This survey cited 7 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. Based on observation, record review and interview the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for two (R 27 and R 54) of 15 residents reviewed for care plans in a total sample of 24. Residents Affected - Few Findings Include: Facility Care Planning policy, revised 7/14/22, documents To utilize the results of the comprehensive assessment to develop, revise, and review resident's care plan. To provide a method for all staff to have needed information in caring for the residents. Each resident will have a plan of care to identify problems, needs and strengths that will identify how the interdisciplinary team will provide care. The resident care plan is the tool used to coordinate all care provided to the resident to be sure care is necessary, appropriate, and planned to meet the individual needs of the resident. It is the responsibility of the staff to ensure that when providing care, the care plan information is utilized. Concerns and problems sources are, but not limited to: relating to diagnoses, physician's orders, and problems related to preventive care. Approach/Plan: List care to be provided for the problem listed. The care must be necessary and appropriate to accomplish the goal stated. Individualized care for the unique needs of the resident. List preventive measures. Resident Care Plan Documentation and Use of the Plan: The MDS/Minimum Data Set nurse shall evaluate every new order form the physician to determine if the resident's care plan requires updating, and the resident care plan must be kept current. 1. R27's online record documents R27 has the following diagnoses: Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3 and Heart Failure. R27's physician order sheet, dated September 1-30th 2022, documents the following: Daily weight monitoring due to Heart Failure every day for Heart Failure; and tubigrips to bilateral lower extremities every shift. R27's current care plan does not include R27's diagnoses of Heart Failure and Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3, or R27's orders for his daily weights and tubigrips for both of his lower legs. On 9/6/22 at 10:18 AM, R27 was in his room in his wheelchair with his bilateral tubigrips on. On 9/08/22 at 11:50 AM, V2 DON/Director of Nursing stated, Our last Care plan/MDS-Minimum Data Set person quit in July (2022), so we are covering as best we can, we hired our current Care plan/MDS person about two weeks ago.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm stated We are behind with care plan updates, our last care plan person has been gone for about three weeks, and we try to update the care plans quarterly (every three months) and as the need arises. I see (R27's) care plan has monthly weights but has nothing about his daily weights, bilateral tubigrips, Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3 or Heart Failure diagnoses but we will add them. Residents Affected - Few 2. R54's medical record documents R54 has a left-hand contracture. On 09/06/22 at 10:20 AM R54 stated I'm supposed to have a carrot in my left hand to help prevent this (contracture), but they lost my carrot. It's been a few days since I've used it. They call it a carrot because it looks like a carrot. It's a soft pillow like device that fits into my hand and opens it up. The staff don't know where it's at. On 09/07/22 at 1:32 PM, V6, Certified Occupational Therapy Aide (COTA) stated We did the evaluation for (R54)'s left hand contracture. After the assessment, we started her on a trial to use a therapy carrot to see how she does with it. (R54) is doing really good with it because (R54) actually uses her carrot more than any other resident. The carrot helps prevent further contraction (Tightening) of the hand. She's supposed to have the carrot. I brought you (R54)'s Occupational Therapy (OT) evaluation and highlighted the section that address the need for interventions of her contracture. R54's Occupational Therapy (OT) evaluation dated 8/29/22 through 9/27/22 documents Clinical impression/Reason for skilled services: Patient would benefit from skilled OT interventions to provide continued assessment of orthotic and establish wear schedule with caregiver and patient education as needed as well as address underlying impairments that are impacting functional performance. R54's current care plan does not address R54's left-handed contraction or interventions for the left-hand contracture. On 9/9/22 at 8:57 AM, V2 Director of Nursing (DON) stated I looked at the (R54)'s care plan and her contracture wasn't added to it. We have a new Care Plan Coordinator that's still learning, so it was missed. It definitely should have been in there.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain transmission-based precautions for two residents (R31, R41) of five residents reviewed for infection control in a total sample of 24. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The facility's Isolation for Transmission Based Precautions policy revised 6/20/22 documents Contact Precautions: 4. Staff will wear gloves (clean, non-sterile) when entering the room. 5. Staff and visitors will wear disposable gown upon entering the room and remove before leaving the room and will avoid touching potentially contaminated surfaces with clothing after gown is removed. Droplet Precautions: 4. Gloves, gown, and goggles should be worn if there is a risk of spraying respiratory secretions. The facility's Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) policy dated 5/31/22 documents 5. Provide the right supplies to ensure easy and correct use of PPE. a. Post signs on the door or wall outside of the resident's room to advise staff to take precautions. Signage on affected rooms will include the type of precautions to be utilized and instructions to use specific appropriate PPE. b. The facility will utilize Transmission Based Precautions appropriate to the circumstances as defined by the CDC (Center for Disease Control) to assure the selection of PPE. The CDC's (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) Prevent the Spread of C. diff guidelines dated 7/20/21 documents C. diff germs are carried from person to person in the feces. If someone with C. diff (or caring for someone with C. diff) doesn't clean their hands with soap and water after using the bathroom, they can spread the germs to people and things they touch. C. diff can also live on people's skin for months. People who touch an infected person's skin can pick up the germs on their hands. Alcohol based hand sanitizers are ineffective in killing c. diff due to the spores. Washing with soap and water is the best way to prevent the spread from person to person. 1. R41's current physician order dated 8/11/22 documents Droplet Isolation precautions for MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) of the Sputum. On 09/07/22 at 9:14 AM, V3, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), observed entering R41's room with N95 mask and face shield on. There is a sign posted at the entryway of R41's room identifying R41 as being under droplet isolation precautions. V3, LPN entered the room and did not don additional PPE, walked across the room to the window where R41 was sitting and gave R41 a medication cup with medication in it and a cup of water. R41 poured the medications directly into her mouth from the medication cup, drank the water from the cup and then handed the medication cup and water cup back to V3, LPN. V3, LPN threw them in the garbage and exited the room. After exiting the room, V3, LPN sanitized her hands and stated I don't know why (R41) is on isolation precautions. I can look it up. It looks like she's on droplet isolation for MRSA of the sputum. V3, LPN, looked behind her at the isolation cart outside of R41's room and acknowledged she should have worn droplet precaution level PPE when entering R41's room. 2.
