This affected three (Resident #7, #10, and 14) of four residents reviewed for abuse. The facility census was 77. Findings include: Medical record revealed Resident #7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiparesis and hemiplegia following cerebral infarction, schizophrenia, history of substance abuse, muscle weakness, dysphagia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Further review of the medical record revealed the resident was severely cognitively impaired.

The residents alleged to be involved were Resident (#7, #10, and #14). The allegation was immediately reported to the Administrator and an investigation was immediately initiated. Following the allegation, the smoking patio was supervised by staff during smoking breaks for all residents. The three residents in question were interviewed with no concerns, and there were no witnesses who confirmed that fornication had occurred on the patio. Interview on 06/27/24 at 1:00 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed the sexual abuse allegation indicated in SRI #248991 was not reported to the State Agency within two hours as required.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 medical record review, self-reported incident review, facility policy review, and interviews, the facility failed to complete an accurate smoking risk assessment for two residents (#7 and #12) and failed to ensure smoking supervision for Resident #7, who was severely cognitively impaired. This affected two (Resident #7 and #12) of four residents reviewed for accidents. The facility census was 77. Findings include: 1. Medical record review revealed Resident #7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiparesis and hemiplegia following cerebral infarction, schizophrenia, history of substance abuse, muscle weakness, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 04/30/24, revealed the resident was severely cognitively impaired. Review of a physician progress note, dated 06/18/24, revealed Resident #7 had the diagnoses of hemiplegia, hemiparesis, dysphagia, and contractures of the right hand/finger. Review of Resident #7's Smoking Assessment v 4, dated 05/24/24, indicated the resident was an independent smoker. The assessment incorrectly indicated that the resident did not have dexterity problems, did not have swallowing difficulties, and that the plan of care reflected the use of nicotine in any form. Review of Self-Reported Incident (SRI) #248991, dated 06/24/24, revealed on 06/23/24 Resident #7 was unsupervised during a smoke break when an allegation of potential sexual abuse occurred. Interview on 06/26/24 at 12:55 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #7's smoking assessment dated [DATE] was incorrect and she would re-assess the resident. The DON further confirmed Resident #7's care plan did not indicate the use of nicotine or that the resident was a smoker and that it should have been revised to reflect she used nicotine. Following Resident #7's smoking re-assessment completed by the DON during the complaint investigation revealed the resident had a dexterity problem, swallowing difficulties, and required smoking supervision. Interview on 06/26/24 at 4:15 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed Resident #7 had been unsupervised during her smoking breaks, but going forward she will be supervised during her smoking breaks. 2. Medical record revealed Resident #12 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including infarction, dementia, diabetes mellitus, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, anxiety, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
