F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the call light was in reach for one resident (R26) out of 15 residents reviewed for call lights in the sample 32. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: R26's Current Medical Record documents that R26 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease/COPD, Chronic Respiratory Failure with Hypercapnia, Emphysema, Essential (Primary) Hypertension, Chronic Kidney Disease, and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Hyperglycemia. R26's Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] documents R26 has a BIMs (Brief Interview of Mental Status) of 14 (cognition intact). R26 requires partial assistance for activities of daily living, transfers and is dependent on staff for toileting. On 9/29/24 at 10:55 AM, R26 was sitting in her wheelchair in her room wearing oxygen. R26 did not have the call light in reach. R26 stated that she did not have the call light since staff got her out of bed. On 9/29/24 at 10:57 AM, V8/Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA came into R26's room and found R26's call light near the head of R26's bed on the floor. V8 verified that R26 should have had the call light in reach. On 10/1/24 at 1:28 PM, V2/Director of Nursing stated that the call light should always be in reach of the resident. The Call Light Guidance policy dated 8/20/24, documents 2. A call light activation device shall be kept within resident reach while in resident rooms and bathrooms.

F 0585 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to educate residents on what a grievance is, have grievance forms readily available in a public area in the facility, and allow a resident to file a grievance anonymously if desired. This has the potential to affect all 59 residents living in the facility. Findings: On 9/30/24 at 10 AM, during the Group Meeting, Residents, R9, R10, R50, R211, all stated that they did not know what a grievance was, where forms were kept, how to file a grievance and it could be done anonymously. All four stated that they were interested in having this available to them for future use. R10 stated, it would be nice to let (the administration) know if something was going on without giving your name. On 10/01/24 at 10:15 AM, V1, Administrator, stated, Residents are welcome to tell staff if they have an issue. We don't actually call them grievances, more like concerns. V10, Social Services Director, will record the concern and look into the issue. We do not have grievance forms displayed anywhere for residents or family to fill out. I never thought about the possibility that they would want to do so anonymously. The document, Grievance Policy, and Procedure, dated 9/17/19, states, (The purpose of this policy) is to offer guidance to the facility in identifying, investigating, and resolving grievances reported by residents, visitors, family members or staff. In accordance with federal law, the facility shall post a sign or signs notifying individuals of the right to file a grievance or complaint, including the right to file this action anonymously. The facility's CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) Long Term Care Facility Application for Medicare and Medicaid Form 671 dated 9/29/24 and signed by V1, Administrator, documents 59 residents currently reside within the facility.

F 0610 Respond appropriately to all alleged violations. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview the facility failed to implement their Abuse Policy to remove an alleged perpetrator from direct care of residents once an allegation of abuse was made by R7. This failure has the potential to affect all 59 residents residing within the facility. Residents Affected - Many Findings include: V6's (CNA's) Attendance Card dated 9-28-24 documents V6 worked on 9-28-24 from 6:09 AM through 2:17 PM.

I immediately let (V5) know that (R7) was upset and said I moved her too hard or too fast and I hurt her. I went back in her room around 1:00 PM and (R7) told me to get out of there again. I think I was moving (R7) too fast. (V5) did not suspend me when I informed (V5) around 12:00 PM that (R7) said I hurt her and (R7) was upset with me. I continued to work until a little after 2:00 PM and tried to take care of (R7) again around 1:00 PM. All the residents are on the same hallway at the facility, so I take care of all the residents whenever they need something.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 9-30-24 from 9:10 AM through 12:05 PM R13 was lying in bed on her back with a four-inch raised mat under her knees. R13 had a four-by-four dressing to the left heel. R13's heels were lying directly on the mattress with no pressure relief or off-loading. R13 did not have pressure relieving boots on during this time. On 9-30-24 at 9:10 AM R13 stated, I was told I got the sores on my heels from rubbing my heels on the mattress. That sore is painful, especially when the doctor looks at it. They do not put heel boots on me. My heel boots are in the closet, and no one has been putting them on me. I need them because I have blisters on my heels, and I know I should wear them. On 9-30-24 at 12:08 PM V15 (CNA/Certified Nursing Assistant) entered R13's room and stated, I have not tried to turn (R13) since this morning around 7:00 AM. I do not know if (R13) has heel protector boots or not. I have worked here since August 1, 2024, and I have only seen (R13) wear heel boots one time. I know the boots were green. I have not tried to put heel boots on (R13) ever before. V15 also confirmed R13's heels were laying directly on the bed without pressure relief. V15 then exited R13's room and did not off-load R13's heels off the bed or apply heel pressure relieving boots before exiting the room. On 9-30-24 from 12:08 PM through 2:05 PM R13 was in lying bed on her back with a four-inch raised mat under her knees. R13 had a four-by-four dressing to the left heel.

R13's heels were lying directly on the mattress with no pressure relief or off-loading. R13 did not have on pressure relieving boots at these times. On 10-1-24 at 10:40 AM V14 (Assistant Director of Nursing) stated, I did not know (V18/Wound Physician) had ordered pressure relieving heel boots and off-loading. I thought we (the facility) were just supposed to off-load (R13's) heels. (R13's) heels are not off-loaded off the mattress. I will have to educate the staff on proper positioning of the off-loading device to ensure (R13's) heels are always off the bed. The staff did not have the off-loading device positioned correctly. On 10-1-24 at 10:50 AM V9 (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, I did not see on (V18's) recommendations that (R13) needs heel boots on. I rounded with (V18). I know (R13) has pressure relieving boots in her closet and the staff have not put them on. On 10-1-24 at 11:00 AM V14 (Assistant Director of Nursing/ADON) removed R13's dressing to the left heel pressure ulcer. V21 (Wound Nurse Practitioner) cleansed the wound with normal saline and measured the wound at 1.7 cm by 0.9 cm by 0.2 cm with 10 percent slough covering the wound. The wound bed was dark red with a small amount of serosanguinous drainage. V21 applied honey alginate to the wound bed and covered with a four-by-four gauze and tape. On 10-1-24 at 11:00 AM V21 (Wound Nurse Practitioner) stated, (R13's) heels should be always off-loaded. The wound on (R13's) left heel was caused by pressure and was facility acquired. I prefer (R13) to have pressure relieving boots on always.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete documents Purpose: To provide guidelines that will assist nursing staff in prevention, identification, and appropriate treatment of pressure ulcers. Policy: Prevention program including Turning and Positioning, will be utilized for all residents who have been identified of being at risk for developing pressure ulcers. The facility will initiate an aggressive treatment program for those residents who have pressure ulcers. Responsibility: A pressure ulcer is defined as any lesion caused by unrelieved pressure those results in damage to underlying tissue. Pressure ulcers usually occur over bony prominence and are graded or staged to classify the degree of tissue damage observed. The staging method is one method of describing the extent of the tissue damage in the pressure sore. Stage IV: Full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present on some parts of the wound bed. Often including undermining and tunneling. Pressure Sore Prevention Guidelines and Suggested Interventions: Positioning device should be used to keep bony prominence from direct contact with each other. Residents who are completely immobile should have pressure reducing devices to totally relieve pressure on heels and raise the heels completely off bed.
