This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 2 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs in order attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for one (Resident #1) of eight residents reviewed for care plans. The facility failed to ensure CNA A followed Resident #1's comprehensive care plan to ensure safe mechanical lift transfers. The facility failed to ensure CNA A followed Resident #1's comprehensive care plan which required two-person shower assists, which caused Resident #1 to fall from the shower bed and sustained a frontal scalp hematoma and laceration on her forehead which required 3 stitches. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) and Substandard Quality of Care (SQC) was identified on 06/21/2024. While the IJ was removed on 06/22/2024 at 5:51 PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a severity level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy due to the facility continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their plan of removal. These failures could place residents at risk of unsafe transfers resulting in major injuries and / or death. Findings include: Record review of Resident #1's Face Sheet dated 06/21/2024, reflected a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included: quadriplegia (loss of muscle control, the brain cannot manage any automatic processes that rely on brain signaling), anoxic brain damage (caused be complete lack of oxygen to the brain), anxiety disorder (type of mental health condition), hypothyroidism (thyroid gland does not create and release enough thyroid hormone), tracheostomy status (a hole in the neck to provide oxygen to the lungs safely), gastrostomy status (an artificial entrance to the stomach), and dysphasia (difficulty swallowing). Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 06/13/2024, reflected no BIMS score, indicating it was not completed. She was in a persistent vegetative state. Had functional limitations on both sides for upper and lower extremities. Functional abilities included total dependence for hygiene, toileting, showers, dressing, and all transfers.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few facility. They report pt was dropped at the facility and the aide doing pt's shower was crying and admitted it to the family. In an interview on 06/21/2024 at 10:01 AM, the Executive Director stated she was informed of the incident on 06/20/2024 about 5:30 PM. She said she was not able to respond to the facility and the DON was on leave. She said neither her nor the DON went to the facility for follow up with the investigation. She said she was told CNA A was showering Resident #1 and Resident #1 fell from the shower bed and had a laceration on her forehead. She said Resident #1 was sent to hospital. She stated that she learned that CNA A transferred Resident #1, using a mechanical lift, on her own. She said all resident transfers that required a mechanical lift needed to be with two staff for safety. She said CNA A also showered Resident #1 on her own when Resident #1 fell from the shower bed. She said Resident #1 was a two-person mechanical lift transfer and two-person assist for showers and all ADLs. She said she asked LVN D to in-services CNA A on transfers and CNA A was suspended and sent home after the incident occurred. She said CNA A will be terminated for not following the facility's policy. In an interview on 06/21/2024 at 10:15 AM, the DON stated she learned that CNA A use the mechanical lift to transfer Resident #1 from her bed to the shower bed, on her own. She said CNA A also showered Resident #1 on her own when Resident #1 fell from the shower bed. The DON stated Resident #1's care plan indicated two-person transfers using a mechanical lift and for showers. She stated CNA A should know this because all CNAs had access to the daily care guide, which indicated care needs for all residents. She stated She learned from LVN D that CNA A said Resident #1 fell over the top of the shower bed rail. The DON said Resident #1 was not able to move at all so she was not sure how she could fall over the rail. The DON said there should have been two people in the shower when showering Resident #1. She said staff were trained on fall precautions and equipment use at hire. Attempted telephone calls to CNA A on 06/21/2024 at 10:45 AM, 3:25 PM (from the DON's phone), and 06/22/2024 at 11:55 AM revealed no response to messages that requested a call back. In a telephone interview on 06/21/2024 at 11:04 AM, LVN D stated CNA A called her to the shower room because Resident #1 had fallen. She said when she went into the shower room, Resident #1 was on the floor, on her back, bleeding from her forehead. She said the shower bed was upright, but she did not notice if the rails were up of down. She said she assessed the resident and they called 911 to send her to the hospital. She said CNA A told her Resident #1 fell over the top of the shower bed rails when she turned her over. LVN D said she did not know what happened but though it was impossible for Resident #1 to fall from the shower bed unless the bed rail fell down or was not up. She said the shower beds had rails that attached with clips and if they were not fastened correctly they could have allowed the rail to come down. She said she did not notice anything wrong with the bed but did remove it from use as directed by the ED. She said Resident #1 was a two-person shower assist because she could not move on her own. She stated all nursing staff should know the care needs of all residents because they have access to the daily care guide. LVN D said CNAs could also ask the nurse if they were not sure of care needs. She said she did not know why CNA A used a mechanical lift and showered Resident #1 on her own rather than getting assistance from another staff. She stated when she called the ED and DON, they instructed her to get statements from CNA A and in-service her on safe transfers, then send her home pending the incident investigation. She said she did discuss with CNA A resident safety, fall prevention, and to ensure we followed protocol mechanical lift and care plan policy. LVN D said she was I the halls with CNAs but did not see CNA A get Resident #1 ready for a shower. She said she monitored CNAs by following up on rounding and letting them know they could come to her with any questions.

F 0656 responsible for implementing the acceptable plan of correction. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety On 06/22/2024 at 12:00 PM the surveyor began monitoring the facility's Plan of Removal. Residents Affected - Few In an interview on 06/22/2024 at 11:17 AM, with the Executive Director and DON, the DON stated, the Regional Director of Clinical Services in-serviced her and the Executive Director on the failures surrounding the IJ. She said those included abuse and neglect policy, mechanical lift processes, the care guide and how staff need to follow it, resident care plans, and ensuring all equipment was safe for use. She said she then in-serviced ADON B and RN C. She said they had been completing one-on-one in-servicing with staff since 06/21/2024. She stated staff were in-serviced in person and prior to starting their shift. The Executive Director said she estimated at least half their staff had completed in-services and this would be on-going until all staff had been in-serviced. She said her expectation was that the CNAs be trained, and the nurses trained to follow up to ensure everyone was following care plans and meeting resident's needs. She stated it was her expectation that staff followed the care guide and communicate care needs and any changes residents may have to ensure the facility staff meet resident's needs. All staff were expected to tell Administration about any issues - this was part of the abuse and neglect training. She stated staff were trained to report maintenance issues or issues with equipment to maintenance and record those issues in the logbook at the front desk. She said the DON or designee was responsible to monitor all of the plan of corrections put in place. She said the management team was responsible to assess all falls daily to identify issues related to resident care and safety. The DON said she planned to do random skills checkoffs for mechanical lift transfers and random checks to ensure aides were following resident care guides. She said this information would then be reviewed in QUPI and the Executive Director would follow up as needed. Interviews on 06/22/2024 between 12:00 PM and 2:53 PM with ADON B, RN C, Social Worker, Human Resources Director, Maintenance Director, Director of Business Development, CNAs E, F, G, H and I, Housekeepers J and K, and LVNs L, M, and N, represented staff who worked 1st, 2nd, 3rd shifts and all days of the week. Staff were able to convey appropriate knowledge of the POR Inservice's including mechanical lift protocol, where to document maintenance or equipment issues, who to report equipment issues to, policies regarding identifying and reporting abuse or neglect, following care plans and where to find resident care plan information. All staff stated the DON and nurse managers would monitor these actions. Observation on 06/22/2024 at 1:40 PM revealed CNAs E and F performed a mechanical lift transfer for Resident #2. Resident #2 did not communicate verbally. Facial expressions from Resident #2 appeared positive in response to verbal ques from CNAs E and F during the transfer. An observation and interview on 06/22/2024 at 1:55 PM revealed CNAs G and H performed a mechanical lift transfer for Resident #3. Resident #3 stated he felt safe when the CNAs transferred him with the mechanical lift. Record review of the facility's in-service record addressed to CNAs and Nurses, dated 06/21/2024, titled, Mechanical Lift, Falls, Transfers and Fall Prevention, and conducted by ADON B, included the following topics.

She said all resident transfers that required a mechanical lift needed to be with two staff for safety. She said CNA A also showered Resident #1 on her own when Resident #1 fell from the shower bed. She said Resident #1 was a two-person mechanical lift transfer and two-person assist for showers and all ADLs. She stated she asked the nursing staff to check all the shower beds to ensure they were in good working condition. She said she asked LVN D to remove the shower bed used in the incident, until it could be checked by Maintenance, and make an entry in the Maintenance Logbook. She said the Maintenance Director checked the shower bed on 06/21/2024 and found no maintenance concerns. She said she did not know when the shower equipment was inspected last and was not sure if there was a record of the equipment inspections. She said she asked LVN D to in-service CNA A on transfers and CNA A was suspended and sent home after the incident occurred. She said CNA A will be terminated for not following the facility's policy. In an interview on 06/21/2024 at 10:15 AM, the DON stated she learned that CNA A use the mechanical lift to transfer Resident #1 from her bed to the shower bed, on her own. She said CNA A also showered Resident #1 on her own when Resident #1 fell from the shower bed. The DON stated Resident #1's care plan indicated two-person transfers using a mechanical lift and for showers. She stated CNA A should know this because all CNAs had access to the daily care guide, which indicated care needs for all residents. She stated She learned from LVN D that CNA A said Resident #1 fell over the top of the shower bed rail. The DON said Resident #1 was not able to move at all so she was not sure how she could fall over the rail. The DON said there should have been two people in the shower when showering Resident #1. She said staff were trained on fall precautions and equipment use at hire. She stated there was no formal training for staff to report maintenance issues, but staff have been verbally instructed to report and log any concerns with maintenance or equipment in the maintenance log at the front desk. Attempted telephone calls to CNA A on 06/21/2024 at 10:45 AM, 3:25 PM (from the DON's phone), and 06/22/2024 at 11:55 AM revealed no response to messages that requested a call back.

She said when she went into the shower room, Resident #1 was on the floor, on her back, bleeding from her forehead. She said the shower bed was upright, but she did not notice if the rails were up of down. She said she assessed the resident and they called 911 to send her to the hospital. She said CNA A told her Resident #1 fell over the top of the shower bed rails when she turned her over. LVN D said she did not know what happened but thought it was impossible for Resident #1 to fall from the shower bed unless the bed rail fell down or was not up. She said the shower beds had rails that attached with clips and if they were not fastened correctly they could have allowed the rail to come down. She said she did not notice anything wrong with the bed but did remove it from use as directed by the ED. She said Resident #1 was a two-person shower assist because she could not move on her own. She stated all nursing staff should know the care needs of all residents because they have access to the daily care guide. LVN D said CNAs could also ask the nurse if they were not sure of care needs. She said she did not know why CNA A used a mechanical lift and showered Resident #1 on her own rather than getting assistance from another staff. She stated when she called the ED and DON, they instructed her to get statements from CNA A and in-service her on safe transfers, then send her home pending the incident investigation. She said she did discuss with CNA A resident safety, fall prevention, and to ensure we followed protocol mechanical lift and care plan policy. LVN D said she was rounding in the hall with CNAs but did not see CNA A get Resident #1 ready for a shower. She said she monitored CNAs by following up on rounding and letting them know they could come to her with any questions.
