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, record review, interview and policy review, the facility failed to maintain Resident #94's dignity by not providing a urinary catheter drainage bag cover and Resident #41 for not providing preferred colostomy supplies. This affected two residents (Residents #94 and #41) of three residents reviewed. The facility census was 44. Findings include: 1. Observation of Resident #94 on 07/13/21 at 12:30 P.M. revealed the resident in her room, lying down in bed. The resident had two visitors at her bedside. Resident #94's urinary catheter drainage bag was attached to the bedside and approximately one-third full of urine. The urinary drainage bag was uncovered without a privacy bag. Observation of Resident #94 on 07/13/21 at 12:43 P.M. with certified nurse assistant (CNA) #484 revealed resident had a urinary catheter drainage bag that was not covered with a privacy bag. CNA #484 indicated she had only been working at the facility for two weeks and had not been taught about covering the urinary drainage bag. Review of Resident #94's medical record revealed an admission date of 07/16/11 with diagnoses including bladder dysfunction, diabetes, and anxiety. Review of the care plan dated 04/27/21 revealed the resident required assistance with activities of daily living (ADL) care related to muscle weakness, immobility, and fatigue. Interventions included, assist with oral care, provide set-up assistance to allow resident to participate in self-care as able, and observe for changes in ADL and adjust assistance as needed. Resident #94 had a potential for complications related to a Foley catheter (a sterile tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine). Interventions included change catheter as needed, notify physician of changes to urine color, consistency, and output, and provide catheter care per facility policy. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #94 had impaired cognition. The resident required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, toileting, and personal hygiene and was incontinent of bowel. Review of the progress note dated 07/10/21 revealed the resident was sent to an area hospital and had returned with a Foley catheter. Review of the physician orders dated 07/12/21 revealed change catheter, flush with 30 milliliters (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0550 of normal saline and provide catheter care as needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of facility policy titled Foley Catheter Care, revised 10/00, indicated to keep the urinary catheter drainage bag covered with a privacy bag at all times. Residents Affected - Few Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 07/13/21 at 12:45 P.M. confirmed Resident #94 did not have a privacy bag covering her urinary drainage bag. 2. Observation of Resident #41 on 07/13/21 at 8:50 A.M. revealed the resident seated on the side of her bed. Observation of the resident's colostomy bag revealed a plastic bag around the colostomy drainage bag. Resident #41 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, dementia, schizoaffective disorder, delusional disorder, and anxiety. Resident #41 had a colostomy. Review of the quarterly MDS 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #41 was cognitively intact and required only staff supervision for dressing and personal hygiene. She was independent for most other ADL. A care plan relative to Resident #41's potential for body image disturbance related to the colostomy was initiated on 03/31/21. Appropriate interventions and attainable goals were identified. During interview with Resident #41 on 07/13/21 at 8:51 A.M, the resident voiced concerns regarding the care of her colostomy. Resident #41 indicated the staff did not want to change her bag or clean her colostomy site and would say it smells and they could not do it. Resident #41 also indicated she had to wash out her used colostomy bags and reuse them because the facility would only provide her with a limited supply. Resident #41 stated her colostomy bag would leak all over her clothes and the odor would be very strong. Observation and interview with 07/14/21 at 8:48 A.M., Central Supply Staff #490 confirmed no supplies were available for Resident #41's colostomy. Central Supply staff placed an order to be delivered by 07/16/21. She confirmed the resident was washing them out. She had three left. She confirmed they did not have her style. During an interview on 07/14/21 at 9:50 A.M., Corporate Nurse #500 reported Resident #41 had two types of bags in her room and would have the appropriate style obtained from a sister facility and brought here as soon as possible. During observation and interview on 07/14/21 at 10:19 A.M., the DON showed this surveyor the central supply room and verified there were two types of colostomy bags available for Resident #41. The DON indicated Resident #41 preferred one type over the other and she had just given the resident a whole box that morning. The DON confirmed that Resident #41 focused a lot of her attention on her colostomy. The DON stated that the resident was fixated with her colostomy. The type of bags the resident was given were not the style she preferred.

F 0569 Notify each resident of certain balances and convey resident funds upon discharge, eviction, or death. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, review of resident funds and policy, the facility failed to notify each resident that receives Medicaid benefits when the amount in the account reached $200.00 less than the resource limit and failed to disperse funds within 30 days of a resident's death. This affected ten residents (Resident's #9, #11, #22, #23, #24, #25, #29, #30, #38 and #39) of 32 resident accounts managed by the facility and one (Resident #47) of two (Resident's #47 and #48) residents that expired. The facility census was 44. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: Review of the resident funds revealed ten residents (Resident's #9, #11, #22, #23, #24, #25, #29, #30, #38 and #39) of 32 accounts managed by the facility had a balance greater than $3,000.00. All these residents were Medicaid recipients. Review of the spend down notices revealed Resident #30 was sent a letter on [DATE] and Resident #22 was sent letters monthly since February 2021 indicating the failure to spend down monies could result in the loss of Medicaid benefits. Review of Resident #47's medical record revealed she was sent to the hospital on [DATE] and the facility stopped billing on that date. Review of the resident fund management services petty cash account report revealed $60.94 was sent to the Medicaid estate recovery act on [DATE]. Interview with Business Office Manager (BOM) #362 on [DATE] at 3:15 P.M. reported she was new to the position and with the stimulus checks she would send notices to residents who had $3,000.00 or greater a letter to indicate a spend down of funds was required to continue to receive Medicaid benefits. BOM #362 indicated Resident's #22 and #30 should have been receiving notices since [DATE] as their funds were greater than $3,000.00 at that time. BOM #362 also verified Resident #47's funds should have been sent to the Medicaid estate recovery act within 30 days. Review of the undated resident trust fund accounting and records policy and procedure indicated a resident's signature would be obtained upon receipt of funds, will give written notification to each resident who received Medicaid benefits and whose funds were managed by the provider when the amount reached $200.00 less than the resource limit. The account must be closed within 30 days of death and funds must be returned to the Estate Recovery for a Medicaid recipient.

F 0582 Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview, review of the medical record and review of beneficiary notices, the facility failed to inform residents/representatives orally and in writing of changes in services. This affected two residents (Resident's #23 and #27) of three residents (Resident's #23, #27 and #46) reviewed for Notices of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC). The facility census was 44. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: Review of the medical record revealed Resident #23 was discontinued from skilled therapy but would remain in the facility. There was no NOMNC or Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (SNFABN) provided to the resident/representative. Review of the NOMNC indicated Resident #27 was discontinued from skilled services on 06/03/21. The NOMNC did not have the provider contact information, the skilled service(s) the resident was cut from and lacked the Quality Improvement Organization name and toll-free number to appeal. Also, the signature portion of the form was signed by the administrator on 06/01/21 indicating he went over the cut via phone. There was no documented evidence this information was also provided in writing. The SNFABN dated 06/01/21 was also signed by the administrator indicating in the resident/representative signature section was written via phone. Again, there was no evidence the information was given to the resident/representative in writing.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, interview and policy review, the facility failed to ensure skin assessments and documentation accurately reflected the status of resident's non-pressure wounds and pressure wounds. This affected two (Resident's #8 and #42) of three (Resident's #8, #25 and #42) reviewed for pressure wounds. The facility census was 44. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Resident #42 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia with behavioral disturbance, hypertension, type two diabetes mellitus, moderate protein-calorie malnutrition, depression, and anxiety. A Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Ulcer Risk was conducted on [DATE] indicated Resident #42 was at low risk for skin impairment. Review of the progress note dated [DATE] indicated Resident #42 arrived at the facility with skin dry and intact. Review of the entry Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #42 was severely cognitively impaired with a BIMS (brief interview for mental status) score of three of 15. Resident #42 required the supervision of one staff for most activities of daily living (ADL) including bed mobility, transfers, toileting, and ambulation. Resident #42 had no skin impairment, was continent of bowel and occasionally incontinent of bladder due to stress incontinence. The MDS indicated Resident #42 was at high for the development of pressure ulcers/injuries. Review of the skin observation forms from [DATE], [DATE] and [DATE] indicated Resident #42's skin was intact without impairment. Review of the medical records revealed a care plan relative to Resident #42's potential for alteration in skin integrity related to incontinence, immobility, impaired cognition and diabetes was initiated on [DATE]. Individualized interventions and measurable goals were identified including to administer diet as ordered and record percentage of intake every meal, administer supplements as ordered, air mattress to bed, application of house barrier as ordered, encourage turn and reposition every two hours and as needed, inspect skin daily for reddened areas, pressure reducing mattress, Prevalon boots (heel protector), pericare with each incontinence episode and weekly skin assessments by licensed nursing staff. The goal of the care plan was for Resident #8 to be free of skin breakdown daily.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of a readmission skin grid pressure form dated [DATE] indicated a new area of skin impairment was identified on [DATE]. The form indicated the area was described as a stage III sacral pressure (full-thickness skin loss) wound measuring 2.0 centimeters (cm) in length by 2.0 cm in width by 0.2 cm in depth. There was an open area of the sacrum with a red base and a small amount of slough (dried inflammatory fluids that are moist, stringy, and yellow, tan, gray, green or brown). The periwound (area surrounding the wound) was intact. Treatment orders indicated to clean with normal saline and apply alginate (dressing used for heavily draining wounds) and a dry dressing. Residents Affected - Few Review of a second readmission skin grid pressure form dated [DATE] indicated an additional new area of skin impairment was identified on [DATE]. The form indicated the area was described as a deep tissue injury (DTI) right heel pressure wound measuring 1.5 cm in length by 2 cm in width by unable to determine (UTD) depth. A DTI is described as intact or non-intact skin with localized area of persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon, purple discoloration, or epidermal separation revealing a dark wound bed or blood-filled blister. There was discoloration to the heel with the periwound intact. Treatment orders indicated to paint with Betadine (topical germ-killing agent) and off-load heels. Review of the progress note dated [DATE] at 8:22 A.M. indicated Resident #42 observed with a sacral ulcer measuring 1.5 cm in length by 1.0 cm in width by 0.1 cm in depth. No drainage or odor was noted, and the wound bed was intact. The area was cleansed with normal saline and a bordered foam dressing was applied. Skin checks were completed, and a DTI was also noted on the resident's right heel. The wound physician was in the facility at the time and was notified. New treatment orders received including to clean the sacrum with normal saline, pat dry, apply calcium alginate and cover dressing daily, Prevalon boots to feet at all times, and off-load heels on a pillow. Review of the skin observation form dated [DATE] indicated Resident #42 had a new area of skin impairment noted. The skin impairment was identified as sacral and right heel. No description of wounds or measurements were provided. Review of the skin observation form dated [DATE] indicated Resident #42 had a new area of skin impairment noted. The skin impairment was identified as right buttock and left buttock skin tears. The right buttock skin tear measured approximately one inch in diameter. The left upper buttock skin tear measured approximately 2.0 inches by 2.0 inches. Both areas were cleansed, and cream was applied. The resident's physician and family were notified. Resident #42 experienced a significant decline in her condition and was placed on hospice after a hospitalization from [DATE] to [DATE]. An incomplete Significant Change MDS 3.0 assessment indicated Resident #42 remained severely cognitively impaired and required the extensive assistance of staff for ADL including bed mobility, transfers, and toileting. Information regarding bowel and bladder status and skin condition was still in progress. Review of a skin grid pressure form dated [DATE] indicated a sacral wound was present upon readmission and was not related to a LOA (leave of absence) or an emergency room visit. The now unstageable (full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is obscured by slough or eschar) sacral pressure ulcer measured 4.5 cm in length by 4.5 cm in width by UTD with brownish, necrotic tissue in the wound bed and a moderate amount of drainage.

F 0686 declined. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of a skin grid pressure form dated [DATE] indicated the right heel DTI was now being identified as being present upon readmission and was not related to an LOA (leave of absence) or an emergency room visit. The right heel was now being identified as a bluish/black blister without drainage. The wound measured 3.5 cm in length by 4.5 cm in width by UTD with brownish, necrotic tissue in the wound bed and a moderate amount of drainage. The form did not indicate whether the wound had improved, remained unchanged, or declined. Residents Affected - Few Further review of the progress notes indicated Resident #42 was transferred to the emergency room on [DATE] and admitted for dehydration. The Resident returned to the facility on [DATE] with the sacral wound measuring 5.0 cm in length by 4.0 cm in width and a right heel pressure area with heel soft to touch. No measurements or wound descriptions were provided in the medical record. Review of the undated facility policy titled Wound Treatment Management indicated treatments will be based on etiology of the wound and characteristics of the wound including pressure injury stage, size, volume and characteristics of exudate, presence of pain, presence of infection, condition of tissue wound bed, condition of periwound, location of the wound and goals and preferences of resident/representative. Wound treatments will be documented on the Treatment Administration Record and the effectiveness of treatments will be monitored through ongoing assessments of the wound. Considerations for needed modifications include a) lack of progress towards healing, b) changes in characteristics of the wound, and c) changes in the resident's goals and preferences, such as end-of-life or in accordance with his/her rights. During interview on [DATE] at 4:02 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the wound nurse inadvertently indicated the wounds were facility acquired and submitted an addendum to the initial report. The DON also confirmed that the facility skin assessments were incomplete and inconsistent regarding wound descriptions and measurements. 2. Resident #8 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia with behavioral disturbance, hypertension, neuromuscular bladder dysfunction, type two diabetes mellitus, and unstageable sacral pressure ulcer. Review of the MDS 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #8 was moderately cognitively impaired and required the extensive assistance of at least one staff for most ADL including bed mobility, transfers, and toileting and only supervision for eating. Resident #8 was occasionally incontinent of bladder and frequently incontinent of bowel. Resident #8 had no skin breakdown upon admission and was assessed to be at risk for developing pressure ulcers/injuries. A pressure reducing device was applied to the resident's bed upon admission to the facility. Review of the MDS 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #8's mental status had significantly declined, and she was severely cognitively impaired. Resident #8 was totally dependent on at least two staff for all ADL. Review of the medical records revealed a care plan relative to Resident #8's potential for impairment of skin integrity related to incontinence, diabetes, age and impaired cognition was initiated on [DATE]. Individualized interventions and measurable goals were identified including to administer diet as ordered and record percentage of intake every meal, administer supplements as ordered, air mattress to bed, application of house barrier as ordered, encourage turn and reposition every two hours and as needed, inspect skin daily for reddened areas, pressure reducing mattress, Prevalon boots, pericare with each incontinence episode and weekly skin assessments by licensed nursing staff.

The DON indicated staff was tested twice a week, and all staff were screened, and temperatures were taken upon their entrance to the facility to screen for possible infection. The DON indicated the staff person tested positive during routine testing on 05/21/21, was notified and sent home immediately. The DON indicated no other residents or staff tested positive during the period of 05/17/21 through 05/23/21. The DON stated the facility had no COVID-19 cases, and the area designated as the COVID-19 Unit was not in use. During a follow-up interview with the DON on 07/20/21 at 4:02 P.M., when asked about protocols in place to ensure that non-vaccinated residents returning from a leave of absence were not potentially exposing other residents to COVID-19, the DON indicated that residents are screened upon re-entry, but no other transmission-based precaution protocols are in place. The DON confirmed that Resident #10 does not regularly wear a face mask while in the facility, eats in a communal setting and smokes outside with other residents. The DON also confirmed that Resident #10 had refused the COVID-19 vaccination, was not regularly tested for COVID-19 and his last negative COVID-19 test was in June 2021. Updated Healthcare Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations in Response to COVID-19 Vaccination dated 04/27/21 via the Centers for Disease Control indicated for group activities: If unvaccinated patients/residents are present, then all participants in the group activity should wear source control and unvaccinated patients/residents should physically distance from others. For communal dining: If unvaccinated patients/residents are dining in a communal area (e.g., dining room) all patients/residents should use source control when not eating and unvaccinated patients/residents should continue to remain at least 6 feet from others. Patients/residents taking social excursions outside the facility should be educated about potential risks of public settings, particularly if they have not been fully vaccinated, and reminded to avoid crowds and poorly ventilated spaces. They should be encouraged and assisted with adherence to all recommended infection prevention and control measures, including source control, physical distancing, and hand hygiene.

(X4) ID PREFIX TAG SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0947 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Ensure nurse aides have the skills they need to care for residents, and give nurse aides education in dementia care and abuse prevention. Based on interview and review of personnel files, the facility failed to ensure State Tested Nurse Aides (STNA) received no less than 12 hours of in-service education to ensure continued competence per year. This affected three of three STNA's (#315, #417 and #461) with the potential to affect all 44 residents. Findings include: Review of personnel files for STNA's #315, #417 and #461 lacked in-service records. Review of in-services revealed no times to identify how many minutes/hours the in-service took to be able to calculate if the STNA's met the 12 hours required. Interview with Human Resource Director #444 on 07/20/21 at 2:00 P.M. verified the in-service records lacked indication of how long each in-service lasted. A spread sheet of in-services for 2021 was provided and one hour was given for each in-service. Further interview with the Human Resource Director #444 verified STNA #461 was not on the spread sheet at all.
