This survey cited 9 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. Based on observation, record review and interview the facility failed to provide a dignified dining experience for Resident #2, Resident #6 and Resident #49. This affected three residents (#2, #6 and #49) of 11 residents who were identified to eat in the Tuscan dining room. Findings Include: An observation on 09/16/19 at 5:20 P.M. revealed State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #758 was assisting Resident #2, Resident #6 and Resident #49 with the dinner meal. STNA #758 was standing at the table, walking around the table giving each resident a bite of food then moving on the next resident. STNA #758 never sat down to feed a specific resident. During an interview on 09/16/19 at 5:30 P.M. STNA #785 verified she had been standing while feeding Resident #2, Resident #6 and Resident #49. An interview on 09/16/19 at 5:40 P.M. with the [NAME] President of Clinical Operations revealed staff were expected to sit while they fed residents. Review of the facility policy titled Assistance with Meals, dated 07/2017 revealed the residents would receive assistance with meals in a manner that meets the individual needs of each resident. Residents who could not feed themselves would be fed with attention to safety, comfort and dignity for example: not standing over residents while assisting them to with meals, keeping interaction with other staff to a minimum while assisting residents with meals, avoiding the use of label when referring to residents; and and the use of bibs or clothing protectors instead of napkins, unless requested by the resident. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0604 Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review and interview the facility failed to ensure Resident #48 was comprehensively assessed for the use of a seatbelt restraint in a motorized wheelchair. This affected one resident (#48) of one resident reviewed for restraints. Residents Affected - Few Findings Include: Review of Resident #48's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of multiple sclerosis, paraplegia, diabetes, foot drop and depression. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #48 had moderately impaired cognition, required staff extensive assistance with bed mobility and toilet use and required total assistance from staff for transfer. The assessment revealed the resident did not have a restraint. Observations on 09/17/19 at 9:15 A.M., 1:45 P.M., 4:20 P.M. and on 09/18/19 at 9:00 A.M. revealed Resident # 48 was in a motorized wheelchair with a seatbelt restraint fastened around his waist. An interview on 09/17/19 at 9:15 A.M. Resident #48 revealed he did not need the seat belt but it came with the wheelchair and if you did not fasten it then it would drag on the ground. He indicated no one had attempted to remove it from the wheelchair. An observation on 09/19/19 at 12:03 P.M. revealed State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #661 asked Resident #48 to release his seatbelt and the resident stated he was not able to release it on his own. STNA # 661 verified Resident #48 was unable to release his seatbelt restraint at that time. An interview on 09/19/19 at 3:08 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #639 revealed Resident #48 had waned the seatbelt fastened. However, she verified there was not a restraint assessment or a plan of care completed to indicate the resident preferred the seatbelt fastened.
