What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 4 deficiencies, 2 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 to notify their physician of an acute change in condition as noted in their change in condition policy. This failure affected one of three residents (R3) reviewed for change in condition. The failure contributed to a delay in treatment orders for R3 of over 24 hours. Findings Include: On 7/25/24 at 3:13PM, V10 (Nurse) said, V13 (CNA) updated her that R3 was yelling when V13 touched his left leg. R3 had a history of left knee pain. V10 said, R3 allowed her to move his left leg. R3 was in pain, and grimaced when she attempted to reposition R3 in the wheelchair. V10 said, she is not sure what happen after that because she ended her shift earlier than scheduled. V10 said, R3 was sent to the hospital the following day. V10 said, she thought R3 was having knee pain. On 7/25/24 at 3:30pm, V13 said, she was passing dinner trays. R3 was in his room sitting by the closet which was odd. R3 was normally in the hallway, self-propelling, using his feet and the handrail to go up and down the hallway. V13 said, she placed R3's dinner tray on his bedside table. V13 said, she noticed R3's left leg was bent completely back up under his wheelchair. V13 demonstrated how R3 was sitting in his wheelchair by scooting towards the edge of her seat and placing her leg, with a bent knee behind her completely under the chair. V13 said, she tried to move R3's leg but R3 was in so much pain. R3 was unable to report what happen. On 7/31/24 at 12:58pm, V33 (Medical Doctor) said, she was not notified of R3's injury until after his hospitalization. V33 said, had she been notified, she would have ordered a stat x-ray. On 7/31/24 at 10:30am, V37 (R3's emergency 1st contact) said, she was not notified about R3's leg until 7/14/24. On 7/31/24 at 3:27pm, V10 said, if the doctor was notified it would be charted in the resident's electronic record in a note or an assessment. V10 said, she did not call R3's doctor on 6/13/24. Nursing note dated 6/13/24 written by V10 at 18:36 (6:36pm) documents: Prior to dinner CNA (V13) attempted to reposition resident's (R3) left foot to bring side table towards him.

F 0602 Protect each resident from the wrongful use of the resident's belongings or money. 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 follow their internal refund process policy by not providing a refund of $19, 950.00 within 30 days from the death or discharge date . This affects one resident (R1) of three residents reviewed for misappropriation of resident's funds. Residents Affected - Few Findings Include: R1 admitted in the facility on [DATE] under hospice private pay and expired in the facility on [DATE]. On [DATE] at 12:35PM V3 (Senior Business Manager) stated, private pay put one month and one month deposit, prior to admission or the day of admission. The rate is $21,000 down for private pay and for semiprivate room, this is for one month payment and one month deposit. V3 stated that they have 30 days to send the refund check to resident and family once the resident has been discharged or expired in the facility. On [DATE] at 1:15PM, V3 returned and informed surveyor that V3 called corporate and they were made aware that the person that handles the refund check in corporate is not available, the person was let go and so there was a delay with their processing of the refund. V3 stated that corporate will send the check today and that V3 will call the family of R1 to let them know that the check is ready for pick up today [DATE]. On [DATE] at around 2PM, V3 provided a copy of the refund check pay to the order of R1's family for $19.950.00. Check dated [DATE]. Facility Internal Refund Process Policy not dated, reads in part: Credit balances in private or personal portion due to the resident shall be refunded within 30 days from date and/or discharge. The facility processes refunds for expired resident accounts within 10 days of the date the resident expired. This allows us to meet the state compliance requirement of issuing the refund within 30 days from the death or discharge date . Abuse Policy and Prevention Program 2022, reads in part: The facility affirms the right of our residents to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, deprivation of goods and services by staff or mistreatment. This facility therefore prohibits abuse, neglect, and exploitation, misappropriation of property and mistreatment of residents. In order to do so, the facility has attempted to establish a resident sensitive and resident secure environment. The purpose of this policy is to assure that the facility is doing all that is within its control to prevent occurrences of abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, deprivation of goods and services by staff and mistreatment of residents. Misappropriation of Resident Property means the deliberate misplacement, exploitation or wrongful temporary, or permanent use of a residents belonging or money without the resident's consent.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** A. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow physician orders by not obtaining a urinalysis and culture for one resident who was identified as being incontinent of urine with a new onset of lethargy. This affected one of three residents (R4) reviewed for physician orders. This failure resulted in R4 being sent to the hospital with a diagnosis of urinary tract infection and sepsis. Residents Affected - Few B. Based on interview and record review, the facility conduct a comprehensive body assessment on a resident observed with his left leg/knee contorted under his wheelchair, facial grimacing and yelling out with movement. This affected one of three residents (R3) reviewed for quality of nursing and assessment. This failure resulted in R3 waiting twenty hours for an x-ray order which resulted in a diagnosis of a new acute transcervical left femoral neck fracture with marked impaction and varus angulation. Findings include: A. R4 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of hemiplegia, abnormalities of gait, weakness, depression, hypertension, functional quadriplegia, and compression of the brain. R4'as physician order dated 6/4/24 at 8:05PM documents: STAT chest x-ray, STAT CBC, CMP and Urinalysis with culture and sensitivity. On 7/26/24 at 12:26pm, V14(Lab Tech) said they did not receive any notification from the facility for any urine collection pick ups and did not receive any urine specimens from the facility for R4. On 7/31/24 at 11:32AM, V19(Nurse Consultant) said the facility practice on obtaining a urinalysis from an incontinent patient, would be to get an order for urine straight cath from the doctor and family consent. Staff should let the doctor know if unable to obtain urine specimen. The staff will usually get the sample during night shift or earlier because the lab will pick up specimens in the morning. V19 said the lab comes every morning to the facility. On 7/31/24 at 9:17AM, V36(NP) said if R4 had an order for urinalysis, she would expect staff to have collected specimen prior to hospitalization. Staff should have called to obtain order for straight cath if no urine was able to be obtained especially in an incontinent resident within first day. V36 denies receiving any calls related to R4 needing a straight cath order. V36 said she does not recall receiving any calls related to a change in mental status for R4 and said if she did, she would have sent R4 to the hospital immediately because she was a new admit and a change in her condition. R4's hospital record dated 6/6/24 documents: R4 presents from facility with altered mental status. R4 opens eyes to name but unable to answer questions or follow commands. R4's white blood count was 12.6 high (normal range 4.2-11.0). Clinical impression documents sepsis, tachycardia and acute urinary tract infection. R4s urinalysis dated 6/6/24 documents urine color orange; appearance turbid; occult blood large (normal is negative); leukocytes large (normal result negative), bacteria moderate (normal result none); Mucous present. Urine culture collected 6/6/24 and completed 6/9/24 documents greater than 100,000 Escherichia coli. Blood culture collected 6/6/24 and completed 6/9/24 documents Escherichia coli.

F 0684 R4's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] documents under section H bowel and bladder under urinary continence documents always incontinent. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few B. On 7/25/24 at 3:13PM V10 (Nurse) said, R3 was wheelchair bound, very weak and could not articulate well. V10 said, V13 (CNA) updated her that R3 was yelling when she touched his left leg. R3 had a history of left knee pain. V10 said, R3 allowed her to move his left leg. R3 was in pain. V10 said, R3 had a facial grimace when she attempted to reposition R3's leg while he was in the wheelchair. V10 said, she lifted R3's leg up and down while R3 sat in his wheelchair. V10 demonstrated lifting her leg by gathering both hands underneath her posterior thigh just behind her bent knee and lifted her leg up, with her foot coming off the floor a few inches while she sat in the chair. V10 did this motion once as an example of how she assessed R3 while he was sitting in his wheelchair. V10 said, she administered, R3's scheduled muscle rub to the knee and gave an acetaminophen. V10 said, she was not sure what happen after that because she ended her shift earlier than scheduled. V10 said, R3 was sent to the hospital the following day. R3 was diagnosis with a fracture. V10 said, she thought R3 was having knee pain. On 7/25/24 at 3:30PM, V13 (CNA) said, she was passing dinner trays, R3 was in his room sitting by the closet which was odd. Normally, R3 was in the hallway, self-propelling in his wheelchair using his feet and the handrail to go back and forth in the hallway. R3 normally ate in the dining room. V13 said, she placed R3's dinner tray on his bedside table. V13 said, she noticed R3's left leg was bent completely back up under his wheelchair. V13 demonstrated how R3 was sitting in his wheelchair by scooting towards the edge of her seat and placing her leg, with a bent knee behind her completely under her chair. V13 said, she tried to move R3's leg. R3 was in so much pain. R3 was unable to report what happen. V13 said, she informed V10. On 7/26/24 at 1:33PM, V18 (PAN Nurse) said, R3 was observed in the bed moaning and groaning in pain. The nurse should have assessed R3's pain by completing a comprehensive head to toe assessment which includes vitals, range of motion to limbs, extending and flexing extremities, asking the resident if something happen, notified MD/family and followed given orders. R3 required staff assistance for transfers. R3 was able to self- propel with feet once in wheelchair. On 7/30/24 at 3:55pm, V32 (Nurse) said, R3's words and actions contradicted each other. R3 will say he is not in pain while guarding or holding on to a body part. On 7/31/24 at 12:58pm, V33 (Medical Doctor) said, she was not notified of R3's change of condition on 6/13/24. Severe osteoporosis/osteopenia can contribute to a fracture but whatever trauma happen to R3's leg that caused his leg to be bent completely under his wheelchair was the cause of his hip fracture. V33 said, she was notified about R3's fracture after he returned from the hospital. V33 said, she would expect the nurse to lay R3 down on his bed and complete a full body exam to include range of motion of the extremities after R3 was groaning with facial grimacing and yelling out in pain. R3 would have had severe pain with a hip fracture. V33 said, she would have ordered a stat x-ray had she been informed of R3's change of condition. Most hip fractures are caused by a traumatic event. V33 said, she does not know exactly how R3 fractured his hip. R3 has a diagnosis of prostate cancer but there was no documentation that R3's cancer metastasized to his bones in R3's medical record therefore it cannot be considered as a factor. Nursing note dated 6/13/24 written by V10 at 18:36 (6:36pm) documents: Prior to dinner CNA (V13) attempted to reposition resident's (R3) left foot to bring side table towards him.

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to implement effective individualized fall interventions to include supervision/monitoring and reduce the risk of multiple falls. This affected two of three residents (R2, R8) reviewed for falls prevention interventions. This failure resulted in R2, who had a diagnosis of Dementia and Alzheimer's disease and identified as high fall risk sustaining a second unwitnessed fall from bed requiring hospitalization for an acute comminuted displaced fracture of the bilateral nasal bones and one centimeter lip laceration. In addition, the facility left R8 unsupervised on the floor for 13 minutes following an unwitnessed. Findings include: R2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease, weakness, and dementia. Resident's brief interview for mental status score dated [DATE] documents a score of 3/15 which indicates severe cognitive impairment. R2's fall risk assessment dated [DATE] documents a score of 21 which indicates a high fall risk. R2's incident report dated [DATE] documents: Certified nursing aide reported to nurse that R2 was on the floor. Observed patient lying on her back on the floor at the base of the bed. Resident stated that she fell. The patient was unable to say why she got up but did say that she hit her head when she fell. Under mental status documents oriented to person. Under predisposing physiological factors: confused, hypotensive, gait imbalance and impaired memory.

Falling Star Program Date; Move resident to room with optimal visual access from the nurse's station; Orient resident to surroundings frequently, including location of bathroom, dining room, bedroom and activity locations; Provide proper, well maintained footwear; wing mattress Initiated: [DATE]. On [DATE] at 1:00pm, V16(Therapy Director) said R2 was seen by occupational therapy on [DATE]. At that time R2 required moderate assistance which means 50% help by one person to complete transfers and bed mobility. R2 required frequent cueing during therapy due to cognition. R2's therapy evaluation dated [DATE] documents under fall risk does patient feel unsteady when standing documents an answer of yes; does patient feel unsteady when walking documents an answer of yes; Under balance patient stands without upper extremity support with assistive device as needed x ten seconds? Documents no. Under reason for therapy: Patient presents with impairments in balance, dexterity, fine motor coordination, gross motor coordination, mobility, strength, attention, follow through, planning problem solving, self modification, self monitoring, interpersonal routines/behavior, and use of coping strategies resulting in limitations and /or participation restrictions in the areas of self care, mobility, and general tasks and demand which requires skilled OT services. R2'a hospital record dated [DATE] documents under physical exam: Small laceration to bridge of nose approximately one centimeter. Additional small laceration upper lip, approximately 1.5 cm in length and small interior upper lip laceration.
