Residents Affected - Few
Notify the resident or the resident’s representative in writing how long the nursing home will hold the
resident’s bed in cases of transfer to a hospital or therapeutic leave.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to notify residents or their responsible party of the facility's bed
hold policy. This affected one resident (Resident #42) of two reviewed for hospitalization. The facility census
was 43.
Findings include:
Record review revealed Resident #42 was admitted on [DATE]. Diagnoses included chronic respiratory
failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Review of Resident #42's progress notes revealed on
05/25/19 the resident was sent to the hospital via emergency medical services (911) per physician order for
difficulty breathing, low oxygen saturation and diminished lung sounds. There was no documentation found
in the medical record the resident and/or family member was notified of the facility's bed hold policy.
Interview on 07/01/19 at 12:05 P.M. with Social Service Director (SSD) #559 verified there was no evidence
of bed hold policy notification for Resident #42 when he was admitted to the hospital 05/25/19. SSD #559
revealed the facility had not been notifying family representatives of the bed hold policy.
Review of facility's undated bed hold policy revealed the responsible party of the resident would be notified
by certified mail on the day of the transfer or the day after the transfer. Notification would inform responsible
parties of the transfer, the bed hold restriction and number of available bed hold days.

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
staff interview, record review, and policy review the facility failed to complete pre-dialysis and post-dialysis
assessments for one resident (Resident #15) of two residents reviewed for dialysis care. The facility census
was 42.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
Resident #15 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including diabetes, dialysis dependent
due to chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, and seizures. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0
quarterly comprehensive assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was moderately cognitively
impaired, needed extensive assistance for all personal care, and required dialysis treatments three times a
week. Review of the progress notes from 06/01/19 through 07/02/19 revealed no documentation regarding
Resident #15's dialysis port, if any bleeding was noted at the site, where the site was located, or
assessments completed both before and after the resident returned from dialysis.
Interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) on 07/01/19 at 4:30 P.M. revealed Resident #15's
dialysis provider did not provide the facility with updates regarding the resident's dialysis treatments on a
routine basis. They submitted them to the facility approximately every six months. The facility requested
monthly updates from the provider without success.
Review of the facility's Policy # RC-30.0 Hemodialysis Therapy, dated 01/01/17, revealed no documentation
requirements for nurses to complete with each dialysis treatment.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on 07/02/19 at 10:25 A.M. confirmed nursing has not been assessing
Resident #15 either prior to leaving for dialysis or upon return to the facility after dialysis treatment had
been completed.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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 proper infection control measures for
respiratory equipment for two residents (Resident #22 and Resident #1) of eight receiving respiratory
treatments.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. Record review revealed Resident #22 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of dementia, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and paralysis of the right side. There was a physician order for
duoneb, an aerosol breathing treatment used for COPD, to be administered three times a day.
Observation on 06/30/19 at 10:35 P.M. of Resident's #22's room revealed a nebulizer machine (device used
to deliver breathing treatments) on the floor next to the bed. The mask through which the medicated mist
was inhaled was covered in a plastic bag.
Interview on 06/30/19 with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #586 revealed the nebulizer machine was
usually kept on the tray table, someone removed the table and set the machine on the floor.
2. Record review revealed Resident #1 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD), respiratory failure, and sleep apnea. The quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS)
3.0 assessment revealed the resident had a diagnosis of pneumonia and used oxygen and a BiPap/CPAP
for treatment of sleep apnea. There was a physician order for a ventilation device to be applied four hours
during the day and continuously at bedtime.
Observation of Resident #1's room on 06/30/19 at 10:35 P.M. and on 07/01/19 at 10:45 A.M. revealed a
portable ventilator device attached to a pole with a wire basket underneath that contained an uncovered
full-face mask.
Interview with Assistant Director of Nursing # 514 on 07/01/19 at 10:50 A.M. verified that no protective
