**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure timely and thorough incontinence care
was provided to 1 of 3 residents (R3) reviewed for incontinence care in the sample of 11.
Residents Affected - Few
The finding include:
R3's admission Record, provided by the facility on 3/19/25, showed R3 had diagnoses including, but not
limited to, protein-calorie malnutrition, morbid obesity, dermatitis, vitamin B12 deficiency, anemia,
hypertension, adjustment disorder, and abnormal uterine and vaginal bleeding.
R3's facility assessment dated [DATE], showed R3 was cognitively intact with no behaviors, always
incontinent of bowel and bladder, and dependent on staff for toileting hygiene.
R3's care plan, with a revision date of 11/21/2024, showed R3 is at risk of alteration in skin integrity related
to protein-calorie malnutrition, morbid obesity, anemia, history of falls, and incontinence. One of the
interventions listed was Provide skin care after each incontinent episode.R3's care plan initiated on
6/7/2022 showed she is incontinent of bowel and bladder. R3's care plan initiated on 6/7/2022 showed she
requires extensive assist of one staff member for toileting.
R3's 9/25/2023 Wound note showed she had a stage IV pressure injury at that time.
On 3/18/25 at 10:00 AM, R3 was lying in bed. R3 was alert and oriented. R3 said she has to wait a very
long time for staff to answer her call light and provide incontinence care. R3 said sometimes it is several
hours. R3 said she was incontinent of urine, and wet at that time. R3 said she is waiting to finish her bowel
movement before she turns on her call light. At 10:12 AM, R3 put her call light on. At 10:13 AM, V15
(Licensed Practical Nurse-LPN) knocked on the door and entered R3's room. R3 informed V15 that she
was soiled and needed to be changed. V15 said she would get the aide right now. V15 left the room. At
10:35 AM, R3 said See, they do not come in and clean me up right away when I turn my light on. I deserve
to be treated with dignity, and sitting in a soiled brief is not dignified. R3 said They do not clean me up all
the way so I usually ask for a washcloth and clean up better to make sure I am clean. At 10:38 AM, V16
(Certified Nursing Assistant-CNA) knocked on the door, opened it, saw surveyor and said oh, I will come
back when you are done. This surveyor told V16 that she could come in now. V16 said okay then closed the
door without entering R3's room. At 10:40 AM, V16 entered R3's room with garbage bags, went into the
bathroom and then back out of R3's room. At 10:42 AM, V16 came back into R3's room, went into the
bathroom and put a gown and gloves on. At 10:43 AM, V16 approached R3 to start providing care (31
minutes after R3 first put her call light on). V16 cleaned R3's buttocks/backside, then placed a brief under
R3. R3 rolled onto her back and V16 wiped R3's right groin two times, then wiped R3's pubic area and then
about halfway down the middle

brief. R3 said wait and asked for a washcloth. R3 used the washcloth to wipe her lower vaginal area. When
R3 brought the washcloth up, there was visible stool on the washcloth. V16 gave R3 a second washcloth.
R3 again wiped the lower vaginal area and there was more stool on the washcloth. R3 folded the cloth and
wiped a third time, with no stool noted on the washcloth. R3 told V16 she could secure the brief at that time.
Residents Affected - Few
On 3/19/25 at 11:10 AM, V3 (Director of Nursing-DON) said call lights should be answered within 5-10
minutes. V3 said if the CNA is busy with another resident, the nurse should be able to assist with
incontinence care. If a resident has a history of pressure injuries or skin breakdown, it is important to keep
them clean and dry. It is important to ensure the resident is cleaned well and the skin is dried when
providing incontinence care. V3 said the CNA should have made sure she cleaned all the stool from V3
during care, to prevent infection and skin breakdown.

Provide medically-related social services to help each resident achieve the highest possible quality of life.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to coordinate with an outside agency in a timely
manner to complete guardianship paperwork for a resident with severe mental illness for 3 of 3 residents
(R1) reviewed for medically related social services in the sample of 11.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
On 3/14/25 at 2:59 PM, V14 (Case Manager for APS (Adult Protective Services)) said R1 was admitted to
the facility in November 2024. V14 said she made a referral for state guardianship on 12/6/24. V14 said R1
was homeless, prior to admission to the facility. V14 said she had been in contact with V7 (Business Office
Manager - BOM) about the status of R1's state guardianship because the facility was not receiving payment
for R1. V14 said she received a call from the facility wanting us to approve medication changes and I told
them I was not her guardian and could not do that. The office of state guardianship emailed me in the
beginning of January and said they needed an updated physician's report. I visited [R1] at the facility on
1/8/25 and informed [V5 - Social Services] that I needed an updated physician's report. [V5] said he would
get me one. On 1/9/25 I sent [V7-BOM] an email just to make sure that she was aware that I needed an
updated physician's report because I did not get one. On 1/17/25 I got an email from V7 [BOM] about an
involuntary discharge - asking me if that goes to me. I said no, but you have not answered my requests for
an updated physician's report. I notified [V11 - Ombudsman] about these issues, she gave me [V1's Administrator] phone number. I spoke with [V1] and she said [V7 - BOM and V5 - Social Services] did not
keep her informed about what was going on. [V1 - Administrator] assured me that [R1] was not being
discharged . This was on 1/17/25 . on 1/29/25 I sent another email to [V1 - Administrator] asking her where
the Physician's Report was for [R1]. I did not hear back from her. On 2/11/25 I called and spoke with [V1 Administrator] and asked where the report was. [V1] said she would get it to me. On 2/14/25 they sent the
report, but it was not fully completed. I sent V1 an email the same day that the form was not completed. I
did not get a reply. On 2/24/25 I emailed [V1] again informing her that the form was not completed. There
was no reply. On 2/26/25 I went to the facility and saw [R1]. I informed the staff I needed to speak with [V1 Administrator]. I was told she was not available. On 3/10/25 I called [V1 - Administrator] and said I emailed
her on 2/14 and 2/24 and was letting her know that I still needed the Physician's Report. [V1 Administrator] said she did not see the emails. As we were talking she said, Oh, I see them. She said she
would send the completed updated physician's report. On 3/11/25 I finally got the completed Physician's
Report. I sent the report to the state guardianship office. The surveyor asked V14 how this would affect R1.
V14 replied, [R1] is not able to make her own decisions such as if she wants to be a DNR, consent for
medication changes, or whether or not she wants to be sent out to a hospital or not.
R1's Facesheet dated 3/18/25 showed delusional disorders, mild protein-calorie malnutrition, pneumonia,
major depressive disorder, dementia with psychotic disturbance, unspecified psychosis, insomnia,
cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, chronic heart failure, noncompliance with medical regimen, and repeated
falls. This form showed R1 was admitted to the facility 11/6/24.
R1's Progress Notes were reviewed for her entire stay. R1's Nurses Note dated 12/13/24 at 12:05 PM by V8
(RN - Registered Nurse) showed, Spoke with patient's case manager (V14) regarding patient's new
psychotropic medication. Case manager told writer that she is unable to consent or deny any medication.
She further added that she (had) informed the social service coordinator that she initiated the process of
applying for state guardianship for the patient. The state guardian can then give

Practitioner) as well . There were no notes addressing the coordination of services or communication
related to R1's need for the updated Physician's Report.

medication non-compliance . [R1] exhibits the symptom of resisting care which is related to medication
non-compliance . R1's Advanced Directives Care Plan revised 12/3/24 showed, [R1's] POLST (Physician

related to diagnoses such as: agitation/aggression; isolative behaviors/may prefer to stay in room and not
socialize; refusal of care; wandering, pacing .
The Social Security Payee Application was faxed to the social service office 1/8/25. This application
included a form (Medical Source Opinion of Patient's Capability to Manage Benefits) completed by R1's
physician. This form was dated 12/31/24 and showed the resident had dementia and had demonstrated
episodes of confusion. Question 7 on this form asked: Can the patient successfully manage or direct the
management of funds to meet basic needs. R1's physician answered, Unsure: Patient found living in her
care and confused. I am unable to directly observe her paying bills. Question 8 on this form asked: Do you
expect the patient to be able to manage or direct the management of his or her benefits in the future? R1's
physician answered No: The patient has been at this facility for a few months and has not shown any
improvements. (This application was submitted on R1's behalf to make the facility R1's payee. The fax
transmittal showed the forms were faxed to the Social Security Office on 1/8/25.
On 3/18/25 at 12:41 PM, V7 (BOM) said R1 had an active APS (Adult Protection Services) case prior to
admission to the facility. V7 said the facility did apply to be the Representative Payee for R1's Social
Services benefits, the application was approved, and the facility had just received the first check from
Social Security for R1. V7 said R1 had not paid her bills at the facility since admission in November 2024
and was not providing the facility with any of the requested information. V7 said R1 reported she had
houses and family, but wouldn't provide any specific information. V7 said she had assisted the facility in
petitioning for state guardianship before, but was not involved in R1's state guardianship application. V7
said Social Services would have been handling this.
On 3/18/25 at 1:24 PM, V6 (Social Services) said she was not R1's assigned Social Services
Representative. V6 said if the APS case manager visits a resident or they request information regarding the
resident, then there should be a Social Services Note entered into the EMR (Electronic Medical Record).
V6 said it is important to document the information in the resident's EMR for continuity of care and
communication with other staff members.
On 3/19/25 at 9:41 AM, V1 (Administrator) said Social Services documents scheduled assessments in the
forms and should document other interactions in the progress notes. V1 said anything out of the ordinary
(such as APS requests for resident documents) should be documented in the Social Services Notes as a
way to communicate with the care team and ensure continuity of care. V1 said the information is required to
be in the resident's Medical Record. V1 said she was not aware that APS requested an updated Physician
Assessment until she was contacted by V11 (Ombudsman) on 1/17/25. V1 said she wasn't aware that V14
(APS Case Manager) has requested the updated Physician Assessment from other staff members. V1 said
that was not communicated with her. V1 said the Physician Assessment form was given to the DON
(Director of Nursing) to have the doctor fill it out. V1 said there were three unsuccessful attempts to
complete the document. V1 said she did receive a call fro V14 (APS Case Manager)

on 2/13/25 and the Physician Assessment was emailed on 2/14/25. V1 stated, I assumed it was taken care
of. The emails [V14 - APS Case Manager] sent went to my spam folder. I thought everything was taken care
of until I received the call from [V14] on 3/11/25. I checked my spam folder and found the emails. I had the
form completed and sent it the next day. V1 said R1 was admitted to the facility, from the hospital, after
being found living in her care. V1 said R1 had times were she was pleasant and cooperative, but had
required involuntary petitions to inpatient behavioral health due to aggressive behaviors and refusals to
take medications. V1 said R1 had poor safety awareness and it was important to pursue state guardianship.
V1 said it shouldn't have taken 2-3 months for R1's updated Physician Assessment to be completed and
submitted to APS. V1 said she wasn't aware the process started 12/13/24 and then it was a cluster trying to
get the form properly completed.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure they employeed a qualified
social worker on a full time basis. This has the potential to affect all residents residing in the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
The findings include:
The Facility Data Sheet dated 3/18/24 showed the facility census was 175.
On 3/18/25 at 1:24 PM, V6 (Social Services) said she just found out V5 (Social Services) was terminated.
V6 stated, I'm the only Social Services now. [V2 - Assistant Administator] had been helping me out, but she
has a lot of other responsibilities. I was hired to cover a specific unit. When I started in August there were
three of us. Myself, [V5 and V10]. There isn't a Social Services Director. There hasn't been since V25
(previous Social Services Director) left and V5 has been gone since October 2024. I am not a Licensed
Social Worker. I have an Associates Degree in Healthcare Management and Human Resources and years
of experience in long-term care.
On 3/18/25 at 2:14 PM, V2 (Assistant Administrator) said she was helping Social Services with MDS
(Minimum Data Set) assessments and covering new admissions on a unit. V2 said she had not done Social
Services before and was just pitching in.
On 3/18/25 at 2:30 PM, the surveyor requested credentials for V2, V5 and V6 (Social Services). These
documents were not received.
On 3/19/25 at 9:41 AM, V1 (Administrator) provided credentials for V12 and V13 (LCSW - Licensed Clinical
Social Worker). V1 said V12 and V13 were Social Services Consultants and are not in the building on a
full-time basis. V1 said V12 works remotely and visits the facility quarterly. V1 stated, Yesterday I made
arrangements for someone to come out three times a week because [V5 - Social Services] was terminated.
V1 said V5 and V6 are not LCSWs. V1 said V25's (previous SSD) last day was 5/31/24. V1 said the SSD
position had been posted online for months, but the facility was having difficulty finding a qualified
candidate. V1 said the facility's average daily census is around 170. V1 said she was aware of the
qualifications required for a Social Services worker in a building over 120 beds. V1 said the facility was not
meeting that requirement. V1 said the day to day role of Social Services was to round with residents,
interact with families, and intervene as needed. V1 said Social Services are responsible for the Care Plan
Meetings, perform the quaterly MDS assessments, discharge planning, and making referrals for
psychotherapy. V1 said Social Services is the go to for residents if anything is needed.
The Facility Assessment Tool dated 8/2024 showed the average daily census was 167 residents. This
