F 0582 Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Based on clinical record reviews and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide the required notice to the resident or the resident's representative following the end of their Medicare coverage for two of two residents reviewed (Residents 62, 95) who remained in the facility for long-term care. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: A Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Beneficiary Protection Notification Review form, completed by the facility and dated July 30, 2024, revealed that Medicare coverage for Resident 62 started on July 11, 2024, and that her last covered day was July 30, 2024.

Based on review of policies, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain a clean and homelike environment for two of 38 residents reviewed (Residents 1, 39). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The facility's policy regarding cleaning and disinfecting, dated March 15, 2024, indicated that the facility was to provide a safe, comfortable, homelike environment. A quarterly Minimum data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 1, dated September 3, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact, required staff assistance for care needs, used a wheelchair, and had diagnoses that included cerebral palsy (CP - neurological disorder that affects a person's ability to move, balance, and maintain posture.) Observations on September 30, 2024, at 1:24 p.m. revealed that the resident was sitting in his electric wheelchair in his room. The carpet in his room was black and worn. An interview with the resident at the time revealed that he felt that the carpet was very dirty, and that the facility was planning on replacing the carpet with a different kind of flooring. Observations and interview with Resident 1 on October 1, 2024, at 3:30 p.m. revealed that the carpet in his room was still black and worn and that staff had attempted to clean the carpet but it had not changed the condition of it. Interview with the Director of Maintenance on October 2, 2024, at 9:01 a.m. revealed that the carpet in Resident 1's room was very dirty and had been shampooed multiple times, but due to the current condition of the carpet, the ground-in dirt could not be removed. The Director of Maintenance also stated that the facility has discussed replacing the floor with a vinyl type of flooring, but there was no discussed timeline, no estimates, or planned work schedules. An annual MDS assessment for Resident 39, dated September 24, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact and had diagnoses that included congestive obstructive pulmonary disease (a lung disease that makes it difficult to breath) and a history of congestive heart failure (a condition when the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs).

Observations on October 2, 2024, at 10:45 a.m., 11:50 a.m., and 2:30 p.m. revealed that Resident 39 was lying in her bed with a stand-up fan blowing directly on her. The fan was noted to have a moderate amount of visible dirt and debris accumulated on the blade cover. Interview with the Director of Maintenance on October 2, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. revealed that cleaning fans used by residents was not on their scheduled work list; however, if they are made aware of a dirty fan, they would then clean it. Interview with the Director of Housekeeping on October 2, 2024, at 3:25 p.m. revealed that the fan belonged to Resident 39. She remarked that cleaning resident fans is not on their list of duties; however, if they are made aware of a dirty fan, they would then clean it.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals. Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to revise/update care plans for two of 38 residents reviewed (Residents 39, 61). Findings include: The facility's policy regarding care plans, dated March 15, 2024, indicated that nurses and interdisciplinary team members were responsible for updating the resident's care plan to reflect changes in the resident's status. A significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 39, dated September 24, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively intact, required assistance from staff for her daily care needs, and had diagnoses that included, heart failure, and chronic pain.

F 0867 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop corrective plans of action. Based on review of the facility's plans of correction and the results of the current survey, it was determined that the facility's Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) committee failed to correct quality deficiencies and ensure that plans to improve the delivery of care and services effectively addressed recurring deficiencies.
