This survey cited 16 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 0557 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to be treated with respect and dignity and to retain and use personal possessions. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews, facility staff failed to treat three out of 24 sampled residents with dignity (Residents 6, 82, and 408) when these residents have to wait 30-45 minutes for staff to answer their request/call light for assistance. Failure to answer a resident's call light in a timely manner did not ensure these residents were treated in a dignified manner. Findings: 1. Review of Resident 6's Minimum Data Set(MDS-an assessment tool) dated 11/09/2023, indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE], had multiple diagnoses including: respiratory failure, obesity, kidney failure leading to dialysis, wound near the tail bone. His MDS indicated he has a urinary catheter and was incontinent of bowel. During an interview on 02/06/2024 at 10:04 AM. Resident 6's responsible party stated .my dad would have a BM and I would be on the phone with him and sometimes it could be as long as 45 minutes before they get to him. Staff would tell us that they were short staff and that they were taking care of other patients before they could come help my dad. 2. Review of Resident 408's MDS assessment, dated 11/22/2023, indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her MDS indicated she had multiple diagnoses including: paraplegia (paralysis of arms or legs), depression, respiratory problems, anxiety, chronic pain, and arthritis. Her MDS indicated she was always incontinent (unable to control) of urine and bowel. During an interview on 01/29/2024 at 12:16 PM, Resident 408 stated she had to wait for 45-30 minutes (regarding her call lights). she feels that the newly transferred residents were treated like second class citizens compared to the rest of the residents here. 3. Review of Resident 82's MDS assessment, dated 10/26/2023, indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His MDS indicated he had multiple diagnoses including: cancer, malnutrition, breathing problems, and stomach feeding tube. His MDS indicated he needed supervision with transfers and sitting to standing. During an interview on 02/02/2024 at 2:09 PM, Resident 82 stated it could be 5 minutes to 35 minutes for staff to respond to his call light.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure a shower area was clean after use and two window screens were missing. Failure to clean a shower after use,and properly maintained window screens did not ensure residents were provided with a clean, comfortable, homelike environment. Lack of a window screen has the potential for flying pest to come into a resident's indoor living space. Findings: During initial tour with the Director of Nursing(DON) on 1/29/24 at 3:07 PM, the shower room across room [ROOM NUMBER] was found used and not cleaned: 1. Strands of hair on the tile floor. 2. A commode container full of empty plastic personal hygiene product bottles (lotions and shampoo containers). 3. A safety razor on the floor. 4. An opened body wash bottle labelled 211A on the grab bar. 5. Used plastic gloves in the recessed soap dish. During a concurrent interview with the DON, she stated staff should not leave the shower in this manner and staff should clean the shower after use. During initial tour with RN 6 on 1/29/24 at 10:38 AM, room [ROOM NUMBER] and 424 bed B has no window screens. During a concurrent interview, RN 6 said she would get maintenance to fix that.

F 0585 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to inform residents about the facility's grievance process. Seven out of seven sampled residents were not aware of the grievance process (Residents 5, 19, 24, 32, 55, 57, and 72). For Resident 408, the facility failed to complete the resolution review of the grievance process. Failure to inform or follow the grievance process, did not ensure concerns from the residents or their responsible parties were addressed in an appropriate and timely manner. Findings: During the resident council meeting with residents on 01/30/2024 at 2:04 PM, Residents 5, 19, 24, 32, 55, 57, and 72 were asked about the facility's grievance process. All seven residents stated they were not aware the facility had such a process. During initial rounds on 01/30/2024 at 10:08 AM, Resident 408 stated she had eight boxes of personal items missing during her transfer to this facility. She stated the facility claimed her friend had all her missing belongings. She claimed that the facility had been lying about the whereabouts of her belongings. During an interview on 02/05/2024 at 12:04 PM, Resident 408's friend stated she only had limited possession of Resident 408's belongings. She stated she does not have eight boxes of Resident 408's belongings. She stated she has told the facility she does not have these missing items. During an interview on 02/06/2024 at 3:17 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated they were aware of Resident 408's missing belongings and filed a Theft & Loss Report. Review of the report with the DON indicated under Actions(s) Taken & Resolution: (include proof or resolution) .Friend . is in possession of her belongings . The DON was asked to provide proof that she followed up with Resident 408's friend and/or Resident 408 to see if the belongings were with the friend and/or Resident 408 was happy with the resolution. The DON was unable to provide the information requested. Review of the facility's policy titled Grievance Procedure, revised on 10/23, indicated .The resident will be informed of the resolution to determine that he/she is satisfied with the actions taken.

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** 2. During an interview on 02/06/2024 at 10:05 AM, Resident 6 stated he has been a dialysis patient for a long time. Residents Affected - Some Review of Resident 6's MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated he was not on hemodialysis. However, review of Resident 6's care plan indicated he has a dialysis care plan initiated on 03/08/2023. During an interview on 02/06/2024 at 4:19 PM, the MDS nurse stated the November 2023 MDS assessment for Resident 6 regarding dialysis was inaccurately coded and she will upload a corrected MDS later. 3. Record review of Resident 13's MDS dated [DATE], indicated she had three pressure injuries and had a catheter to manage urinary incontinence. During an interview on 02/01/24 at 2:16 PM, the MDS nurse stated Resident 13's pressure injuries were coded incorrectly in her MDS assessment. There was only one pressure injury not three. The RAI manual clearly states to code skin lesions as pressure injury when both pressure and moisture are present. The MDS nurse was unable to answer why staff were identifying the sacra wound as a moisture related skin damage and not a pressure injury. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure assessments for three of 24 sampled residents (Residents 4, 6, and 13) were accurate when; 1. The Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool) for Resident 4's dental assessment was inaccurate. 2. The MDS indicated Resident 6's hemodialysis treatment was inaccurate. 3. The MDS indicated Resident 13 had three pressure ulcers when there was only one. Failure to complete accurate assessments could potentially harm the residents by not providing needed care and services to maintain their highest level of functioning. Findings: 1. Resident 4 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnosis including hypertension (high blood pressure) and mild cognitive impairment. During an observation on 1/30/24 at 12:11 PM, Resident 4's upper denture was placed in a denture cup on top of an overbed table. Resident 4 then removed her lower denture during mealtime. During a concurrent interview, Resident 4 stated, I cannot close my mouth and chew when I use it (dentures). During an interview on 2/7/24 at 10:51 AM, the Social Worker (SW) said, Resident 4 was admitted already with dentures. Review of Resident 4's MDS dated [DATE], indicated under oral/dental status, no natural teeth or tooth fragment(s) was not checked.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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** 6. During a concurrent record review and interview on 02/06/2024 at 2:57 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, extreme fear monitoring was identified as a target behavior for use of Seroquel (an anti-psychotic medication). Review of Resident 407's behavioral care plan indicated there was no documentation regarding extreme fear. LVN 1 stated the extreme fear Resident 407 was experiencing was this feeling that someone are going to come and get her. LVN 1 confirmed that extreme fear should have been care planned in Resident 407's care plan. 7. Review of Resident 6's dialysis care plan, initiated on 03/08/2023, indicated staff documented his dialysis access site as his left arm. While other documents such as physician orders and nursing notes indicated his dialysis site was on his right arm. During an interview 02/02/2024 at 2:11 PM, RN 9 was asked to confirm which arm Resident 6's dialysis access site was on. Confirmation fax from the dialysis center indicated Resident 6's dialysis access site was on his right arm. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan (CP) for each resident that included measurable objectives and specific interventions for seven of 24 sampled residents (Residents 4, 7, 70, 78, 38, 407, and 6) when: 1. No individualized person-centered CP was developed for Resident 4's pain due to unfit dentures. 2. No individualized person-centered CP was developed for Resident 7's use of Lovenox (a blood-thinning drug used to prevent formation of blood clots). 3. No individualized person-centered CP was developed for Resident 70's use of Zolpidem (a medication primarily used for the treatment of sleeping problems). 4. CP did not reflect the use of gloves, tab and bed alarms for Resident 78. 5. CP did not reflect management of planned weight loss for Resident 38. 6. CP for Resident 407 did not address the specific target behavior (extreme fear) for the use of Seroquel (an antipsychotic medication). 7. Dialysis CP did not reflect the accurate dialysis access for Resident 6. (Dialysis is a procedure to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys stop working properly). These failures had the potential for not meeting the residents' nursing needs and goals to attain their highest practicable well-being. Findings: 1. During an observation on 1/30/24 at 12:11 PM, Resident 4's upper denture was placed in a denture cup on top of an overbed table. Resident 4 then removed her lower denture during mealtime.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to prevent the development of an avoidable pressure ulcer (PU) for one of 14 sampled residents (Resident 22) when interventions were not implemented to avoid skin breakdown for Resident 22. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice resulted in the development of Stage 2 PU for Resident 22. Definition/Stages for Pressure Ulcer/Pressure Injury (also called a bed sore, is an injury to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin. Stage I: Intact skin with a localized area of non-blanchable redness (non-blanchable: redness persists and does not fade or turn white after removal of fingertip pressure). Stage II: Partial-thickness loss of skin with exposed upper skin layer. The wound bed is pink. May also present as an intact or ruptured blister. Fat tissue and deeper tissues (muscle, tendons, bone) are not visible. Findings: Resident 22 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia (complete paralysis on one side of the body) and hemiparesis (partial weakness on one side of the body) and diabetes (abnormally high sugar level in the blood). The facility assessed Resident 22 as high risk for developing pressure ulcers. Review of Resident 22's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool) dated 7/6/23 indicated, Resident 22 needed extensive assistance with bed mobility, was always incontinent with bladder and bowel functions, and had impairment on one side of both upper and lower extremities. Resident 22 had no pressure injuries on admission. During an initial tour observation on 01/29/24 at 3:04 PM, Resident 22 was lying in bed with pillow under his head, watching on his laptop. There was no device to offload pressure from his coccyx (tailbone). During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/2/24 at 11:31 AM with RN 2, Resident 22's Wound Management Detail Report (WMDR) dated 8/9/23 was reviewed. The WMDR indicated, Resident 22 was observed on 8/4/23 to have a PU on the coccyx with a measurement of 1 centimeter by 1 centimeter (1 cm x 1 cm). RN 2 said, the Stage 2 PU was discovered on 8/2/23 and was facility acquired. Review of Resident 22's WMDR dated 8/11/23 indicated, Resident 22 had a Stage 2 injury on his coccyx with a measurement of 2.5 cm x 1 cm, with irregular wound edges and declining wound healing status. The facility was waiting for the delivery of the low air low mattress (LAL - mattress designed to prevent and treat pressure wounds). Review of Resident 22's WMDR dated 9/1/23 indicated, Resident 22 was observed on 8/31/23 to have a Stage 2 injury on his coccyx measuring 3 cm x 1.4 cm x 0.2 cm, irregular wound edges with slight maceration (softening and breaking down of skin resulting from prolonged exposure to moisture) and declining wound healing status. The facility was waiting for the delivery of the LAL mattress.

The Journal of Legal Nurse Consulting, Volume 23 Spring 2012 indicated, Pressure ulcers occur over bony prominences like the heels, sacrum, ischial tuberosities (sitting bones) or the greater trochanters (hip bones). Pressure, coupled with other comorbid states (medical conditions that are simultaneously present in a patient) such as diabetes, can further complicate treatment and increase risk. Pressure can be lessened by implementing an appropriate pressure-redistribution support surface to both the seated and recumbent (lying) surfaces that the patient's body contacts at the first sign of risk.

Review of Resident 14's record titled Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS: a standardized resident assessment tool), dated 01/16/2024, indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She was admitted to the facility with multiple diagnoses including: heart problem, high blood pressure, bladder problem, stroke, paralysis on one side of her body, breathing problems, and chronic pain. Her MDS indicated she was dependent on staff for toileting hygiene, transfers, and lower body dressing. During a concurrent interview and record review on 02/07/2024 at 05:27 PM with the DON. The DON stated ROM was ordered for Resident 14 every shift. Review of Resident 14's electronic charting indicated there were documentation omission for 02/01/2024 no day shift, 02/02/2024 no day shift, 02/08/2024 no night shift or day shift, 01/10/2024 no pm shift, 01/11/2024 no day shift. The DON stated there would be additional documentation if there were refusals or if the resident was unavailable or if staff were unable to perform ROM. The DON stated standard of practice was if it is not documented, it was not done. Review of facility policy titled Range of Motion Exercises last revised on 6/22 indicated, .Range of motion (ROM) exercises are performed to maintain and improve muscle strength and tone; prevent contractures; maintain circulatory integrity of the limbs; enhance the utilization of a body part in physical activity and prevent complications and disability .2. Nursing staff will be responsible for implementing the physician's order for ROM .Documentation: 1. CNAs will record actions and report any abnormal observations to licensed nurse . Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide preventive treatment and services to maintain and improve range of motion (ROM) for four of 14 sampled residents (Residents 12, 22, 38, and 14) when the physician's order for ROM exercises was not implemented. This deficient practice had the potential to limit the residents' ROM or possible development/worsening of a contracture. According to a Medical Dictionary, retrieved from http://medical dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/range+of+motion+exercise, on 2/16/24, indicated, . Range of motion is one aspect of exercise important for increasing or maintaining joint function . Passive range of motion is movement applied to a joint solely by another person or persons or a passive motion machine. When passive range of motion is applied, the joint of an individual receiving exercise is completely relaxed while the outside force moves the body part, such as a leg or arm, throughout the available range. Injury, surgery, or immobilization of a joint may affect the normal joint range of motion . The Medical Dictionary defines contractures as, the shortening of muscles and joints which limit and interfere with daily functioning. Findings: 1. Resident 12 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia ((loss of thinking, reasoning and remembering skills), cerebral infarction (also known as stroke-damage to the brain from interruption of its blood supply), hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness or the inability to move on one side of the body).

F 0758 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure three of eight sampled residents (Residents 409, 70, and 86) were free from unnecessary psychotropic medications (drugs that affect brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) when the facility did not ensure: 1.Resident 409 a. was free from side effects due to the use of Haldol. Haldol is an anti-psychotic drug used to treat symptoms of psychosis. Symptoms of psychosis includes hallucinations (perceiving sights, sounds, smells, tastes, or touches that are not real), delusions (false beliefs), and dementia (loss of the ability to think, remember, learn, make decisions, and solve problems). b. Aggressive behaviors were managed via non-medication means such as modifying smoking rules. c. Haldol dosage was not lowered for 96 days when side effects were first identified. 2. Resident 70 a. there was no clinical indication for the use of Citalopram (an antidepressant drug). b. order for Ativan (also known as lorazepam, a medication used to treat anxiety [a condition characterized by extreme fear and worry that interferes with daily activities]) PRN (as needed) did not have a stop date. 3. Resident 86 a. there was no clinical indication for the use of Risperdal (an antipsychotic medication). b. order for Ativan PRN did not have a stop date. These failures led to Resident 409 developing side effects from the use of Haldol and being put on Ingrezza. Ingrezza is a medication to counteract the side effects of Haldol. For Residents 70 and 86 these failures had the potential for them to receive unnecessary psychotropic medications, be exposed to adverse health consequences from the medications, which could negatively impact the residents' mental, physical, and psychosocial well-being (having to do with the mental, emotional, and social aspects of a resident's life).

So, we put one in place and this is the consequence of that. Some residents can get agitated, when there's a change. The above record reviews and staff interviews were shared with the DIP. The DIP agreed that issues around smoking appear to be a trigger for Resident 409's aggressive behaviors. The DIP was asked if the facility was medicating Resident 409 for a facility imposed smoking restrictions such as: scheduled smoking times, restrictions to cigarettes, and giving up his lighter, the DIP did not verbally answer and just shrugged his shoulders.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to maintain a sanitary environment by neglecting to properly clean one of the four fixed kettles between serving porridge and soup for lunch. Additionally, kitchen prep surface drainage holes, encrusted with dried, unidentifiable food particles, were exposed and untreated. This failure had the potential to result in potential health risks to residents. Findings: During a kitchen observation on Tuesday, 01/30/24 at 10:28 AM, four large empty built-in cooking kettles were noticed, with only the last kettle functioning. At 10:36 AM, a stainless-steel prep table near the outside of dietary offices revealed a hole approximately 2 inches in diameter, uncovered, and encrusted with food residue. Another prep table on the opposite side of the room had a similar uncovered hole, also encrusted with unknown residue. In an interview on 01/30/2024 at 10:55 AM with S14 (Dietary cook), S14 explained the process of cleaning the kettle, stating, I rinse after cooking. If using 'creamier' items that leave residue on the sides, I will sometimes scrub if needed. During an interview with S04at 2 PM on 01/30/2024, S04 indicated dietetic staff should clean and sanitize fixed equipment between each use. Review of the facility's P & P titled Food Service Equipment Safety and Sanitation last dated 9/2033, page 2 of 3 indicated for Steam Kettles Positive locking devices shall be provided to hold steam kettles in the desired position.

For Residents 25 and 397, staff failed to document their fluid intake accurately. For Resident 396 an anti-psychotic target behavior was documented incorrectly. Failure to accurately document fluid intake or target behavior has the potential for the care team to act or recommend treatment based on inaccurate information. Findings: 1. Review of Resident 397's record titled Minimum Data Set(MDS- an assessment form), dated 11/10/2023, indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including: gastric reflux (stomach acid flows back towards mouth), anxiety, asthma, diabetes (blood sugar control issues), noncompliant with medical treatment, and localized fluid retention. Review of Resident 397's matrix provided by the facility 01/31/2024 indicated he had excessive unplanned weight loss. Part of managing a resident with unplanned weight loss is accurate documentation regarding their food and fluid intakes. Interviews with direct care staff indicated they were not recording fluid intake accurately. Review of their fluid intake documentation found inaccurate entries. During an interview on 02/07/2024 at 10:01 AM CNA 3 stated we combine the whole meal including the fluid intake we don't separate those out unless they have extra fluids outside of the tray or they ask for extra fluid then we chart those. During an interview with the Registered Dietitian (RD) on 02/07/2024 at 9:59 AM, the RD stated her expectation was that staff should be charting the meal percent eaten separate from the fluid intake. For example, 50% consumed in food and 250 cc in fluid. Those two should be charted separately, not combined as stated by CNA 3. 2. Review of Resident 396's record titled MDS, dated 11/13/2023, indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including: anxiety, depression, schizophrenia (mental illness-seeing or hearing things that are not there), and bipolar (mental illness with extreme mood swings). During a concurrent record review and interview with RN 8 on 02/07/2024 at 9:11 AM, RN 8 stated the target behavior for Resident 396 for bipolar was hallucination e.g. hearing voices, paranoia e.g. suspicious of staff, and delusion e.g. seeing things or person. RN 8 was asked to differentiate between hallucination and delusion. RN 8 agreed that the target behavior delusion seeing things or person needs to be revised/clarified. 3. Review of Resident 25's record titled MDS, dated 10/10/2023, indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including: anemia (low blood cells), high blood pressure, kidney failure (kidney produces urine and elimates toxins) require dialysis (the process of removing excess water and toxins from the blood in people with kidney disease), and diabetes.
