This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to notify the Ombudsman's office of the reason for transfer for three of 14 sampled residents (Residents 45, 51, and 87), when: 1. Resident 45 was transferred to hospital on October 13, 2018. 2. Resident 51 was transferred to the hospital on October 6, 2018, October 21, 2018, and November 21, 2018. 3. Resident 87 was transferred to the hospital on December 31, 2018. These failed practices had the potential for facility initiated transfers to go unchecked. Findings: 1.

Bed hold x 7 days." There was no documentation that the ombudsman was notified of the resident's transfer in Resident 45's clinical record. During an interview and a concurrent record review with the Social Services Coordinator (SSC) on January 10, 2019, at 11:43 AM, the SSC verified there was no notification sent to the Ombudsman for Resident 45's emergency transfer on October 13, 2018. The SSC further stated, "I didn't realize I had to notify the Ombudsman for transfers in the hospitals." 2. A review of the clinical record for Resident 51 on January 10, 2019, at 5:04 PM indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on June 27, 2018 for diabetes mellitus (disease affecting blood sugar level), hypertension (high blood pressure), and alcohol abuse. The following PTOs were noted: a. PTO, dated October 6, 2018, indicated an order to transfer Resident 51 to the Emergency Room (ER) for evaluation and possible admission. b. PTO, dated October 21, 2018, indicated an order to transfer Resident 51 to the hospital for evaluation due to fall with head injury. c.

During an interview and a concurrent record review with the SSC on January 10, 2019, at 11:45 AM, the SSC stated she was the one responsible for notifying the ombudsman of resident transfers. The SSC verified the ombudsman was not notified of Resident 51's transfer to the hospital on October 6, 2018, October 21, 2018, and November 21, 2018. The SSC stated, "I don't notify the Ombudsman for emergency transfers. I did not know I had to do that." 3. A review of the clinical record for Resident 87 on January 9, 2019, at 3:05 PM, indicated a re-admission date of November 18, 2018 with diagnoses of Hyperkalemia (elevated potassium a chemical that is critical to the function of nerve and muscle cells in the blood) and acute kidney failure (kidneys are unable to filter waste products from the blood). The PTO dated December 31, 2018 indicated an order to send the resident to the ER. A review of the facility document titled, "Departmental Notes," dated December 31, 2018, indicated Resident 87 was transferred to the ER on December 31, 2018, at 8:10 AM. No notification to ombudsman was found in Resident 87's clinical record. During an interview with the Social Service Coordinator (SSC) on January 10, 2019, at 3:12 PM, the SSC stated, "I did not know I needed to notify the Ombudsman. No, it's [notification] not done."

(C) Discharge plans in the comprehensive care plan, as appropriate, in accordance with the requirements set forth in paragraph (c) of this section. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop comprehensive and individualized care plans for two of 14 sampled residents (Residents 48 and 48) when: 1. Resident 45 did not have a care plan for outside food kept at bedside; and 2. Resident 48 did not have a care plan for Limited Range of Motion. These failed practices had the potential for unmet care needs. Findings: 1. During a facility tour observation on January 8, 2019, at 9:03 AM, Resident 45 was in bed resting. The resident had boxes of cereals, cup of noodles, and cans of soda and juice by the bedside.

The MDS nurse stated Resident 45 had a care plan for resident's non-compliance. During an interview and clinical record review with the MDS nurse on January 9, 2019, at 2:17 PM, Resident 45's record indicated the resident was re-admitted to the facility on 10/15/18 for End Stage Renal Disease (kidney failure). The care plan for non-compliance, dated October 17, 2018, did not indicate the facility's intervention for Resident 45's noncompliance. The MDS nurse checked the care plan and verified the care plan for Resident 45's non-compliance was incomplete. The MDS stated, "We (the facility) presented the problems and goals, but no intervention was specified to address the non-compliance." The MDS nurse further stated, "We should have completed the care plan." The facility's undated policy and procedure titled, "Care Plans - Comprehensive," indicated, "Care plan interventions are designed after careful consideration of the relationship between the resident's problem areas and their causes. When possible, interventions address the underlying source(s) of the problem area (s), rather than addressing only symptoms or triggers..." 2.

These findings had the potential for Residents 15, 22, 43 to be at risk for accidents which can result in life-threatening injuries. Findings: During an observation of the facility environment, on January 8, 2019, at 2:40 PM, Resident 15, 22, and 43 were going outside the facility premises heading toward North [name of the street] Street and East [name of the street] Street. The three Residents (Resident 15, 22, and 43) were observed as follows: Resident 15 was sitting in a wheelchair and was wearing a pair of sunglasses. Resident 22 was ambulatory, with a left foot wound dressing, and was pushing the wheelchair of Resident 15. Resident 15 and 22 were on the sidewalk of North [name of the street] Street toward East [name of the street] Street.

Findings: During a Kitchen observation with the HS and the Dietary Supervisor (DS) on January 8, 2019, at 11:42 AM, the HC checked the temperature of a salad plate with bare hands. The HC removed the thermometer from the plate and a piece of ham was stuck on the tip of the thermometer. The HC used her index finger to slide the ham back on to the plate. The DS covered the plate and placed it in the refrigerator. During a tray line observation on January 8, 2019, at 12:07 PM, the HC took the salad from the refrigerator and placed it on Resident 72's tray. Resident 72's tray was then placed in the cart and was sent out to the dining room. During an interview with the HC and DS on January 8, 2019, at 12:15 PM, the DS and HC were asked if they served the same salad during temperature check. HC verified the salad placed in the cart was the same salad used during temperature check.
