This survey cited 6 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to review and revise the care plans of two of 13 sampled residents (Residents 31 and 37) at least quarterly and as needed in order to ensure the needs of Residents 31 and 37 were met. For Resident 31, after the facility assessed Resident 31 to be at risk for pressure injuries (skin injuries caused by prolonged and unrelieved pressure), the facility failed to review and revise the pressure injury care plan at least quarterly and after Resident 31 developed pressure injuries. For Resident 37, after the facility assessed Resident 37 to be at high risk for falling, the facility failed to review and revise the fall prevention care plans after each fall and add different interventions when the fall prevention interventions in the care plan proved ineffective in preventing Resident 37 from falling. These failures placed Resident 31 at risk for pressure injuries and Resident 37 at risk for falls. Findings: RESIDENT 31 A review of Resident 31's facesheet indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia, muscle weakness, and need for assistance with personal care. A review of Resident 31's admission skin evaluation, dated 4/11/21, indicated intact skin with no pressure injuries. A review of Resident 31's admission Braden Scale for predicting pressure injuries, dated 4/11/21, indicated Resident 31 was at risk for developing pressure injuries. The Braden assessment indicated the following six pressure injury risk factors for Resident 31: sensory perception was limited indicating the resident could not always communicate discomfort or the need to be turned and reposition or has limited ability feeling pain or discomfort, skin was occasionally moist requiring an extra linen change daily, spends majority of shift in chair or bed, is only able to make slight changes in position independently, rarely completes a meal and eats only half of food offered and moves feebly and during moves skin slides against sheets, chair or other devices. A review of Resident 31's clinical record indicated the facility developed a pressure injury prevention care plan for Resident 31 on 4/12/21 indicating: [Resident 31] has potential for pressure ulcer (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.

The care plan indicated the following interventions to prevent pressure injuries: administer medications as ordered ., administer treatments as ordered ., provide dressing to protect coccyx [tail bone area] from breakdown ., follow facility policies/protocols for the prevention/treatment of skin breakdown ., monitor nutritional status ., monitor any changes in skin status ., obtain and monitor lab as ordered ., treat pain as per orders, and attempt alternative methods if resident refuses treatment. A review of this care plan indicated it was revised twice: once on 4/22/21 (no new interventions added) and again on 3/17/23, with the indication that Resident 31 had developed two stage II pressure injuries, one on each buttock, and added the following interventions: clean left and right of coccyx wound areas with normal saline, pat dry and apply foam dressing ., medpass 2.0 (a dietary supplement) twice a day for wound healing ., monitor wound for healing and infection ., multiple vitamins/minerals daily ., vitamin C two times a day ., and zinc tablet one time a day. During an interview on 4/7/23, at 1:16 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) reviewed Resident 31's record and stated this was the facility's care plan for the prevention of pressure injuries for Resident 31. A review of Resident 31's Skin Evaluation dated 3/14/23, at 4:10 p.m., indicated Resident 31 had two pressure injuries: one stage 2 pressure injury (a shallow open ulceration of the skin) on the right buttock and one stage 2 pressure injury on the left buttock. During an interview on 4/7/23, at 1:16 p.m., the DON stated 3/14/23 was the date when the facility first detected these or any pressure injuries on Resident 31 since her admission on [DATE]. A review of Resident 31's care plans indicated care plan dated 3/15/23 titled open area on right coccyx and indicated the following interventions: lol air loss mattress ., notify physician and family ., continue application of dressing, multivitamins, vitamin C, zinc, med pass and monitor changes. A review of Resident 31's Skin Evaluation dated 4/3/23, at 3:54 p.m., indicated Resident 31 had developed a third pressure injury. Resident 31 had one stage 2 pressure injury on the right buttock and two stage 2 pressure injury on the left buttock. A review of Resident 31's care plans indicated no new care plan or care plan revisions to address this third pressure injury During an interview and record review on 04/07/23, at 1:16 p.m., the DON was asked about Resident 31's current pressure injuries and her risk factors for developing pressure injuries. The DON was also asked to review Resident 31's care plans and indicate when the care plans for the prevention of pressure injuries were created and updated. The DON stated she was unfamiliar with Resident 31 health conditions and clinical record. The DON stated the Nursing Supervisor was the best staff to interview about Resident 31 health conditions and review her clinical record. The stated care plans should be revised quarterly and upon change in conditions, such as development of a pressure injury. DON then left the interview to call the Nursing Supervisor. During an interview on 4/7/23, at 1:43 p.m., the Nursing Supervisor was asked about Resident 31's pressure injuries. The Nursing Supervisor stated Resident 31 first developed two and then a third one. The Nursing Supervisor was asked about Resident 31's risk factors for developing pressure injuries. The Nursing Supervisor stated Resident 31's skin was very moist because of incontinence, her sensory perception was limited, and immobility was a problem for her. The Nursing Supervisor was asked if, when and how care plans were created to mitigate these risk factors and prevent pressure injuries. The Nursing Supervisor stated she could not review Resident 31's care plans because of computer access problems.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some A review of the facility's policy and procedure for care planning titled MDS Comprehensive Care Planning, Revised August 2022, indicated: The skilled nursing facility (SNF) must develop and implement an individual, written comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident . that includes measurable objectives to be accomplished, the professional discipline responsible for each element of care and time frames to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychological needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment. A comprehensive care plan must be . a. Developed within seven days after the completion of the comprehensive assessment . b. Reviewed and revised by the IDT after each assessment including both the comprehensive and quarterly review assessments. It will be evaluated and updated as necessary by the nursing staff and other professional disciplines involved in the care of the residents at least quarterly and more often if there is a change in the resident's condition. RESIDENT 37 A review of Resident 37 facesheet indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Parkinson's disease (a brain disease causing uncontrollable movements, balance and coordination problems) and repeated falls. A review of Resident 37's Morse Risk for Falling Assessment, dated 4/12/22, indicated Resident 37 was at a High Risk for Falling due to the following fall risk factors: history of falls, multiple diagnoses, impaired gait and overestimation of personal limits. A review of Resident 37's clinical records indicated the Morse Risk for Falling Assessment was repeated for Resident 37 an additional eight times, on 4/13/22, 4/27/22, 6/15/22, 7/4/22, 7/18/22, 9/30/22, 10/7/22 and 1/6/23. The same assessment conclusion of High Risk for Falling remained unchanged in all these assessments. During an interview and record review on 4/7/23, at 11:30 a.m., the DON stated Resident 37 had seven documented falls since admission on [DATE], as indicated by a review of IDT [Interdisciplinary Team] Post Event Reports. The DON stated the IDT Post Event Reports indicated Resident 37 fell on: 4/27/22 (resident found of the floor next to the bed); 6/15/22 (resident found of the floor next to the bed); 7/4/22 (resident found of the floor next to the bed); 7/26/22 (fell to the floor while attempting to self-transfer from bed to toilet); 11/28/22 (found on the floor); 3/20/23 (resident slid from wheelchair to the floor) and 4/3/23 (resident found on the floor).

In total, Resident 37's fall care plan dated 4/12/22 was revised with additional interventions a total of four times, on 4/20/22, 6/17/22, 11/29/22, and 3/20/23. The second fall care plan was initiated on 4/13/22 and titled [Resident] has declined in her physical mobility r/t to recent fall at home . and had the following interventions initiated on 4/13/22: resident is weight bearing; requires stand by assistance; uses front wheeled chair; provide assistance with mobility; PT/OT [Physical Therapy/Occupational Therapy] evaluation and treatment; and required set up assistance of one staff. The third fall care plan was initiated on 4/20/23 and titled [Resident] uses tab alarms in bed and chair to prevent injury due to .attempts to transfer .unassisted . and the following interventions initiated on 4/20/23: anticipate and intervene for causes of falls; ensure consent for alarms; evaluate alarm quarterly; provide safe environment, glare free light, even floors free of spills and clutter; call light and personal items within reach; and bed in low position. A review of Resident 37's care plans indicated a fourth fall care plan titled Resident had unwitnessed non injury fall on 3/31/23 and had the following interventions: notify MD; notify family; neurological checks for 72 hours; monitor for signs and symptoms of complications for 72 hours; maintain fall precautions and remind resident not to remove tab alarm for safety. During an interview and record review on 04/07/23, at 11:30 a.m., the DON confirmed Resident 37 had fallen 10 times during her stay at the facility. The DON also confirmed the fall care plans and revisions indicated above. The DON stated fall care plans should be revised at least quarterly and after each fall. A review of facility policy and procedure titled Falls Prevention and Management Program, Revised ., indicated: As part of the skilled nursing facility's culture of safety, the falls prevention and management program serves to improve or maintain the quality of life of residents. Staff, in conjunction with the attending physician, consultant pharmacist, therapists and others, will properly assess a resident's risk for falling, provide adequate interventions to minimize that risk and try to prevent a resident from falling, and then evaluate the effectiveness of those interventions. The nursing function in a fall prevention program includes, but is not limited to: . Developing a plan of care to minimize a resident's fall risk and identify modifiable risk factors for falls . Being able to identify causative factors should a fall occur, then accelerate the care plan with new interventions to prevent further falls . If falling recurs despite initial interventions, staff will implement additional or different interventions or document why the current approach remains relevant.

F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility staff failed to assess and document a large bruise on one of 13 sampled residents, Resident 12. This failure could potentially result in an unrecognized safety issue for the resident when the cause of the bruise was unknown. Residents Affected - Few Findings: During an observation and concurrent interview on 4/3/23 at 11:38 a.m., Resident 12 had a dark purple bruise on her right forearm that was approximately 2.5 inches by 4 inches. Resident 12 stated she got the bruise when Unlicensed Staff A was helping her to the bathroom. When asked if the bruised area was painful, Resident 12 stated, This arm always hurts, but yes. During a record review on 4/4/23 at 11 a.m., Resident 12's electronic medical record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with medical diagnoses that included respiratory failure, bacterial pneumonia (lung infection), sepsis (blood infection), and difficulty in walking, among others. Resident 12's MDS (minimum data set, an assessment tool) dated 3/8/23 indicated her BIMS score was 15 (Brief Interview for Mental Status, a score of 15 indicates cognitively intact). Review of Resident 12's nurses' daily and weekly charting revealed no documentation of a large bruise on her right forearm or that she had reported any injury during toileting. During an interview on 4/5/23 at 4:16 p.m., Unlicensed Staff A stated she had not been working with Resident 12 too much, but she did when her coworker was on dinner break. Unlicensed Staff A stated she had asked her coworker how Resident 12 transfers, she answered Resident 12 needed minimal assistance, and she said Resident 12 had many bruises. Unlicensed Staff A stated she did not know how Resident 12 got the large bruise on her forearm. During a record review and concurrent interview on 4/5/23 at 4:24 p.m., Licensed Staff B stated residents' skin assessments were done once a week. Licensed Staff B stated she had not noticed a bruise on Resident 12's forearm, but she had not been at work for about five days. Licensed Staff B checked Resident 12's care plan and orders in the electronic medical record, and stated she could not find any documentation of a large bruise on Resident 12's right forearm. Licensed Staff B verified that if anyone had noted the bruise, it would be on Resident 12's care plan and there would be an order for monitoring of the site. During a record review and concurrent interview on 4/6/23 at 1:46 p.m., when queried, Licensed Staff C stated she saw the bruise on Resident 12's right forearm this morning (4/6/23). Licensed Staff C stated the doctor was notified (about the bruise), family was notified, and they were monitoring the bruise. Licensed Staff C stated they had asked the CNAs (certified nursing assistants) to be more gentle with Resident 12 as her skin was very fragile. When asked if Resident 12 had stated how she got the bruise, Licensed Staff C stated she had just looked at the bruise but did not ask Resident 12 about it. Licensed Staff C opened a progress note in Resident 12's electronic medical record, written by Licensed Staff B on 4/6/23. The note indicated Resident 12 had a bruise on her right arm that measured 8.5 cm (centimeters) by 6.5 cm, and that Resident 12 stated it probably happened when she transferred from the toilet to her wheelchair. During an interview on 4/7/23 at 11:11 a.m., Director of Nursing (DON) stated she did Resident 12's head-to-toe skin assessment on admit.
