F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety 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 review of open and closed medical records, review of hospital records, review of the facility investigation, review of the hazardous chemical policy, review of in-service education, review of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), review of facility self-reported incidents, observations of the housekeeping cart, interviews with staff, interviews with residents, and review of an emergency medical services report, the facility failed to properly store hazardous chemicals when a reasonable risk to resident safety was present. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and Actual Harm with subsequent death on 06/12/25 when Resident #55, who was known to have a history of depression and prior suicide attempts, consumed liquid from a bottle of mild acid disinfectant (Drano) bowl cleaner that had been left in the resident's bathroom unsecured by Housekeeper #800. Resident #55 was identified to have intentionally ingested an unknown quantity of the chemical, resulting in the resident's hospitalization and subsequent death due to complications from the ingestion of the chemical/liquid. Additionally, a concern that did not rise to Immediate Jeopardy occurred on 07/10/25 at 9:02 A.M. when observation of the housekeeping cart revealed only one-half of the housekeeping cart was locked where cleaning supplies were stored. The cleaning supplies were accessible from the opposite side of the cart, which had a keyhole but no key to secure it. Contained in the cart were two marked bottles of mild acid disinfectant bowl cleaner and a marked bottle of window cleaner. This affected one resident (#55) reviewed for potential self-harm and had the potential to affect all 41 residents residing in the facility. The facility census was 41.On 07/09/25 at 1:18 P.M., Corporate Nurse #560, Regional Nurse #570, the Administrator, and the Director of Nursing (DON) were notified Immediate Jeopardy began on 06/12/25 at approximately 11:30 P.M. when Resident #55 was found by Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #251 to have had an emesis. CNA #251 reported the resident's emesis to Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #265 who immediately assessed Resident #55. LPN #265 noted the emesis appeared blue in color and a smell of mint. LPN# 265 asked the resident if she consumed mouthwash. Resident #55 stated she had ingested Drano. LPN #265 asked her where she got it from, and the resident pointed to a bottle of cleaning solution in a white drawstring bag on her bedside table. LPN #265 contacted the physician, called nine-one-one (911), and stayed with Resident #55 until Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrived at 11:40 P.M. Resident #55 was hospitalized and passed away at the hospital on [DATE] due to complications as a result of the ingestion of the chemical liquid. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 07/11/25 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: On 06/12/25 at 11:30 P.M., CNA #251 informed LPN #265 Resident #55 had an emesis. LPN #265 went to Resident #55's room and observed blue-colored emesis on the bed and around Resident #55's mouth. Resident #55 told LPN #265 she drank Drano and showed the bottle to her. LPN #265 asked the resident where she got the bottle of cleaning solution from, and the resident pointed to her bedside table where the bottle was in a white drawstring bag. On 06/12/25 at 11:40 P.M., EMS arrived at the facility to transport Resident #55 to a local hospital. On 06/13/25 at 8:30 A.M., Social Service Director (SSD) #209, Housekeeping Director #207, Activity Director #246, Minimum Data Set (MDS) Nurse #206, Staffing Coordinator (SC) #237 and admission Director (AD) #227 began performing room searches looking for any chemicals or other poisonous substances in residents' rooms using the facility's floor plan as guide.

On 06/13/25 beginning at 9:00 A.M., MDS Nurse #206 and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #203 began reviewing progress notes for all residents, specifically looking for anything out of the ordinary or related to suicidal ideations or behaviors, between the dates of 05/13/25 and ending on 06/13/25.On 06/13/25 at approximately 9:30 A.M., SSD #209 identified three like residents (#10, #17, and #39) based on their diagnoses and history of suicidal ideations. SSD #209 completed face-to-face interviews with Residents #10, #17, and #39 on their psycho-social well-being and history of trauma, with no concerns identified. Beginning on 06/13/25 at 9:30 A.M., SSD #209 completed psycho-social and trauma assessments on all residents.

MD #525 and MD #515 were notified and placed orders for the five residents to have laboratory testing completed. The residents were educated, and the items were immediately removed from resident rooms. This process was overseen by the Administrator. On 06/13/25 at or around 1:18 P.M., the Administrator educated all facility staff, both in person and via phone, of the facility policy regarding chemical ingestion and safe storage of chemicals. The DON educated facility staff on recognizing and reporting suicidal behavior. On 06/13/25 at approximately 2:00 P.M., all facility residents had a head-to-toe assessment completed, including vital signs and pain assessments. These assessments were completed by MDS Nurse #206. On 06/13/25 at approximately 3:00 P.M., resident room rounds were completed by the Housekeeping Director #207, SC #237, AD #227, MDS Nurse #206, SSD #209 and Activity Director #246 to ensure no chemicals were left out throughout the day. On 06/13/25 at approximately 4:00 P.M., the facility's floor map and census report were compared to ensure both morning and afternoon room searches had occurred for all residents. All room searches were noted as completed once in the morning and once in the afternoon. This process was overseen by the Administrator. On 06/13/25 at 5:00 P.M., an Ad-Hoc Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) meeting was held with MD #525 and the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) to discuss the incident. The safety committee would continue to monitor the safety plan and would evaluate the plan at each QAPI meeting monthly and as necessary. Beginning on 06/13/25, ongoing facility round audits specific to chemical storage were implemented three times a week for three weeks, then once five times weekly indefinitely. Each department head is assigned rooms to check off to ensure compliance. If any concerns were to be identified, they would be immediately reported to the DON or Administrator and would be addressed immediately. On 06/13/25, a sign was posted by the visitor sign-in sheet and at the nurse's station by the leave of absence book notifying visitors to check with the Administrator before bringing in any items. These signs were placed by the Administrator. On 06/13/25, the facility implemented a plan for the DON or designee to identify residents with a diagnosis of suicidal ideation (SI) on an ongoing basis. These residents would be reviewed monthly at the facility QAPI meetings. On 06/13/25, the facility implemented a plan that on admission, any new admission identified to have a history of suicidal ideations would be identified by noting the history of suicidal ideations under the special instructions tab in the electronic medical record. These residents would have every one-hour safety checks completed for 72-hours post-admission which would be completed by the assigned nurse. An order would be placed to assess the resident for suicidal ideations on an ongoing basis and care plans would be updated to reflect the history of suicidal ideations. This would be completed by the DON or designee. On 07/10/25 at 9:02 A.M., the housekeeping cart that only locked on one side was removed from use and placed into a service hallway.

This training was provided by the DON or designee and was completed on 07/11/25. Although the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 07/11/25, the facility remained out of compliance at Severity Level 2 (no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy) as the facility was still in the process of implementing their corrective actions and monitoring to ensure on-going compliance. Findings include:Review of the closed medical record for Resident #55 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including major depressive disorder, paranoid personality disorder , mild cognitive impairment, insomnia and schizoid personality disorder.
