Findings include: On (9/24/24) IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) received allegations that a resident residing in the facility has no plan of care.

R1's (9/25/24) Care Conference states resident is receiving physical therapy. Physical Therapy focus: bed mobility and transfers. R1's (9/27/24) functional assessment affirms resident is dependent on staff for sit to stand, chair/bed to chair transfer, and toilet transfer. Dressing requires substantial/maximal assistance. R1's care plan (initiated September 2024) includes self-care deficit, impaired mobility, and high risk for falls [Interventions exclude required transfer and/or dressing assistance].

The baseline care plan will be developed within 48 hours of the resident admission into the facility. Surveyor inquired if R1's care plan includes required dressing assistance, V8 responded So under restorative it says she (R1) has a self-care deficit and bed mobility related to decreased ability to position or reposition self in bed. The intervention is position and reposition resident in bed for comfort, joint support, and skin integrity [provide dressing assistance was excluded]. Surveyor inquired if R1's care plan includes transfer instructions, V8 replied That would be under the task, if its anything specific it would be here, so I don't see anything specific for her (R1). Surveyor inquired how R1 transfers from the bed to the chair, V8 stated You would have to ask restorative that's beyond MDS's scope, I provide medical data.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based upon observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to follow policy procedures, failed monitor blood glucose levels, failed to ensure that medication administration records include actual times for administration, failed to follow physician orders, and/or failed to ensure that medications/supplements were administered and documented within regulatory requirements for nine of thirteen residents (R1, R3, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10) in the sample. The facility also failed to ensure that (R2's) Humalog was ordered and administered before meals, this failure resulted in R2's frequent blood glucose levels above 200. On 9/2/24, R2's blood glucose level was 399 (critical high). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: On (9/24/24) IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) received allegations that medications are not administered at the facility as ordered and there's no set schedule for when medications are given. In addition, blood glucose and blood pressure are not being monitored at the facility. R2's diagnoses include type II diabetes mellitus and metabolic encephalopathy. R2's POS (Physician Order Sheets) include (4/2/24) blood glucose check before meals. (4/7/24) Humalog (Insulin) per sliding scale one time a day. R2's (September 2024) MAR (Medication Administration Record) affirms blood glucose level was above 200 on 9/1, 9/2, 9/3, 9/6, 9/8, 9/9, 9/11, 9/12, 9/13, 9/14, 9/16, 9/17, 9/18, 9/19, 9/22, 9/23, 9/25, 9/26, 9/27, and 9/29 [20 days]. R2's (9/2/24) 11:00am blood sugar was 399. On 10/8/24 at 12:12 pm, surveyor inquired if blood glucose checks are ordered before meals and a resident is prescribed Humalog how often should the Humalog be administered V11 (Medical Director) stated Usually whenever they check the blood sugar, it depends on how the physicians order it. Usually, we check the blood sugar before meals and try to cover that. Surveyor inquired if prescribing Humalog only once a day is appropriate for a resident with blood glucose levels frequently above 200 V11 responded It can be that way depending on the patient. We might need to adjust the dose or the frequency, it depends on the patient. Surveyor inquired about Humalog insulin V11 replied It's not a long acting one, it doesn't last a long time. Surveyor inquired about potential harm to a resident with a blood sugar of 399 that's not treated, V11 stated If it's a one time reading probably nothing but if it's a persistent reading over a couple weeks, it can start causing dehydration or frequent urination. Long term non-controlled diabetes can affect the kidneys. R1's diagnoses include type II diabetes mellitus. R1's (9/27/24) BIMS (Brief Interview Mental Status) determined a score of 9 (moderate impairment).
