Residents Affected - Few The findings include: R33's care plan dated 3/2/24 showed R33 was cognitively impaired related to her diagnosis of dementia. The plan showed R33 was legally blind, hard of hearing, and required staff assistance for all activities of daily living. On 4/15/24 at 9:30 AM, R33 was asleep in a high-back wheelchair located in the doorway of her room. A nickel-sized, light purple bruise was noted to R33's right temple/forehead area. On 4/15/24 at 9:30 AM, V4 Registered Nurse (RN) was asked about R33's bruise. V4 stated, I noticed the bruise sometime last week. The CNA (certified nursing assistant) brought it to my attention because he said the bruise wasn't there the day before. She hasn't had any falls. I am not sure what happened. She can't tell us what happened. Her skin is really thin, so I just thought she hit her head on something or rubbed her head. V4 stated she did not report R33's bruise to V2 Director of Nursing/DON or V1 Administrator. V4 stated she did not document R33's bruise/change in skin condition.

V6 stated he did not document R33's bruise/change in skin condition. On 4/16/24 at 8:47 AM, V2 DON stated R33 did have a discoloration to her head but she bruises easily. V2 DON stated R33 could not explain what caused the bruise due to her impaired cognition. V2 stated V4 RN did not report R33's bruise to her when it was found by V4. V2 DON stated bruises or injuries of unknown origin should be investigated. V2 DON stated no investigation had been done in regard to R33's new bruise. The facility's Prevention of Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation policy dated 1/16/24 showed, Injuries of unknown origin may be indicators of abuse which may include, but are not limited to bruising,

R218 stated he was last toileted around 6:00 AM. At 9:40 AM, V3 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) entered R218's room. R218 stated to V3 CNA, I'm wet. V3 CNA stated to this surveyor, He was up in the wheelchair when I started my shift this morning at 7:00 AM. I haven't toileted him yet today.

R31's brief was saturated with dark yellow urine and stool. R31's buttocks were pink in color. V3 CNA stated this was the first time she had toileted or changed R31 since she started her shift at 7:00 AM.

This has the potential to affect all 51 resident's residing in the facility. The findings include: The CMS-671 dated 4/15/2024 lists total residents at 51. On 4/15/2024 at 10:15AM, a test strip was run by V8 Dietary with V9 Food Service Director present.

V9 said the machine washing in that area is stopped for now and a company has been called to come look at the machine. V9 said that dishwasher is used for resident dishes in the building. V9 said the larger pots and pans are sent to the other kitchen. On 4/15/2024 at 11:55AM, V8 said she normally works in a different area.
