F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to assess, treat, and notify the physician of newly acquired pressure ulcers and apply a physician ordered treatment for one of one (R23) resident reviewed for pressure ulcers on the sample list of 18. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: On 6/24/24 at 1:25 PM, R23 was sitting in a recliner in his room. R23 stated he was having terrible pain to his bottom. R23 stated, It's sore! On 6/26/24 at 10:00 AM, V8 Certified Nurse's Assistant stated that she worked on Sunday (6/23/24) and noticed that R23 had open areas to his buttocks and coccyx. V8 stated she notified V10 Licensed Practical Nurse about the open areas. V8 stated she worked Sunday (6/23/24), yesterday (6/25/24), and today (6/26/24) and has not seen a treatment on R23's buttocks or coccyx. On 6/26/24 at 10:10 AM, a dime sized pressure ulcer was present to the left of R23's coccyx, an eraser head sized pressure ulcer was present to the right of R23's coccyx, and a thick, red, raised area of skin containing scattered open areas was present on R23's left buttock along the entire length of the intergluteal cleft. At this time, a treatment was not in place to the coccyx or buttocks. V2 (Director of Nursing) then walked in and assessed the areas and confirmed that R23's buttocks had multiple stage two pressure areas with maceration to the left buttock. R23's medical record did not contain an assessment with measurements or a description of the wounds to R23's buttocks, or that the physician was notified. There is no documentation that a treatment was ordered for the pressure areas that were present to the right and left of the coccyx. R23's Treatment Administration Record form documents an order dated 6/6/24 for an absorbent wound dressing to the left buttock and to change it every three days for Moisture Associated Skin Damage (MASD). This sheet does not document an order or that a treatment was applied to the pressure areas to the right and left of R23's coccyx. On 6/26/24 at 11:20 AM, V2 stated an assessment of R23's wounds should have been documented in R23's medical record. V2 stated on 6/23/24, V10 should have assessed the areas to R23's coccyx and notified the physician after V8 told her about the areas. V2 stated there is a treatment order for the MASD but not for the pressure ulcer to the left and right of R23's coccyx. V2 stated an absorbent wound dressing should have been present to the MASD on R23's buttocks. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm R25's Electronic Medical Record (EMR) does not document any Neurological Assessments completed for R25's 6/21/24 at 5:40 AM fall. This same EMR documents incomplete Neurological Assessments for R25's 6/21/24 11:10 PM fall. This same EMR documents the last time R25 had been observed prior to his 6/21/24 at 5:40 AM fall was 10:00 PM on 6/20/24 and the last time R25 had been observed prior to his 6/21/24 at 11:10 PM fall was 8:03 PM. Residents Affected - Few On 6/26/24 at 11:20 AM V1, Administrator stated R25 fell in his room twice the same day on 6/21/24. V1 stated That is on us. We (facility) should have seen that one coming since (R25) is cognitively impaired and he did not have his fall interventions in place. V1 stated the facility does not really know what happened because the fall investigation was not thorough and there are no root causes determined. V1 Administrator stated when a resident falls and hits their head that resident should be assessed Neurologically for three days total. V1 stated if a resident falls while on Neurological Assessments, then the Neuro's start all over again. V1 Administrator stated We (facility) have a lot of work to do with our fall program. We are going to start with inservicing. On 6/26/24 at 1:15 PM V2 Director of Nurses (DON) stated anytime a resident has an unwitnessed fall the staff should assume there is a possibility of the resident hitting their head and complete Neurological Assessments for three days.

The facility policy titled 'Fall Prevention Program' reviewed March 2024 documents the facility will identify and implement related care link interventions. The facility will review and discuss potential root cause of fall. The facility policy titled 'Head Injury' reviewed March 2024 documents the facility will complete Neurological Assessments on all residents who have suffered from a head injury.

F 0881 Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to follow their Antibiotic Stewardship Protocol by administering a prophylactic antibiotic for one of four residents (R10) reviewed for Infection Control in a sample list of 18 residents. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: R10's undated Face Sheet documents R10's medical diagnoses as: Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia and a personal history of Urinary Tract Infections (UTI). R10's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R10 as severely cognitively impaired. R10's Physician Order Sheet (POS) dated June 2024 document a physician order starting 12/24/23 for Cephalexin 250 milligrams (mg) daily for recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTI). R10's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated June 2024 documents R10 was administered Cephalexin 250 mg daily for the month of June, 2024. The facility antibiotic tracking log dated January-June 2024 documents R10 was on Cephalexin 250 mg daily prophylactically for a history of UTI's. On 6/25/24 at 1:30 PM V2 Director of Nurses (DON) stated R10 has been on an antibiotic for a history of frequent Urinary Tract Infections (UTI). V2 DON stated Normally the Infection Preventionist (IP) would catch that and make sure the documentation is complete but we (facility) don't have an IP so that got missed. V2's Family insisted that we (facility) put (R10) on the antibiotic long term. I don't think it has helped though because (R10) had a UTI a few months ago when she was already on the prophylactic antibiotic. The facility policy dated November 28, 2017 titled 'Antibiotic Stewardship Program' documents review of laboratory reports for susceptibility and the need to change the current antibiotic will be used. Antibiotic stewardship requires the right antibiotic for the right indication at the right dose and the right duration.
