This survey cited 7 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to report to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) a bruise on the forearm of unknown origin and allegation of abuse for one of one resident (Resident 22).within 2 hours of discovery. This failure had the potential to delay investigation and affect physical and psychosocial well-being of the resident. Findings: On 2/27/24 at 5:30 p.m., CDPH received a facsimile (FAX) letter from Quality Assurance (QA). The letter was to inform CDPH of bruising identified on Resident 22's forearm noted on 2/26/24 at 11:20 p.m. Initial interviews were completed, unable to identify contributing cause to bruising. During a review of Resident 22's Nursing Progress Note, dated 2/26/24, the Nursing Progress Note indicated, . discoloration on her left forearm just below left AC (Antecubital, the space inside the crook of the elbow), . asked her if somebody hit her and she nod yes. During an interview on 3/6/24 at 3:48 p.m. with QA, QA confirmed the mandated report of injury/allegation of abuse was not reported to CDPH within 2 hours of knowing of alleged incident. During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Abuse-Reporting, dated 8/2014, the P&P indicated, The case is reported to the CDPH and to local law enforcement services as an alleged abuse within 24 hours . unless there has been serious bodily injury or if the case involves sexual abuse. If either of these two elements are present, the case must be reported to CDPH and local law enforcement within two hours. 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.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident (Resident 72) had an accurate Minimum Data Set ((MDS) a standardized assessment tool designed to identify potential problems). Residents Affected - Few This failure resulted in Resident 72 not having a care plan ((CP) a tool that outlines the interventions (actions) to be taken to meet the resident's needs) developed for their discharge goal of returning home. Findings: During a review of Resident 72's admission MDS, Section Q, dated 11/14/23, the MDS indicated, neither Resident 72 nor his spouse participated in the assessment and Resident 72's goal was to remain in the facility. During a review of Resident 72's Resident Care Team Meeting, Social Work Review (CTM), dated 11/16/23 at 11:30 a.m., the CTM indicated, Patient is a [AGE] year old, English speaking married male. Patient was transferred from [hospital name] on 11/08/2023 for deconditioning [decreased strength and/or balance] due to sepsis [the body's extreme response to an infection], osteomyelitis [inflammation of bone] left hip . The patient is looking forward to returning home . Prior to being admitted he was independent with ADL's [activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, ambulating] and was driving, he did not use any DME's [durable medical equipment such as walker, wheel chair, cane] . Social Worker will provide counseling as appropriate to patient and family, encourage participation in IDT to help family reflect on progress and needs, and provide community resources and referrals as needed. During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/7/24 at 10:05 a.m. with a licensed nurse (MDS-C), Resident 72's MDS dated [DATE] and CTM dated 11/16/23 were reviewed. MDS-C stated the MDS and CTM Don't match. MDS-C further stated there was no discharge care plan for Resident 72 and there should have been one. MDS-C additionally agreed if the MDS accurately reflected Resident 72's discharge goal of wanting to return home then it would have triggered the care plan to be developed. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plans, Resident/Patient-Subacute Care, dated 8/20, the P&P indicated, PURPOSE: To identify resident/patient care needs and develop a care plan that indicates the care to be given, the goals desired and the approach to achieve these goals within an acceptable time frame. According to Fundamentals of Nursing ([NAME] et al.; Elsevier: 2017, p. 66), The long-term care setting includes skilled nursing facilities . Individual state regulations, TJC [The Joint Commission], and The CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] govern documentation requirements in these facilities. The Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI), which includes the Minimum Data Set (MDS) and the Care Area Assessment (CAA), is the data set that is federally mandated for use in long-term care facilities by CMS. Compliance with state and federal requirements and reimbursement for care provided in a long-term care facility depend on accurate completion of the required documentation to justify the care provided .

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 individualized care plans for 2 of 18 sampled residents (Residents 34 and 63): Residents Affected - Few 1. For Resident 34, the facility failed to develop an individualized care plan that reflected specific target weight range with measurable goals and timeframe's, and failed to update and revise the care plan when there were changes to the tube feeding (providing nutrition through a tube to the stomach) order. 2. For Resident 63, the facility failed to develop an individualized care plan for a resident with a urinary catheter. This failure resulted in lack of individualized care plans that reflected specific care and measurable goals which impedes the IDT (interdisciplinary team) from effectively monitoring, evaluating and revising the care plan, as appropriate, to ensure care needs would not go unrecognized and unmet. Findings: 1. During an observation on 3/4/23 at 12:50 p.m. in Resident 34's room, Resident 34's tube feeding pump was observed to be providing Glucerna (formula to provide nutrition and help manage blood sugar) 1.2 calories per milliliter (a metric unit to measure capacity) at 60 milliliter per hour for 22 hours a day. During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/5/24 at 10:11 a.m. with Patient Services Manager(PSM)/ Registered Dietitian (RD), Resident 34's Nutrition Services Assessment (NSA), dated 1/10/2024, was reviewed. The NSA indicated, Ideal Body Weight: 79.52 kg (kilograms which is = to 175 pounds [lbs]), IBW (ideal body weight) range, 160 - 196 lbs. The NSA documented Resident 34's weight history as: Weights (lb): 3/9/21 - 162, 3/9/22 - 180, 1/11/23 - 197, 2/9/23 - 192, 3/8/23 - 188, 4/18/23 - 194, 5/11/23 - 180, 6/7/23 - 180, 7/5/23 - 172, 8/9/23 - 167, 9/14/23 - 163, 10/4/23 - 160, 11/1/23 - 161, 12/6/23 168, 1/3/24 - 157 lbs .Usual Weight: 73.64 kg (162 lbs). PSM stated Resident 34 previously had an unplanned weight gain, then recently had a planned weight loss to get him back to his usual body weight of 162 lbs. During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/4/23 at 10:35 a.m. with PSM, Resident 34's interdisciplinary (IDT) nutritional status care plan (IDTNCP), last updated on 4/23/23, was reviewed. PSM stated the IDTNCP indicated, Will maintain target weight range. PSM stated the target weight range for Resident 34 was anywhere between 160 - 178 lbs. PSM acknowledged the IDTNCP had not listed Resident 34's individual, specific target weight range on the IDTNCP for clear communication amongst the IDT. PSM stated she would need to find out whose role it was to document on the IDT nutrition care plan. During an interview on 3/5/24 at 11:08 a.m. with Nurse Manager (NM), NM stated it was the MDS [minimum data set] Coordinator role to initiate IDT care plans, and after that nursing can update and revise the care plans as needed. NM reviewed Resident 34's IDTNCP and NM stated he did not know what Resident 34's target weight range was by reviewing the IDTNCP since it was not specific.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some plate indicated, Hot Water Sanitizing; Wash Temp 160 degrees F Min [minimum], Final Rinse Temp 180 degrees F Min, 194 degrees Max [maximum]. During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/5/24 at 2:44 p.m. with CDM, the CDM showed a binder that was on a shelf in the dish machine room that contained directions to dietary staff and a monitoring log for the high temp dish machine that was reviewed. The directions indicated, The 'Dish Machine Temperature Log' is used to record the water temperatures of the wash, rinse, and final rinse cycles of the dish machine. You will find the temperatures measured by the machine on the display at the front of the dish machine. All three temperatures (wash, rinse, and final rinse) must be recorded and within range before use. Temperatures must be checked three times a day: before breakfast items are washed, before lunch items are washed, before dinner items are washed. Steps: To record the temperatures from the display, start machine and run for a few minutes before looking at the display. Record the wash, rinse, and final rinse temps noted on the display onto the 'Dish Machine Temperature Log.' Check to see if temps are within the appropriate range as follows: WASH temp must be between 110 degrees F - 140 degrees F, RINSE temp must be between 150 degrees F - 165 degrees F, FINAL RINSE temp must be between 180 degrees F - 200 degrees F .CORRECTIVE ACTION: If temps on the display are out of range, start booster heater and allow machine to run a few minutes. Re-check the display .If temps remain below goal, notify manager and take the equipment out of service. Submit a work order for repair. Wash and sanitize all items in the three-compartment sink until the machine is repaired. CDM reviewed the Dish Machine Temperature Log, dated 3/5/24 for lunch that indicated, wash 129 [degrees F], rinse 157 [degrees F] and final 185 [degrees F] initialed by NA 1.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm The facility failed to maintain the infection control program when staff left an unflushed suction catheter (a tube used to clear the airway by removing secretions from the oropharynx with the aid of a rigid suction tip) resulting in secretions dripped on top of the nightstand for one of six residents (Resident 50) with a tracheostomy tube. Residents Affected - Few This failure placed Resident 50 at risk for the spread of healthcare-associated infection. Findings: During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Infection Prevention and Control Plan, dated 4/06, the P&P indicated, VI. Prevention Strategies A. The Infection Prevention and Control Program includes prevention strategies, including but not limited to: . 2. Cleaning, disinfection (process to remove microorganisms by liquid chemicals) and sterilization (a process to destroy microorganism with the use of heat, radiation or chemical agent) . 6. Compliance to Infection Prevention and Control Program. During a review of the P&P titled, Use of Closed System Suction Apparatus, dated 6/14, the P&P indicated, Equipment Suction source, 1. wall or portable. 2. Sterile saline for irrigation - 3 cc vials .in part . Procedure 8. Use normal saline vial to flush catheter by initiating suction and then introducing solution slowly . Rationale/Precautions: Normal Saline will clear secretions from catheter. During a review of Resident 50's Physician Progress Notes (PPN), dated 3/24, the PPN indicated, Resident 50 had a diagnosis of Chronic Respiratory Failure and was dependent on tracheostomy (an opening to the trachea to help with breathing). During an observation on 3/4/24 at 11:44 a.m. in the second level nursing floor, there was a drip of clear liquid on top of Resident 50's nightstand just directly above the end of the used suction catheter that was filled with white frothy sputum (mucus). During an interview on 3/4/24 at 11:50 a.m. with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1), RN 1 verbalized that suction catheters must be flushed with normal saline solution after each use to clear the catheter from secretions. RN 1 further verbalized the table must also be cleansed and disinfected. RN 1 acknowledged the suction catheter was not flushed, and Resident 50's nightstand was not cleaned and disinfected.
