charge on each shift.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, medical record review, staffing schedule review, review of the facility assessment, and family,
resident, and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure there was adequate staffing to provide activities of
daily living (ADL) care for Residents #5, #12, #19, and #39. This affected four residents (#5, #12, #19, and
#39) of seven residents reviewed for ADL care with the potential to affect all 46 residents. The facility
census was 46.
Findings include:
1. On 08/05/24 at 5:40 A.M., observation of staff revealed there were three licensed nurses, four State
Tested Nursing Assistants (STNAs) and two STNAs in training on duty to provide care for 46 residents
currently residing in the facility. The facility identified 15 residents that required assistance or were
dependent on staff for feeding and 29 residents that required the assistance of two staff for toileting and
transfers.
2. The following family and resident concerns were lodged during the investigation related to facility staffing.
2a. Interview on 08/05/24 at 9:11 A.M. with a family member of Resident #15 revealed the facility was short
staffed. A family member or a family hired a caregiver who visited Resident #15 for the breakfast and dinner
meals to ensure Resident #15 was fed. The family member stated there was not enough staff to ensure all
the residents were assisted with meals. Resident #15 had a camera in the room and the family member
stated they had observed staff eating Resident #15's sandwich at lunch time and not assisting Resident
#15 with lunch. Resident #15 would be observed in bed without the head of bed raised when a lunch tray
was provided. The family member stated they had observed two residents with feces on their body and staff
would just close the resident's doors until they had time to provide care. The family member stated there
had been multiple medication errors due to the staff working long hours. The family member stated they just
wanted Resident #15 fed, provided incontinence care, and repositioned. There were times Resident #15
was not provided incontinence care or repositioning from the time someone left after breakfast until they
returned for the dinner meal. The family hired caregivers to provide showers for Resident #15 due to the
lack of staffing.
2b. Interview on 08/05/24 at 12:26 P.M. with a family member of Resident #7 revealed Resident #7 had
aspirated on medications within the last week. A nurse brought medication in and then left before Resident
#7 had swallowed the pills. An STNA happened to come in and found Resident #7 choking and rendered
aid. The family member stated Resident #7 was not getting regular showers but now received hospice
services and should receive regular bathing. Resident #7 was provided incontinence care before breakfast,
around 4:00 P.M. and when put to bed in the evening. The family member stated there was a camera in the
room and there were many nights a staff member never checked on Resident #7 after Resident #7 was put
to bed. The family member stated a family member visited every day at lunch and dinner to ensure
Resident #7 was fed.
2c. Interview on 08/05/24 at 1:03 P.M. with Resident #39 revealed they were not showered very often
because there was not enough help. Resident #39 stated they needed assistance with eating and had gone
without a meal because there was not enough staff to feed Resident #39.
