Honor the resident's right to share a room with spouse or roommate of choice and receive written notice
before a change is made.
Based on clinical record review and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the failed to
provide reasonable notice to a resident in advance of facility initiated room changes and failed to ensure
that in preparation for room change each resident/resident representative received written notice, including
the reason for the change before the resident's room was changed for two of five sampled residents
(Residents A1 and A2).
Findings include:
Federal regulatory guidance notes that moving to a new room or changing roommates is challenging for
residents. A resident's preferences should be taken into account when considering such changes. When a
resident is being moved at the request of facility staff, the resident, family, and/or resident representative
must receive an explanation in writing of why the move is required. The resident should be provided the
opportunity to see the new location, meet the new roommate, and ask questions about the move.
Review of the facility admission Packet, provided to each resident upon admission to the facility, indicated
that the facility reserves the right and discretion to transfer a resident to another room or bed within the
facility, and the right and discretion to transfer residents and resident roommates, if any, at any time
consistent with the needs of the facility, subject to resident's rights to roommates of choice where
practicable and agreeable to both.
At the time of the survey ending June 27, 2023, all beds in the facility were licensed and dually certified for
participation in both the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
During an interview on June 27, 2023 at 10:00 AM Resident A1, a cognitively intact resident, stated that her
room was recently changed and that the facility did not inform her of why her room needed to be changed.
Resident A1 stated that she resided in the window bed (which she preferred) in her prior room and was
now in the bed by the door. Resident A1 stated that the facility did not provide any written advance notice of
the need for her room to be changed.
Review of Resident A1's clinical record revealed that the resident's room was changed from the South Hall
to the North Hall on June 23, 2023.
During an interview on June 27, 2023, at 2:00 PM Resident A2, a cognitively intact resident, confirmed that
her room was recently changed. Resident A2 stated that she had no idea why her room needed to be
changed. Resident A2 confirmed that she was not provided any written advance notice of the need for her
room to be changed.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of select facility policy and grievances lodged with the facility and staff interview it was
determined that the facility failed to inform a resident and their interested representative of the facility's
response to a grievance lodged or its procedures for the timing of grievance resolution as evidenced by one
of 27 residents sampled (Resident CR1).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the facility's current Grievance policy last reviewed by the facility March 2023 revealed that the
facility will ensure prompt resolution of all grievances, keeping the resident and representitive informed
through the investigation and resolution process. The grievance official will complete a written response to
the resident or resident representative.
A review of a grievance form dated April 27, 2023, revealed that Resident CR1's representative (his wife)
filed a grievance with the facility regarding concerns with multiple resident care and services issues. The
resident and his wife documented on the grievance that Our expectations are to receive written
confirmation of your investigation and process improvement plan to ensure all residents safety. The form
was then signed and dated April 27, 2023, by the resident and his wife.
Further review revealed that the resident was discharged to home on the following day, on April 28, 2023.
At the time of the survey ending June 27, 2023, there was no documented evidence that the facility had
informed the resident and their representative of the outcome of the facility's investigation into the grievance
they filed with the facility on April 27, 2023. There was no indication that the facility had provided the
resident and his wife a status update to their grievance at the time of the resident's discharge from the
facility or had informed them that because the resident was being discharged , the facility did not intend to
provide them notice of the grievance resolution as requested.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on June 27, 2023, at 12:30 PM revealed that
because the resident was discharged from the facility on April 28, 2023, prior to the facility's completion of
the grievance investigation, the facility did not have to notify the resident or his wife of the outcome of the
grievance, despite their request to be informed of the resolution at the time the complaint was lodged on
April 27, 2023, prior to the resident's discharge.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to include the
resident's discharge planning in the comprehensive care plan of one resident out of five reviewed (Resident
D5).
Findings include:
A review of the clinical record revealed Resident D5 was admitted to the facility March 14, 2023, with a
diagnoses to include sepsis (a condition in which the immune system has a dangerous reaction to an
infection).
Review of the admission Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-a federally mandated standardized
assessment process conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) dated March 20, 2023, revealed
that the resident was cognitively intact, with a BIMS score (Brief Interview for Mental Status - a tool to
assess cognitive function) of 15.
According to the MDS assessment, Section Q: Participation in Assessment and Goal Setting, the resident
expects to discharge to another facility and that active discharge planning was occurring.
A review of Resident D5's comprehensive care plan conducted on June 27, 2023, revealed that the
resident's current care plan did not address a plan for the resident's discharge.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide nursing
services consistent with professional standards of practice by failing to implement planned interventions to
prevent the development of a pressure area and evaluate the potential causative factors for pressure sore
development by one of two sampled residents with pressure wounds (Resident B1).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
According to the American Nurses Association Principles for Nursing Documentation, nurses document
their work and outcomes and provide an integrated, real-time method of informing the health care team
about the patient status. Timely documentation of the following types of information should be made and
maintained in a patient's EHR (electronic health record) to support the ability of the health care team to
ensure informed decisions and high-quality care in the continuity of patient care:
· Assessments
· Clinical problems
· Communications with other health care professionals regarding
the patient
· Communication with and education of the patient, family, and the patient ' s designated support
person and other third parties.
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident B1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included dementia and diabetes.
The resident had a physician order dated May 18, 2023, for hospice care due to cerebral vascular accident
(a stroke).
A Significant Change Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized
assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) dated May 16, 2023, revealed that the
resident was severely cognitively impaired, required staff assistance for activities of daily living, had no
pressure sores and was at risk for the development of pressure areas.
A review of Resident B1's plan of care initiated June 1, 2022, revealed that the resident was at risk for
alteration in skin integrity related to a history of falls, incontinence. Planned interventions were to
assess/record/monitor wound healing, measure length, width and depth where possible, and assess and
document status of wound perimeter, wound bed and healing progress. The goal was that the resident's
skin will remain free of breakdown within limits of disease process and interventions were also noted as
encourage/assist to suspend/float heels as able when in bed, observe for changes in skin condition and
report abnormalities.
A review of a outside consultant wound report (which are utilized as the facility's wound tracking) dated May
29, 2023, revealed that Resident B1 had a 9 cm x 7 cm area on the right heel, purple/maroon area of
discolored intact skin with blood-filled blister roof. The wound edges are adherent to

the base, no drainage, periwound without erythema (redness), crepitus (air gets trapped under the skin
causing a crackling sound), edema (swelling) or induration ( refers to the thickening and hardening of soft
tissues of the body, specifically the skin). Patient does not demonstrate evidence of pain when the wound is
palpated.
A review of a facility investigation report dated May 24, 2023 at 6:38 P.M. revealed Resident B1 had an
open blister on the outer aspect of her right heel measuring 4 cm x 9 cm. The skin appeared boggy.
The immediate action taken noted were that the resident's heels elevated while in bed, site measured by
nursing staff and the physician notified and a treatment put into place. A communication placed to the
contract wound nurse to see the resident for wound rounds and the nursing staff was educated on elevating
the residents heels off the bed.
The report also noted that Resident B1 had a recent health decline and placed on hospice. Resident B1
does not self position according to the investigation report.
Prior to pressure sore development, there was no documented evidence that the facility staff had
consistently implemented the care planned measures to prevent the development of the blister on the
resident's heel. There was no evidence that staff were elevating the resident's heels off the bed or
consistent turning and repositioning the resident.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on June 27, 2023, at approximately 2 PM revealed that the DON
stated that Residents B1's health was declining and was recently placed on hospice services, but was
unable to demonstrate that the facility had consistently implemented measures planned to prevent pressure
sores for this resident identified at risk for skin breakdown prior to being admitted to hospice care.
