F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that there is a code status documented under the physicians order in a resident's electronic medical record (EMR) which affected one resident (R11) in a sample of 28 residents reviewed for advance directives.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide a safe and functional environment for two residents (R9 and R13) in the sample of 28 residents reviewed for homelike environment. Findings include: R9's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) dated 05/16/24 shows that R9 has a BIMS score of 15 which indicates that R9 is cognitively intact.

V8 stated that V8 is not sure how long R9's room window has been missing a window screen. V8 stated that V8 buys the materials to make the window screens at the facility and that V8 would provide R9's room window with a window screen. When V8 was asked regarding the importance of resident's windows to have a window screen, V8 stated, It (referring to window screens) prevents flies and mosquitoes from entering the resident's room and facility. On 05/21/24 at 1:37 pm, Surveyor brought R13's privacy curtain observation to V17 (Housekeeping Supervisor) and V17 stated that the housekeeping staff is responsible for cleaning the resident's privacy curtains. V17 stated that staff cleans the resident's privacy curtains as needed.

F 0676 Ensure residents do not lose the ability to perform activities of daily living unless there is a medical reason. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents receive assistance with shaving facial hair. This failure has affected one (R12) of six residents reviewed for personal hygiene and care. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: R12 has diagnoses including but not limited to: Inflammatory polyneuropathy, age-related osteoporosis, essential hypertension, and Hyperlipidemia. R12's BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) Score is 12, which indicates moderate impairment. On 5/20/2024 at 11:08 AM, R12 was observed walking in the hallway on the first floor. At that time, Surveyor noted that R12 had facial hair (both above lip and on chin). Surveyor inquired about R12's shaving schedule. On 5/20/2024 at 11:10 AM, R12 said, I was supposed to get shaved yesterday (Sunday), but I didn't have anyone to help me. I can shave myself if they just give me a razor, but they usually always shave my face for me. It's ok. I just have to wait. Surveyor asked if R12 wanted her face shaved now. At that time, R12 said, Yes, I would love to have my face shaved now. It itches and I feel much better when it's shaved. On 5/20/2024 at 11:20 AM, V5 (CNA/Certified Nurse Assistant) said, I usually shave R12 on the weekends, but I was off this past weekend. I'm going to shave her now. Surveyor inquired about R12's ability to shave herself with set-up and minimal assistance as needed. At that time, V5 (CNA) said, She (R12) can probably shave herself, but we just do it for her. Surveyor inquired about the expectations with facial hair on residents. On 5/21/2024 at 1:10 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) said, I would expect for the facial hair to be cut on a resident. It could be irritating, itchy and masculine looking for the female resident. R12' MDS (Minimum Data Set), Functional abilities and goals section documents, R12 requires partial/moderate assistance with personal hygiene, including shaving; Helper does more than half the effort. Helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to prevent a resident's fall from the bed to the floor, who was assessed as a two person assist for bed mobility. This failure affected 1 (R44) of 28 residents reviewed for falls. R44 was emergently transferred to the hospital with increased pain and experiences psychosocial harm, feeling scared and afraid while being turned in bed by staff. Findings include: On 5/20/24 at 11:13am, R44 stated that R44 has been in the facility for almost 2 years, and I (R44) don't walk. R44 stated, I fell out of bed about 2 months ago. I had moved to (another floor) because they needed my room as an isolation room. R44 stated that in R44's current room, R44's bed is up against the wall and that the room on the other floor (where R44 had been temporarily transferred on 2/13/24) didn't have a wall next to R44's bed, so R44's bed was open on both sides. R44 stated, (V20 Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) was on the same (one) side and pushed me over to change me. I was holding onto the end table. When (V20) pushed my (incontinence brief), (V20) pushed it under my buttock, and I fell face first on the floor. I had bruises on my right knee and feet and my toes and elbow hurt. There was no side rail. When asked if one or two CNAs assisted R44 with turning in bed for incontinence or activities of daily living (ADL) care, R44 stated that there was one CNA, but now, a majority of the time, there's 2 people. When asked if the staff move the bed away from the wall to stand on one side (with other CNA on the other side), R44 stated, No. I roll to the side and hang onto the wall. My body hits against the wall to keep me propped up. R44 said that both CNAs stay on the one side for R44's care. R44 stated, I am not over it. I still have issues of getting too close to the side. When asked how does this make R44 feel, R44 stated, I feel afraid on the inside. I talked to my psychiatrist (V24) about it. R44 said that R44 even asked V24 if it was R44's fault that R44 fell, and V24 said, You have nothing to do with it. It's not your fault. They had one aide there. It was their mistake. R44 stated that V24 said to get it out of R44's head and to not think about it. R44 stated that R44 talked to V24 shortly after the fall happened on 2/23/24 with V2 (Director of Nursing/DON). On 5/22/24 at 9:38 am, R44 was reinterviewed and stated that it was at 8:30pm on 2/23/24 when R44 fell from the bed to the floor. When asked if R44 has expressed R44's feelings after R44's fall, R44 stated, I told (V2), and I had talked to (V24) after I had fallen. I still have a phobia to falling off the side of my bed. R44 stated, (V2) was in the room with (V24) when I said that I am scared about rolling off the bed. I told (V2) the other day too. R44 stated that before this fall on 2/23/24, I have never fallen before. When asked about a fall mat as a fall precaution, R44 stated that there was one in the room but that there was problem with the bedside table not rolling on it. R44 stated, I rely on that table.
