Based on a review of grievances lodged with the facility and select facility policy and resident and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to demonstrate timely and adequate efforts to resolve resident grievances for two residents out of 16 sampled. (Resident 2 and 11) Findings include: A review of facility policy entitled Resident and Family Grievances revealed the staff member receiving the grievance will record the nature and specifics of the grievance on the designated grievance form or assist the resident or family member to complete the form. The staff will forward the grievance form to the grievance official as soon as practicable. The grievance official takes steps to resolve the grievance and record information about the grievance and those actions on the grievance form. In accordance with the residents right to retain a written decision regarding his or her grievance, the grievance official will issue a written decision of the grievance to the resident or representative at the conclusion of the investigation. The written decision will include at a minimum, the date the grievance was received, the steps taken to investigate the grievance, a summary of pertinent findings or conclusions regarding the resident's concerns, a statement to whether the grievance was confirmed or not confirmed, any corrective action taken by the facility as a result of the grievance, and the date the written decision was issued.

During an interview with Resident 2 on February 28, 2024, at 10:15 a.m., the resident stated that the specialized bariatric shower sling for bilateral amputees he requires for transfers has been missing from his room since early January 2024. He stated that staff have not been able to locate his shower sling for a few months and that the specialty sling was being used to shower him, but then that sling would get wet and would need to be sent to laundry to be cleaned and then unavailable for staff to use to get him out of bed.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a review of clinical records and select facility policy and resident and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to provide timely care and necessary resident care supplies for effective incontinence management for one resident out of 16 sampled (Resident 2). Findings included: A review of a facility policy entitled Urinary and Bowel Incontinence last reviewed by the facility on October 3, 2023, indicated that it was the policy of the facility that once a resident was identified as incontinent, staff would develop a plan of care to manage issues with incontinence and provide the appropriate treatment and services to meet the resident's toileting needs. A review of Resident 2's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included diabetes, congestive heart failure and above the knee amputation of the right leg and below the knee amputation of the left leg. The resident's plan of care for ADL (activities of daily living include bathing, dressing, combing hair, etc.) assistance initiated July 7, 2022, and revised November 12, 2023, indicated that Resident 2 had an ADL self-care deficit related to an amputation of the right leg and a below the knee amputation of the left leg with a noted goal that the resident would have his personal ADL needs met with the assistance of staff, while promoting his highest level of functioning and dignity. Resident 2 required two-persons assist for personal care and hygiene with planned interventions that included the use of a mechanical Hoyer lift with use of an amputee/shower sling for all transfers. The resident's care plan for the problem of bowel incontinence initiated July 11, 2023, indicated that the resident would be maintained in a clean, and dry, and dignified state as possible. Planned bowel incontinence interventions were to check the resident every two-hours and as required for incontinence and to wash, rinse, and dry perineum (is the space between the anus and the genitals) and to apply barrier cream after each episode, change clothing as needed (PRN) after incontinence episodes, and to use disposable briefs for containment and dignity. During an interview with Resident 2 on February 28, 2024, at 10:25 a.m., the resident stated that on Sunday February 11, 2024, he sat in a soiled brief with feces for over two hours, from 7:15 a.m. until 9 a.m. and was very uncomfortable and itchy. The resident stated that the nurse aides could not locate any of his proper sized bariatric briefs, the package with the white colored coding on the packaging. Resident 2 reported that he sat without a brief on due because there were no bariatric briefs available at the facility. Resident 2 relayed that the staff didn't locate bariatric sized briefs until the second shift on Sunday, February 11, 2024, the aides found briefs with the green color coded on the packaging and were a size smaller than what I needed. The aides left the brief closures opened because they (briefs) didn't fit around my belly. An observation of Resident 2's closet revealed that the green color smaller sized briefs were present and not the properly sized white bariatric briefs the resident required. An interview with Employee 1, a nurse aide (NA), on February 28, 2024, at 10:35 a.m., confirmed that the facility did not have the correct sized briefs available for Resident 2.

She reported that she has been a resident at the facility for 7 months and the facility has completely run out of my insulin 3 times and they ask me to call my son to bring in my insulin from home. Today, the nurse said they ran out and could my son bring it in. Resident 8 expressed frustration that she does not understand how the facility keeps running out, why an order is not placed before they run out, and why they cannot order it from local pharmacy instead of asking her to call her son. The resident reported she no longer has any insulin at home because her son bought in all she had the other times the facility ran out. She stated, I've asked them before why they can't order it from the local pharmacy, and they tell me they have to get from a pharmacy in New Jersey. During an interview with Employee 6 (licensed practical nurse) on February 28, 2024, at approximately 12:20 PM, she confirmed that she administered the last dose of Residents 8's insulin available in the facility during her morning medication pass this date.
