(ii) This includes a written description of the facility's policies to implement advance directives and applicable State law. (iii) Facilities are permitted to contract with other entities to furnish this information but are still legally responsible for ensuring that the requirements of this section are met. (iv) If an adult individual is incapacitated at the time of admission and is unable to receive information or articulate whether or not he or she has executed an advance directive, the facility may give advance directive information to the individual's resident representative in accordance with State Law. (v) The facility is not relieved of its obligation to provide this information to the individual once he or she is able to receive such information. Follow-up procedures must be in place to provide the information to the individual directly at the appropriate time. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents were provided written information to complete an advance directive (a written statement of a person's wishes regarding his/her medical treatment) for two of 22 sampled residents (Residents 236 and 60). This failure had the potential for Residents 236 and 60 to not make their wishes regarding their medical treatment known. Findings: 1. On June 27, 2018, the record of Resident 236 was reviewed.

During a concurrent interview, Resident 236 stated the facility did not provide her information about advance directives.

The SW stated Resident 236 should have been provided with information about advance directive. 2. On June 27, 2018, the record of Resident 60 was reviewed. Resident 60 was admitted to the facility on May 21, 2018, with diagnoses which included dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). The Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST), dated May 21, 2018, indicated, "...Patient Has Capacity...No Advance Directive..." There was no documented evidence the facility provided information about advance directive to Resident 60. On June 28, 2018, at 10:18 a.m., Resident 60 was interviewed.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on obsevation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to report an allegation of abuse to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) for one of one sampled resident (Resident 10) when Resident 10 alleged another resident (Resident 14) was abusive to him. This failure caused the allegation of abuse to not be investigated by CDPH and increased the potential to place the residents at risk for harm. Findings: On June 27, 2018, at 3:15 p.m., Resident 10 was observed in his room in a wheelchair. Resident 10 was observed to have a below the knee amputation (surgical removal of the lower limb) of his right leg, and a dressing wrapped around his left foot and ankle. In a concurrent interview, Resident 10 stated beginning in April 2018, there were four incidents in which Resident 14 was aggressive towards him. Resident 14 stated in one of the incidents, Resident 14 came to his room and blocked him from exiting the room. Resident 10 stated he told the Operations Manager (OM) about the incident.

They get stabbed." Resident 10 stated Resident 14 made him feel like he had to "look over his shoulder." When asked if anyone from the CDPH was out to see him about the incident and ask him questions, Resident 10 stated, "No." On June 28, 2018, Resident 10's record was reviewed. Resident 10 was admitted to the facility on March 15, 2018, with diagnoses including sepsis (infection in the blood), diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar), cellulitis (redness and swelling of the skin), abscess (swelling with an accumulation of pus) of tendon sheath (the membrane around the tendon) of the left ankle and foot, and osteomyelitis (infection of the bone). Resident 10's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool), dated June 24, 2018, indicated his "Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS - a cognitive assessment)" score was 15 (on a scale of 0-15, with 15 indicating Resident 10 was cognitively intact). On June 29, 2018, at 7:50 a.m., an interview was conducted with the OM. The OM confirmed Resident 10 alleged an incident of Resident 14 blocking his way. The OM confirmed another incident in which Resident 10 alleged Resident 14 said to him, "You know what they do to rats in prison? They shive them."
