This survey cited 13 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0577 Allow residents to easily view the nursing home's survey results and communicate with advocate agencies. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to promote the resident rights to examine the results of the most recent survey (a survey to determine compliance with state and federal regulations) of the facility by failing to: Residents Affected - Some 1. Ensure two (Residents 4 and 19) of two residents knew where to locate the most recent survey results. 2. Post the most recent survey results in a place that are prominent and accessible (a place where individuals wishing to examine survey results do not have to ask to see them) to residents, family members, and legal representatives of residents. These deficient practices had the potential to impede the resident rights and negatively affect residents' psychosocial wellbeing. Findings: A review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated 1/14/2023, indicated the facility admitted the resident on 5/4/2020 and had an intact cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated the resident was independent with eating, supervision with locomotion, and required extensive assistance from staff with all other activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive). A review of Resident 19's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated 12/15/2022, indicated the resident had moderately impaired cognition ((mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) and required extensive assistance from staff with bed mobility and total assistance with all other activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive). During an observation on 3/25/2023 at 1:30 p.m., the most recent survey results were not posted in a readily accessible location in the facility. Observed survey results in an unlabeled binder adjacent to the communication board. During the Resident Council task interview on 3/25/2023 at 1:00 p.m., two of two residents shook their head to indicate they did not know where to find the most recent survey results when asked by the surveyor, Without having to ask, were the results of the state inspection available to read?. (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

The CSW stated the reason for acknowledgement form is to document the presence of an advance directive and offer assistance if they do not have one. The CSW stated if the resident or resident representative wanted more information, the licensed nurses would help them with that. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:16 a.m., the Admissions Coordinator (AC) stated she meets with resident and family to go over the admission packet. The AC stated she will ask resident if they have an advance direct and will request a copy and or mark no indicating the resident does not have an advance directive. The AC stated she does not go over the advance directive and the CSW is responsible to follow up with the resident or their representatives. The AC stated the purpose of advance directives is to follow residents' decision if they are not able to communicate and to assign someone to follow their wishes. The AC stated there can be a risk of not respecting resident's wishes in case they become incapacitated to make decisions if AD was not followed up on. The AC stated based on policy they are not following residents' rights to an advance directive. The AC was unable to provide documented evidence that the AD was discussed with Resident 11 or their representative. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:40 a.m., the Admitting Supervisor (AS) stated the admitting department provide information on how to complete an AD but there is no documented evidence that information was provided to residents or their representatives or if they declined assistance. The AS stated the importance of formulating an AD is that in case a resident is not able to make decisions regarding their care, they have the option to select someone who can decide for them. During an interview on [DATE] at 6:30 p.m., the Nurse Manager (NM) stated the facility is required to ask residents if they have an advance directive upon admission. The NM stated the importance of an AD, honors resident's wishes in case of emergency, and they are unable to decide for themselves. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Advance Directive, last reviewed 7/2018 indicated a policy statement to support patients and families' rights to participate in healthcare decision-making and to ensure those rights are addressed and the patient's wishes are followed if they become incapacitated.

F 0604 Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide an environment that is restraint-free by failing to consistently monitor and document the use of restraint for one (Resident 11) out of one resident reviewed for restraint use. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to place the residents at risk for unnecessary prolonged use of restraints and can lead to a decline in physical functioning and skin injuries and severe injuries such as strangulation or entrapment. Findings: A review of Resident 11's face sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 2/3/2023 with diagnoses including respiratory failure (a condition that makes it difficult to breathe on your own) and deep vein thrombosis (a condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein usually in the lower leg, thigh, and arm). A review of Resident 11's History and Physical (H&P) dated 2/9/2023, did not indicate the resident's capacity to understand and make decisions. The H&P indicated the resident had tracheostomy (an opening created at the front of the neck so a tube can be inserted into the windpipe (trachea) to help with breathing), psychosis (a mental condition characterized by a disconnection from reality), and diabetes mellitus II (a condition characterized by high levels of sugar in the blood). A review of Resident 11's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated 1/10/2023, indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition ((mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) and required total assistance from staff with all activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive). The MDS indicated use of limb restraint. A review of Resident 11's order report dated 2/4/2023, indicated the following orders: 1. Apply bilateral soft wrist restraint (a device placed on the wrist used to prevent patients from harming themselves) to prevent pulling tubing and medical devices, scratching scalp wound. Monitor every two hours, check for circulation, skin integrity and movement. 2. Apply bilateral hand peek a boo (hand mitt - a soft large glove that covers the hand used to prevent patients from harming themselves) to prevent pulling tubing and medical devices, scratching scalp wound. Monitor every two hours, check for circulation, skin integrity and movement. A review of Resident 11's care plan on restraint use for patient safety dated 2/4/2023, indicated the resident uses bilateral soft wrist restraint and bilateral hand peek a boo with goals including resident shall not sustain injury while using restraints. The interventions included to monitor for episodes of agitation (a feeling of irritability or severe restlessness) or anxiety (a feeling of fear and uneasiness), monitor for pulling lines or tubes, keep resident clean and dry, assess less restrictive measures or device prior to restraint use, check for proper placement, release and check for redness, circulation, hygiene, and impaired skin integrity every two hours and as needed.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/24/2023 at 8:20 p.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) stated that Resident 11 has soft wrist restraints and hand mittens on both hands. LVN 4 stated the restraints had been applied since admission due to agitation and multiple attempts to pull out tube, lines, and scratching the scab on her scalp wound that had reopened. Residents Affected - Few During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/25/2023 at 6:35 p.m. with Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC), Resident 11's medical records were reviewed including physician orders, care plan, and restraint flowsheet (a form to document the assessment, teaching, observation, and care of a patient who requires the use of a restraint, including the use of a least restrictive device). The MDSC stated there were missing documentation of monitoring for the wrist and hand mitten restraint on the following dates and time: 1. 3/16/2023 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. 2. 3/16/2023 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. 3. 3/16/2023 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. 4. 3/20/2023 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. 5. 3/20/2023 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. 6. 3/20/2023 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The MDSC stated it is important to monitor the use of restraint to ensure the resident maintains their range of motion, (ROM - refers to how far a part of the body can be moved or stretched such as a joint or a muscle) ensure the resident's skin is intact, and ensure use of least restrictive measure were used, and appropriateness of continued use. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Restraint Use (Sub Acute), last revised 12/2022, indicated a purpose to ensure safe and ethical use of physical restraints that no person will be restrained against their will longer than necessary. The policy also indicated restraint monitoring is documented in the electronic health record (EHR) and completed each day every two hours for each resident in restraint.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan for one of three residents (Resident 33) by failing to: Residents Affected - Few 1. Ensure there was a care plan addressing Resident 33's Restorative Nursing Assistance (RNA, a program designed to ensure each resident maintains their physical and functional abilities) therapy. 2. Ensure there was a care plan addressing Resident 33's use of an anticoagulant (Eliquis, used to prevent serious blood clots from forming due to a certain irregular heartbeat). This deficient practice had the potential to result in a delay of nursing care and medical interventions for the residents. Findings: A review of Resident 33's face sheet indicated that the facility admitted the resident on 2/15/2023, with diagnoses including respiratory failure (a condition that occurs due to a disease or injury that interferes with the ability of the lungs to deliver oxygen) and hypertension (high blood pressure). A review of Resident 33's History and Physical (H&P), dated 2/17/2023, indicated the resident had histories of chronic atrial fibrillation (an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm that can lead to blood clots in the heart), heart failure (a condition that develops when the heart does not pump enough blood for the body's needs), and progressive neuromuscular disorder (progressive weakness due to degeneration of the muscles that control movement). A review of Resident 33's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 2/28/2023, indicated the resident sometimes had the ability to make self-understood and understand others. The MDS indicated the resident had impaired vision. The MDS also indicated the resident was totally dependent on bed mobility and transfer, dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene. A review of Resident 33's Active Orders indicated: -RNA Physical Therapy (PT, a medical treatment used to restore functional movements, such as standing, walking, and moving different body parts) until discontinued. Perform left extremity (LE) passive range of motion (PROM, the range of motion that is achieved when an outside force exclusively causes movement of a joint and is usually the maximum range of motion that a joint can move) daily to bilateral hip, knee, ankle, and foot daily 6 days/week on 2/24/2023. -RNA Occupational Therapy (OT, rehabilitation that focuses on improving the resident's ability to perform activities of daily living) until discontinued. Perform OT upper extremity (UE) daily to bilateral shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand 6 days/week on 2/16/2023. -Apixaban (Eliquis) tablet 5 milligrams (mg, a unit of mass or weight) two times daily via gastrostomy tube (G-tube, a tube inserted through the wall of the abdomen directly into the stomach) on 2/15/2023.

The NM stated that there was no order for monitoring of the side effects on the use of anticoagulant (Eliquis) on Resident 33. The NM also stated that there was not care plan developed for the use of the anticoagulant on the resident. The NM further stated that they should have monitored the resident for bleeding. The NM stated that the care plan is important because it indicates the resident's plan of care, and it must be reassessed on a regular basis to find out if there is a need to adjust the treatment based on the reassessment. During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/26/2023, at 5:45 p.m., reviewed Resident 33's Active Orders and the Care Plan with the NM. The NM stated there was no care plan for RNA therapy. A review of the facility's recent policy and procedure titled Plan of Care- Post Epic (2014) (an electronic health records system for hospitals and large practices), last revised on 1/2014, indicated all healthcare professionals are expected to review and contribute to the plan within their scope of practice. The Registered Nurse (RN) is accountable to assure the development of a patient-centric, interprofessional individualized plan of care. Initiate Plan of Care (POC) within 4 hours and completion within 24 hours following admission, the interprofessional team initiates a focused Plan of Care (Based on a focused assessment), to include: Patient care needs and preferences; Clinical practice guideline (CPG)Medical/Treatment/Procedure CPG (reflects the patient's diagnosis or treatment/procedures as written by the healthcare provider) and/or Human Response CPG (reflects the human response of the patient and/or family to illness/treatment and requires no healthcare provider order)- that will support patient stabilization by recommending additional screening and assessment. Within 24 hours following admission, the RN assures completion of a comprehensive interprofessional Plan of Care (based on a comprehensive assessment) informed by admission data and identification of diagnostic statements to include: Prioritized problem identification; Goals/outcomes set in collaboration with patient and interprofessional healthcare team; Therapeutic interventions and actions; Learning and education needs. A review of the facility's recent policy and procedure titled Anticoagulation Management, last revised on 7/2022, indicated that RN's direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) responsibilities is to monitor patient for any adverse reactions to medication, including signs/symptoms of bleeding.

A review of Resident 25's face sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 2/9/2023 with diagnoses including acute respiratory failure (sudden inability of the lungs to maintain normal respiratory function) and constipation (a condition of inability to pass stools regularly). A review of Resident 25's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated the resident was in a persistent vegetative state/no discernible consciousness. The MDS indicated the resident was totally dependent with bed mobility, locomotion on unit, dressing, bathing, and personal hygiene with one or more person's physical assist. The MDS indicated the resident had impairment on both sides of the upper and lower extremities. A review of Resident 25's Active Orders, dated 12/5/2022 indicated: RNA OT upper extremity passive range of motion (PROM, an exercise provided by therapist or the RNAs who will have to do full range of motion [ROM, the extent or limit to which a part of the body can be moved around a joint or a fixed point] for the person without any help from the resident) daily, six days /week. RNA PT lower extremity PROM daily, six day/week. A review of Resident 25's Range of Motion Impairment Care Plan, dated 9/29/2020, expected end date 5/13/2023, indicated an intervention for passive range of motion to both upper and lower extremities six days per week.

LVN 5 stated she had to put the resident's HOB down because she had difficulty with administering the resident's gastrostomy (g-tube, a flexible tube inserted through the abdominal wall that directly delivers nutrition to the stomach) medications. LVN 5 stated she should have elevated the resident's HOB at 30 degrees. c. A review of Resident 25's face sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 2/9/2023 with diagnosis including acute respiratory failure (sudden inability of the lungs to maintain normal respiratory function) and constipation (a condition of inability to pass stools regularly). A review of Resident 25's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated the resident is in a persistent vegetative state/no discernible consciousness. The MDS indicated the resident was totally dependent with bed mobility, locomotion on unit, dressing, bathing, and personal hygiene with one or more person's physical assist. The MDS indicated the resident with impairment on both side of upper and lower extremities. A review of Resident 25's active orders, dated 2/9/2023, indicated adult tube feeding carbohydrate-controlled goal rate 80 ml/hr, continuous. A review of Resident 25's Care Plan, Absence of Aspiration Signs/Symptoms, expected end date 5/13/2023, indicated the resident is at risk for aspiration due to TF with interventions including keeping HOB elevated at least 30-45 degrees at all times. During an observation on 3/26/2023 at 7:54 a.m., observed Resident 25 in bed, with tube feeding Fibersource High Nitrogen (tube feeding formula) running at 50 ml/hr, fed 100 ml, and HOB elevated at 27 degrees.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to administer Cefepime (a drug used to treat infection) 2 grams (g- a unit of measurement used to measure very light objects) as prescribed for one of one sampled resident (Resident 37). This deficient practice had the potential to result in ineffectively managing Resident 37 infection. Findings: A review of Resident 37's face sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 1/20/2023 with diagnoses that included chronic respiratory failure and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). A review of Resident 37's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 1/27/2023 indicated Resident 37 rarely and or never understand other and rarely and or never is understood by others. The MDS indicated Resident 37 was totally dependent on bed mobility, transferring, dressing, eating, and toilet use. A review of Resident 37's Physician's Orders dated 3/19/2023 to 3/26/2023 indicated cefepime (Maxipime) 100 milligram (mg- A measure of weight)/ milliliters (ml- a metric unit of volume equal to a thousandth of a liter) intravenous (IV-into or within a vein) syringe 2 grams, two times per day. During an observation on 3/25/2023 at 9:54 a.m. in Resident 37's room, observed IV bag dated 3/24/2023 at 9 p.m. labeled cefepime 2 gm with liquid medication in the vial; bag and IV tubing are hung and disconnected from an IV pump. During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/25/2023 at 9:59 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), at Resident 37's bedside, LVN 2 stated IV cefepime 2 gm was administered on 3/24/2023 at 9 p.m., LVN 2 stated pump is off, and IV line is disconnected indicating antibiotic infusion is complete. LVN 2 stated that there was approximately five (5) ml of medication in the vial and approximately 40 ml of normal saline left in the IV bag. LVN 2 stated the resident did not get full dose of the antibiotics. LVN 2 stated Resident 37 should have been given the full dose because not getting the full dose of antibiotics increases the risk for infection. During an interview on 3/26/2023 at 4:10 p.m. with the Nurse Manager (NM), the NM stated if antibiotic is not given in its entirety it is almost like an omission of treatment. The NM stated not getting full dose of antibiotics would disrupt the antibiotic treatment course. The NM stated the nurse did not follow doctors' orders. A review of facility's policies and procedures, titled Medication Administration and Monitoring, last revised on 12/2022 indicated medications are administered exactly as ordered. Dosages are not altered in any way, without a written change of order.

A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Infusion Therapy Products, dated 4/2008, indicated the resident's medical record is checked for know allergies and monitored closely for any signs of adverse reactions after each dose of the medication. Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure residents drug regimen were free of unnecessary medications for two of three sampled residents (Resident 2 and 33) by failing to: 1. Monitor and document the adverse (unwanted) effects of anticoagulant use (Eliquis, used to prevent serious blood clots from forming due to a certain irregular heartbeat) for Resident 33. This deficient practice had the potential for adverse reactions including bleeding easily and bruising. 2. Monitor a resident for any adverse reaction (any unexpected or dangerous reaction to a drug) upon initiation of intravenous (IV - given through a vein) antibiotic and succeeding doses as instructed by the physician for Resident 2. This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 2 experiencing an adverse reaction from the medication. Findings: a. A review of Resident 33's face sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 2/15/2023, with diagnoses including respiratory failure (a condition that occurs due to a disease or injury that interferes with the ability of the lungs to deliver oxygen) and hypertension (high blood pressure).

A review of Resident 17's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 1/17/2023, with a diagnosis of respiratory failure (a condition that occurs due to a disease or injury that interferes with the ability of the lungs to deliver oxygen). A review of Resident 17's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/18/2023, indicated the resident had a vehicular accident and suffered an intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain caused by the rupture of a damaged blood vessel in the head) and underwent left decompressive craniectomy (a removal of a piece of bone of the skull to reduce intracranial pressure) and had tracheostomy. The H&P indicated the resident moves her left arm but does not communicate or was able to move the other extremities as they were contracted (abnormally shortened muscle tissue). A review of Resident 17's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 1/24/2023, indicated the resident did not have the ability to make self-understood and understand others. A review of Resident 17's Active Orders, dated 1/17/2023, indicated tracheostomy care (a care that is done to keep your tracheostomy tube clean) by Respiratory Therapist (RT) and Registered Nurse (RN) per facility standard of care. During an observation on 3/24/2023, at 7:53 p.m., observed Resident 17's tracheostomy collar tubing with a sticker indicating to change on Monday but the date and time fields were left blank. Observed an undated suction canister containing yellow fluids (halfway full) at the bedside. During an observation and interview on 3/24/2023, at 8:19 p.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5) stated that the trach collar tubing and the suction canister should be dated and initialed by the staff who changed the equipment to prevent the growth of bacteria that can cause infection to residents.

A review of Resident 31's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 9/15/2022, with a diagnosis of respiratory failure. A review of Resident 31's H&P, dated 3/18/2023, indicated the resident had past medical history atrial fibrillation (an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm that can lead to blood clots in the heart), hypertension (high blood pressure) and pneumonia (an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs). Due to inability to wean from ventilator (the process of abruptly or gradually withdrawing ventilatory support), patient was trached (paced a tube on the windpipe) on 3/10/2021. A review of Resident 31's Active Orders, dated 9/15/2022, indicated an order for: - Contact isolation (used when a patient has an infectious disease that may be spread by touching either the patient or other objects the patient has handled) for carbapenem resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE, strains of bacteria that are resistant to an antibiotic class [carbapenem] used to treat severe infections). - Tracheostomy (trach) management until discontinued, trach care every shift and if necessary. Trach care by RT or RN per facility standard of care. During an observation on 3/24/2023 at 8:10 p.m., observed Resident 31's tracheostomy collar tubing with a sticker indicating to change on Monday but the date and time fields were left blank. Observed an undated suction canister containing yellow fluids (more than halfway full) at the bedside. Also observed the tracheostomy tubing attached to the wall regulator touching the floor. During an observation and interview on 3/24/2023, at 8:19 p.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5) stated that the trach collar tubing and the suction canister should be dated and initialed by the staff who changed the equipment to prevent the growth of bacteria that can cause infection to residents. LVN 5 further stated that the trach collar tubing attached to the wall oxygen regulator should be off the floor to prevent tripping on the tube and to prevent infection. During an interview on 3/26/2023, at 9:05 a.m., the Nurse Manager (NM) stated staff should have labeled the tracheostomy collar tubing with the date and time it was changed. The NM further stated that if the tracheostomy collar tubing was not dated, they will not know when the last time it was changed and could also cause potential infection to the residents. The NM also stated that the trach collar tubing attached to the wall oxygen regulator should be off the floor to prevent tripping on the tube and to prevent infection.

A review of Resident 33's admission Record indicated that the facility admitted the resident on 2/15/2023, with a diagnosis of respiratory failure. A review of Resident 33's H&P, dated 2/17/2023, indicated the resident was on acute on chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure (acute or chronic impairment of gas exchange between the lungs and the blood causing hypoxia [low levels of oxygen in your body tissues] with or without hypercapnia [buildup of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream]) with tracheostomy and ventilator (a machine that helps a person breathe). A review of Resident 33's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated the resident had sometimes the ability to make self-understood and understand others. The MDS also indicated that the resident was on oxygen therapy, suctioning, tracheostomy care, and invasive mechanical ventilator. A review of Resident 33's Active Orders indicated: - Tracheostomy management, trach care every shift and if necessary. Trach care by RT or RN per facility standard of care on 2/15/2023. -Wound care sacrococcyx pressure injury transitioned to unstageable (an ulcer that has full thickness tissue loss but is either covered by extensive necrotic tissue or by eschar [dead tissue that sheds or falls off from the skin]) until discontinued. Cleanse with normal saline (NS-cleaning solution), apply Santyl (medication used to remove dead tissue from wounds so they can start to heal), moist gauze and cover with mepilex (a soft and highly conformable antimicrobial foam dressing that absorbs exudate [fluid that leaks out of blood vessels into nearby tissues] and maintains wound environment) daily and if necessary (prn) if loose or soiled. During an observation on 3/24/2023, at 7:48 p.m., observed Resident 33's undated suction canister with yellowish fluid more than half filled. During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/15/2023 at 12:35 p.m., observed RN 5 changed gloves without sanitizing hands while performing pressure injury dressing change to Resident 33. RN 5 stated that she should have washed her hands or used alcohol sanitizer after removing the gloves and before placing a new pair to prevent infection.
