documentation of the bed hold policy to the residents, family, or the ombudsman when the residents are
sent to the hospital.
The facility's Bed Hold and readmission policy (effective 11/2016) states that residents, or their designated

therapeutic leave which extends beyond 24 hours. The facility provides written notification at the time of
transfers as included in the designated state form. A specific bed may be held for 10 days for the recipient

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide a resident and/or their family/POA
(POA/Power of Attorney) in writing of the reason for transfer to the hospital. The facility also failed to notify
the ombudsman of the transfer.
This applies to 6 of 6 residents (R26, R35, R50, R68, R72, and R73) reviewed for discharge in a sample of
30.
The findings include:

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide ADL care (Activities of Daily
Living) for 5 residents (R20, R69, R10, R62, & R5) who are dependent on care for daily living in a sample
of 30.
Residents Affected - Some
The findings include:
1. On 12/3/24 at 10:51 am R10 was observed with long jagged nails, white flakes of skin on the right upper
side of his gown next to his face and his face had dry flaking skin. R10's 11/12/24 MDS (minimum data set)
section C showed that R10's cognition is severely impaired. R5's 11/12/24 MDS section GG showed that
R10 is dependent on staff for personal hygiene. R10's 3/8/24 care plan showed that R10 is dependent on
ADLs with approaches including provided assistance with ADLs as needed.
On 12/05/24 11:02 AM V1 DON (Director of Nursing) said that nail care and skin care should be provided
as needed.
2. On 12/03/24 at 10:10 AM R20 was observed with long jagged fingernails.
R20's 11/24/24 MDS section GG showed that R2 needs partial/moderate assistance for hygiene from staff.
On 12/05/24 at 10:15 AM V2 said R20 should not have long jagged nails because he could scratch himself.
V2 looked at R20 EHR (Electronic Health Record) and said that she could not find any documentation
showing that R20 has refused any ADL care.
3. On 12/03/24 at 10:36 AM R69 was observed with long jagged fingernails with a brown substance under
the nails. R69's feet were observed with dry flaking skin. R69's 10/4/24 MDS section C showed that R69's
cognition is severely impaired. R69's 10/4/24 MDS section GG showed that R69 needs setup or clean-up
assistance from staff for personal hygiene. R69's 10/25/24 care plan showed that R60 is limited in his ability
to perform his ADLs related to Alzheimer's and lack of coordination.
On 12/05/24 at 10:26 AM V2 (DON) said that staff should provide nail care as needed because of hygiene,
dignity, infection control and safety. V2 said that the resident can scratch themself and or others. V2 said
that R69 does not refuse any ADL care and that there is no reason that his nails and skin were like that. V2
said that staff should provide lotion to the residents' skin every day and as needed.
4. On 12/03/24 at 10:19 AM R62 was observed with dry flaking skin on his feet and his fingernails were
observed long, jagged and with a brown substance under the nails.
On 12/05/24 at 12:34 PM R62 was observed with long nails with a brown substance under the nails and
V20 CNA (Certified Nurses' Assistant) brought his lunch tray into him, set up his tray but did not ask R62 if
he would like to have his hands cleaned before he ate. At 12:36 PM V20 said that she did not ask R62 if he
wanted his hands cleaned before he ate because she had given him a bath that morning between 730 AM
and 8 AM. V20 said that she had seen the brown substance under his nails and that she should have
offered to clean his hands before he ate.
R62's 9/12/24 MDS section C showed that R62's mental cognition is moderately impaired. R62's

should perform hand hygiene with each glove change and should not move from dirty to clean during
dressing changes. V10 said there should be trash bags in the trash cans to reduce contamination and to
contain infections. V10 said they do can use regular trash cans for isolation rooms, there's no need for
isolation bins as long as staff are disposing trash properly into the soiled utility room.

Make sure that a working call system is available in each resident's bathroom and bathing area.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents' call light
system was functioning properly.
Residents Affected - Few
This applies to 2 of 2 residents (R39 and R42) reviewed for functioning call lights in a sample of 30.
The findings include:
On 12/3/24 at 12:06 PM, R39 in bed. R39's sister was also at her bedside. R39 said her call light has not
been working for a while. R39 said she either yells out for help or asks her roommate to use her call light
when she needs help. R58 (R39's roommate) said she does use her call light to call for staff assistance
when R39 needs help. R58 said they have told staff about the call light not working. At 12:07 PM, surveyor
pushed R39's call light, the light did not come on in her room or outside her room.
Review of R39's Electronic Medical Record shows that R39 has the following diagnoses of metabolic
encephalopathy, dementia, convulsions, shortness of breath and delusional disorders. R39's Minimum Date
Set of 9/25/24 shows that R39's cognition is moderately impaired and is dependent on staff for toileting
hygiene, shower/bathe self and personal hygiene. R39's care plan (initiated on 12/3/24) shows that she is
high risk for falls with intervention to have a call light.
On 12/3/24 at 12:19 PM, surveyor informed V24 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) about R39's call light not
working. V24 checked the call light, pulled it out of the outlet, call light still was not working. V24 said
resident's call light should be working and if it is not working, they should provide either a bell or doorbell for
residents to use so they can call for assistance.
On 12/5/24 at 11:43 AM, V1 (Administrator) said resident's call light should be working so that residents
can call for help. V1 said if the call light is not working, they should transfer the resident to a room with a
working call light or have staff round on the residents more frequently.
The facility's Answering the Call Light policy (revised 8/2008) states the call system should be accessible to
all residents.
2. R42 diagnoses includes diabetes mellitus, acquired absence of right leg below the knee, dysphagia,
anemia autistic disorder and hypertension. R42's care plan states he is limited in functional status
regarding the ability to transfer self. Interventions include to keep the call light in reach.
On 12/03/24 at 11:53 AM, R42's call light was cut short and not available for resident's use.
On 12/05/24 at 12:45 PM, R42's call light was still cut short and not available for his use.
On 12/05/24 at 12:48 PM, V22 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated R42 understands questions and
follows directions. She did not know R42 did not have a working call light. When he needs assistance, he
gets up and comes down the hallway to staff.
On 12/05/24 at 02:08 PM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) stated R42 should have a call light available to
him. He is competent enough to use it.
