V22 reported the pieces of pool noodles were recently placed on R28's lap tray because he was getting bilateral skin tears from the tray.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to identify specific medical conditions or symptoms necessitating the use of physical restraints, failed to assess safe use of restraints, and failed to release a physical restraint every two hours per plan of care. This failure affects two residents (R24, R28) of two reviewed for restraints in the sample list of 22.
Findings Include: The facility policy titled Physical Restraint/Enabler Policy revised 7/24/18 documents physical restraints are any manual method or physical or mechanical device, equipment or material attached, or adjacent to the resident's body which the individual cannot remove easily and which restricts freedom of movement or normal access to his or her body. A device that may constitute a physical restraint may include, but is not limited to: bed rails, self-release waist restraints, soft waist restraints, lap top cushions, vest restraints, Geri-chair with tray table, arm restraints, leg restraints, personal alarms and hand mitts. Allow a two-finger width between the resident's body and the physical restraint. Release the physical restraint at a minimum of every two hours. During this period the resident shall be ambulated (if applicable), repositioned, toileted or changed, and/or skin care and nursing care provided, as appropriate. 1.) R24's undated Face Sheet documents medical diagnoses as Dementia, Insomnia and Hypertension. This same face sheet documents R24 admitted to facility on 10/24/24. R24's Physician Order Sheet (POS) dated November 2024 documents a physician order starting 10/31/24 to apply a self releasing seat belt when R24 is up in her wheelchair. R24's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R24 is severely cognitively impaired. This same MDS documents R24 is dependent on staff for toileting, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, bed mobility and transfers. R24's Care Plan intervention dated 11/13/24 instructs staff to apply self releasing seat belt due to R24 leaning forward. This same care plan documents an intervention dated 11/13/24 to Release device and assist to reposition at least every two hours and PRN for restlessness. R24's Physical Restraint/Enabler assessment dated [DATE] documents R24's physical restraint is treating the conditions of leaning forward, attempting to stand and proper body positioning. This same assessment documents R24 is ambulatory, has no weight bearing restrictions, and has no Musculoskeletal or Neurological Disorder that interferes with ambulation.

On 11/13/24 at 3:45 PM V5 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)/Resident Care Coordinator (RCC) asked R24 to remove her seatbelt. R24 looked at V5 and smiled. R24 did not attempt to remove her seatbelt. R24's seatbelt was fastened with Velcro with a personal alarm sewn into the back of the seatbelt. On 11/14/24 at 11:55 PM R24 was sitting at her dining room table eating lunch with a seat belt connected to itself via Velcro straps. R24's seat belt sat loosely between R24's mid thighs and knees. On 11/13/24 at 2:00 PM V6 Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) stated R24's seatbelt has not been released since before breakfast when R24 was assisted out of bed. V6 stated V6 did offer toileting to R24 before lunch and R24 declined. V6 stated R24's seatbelt is so loose R24 can reposition herself without staff having to do it for R24. On 11/14/24 at 4:00 PM V5 LPN/RCC asked R24 to remove her seatbelt. R24's seatbelt was fastened with Velcro with a personal alarm sewn into the back of the seatbelt. R24 looked at V5 and smiled.

R24's seatbelt was fastened with Velcro with a personal alarm sewn into the back of the seatbelt. R24 looked at V3 and smiled. R24 did not attempt to remove her seatbelt. V3 MDS/LPN stated R24 should not have a personal alarm in her wheelchair. V3 MDS/LPN stated We (facility) aren't supposed to have that many restraints. (R24) can stand and take a few steps but we (facility) are afraid she will fall so that is why she has the seatbelt and pommel cushion. V3 stated R24 would scoot her buttocks forward in her wheelchair under the seat belt to attempt to stand so the pommel cushion was placed in R24's wheelchair to prevent her from standing. On 11/14/24 at 12:46 PM V2 Regional Director of Operations stated any resident utilizing a physical restraint should have a medical diagnosis documented as the primary reason for use. V2 stated any resident who is using a physical restraint should have that restraint released every two hours for repositioning. V2 stated R24's seatbelt restraint should not be so loose. V2 stated R24's seatbelt restraint being so loose could cause a safety hazard.

Findings Include: The facility policy titled Perineal Cleansing reviewed 12/17 documents staff should wash pubic area including upper inner aspect of both thighs and frontal portion of perineum prior to washing resident buttocks and to dry areas thoroughly after cleansing. The basic infection control concept for perineal care is to wash from the cleanest to the dirtiest and remember to change or remove gloves and wash hands when going from working with contaminated items to clean items. 1.) R22's undated Face Sheet documents medical diagnoses as Dementia, Cognitive Communication Disorder, Acute Kidney Failure and Diabetes Mellitus Type II. R22's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R22 as severely cognitively impaired. This same MDS documents R22 as dependent on staff for toileting, bathing, dressing, transfers and requires maximum assistance for personal hygiene. R22's Care Plan intervention dated 7/22/24 documents R22 requires extensive assistance of two staff for toileting. On 11/12/24 observations were made every 15 minutes of R22 sitting her wheelchair from 10:30 AM through 1:00 PM without staff offering or assisting R22 with incontinence care. On 11/13/24 from 11:00 AM through 3:00 PM R22 sat in her wheelchair without staff offering nor assisting R22 with incontinence care. At 2:00 PM R22 was sitting at the end of her hallway in her wheelchair. R22's pants were saturated with urine from front perineal area up to her upper hip area. R22's mechanical lift sling was saturated with urine. R22 had two softball sized urine puddles on the floor underneath her wheelchair. V5 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)/Resident Care Coordinator (RCC) stated R22 is fully saturated with urine and should be provided incontinence care. On 11/13/24 at 3:00 PM V9 and V12 Certified Nurse Aide (CNA's) provided incontinence care for R22. R22's seat of her wheelchair was wet with urine. R22's pants and mechanical lift sling were saturated with urine. R22's incontinence brief was grossly saturated with foul smelling urine. On 11/13/24 at 3:30 PM V9 and V12 Certified Nurse Aide (CNA's) stated neither V9 nor V12 had offered or assisted R22 with incontinence care since they started their shift. V9 CNA stated I came in early today at 11:00 AM and haven't had time to do anything with (R22). (R22) should have been checked before lunch but I just didn't get to her. 2.) R10's undated Face Sheet documents medical diagnoses as Dementia and History of Urinary Tract Infections (UTI). R10's Minimum Data Sheet (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R10 as severely cognitively impaired. This

same MDS documents R10 is dependent on staff for toileting, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, bed mobility and transfers. On 11/13/24 at 1:35 PM V6 and V10 Certified Nurse Aides (CNA) provided incontinence care for R10. V6 CNA cleansed R10's buttocks, assisted R10 to her back and then cleansed her front perineal area. V6 did not dry R10's buttocks nor front perineal area after cleansing with no rinse cleanser. V6 did not change gloves or use hand hygiene throughout entire process. V6 did not provide barrier cream to R10's buttocks. R10's incontinence brief was thoroughly saturated, light brown in color and had a strong urine smell. On 11/13/24 at 1:50 PM V6 Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) stated V6 should have used hand hygiene, applied barrier cream and cleansed R10's front perineal area prior to cleansing R10's buttocks. V6 CNA confirmed R10's incontinence brief was saturated with urine. V6 CNA stated (R10's) incontinence brief was so wet and heavy because she hasn't been changed (provided incontinence care) since before lunch around 11:00 AM. (R10) has had a UTI before so we (staff) probably shouldn't wait so long with (R10) because sitting in urine can cause UTI's. On 11/14/24 at 12:45 PM V2 Regional Director of Operations stated residents who are incontinent and rely on staff to provide cares should be provided incontinence care every two hours. V2 stated staff should change their gloves when their gloves become contaminated. V2 stated staff should follow the incontinence care policy by cleansing the front perineal area prior to cleansing the back perineal area. V2 stated improper incontinence care and residents sitting in urine for long periods of time could cause a resident to get a UTI.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 3. On 11/13/24 at 12:28 PM V6 Certified Nurses Assistant (CNA) was observed in R26's room standing directly in front of R26's chair assisting her with eating the noon meal. R26 is Covid positive. The only PPE V6 was wearing was a surgical mask covering only her mouth and not her nose. V6 CNA stated she doesn't know what she is supposed to be wearing in a room with droplet precautions because she has never worked during a Covid outbreak. There was Droplet Precaution sign on R26's door with instructions on what Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be worn in R26's room.
Residents Affected - Many
On 11/13/24 at 12:34 PM V7 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) confirmed V6 CNA should have been wearing gloves, gown, eye protection, and a N95 mask while feeding a resident with Covid On 11/13/24 at 12:38 PM V5 Infection Preventionist confirmed V6 CNA should be wearing gloves, gown, eye protection, and a N95 mask while providing care or feeding a resident with Covid. On 11/15/24 at 1:45 PM V2 Regional Administrator confirmed Certified Nurses Assistants have access to all residents in the facility and if they do not utilize the required PPE while caring for residents with Covid, the risk for potentially exposing other residents and staff throughout the facility significantly increases. The Covid-19 Control Measures policy dated May 2023 documents in the event of a facility outbreak, all health care personnel must wear an N95 mask and eye protection when caring for all residents. The undated Contact Precautions sign documents staff are to wear gloves and gowns when entering a resident's room that is on Isolation Precautions.
