This survey cited 16 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 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. Based on medical record review, staff interview and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to notify physicians of significant weight changes. This affected one (Resident #50) of five residents reviewed for nutrition. The facility census was 68. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #50 revealed an admission date of 10/10/22 with diagnoses including anoxic brain injury damage, adult failure to thrive, unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition, gastrostomy, aphasia, dysphagia, contracture of left and right hand, drug induced dyskinesia, and cognitive communication deficit. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for Resident #50 dated 03/20/24 revealed the resident had severely impaired cognition and was dependent on the assistance of staff for eating. Resident #50 had symptoms of a swallowing disorder including loss of liquids or solids from mouth when eating or drinking, holding food in mouth or residual food in mouth after meals, coughing or choking during meals or when swallowing medications, and complaints of difficulty or pain when swallowing. Resident #50 weighed 103 pounds with no significant weight changes. Resident #50 had a feeding tube and a mechanically altered diet. The feeding tube provided 51 percent (%) or more of total calories and 501 milliliters (ml) per day or more of fluids. Review of the weight records for Resident #50 revealed on 10/03/23 the resident weighed 108.8 pounds, and on 11/21/23 she weighed 102.2 pounds which was a 6.06 % weight loss over one month. Review of the medical record for Resident #50 revealed it did not include documentation of physician notification of the resident's significant weight loss. Interview on 05/15/24 at 3:40 P.M. with Dietitian #202 confirmed she was unsure if the physician was notified of Resident #50's significant weight loss. Interview on 05/16/24 at 10:00 A.M. with Regional Director of Clinical Services (RDCS) #201 verified there was no evidence the physician was notified of Resident #50's significant weight change. Review of the facility policy titled Notification of Changes dated 04/15/21 revealed the facility must inform the resident, consult with the physician, and notify the resident's family or legal representative when there was a change requiring notification. These changes included significant changes in the resident's physical, mental or psychological condition or circumstances that required a need to alter treatment.

The resident, who has a history of dementia, stated he did not remember when he sustained the injury. The resident complained of tenderness and pain to the left wrist. The musculoskeletal examination revealed significant edema, subacute ecchymosis, and tenderness to palpation without active or passive range of motion testing performed. The x-ray impression was an impacted intra-articular distal radius fracture with comminution and mild dorsal angulation resulting in posttraumatic ulnar positive variance and a small displaced ulnar styloid process fracture. X-rays were discussed and reviewed with orthopedic surgery who recommended splint placement and close follow-up at their office. A fiberglass splint was placed. Review of STNA #132's Witness Statement, dated 04/29/24, revealed she was in the southeast shower room with Resident #27 when he fell. STNA #132 stated Resident #27 was usually a partial/moderate assist with footwear but required supervision for upper and lower dressing.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Interview on 05/14/24 at 3:23 P.M. with the DON confirmed the fall investigation determined STNA #132 was getting the shower room ready when Resident #27 stood up and sustained a fall. The DON verified the investigation determined the predisposing factors were a wet floor, non-skid socks not in place, as well as the resident's confusion and his impaired memory. The DON confirmed following the incident, the intervention initiated was for staff to have the shower room ready prior to taking a resident into the shower room. The DON further confirmed some staff received an in-service on this topic. Interview on 05/14/24 at 4:34 P.M. with STNA #132 revealed prior to Resident #27's fall, she walked with him to the shower room. STNA #132 stated normally she will turn the shower on to have the water already running before bringing the resident into the shower room. STNA #132 stated she did not turn on the water ahead of time and prior to bringing the resident from his room because she had given two other showers that night and she was afraid the water would get too hot.

Interview on 05/20/24 at 11:56 A.M. with LPN #205 revealed STNA #132 activated the shower room's call light and he responded. LPN #205 observed the resident sitting on the floor beside a white shower chair and the resident was naked. LPN #205 stated he did not see any non-skid socks and assumed the resident had not been wearing any, which is why he indicated this in his nursing progress note following the fall; however, following a subsequent conversation with STNA #132 on Friday evening, 05/17/24, she told him that Resident #27 had been wearing his non-skid socks prior to the fall. LPN #205 stated following Resident #27's fall, he observed the shower room's floor to be wet (as documented in his nursing progress note), and the room was hot and steamy. LPN #205 stated the immediate fall intervention initiated was to make sure the shower room floors were dry before taking a resident into the shower room and for Resident #27 to be assisted by two staff members for showers. Review of the facility policy titled, Fall Prevention Program, dated 07/19/23, revealed each resident will be assessed for fall risk and will receive care and services in accordance with their individualized level of risk to minimize the likelihood of falls. Fall interventions may include call light and frequently used items to be within reach and to encourage residents to wear shoes or slippers with non-slip soles when ambulating. Each resident's risk factors and environmental hazards will be evaluated when developing the resident's comprehensive plan of care, interventions will be monitored for effectiveness.

The DON further confirmed the facility attempted padding Resident #50's bed rails on 04/29/24 because the resident sustained bruises to her face and hands on 04/26/24 related to the bed rails. The DON confirmed Resident #50's bruises had healed, and the facility had decided to discontinue Resident #50's bedrails on 05/06/24. Review of the facility policy titled Proper Use of Bed Rails dated 10/01/22 revealed as part of the resident's comprehensive assessment, the following components were to be considered when determining the resident's needs, and whether or not the use of bed rails met those needs: medical diagnosis, conditions, symptoms, and/or behavioral symptoms, size and weight, sleep habits, medication, acute and medical or surgical interventions, underlying medical conditions, existence of delirium, ability to toilet self safely, cognition, communication, mobility, risk of falling. Additionally, the resident assessment must include an evaluation of the alternatives that were attempted prior to the installation or use of bed rails and how these alternatives failed to meet the resident's assessed needs. The resident assessment must also assess the resident's risk from using bed rails. These potential risks included accident hazards, barrier to residents from safely getting out of bed, physical restraint, decline in function, skin integrity issues, and other potential negative psychosocial outcomes.
