This survey cited 6 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 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. Based on interview, record review and review of the facility policy the facility failed to ensure Resident #335 had a physician order for an advance directive and failed to ensure Resident #335 had a signed advance directive in the medical record. This affected one resident (Resident #335) out of three residents reviewed for advance directives. The facility census was 80. Findings include: Review of Resident #335's medical record revealed an admission date of 03/08/23 and diagnoses including ventricular tachycardia, acute respiratory failure with hypoxia and type two diabetes mellitus. Review of Resident #335's admission Assessment and Baseline Care Plan dated, 03/08/23, revealed Resident #335 arrived via a cot and was alert to self, person, place, and time. Resident #335 required partial or moderate assistance for bed mobility. Resident #335 required assistance of two staff and used a mechanical lift for transfers. Resident #335 was occasionally incontinent of bowel and bladder. Review of Resident #335's care plan dated, 03/08/23, revealed Resident #335 had advanced directive care planning. Resident #335 would have desired advanced directive met. Resident #335 had a code status of DNR CCA (Do Not Resuscitate Comfort Care Arrest). Interventions included to adhere to desired code status. Review of Resident #335's physician orders from 03/08/23 through 03/13/23 did not reveal orders for an advanced directive code status. Review of Resident #335's hard chart medical record did not reveal documentation of Resident #335's code status. Interview on 03/16/23 at 10:31 A.M. of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #839 revealed she was assigned to the nursing unit Resident #335 resided on. LPN #839 stated Resident #335 had a code status of DNR (Do Not Resuscitate), but could not specify if it was DNR CC (Do Not Resuscitate Comfort Care) or DNR CCA. LPN #839 stated she was told verbally in report by the night shift nurse Resident #335 was DNR. Review of the hospital discharge instructions Gold Form Provider Orders dated, 03/08/23, with LPN #839 revealed Resident #335 had a code status of DNAR plus additional limitations (Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, a person should not receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation if that person's heart stops beating). There was no instruction in the provider orders for what plus additional (continued on next page) 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.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 3. Review of Resident #52's medical record revealed he was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia, acute respiratory failure and cerebral infarction. Review of Resident #52's Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed he exhibited a memory problem. Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident #52's Wound Evaluation form dated 03/14/23 indicated he had a sacrum stage three (full thickness skin loss, involving damage or death of subcutaneous tissue that may extend down to, but not through, underlying tissues and muscles) pressure wound measuring 4.5 cm length by 4.0 cm depth by at least 0.5 cm depth with 60% (percent) granulation tissue, 20% necrotic tissue (slough). The treatments included to cleanse the wound with wound cleaner, apply anasept gel (antibiotic) then apply dermablue (antimicrobial) or hydrofera blue (antimicrobial), cover with a large sacral foam dressing and change three times a week and as needed. Position side to side only. Observation on 03/16/23 at 7:00 A.M. revealed Resident #52 was lying on his back with his arms positioned at his sides and he was lying on an air mattress. He was not alert and oriented, had a tracheostomy tube and a feeding tube with feeding solution infusing at 75 ml (milliliters) per hour at the time of the observation. Interview on 03/16/23 at 7:30 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #858 confirmed Resident #52 was positioned on his back when he should be positioned side to side only to prevent further deterioration of his pressure ulcer wound. Interview on 03/16/23 at 7:34 A.M. with LPN Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator #907 revealed Resident #52's care plans did not include the intervention to only position the resident from side to side and not on his back. Interview on 03/16/23 at 9:10 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #52's wound documentation indicating he should be positioned side to side only and she was unsure why it was not care planned as a wound/skin intervention in his medical record. Review of the facility policy titled Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Assessment dated, 12/17/13, included it was the policy of the facility to prevent the development of pressure ulcers to the greatest extent possible and as allowed by the resident's compliance, cognition and or physical function. For a person in bed change position at least every two hours or more frequently as needed, determine if the resident needed a special mattress, raise the head of the bed as little and for as short a time as possible and only as necessary for meals, treatments and medical necessity. Routinely assess and document the condition of the resident's skin per facility wound and skin care program for any signs and symptoms of skin irritation or breakdown. Immediately report any signs of a developing pressure ulcer to the supervisor and physician. Place resident on a minimum of every two hour check and change. Impaired mobility, decreased functional ability, cognitive impairment, exposure of skin to urinary and fecal incontinence are additional clinical condition that indicate a resident was at risk for pressure ulcers. This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00140816 and Complaint Number OH00140473.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Assessment the facility failed to ensure Resident #330 was turned and repositioned at least every two hours to relieve pressure on his buttocks, failed to maintain an intact, ordered dressing in place to his sacrum and failed to ensure the setting on his low air loss (LAL) mattress was adjusted to the proper setting demonstrating a lack of care and services to prevent the development of a deep tissue pressure injury (persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon or purple discoloration intact skin with localized area of persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon, purple discoloration due to damage of underlying soft tissue). In addition, the facility failed to ensure Resident #335's pressure ulcers and injuries were accurately and thoroughly evaluated, measured, and documented in the medical record and Resident #52 was adequately repositioned to provide pressure relief to his wound areas. This affected three residents (Resident's #52, #330, #335) out of four residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility census was 80. Actual Harm occurred to Resident #330 on 03/14/23 when Resident #330, who returned to the facility from a hospitalization on 03/07/23 with a documented excoriated buttocks and groin area with barrier cream in place, was assessed and observed by Wound Nurse Practitioner (WNP) #925 and found to be laying on a hard, LAL mattress not properly adjusted to the required settings, and Resident #330 had developed a deep pressure injury on his coccyx radiating to the right buttock. Findings include: 1.Review of Resident #330's medical record revealed an admission date of 01/14/23 and a re-entry date of 03/07/23 after being in the hospital with the diagnoses of urinary tract infection and clostridium difficile (a bacteria that can cause diarrhea and inflammation of the bowel) . Resident #330's additional diagnoses included enterocolitis due to clostridium difficile (C Diff), acute kidney failure and dehydration. Review of Resident #330's Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk, dated 01/14/23, revealed Resident #330 was at low risk for developing a pressure ulcer, injury. Review of Resident #330's hospital Physician Orders and Transfer of Care Form, dated 02/28/23 through 03/07/23, included Resident #330 was incontinent of bladder and bowel. Resident #330 was alert, oriented and cooperative. Resident #330's skin was intact, he had excoriation (an abraded area of the skin) on his bottom and groin, and barrier cream was applied. Review of Resident #330's physician orders, dated 03/07/23, revealed protective barrier cream ointment topically to peri-area (perineal area) after each incontinent episode. This order was discontinued on 03/08/23 and a new order written dated 03/08/23 at 8:15 A.M. for a treatment to buttocks and perineal area, cleanse with wound cleanser, apply Triad (adheres to wet skin, keeping the wound covered and protected from incontinence) and cover buttocks with a large sacral dressing for protection, change three times a week and as needed. Review of Resident #330's Initial Wound Assessment Documentation dated, 03/07/23 at 7:44 P.M., included Resident #330's buttocks and groin were excoriated with no open areas. Review of Resident #330's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 03/07/23, revealed Resident #330 had moderate cognitive impairment. Resident #330 required extensive assistance of one staff member for bed mobility and toilet use and required extensive assistance of two staff members for transfers. Resident #330 was frequently incontinent of urine and occasionally incontinent of bowel. Resident #330 did not have a pressure ulcer.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident #330's physician orders, Medication Administration Record (MAR) and Treatment Administration Record (TAR), State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) charting, care plan, and progress notes dated 03/07/23 through 03/14/23, did not reveal documentation Resident #330 had physician orders to be turned and repositioned every two hours or evidence Resident #330 was turned and repositioned every two hours. Further review of the progress notes did not reveal documentation Resident #330 refused to be turned and repositioned. Review of Resident #330's TAR, dated 03/08/23, revealed he did not receive the treatment orders dated 03/08/23 at 8:15 A.M. for a treatment to buttocks and perineal area, cleanse with wound cleanser, apply Triad and cover buttocks with a large sacral dressing for protection, change three times a week and as needed. Review of Resident #330's care plan, dated 03/08/23, included Resident #330 had impaired skin integrity with risk of pain and infection related to fragile skin and incontinence MASD (moisture associated skin damage) to buttocks due to loose stools from clostridium difficile. Resident #330 would have pain managed as evidenced by no complaints of pain, Resident #330 would have wound resolved, Resident #330's wound would be without signs and symptoms of infection, Resident #330's wound would decrease in size as noted measurements. Care plan Interventions dated 03/08/23 included to apply barrier cream after each incontinence cleansing, check skin with showers/baths and report abnormalities to the physician as indicated; a low air loss mattress, notify physician and resident, resident representative of change in condition, positioning interventions, appliances, wound treatments per protocol and physician orders. Review of Resident #330's general progress notes and assessments, dated 03/10/23 through 03/13/23, revealed no documentation of characteristics of a wound or reddened area on Resident #330's coccyx, sacral area or buttocks including measurements, color, drainage. Review of Resident #330's skilled progress notes dated, 03/10/23 at 11:09 A.M., revealed Resident #330 had no change to skin or current impairments. Review of Resident #330's STNA charting for skin observation, dated 03/10/23 at 11:38 A.M., revealed Resident #330 had a new skin impairment, red area. The new skin impairment, red area was reported to the nurse. This charting did not indicate what area of the body the STNA noted the red area of skin impairment. Review of Resident #330's skilled progress notes dated, 03/11/23 at 5:47 P.M. revealed Resident #330 had no change to skin or current impairments, dressing on left buttock wound. Review of Resident #330's skilled progress notes dated, 03/12/23 at 5:59 P.M., revealed Resident #330 had no change to skin or current impairments, wound on sacrum, coccyx, dressing present.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few discoloration radiating from the right buttock to the right ischial area, area was all measured as one. Eighty percent of the measured area was intact but discolored. Treatments to consider included to turn and reposition every two hours, pressure reducing mattress, alternating, pressure redistribution cushion to all seated surfaces. Treatment for the pressure ulcer was to cleanse with wound cleanser, apply xeroform to the open area over the coccyx. Then apply a large sacral foam dressing. Change three times a week and as needed. Ensure static mode was turned off and weight was consistent with patient's weight. Further review of the wound evaluation included resident was admitted to the facility to undergo rehab and family was present during the exam. Wife #950 stated resident was having some discomfort and a pillow was placed underneath Resident #330's buttocks. It was explained to Wife #950 the pillow negated the offloading properties of the specialized mattress that Resident #330 was on, and the pillow could be used to help position him so he was offloaded on his buttocks but should not come in contact with the wound itself. Resident #330 had a dark, purplish red linear line along the right buttock consistent with possible pillow coming in contact with this area or folded bedding. There was a small superficial area directly over the coccyx, the entire area was measured as one given the discoloration throughout. The above treatment would be applied using the large sacral foam to incorporate the entire area. Resident #330 was currently treated for clostridium difficile (C Diff) and this placed him at a greater risk of further tissue breakdown and posed a barrier to resolution. The large sacral foam should help protect the area from exposure. The facility would ensure the low air loss mattress was not set on static position and coincided with his current weight which was 204 pounds. Recommend limiting time in chair to less than two-hour intervals and Resident #330 could rotate back and forth between the bed and chair frequently throughout the day. Review of the manufacturer instructions for Resident #330's LAL mattress included the pump and mattress system was indicated for the prevention and treatment of any and all stage pressure ulcers when used in conjunction with a comprehensive pressure ulcer management program. The instructions included to determine the patient's weight and set the control knob to that weight setting on the control unit. Further review included to press the static button to shift between alternating mode and static mode. In alternating mode, the air cells will alternate in ten-minute cycles. When in static mode, the mattress provides a firm surface that makes it easier for the patient to transfer or reposition. The static mode will help ensure the patient does not bottom out when in a sitting position. Observation on 03/13/23 at 8:22 A.M. revealed Resident #330's wife called surveyor to Resident #330's room. Wife #950 stated Resident #330's incontinence brief was not changed and now his rear end was raw. Wife #950 stated she registered a complaint with Resident #330's nurse and aide, but she did not know what their names were. Wife #950 stated this happened on 03/08/23 and 03/10/23, and Wife #950 stated she did not know who the nurse was those days. Wife #950 stated the aide and Licensed Social Worker (LSW) #881 reported it to the nurse. Wife #950 indicated Resident #330 was very restless and his incontinence brief was not changed timely during the night. Observation on 03/13/23 at 8:30 A.M. of Resident #330's buttock and sacral area with Registered Nurse (RN) #910 revealed Resident #330's incontinence brief was wet with urine. Resident #330 did not have a dressing on his sacral or buttock area. Observation of Resident #330 revealed he had an open area with a pink wound bed on his coccyx which was approximately the size of a nickel, and a dark red and purple line extending down his right buttock. Further observation revealed Resident #330's buttocks were excoriated, had open areas, and barrier cream was noted on buttocks. Observation on 03/13/23 at 9:48 am revealed Resident #330 lying on his back in bed. There was no observation of staff turning and repositioning Resident #330 or encouraging Resident #330 to turn and reposition.

Observation on 03/14/23 at 10:09 A.M. of Resident #330 with Wound Nurse Practitioner (WNP) #925 revealed Resident #330's coccyx had an open area with a pink wound bed. Resident #330 had a dark purple line approximately one-half inch wide and one and one-half inch long along his right buttock and ischial area which did not blanche. WNP #925 stated the purple area was due to some kind of pressure injury. Wife #950 was at the bedside and stated the staff did not turn and reposition Resident #330 and he was always lying on his back. Wife #950 stated staff got Resident #330 up for a little bit on 03/13/23, but otherwise he was lying on his back all the time. Observation revealed Resident #330 was lying on his back with a pillow under his buttocks. WNP #925 stated the pillow was causing pressure to the area and should not be under the buttocks. WNP #925 noted the LAL mattress setting was at 350 which was the highest level, and the static button was on which prevented the LAL mattress from redistributing the pressure. WNP #925 stated the LAL mattress setting should be according to weight and should be set at 180 and not 350 and the static button should be off. WNP #925 felt the bed and stated the bed was very hard under Resident #330's buttock and sacral area. The surveyor confirmed the bed was very hard under Resident #30's buttock and sacral area. WNP #925 stated the staff needed to be educated on the proper settings for the LAL mattress.

F 0726 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way that maximizes each resident's well being. Based on observation, interview, record review, and review of manufacturer's instructions, the facility failed to ensure Resident #335's ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator) discharge instructions were documented in the medical record and failed to ensure ICD bedside monitoring device education was provided to the nursing staff. This affected one resident (#335) out of three residents reviewed for quality of care. The facility census was 80. Findings include: Review of Resident #335's cardiology daily progress note dated 03/07/23 included Resident #335 had an ICD placement on 03/06/23. Review of Resident #335's medical record revealed an admission date of 03/08/23 with diagnoses including ventricular tachycardia, acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, and type two diabetes mellitus. Review of Resident #335's hospital discharge Gold Form Provider Orders dated 03/08/23 included to keep appointment in the device clinic (ICD) and keep incision clean and dry for five days after the procedure, do not submerge incision in tub, pool, hot tub, or lake for four weeks; if the incision was bleeding or draining please call the office; if redness, swelling, drainage, have more pain at the site or a fever greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (F) call the office immediately. Activity restrictions included do not raise elbow higher than shoulder on the affected side for the first four weeks; however, it was important to move the shoulder joint gently each day to prevent the shoulder from becoming stiff; avoid any activity, exercise which involved rough contact with device site or might cause a heavy blow to the skin over the device; follow up with the physician prior to any activity that might be considered as rough. Review of Resident #335's care plan, physician orders, and progress notes did not reveal documentation of above information. Review of Resident #335's admission Assessment and Baseline Care Plan dated 03/08/23 revealed Resident #335 arrived via a cot and was alert to self, person, place, and time. Resident #335 required partial or moderate assistance for bed mobility. Resident #335 required assistance of two staff and used a mechanical lift for transfers. Resident #335 was occasionally incontinent of bowel and bladder. Resident #335 had an unstageable pressure ulcer (full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough [yellow, tan, gray, green or brown] and/or eschar [tan, brown or black] in the wound bed) to the sacrum and measurements were length 4.0 centimeters (cm) and width of 3.0 cm, with slough and MASD (moisture associated skin damage) surrounding. Review of Resident #335's care plan dated 03/08/23 included Resident #335 required the use of an antibiotic. Resident #335 took an antibiotic prophylactically for an ICD placement. Resident #335 would exhibit no signs or symptoms of side effects relating to antibiotics. Interventions included administering antibiotics as ordered and monitor and report signs and symptoms of antibiotic side effects. Further review of the care plan revealed no education or instruction for Resident #335's ICD and monitoring system. Observation on 03/13/23 at 3:09 P.M. of Resident #335's room revealed a white device with a button in the center of the device showing the color green. The device was placed on Resident #335's bedside table. When asked what the device was, Resident #335 stated he did not know what it was.

F 0726 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Interview on 03/13/23 at 3:09 P.M. of Registered Nurse (RN) #837 revealed she did not know what the white monitor was for that had a green button in the center of it which was placed on Resident #335's bedside table. Interview on 03/13/23 at 3:15 P.M. of the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed she did not know what the white device with the green button was for that was in Resident #335's room on the bedside table. The DON stated she would check in Resident #335 medical record to determine what it was. Interview on 03/13/23 at 3:30 P.M. of the DON revealed Resident #335 had an ICD placed, and the device came with the ICD. The DON stated the facility waited for the physician's office to call and give instructions on what the facility needed to do for the ICD. The DON stated she was not sure what the white device placed at Resident #335's bedside was for and was pretty sure the facility did not need to do anything with it. Interview on 03/16/23 at 11:49 A.M. of Manufacturer Representative (MR) #961 revealed Resident #335's ICD was placed ten days ago. MR #961 stated the white device with the green button was a monitoring device which sent information automatically about how the heart was working to the physician. MR #961 stated Resident #335 did not have to do anything with the monitoring device until instructions were given by the physician for manual transmission of the information. MR #961 stated the monitoring device needed to be within ten feet of Resident #335 when he was sleeping and to always ensure the button in the center of the device showed a green light. The green light was confirmation the device was working properly. MR #961 stated if the button showed a different color, Resident #335 would be contacted to let him know the device was not working correctly. MR #961 stated if a facility staff member or Resident #335 noticed the button light was not green, the manufacturer needed to be contacted immediately. MR #961 stated a smart phone could be used instead of the monitoring device, but it was easier to use the bedside monitoring device. Interview on 03/16/23 at 12:28 P.M. of Interim RN/Interim Minimum Data Set (MDS) Nurse (IRN/IMDS) #962 revealed Resident #335's white bedside monitoring device was a patient optional monitoring device that took information from Resident #335's implanted device and put it in the cloud. IRN/IMDS #962 stated the facility did not need to know anything about the device and it was tied to an app on a personal phone. Review of manufacturer's instructions included the white bedside monitoring device was a MyCareLink Relay Home Communicator and was an alternative monitoring option for patients who prefer not to use a smartphone. The instructions stated the MyCareLinkRelay must be plugged in, and patients must be within communication range for successful transmissions and the monitoring device required a Wi-Fi or cellular connection. Further review revealed increased patient adherence and save lives. Cardiac device patients who were not adherent with remote monitor transmissions would miss out on the following benefits: 50 percent potential increase in survival rate of patients, 35 percent potential reduction in emergency room visits, and 18 percent potential reduction in length of hospital stay.
