Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of resident fund accounts and spend down letters and interview the facility failed to notify
Residents #2, #33 and #41, who received Medicaid benefits, when the amount in the account reached
$200.00 less than the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) limit of $2,000.00. This affected three of four
residents reviewed for management of personal funds accounts. The facility census was 45.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Review of resident accounts revealed the facility managed personal accounts for Residents #2, #33 and
#41, and all three received Medicaid benefits.
Review of spend down letters dated 10/28/21 for Residents #2, #33 and #41 revealed they were notified
their accounts were close to the $2,000.00 Medicaid eligibility limit and each residents' account exceeded
the SSI limit at that time. Resident #2's letter indicated she had $3,210.27, Resident #33's letter indicated
she had $3,521.15 and Resident #41's letter indicated he had #9,375.51 in their respective accounts. Their
letters indicated if their assets reached or exceeded the $2,000.00 limit they would lose their Medicaid
eligibility.
Review of the current balances and quarterly statements for 2022 revealed Resident #2 had $3,922.75,
Resident #33 had $4,000.96 and Resident #41 had $8,958.21 in their personal funds accounts.
On 05/05/22 at 11:30 A.M. Human Resource Director #515 verified Residents #2, #33 and #41's accounts
exceeded the SSI resource limit and the facility was working with a lawyer to develop trust accounts.
On 05/05/21 at 11:35 A.M. the Administrator verified there were no other notifications sent to Residents #2,
#33 or #41 or to their responsible parties of the need to spend down or risk losing Medicaid eligibility.

actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 3. Resident
#41 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Parkinson's disease, dysphagia,
Crohn's disease, Asperger's syndrome, major recurrent depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, heart failure
and chronic kidney disease.
Review of the annual comprehensive assessment MDS 3.0 dated 03/31/22 indicated he was alert, oriented
and independent in daily decision making ability. He displayed no behaviors including rejection of care.
Resident #41 required the total dependence on two plus staff for toilet use and personal hygiene. He was
always incontinent of bowel and bladder. He had physical impairment of one side of the upper and lower
extremities.
Review of the care plan lacked a plan for incontinence or refusal of care.
Interview and observation of Resident #41 on 05/03/22 at 07:35 A.M. revealed he was not wearing a hand
splint because his right palm hurt. He opened his hand as much as he could and it was red inside. He
reported the brace for his leg was screwed up and did not fit, so he was not going to wear it either.
On 05/03/22 at 02:00 P.M. Resident #41 was observed sitting in his wheelchair in the hallway. It appeared
his incontinent brief was bulging due to being severely saturated and his clothing was noticeably wet beside
his abdomen and thigh. Incontinence care was observed after the wetness was identified. The resident was
found to be wearing four saturated incontinence briefs that had leaked out the sides causing his clothing to
be wet.
Interview with Director of Therapy #517 on 05/04/22 at 8:02 A.M. revealed Resident #41 had a custom
wheelchair with a leg rest and cushion. He would tell staff when did not want to use the leg rest. An orthotic
specialist talked with him the other day about wearing the orthotic but he still refused. She reported the
hand splint was to be worn as tolerated but the resident would ask for it to be off at times.
Interview with the assessment nurse LPN #504 on 05/03/22 at 3:00 P.M. revealed she had recently added
to the aide folder that residents were to wear one brief when out of bed and no brief when in bed. She
verified Resident #41's care plan did not address urinary incontinence or refusal of care. She was unaware
he was using four briefs. She reported she would order size 3 X briefs for the resident.
LPN #504 reported on 05/05/22 at 9:00 A.M. the resident preferred to wear four incontinence briefs. Two on
him and two folded on top of his peri area. There was no evidence root cause for the use of four briefs was
identified.
Based on record review and interview the facility failed to ensure Resident #23, Resident #29 and Resident
#41 were comprehensively assessed and care plans were developed regarding health conditions,
psychotropic medication use and activities of daily living. This affected three (Residents #23, #29 and #41)
of 19 residents whose care plans were reviewed. The facility census was 44.

Residents Affected - Some
1. Review of the medical record for Resident #23 revealed an admission date of 03/03/22 with diagnoses
including anemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma hypertension, arthritis and corneal transplant.
Review of the comprehensive Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 13 indicating Resident #23 was cognitively intact. She required
extensive assistance in the areas of turning and repositioning in bed, moving between surfaces such as
from a bed to a chair, dressing, and toilet use and was totally dependent on staff to move about her room
and throughout the facility. She was always incontinent of bowel and bladder and experienced occasional
pain over five days during the review period. She rated her pain at a four out of ten and had limited activity
as a result. She was at risk for pressure ulcers, had one unstageable deep tissue injury (a purple or maroon
localized area of discolored intact skin or blood-filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue due to
pressure and/or shear) and received two days of injections and two days of anticoagulants of the seven
days. Resident #23 received speech, physical and occupational therapy. The MDS assessment revealed
communication, rehabilitation potential, urinary continence, falls, nutritional status, pressure ulcers and pain
as triggered care areas to be addressed in the resident's care plan.
Review of Resident #23's care plan dated 03/10/22 revealed the resident had a care plan to address short
term rehabilitation, a discharge plan to return to the community, advanced directives, nutrition issues
related to a fractured hip, decreased intake at meals, weight loss, eating slowly, dehydration and needs for
healing. The care plan did not address all the care areas triggered in the MDS assessment such as
communication, rehabilitation potential, urinary incontinence, pressure ulcers, falls or pain.
2. Review of the record for Resident #29 revealed an admission date of 02/21/22 with diagnoses of
dysphasia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), fibromyalgia, generalized anxiety disorder, type
two diabetes, emphysema, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder and hyperlipidemia.
Review of the MDS for Resident #29 dated 04/19/22 revealed a BIMS score of 15 indicating she was
cognitively intact. She required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers between surfaces, moving
throughout different areas of the facility, dressing, and personal hygiene. She was totally dependent on staff
for toilet use, was occasionally incontinent of urine and always incontinent of bowel. She received
antipsychotics, antianxiety and antidepressant medications seven of seven days for the review period and
received oxygen, speech, occupational and physical therapy. The MDS assessment revealed rehabilitation
potential, urinary incontinence, psycho-social well being, mood, activities, falls nutritional status, pressure
ulcers and psychotropic drug use as triggered care areas to be addressed in the resident's care plan.
Resident #29's care plan dated 02/24/22 revealed it addressed discharge planning, advanced directives,
diabetes COPD, meal intake, food allergies, weight loss and dysphasia. The care plan did not address all
the care areas triggered in the MDS assessment such as rehabilitation potential, urinary incontinence,
psycho-social well being, mood, activities, falls, pressure ulcers and psychotropic drug use.
On 05/04/22 at 1:01 P.M. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #504 confirmed the care plans for Resident #23
and #29 did not identify and address all triggered care areas.

Based on observation, interview, facility policy review, review of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
Considerations for Preventing Spread of COVID-19, and review of the CDC COVID Tracker website the
facility failed to maintain proper infection control procedures to prevent the potential spread of infection
including proper COVID screening, use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and hand hygiene
practices. This had the potential to affect all 45 residents currently residing in the facility.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. Observation on 05/02/22 at 7:35 A.M. revealed the front reception area did not have have a COVID
screening questionnaire, thermometer for obtaining temperatures, or a sign in log. Interview with Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN) #504 revealed nothing was required prior to entry. A second interview with LPN #504
at 7:55 A.M. revealed a COVID questionnaire should be completed prior to entry into the facility.
Observation revealed LPN #504 had a questionnaire that consisted of international travel, exposure,
symptoms, cough or shortness of breath within the last 14 days and a recent COVID infection within 10
days. LPN #504 also obtained temperatures to record on the questionnaire logs. LPN #504 stated all
individuals who entered should answer the questionnaire as well as obtain a temperature prior to entering.
Interview on 05/02/22 at 7:57 A.M. with State Tested Nursing Assistants (STNA) #500 and #501 revealed
they had not screened themselves prior to entering the facility. Interview at 8:09 A.M. with STNA #503
revealed she had not screened herself in prior to working on the floor, and further stated she had not been
made aware she was required to screen prior to beginning her shift.
Observation on 05/03/22 at 6:50 A.M. revealed a COVID screening log at the front desk with three
unreadable names and no recorded temperatures. Interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #505 at the time
of the observation revealed she was the Infection Preventionist (IP) and she was unable to identify the three
names on the sign in sheet and stated all individuals were required to obtain their temperatures prior to
entrance.
2. Observation on 05/02/22 at 7:57 A.M. revealed STNA #500 was in Resident #37's room providing care
and STNA #501 was in Resident #36's room also providing care and neither had a face shield on. Interview
with STNA #500 and #501 revealed they had not been made aware the facility had positive COVID cases
and neither were aware of what PPE they should be using. Observation at 8:09 A.M. revealed STNA #503
was wearing a surgical mask but was not wearing a face shield. Interview with STNA #503 at the time of
the observation revealed she had not been made aware the facility had positive COVID cases and she was
not aware of the required PPE. Observation at 2:40 P.M. revealed a medication cart located outside of the
COVID unit that had a disposable isolation gown partially in a trash can on the outside of the medication
cart and a disposable stethoscope on top of the lid to the trash can. Interview with RN #505 at 2:50 P.M.
confirmed the disposable equipment was outside of the COVID unit and RN #505 stated the isolation
supplies should have been discarded on the COVID unit prior to exiting. RN #505 stated due to the facility
having positive COVID cases a face shield was required to be worn while in the facility.
3. Observation of wound care on 05/03/22 at 7:00 A.M. for Resident #1 with LPN #506 revealed she
cleaned the resident's left heel wound with normal saline. She then applied the ordered betadine (antiseptic
solution) and a clean dressing to the wound without changing her gloves. Interview with LPN

Review of the CDC guidance updated 09/10/21 titled Interim Infection Prevention and Control
Recommendations to Prevent SARS-CoV-2 Spread in Nursing Homes revealed Older adults living in
congregate settings are at high risk of being affected by respiratory and other pathogens, such as
SARS-CoV-2. A strong infection prevention and control (IPC) program is critical to protect both residents
and healthcare personnel (HCP). Even as nursing homes resume normal practices, they must sustain core
IPC practices and remain vigilant for SARSCoV- 2 infection among residents and HCP in order to prevent
spread and protect residents and HCP from severe infections, hospitalizations, and death. In general,
healthcare facilities should continue to follow the IPC recommendations for unvaccinated individuals
(e.g.,use of Transmission-Based Precautions for those that have had close contact to someone with
SARS-CoV-2 infection) when caring for fully vaccinated individuals with moderate to severe
immunocompromise due to a medical condition or receipt of immunosuppressive medications or
treatments. Manage Residents with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection HCP caring for
residents with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection should use full PPE (gowns, gloves, eye
protection, and a NIOSH-approved N95 or equivalent or higher-level respirator). Source control and
physical distancing (when physical distancing is feasible and will not interfere with provision of care) are
recommended for everyone in a healthcare setting. This is particularly important for individuals, regardless
of their vaccination status, who live or work in counties with substantial to high community transmission or
who have:
o Not been fully vaccinated; or
o Suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection or other respiratory infection (e.g.,those with runny nose,
cough, sneeze); or
o Had close contact (patients and visitors) or a higher-risk exposure (HCP) with someone with
SARS-CoV-2 infection
for 14 days after their exposure, including those residing or working in areas of a healthcare facility
experiencing
SARS-CoV-2 transmission (i.e., outbreak); or
o Moderate to severe immunocompromise; or
o Otherwise had source control and physical distancing recommended by public health authorities
o should still consider continuing to practice physical distancing and use of source control. Implement
Universal Use of Personal Protective Equipment for HCP If SARS-CoV-2 infection is not suspected in a
