On 02/25/25 at 11:44 AM, V6 (Director of Admissions) and V7 (Receptionist) came to do Identified Offender background check review with files. V6 and V7 both stated they do not know why CHIRP was not run for R34 until 10/18/2024. V6 stated they should have been run within 24 hours of admission. On 02/25/25 at 12:44 PM, V6 stated, When we commit to someone coming in, we set up profile, send out notification, pull records into chart and verify insurance. Then reception team does CHIRP, Custody and Illinois sex offender background checks. If reception is not here, my coworker and myself do the checks. Reception uploads into the resident's electronic medical record. If there are hits, Administrator gets notified, I get notified, and my coworker gets notified. From there, we check what the charge is against the list we have and see if we need fingerprinting. We have 5 days to do fingerprinting, but we get that done right away. Once we receive that we upload into the Identified Offender system and email to Administrator, my coworker, and myself. Once that is done, we wait to see if someone is going to come out and interview the resident. Then once the person is discharged , we discharge the resident out of the system and paperwork is filed. I have just been taught that those are the 3 background checks we do. I am not sure why (R34's) CHIRP was done late. We did find that it was done late via audit and administration was aware. On 02/25/25 at 01:52 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated, Everybody will have a national sex offender background check done. This will be done immediately today. And going forward National sex offender background check will be done on every admission. We already do weekly audits since last year around May 1st, 2024. (R34's) CHIRP being done late got missed as receptionist was not here and was caught in the audit. On 02/25/25 at 02:47 PM, V5 (Human Resource Support) stated, For (V9) - Registry was checked today.

It is important to do the background checks prior to admission/hire to keep residents charged in our care safe from abuse/neglect/exploitation. On 02/26/25 at 09:10 AM, V8 (Human Resource Support Supervisor) stated, We were doing an audit in December to correct some of the things we were missing. After that audit, I was unaware of any further issues. I am unsure of why the items were missing or done late. We rely on the leadership team to tell us when the staff start. We are working towards better communication. We are trying to get leadership to understand the why no one can start until all paperwork is done. This should be done for safety and risk to the residents. It is our obligations to our residents to ensure safety of the residents.

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 provide supervision to prevent a fall of a resident (R194) in the bedroom next to the nursing station, affecting one resident (R194) of 3 residents reviewed for falls. Findings Include: R194 is an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a medical diagnosis that includes but is not limited to dementia, cerebral infarction, right below-the-knee amputation, Covid-, 19, hypertension, left-sided weakness, and urinary tract infection. On the (MDS) Minimal data Set assessment of 2/23/2025, section C, the BIMS (Brief Interviewed Mental Status) score was 06/15, and indicates severe cognitive impairment. On MDS of 2/23/2025, GG section, R194 is dependent to move from Chair/bed-to-chair transfer. The ability to transfer to and from a bed to a chair (or wheelchair). Helper does ALL of the effort. The resident does none of the effort to complete the activity. Or the assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity. On record review of the facility fall incident report, dated 2/24/2025 at 4:40 PM, R194 was observed on the floor next to her wheelchair, lying on her side. Hospital computerized tomography of the head records, dated 2/24/2025, showed a new small parietal scalp hematoma. On 2/26/2025 at 9:50 AM, surveyor interviewed R194, who was not able to recall what led up to the fall, but was able to state she went to the hospital after the fall. Surveyor observed R194 with bluish discoloration to the forehead and mild swelling. On 2/26/2025 at 9:57 AM, V13 (Physical Therapist Assistant) said, The speech evaluation ended at 2:20 PM, and I started working with (R194) and focused on chair and arm exercises. (R194) was using the right leg prosthesis and got up in the wheelchair for the first time after she was admitted to the facility. After therapy finished, I brought (R194) to her room and placed her by the door. On 2/26/2025 at 11:29 AM, V14 (Registered nurse) said, I was in the facility when (R194) fell. Earlier during the day, around 1:00 PM, (R194) went to have a speech evaluation and after that, she went to work with the Physical Therapist. (R194) came back at 3:00 PM and was placed by the door, so we could monitor her from the nursing station. On 2/26/2025 at 12:08 PM, V32 (Physical Therapist) said, I evaluated (R194) on admission. (R194) had fair turn control and needed corrections and constant reminders to keep her back straight while sitting in the wheelchair. Usually, I would recommend keeping (R194) up for a maximum of 1 hour at a time to prevent fatigue, and (R194) was deconditioned after the hospitalization. (R194) required maximum assistance to get out of bed and I recommended a mechanical lift for transfers and (R194) had left-sided weakness. I would recommend a tilted wheelchair or a high-back wheelchair because of trunk control. On 2/26/2025 at 2:40 PM, V33 (Nursing Practitioner) said, (R194) was admitted from the hospital with COVID, dementia, and left-sided weakness.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few say if poor trunk control or drowsiness was a factor related to the fall. Some of my recommendations to prevent falls for (R194) is to lower the bed, call light within reach, and round every two hours. On 2/26/2025 at 3:20 PM, video footage was reviewed with V1(Administrator) and V2 (Director of Nursing). R194 was shifting body forward and sat back a couple of times and moved her arm towards the front attempting to reach her leg, at times slumped in chair. At 4:29:47, R194 shifted her body forward, the wheelchair flipped forward, with R194 falling face down out of wheelchair. Nursing staff observed on video passing by the room during the last five minutes before the fall, and no one stopped to assist R194 while she was shifting her body from side to side, trying to reach for her leg, or when she was slumped in the wheelchair. On 2/26/2025 at 3:21 PM V22 (Registered Nurse) said, I was the nurse who completed the assessment for (R194), she was alert to person and place, stable after the fall. 911 was called and (R194) was sent to a local hospital for further evaluation and because (R194) is receiving anticoagulant. (R194) is at high risk for falls because of dementia and post Covid. I did not know how long (R194) was up before the fall. (R194's) room is close to the nursing station and (R194) was positioned by the door, and the staff can monitor her. I cannot recall the exact time I saw her before the fall. V22 was asked how long can R194 safely stay up in the wheelchair unattended. V22 was not able to answer. V14, dayshift nurse, was standing nearby and checked the care plan and orders and no information was found. On 2/26/2025 at 3:30 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/Fall Coordinator) said, I expected the nursing staff to make sure the call light is within reach and to monitor residents that are fall risk closely. V2 was asked how R194 was being closely monitored at the time of the fall. V2 said, Monitoring was not effective because (R194) fell and had an injury, and I don't see any wheelchair mobility or a care plan to address mobility, transfers, or leg prosthesis. I don't know why the care plan is not updated. On 02/26/2025 at 2:22 PM, V1(Administrator) provided a facility policy titled, Falls, Fall Risk and Management, dated March 2018, documenting: Based on previous evaluations and current data, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to minimize complications from falling. Resident-Centered Approaches to Managing Falls and Fall Risk 1. The staff, with the input of the attending physician, will implement a resident-centered fall prevention plan to reduce the specific risk factor(s) of falls for each resident at risk or with a history of falls. Monitoring Subsequent Falls and Fall Risk 1. The staff will monitor and document each resident's response to interventions intended to reduce falling or the risks of falling.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure food is prepared and served under the sanitary conditions, failed to ensure food items were labeled and dated per facility policy, and failed to ensure high-temperature dishwasher final rinsing cycles gauge temperature worked properly during final rinse. These failure applies to 37 residents who receive food prepared in the facility kitchen. Findings include: On 2/24/2025 at 09:29 AM, during the initial rounds in the kitchen with V12 (Director of Dining Services), surveyor observed a box of twenty-four cucumbers, box of broccoli, and a box of tomatoes sitting directly on the floor. V12 said, The delivery just got to the facility, and I expect the staff not to place directly on the floor, and use the cart next to the produce. On 02/25/2025 at 09:45 AM, surveyor checked the temperature for the dishwasher with V12. Surveyor observed the final rinse temperature gauge was not working. V12 said, I already placed a work order, and the facility is waiting for the technician to come and fix it. The facility is using the temperature strip. I could not tell for sure if the final temperature could hold the temperature up above 180 Fahrenheit, and not washing dishes properly can cause infection. The ice machine was observed to have dust and hard water marks built up around the outside on the left side of the leakage area. V12 said, The facility does monthly maintenance cleaning, and staff are expected to wipe out and clean it (ice machine) daily at the end of the shift, but it was not done. The ice cream freezer had six-3 gallons of ice cream half full, with no open date or best buy date. V12 said, I expect staff to date the ice cream as soon as each gallon is opened. A garbage container without a lid was observed half full of garbage across from the ice machine. V12 said, I expected the garbage containers to always have a lid to prevent contamination. On 02/25/2025 at 2:00 PM, V1 (Administrator) said, I was not aware of the dishwasher temperature final rinse gauge not working. The Kitchen will switch and start using (white foam) plates and disposable silverware until the machine is fixed. I expect the staff to follow facility policy and protocol and follow infection control to prevent food poisoning. On 02/26/2025 at 09:10 AM, V12 said, The technician already fixed the dishwasher. The final rinse gauge temperature was working, and surveyor able to observe two rinse cycles, and the temperature was 182 degrees Fahrenheit. On 02/27/2025 at 1:00 PM, V3 (Infection Preventionist) said, I expect the garbage to always have a lid, equipment to be fixed and cleaned. If the dishwater final wash temperature gauge is not working, the kitchen staff need to use (white foam) disposal plates and silverware. Food should be handled properly per facility policy to prevent germ contamination and infection.
