What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 15 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to address a resident's and a family's concern about response to call light wait times and failed to allow a resident to have personal refrigerator in at bedside while allowing another resident to have a personal refrigerator at the bedside. This affected two out of three residents (R15, R82) reviewed for resident rights. Findings Include: R15 is an [AGE] year old with the following diagnosis: heart failure, type 2 diabetes, and chronic atrial fibrillation. R82 is an [AGE] year old with the following diagnosis: Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and anorexia. On 04/22/25 at 11:21AM, R15 was interviewed while on the phone with R15's family member (V36). R15 and V36 reported it take 45 minutes or more for staff to answer the call light. R15 and V36 stated they track time on their phones to see how long staff takes to answer the call light. R15 and R36 reported it will take 45 minutes or more to respond to a call light or request about two or three times a week but it happens most on weekends. V36 stated V36 has spoken to V2 (DON) about the concerns but nothing has been addressed. V36 denied being offered an opportunity to fill out a concern form to have the concern addressed. R15 and V36 stated staff told R15 and V36 the facility can no longer accept personal refrigerators in the room due to being cited by IDPH. R15 and V36 reported the refrigerator was removed about a week ago. On 04/24/25 10:31 AM- V2 (DON) stated the facility has recently implemented in the last week that personal refrigerators are unsafe in resident rooms due to keeping food past expiration dates and wandering residents going in the other people's fridge and eating food that is not theirs. V2 reported R15's fridge was removed from the room within the last week due to those reasons. V2 stated R15 is alert and oriented times three but it not mobile to get out of the bed to clean the fridge. V2 reported there was too many other responsibilities the nursing staff have to worry about to have time to clean and check refrigerators all the time. The surveyor asked what was put in place for the residents that want outside food brought in since the refrigerators were taken away, and V2 said, it is still a work in progress. V2 stated the administrator could better answer the questions about the refrigerator. V2 reported V36 has talked to V2 to discuss call light wait time. V2 stated it was not documented on a concern form because the family did not verbalize with exact words that there was a concern with call light wait time. V2 reported the family and V2 were just having a discussion about R15's care and call light response time was mentioned by V36. V2 denied V36 stating how long they wait (continued on next page) 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. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few but reported the family said it was a long time. V2 reported call lights need to be answered as soon as they are put on and gave an average time frame of 5 to 10 minutes on when staff answer call lights. On 04/24/25 at 10:54 AM, V15 (CNA) reported V15 did not care for R15 so V15 was unaware of the refrigerator being taken in V15's room. V15 reported another R82 had a refrigerator placed in the room last week. V15 confirmed staff is responsible to clean the refrigerators and date/label food. V15 stated nurses, CNAs, and the dietary manager check the refrigerator at least a couple times per week. V15 denied any management telling staff that residents were not allowed to have personal refrigerators in their rooms anymore. On 04/24/25 at 11:05 AM, the surveyor observed a personal refrigerator in R82's room. The surveyor then saw V15 in the hall and V15 said, Yes. I told you she had a fridge in her room. On 4/24/25 at 3:57PM, V37 (Director of Customer Experience) stated an in-service was completed on 2/10/25 for call light response time. V37 reported it was discussed the importance of answering the call lights as soon as possible so residents' needs are being taken care of. V37 stated V37 has gotten complaints from residents or family's within the last six months about call light wait time. V37 reported the complaint time is for waits that are more than two or three minutes. V37 could not give an exact time family's reported waiting for a response. On 4/25/25 at 12:15PM V1 stated the facility began removing personal fridges from resident rooms about a week ago due to safety concerns of dementia residents going into fridges and taking items that are not on their diet. V1 reported some residents still have personal fridges in their room because the facility is still getting around to taking them out. V1 reported angel rounds are done daily by staff and anything in the room that should not be there should be removed and reported as soon as possible. V1 stated R82's refrigerator has not been removed yet because the facility has not educated the family yet. There is no documentation of education that was provided to R15 or V36 on the facility's new protocol of not allowing personal refrigerators in the resident rooms. An in-service dated 2/10/25 documents the topic of education as all staff are to ensure that call lights are answered in a timely manner. CNAs and nurses were the staff educated in this in-service. The policy titled, Call Light Response, dated 1/10/24 documents, General: To provide the staff with guidance on responding to residents' requests and needs. Protocol: .6.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow their Call Light Response policy, by not placing the call light within reach. This affected one of three residents (R321) reviewed for accessible call lights. Residents Affected - Few Finding Include: On 4/22/25 at 12:00pm to 12:08PM, R321 heard yelling Someone Please Help me. Observed R321 in his room, up on a Geri chair, on right side of the bed, foot side area. Call Light on bed, in upper head part of the bed, not within reach of R321. R321 was asking to be put back to bed and voiced out that he is looking for his dentures. On 4/22/25 at 12:10PM, confirmed with V4 (CNA/Restorative Aide) that R321's call light is not within R321's reach. V4 moved and placed the call light closer to R321, and within his reach. On 4/25/24 at 9:00AM, V2 (DON) stated that staff should place the call light within resident's reach. If coming from dialysis, the person placing him in the room should make sure that the call light is within the resident's reach, so they can call for assistance. Call light response policy with a revision date of 3/17/25, reads in part: To provide the staff with guidance on responding to residents' requests and needs. Ensure the call light is always within resident's reach. When the patient or resident is in bed or confined to a bed or chair, provide the call light within easy reach of the patient or resident. Answer the patient or resident's call as soon as possible. Listen to the patients/resident request.

F 0583 Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to preserve one resident's privacy and dignity and obtain informed consent from the resident and resident's POA (power of attorney) to reside in a semi-private room in which the roommate has constant video monitoring. This failure affected two resident (R71, R77) out of three reviewed for privacy in a sample of 37. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: On 4/22/25 at 10:00 AM, signage was observed on R71 and R77's room doorway noting video monitoring is occurring. On 4/25/25 at 8:30 AM, V1 (administrator) stated that consent is obtained if a roommate is placed in a room with video monitoring. On 4/25/25 at 9:10 AM, V17 (social services) stated that R77's BIMS (brief interview of mental status) is 9 or 10 out of 15. V17 stated that R77 can make her needs known. V17 was questioned regarding reason R77's signature and date do not match from the original document in R77's EMR (electronic medical record) and the copy given to this surveyor. V17 stated that she gave this surveyor the original document of the consent and did not want to ask for the original back so she had the resident sign a new consent form and placed in R77's EMR yesterday. When questioned reason this consent was not uploaded into R77's EMR on 9/23/24, V17 replied that this document does not have to be in the EMR. When questioned reason R71's consent was uploaded into R71's EMR, V17 did not respond. V17 stated that this consent form for R77's roommate having a video monitor in room is not related to healthcare and therefore did not need informed consent from R77's POA (power of attorney for healthcare). V17 stated that she spoke with R77's POA in August 2024 and obtained verbal consent for video monitoring. R77's medical record, dated 7/23/24, V17 noted R77 is up for a quarterly review. R77 has a POA in place. R77 has family involvement. R77 is not able to make her own decisions. Her BIMS score is 9 out of 15, moderate impairment. R77's medical record, dated 8/23/24 at 4:35 PM, V17 noted V17 left voicemail message for R77's POA regarding room change. R77's medical record does not note any documentation by V17 between 8/23/24's note and 1/7/25's note.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and records reviewed the facility failed to include intervention prevent or reduce the risk of skin breakdown. for one of three (R1) residents reviewed for plan of care interventions for skin breakdown, failed to follow their policy to complete a comprehensive skin assessment on one resident (R1) with skin impairments on readmission from the hospital to identify the size and appearance of the wounds or dressings present. This failure affected 1 of 4 residents in a sample of 37 residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The findings include: 1.R1's diagnosis includes but are not limited to diabetes, Dementia, Anemia, End Stage Renal Disease, Sacral Pressure Ulcer, Dependence on Renal Dialysis. R1 was admitted to Hospice services on 3/15/25. On 4/24/25 V8 presented the surveyor a care plan labeled original dated 2/3/25 for R1 risk for alteration in skin integrity due to risk factors associated with decreased mobility, poor oral intake, history of pressure ulcers, and advanced age. A second care plan labeled updated for R1 identifies heel protectors and low air loss mattress in place dated 4/24/25. On 04/23/25 10:32 AM R1 in bed, on her back, surveyor knocked on door R1 is not verbally or physically responding to the surveyor. On 04/23/25 at 10:33 AM R1 observed in bed, on an air mattress. V8, Wound Nurse, present. V8 wearing protective boots with toes exposed and support to upper calf region. R1 did not verbally respond or move as V8 was touching R1's legs. On 4/23/25 at 3:29PM V8, Wound Nurse, said the wounds on R1's legs were already there when she returned from the hospital on 3/6/25 in the evening. The surveyor asked how the facility ensures prevention interventions are in place for residents at risk for developing skin impairments. V8 replied I check them and make sure everyone with pressure ulcers has interventions in place. V8 said R1 is not able to move. V8 said I don't know how R1 was laying in the facility bed on readmission because she was not here. V8 said R1 was already considered a high risk for skin. V8 said a score of 0-12 is a high risk on the Braden assessment. The surveyor asked for documentation to show interventions she mentioned, like heel protectors were in place for R1. V8 said I have never had to document the interventions, like heel protectors, were used, or frequency of use. The facility Skin Care Prevention policy dated 1/2025 states all residents will receive appropriate care to decrease the risk of skin breakdown. The facility Care Plan dated 1/2023, in part, states purpose to provide the staff with guidance on completion of comprehensive person centered care baseline care planning. Person centered care means that the facility focuses on the resident as the center of control, and supports each resident in making his or her own choices.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs. The comprehensive care plan should drive the care and services provided for the resident and allow for the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. R1's diagnosis includes but are not limited to diabetes, Dementia, Anemia, End Stage Renal Disease, Sacral Pressure Ulcer, Dependence on Renal Dialysis. R1 was admitted to Hospice services on 3/15/25. On 04/23/25 10:32 AM R1 in bed, on her back, surveyor knocked on door R1 is not verbally or physically responding to the surveyor. On 04/23/25 at 10:33 AM R1observed in bed, on an air mattress. V8, Wound Nurse, present. V8 uncovered R1's legs and showed the right, outer, lower leg with rectangle white dressing. V8 showed left leg with white dressing to back of lower leg/calf region. V8 wearing protective boots with toes exposed and support to upper calf region. R1 did not verbally respond or move as V8 was touching R1's legs. On 04/23/25 at 10:36 AM V13,LPN, said she didn't have pain signs or symptoms for me. V13 said some people say R1 speaks but she only moans for means to communicate. On 4/23/25 at 2:16PM V12, LPN, said when I readmitted R1, I did my skin assessment. V12 said I saw two scars on each leg. One on her right outer legs and one on her left leg. V12 said there were no open areas. V12 said I would have documented any open or impaired areas, R1 had scars. On 4/23/25 at 3:29PM V8, Wound Nurse, said the wounds on R1's legs were already there when she returned from the hospital on 3/6/25 in the evening. The surveyor asked how the facility ensures prevention interventions are in place for residents at risk for developing skin impairments. V8 replied I check them and make sure everyone with pressure ulcers has interventions in place. V8 said I was made aware R1 had pressure ulcers on her legs when I assessed her on 3/7/25. V8 said R1 was readmitted on [DATE] in the evening and V8 said she did not see R1 on 3/6/25. V8 said when I saw the pressure ulcers I saw scars that are open. V8 said there are no skin pictures from 3/6/25 for R1. V8 said R1 had scabs, which are necrotic, the areas on R1's legs are pressure ulcers. V8 said R1 is not able to move. V8 said I am not sure how R1 would have been laying in the bed while in the hospital. V8 said I don't know how R1 was laying in the facility bed on readmission because she was not here. V8 said R1 was already considered a high risk for skin impairment because she had been seen by the wound doctor for a sacral wound. V8 said a score of 0-12 is a high risk on the Braden assessment. V8 said I believe the admitting nurse did a skin assessment on 3/6/25. The surveyor asked for documentation to show interventions she mentioned, like heel protectors were in place for R1. V8 said I have never had to document the interventions, like heel protectors, were used, or frequency of use. On 4/24/25 at 2:07PM V24, Wound Doctor, said a scab is a thick dry area of the skin. V24 said a scar is different than a scab. V24 said a scar is healed tissue not a dry skin area. V24 said I would think a nurse should know the difference between a scab and a scar. V24 said a pressure ulcer can have a scab in it, but a scab is not the same as a pressure ulcer. V24 said a pressure ulcer can develop in a number of hours. V24 said devlopin a necrotic wound in 15 hours is not impossible. V24 said R1 has pressure ulcers on the left and right lower legs. V24 said I only saw R1 once and debrided one leg because of moderate drainage.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to treat elevated blood sugars that were above the resident's baseline before it got to a critical level and the facility failed to put in any interventions for a resident experiencing vomiting and diarrhea to prevent dehydration. This affected two of three (R81, R84) reviewed for nursing quality of care. This failure resulted in R84 being sent to the hospital with a blood sugar level of 521 mg/dL and was diagnosed with uncontrolled diabetes and R81 being sent to the hospital to be treated for severe dehydration after being diagnosed with norovirus. Residents Affected - Few Findings Include: R81 is an [AGE] year old with the following diagnosis: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, and peripheral vascular disease. R81 was at the hospital from [DATE] through the evening of 4/23/25. A Nursing note dated 4/18/25 at 2PM documents the nurse was notified by staff that R81 appeared to be choking. Upon entering the room, the nurse observed emesis and mucous on R81's shirt. The nurse assisted R81 with cleaning up and clearing throat of sputum. The oncoming nurse was made aware in report. A Nursing note dated 4/18/25 at 5:35PM documents the nurse was made aware by the coming nurse that R81 had sputum in the mouth. The nurse still observed sputum coming from R81's mouth. An allergy spray was ordered for R81's nose for seasonal allergies. An order for an antidiarrheal medication was also placed. A Nursing note dated 4/18/25 at 8:57PM documents V37 (Family member) called the nurse to the room because R81 had a very large watery stool. Staff cleaned R81 and administered the antidiarrheal medication. Vital signs show s blood pressure of 107/51. V37 was adamant on sending R81 to the hospital after the staff explained interventions could be put in place at the facility. V37 still insisted on sending R81 to the hospital stating something is wrong. A Nursing note dated 4/19/25 documents R81 was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of colitis. The Hospital Records dated 4/18/25 document R81 arrived to the emergency department with a chief complaint of low blood pressure. The admitting diagnosis was colitis and altered mental status.

A Nurse Practitioner note dated 12/26/24 documents R84 readmitted to the facility on [DATE] after a hospitalization where R84 was diagnosed with lethargy and metabolic encephalopathy. Blood sugars are now controlled. On 4/24/25 at 3:30PM V30 (Nurse) stated V30 define a change in condition as anything that is out of the baseline for a resident's physical status or behaviors. V30 reported each resident has their own baseline and if anything is out of the ordinary, then an assessment must be completed to try to see what is going on. V30 reported there are parameters for certain laboratory levels, and vital signs so the physician can be made aware of what is going on with the resident. V30 reported even if the vital signs or laboratory levels are still within perimeter than the physician still needs to be notified if there is a change. V30 stated nurses need to use their judgment to decide when a resident is having a change of condition. V30 stated the physician needs to be made aware of a change in condition to see if any additional orders need to be put in place so whatever is going on can be managed in the facility. V30 reported that all changes in condition need to be documented and when the physician was notified. V30 stated if a change in condition is not addressed when it is first noted by the nurse, then a situation and the patient's health could decline. On 4/25/25 at 5:03PM, V38 (Former Nurse) stated V38 cared for R84 during the evening shift. V38 reported residents were receiving insulin need to have blood sugars checked before meals and bedtime. V38 could not remember the exact number of R84's blood sugar but knew it was over 500 and considered a critical level. V38 denied being aware that R84 was having a change in condition of elevated blood sugars in the 300s before the blood sugar hit 500. V38 stated once the blood sugars got to the level of 300 then a physician should have been notified because R84 normally did not have blood sugars in the 300s. V38 reported R84 was only ordered a long acting insulin at that time and not on a sliding scale insulin which could have provided additional insulin for R84. V38 reported R84 is not able to speak due to mental status so it was not possible to ask how R84 was feeling. V38 stated by notifying the physician when the blood sugars were in the 300s R84 could have possibly been treated at the facility and not had to go out to the hospital for uncontrolled diabetes. On 4/25/25 at 9:36AM, V31 (Attending Physician) stated a parameter on when to notify a physician should be put in place for a resident who is receiving blood sugar checks. V39 reported basic protocol usually does not have staff notify a physician of elevated blood sugar until the blood sugar is over 400. V31 stated if the blood sugar has become more elevated than usual than an order for extra insulin or labs could be put in place to assess any additional causes of why the blood sugar might be elevated. V31 reported a blood sugar of over 500 indicates a resident is in diabetic keto acidosis (DKA). V31 stated it is caused due to a lack of insulin in the blood and needs to be treated at a hospital once it gets to the level of DKA. On 4/25/25 at 10:52AM, V2 stated if a resident is having blood sugars that are elevated into the 300s that is not their normal then a physician should be notified to see if additional orders need to be put in place.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews and records the facility failed to follow their policy to complete a comprehensive skin assessment on one resident with skin impairments on readmission from the hospital to identify the size and appearance of the wounds or dressings present, failed to ensue effective interventions were in place, and failed to ensure low air loss mattress was used per manufactures recommendations. This affected two of four residents (R1, R325) reviewed for pressures sore preventions and effective interventions. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: 1. R1's diagnosis includes but are not limited to diabetes, Dementia, Anemia, End Stage Renal Disease, Sacral Pressure Ulcer, Dependence on Renal Dialysis. R1 was admitted to Hospice services on 3/15/25. On 4/24/25 V8 presented the surveyor a care plan labeled original dated 2/3/25 for R1 risk for alteration in skin integrity due to risk factors associated with decreased mobility, poor oral intake, history of pressure ulcers, and advanced age. A second care plan labeled updated for R1 identifies heel protectors and low air loss mattress in place dated 4/24/25. 04/23/25 10:32 AM R1 in bed, on her back, surveyor knocked on door R1 is not verbally or physically responding to the surveyor.

R1 did not verbally respond or move as V8 was touching R1's legs. On 4/23/25 at 3:29PM V8, Wound Nurse, said the wounds on R1's legs were already there when she returned from the hospital on 3/6/25 in the evening. The surveyor asked how the facility ensures prevention interventions are in place for residents at risk for developing skin impairments. V8 replied I check them and make sure everyone with pressure ulcers has interventions in place. V8 said R1 is not able to move. V8 said I don't know how R1 was laying in the facility bed on readmission because she was not here. V8 said R1 was already considered a high risk for skin. V8 said a score of 0-12 is a high risk on the Braden assessment. The surveyor asked for documentation to show interventions she mentioned, like heel protectors were in place for R1. V8 said I have never had to document the interventions, like heel protectors, were used, or frequency of use.

The surveyor asked how the facility ensures prevention interventions are in place for residents at risk for developing skin impairments. V8 replied I check them and make sure everyone with pressure ulcers has interventions in place. V8 said I was made aware R1 had pressure ulcers on her legs when I assessed her on 3/7/25. V8 said R1 was readmitted on [DATE] in the evening and V8 said she did not see R1 on 3/6/25. V8 said when I saw the pressure ulcers I saw scars that are open.

V8 said I am not sure how R1 would have been laying in the bed while in the hospital. V8 said I don't know how R1 was laying in the facility bed on readmission because she was not here. V8 said R1 was already considered a high risk for skin impairment because she had been seen by the wound doctor for a sacral wound. V8 said a score of 0-12 is a high risk on the Braden assessment. V8 said I believe the admitting nurse did a skin assessment on 3/6/25. The surveyor asked for documentation to show interventions she mentioned, like heel protectors were in place for R1. V8 said I have never had to document the interventions, like heel protectors, were used, or frequency of use. On 4/24/25 at 2:07PM V24, Wound Doctor, said a scab is a thick dry area of the skin. V24 said a scar is different than a scab. V24 said a scar is healed tissue not a dry skin area. V24 said I would think a nurse should know the difference between a scab and a scar. V24 said a pressure ulcer can have a scab in it, but a scab is not the same as a pressure ulcer. V24 said a pressure ulcer can develop in a number of hours.
