aids do not help R73 any better with them. R73 is now deaf in both ears. Social services communicates with R73 in writing. An intervention includes refer to ear, nose, and throat doctor to clear wax out of the ears and reevaluate hearing as directed by the physician. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R73 has highly impaired ability to hear. R73 does use a hearing aid. R73's ability to understand others is documented as usually understands but misses some parts of the message during conversation. Section C of the MDS documents a Brief Interview for Mental Status score as six (severe cognitive impairment). The policy titled, Hearing Impaired Resident, Care of, that is undated documents, Staff will assist hearing impaired residents to maintain effective communication with clinicians, caregivers, all the residents, and visitors.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Actual harm Based on interviews and records reviewed the facility failed to complete a wound assessment and document treatment and findings of the assessment of one resident (R91) who developed a reddened area on her left and right buttock, and failed to ensure there were effective interventions to prevent further deterioration. This failure affected one of five of 5 (R91) reviewed for pressure ulcers in a sample of 36. This failure resulted in R91 developing an unstageable pressure ulcer that required debridement. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: R9's diagnosis include but are not limited to Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Diabetes, Retention of Urine, Vascular Dementia, Cognitive Communication Deficit, and Need for Assistance with Personal Care. On 04/15/25 at 10:50 AM R91 in bed, sleeping on air mattress, on back. R91 did not verbally respond to the surveyor for interview. On 04/16/25 at 11:15AM R91 in bed, sleeping, did not wake when spoken to. On 4/16/25 11:17AM V16, LPN said R91 has a sacral wound, at stage IV and she is on hospice. V16 said R91 stays in bed. V16 said R91 was on antibiotic for her pressure ulcer but she just finished the treatment. On 4/17/25 at 8:25AM V17, CNA, said I turn R91 every 2 hours. R91 awake, eyes open, eating breakfast, looking out the window. No verbal response. At 8:38AM V17 said R91 is completely dependent on staff, she can't move. V17 said we have to turn her; she doesn't help or try to get up. During an interview, in Spanish, in the conference room with the surveyors on 4/17/25, V17 said he reported to wound care a red area, unopened, just red on her buttocks, about the size of a lime. (V17 made a gesture with his fingers in a circle shape and the surveyor asked if that was about the size of a lime and V17 said yes.) V17 said there was no documentation or anything I wrote to report this. V17 said it is just a verbal report to the nurse, right away. V17 said we kept applying the barrier ointment to her and turning her. V17 said it was between 3-7 days when I reported to the nurse before the hospice nurse saw the wound. V17 said I told V19 about it when I first saw it. On 04/17/25 at 09:25 AM V18, Wound Care Director, said R91 has a stage IV pressure ulcer. V18 stated it is the worst one (wound) in the building. V18 said R91's wound was unavoidable because of poor nutrition and her declining health. V18 said the wound has undermining. V18 said we were treating her with antibiotics. V18 said the wound treatment was already done today. V18 said R91's wound was facility acquired, seen initially on 1/21/25 as a stage 3. V18 said R91 had a history of pressure ulcers prior to this one. V18 said the first person to report R91's wound was the hospice nurse to V16 on 1/21/25. V18 said initially R91's wound was classified by the wound doctor as an end of life wound but we can only do for 4 weeks so we classified as IV. V18 said I coded R91's wound wrong initially as stage 3 on the MDS, but I should have classified it as a Deep Tissue Injury (DTI). On 4/17/25 at 11:38AM V19, Wound Nurse, said R91 had a history of wounds that had healed. V19 said the CNA, V17, reported redness to R91's left and right buttocks.

F 0686 Stage 1 when I saw it. V19 said I did not document an assessment of the wound. V17 said I should have documented it. V17 said I went on vacation on 1/17/25 and I was back to work on 2/24/25. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 4/18/25 at 8:58AM V18 said when I spoke with the hospice nurse, she said R91 skin was clear on her hospice admission assessment on 1/16/25. Her skin was reported impaired on 1/21/25. V18 said we had a treatment for a dressing to be applied in January, but we didn't put it on the treatment record. On 4/18/25 at 11:02 AM V23, Wound Doctor, said the facility had a clerical error and the wound order was not on the treatment records. When a wound is found in an ideal world there would be a wound assessment so we can determine what kind of wound it is (like pressure) and to determine if there is improvement or decline by monitoring the wound. On 4/18/25 at 11:54am V1, Director of Nursing, said the purpose of the TAR is to record and document that wound care treatments are done. V1 said if the order is not on the TAR there is no way to show the treatment was done. V1 said I expect all orders to be on the physician order sheets and the TAR. Hospice General Note on 1/16/25 documents clear skin. Treatment Administration Record (TAR) January 2025 has order for Chamosyn that was initiated July 2024, no other treatment.
