This survey cited 14 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's privacy was maintained by failing to knock on the door and wait for a response prior to entering 2 (R33, R34) residents' rooms during medication administration. Findings Include: On 07/20/22 09:17 AM V5 (Agency Licensed Practical Nurse) entered R34 room without knocking, removed the blood wrist pressure cuff from her (V5) pocket and placed it on R34 wrist. On 07/20/22 at 09:29 AM V5 (Agency Licensed Practical Nurse) entered R34 room without knocking and administered the medications. On 07/20/22 at 09:32 AM R34 stated they generally knock on the door before entering the room. On 07/20/22 at 12:29 PM V5 (Agency Licensed Practical Nurse) stated I am supposed to knock on the residents' door and announce myself before entering. That is a privacy and dignity issue. On 07/21/22 at 09:42 AM V9 (Registered Nurse) entered R33 room without knocking, R33 was on a bedpan and V9 stated I will be back. On 07/21/22 at 09:48 AM V9 (Registered Nurse) entered V33 room without knocking, leaving the computer screen open, the medication cart unlocked with the keys hanging from the control substance drawer lock. On 07/21/22 at 10:06 AM V9 (Registered Nurse) stated before entering a resident room you should knock on the door unless you are balancing 47 cups. If you cannot knock you should announce yourself. That is an issue of privacy and dignity. On 07/21/22 at 10:21 AM V3 (Director of Nursing) stated staff are supposed to knock on the door, announce themselves and ask for permission to enter before entering the resident room. If staff enter a resident room without knocking that is an issue with privacy. If staff have cups in their hand, they should announce themselves and say good morning the nurse is coming in. The computer screen should be locked or put to sleep when the nurse is away from it. That is an issue with privacy and confidentiality. Document titled Residents' Rights for People in the Long-Term Care Facilities undated document in part: Facility staff must knock before entering your room.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to update the resident record with the correct code status for 3 of 3 (R9, R23, R28) residents.

F 0578 Record review of R133 Physician Order and Care Plan has no document Code status. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm On [DATE] at 12:37 PM V7 (Unit Coordinator) stated R133 Code status should be entered upon admission from the hospital. If the residents are not a DNR they are considered a full code. An order should be written and flagged on the resident face sheet. If the resident is a DNR social service come back and label the chart with a sticker indicating DNR. If a resident that is a DNR is treated as a full code that is a liability on our part and an error for resuscitation. Residents Affected - Some On [DATE] at 12:58 PM V3 (Director of Nursing) stated the Code status is entered when the resident is admitted . The admitting nurse and Supervisor check and reconcile the code status. If there is no code status, then CPR will be initiated. We would do CPR if it were an emergency situation and there is nothing documented to tell us the code status. On [DATE] 10:47 AM V4 (Social Service Director) stated the Code status process is the nurse get the status from the hospital or if a resident verbalizes, they want an advance directive the POLST (Physician Order for Life Sustaining Treatment) form is filled out and signed by the resident or POA (Power of Attorney). The POLST form is uploaded in the computer and a copy is put in the chart, make sure the nurse is aware, provide the nurse with a copy and the code status is changed in the system. When initially entering the facility, the residents are considered a full code unless we have the POLST form. The Code status is verified by nurse then entered into the computer. There should be an order for R133 code status and in the Electronic Medical Records so anyone that look in the Electronic Medical Records should be able to see the code status. The order is received on admission and should be entered into the Electronic Medical Record. If there is no order and the code status is not in the computer, the resident is considered a full code. Our Nurse Practitioner does catch the code status if the resident is a DNR. If the paperwork from the hospital document the code status and we do not have the POLST form I follow up or if it is brought to my attention that the resident is a DNR. The physicians upon assessment ask the resident if they want to be a DNR. I can check R28 chart. If a resident is a DNR and documented as a Full code that is not good at all. I don't have R28 POLST form on the referral information that I received. That is not good if a resident is a DNR, but we have Full code on the face sheet because we will be doing life sustaining interventions on someone who preference is a DNR. There would be an error in treatment. I just uploaded R23 POLST form in the Electronic Medical Records. R23 was in assistant living and came to us for rehab but is transitioning to Long Term Care. R23 paperwork did not come over with R23 and the paperwork was still in assistant living. I addressed the Code status after it was brought to my attention and when I was looking for the POLST form. R133 should have had an order stating she (R133) is a full code upon admission. R9 does not have a POLST form and should have been listed as a full code and not a DNR. I let them know the order needed to be changed. On [DATE] at 11:35 AM V4 (Social Service Director) stated R28 is a DNR. I found the POLST form in the paper chart. There was no DNR sticker on R28 chart for a DNR. An orange sticker is placed on the spine of the paper charts for residents that are DNR's. I was not able to find a POLST form for R9 Document titled Residents' Rights for People in the Long-Term Care Facilities document in part: You have the right to make a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, Living Will, Declaration for Mental Health or Do Not Resuscitate Order. Email dated [DATE] document in part: Subject POLST Form. R9 and R133 full code. R23 DNR selective form and R28 Full code no POLST.

If the enteral feeding is expired, it is supposed to be tossed away. I cannot be used because each resident has enteral feeding specific to them. The expired Xeroform gauze should have been tossed. The expired IV (Intravenous) fluid should be discarded. If the expired IV fluid is used it would be a medication error. The inhaler Advair is good for 6 weeks after opening. If the Advair and Diclofenac is out of the storage bag it could cause cross contamination. Spiriva should have an open date. The eye drops not stored in a bag is a potential for contamination. Insulin is house stock and may not have a resident name on it. If the insulin does not have a name on it, it should be tossed. The insulin is good for 28 days after opening. The insulin that was open and dated on [DATE] should have been discarded by [DATE]. If the insulin had been given that is a medication error and could have been less effective. R9 insulin that was not stored in a bag has a potential for cross contamination. On [DATE] at 03:59 PM V3 (Director of Nursing) stated I called to replace the medications and get the guidelines for the inhalers.

F 0880 for contamination. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm On 07/21/22 at 10:21 AM V3 (Director of Nursing) stated reusable equipment should be cleaned between residents. It can be wiped with alcohol or the bleach wipes and allowed to air dry to avoid cross contamination. That is an infection control issue.
