F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and interview the facility failed to place residents' indwelling catheter urinary drainage bags into a privacy bag. This applies to 2 of 5 residents (R51, R114) reviewed for dignity. The findings include: 1. R51's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R51 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, dementia, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. R51's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated November 21, 2023, showed R51 had moderately impaired cognition. On January 23, 2024, at 9:39 AM, R51's indwelling urinary catheter bag was hanging on the side of the bed facing the door and was visible from the hallway. R51's drainage bag was not in a privacy bag. 2. R114's EMR showed R114 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included obstructive and reflux uropathy acute benign prostatic hyperplasia, and kidney failure. R114's MDS dated [DATE], showed R114 was cognitively intact.

R22 had a 100 units/ml (milliliters) vial (10 ml) of Humalog that was half used stored in the medication cart. V5 was not aware of discrepancy of the ordered insulin and what was administered. On January 24, 2024, at 11:11 AM, V15 (Pharmacist) stated that both Novolog and Humalog are both short acting insulins. V15 stated that generally there should be an order for using different formulation. V15 added that sometimes substitutes are allowed but there needs to be a doctor's order. On January 24, 2024, at 12:39 PM, V23 (Nurse Practitioner) stated that the medications should be administered based on pharmacy recommendation, physician order and/or facility policy. Facility policy (Effective January 1, 2015) included as follows: Policy: It is the policy of this facility to administer some generic drug substitutions. Standards: 1. Generic drugs will be substituted for brand-name drugs only if there is authorization to do so from both the resident or their representative and the attending physician. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to obtain prescriber's orders for holding a dose of insulin and for a formulary exchange of insulin; and failed to assess for medication self -administration and provide a secure bedside storage for self administered medications. This applies to 3 of 3 (R8, R22, R83) residents reviewed for medication administration and medication storage in a sample of 34. 1.R8's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R8 admitted to the facility on [DATE], with multiple diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy, unspecified, type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia, unspecified diastolic congestive heart failure, and cerebral infarction unspecified. R8's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated January 2, 2024, showed R8 with severe cognitive impairment, and required partial assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfer, toileting and lower body dressing, putting on and taking off shoes, moderate assistance for bathing and set up assistance for eating.

On January 22, 2024, the 4:00 PM dose was documented as code 9 (other see nurses notes) was not given and the blood glucose result was documented as 91. There is no documentation that the prescriber was notified of the blood glucose results nor was there an order written to hold the insulin dose for these dates. The facility's policy titled Guidelines for Notifying Physicians of Clinical Problems dated April 2007, showed When contacting the practitioner the nurse should have the following information available .1. Detailed description of the current issue or problem including vital signs, symptoms, and results of physical assessment and 6. Significant medication error .b. If the nature of the medication or severity of the reaction to the medication warrants discussion with the Physician. 2. R83 EMR showed R83 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with multiple diagnoses including Flaccid hemiplegia affecting the left nondominant side, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dependence on oxygen, anxiety disorder, morbid obesity due to excess calories, nicotine dependence, and chronic pain syndrome R83's MDS dated [DATE], showed R83 was cognitively intact, and showed R83 was dependent on staff assistance for toileting, bathing, bed mobility, transfer, and putting on shoes and required extensive assistance for dressing, and personal hygiene and supervision/touching assistance with eating. On January 22, 2024, at 4:30 PM, V28 administered R83 medication except for the Advair HCl inhaler. V28 stated R83 self-administers the Advair inhaler. R83 stated the inhaler is in her room and she uses the inhaler in the morning and at bedtime. V28 did not observe R83 administer the inhaler. R83's order summary showed R83 had an order for Advair HFA inhaler, 2 puff two times a day, scheduled for 08:00 AM and 5:00 PM, unsupervised self-administration-initiated on July 19, 2023. On January 22, 2024, at 5:10 PM, R83 had 2 Advair inhalers, with no date when they were opened or when they would expire, sitting on the bedside table with many other items. R83 stated that is where she keeps her inhaler, on top of the bedside table, not in a secure location. R83's care plan for self-administration of inhaler dated September 7, 2020, intervention Give R83 her inhalers as ordered and watch her administer them to herself, the care plan does not identify where the inhaler should be stored. V2 provided R83's self medication assessment dated [DATE]. There were no self-medication assessments completed prior to that date. On January 23, 2024, at 10:41 AM, V2 stated for a resident to self-administer the medication there needs to be an assessment, an order for self-administration, and normally that medication is kept at the bedside. V2 stated she is unsure how long R83 has had her inhaler at the bedside. The facility's policy titled Self-Administration of Medications dated November 3, 2014, showed Procedures C. For those residents who self-administer, the Interdisciplinary team verifies the resident's ability to self-administer medications by means of a skill assessment, conducted on a quarterly basis or when there has been a significant change in condition and .D. The results of the Interdisciplinary team assessment of resident skills and of the determination regarding bedside storage are 145420 Page 9 of 23 145420 01/25/2024 Bridgeway Senior Living 111 East Washington Bensenville, IL 60106
F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm recorded in the resident's medical record on the care plan . E. If the resident demonstrates the ability to safely self-administer medications a further assessment of the safety of bedside storage is conducted F. Bedside medication storage is permitted only when it does not present a risk to a confused resident who wander into the rooms of or room with residents who self-administer, Conditions outlined in ID3: Bedside Medication Storage are met for bedside storage to occur . Residents Affected - Few The facility's policy titled Bedside Medication Storage dated October 27, 2014, showed C.2) The medications provided to the resident for bedside storage are kept in the containers dispensed by MAC Rx or in the original container if a nonprescription item. 145420 Page 10 of 23 145420 01/25/2024 Bridgeway Senior Living 111 East Washington Bensenville, IL 60106
F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide wound care as ordered by physician and failed to ensure that a resident with a sacral pressure injury was kept clean and dry to promote wound healing per plan of care. This applies to 1 of 8 residents (R11) reviewed for pressure ulcer in the sample of 34. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: R11 is 80 years-old with multiple medical diagnoses which include unstageable pressure ulcer in the sacral region, dementia, generalized weakness, and need assistance with personal care. On January 22, 2024, at 11:47 AM, V13 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) was providing care to R11. There was a pervasive urine odor in the bedroom. R11's linen sheet was heavily saturated with urine, there were layers of brown ring stain in the linen. R1's wound dressing to his sacral area was wet. The label date of the dressing change was faded and illegible. The surrounding skin of the wound was macerated. V13 stated that the last time she changed R11's incontinence brief was at 7:00 AM. On January 24, 2024, at 10:58 AM, V22 (Wound Care Nurse) stated that R11 has a stage 4 sacral ulcer full thickness which means according to the wound doctor, that the wound is deep with exposed muscle. V22 went on to add that R11's dressing should be changed once a day and as needed when it is soiled. The staff nurse does not have to wait for V22 to change the dressing, V22 added that the staff nurse should change the dressing when it is soiled and not wait for the wound nurse. V22 expects that nursing staff will change the dressing when he is not available and that leaving R11 wet with urine would cause worsening of the wound. Physician Order Summary (POS) shows a daily wound care to the sacrum. R11's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) administration history shows that R11 is scheduled for wound care daily at 9:00 AM. The same record shows that R11 received wound care on January 21, 2024, at 1:21 PM and on January 22, 2024, at 8:46 PM. R11's active wound care plan shows: R11 is at high risk for skin breakdown related to impaired mobility, incontinence of bowel and bladder. The same care plan shows multiple interventions which include keeping R11 clean and dry and to check and change for incontinence and repositioning every 2 hours and as needed. 145420 Page 11 of 23 145420 01/25/2024 Bridgeway Senior Living 111 East Washington Bensenville, IL 60106
F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to assess and provide interventions for R150's left hand contracture. This applies to 1 of 5 (R150) residents reviewed for range of motion and positioning in a sample of 34. R150's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R150 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with multiple diagnoses including spastic hemiplegia affecting left non dominant side, weakness, spinal stenosis lumber region, chronic viral hepatitis, vascular dementia, osteoarthritis of left, and contracture of muscle left forearm. R150's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated October 17, 2023, showed R150 with moderate cognitive impairment and impairment of upper extremity range of motion on one side, and substantial assistance from staff for bathing, dressing, bed mobility, dependent on staff for transfer and assistance with eating. R150's care plan ADL (Activity of Daily Living) dated July 10, 2023, identifies limited ROM (Range of Motion), but does not include an intervention for positioning to prevent further contracture. R150's care plan for pain identifies there is a left-hand contracture but does not include an intervention for positioning. On January 22, 2024, at 09:43 AM, R150 was sitting in dining area, with her eyes closed, does not answer questions, only opens eyes to name and was leaning to the left side in the wheelchair, left hand and forearm were contracted in flexion being held against her chest, with no positioning device to the left hand. On January 23, 2024, at 12:09 PM, R150 was observed in the dining room, with her left arm and hand in a flexion contracture against her chest with no positioning device to the left hand. On January 23, 2024, at 12:09 PM, V3 (ADON/Assistant Director of Nursing) stated R150 is supposed to have a rolled washcloth in her left hand. R150's documentation of restorative nursing notes from January 13, 2024, December 12, 2023, October 18, 2023, and August 22, 2023, do not identify left hand contracture or use of a washcloth or palm protector as a positioning device. The intervention described was AROM (Active Range of Motion) to all extremities. The Occupational Therapy assessment dated [DATE], showed R150's left upper extremity required AAROM (Active Assisted Range of Motion) and PROM (Passive Range of Motion) within pain free tolerance for increased joint flexibility and reduced stiffness.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide peri-care in a manner that would prevent urinary tract infection. In addition, the facility failed to ensure that an indwelling urinary catheter bag is not touching the floor. This applies to 5 of the 7 residents (R14, R38, R114, R160, R163) reviewed for peri-care and indwelling urinary care in the sample of 34. The findings include: 1. Face sheet shows that R14 is an [AGE] year-old who has multiple medical diagnoses which include Parkinson's disease, muscle weakness, and urinary tract infection (UTI). On January 22, 2024, at 11:13 AM, V16 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) assisted R14 to the toilet who voided. After R14 voided, V16 assisted R14 to get up and cleaned R14's back perineum. Then V16 pulled the incontinence brief up and assisted R14 back to the bedroom without cleaning her frontal perineum. 2. Face sheet shows that R160 is 85 years-old with multiple medical diagnoses which include need assistance for personal care, lack of coordination, and weakness. Minimum Data Sheet (MDS) dated [DATE] shows that R160 is totally dependent on staff for toileting and hygiene. On January 23, 2024, at 11:20 AM, V16 (CNA) rendered incontinence care to R160 who was wet with urine. V16 wiped R160's frontal perineum in a downward stroke and proceeded to clean the back peri-area. V16 did not separate labia to clean the inner labia and did not clean R160's groins. 3. Face sheet shows that R38 is 95 years-old who has multiple medical diagnoses which include type 2 diabetes mellitus, disorder of kidney and ureter, muscle weakness, history of acute cystitis with hematuria, and history of sepsis due to Escherichia Coli (E. Coli). Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] shows that R38 was dependent with toileting and hygiene. On January 23, 2024, at 1:29 PM, V16 (CNA) rendered incontinence care to R38 who had a bowel movement. V16 used wet wipes to clean R38's peri-area. V16 wiped the frontal perineum in a downward stroke but she did not separate R38's labia to clean the inner corners. V16 also did not clean R38's groins. V16 turned R38 on the left side to clean the back perineum. V16 used wet wipes to clean R38's buttocks and rectum and these same wet wipes were folded repeatedly to wipe the rectum. V16's gloved hands had a direct contact to R38's fecal matter. V16 took a no-rinse foaming cleanser to continue to clean R38. Wearing the same soiled gloves V16 went back to R38's frontal perineum to wipe the outer labia in downward stroke. Again, V16 did not separate the labia and did not clean the groins. On January 23, 2024, at 2:20 PM, V3 (Assistant Director of Nursing/ADON) stated that staff must clean from front to back, explain the procedure to the resident, clean the frontal area by using different clean wipes on each area, open the labia to clean the inner area of the labia, urethra, and the groins to prevent UTI. Facility's Perineal Care Policy and Procedure with revised date of August 2008 shows: Purpose: The purpose of this procedure is to provide cleanliness and comfort to the resident, to prevent 145420 Page 13 of 23 145420 01/25/2024 Bridgeway Senior Living 111 East Washington Bensenville, IL 60106
