Observation on 10/18/23 at 1:08 P.M. revealed Resident #68 lying in bed, hair uncombed, white flakes in hair, mustache hairs hanging over his top lip and mashed potatoes and gravy clumped on his mustache. Interview on 10/18/23 at 1:08 P.M. with Resident #68 confirmed he could feel the mustache hairs hanging over his top lip and he didn't know when it was last trimmed. He then proceeded to make a hand motion with his right pointer and middle fingers opening and closing like scissors moving from right to left across the front of his mustache stating he needs some one to trim it and then he said he was going to do it himself. Observation and interview on 10/23/23 at 12:15 P.M. revealed Resident #68 in bed with his mustache hanging over his top lip and small amount of white substance clumped left of center in his mustache. During this observation, Resident #68 stated he had not received a shower or washed today.

STNA #853 further confirmed Resident #68's mustache hairs were folding over his top lip into the mouth and the hairs were clumped together by a small amount of whitish substance. During the interview, STNA #853 stated it was not uncommon for Resident #68 to sit with food in his mustache after meals. At this time, Resident #68 stated he needed to shave and was going to trim his mustache. STNA #853 told Resident #68 staff would have to help him. Interview on 10/23/23 at 4:55 P.M. with STNA #892 confirmed she typically worked 3rd shift and has performed bed baths on Resident #68 but does not know when she last bathed him. When asked if Resident #68 prefers bed baths or showers, STNA #892 stated she gives him bed baths because it is probably easier when she is in a rush and realized around the end of her shift that he had not been bathed by the previous shift between 7:00 P.M. and 11:00 P.M. STNA #892 observed Resident #68 with surveyor at this time and verified his mustache had gotten long. STNA #892 then stated she had never shaved Resident #892 but thinks someone on another shift would need to shave him and provide mustache trimming and grooming since she typically worked third shift. Review of facility policy titled Daily Skin Care, effective 07/01/2016, stated it is policy that residents receive skin care daily. Further review of the policy revealed residents should be monitored for their ability to perform self-care and staff must assist or provide care as needed.

Interventions included ensuring hearing aids were in place, observing effectiveness of communication and hearing devices, and refer to audiology for consults as needed. Review of physician orders revealed no current or past orders related to Resident #24's hearing aids. Review of the audiologist visit report dated 03/01/23 revealed the provider was unable to test Resident #24's hearing aids due to bilaterally occluded ear canals. Further review of the report revealed the audiologist recommended cerumen management (CM, or the removal of earwax from the ear canal) and follow-up audiometric testing after CM had been completed per recommendation. According to this report, Resident #24's degree of hearing loss was unable to be determined secondary to occlusion of both ear canals. This report also contained recommendations to the attending medical doctor and/or nursing staff for Resident #24 to continue daily hearing aid use, to be seen post CM for further hearing aid testing, and to contact Michigan Ear Care to coordinate services. Review of social services progress notes for Resident #24 dated between 03/01/23 through 10/25/23 revealed no mention of arrangements or attempts to make follow-up appointments for Resident #24's CM management or re-evaluation of audiometric and hearing aid testing upon completion of cerumen removal. Interview on 10/16/23 at 12:05 P.M. with Resident #24 revealed he had had hearing aids for a few years but had only had one appointment since he had been a resident of the facility. Resident #24 added testing was unable to be completed at the time of that appointment because he needed to have his ears cleaned out first and the audiologist's office did not provide that service. Resident #24 further stated he had experienced hearing problems for a long time, he was unable to hear any better with his hearing aids now, and nobody had addressed his ears needing cleaned since that appointment, so he sees no point to wear his hearing aids. He stated he had tried cleaning the hearing aids himself and even took a woman's [NAME]-pin and tried to clean out his ears himself, but he still cannot hear well with his current hearing aids.

Interview on 10/19/23 at 10:39 A.M. with Social Services Designee (SSD) #802 confirmed she was responsible for making ancillary appointments for residents and was aware Resident #24 was unable to have his audiology appointment fully completed on 03/01/23 due to his blocked ear canals, resulting in a recommendation for referral to Michigan Ear Care for cleaning. Further interview with SSD #802 verified Michigan Ear Care will not come to the facility unless there are at least 30 residents with needs and the facility was not contracted with any other company that providing this service. No other arrangements had been made at this time. SSD #802 was unable to confirm whether the certified nurse practitioner (CNP), CNP #917, who visited the facility was made aware of the audiologist's recommendations made for Resident #24 during his appointment on 03/01/23.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure a thorough investigation to identify and analyze hazards and risk factors for falls was conducted regarding falls for Resident #15, #94 and #102. This affected three residents (Resident #15, #94, and #102) of five residents reviewed for falls. The facility census was 110.
Findings include: 1. Resident #15 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of dementia with anxiety, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, and macular degeneration of the left eye. Review of the quarterly comprehensive Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #15 was moderately cognitively impaired and had hallucinations and delusions. The resident was identified as having a fall with major injury. Review of the care plans for Resident #15 revealed the falls care plan was initiated on 08/28/23. The interventions implemented at that time included to assess fall risk on admission, ensure the resident was wearing appropriate non-skid footwear, ensure the bed locks were engaged, and place the call light in reach and remind the resident to call for assistance. Additional interventions were added on 09/01/23 to initiate neurological checks if a fall was unwitnessed or the resident hits their head and to observe for medication side effects. Review of the nursing progress notes for Resident #15 revealed on 09/10/23 at 6:00 A.M. the resident was found on the floor of her bathroom sitting on her bottom. The residents legs were in front of her and her arms were at her side and she was attempting to stand up. The resident said she had to urinate and it came on too fast. The floor was wet from urine and she slipped in it. Resident #15 denied hitting her head. Bruising was noted to the back of her left upper arm. The on-call physician was notified and had no new orders. At 7:50 A.M. the resident complained of pain in her left upper/mid back area and the nurse found the area was bruised. The physician was notified and STAT x-rays were ordered of the lumbar and thoracic spine and ribs. Tylenol was provided for pain. The x-ray results came back later that evening and Resident #15 had posterior lateral left ninth and tenth rib fractures. Review of the facility's related fall investigation for Resident #15 revealed State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #884 found the resident on the floor of her bathroom. The resident was wearing slippers at the time of the fall and not the non-skid footwear as care planned. The new interventions put in place were to complete a three day bowel and bladder tracker and to implement non-skid footwear. Review of the nursing documentation revealed no information regarding the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) review, what conclusion the IDT determined or if the interventions in place were successful, and the results of the three day bowel and bladder tracker were not reviewed. Interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #911 on 10/19/23 at 9:30 A.M. revealed she did not know where the information from the IDT regarding Resident #15's fall was and what permanent intervention was put in place to prevent further falls. RN #911 also did not know where the three day bowel and bladder tracking information was but thought it would be located in the STNA documentation. RN #911

Review of the facility's Fall Prevention and Management policy, last revised 06/01//22, revealed an investigation into each fall should be conducted. An intervention should be put in place after each fall. All interventions and notifications should be documented in the electronic health record. The care plan should be updated with the new interventions put in place. The IDT should review all information for all falls at the next Daily Clinical Meeting. The fall should be discussed, what the potential causes of the fall were, what interventions were put in place and if they are effective. A progress note should be documented in the electronic health record of the IDT discussion.

2. Review of the medical record for Resident #94 revealed an admission date of 09/19/22 with diagnoses including a displaced fracture of the left femur, Alzheimer's, dementia, type two diabetes mellitus, moderate protein calorie malnutrition, and hypertension. Review of the quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed Resident #94 had severely impaired cognition, required extensive assist by two staff members for all ADLs including bathing, eating, repositioning, and required assistance by two staff members and the use of a mechanical lift for all transfers. Review of the care plan dated 09/04/23 revealed Resident #94 was at risk for falls related to wandering, observed balanced problems, history of falling, and psychotropic medication use. Additional risk factors included diagnoses of Alzheimer's dementia with agitation, exit-seeking behaviors, incontinence, and use of antihypertensive medications. Interventions included anti-rollbacks to wheelchair, assess risk for falls on admission/readmission, quarterly and as needed, bed in lowest position, dycem to wheelchair cushion, encourage resident to be in a common area while awake, encourage to wear appropriate footwear, ensure bed locks are engaged, non-skid strips next to the bed, and observe for medication side effects that may increase the risk for falls. Review of a facility fall investigation report for Resident #94 revealed on 09/25/23 at approximately 8:00 P.M. the nurse on duty was called to residents room by an STNA. The resident was observed on the floor in his room near his wheelchair. The resident was lying on his left side and complaining of pain in his left hip. The roommate stated Resident #94 was in his wheelchair and stood up and fell down. The wheelchair was not locked, and the roommate was unsure if he hit his head. Neurological checks were initiated. The resident was not able to roll to his back without difficulty or assistance and was yelling out in pain. The resident was assisted into his bed on a blanket lift with staff assistance. The resident was unable to move his leg when asked to do so. The Nurse Practitioner (NP) was notified and gave an order to send the resident to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and the residents daughter were notified. Review of progress notes from 09/25/23 to 10/24/23 revealed there was no documentation to evidence the IDT met and had a discussion related to the residents fall and what interventions were put in place, and if they were effective. Interviews conducted on 10/24/23 from 4:01 P.M. to 4:20 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #800, LPN #843, LPN #846, LPN #851, STNA #859, STNA #868, STNA #882, STNA #890, the Administrator, the DON and the ADON revealed it would not have been appropriate to transfer Resident #94 off the floor post-fall if he was unable to roll on to his back and was complaining of back pain, and would not transfer any resident who was a mechanical lift off the floor after a fall with a blanket. They stated they would of tried to make the resident as comfortable as possible on the floor and call 911 for assistance to move the resident.

Review of the medical record for Resident #102 revealed an admission date of 04/14/23 and re-admission date of 08/06/23 with diagnoses including a wedge compression fracture of the second and fifth lumbar vertebrae, type two diabetes, vascular dementia, end-stage renal disease, dependence on renal dialysis, congestive heart failure, age-related physical debility, chronic pain syndrome, anxiety, depression, polyneuropathy, muscle weakness, age-related osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and convulsions. Review of the admission initial assessment, dated 04/15/23, revealed Resident #102 was not at risk for falls and required extensive assistance for activities of daily living (ADLs). Review of the care plan, dated 04/27/23, revealed Resident #102 was at risk for falls due to observed balance problems during transitions, history of falling in six months prior to admission, bowel and bladder incontinence, impaired mobility, opioid use, and pain. Interventions included bed against wall with mat to floor on open side of bed, bed in lowest position, bolsters to bed, non-skid footwear, adequate lighting, and call light within reach. Review of the progress note dated 07/09/23 at 7:19 A.M. indicated Resident #102 was seen at the bedside on the floor lying on her back. Resident #102 was assisted to bed via a mechanical (hoyer) lift and had been witnessed in bed by the nurse 10 minutes prior to the fall. All vital signs were normal, skin was normal for the resident and Resident #102 was moving all four extremities with good range of motion (ROM). Resident #102 did state to the nurse during the shift that she was trying to get up and was told by the nurse she was immobile. Resident #102 acted as if she was unaware of this. The responsible parties were notified and the medical doctor was made aware. The nurse would continue to monitor Resident #102. Review of the fall investigation provided by the facility for the fall incident on 07/09/23 revealed the fall investigation notes were time-stamped 10/24/23 from 10:54 A.M. to 11:03 A.M. and provided a conclusion statement entered by the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/24/23 at 11:03 A.M. The conclusion statement referencing the fall incident on 07/09/23 but dated 10/24/23 said Resident #102 was noted to be lying on her back on the floor. Resident #102 was asked what she had been attempting to do and Resident #102 stated she was trying to get up around 3:00 A.M. Resident #102 was noted to be wearing non skid slippers, the area was clean and dry, well lighted and clutter free. A head to toe assessment was completed with no visible signs of injury. ROM completed without difficulty. Vital signs were within normal limits. The call light was in reach, fully functional and not used by Resident #102. The incident was not witnessed. Neurological checks were initiated and at baseline with normally reactive pupils. The resident was assisted up to her bed by two staff members via mechanical lift. Resident #102's Brief Interview for Mental Status was 13 (cognitively intact). The resident was last seen awake in bed 10 minutes prior. The responsible party and medical doctor were notified. The bed was placed against the wall for positioning purposes with a mat next to the bed. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment, dated 08/15/23, revealed Resident #102

had intact cognition. Resident #102 required extensive assistance for ADLs, was not steady, and was only able to stabilize with staff assistance. Review of the facility's incident log from October 2022 through October 2023 indicated Resident #102 experienced one fall on 09/22/23. No other fall incidents were identified on the incident log for Resident #102. On 10/16/23 at 11:18 A.M., observation of Resident #102's room revealed the fall mat in the floor was positioned at a 45-degree angle from the bed. On 10/16/23 at 11:21 A.M., interview with LPN #804 verified Resident #102's fall mat was not positioned appropriately. On 10/16/23 at 11:22 A.M., interview with Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA) #918 stated Resident #102 had bolsters to mattress, bed low, and fall mat on floor because she would try to get herself up without assistance. He said the interventions were in place to try to prevent injury if a fall occurred. On 10/17/23 at 10:40 A.M., interview with Resident #102 stated she had fallen two or three times since she arrived at the facility. She did not like having the bolsters on her bed. On 10/23/23 at 10:48 A.M., observation of Resident #102's room revealed the bolster on the open side of her bed was hanging off the edge of the bed and touching on the floor. On 10/23/23 at 10:51 A.M., interview with STNA #829, who also served as transportation staff, confirmed Resident #102's bolster was not in the correct position on the bed. She stated Resident #102 had kicked the bolster off the bed. On 10/24/23 at 8:36 A.M., observation of Resident #102's room revealed the bolster on the open side of her bed was on the floor. Interview at the time of observation with STNA #868 verified the bolster was not in the appropriate position on the bed. On 10/24/23 at 10:15 A.M., interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #911 verified the facility's incident log did not include Resident #102's fall that occurred on 07/09/23. She also stated the nurse's notes and post-fall assessment contained all the information pertaining to the incident and no additional details would be included in a fall investigation. On 10/24/23 at 4:20 P.M., interview with the DON stated all information included in the fall investigation conclusion dated 10/24/23 was obtained from the nurses note and a post-fall evaluation. On 10/24/23 at 4:28 P.M., interview with the DON verified she could not locate the information included in her fall investigation conclusion anywhere in Resident #102's medical record of the fall that occured on 07/09/23. She then stated the information was obtained during an interview with the nurse who was working at the time of the fall (which contradicted her previous statement on 10/24/23 at 4:20 P.M. indicating the information was found in the nurse's note and post-fall assessment). The DON also confirmed the fall investigation contained no witness statement from the nurse and the DON could not provide any evidence or witness statement regarding her interview with the nurse. This deficiency represents non-compliance identified during the investigation of Complaint Number

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, observation, and interview the facility failed to ensure insulin was given per physician's orders. This affected one resident (Resident #362) of six residents reviewed for medication administration. The facility census was 110.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Medical record review for Resident #362 revealed an admission date of 10/05/23 with diagnoses including type two diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia and diabetic neuropathy, morbid obesity with alveolar hypoventilation, pulmonary hypertension, depression, and cerebrovascular disease. Review of Resident #362's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed she had moderately impaired cognition. She was independent with eating and personal hygiene and required set-up or clean-up assistance with bathing and dressing her lower body. Mobility devices included a wheelchair and a walker, and she required supervision with transfers. Review of physician orders for Resident #362 revealed an order dated 10/06/23 for five units of Humalog to be administered subcutaneously before meals for diabetes mellitus using a Humalog KwikPen 100 units/milliliter pen-injector. Observation on 10/19/23 at 12:00 P.M. of medication administration to Resident #362 by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #800 revealed LPN #800 did not prime the insulin needle by dialing and wasting two units prior to setting the dose in the insulin pen to the ordered five units. Interview on 10/19/23 at 12:04 PM with LPN #800 confirmed she did not prime Resident #362's insulin needle with two units prior to setting the ordered dose of five units on the Humalog pen per the manufacturer's direction and administering the medication. LPN #800 further confirmed she was unaware of the manufacturer's instructions to prime the needle with two units prior to Humalog administration. Review of manufacturer instructions titled Instructions for Use HUMALOG KwikPen insulin lispro injection (rDNA origin) directs the user to prime before each injection. Further review revealed failure to prime prior to administration may cause too little or too much insulin to be administered. Step five directs the user to turn the knob to two units after placing the needle on the pen. Step seven directs the user to push the dose knob until it stops on zero and a stream of insulin is seen coming from the needle prior to dialing the ordered insulin dose. Review of the facility policy titled Medication Administration revised on 04/20/17 revealed medications should be given as ordered and full attention should be maintained while preparing medications.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately locked, compartments for controlled drugs. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, observation, and interview the facility failed to ensure medications were stored and labeled in a manner that prevented the risk of residents receiving insulin that belonged to another resident. This affected one resident (Resident #362) of six residents reviewed for medication administration. The facility census was 110.
Findings include: Medical record review for Resident #362 revealed an admission date of 10/05/23 with diagnoses including type two diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia and diabetic neuropathy, morbid obesity with alveolar hypoventilation, pulmonary hypertension, depression, and cerebrovascular disease. Review of Resident #362's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed she had moderately impaired cognition. She was independent with eating and personal hygiene and required set-up or clean-up assistance with bathing and dressing her lower body. Mobility devices included a wheelchair and a walker, and she required supervision with transfers. Review of physician orders for Resident #362 revealed an order dated 10/06/23 for five units of Humalog to be administered subcutaneously before meals for diabetes mellitus using a Humalog KwikPen 100 units/milliliter (units/ml) pen-injector. Observation on 10/19/23 at 12:00 P.M. of medication administration to Resident #362 by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #800 revealed LPN #800 removed an insulin pen from a brown tinted plastic bag labeled with information including Resident #362's name, ordered drug (Humalog KwikPen 100 units/ml), and ordered dose and frequency (five units Humalog subcutaneously before meals for diabetes mellitus). Further observation revealed the insulin pen removed from the bag was labeled as insulin Lispro 100 units/ml for Resident # 46. Interview on 10/19/23 at 12:04 PM with LPN #800 confirmed the insulin Lispro for Resident #46 had been stored in the brown tinted plastic bag labeled with information for Resident #362. Review of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) patient information sheet for Humalog (revised 2023) provides instructions to check the insulin label each time insulin is administered to ensure it is correct. Review of the facility policy titled Medication Administration last revised on 04/20/17 revealed nurses must observe the five rights for medication administration (right resident, right time, right medicine, right dose, right method of administration). Further examination of the policy revealed staff must review labels multiple times and compare them to the medication administration record (MAR). The policy also states not to give a medication labeled for another resident. Review of pharmacy policy titled GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR MEDICATION STORAGE, effective 08/01/09, revealed Remedi dispenses medications in packaging or containers that meet legal requirements, all medications are to be kept stored in this packaging, and transfer of medications into other packaging or containers is not permitted, unless by a licensed pharmacist or as necessary if a resident goes on

Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service.
Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure dietary staff were competent to complete their duties. This had the potential to affect all 109 residents who received meals from the kitchen except one resident (Resident #98) who the facility identified as eating nothing by mouth. The census was 110.
Findings include: Review of the staff on-boarding packets for all dietary staff hired within the last six months revealed three staff (Cook #818, Dietary Aide #819, and State Tested Nurse Aide [STNA] #869) answered the on-boarding quiz questions incorrectly despite the correct answers being listed immediately following the questions. On 10/16/23 at 8:42 A.M., observation of the kitchen revealed food was stored on the floor in the walk-in refrigerator, walk-in freezer, and dry storage. On 10/16/23 at 8:58 A.M., interview with Dietary Aide #824 stated new staff did not get the appropriate training to know how to put away food items after they were delivered to the facility. On 10/18/23 at 11:20 A.M., observation of the lunch meal tray line revealed four residents (#6, #14, #73, and #105) did not have an entree listed on their meal tickets. [NAME] #820 put one serving of potatoes and one serving of peas on each of those four plates. Dietary Aide #824 checked the meal tickets, confirmed what was on the plate matched the meal ticket, and covered each of those four plates for service. At the time of the observation, interview with [NAME] #820 and Dietary Aide #824 both verified there was no main entree on the meal tickets for Residents #6, #14, #73, and #105, and confirmed that the trays would be served with just one serving of potatoes, one serving of peas, and no entree or protein. [NAME] #820 stated he only provided what was listed on the meal tickets and if there was no entree listed, then no entree was served on that tray. On 10/18/23 at 6:30 P.M., interview with Registered Dietitian (RD) #909 stated there was a lot of turnover with staff in the kitchen and there was no permanent dietary manager to ensure new staff received adequate training. She stated kitchen staff probably needed training on problem solving due to not recognizing an issue when some lunch tickets only included the potatoes and peas with no protein. She said staff were trained to read the tickets to ensure accuracy, but they should have recognized that something was wrong when there was no protein (main entree) on those trays.

Electronically submit to CMS complete and accurate direct care staffing information, based on payroll and other verifiable and auditable data. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of the Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) report, review of staffing schedules, review of the facility assessment and interview, the facility failed to ensure accurate PBJ reporting. This had the potential to affect all 110 residents residing in the facility.
Findings include: Review of the Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) staffing information for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2023 (01/01/23 to 03/31/23) revealed the facility had excessively low weekend staffing and a one-star staff rating. Review of the facility assessment dated [DATE] through 10/30/23 revealed the facility would provide six to nine direct care nurses per day and 20 to 28 nurse aides per day. Review of the facility schedules for February and March 2023 revealed the following dates had less than 20 aides working: 02/10/23, 02/18/23, 03/24/23 and 03/25/23. Review of the daily posted staffing information for 02/01/23 through 03/31/23 revealed the following dates had less than 20 aides working: 03/19/23, 03/24/23 and 03/26/23. The daily posted staffing information also revealed two Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN)'s working and one Registered Nurse (RN) working on 03/19/23 and five LPN's working on 03/26/23. Interview on 10/24/23 at 1:56 P.M. with the Administrator revealed the facility process for reporting staffing information had changed in the past year and that change may have led to inaccurate payroll reporting for fiscal year quarter two of 2023. The Administrator revealed staff who were no longer employed with the facility but had been employed with the facility during 01/01/23 to 03/31/23 did not show up on the schedules provided for review for February 2023 and March 2023. The Administrator said two separate systems were used to report PBJ information, which did not always have the same information leaving room for inaccurate reporting.
