What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 3 deficiencies, 1 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 0677 Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide incontinence care for 1 of 5 residents (R2) reviewed for Activities of Daily Living in the sample of 5. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: On 4/24/23 at 12:21 PM, V9, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), said she was R2's nurse on 4/15/23 [Day Shift]. V9 said R2 had a BM (bowel movement) and she tried to change him, but was unable to clean his backside due to his pain. V9 said she knew they left R2 dirty. V9 said not cleaning up a resident could cause skin issues, like wounds. On 4/24/23 at 11:50 AM, V10, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), said it's not good to leave a resident in stool as a wound can develop quickly. On 4/24/23 at 2:55 PM, V16, LPN, said she was R2's nurse on 4/15/23 [Evening Shift]. V16 said she received report from the day shift and was told R2 refused to be changed during day shift. V16 said if a resident has stool, they have to clean him as his skin can breakdown. V16 said R2 had been sitting since the morning with BM and he could get an infection. V16 said R2 refused to be changed and had not been changed since the morning. On 4/24/23 at 2:41 PM, V15, Registered Nurse (RN), said she was R2's nurse from 11:00 PM on 4/15/23 to 7:00 AM going into 4/16/23. V15 said evening shift endorsed R2 to her without being changed. V15 said R2 was not changed on the evening shift (3:00 PM-11:00 PM), so she wanted to change him. V15 said she changed R2's top sheet, but did not check R2 for BM. On 4/24/23 at 9:52 AM, V2, Director of Nursing (DON) said residents need to receive the best care possible. The best practice is, of course, to receive care. On 4/24/23 at 1:30 PM, V18, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel, said they got R2 to the hospital and the emergency room nurse got R2 into a gown and told V18 R2 had dried BM all over his back. R2's General Progress Notes show R2 refused care on 4/15/23 at 3:49 PM, 11:15 PM, 11:37 PM and again on 4/16/23 at 2:16 AM. R2's General Progress Notes from 4/16/23 at 2:15 AM show that R2 was sent to the hospital at 3:20 AM. R2's Care Plan provided by the facility (dated 2/26/23) shows R2 has an ADL (activities of daily living) self-care performance deficit and is totally dependent on staff for toilet use, has a (continued on next page) 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.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure safety precautions were in place during a resident transfer for 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for safety in the sample of 5. The findings include: R1's face sheet shows she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including: hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side, abnormality of gait and mobility, lack of coordination, reduced mobility and aphasia following cerebral infarction. R1's 3/23/23 facility assessment shows her cognition and memory are intact, she requires extensive 2 person staff assistance with transfers from bed to chair, and limited 1 person staff assistance with toileting. On 4/24/23 at 10:05 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) said she was notified by V8 (Unit Manager) on 4/13/23 that R1 had reported to the therapy department, while R1 was being transferred and toileted a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) pulled on her right arm and R1 felt a pop in her arm. V2 said R1 had right sided weakness from a stroke and could not use her right arm. V2 said the CNA that had toileted R1 was identified as V13 and she was in-serviced about proper transfers. On 4/24/23 at 10:56 AM, V8 (Unit Manager) said she was contacted by R1 and V7 (R1's daughter) who said earlier that morning when R1 was being transferred and toileted by V13 who transferred her alone, V13 pulled on R1's right arm and R1 felt a pop. On 4/24/23 at 11:21 AM, V4 (Occupational Therapist) said she worked with R1 during therapy on 4/13/23. R1 told her she was having pain to her right shoulder because a CNA had pulled her arm during a transfer earlier that morning and R1 felt it pop. V4 said she assessed R1's shoulder and found a significant change from the previous day. V4 said R1's shoulder had a 2 finger separation between the acromion process and humerus in her shoulder. V4 said this is consistent with her shoulder being out of alignment. V4 said she was able to move R1's shoulder in a position to re-align it, R1 said she experienced immediate relief. V4 then taped R1's shoulder to add an extra measure of stability. V4 said R1's right arm is flaccid (she cannot use that arm, it dangles down) and she requires a sling during all transfers for protection to that arm. V4 said she had explained this to nursing and also had written instructions on the white board in R1's room. R1's Occupational Therapy note completed by V4 on 4/13/23 at 4:55 PM, states, reported of Inc. R GHJ pain, upon inspection, there is a significant subluxation x2 finger breadths, per pt. the night CNA grabbed her shoulder during the transfers.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 4/24/23 at 11:47 AM, V3 (Physical Therapist) said R1 was upgraded from a sit to stand lift to a 1-2 person pivot transfer with a gait belt and she could safely transfer if the staff used a gait belt, went slow with her, and made sure her right arm sling was on during all transfers. On 4/24/23 at 12:43 AM, V6 (CNA) said R1 was able to transfer with 1 CNA but they had to move very slowly and she had to have her arm sling on during all transfers. V6 said gait belts should be used for all resident transfers and residents should be lifted with that and not by their arms. On 4/24/23 at 1:02 PM, V13 (CNA) said on the morning of 4/13/23 she went into R1's room to take R1 to the bathroom. V13 was alone in the room and assisted R1 out of bed and into the bathroom. V13 then put both of R1's arms on the rail in the bathroom and grabbed the back of R1's pants to help guide her up. V13 was unable to recall when asked if R1 had her sling on during the transfer. V13 confirmed that R1's arm was flaccid but said She could curl it up. V13 said after R1 was finished toileting she went back into the room and assisted her to transfer off the toilet, again using the rail and both arms and put her in her chair to watch TV. On 4/24/23 at 1:09 PM, V12 (Medical Director) said she spoke with R1 after the incident with her arm being pulled. V12 said R1 had told her she heard a pop while a CNA was using her arm to transfer her. V12 said therapy had treated R1's arm so the dislocation probably would not have shown up on the X-ray but she ordered one for R1 anyway. V12 said safety measure were in place that staff were supposed to be using such as a sling during transfers. V12 said she cannot speak for sure if a CNA using R1's arm during the transfer caused a dislocation. On 4/24/23 at 2:10 PM, V14 (Restorative Nurse) said R1 had been upgraded on 4/4/23 from a sit to stand lift to a partial-extensive assist and gait belt and a sling during transfers. V14 staff were in-serviced on this change in R1's transfer status for safety measures to use. The facility provided Gait Belt policy revised on 7/8/22 states, The facility will use gait or transfer belts to assist residents needing limited total assistance during transfers and walking. 1. Staff will use a gait/transfer belt on residents who need limited to total assistance with transfer or walking.

V9 said she called R2's doctor for an X-ray. V9 said the following day (4/16/23), the night shift nurse told her R2 had been in too much pain during the night to wait for the in house x-ray results, so they sent him to the hospital. On 4/24/23 at 2:55 PM, V16, LPN, said she was R2's nurse on the evening shift (3 PM to 11:30 PM) on 4/15/23. V16 said R2 complained of pain in the left knee.

There is no correlating documentation in R2's Progress Notes to explain why or when R2 may have received pain medication while V16 was his nurse on 4/15/23 nor was there documentation regarding R2's doctor being contacted during that time. On 4/24/23 at 2:41 PM, V15, Registered Nurse (RN), said she was R2's nurse during the night shift on 4/15/23 going into 4/16/23.

V15 said she believes R2 had been rating his pain a 7 or 8 on a 0-10 scale. V15 said R2 was not comfortable. V15 said she did not administer any pain medications to R2. V15 said when pain medication is given, it is documented on the MAR. V15 said she contacted R2's doctor and was told to send him to the hospital because they could not control his pain. R2's Progress Notes written by V15 on 4/15/23 at 11:15 PM show V15 attempted to call R2's doctor and was waiting for a return call and R2 was refusing care due to pain of his left knee and left hip.
