This survey cited 36 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 and interview, the facility failed to ensure residents were dressed appropriately to maintain their dignity. This affected one (Resident #40) of four residents reviewed for dignity. The facility census was 45. Findings include: Review of Resident #40's medical record revealed an admission date of 04/30/18 with diagnoses including weakness, mild cognitive impairment, major depressive disorder anxiety and weakness. An annual minimum data set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated the resident had mild cognitive impairment and needed the extensive supervision of one person for dressing. Observation on 05/20/19 at 12:18 P.M. revealed Resident #40 seated on her bed. Resident #40 was wearing white socks that each had her initials largely written on each sock in black permanent marker. The initials were roughly two inches by two inches in size. Observation on 05/20/19 at 3:43 P.M. revealed Resident #40 seated next to two other residents. While she had shoes on at this time, the initials were still plainly visible to those passing by. Interview on 05/20/19 at 3:43 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified Resident #40's socks did not promote dignity. A follow-up interview on 05/22/19 at 12:53 P.M. with Medical Records/Social Services Staff #61 revealed if families did not label a resident's laundry then the facility was to write the resident's initials on the garment really small with black permanent marker.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation. interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident received appropriate pressure ulcer care to prevent the development of an avoidable Stage II pressure ulcer (characterized by partial-thickness skin loss into but no deeper than the dermis) from a pressure relieving cushion on his adaptive wheelchair. This affected one (Resident #29) of two residents observed with a pressure ulcer. The facility census was 45. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident #29's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of insomnia, transient ischemic attack and cerebral infarction without residual deficits, disorientation, type II diabetes, depression, dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere without behavioral disturbance, and anxiety.

Review of Resident #29 weekly skin assessment dated [DATE] to 05/20/19 revealed no pressure or non-pressure area with the resident's skin intact. Review of Resident #29's nursing notes from 05/01/19 to 05/23/19 revealed no evidence of nurses documented the resident had an open area to his right buttock. Nursing notes did not document any monitoring to the open area to the right buttocks except for the weekly skin grids which indicated no pressure or non-pressure open areas. Review of Resident #29's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 03/01/19 to 05/23/19 revealed documentation that zinc oxide was applied to buttocks twice a day until healed. The MAR nor physician order sheet reflected any change in treatment to the open area to the right buttock except for the zinc oxide nor had the pressure adjusting cushion been tested as indicated on the resident's plan of care. Review of Resident #29's plan of care dated 03/10/19 revealed the following notations with two different residents as being assessed with the same potential for pressure ulcers. First Notation documented Resident #29 had the potential for pressure ulcer development.

The electronic plan of care addressed the potential for Resident #29 be then indicated interventions were developed for the unknown resident. Interventions for the unknown resident indicated the unknown resident and not Resident #29 will have intact skin, free of redness, blisters or discoloration. An additional intervention which matched Resident #29 medical condition indicated staff were to ensure the pressure adjusting cushion in chair when up. Nurse to do complete skin assessment at least weekly. Staff to inspect skin daily when giving care. Test pressure adjusting cushion weekly Resident #29 did not have a plan of care for any type of open area.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 05/22/19 12;10 P.M. observation of Resident #29's incontinence care and mechanical transfer with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #29 and STNA #54 revealed Resident #29 had a Stage II pressure ulcer on his right buttock. STNA #29 identified the area as a Stage II pressure area caused by the cushion on the resident's wheelchair. The right buttock open area was circular in nature and had a small light brown crusted area in the middle with open area surrounding the crust. No drainage or odors was noted to the area. The area did not have the appearance of a skin tear, rash or excoriation. The open area was left uncovered and STNA #54 placed barrier cream over the area, placed a new brief and pulled the residents shorts up over the area. No dressing was placed on the area as a protective cover. Resident #29 was a two-person mechanical lift from his bed to a recliner chair without incident. Resident #29 refused to be transferred to the wheelchair the cushion caused pain and kept the open area on his buttock open. Interview with STNA #29 and STNA #54 on 05/22/19 at 12:15 P.M. revealed the area had healed but would open back up. The area had been open for a couple of weeks and the area may have been caused by the cushion on the wheelchair. STNA #29 and STNA # 54 stated the nurse was aware of the area they were told to continue the barrier cream. STNA #29 and STNA #54 stated both the resident and the family member stated the open area was caused by the cushion. STNA #29 and STNA #54 stated they were not sure if the nurses observed the area. STNA #29 and STNA #54 stated Resident #29 would not get up into his custom chair because the cushion was too hard for his to sit comfortably on it. Nether STNA #29 of STNA #54 knew the resident who was listed on Resident #29 plan of care as also having the potential for a pressure ulcer. Interview with Resident #29's family member on 05/22/19 at 12:30 P.M. revealed the resident had the open area for at least two weeks and could not use his adaptive wheelchair because the chair did not fit the resident properly. The family member stated the cushion on the chair caused the open area on his buttock and when seated on the cushion the area remains open. The family member stated the resident had to use the recliner chair because it would cause pain and keep the area open. The family member stated physical therapy staff were here on Monday to look at the chair because the custom seat was the cause of his discomfort while resident was seated in the chair. This area opens, then heals, then re-opens because of the pressure of the wheelchair. The family member was concerned because staff were only putting a barrier cream in the area and not putting a dressing on top of it to protect the area. The family member felt the area had decline and became larger because the resident was seated in the wheelchair he could not get the pressure off the area. The family member was adamant the pressure adjusting cushion caused the area about two weeks ago and the pressure needed to be adjusted in the cushion. Therapy looked at the chair on Monday and still as of today nothing had been done to reduce the pressure to allow Resident #29 to get up his custom wheelchair. On 05/23/19 at 9:20 A.M. a second observation of Resident #29's right buttock was conducted with the Director of Nursing and Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) # 75. The observation revealed a Stage II pressure ulcer, circular in nature and without jagged edges. The ulcer had been cleaned and was without the crusted area in the middle of the surrounding open area. No measurements were taken by the DON. Interview with Resident #29 with the DON and PTA #75 present on 05//23/19 at 9:25 A.M. revealed the resident stated again he had the open area for two weeks. Resident #29 stated the area was caused by his adaptive wheelchair, the cushion was too hard and hurt his buttocks. Resident #29 told the DON and PTA #75 the pressure in the ROHO cushion caused the open area and could not tolerate it and the cushion caused the area to become larger.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few sit in his recliner because that does not cause pain to the area. Further interview with PTA #75 revealed he would have the cushion assessed and since it was a pressure cushion he would release some of the air in the cushion to reduce the pressure to the resident's buttocks. Interview with the Director of Nursing on 05/23/19 at 9:40 A.M. revealed she would contact the wound doctor and see if the resident would be assessed by the wound doctor to determine the type and care of the wound. The DON verified the resident did not have a plan of care for the wound. The DON verified it was undetermined if the open area improved or declined because she was unaware of the open area to Resident #29 right buttock. Review of the facility's policy and procedure Skin Care and Wound Prevention dated April 2008, revealed: Facility staff strive to prevent resident skin impairment and to promote the healing of existing wounds. The interdisciplinary team works with the resident and family to identify and implement interventions to prevent and tract skin impairment.

This affected two of three residents reviewed for accidents. The facility census was 45. Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #17's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including diabetes type II, hypertension, anemia, gout, chronic kidney disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), history of cerebral vascular accident (CVA), and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Resident #17 was transported to dialysis three times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday by the facility's transport van. Review of Resident #17's plan of care dated 08/16/18 revealed the resident had limited physical mobility. Interventions included an electric wheelchair for mobility in the community. Provide gentle range of motion as tolerated with daily care. Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy referrals as ordered when necessary. Review of Resident #17's quarterly Minimum Data Set 3.0 (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was an extensive assist of two persons for bed mobility and dressing. Resident #17 required total dependence of two persons for transfers and toilet use and an extensive assist of one person for personal hygiene. Review of Resident #17's nursing notes dated 04/03/19 at 12:30 P.M. revealed a nurse was called to the facility transport van. The driver said the resident had slid down in his wheelchair and assistance was needed. On arrival the nurse found Resident #17 had slid down so far in his chair that his seatbelt was up underneath his arm pits. The chair was fully locked in. His legs were resting on the floor of the bus not on the footrests. When the resident was asked what happened, he said his butt hurt so I slid down off of it. The driver said they were only a short distance away from the facility on the way back from his dialysis appointment. Resident #17 was repositioned back up onto his chair by five staff and three gait belts, then taken in the building to his room. Once in bed via the mechanical lift, the nurse assessed for injuries and noted a 2.5 centimeter (cm) by 0.5 cm skin tear to the right lateral lower extremity. Vital signs were taken and were within normal limits. The doctor was notified and orders were obtained for treatment to the skin tear. The resident's spouse was notified as was the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) The nurse's note indicated Resient #17 said this would not have happened if she (the driver) would not slam on the brakes when she drives An interview conducted with Resident #17 on 05/21/19 at 1:10 P.M. and 05/24/19 at 10:30 P.M. revealed the resident's own power wheelchair was too big to fit into the facility's 20 passenger transport van. Resident #17 stated on days he was transported to the dialysis center by the facility, he was placed in a smaller blue tilt in space wheelchair which was too small for his body and his feet did not fit on the wheelchair footrests. Resident #17 stated because he was too tall, the wheelchair back was tilted back to allow him to fit in the spot for the wheelchair to be hooked to the floor. Resident #17 stated this caused the shoulder seatbelt to be loose. Resident #17 stated he was on his way back from dialysis to the facility and was trying to adjust his position on the wheelchair.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Resident #17 stated the blue tilt in space wheelchair was a smaller wheelchair than his power wheelchair and the seat caused pain on his excoriated buttocks. Resident #17 stated on the day the incident occurred, he attempted to change his seating position and the van driver slammed on the brakes which caused him to slide under the shoulder seatbelt. Resident #17 stated the shoulder seatbelt was loose, he slid under it and he stopped sliding when the seal belt became wedged under his arms pits and across his chest. Resident #17 stated he did not experience any respiratory distress but could not get himself free because he was hanging out the bottom of the wheelchair. Resident #17 stated the van driver drove to the facility and went into the facility to get help. Resident #17 stated it took five people to get him loose from the seatbelt and take him into the facility. Resident #17 stated the incident happened not too far from the facility and the van driver finished driving to the facility and obtained help. Resident #17 stated his chest and underarms were sore and he received a skin tear on his right lower leg. Resident #17 was adamant he was adjusting his position and did not slid down under the seatbelt on purpose. Resident #17 stated this was not the first time the van driver slammed on the brakes. Resident #17 stated the van driver had a habit of hitting the brakes hard and slamming the brakes on when she was driving the van. Resident #17 stated if the van driver had not slammed on the brakes this would not have happened. Interview with the Director of Nursing on 05/21/19 at 5:20 P.M. revealed Resident #17 was involved in an incident resulting in the resident becoming entrapped under the shoulder seat belt when the van driver slammed on the brakes. This caused the resident to slide under the shoulder seat belt up to his chest and under both arm pits entrapping the resident in the wheelchair. The DON stated when interviewing the van driver, a reason was not provided by the van driver as to why she slammed on the brakes. The DON verified the resident was too big for the facility's blue tilt in space transport chair. The DON verified through her investigation, the van driver had slammed on the brakes with other residents during transport. The DON verified the van driver was terminated from the facility due to this incident and two new van drivers now complete the transfers to appointments and dialysis. The DON verified Resident #17 had not been provided a wheelchair of proper size and the two new van drivers had not been in serviced on how to properly transport Resident #17. The DON further verified as of 05/24/19, Resident #17 continued to use the same blue tilt in space wheelchair for transport. Interview with Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA )#72 on 05/24/19 at 9:20 A.M. revealed on 04/03/19 (time unknown) she received a call to come to the transport van. COTA #72 stated she went to the van which was parked at the facility and discovered Resident #17 had slid out of the blue tilt in space wheelchair and was entrapped with the shoulder seatbelt around his chest and under both arm pits. COTA #72 stated because of his size, height of six feet seven inches and weight of 231 pounds, it took five staff to physically lift him to prevent further entrapment and injury. COTA #72 stated one person was pulling him up in the wheelchair by his shoulders to relieve pressure on his chest and underarms and four staff were using three gait belts on his legs and chest to lift the resident back in the chair. COTA #72 stated it was all five people could do was to lift him back in the chair and release the shoulder seatbelt. COTA #72 verified Resident #17's personal power wheelchair was too big for the facility van to transport the resident to the dialysis center. COTA #72 verified Resident #17 was transported in the smaller blue tilt in space wheelchair which does not fit him properly. COTA #72 stated because of his height, the blue title in space backrest had to be titled back to allow the wheelchair to fit into the van. This may have caused the shoulder seatbelt to be loose which allowed the resident to slide underneath it when the van driver slammed on the brakes.

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 ensure a resident with a known history of small bowel obstruction, received appropriate bowel care. This resulted in actual harm when Resident #38 experienced severe abdominal pain, loose stools, nausea and vomiting with abdominal distention on 09/26/18, 02/03/19 and 03/17/19, resulting in hospitalizations with nasogastric suctioning and resolution of the small bowel obstruction. This affected one of three residents sampled for bowel continence. The facility census was 45. Findings include: Review of Resident #38's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of dysphagia, urinary tract infections, abnormal posture, muscle weakness and Parkinson's Disease. Review of Resident #38's significant change of condition Minimum Data Set 3.0 (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident required an extensive assist of one person for bed mobility, transfers and toilet use. The MDS assessments dated 01/04/19, 02/03/19 and 03/17/19 documented the resident was not on a bowel program and was frequently incontinent of stool. Review of Resident #38's medical record revealed the resident did not have a plan of care for bowel incontinence or a care plan to monitor the resident for signs and symptoms of a bowel obstruction. Review of Resident #38's nursing notes dated 09/25/18 at 10:00 P.M. revealed a call was placed to the physician informing the physician the resident had a large liquid emesis and continued to feel bad. The physician said to send resident to hospital for evaluation and treatment, due to abdominal distention, guarding left side, and vomiting. A call was placed to the local police department for 911 to transport the resident to the emergency department, an order was faxed to the primary care associate, spouse was made aware of transport as she was at the facility with resident. A call was placed to the hospital and spoke with the nurse, gave report on resident's condition, and that he was being sent to them. Resident #38 was admitted to the hospital on [DATE] for a small bowel obstruction. Review of Resident #38's hospital discharge record dated 09/26/18 revealed the resident was admitted with severe abdominal pain, abdominal distention and diagnosed with a small bowel obstruction Review of Resident #38 nursing notes dated 02/03/19 at 1:15 P.M. revealed the resident was having loose stools and complained of severe abdominal pain. His abdomen was very distended with hypoactive bowel sounds. Vital signs were obtained.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Nursing notes dated 03/29/19 at 5:20 P.M. revealed a late entry documenting the resident was readmitted from the hospital at 5:20 P.M. via squad on a cart, accompanied only by the two squad personnel. Review of Resident #38's bowel tracking record from 01/01/19 to 05/23/19 revealed some dates had been changed on some of the tracking forms, other dates had been scribbled and state tested nursing assistant's (STNA) documentation at the time of review was difficult to decipher. Interview with STNA #29 on 05/23/19 at 4:00 P.M. revealed STNAs are to document daily on the incontinence tracking form if the resident were incontinent of urine and stool. STNA #29 stated staff were to report any changes in the resident's condition, especially urine, if confusion, color change or odor. STNA # 29 stated as for documenting bowel movements, they mark if it is small, medium, large or loose. STNA #29 stated the bowel movements and urinary incontinency tracking are marked two times a day, once on day shift and once on night shift. STNA #29 stated aides worked 12-hour shifts. STNA #29 was not sure of the accuracy of the tracking because of the difference of opinions for the size and shape of the bowel movement. STNA #29 stated Resident #38 required help to transfer from the wheelchair to the toilet. Other times he was independent and would go to the toilet on his own and not tell staff if he had a bowel movement. STNA #29 stated she had not been educated on what to report to the nurse regarding how to monitor the resident for signs and symptoms of constipation or a bowel obstruction. Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 05/23/19 at 4:45 P.M. revealed there was no documentation from the March 2019 hospital visit that documented when or why Resident #38 was transferred from the facility to the hospital. The DON verified the resident was sent to the hospital for a small bowel obstruction. The DON revealed the facility had a policy and procedure for Bowel and Bladder Assessment to identify individuals with reversible causes of incontinence and to institute the appropriate interventions to meet the resident's needs. The DON stated the facility had no written bowel protocol in place. Nurses were to monitor resident's bowel movements. If no bowel movement after three days, the resident was administered milk of magnesia. It not effective, the resident would be administered a suppository, if no results the resident was administered an enema. If no results from the enema, the physician was notified for further instructions. The DON verified the facility did not have standing orders to ensure this unwritten protocol was initiated. The DON verified as of 05/23/19 at 5:20 P.M. Resident #38 did not have a plan of care in place for monitoring bowel movements to prevent bowel obstruction.

Interview on 05/22/19 at 2:10 P.M. with RD #69, Corporate Director of Nursing (CDON) #70 and the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed RD #69 visited the facility once a month for clinical duties and the facility had DTR #67 at the facility weekly to assist her work. RD #69 admitted she did not oversee DTR #67's work at the facility and focused on completing MDS assessments and talking to residents at high nutritional risk, which she defined as residents with tube-feedings, total parenteral nutrition (TPN), wounds and hemodialysis. RD #69 described her workload as census-dependent and she was only allowed a certain amount of hours on site per her contract. When asked if she had seen Resident #10 or communicated with the dietitian at dialysis, RD #69 verified she had not and stated she would look at renal dialysis labs at the next MDS assessment for that resident. RD #69 had no additional knowledge to share regarding Resident #10's nutritional status. Phone interview on 05/22/19 at 2:59 P.M. with DTR #67 confirmed he did not monitor Resident #10's nutritional labs and he was not aware of Resident #10 having a fluid restriction. Interview on 05/22/19 at 3:02 P.M. with the DON verified the facility's expectation was that the Registered Dietitian would monitor labwork and collaborate with dialysis regarding any changes needed to the plan of care.
