This affected one resident (#51) of three residents reviewed for falls. Findings included: Record review revealed Resident #51 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses included history of falls, history of healed traumatic fracture, and muscle weakness. Review of Resident #51's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed the resident had two or more falls with no injuries since the last admission/entry, reentry, or prior assessment. Review of Resident #51's fall plan of care initiated 12/04/21 and revised on 03/19/24 revealed the resident required a soft call light, ensure call light was in reach at all times, low bed, and a full mattress on the floor beside the bed. Review of Resident #51's activity of daily living (ADL) plan of care initiated on 05/12/21 and revised on 03/19/24 revealed to call light in reach when in bed. Observation on 09/03/24 at 8:26 A.M. revealed Resident #51's was lying in bed. The resident's bed was in the high position and the full mattress was not on the floor beside the bed. The full mattress was leaned up against the furniture at the end of the resident bed. The surveyor activated the resident's call light. Two staff members walked by Resident #51's room and didn't respond. State Tested Nurse's Aide (STNA) #135 returned shortly and confirmed the call light outside the room was not lighting up to alert staff the call light was activated. The STNA reported she was the float STNA today and she just came over to help assist the resident with breakfast and didn't really know what the resident's fall intervention were. The STNA then placed the full mattress on the floor, lowered the bed, and reported she would let the staff know about the call light malfunction. Interview on 09/03/24 at 3:45 P.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON), Registered Nurse (RN) #206, and RN #149 revealed Resident #51's call light was immediately fixed and staff education was started regarding fall interventions. The DON reported the resident had not sustained a fall in the last three months and confirmed the resident's plan of care indicated the resident's bed would be in low position and a full mattress would be placed on the floor beside the bed. Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Fall Prevention Program (dated 06/01/24) revealed each resident would be assessed for fall risk and would receive care and services in accordance with their individualized level of risk to minimize the likelihood of falls. Each resident's risk factors, and environmental hazards would be evaluated when developing the resident's comprehensive plan of care. Intervention would be monitored for effectiveness.

F 0725 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in charge on each shift. Based on review of information submitted to the state survey agency, interview, resident council minutes review, review of the concern log, and policy review the facility failed to ensure adequate staffing to answer call lights timely and provide care timely. This had the potential to affect all 69 residents residing in the facility. Findings include: Interview on 08/26/24 at 12:26 P.M. with anonymous staff member #300 revealed the facility was understaffed. The anonymous staff member reported it was difficult to provide incontinence care and answer call lights timely when there was only one aide per hall and by the time she completed the first rounds half of her day was gone. Interview on 08/26/24 at 2:24 P.M. with Resident #3 revealed the facility was understaffed. The resident reported there was only one aide for each unit. The resident reported one aide was not enough for his unit and the facility kept adding residents but not adding staff to care for them. He had to beg for a bed bath daily. It took staff an hour or so to answer call lights. Interview on 08/27/24 at 8:22 A.M., with Resident #65 revealed the facility was understaffed and provided no effort to get her out of bed and if they did they put her in a wheelchair and left her up for hours. She had to wait two to four hours on night shift for someone to answer her call lights because there was only one aide for North (two units) and one for South (two units). She had voiced concerns, but no one ever listened. She told the Director of Nursing (DON) to come in one night and see for herself. The resident reported she was incontinent of urine and the staff don't check on her. She has to ring to let them know she needs changed. The staffing on the weekends is worse. If you need changed around mealtime you might as well forget it because they won't do it, and she has to lay for two hours wet. Interview on 08/27/24 at 5:06 P.M., with Resident #41 (with the DON present) revealed there was not enough staff to meet her needs. She has had to wait an hour for someone to answer her call light. The other night she had to go to the bathroom and staff told her to urinate on herself and they would be back to clean her up. The resident reported she had laid on the floor after a fall recently for 45 minutes to an hour before staff heard her screaming. The resident reported she understands she isn't the only resident in the building, but she still needs assistance. Interview on 08/27/24 at 10:30 A.M., with Resident #24 revealed staff was thin. It takes anywhere from 15-30 minutes for staff to answer the call lights. Interview on 08/29/24 at 11:05 A.M., with Resident #49 revealed there was not enough staff. The resident reported it takes staff one to two hours to answer her call light and it's hard to find staff. Interview on 08/29/24 at 11:48 A.M., with Medical Care Provider (MCP) #207 revealed when she had visited a client yesterday (08/28/24) she had turned on the call light while she was there to check the response time due to the client had been reporting she had been waiting for an hour for staff to respond to her call light.

Review of information submitted to the state survey agency in the form of complaints dated 08/02/24 to 08/22/24 revealed concerns related to staff not answering call lights timely (up to an hour wait), staff answering call lights and not returning as promised, not providing incontinence care timely, and not assisting residents timely upon request. Review of the facility concern log revealed on 08/17/24 Resident #69's niece had voiced concerns the resident had not been dressed and was incontinent. The staff provided incontinence care and clean linens and clothes. The staff had placed the incontinent linens on the floor. The niece demanded that management be called. The nurse was instructed to provide education to staff on not placing soiled linen/pads on the floor and instructed staff to clean the room. There was no evidence the concern of incontinence care not provided timely or not being dressed was addressed. Review of Resident Council Minutes dated 08/07/24 revealed call light response times were slower on the weekends. Fifteen (15) of 15 residents who attended the resident council meeting voiced concerns. The facility's response was to initiate call light audits for the weekend. The facility did three call light audits on Saturday 08/10/24 (2:00 P.M, 2:15 P.M., and 3:30 P.M.), three call light audits on Sunday 08/11/24 (9:00 A.M., 10:20 A.M., and 10:25 A.M.), two on 08/24/24 (10:00 A.M. and 11:28 A.M.) and one on 08/25/24 (1:55 A.M.). All the call light audits were conducted on one shift. Review of the facility's policy titled Call Light: Accessibility and Timely Response (dated 04/01/22) revealed all staff members who see or hear an activated call light are responsible for responding. If assistance is needed with a procedure, summon help by using the call light. Stay with the resident until help arrives. Review of the facility's policy titled Customer Service (undated) revealed call lights should be answered as soon as possible and the issue resolved. Everyone answers call lights. If you tell a resident, you will be back in a few minutes go back as promised. If you are not able to do so, notify another staff person to complete the needed task. You lose credibility when you promise to return and don't. Don't tell a resident not to use the call light no matter how many times they use it.

This had the potential to affect all 69 residents residing in the building. Findings included: Review of the facility's daily staff posting dated 08/04/24 revealed the census was 64. There was no RN or RN hours for dayshift or night shift noted. There was 3.75 Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) for 44 hours on dayshift and 2.75 LPN for 32 hours on nightshift. Review of the staffing schedule dated 08/04/24 revealed no evidence a RN was scheduled. Review of time sheets dated 08/04/24 revealed no evidence a RN had worked on 08/04/24. Interview on 09/03/24 at 3:45 P.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed there was no evidence a RN had worked eight consecutive hours on 08/04/24. The DON reported she had come into the facility on [DATE] to investigate an allegation of missing narcotics, however she never clocked in and could not say she was at the facility for eight hours that day. Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Staffing (dated 10/2017) revealed the facility provides sufficient numbers of staff with the skills and competency necessary to provide care and services for all residents in accordance with resident care plans and the facility assessment. Review of the Facility assessment dated [DATE] and revised 08/29/24 revealed the facility would have one to four RN's daily.

Based on review of narcotic control sheets, interview, and policy review the facility failed to ensure staff followed the systems in place for managing narcotic medications to assist in the prevention of narcotic diversion. This had the potential to affect all 69 residents residing in the facility. Finding included: Review of the Northwest controlled medication form dated 07/30/24 to 08/07/24 revealed no evidence a second nurse witnessed/signed when a narcotic medication count sheet was added or removed from the inventory. Interview on 08/27/24 at 12:57 P.M., with Registered Nurse (RN) #206 and the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed nurses were not ensuring a second nurse was witnessing when narcotic count sheets were added or removed from the narcotic inventory. The facility recently had nine oxycodone missing. The resident's blister card and control sheet were both removed and not documented on the control sheets per staff. The staff reported the only reason the missing medication was discovered was the nurse that had worked the prior day noticed the resident's new blister pack of oxycodone was pink and she had joked with the resident about the change in color.
