§483.10(g)(12) The facility must comply with
the requirements specified in 42 CFR part 489,
subpart I (Advance Directives).
(i) These requirements include provisions to
inform and provide written information to all
adult residents concerning the right to accept or
refuse medical or surgical treatment and, at the
resident's option, formulate an advance
directive.
(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 interview and record review, the
facility failed to ensure written information on
advanced directive (AD, a legal document in
which a person specified what actions should
be taken for his/her health if he/she was no
longer able to make decisions for themselves)
was provided to the resident and/or resident's
representative for one of four residents

reviewed for AD (Resident 17).
This failure had the potential for Resident 17
and/or Resident 17's representative to not be
informed of Resident 17's right to refuse
medical or surgical treatment.
Findings:
On August 20, 2019, at 09:21 a.m., Resident
17's record was reviewed. Resident 17 was
admitted to the facility on September 20, 2016,
with diagnoses which included chronic
respiratory failure (inability to breathe) and
persistent vegetative state (coma).
The "Provider Orders for Life-Sustaining
Treatment (POLST- order form that
documented the patient's treatment wishes; not
an AD)," dated September 21, 2016, signed by
Resident 17's family member, was reviewed.
The POLST form indicated, "...Attempt
Resuscitation/ CPR (cardiopulmonary
resuscitation - manual chest compressions and
mouth-to-mouth breathing; this meant to
prolong a person's life by all medically effective
means)." Section D of the POLST form, which
included the discussion of AD with the resident
or the resident representative and if the
resident had an AD or not, was not completed.
There was no documented evidence a written
information on AD was provided to Resident 17
and/or Resident 17's representative.
On August 20, 2019, at 2:50 p.m., an interview
and concurrent review of Resident 17's records
were conducted with the Registered Nurse
Supervisor (RNS). The RNS stated there was
no documentation a written information on AD
was provided to Resident 17 and/or Resident
17's representative.

she received a change of shift report from the
night shift supervisor the FM of Resident 21
was upset with the NA who answered Resident
21's call light and told Resident 21, "Why are
you pushing the light, the bed control is on the
bedrail" (RN 3's shift started at 7 a.m.,
approximately four to five hours from the time
of the incident). RN 3 stated she did not have a
communication with Resident 21's FM about
the incident. RN 3 stated she did not report the
incident to anybody after she received the
report. RN 3 stated "I believe the abuse
allegation should be reported to your office
within 24 hours."
On August 21, 2019, Resident 21's record was
reviewed. Resident 21 was admitted to the
facility on August 2, 2019.
There was no documented evidence the
alleged incident between the NA and Resident
21 on August 18, 2019, was reported to CDPH.

Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure the plan of
care was developed, for one of 16 residents
reviewed (Resident 45), when Resident 45
sustained a fall on August 9, 2019.
This failure had the potential for facility staff to
be unaware of Resident 45's fall incident and
for delay of necessary care to prevent further
incidents of fall for Resident 45.
Findings:
On August 19, 2019, at 3:41 p.m., Resident 45
was observed lying in bed and watching TV. In
a concurrent interview, Resident 45 stated she
fell this morning. Resident 45 stated she had
fallen before while in the facility and was
unable to remember when it was.
On August 20, 2019, Resident 45's record was
reviewed. Resident 45 was admitted to the

care in accordance with professional standards
of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, for two of 16 residents reviewed
(Residents 197 and 29), the facility failed to
ensure:
1. Assessment, monitoring, care, and treatment
were provided for Resident 197's edema on
both lower extremities (legs and feet). This
failure had the potential to result in a delay of
care and treatment for Resident 197; and
2. Resident 29 was turned and repositioned
every two hours and the hand splints (device to
prevent contractures [joint stiffening] from
developing or worsening) were applied as
ordered by the physician. These failures had
the potential for Resident 29 to develop
pressure ulcer (a wound caused by pressure
and/or friction) and worsening of hand
contractures.
Findings:
1. On August 18, 2019, at 12:09 p.m., Resident
was observed lying in bed watching TV.
Resident 197 was observed to have her lower
extremities elevated on pillows. Resident 197
consented to have the blankets on her lower
extremities removed. Resident 197's lower
extremities were observed to be swollen from
the calf to the toes. In a concurrent interview,
Resident 197 stated her lower extremities were
swollen. Resident 197 stated she was not
aware of what care the facility was providing for
the swelling of her lower extremities.

was reviewed. Resident 197 was admitted to
the facility on August 9, 2019. The facility
document titled, "Cumulative Diagnosis List,"
dated August 9, 2019, indicated Resident 197
had diagnoses which included deep vein
thrombosis (blood clot) in the left knee.
The facility document titled, "RESIDENT DATA
COLLECTION...ADMISSION NOTES," dated
August 9, 2019, indicated Resident 197 had
edema on both lower extremities.
The facility document titled, "DAILY SKILLED

edema.
There was no documented evidence the
edema on Resident 197's lower extremities
was assessed and monitored.
On August 22, 2019, at 11:36 a.m., the
Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool)
Nurse (MDSN) was interviewed. The MDSN
stated a resident with edema may be at risk for
fluid overload (excessive fluid in the blood), and
breathing and skin issues. The MDSN stated
there was no documentation of an assessment
and monitoring of Resident 197's edema on
both lower extremities. The MDSN stated there
should have been a comprehensive
assessment of Resident 197's edema on both
lower extremities so the facility would be able
to monitor if Resident 197's swelling was
improving or worsening.

Nursing (ADON). Resident 197 was observed
to have non-pitting edema (swelling of the skin
that does not result in persistent indentation
when skin was pressed) from the calf to the
toes. During a concurrent interview with the
ADON, the ADON stated the licensed nurse
should not have missed Resident 197's edema
on both lower extremities because it ws very
apparent due to its visible appearance. The
ADON stated Resident 197's edema on both
lower extremities should have been assessed
and monitored. The facility policy and
procedure regarding edema assessment, care,
and management was requested from the
ADON.
On August 22, 2019, at 3:35 p.m., the ADON
was interviewed. The ADON stated the facility
did not have a policy regarding the
assessment, care, and management of edema.
2. On August 18, 2019, Resident 29's record
was reviewed. The record indicated Resident
29 was re-admitted to the facility on July 7,
2019, with diagnoses including sacral decubiti
(pressure sore/ injury- a wound by the tailbone
caused by pressure and/or friction), respiratory
failure (inability to breathe), and anoxic
encephalopathy (loss of brain function due to
lack of oxygen).
a. On August 18, 2019, at 11:40 a.m., Resident
29 was observed in her room in bed. Resident
29's hands were noted to be contracted in a
partial fist shape and bent towards her body.
Resident 29's hands were observed to not have
hand splints on.
On August 20, 2019, at 10:18 a.m., an
interview was conducted with Resident 29's
family member (FM). The FM stated he did not
think the facility staff was applying the hand
splints and "her hands are like fists now."

On August 21, 2019, at 3:30 p.m., an interview
and concurrent review of Resident 29's record
were conducted with the RNS. The RNS
stated the certified nurse assistants (CNA's)
were supposed to turn Resident 29 every two
hours on both day and night shifts every day.
The RNS stated there was no documentation
Resident 29 was turned every two hours on

Resident 29 was not turned every two hours, it
could contribute to the development or
worsening of pressure ulcers. The RNS
confirmed Resident 29 should have been
turned every two hours every day and there
should have been documentation indicating
that it was done.

for TF (Residents 27 and 198) when:
1. For Resident 27, the TF formula
administered was not labeled with the
resident's name, and the date and time the TF
formula bottle was opened and hung
(connecting the bottle to the tubing and
connecting the tubing to the resident's G tubea tube in the stomach for liquid nutrition).
This failure had the potential for the staff to not
be able to monitor the amount of infused TF
formula accurately and may cause
gastrointestinal (relating to the stomach and
intestines) distress or infection due to the
administration of tube feeding that was no

of Levemir, 25 units more than what should
have been administered).
On August 22, 2019, at 9:03 a.m., the
attending physician (AP) was interviewed
regarding the blood sugar of Resident 45. The
MD stated during his visit to the facility on
August 14, 2019 at around 5 p.m., LVN 1
notified him of Resident 45's blood sugar above
400 mg/dl. The AP stated he reviewed
Resident 45's blood sugar. The AP stated
Resident 45's blood sugars were uncontrolled.
The AP stated he wrote an order to increase
Levemir to 35 units, to add five units of insulin
Lispro to each sliding scale coverage, and to
fax Resident 45's blood sugar readings to him
every five days.
The AP stated he notified LVN 1 of the new
orders. The AP stated the Levemir 35 units
should have been given every day after he
ordered it on August 14, 2019 and thereafter to
Resident 45.
The AP stated five units of insulin Lispro should
have been added to each of the sliding scale
coverage after he ordered it on August 14,
2019 and thereafter to Resident 45.
The AP stated if the order for the Levemir and
the insulin Lispro were not clear, the licensed
nurse should have clarified with him.
The AP stated he was not aware a total of 60
units Levemir was administered to Resident 45
on August 14, 2019, at 6 p.m. The AP stated,
"That's why the blood glucose was around 76
on the labs drawn the following day." The AP
stated Resident 45 could have gone to
"hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)" because of
the additional 35 units of Levemir administered
to Resident 45 on August 14, 2019. The AP
