The facility failed to ensure Resident #108's weight bearing status to her fractured right arm was addressed on the baseline care plan. This failure could place residents at risk of increased pain, and worsening of fractures. Findings include: Record review of Resident #108's face sheet, dated 12/11/2024, indicated a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #108 had diagnoses which included fracture of the right humerus (right upper arm), muscle weakness, unsteadiness on feet and the lack of coordination. Record review of Resident #108's Baseline Care Plan, dated 11/26/2024, indicated Resident #108 desired to discharge back home, advance directive status was a full code status, had a risk for ADL/mobility performance impairment due to a fracture, used a wheelchair as an assistive device, required physical assistance with bed mobility, transfers, toileting, locomotion, was independent with eating, and was totally dependent with bathing. The Baseline Care Plan Indicated Resident #108 had risk factors for falls due to severe weakness/deconditioning and had the potential to fall. The Baseline Care Plan did not indicate Resident #108's weight bearing status to the fractured right arm.

During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 2:52 p.m., the Treatment Nurse said she had been a charge nurse recently and provided care to the residents. The Treatment Nurse said she provided care to Resident #108. The treatment nurse said she was not aware of Resident #108's weight bearing status to the right arm fracture. The treatment nurse said the care plan should reflect a weight bearing status to prevent further injury. The treatment nurse said the baseline care plan should indicate the care a resident required and was on-going. During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 3:12 p.m., the DON said the process was when an admission came therapy evaluated the needs of the resident and provided recommendations. The DON said if therapy failed to make recommendations, then the physician should be notified for weight bearing orders. The DON said the baseline care plan would implement safety and prevention of injury or re-injury. The DON said she had not formulated a process for reviewing the baseline care plans since she was newly appointed to her position. The DON said she was responsible for ensuring the baseline care plan was completed and accurately reflected the resident's needs. During an interview on 12/12/2024 at 10:04 a.m., the Administrator said Resident #108's weight bearing status should be part of the baseline care plan. The baseline care plan would direct Resident #108's care and would especially direct the care of her fractured arm. The Administrator said she expected therapy, after the evaluation to address weight bearing restrictions. The Administrator said it should be reviewed by nursing and again in the management morning meeting. During an interview on 12/12/2024 at 10:30 a.m., the OTA said she was unable to local the weight bearing status for Resident #108. The OTA said staff should be aware of the weight bearing status to prevent further complications.

The facility failed to update Resident #37's Care Plan to reflect a history of Staph dermatitis (an infection caused by staphylococcus bacteria) with interventions for the antibiotic use and the staff to monitor the resident for possible Staph symptoms. This deficient practice could place residents at risk of not receiving the care and services they needed. Findings include: Record review of Resident #37's face sheet, dated 10/10/24, indicated a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #37 had diagnoses which included cerebral infarction (a stroke resulting from disrupted blood flow in the brain), hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body), chronic respiratory failure (condition in which the lungs cannot get enough oxygen in the blodd stream) and diabetes mellitus type 2 (a disease that results in problems controlling blood sugar levels). Record review of Resident #37's care plan, last revised 07/08/24, indicated he had an ADL self-care deficit and required total assistance from 2 staff for bed mobility, toileting, transfers, bathing and set up assistance for eating. The care plan did not indicate a diagnosis of staph dermatitis or interventions. Record review of Resident #37's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], indicated he could make himself understood and he usually understood others. Resident #37 had a BIMS score of 9, which meant he had moderately impaired cognition. Record review of Resident #37's order summary report, dated 12/10/24, indicated he had an order for Bactrim DS Oral tablet 800-160mg (Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim) Give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for staph dermatitis 14 days. During an interview on 12/11/24 at 02:20 PM, the Medical Director for the facility said he expected the facility to be aware of Resident #37's diagnosis for staph dermatitis as well as the antibiotic Bactrim DS while in use. He said he cultured Resident #37 in the past for the infection and did not feel he needed to do so again because it did not completely go away. The Medical Director said the staff should have been made aware of the diagnosis when he gave orders for the antibiotic used for staph dermatitis. During an interview on 12/11/24 at 02:47 PM, the DON said Resident #37 should have had the antibiotic and the staph dermatitis infection on his care plan.

The employee file indicated NA EE had completed the CNA training course on 04/26/24 but no evidence of the certification. During an interview on 12/12/24 at 11:00 AM NA EE said she had been working at the facility from 4/1/24 up until last week on 12/07/24 providing care for residents to include bathing, transfers, incontinent care, and repositioning. She said the facility notified her on 12/07/24 that she could no longer work as a CNA until she passed her clinical portion of the CNA course which was scheduled for January 17, 2025. During an interview on 12/12/24 at 12:43 PM the DON said NA EE was supposed to be working as a hospitality aide and thought the hospitality aide could work together with a certified CNA, but she said she found the hospitality aides were not allowed to do so. The DON said she was only aware that she was observing showers and incontinent care and not performing incontinent care and showers. The DON said her expectation was for the staff to know if they were uncertified, and they were supposed to grab a certified staff when residents needed the hands-on care completed. The DON said the failure placed a risk for resident safety issues and risk for physical harm. The DON said the Human Resources Director monitored the CNA certifications and the individuals were responsible for ensuring that they were certified. She said she had a conversation with NA EE and other NAS that had completed the CNA course and notified them that they could not provide any personal care for residents. The DON said NA EE failed the skills part of her course on 12/6/24 and she was notified on that day that she could not provide any care. During an interview on 12/12/24 at 12:54 PM The Administrator said she had a phone conversation with the aide to ensure she did not provide care on 12/1/24. She said the Human Resource Director was involved and responsible for monitoring and ensuring the CNAs had their certifications. The expectation was for the aide to not be providing care for residents as she was told. The Administrator said she did not just let her go from the position because it was Christmas time and she needed her hours, but she expected her to be completing hospitality duties. The Administrator said the failure placed risks to the residents' safety and continuity of care to ensure they were providing proper services.

The facility failed to maintain Resident #38's hospice binder containing information related to hospice services provided for the resident such as the most recent plan of care, hospice election form, and physician recertification. These deficient practices could place residents who receive hospice services at risk of receiving inadequate end-of-life care due to a lack of documentation, coordination of care, and communication of resident needs. The findings included: Record review of Resident #38's face sheet, dated 12/11/24 indicated Resident #38 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included dementia (the loss of cognitive functioning - thinking, remembering, and reasoning), depression (sadness), anxiety (uneasiness or fear), and high blood pressure. Record review of Resident #38's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 11/23/24, indicated Resident #38 rarely understood and was rarely understood by others. Resident #38 had short and long-term memory loss indicating she was cognitively impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #38 required total or extensive assistance with his ADL's. The MDS indicated Resident #38 was on hospice services. Record review of Resident #38's comprehensive care plan dated 06/25/24 indicated Resident #38 had a terminal prognosis and was on hospice services. The intervention was to work cooperatively with the hospice team to ensure the resident's spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical, and social needs were met, assist with ADLs, and provide comfort measures as needed. Record review of Resident #38's physician orders dated 06/06/24 indicated an order for {name} hospice. Record review of Resident #38's hospice binder revealed it did not have the Physician certification of the terminal illness, care plan, or Hospice election form.

She said it was important to have the binders at the facility to help the facility know the care and services they were providing. During an interview on 12/11/24 at 11:58 a.m., LVN W said the hospice book should include the code status, bath schedules, sign-in sheet for the nurses and aides, the medication list with their orders, diets, and face sheets. She said any information the hospice company had for Resident #38 should be at the facility because our care was combined, and we needed to ensure we were meeting the needs of our residents. During an interview on 12/11/24 at 12:08 p.m., the DON said she expected the hospice documents to be at the facility. The DON said it was the responsibility of the hospice company to ensure their documents were at the facility timely and then it was the nurse manager's responsibility to ensure that was being completed. The DON said the failure to ensure those documents were at the facility was due to a lack of communication with the facility and the hospice company. She said all information done by hospice should be at the facility for care coordination. During an interview on 12/11/24 at 3:32 p.m., the Administrator said it was the facility's responsibility to ensure all hospice documents were up to date. She said the nurse managers were the overseers of the process. She said the books should be updated because they reflect the care the resident should be receiving. Record review of the facility policy titled, Coordination of Hospice Services, dated 03/12/22, indicated, Policy: When a resident chooses to receive hospice care and services, the facility will coordinate and provide care in cooperation with hospice staff in order to promote the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.

During an interview on 12/11/24 at 01:58 PM CNA Q said she should have used hand sanitizer each time she changed her gloves as they were supposed to. CNA Q said she thought about her needing her hand sanitizer during care, but she had left it in the dining room. CNA Q said the purpose of using the hand sanitizer was to prevent infection between the clean and the dirty surfaces. During an interview on 12/11/24 at 02:44 PM the DON said her expectation was for the staff to wear the proper PPE and to follow the policy for incontinent care. She said all CNAs should always use hand sanitizer between glove changes as well as before and after care. The DON said the failure placed Resident #47 at risk for cross contamination or infection.
