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. Based upon record review, observation, staff interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to provide a dignified resident dining experience. This affected one (Resident #56) of 18 residents sampled. The census was 78. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #56 revealed an admission date of 01/09/20. Diagnoses included hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebrovascular disease, cerebral palsy, and Alzheimer's disease. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 02/05/20, revealed Resident #56 was cognitively impaired and required extensive assistance of one staff with eating. Observation on 02/18/20 at 12:47 P.M. revealed State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #30 fed Resident #56 his lunch meal in his room with the door open. Resident #56 was sitting up in bed, and STNA #30 was standing over resident while feeding him. Interview on 02/18/20 at 12:59 P.M. with STNA #30 confirmed she stood over Resident #56 for the entirety of the lunch meal while feeding resident. STNA #30 further confirmed she stood for the entire meal because it was her preference to do so. Review of facility policy titled Assistance with Meals, dated July 2017, revealed residents who cannot feed themselves will be fed with attention to dignity which included not standing over residents while assisting them with meals. 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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited. Based on record review, staff interview, and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to attempt gradual dose reduction (GDR) or document clinical contraindications to GDR for an antipsychotic medication, and failed to document behaviors necessitating the need for the use of an antipsychotic medication for one (Resident #5) of six residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. The census was 78. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #5 revealed an admission date of 05/12/18 with a diagnosis of vascular dementia with behavioral disturbance.

Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments dated 02/15/19, 05/21/19, 08/12/19, 11/06/19, and 02/05/20 revealed Resident #5 was cognitively impaired, had received an antipsychotic medication for seven days during the reference period, no dosage reduction of the antipsychotic had been attempted, and the physician had not documented a dosage reduction as clinically contraindicated. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident #5 for February 2019 through February 2020 revealed the resident received routine Seroquel twice a day during this time frame with no attempted dosage reduction. Further review of the MARs revealed they did not include tracking of resident behaviors or documentation of non-pharmacological interventions offered. Review of the care plan for Resident #5 dated 02/05/20 revealed resident was at risk for side effects related to antipsychotic medication use. Interventions included the following: monitor and record the occurrence of target behavior symptoms (agitation and resistance to care), consult with pharmacy and physician to consider dosage reduction when clinically appropriate at least once quarterly, discuss with resident, family and physician the ongoing need for the medication, monitor and record potential side effects related to medication including unsteady gait, tardive dyskinesia, extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) such as (shuffling gait, rigid muscles, shaking), frequent falls, refusal to eat, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, depression, suicidal ideations, social isolation, blurred vision, diarrhea, fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, weight loss, muscle cramps nausea, vomiting, review behavioral interventions and alternate therapies attempted and evaluate their effectiveness.
