This survey cited 7 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 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, review of the clinical record, and interview with staff, it was determined that the facility failed to develop a plan of care with interventions for two of 31 residents reviewed (Residents 26 and 93). Findings include: Observation on September 22, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. revealed Resident 26 was receiving oxygen at 2 liters per minute through a nasal cannula (device used to deliver supplemental oxygen or increased airflow to a person in need of respiratory help). Review of Resident 26's physician's orders included an order for oxygen at 2 Liter/minute via nasal cannula PRN (as needed). Review of the Resident 26's current active care plan failed to reveal a care plan or interventions for oxygen therapy. Interview with the Director of Nursing on September 25, 2024, at 9:50 a.m. confirmed that Resident 26 did not have a care plan for oxygen therapy. Observation of Resident 93 on September 22, 2024, at 10:05 a.m. revealed the resident had a left wrist contracture (permanent tightening of the muscles, tendons, skin, and surrounding tissues that causes the joints to shorten and stiffen). Review of Resident 93's clinical record including progress notes revealed a nurse's note dated August 13, 2024, which indicated, [Nurse] was made aware by bedside nurse that resident's left wrist is contracted and swollen. This bedside nurse does not know patient and asked an aide if this was resident's usual presentation. One aide stated no that is new, another aide stated that it has been like that for about 3 weeks. [Nurse] assessed and left wrist is a little swollen. [Resident 93] did not let [nurse] touch the wrist. Further review of Resident 93's progress notes revealed a nurse's note on August 16, 2024, which stated: Hospice nurse stated to roll up a washcloth and put in his hand to slow the progression of the contracture. Review of Resident 93's current active care plan failed to reveal a care plan addressing the resident's contracture and limited range of motion.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of Resident 93's [NAME] (tool used to instruct nurse aides on providing care to residents) revealed an intervention to apply a rolled up washcloth in left hand daily to slow progression of the contracture. Observations of Resident 93 on September 22, 2024, at 10:05 a.m. and on September 25, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. revealed the resident did not have a rolled up washcloth in the left hand.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of facility policy and procedure and clinical record and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to safely reheat a beverage for one of 32 residents reviewed causing actual harm to Resident 32 who developed a 2nd degree burn. Findings Include: Review of facility policy and procedure titled Microwave Use, undated, revealed staff should remove beverage from microwave, uncover, stir and insert thermometer probe into center of beverage item ensuring contact with beverage only. Check digital display for a maximum temperature of <165. Let sit for three minutes before serving.

[Resident] states, I asked him to heat up my coffee and I spilled it on myself. [Resident] reports [he/she] burned both [his/her] butt cheeks. Further review of Resident 32's progress notes revealed a skin and wound note dated July 10, 2024 at 10:08 a.m. indicating staff reports resident sustained burns to bilateral (both) buttocks due to coffee on July 9. An assessment of the wound included in the progress note read as follows: wound 4, left buttock, 2nd degree burn, 16 cm (centimeters), x 16 cm x 0.1 cm. 60% erythema (redness), 20% intact fluid filled blister, 20% epithelial (pink or pearly white tissue and wrinkles when touched).

He heated it up and when he returned Resident 32 said it wasn't hot enough, so he heated up and again Resident 32 said it was not hot enough. When he heated it up a third time, he left it on the bedside table for Resident 32 because it was the end of the shift. On September 24, 2024 at 11:30 a.m. the facility was asked to provide any evidence the beverage was temperature tested each time it was heated up by the nursing Employee E4. The Director of Nursing stated, we do not have logs for when (Nursing Employee E4) heated up the coffee for Resident 32 and a statement was taken from (Nursing Employee E4) but was unable to be found.
