F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. Based on observations, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure residents with limited mobility received appropriate services, equipment, and assistance to maintain or improve mobility for one of two residents reviewed (Resident 84). Findings include: Review of Resident 84's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included cerebral infarction (a stroke-damage to the brain from interruption of its blood supply), anoxic brain damage (injury to the brain that occurs when the oxygen supply to the brain is compromised or interrupted), and muscle weakness. Review of Resident 84's physician orders revealed an order for Resident to wear bilateral resting hand splints during the day to prevent contracture of wrist and fingers. Approach: Bilateral resting hand splints to be worn four hours a day, three times a week. Off for self-care, ROM (range of motion), skin checks, monitor for skin breakdown, dated January 31, 2024. Observation of Resident 84 on February 20, 2024, at 10:38 AM, revealed that they had both of their hands closed and both of their hands were bent inwards toward the inner arm with no resting hand splints noted to be present on Resident 84, nor were they noted to be visible in Resident 84's room. Subsequent observations on February 20, 2024, at 2:07 PM; February 21, 2024, at 9:55 AM; and February 21, 2024, at 12:15 PM, all revealed the same findings as above. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on February 21, 2024, at 12:20 PM, the aforementioned observations were shared and splint documentation was requested. During a follow-up interview with the DON on February 21, 2024, at 12:36 PM, she indicated that the splints had been removed for care earlier and that they had now been reapplied. All additional observations above were again shared with the DON, and she said she would follow back up with nursing staff for additional information. During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and DON on February 21, 2024, at 2:00 PM, all aforementioned observations were shared and splint documentation was again requested. Observation of Resident 84 on February 22, 2024, at 9:15 AM, again revealed that they had both of their hands closed and both of their hands were bent inwards toward the inner arm with no resting hand splints noted to be present on Resident 84, nor were they noted to be visible in Resident 84's room. During an interview with the NHA and DON on February 22, 2024, at 10:21 AM, the observation of Resident 84 at 9:15 AM was shared and splint documentation was requested.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few splints were applied. When asked if they had documentation prior to yesterday in regard to Resident 84's splint program, the NHA indicated that this information was documented on paper and was located in a binder on the unit. He further indicated that Resident 84 did not have their splints on today because it was their rest day. Splint documentation was again requested for review. Review of Resident 84's Restorative Nursing form, undated but appeared to be February 2024's documentation, provided by the facility indicated that Resident 84's program was established on January 24, 2024, and that Resident 84's goals were: 1) PROM (passive range of motion)/AAROM (active assistive active range of motion) BUE's[bilateral upper extremities] and BLE's [bilateral lower extremities] and 2) will wear bilateral resting hand splints 4 hours during the day to prevent contractures of the wrist and fingers. The form also indicated that the frequency of the program was 2-3 times a week. Further review of this documentation revealed that Resident 84 was only documented as having their bilateral resting hand splints applied on February 2, 5, 9, 12, 13, and 20, 2024; that there were no documented refusals noted on the form; that their splints were not provided at a minimum of twice a week as ordered for the week of February 12-16, 2024; and as of February 22, 2024, at 1:00 PM, Resident 84 had only been provided their splints one time during the week of February 19-23, 2024. In addition, the form did not include the time applied or removed to ensure the ordered wearing schedule was followed. During a final interview with the NHA and DON on February 22, 2024, at 1:25 PM, the NHA confirmed that he would expect Resident 84's ordered splint wearing schedule to be followed and that he thought the information was in place to show documentation of the splint wearing times. He again shared that, as of yesterday, they made changes to show a time on and time off to ensure Resident 84's wearing schedule would be followed. 28 Pa.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure proper monitoring for acceptable parameters of nutritional status for one of 15 residents reviewed (Resident 20). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled Weights, last revised November 30, 2020, revealed, in part, Notify Medical Provider, RNAC (Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator), and Registered Dietitian within 24 hours, if the re-weight verifies a significant weight change for the resident. The Registered Dietitian will update/revise the resident's Care Plan to reflect the significant weight change, goals, and approached. Review of Resident 20's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included protein calorie malnutrition (an imbalance between the nutrients your body needs to function and the nutrients it gets), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (a form of diabetes that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin). Review of Resident 20's care plan revealed a focus area of: Feeding tube as a result of swallowing problems/dysphagia .and is at risk of .imbalanced nutrition. Physician documented malnutrition, last revised May 25, 2023, with an intervention for Dietitian to assess per policy and make recommendations as indicated, last revised June 22, 2018. Review of Resident 20's medical record revealed a significant weight gain of 12 pounds from November 4, 2023, to December 3, 2023, and then a significant weight loss of 21.4 pounds from January 2, 2024, to January 6, 2024, confirmed by a re-weigh measure on January 7, 2024. Review of Resident 20's clinical record failed to reveal any nutrition assessments in response to the aforementioned significant weight changes, and that no nutritional assessments were conducted on Resident 20 between the dates of November 17, 2023, and February 15, 2024; the significant weight changes were not mentioned in the nutritional assessment on February 15, 2024. During an interview with Employee 6 (Registered Dietitian) on February 22, 2024, at 10:14 AM, the surveyor revealed the concern with the lack of nutritional assessments completed in response to significant weight changes, and Employee 6 replied, I see where you are coming from. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on February 22, 2024, at 12:15 PM, revealed he would expect comprehensive nutritional assessments to be completed in response to significant weight changes. 28 Pa.

F 0698 Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain complete and accurate records related to dialysis communication for one of one residents reviewed for diapysis services (Resident 18). Residents Affected - Some Findings Include: Review of facility policy, titled Hemodialysis, with a last revision date of November 30, 2018, and a last review date of December 27, 2023, indicated under section titled Documentation that 1. The dialysis unit doing the dialysis will supply copy of their completed record for the patient chart; and 3. All patient observations, interventions, etc. will be recorded in the patient record. Review of Resident 18's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included end stage renal disease (ESRD-condition in which a person's kidneys cease functioning on a permanent basis) and bipolar disorder (a lifelong mood disorder and mental health condition that causes intense shifts in mood, energy levels, thinking patterns, and behaviors). Review of Resident 18's physician orders revealed the following orders: Dialysis (external filtering of the blood performed by a machine by removing the blood and replacing it) three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, at 5:30 AM, at US Renal Care, dated February 9, 2024 (their most recent readmission date). Further review of Resident 18's order history and medication administration records revealed that they had been receiving dialysis for the entire calendar year of 2023. Review of Resident 18's clinical record on February 21, 2024, at 12:15 PM, failed to reveal any dialysis communication notes/forms. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on February 21, 2024, at 12:20 PM, she indicated that communication sheets are completed to accompany the Resident to dialysis, but that these forms are kept in the dialysis center. She further indicated that a staff member accompanies Resident 18 to dialysis, so that is how they would know if there were any concerns with Resident 18 during their dialysis treatment. During a follow-up interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and DON on February 21, 2024, at 1:50 PM, the concern of no documentation to support facility communication or coordination of care with dialysis was shared. Additional information was requested. Email communication from the NHA on February 22, 2024, at 1:38 AM, included facility dialysis communication sheets dated February 13, 15, 17, and 20, 2024. No other documentation was provided. Review of Resident 18's nutritional assessments revealed that they had been assessed by the dietician on the following dates April 5, 2023; July 5, 2023; September 27, 2023; November 20 and 27, 2023; December 28, 2023; January 18 and 25, 2024; and February 5 and 14, 2024 (a total of ten assessments).

Review of Resident 18's clinical record progress notes failed to reveal any nutritional notes addressing dialysis or communication with the dialysis dietician since March 20, 2023, which was in the previous survey year. During an interview with the NHA and DON on February 22, 2024, at 10:27 AM, the concern of the lack of documentation to show communication between the dietician here and the dialysis dietician was shared to include the aforementioned nutritional assessments and nutrition notes. It was also shared at that time that only four dialysis communications sheets had been provided and that more would be needed for review. He indicated that they have a binder of them, which was requested for review. The DON indicated that she would get the binder for review. During an interview with the Employee 6 (Registered Dietician) on February 22, 2024, at 11:04 AM, she indicated that she maintains contact with the dialysis dietician, but confirmed that she could not provide any documentation to support this. She also confirmed that her nutritional assessments did not all indicate that Resident 18 was receiving dialysis, and that there were no dietary progress notes outside of her assessments that referenced any documentation regarding communication with the dialysis dietician since March 20, 2023. During a follow-up interview with the NHA on February 22, 2024 at 11:45 AM, he confirmed that he had no binder or dialysis communication sheets to provide. He provided copies of Resident 18's clinical progress notes that were documented under Note Type: Dialysis that showed nurses' notes that the Resident went to dialysis. It was discussed that all these notes had been reviewed, but that these notes did not indicate any communication with the dialysis center and were sporadic. The concern that there was no evidence of ongoing communication between the facility and the dialysis center each day that Resident 18 was emphasized again. The NHA indicated that the dialysis center used to send a report over after every dialysis treatment, but that when a new person took over at dialysis, that person determined that they [dialysis center] did not need to be sending those documents and stopped doing so. During a final interview with the NHA and DON on February 22, 2024, at 12:10 PM, the NHA confirmed that he had no additional documentation to provide to show collaboration or communication with the dialysis center and the facility nursing staff or facility dietician. He confirmed that he would expect this communication to occur and that documentation should be present to support the ongoing coordination of nursing and nutritional care. 28 Pa.
