What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 10 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. 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 resident received reasonable accommodation of needs for one of 22 sampled residents (Resident 9) by failing to ensure resident was in a comfortable position during meals. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice resulted in Resident 9 in feeling exhausted and uncomfortable while eating. Findings: During a record review of Resident 9's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 9 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of spinal stenosis (a tightening of the spinal canal that causes nerve pain), osteoporosis (weakening of bones, leading to a decrease in bone density and an increased risk for fractures), and reduced mobility. During a record review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment and tool), dated 10/29/2024, the MDS indicated the resident's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 9 required setup or clean-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up; resident completes activity) for eating. During a record review of Resident 9's care plan, dated 8/26/2024, the care plan indicated Resident 9 had a potential for alteration in nutrition related to lack of coordination, spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine which puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves), and decline in activities of daily living. The care plan interventions were to assess likes and dislikes, provide needed assistance during meals, and monitor through nutrition alert meeting as needed. During an observation on 11/4/2024 at 12:10 PM in the dining room, Resident 9 was sitting on the dining chair and the dining table was at Resident 9's eye level. Resident 9 held the lunch plate on her lap with her left hand while she used her right hand to feed herself. During a concurrent observation in the dining room and interview on 11/4/2024 at 12:17 PM with Restorative Nursing Aide (RNA 1), RNA 1 stated Resident 9 was hunched and sitting in the chair. RNA 1 stated every time Resident 9 was straightened up she would go back to the hunched position. RNA 1 stated they had tried to add cushion to her chair to make her higher so she could eat on the table, but Resident 9's feet would hang on the chair and Resident 9 did not like her feet to hang. RNA 1 stated the table was high for Resident 9. RNA 1 stated Resident 1 was eating with her plate on her lap. RNA 1 stated Resident 9 ate with her plate on her lap all the time.

F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an observation on 11/4/2024 at 12:24 PM of Resident 9 in the dining room, Resident 9 finished eating lunch and placed her plate and cup on the table, she sighed and stated, I'm exhausted. During an interview on 11/7/2024 at 8:53 AM with Resident 9, Resident 9 stated when she ate in the dining room, she could not reach her food on the dining table. Resident 9 stated staff put her plate on the table, and she tried to eat on the table. Resident 9 stated she got tired, and it was not comfortable eating on the table since the table was so high for her. Resident 9 stated it was hard to eat with the plate on the table since she had to tilt her head back each time she ate. Resident 9 stated it was horrible since the table was too high. Resident 9 stated, It's like feeding a midget. Resident 9 stated it was ideal for her to eat at the table instead of holding her plate on her lap while eating but felt that holding her plate was better than reaching up to the table while eating. Resident 9 stated when she reached up to the table to eat, it hurt all over her bones and was not comfortable. Resident 9 stated she was always placed at the regular table where it was too high for her. Resident 9 stated, I don't think people realize it, it's hard for me to eat like that. During an interview on 11/7/2024 at 9:35 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated residents should eat at their comfortable level. The DON stated the table should be above the waist and the residents' hands should be resting comfortably on the table. The DON stated the table should not be positioned at the residents' face while eating since this was not the proper way for a resident to be positioned while eating. The DON stated this could result in a bad posture while eating, cause discomfort and place the residents at risk for aspiration (inhaling small particles of food or drops of liquid into the lungs). During a record review of the facility's Policy and Procedure titled, Quality of Life - Accommodation of Needs, revised 11/2010, the policy indicated the resident's individual needs and preferences, including the need for adaptive devices and modifications to the physical environment, shall be evaluated upon admission and reviewed on an ongoing basis.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow its Change in a Resident's Condition or Status policy by failing to notify the physician regarding a significant weight loss for one of three sampled residents (Resident 31) as indicated on the care plan. This deficient practice had the potential to result in delayed provision of necessary care and services. Findings: During a record review of Resident 31's admission Record indicated Resident 31 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of hyperlipidemia (a condition in which there are high levels of fat particles in the blood), dementia (progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills) and left artificial hip joint. During a record review of Resident 31's Weight Tracking System Report, the record was as follows: 5/29/2024 184 lbs 6/3/2024 184 lbs 6/6/2024 161 lbs (-23 lbs in three days, 12.5% weight loss) 6/10/2024 160 lbs (-24 lbs, 13.0% weight loss) During a record review of Resident 31's Nutrition Risk Assessment, dated 6/3/2024, the record indicated care planned weight goal was to maintain weight 184 lbs plus or minus six (6) lbs by the next review. During a record review of Resident 31's Interdisciplinary Notes, dated 6/10/2024, the record indicated a weekly weight loss of 23 lbs and the physician was notified of the weight loss (4 days after). During a record review of Resident 31's Registered Dietician Notes, dated 6/11/2024, the record indicated Resident 31 was referred to nutrition alert due to 24 pounds, 13.0% weight loss in the past week.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few assessment and tool), dated 8/26/2024, the record indicated the resident's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making was intact. The MDS indicated Resident 31 required substantial/ maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for shower/bathe self, upper and lower body dressing, and chair/bed-to-chair transfer. During a record review of Resident 31's nutrition care plan, dated 9/25/2024, the care plan indicated monitor weekly weights per facility protocol, report significant changes in weight to physician and registered dietician. During an interview on 11/6/2024 at 3:28 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), LVN 2 stated Resident was 184 lbs upon admission on [DATE]. LVN 2 stated on 6/3/2024 Resident 31 was still 184 lbs, then three days later Resident 31 weighed 161 lbs (-23 lbs). LVN 2 stated five (5) lbs weight loss in one week or one month needed to be reported to the physician. LVN 2 stated the physician needed to assess Resident 31 for her weight loss. LVN 2 stated the physician and registered dietician needed to be contacted as soon as the weight loss was noted. During a concurrent record review of Resident 31's electronic medical records with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated there was no physician notification on 6/6/2024 for Resident 31's weight loss. LVN 2 stated the physician should have been contacted as soon as they were contacted by the Restorative Nursing Aide of Resident 31's weight. LVN 2 stated the licensed nurses still needed to notify the physician since Resident 31's weight loss was more than 5 lbs. LVN 2 stated the physician should have been informed since Resident 31 might not be eating, have a poor appetite, require laboratory work, and require physician intervention to determine the reason why Resident 31 lost weight. During an interview on 11/7/2024 at 9:41 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated weight loss was a change of condition. The DON stated significant weight loss was 5% weight loss or weight gain in one month or 10% weight loss or weight gain in 6 months. The DON stated the physician should have been informed of planned and unplanned weight loss. The DON stated the standard of practice was for the licensed nurses to notify the physician of the weight loss within the shift or endorsed to the next shift to notify the physician. The DON stated there was going to be a delay in treatment for weight loss when the physician was not notified. During a record review of the facility's P&P titled, Change in a Resident's Condition or Status, revised 2/2021, the policy indicated the nurse will notify the resident's attending physician or physician on call when there has been a significant change in the resident's physical/emotional/mental condition. Notifications will be made within twenty-four (24) hours of a change occurring in the resident's medical/mental condition or status.

F 0583 Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential. 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 failed to maintain confidentiality of the resident's electronic health record (EHR) for one (1) of 22 sampled residents (Resident 45) by failing to turn off the computer screen and leaving it unattended, exposing the resident's EHR which included the resident's medical condition, list of medications, and other information regarding resident care to others not authorized to view. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to result in the violation of Resident 45's privacy and confidentiality. Findings: During a review of Resident 45's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included Parkinson's disease (a brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, also known as an enlarged prostate, is a noncancerous condition in which the prostate gland becomes larger than normal), and insomnia (a common sleep disorder that can make it hard to fall asleep or stay asleep) During a review of Resident 45's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated assessment tool), dated 8/27/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 45 was assessed to have moderately impaired cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 45 was assessed to be needing substantial/ maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort. helper lifts, holds trunk or limbs, and provides more than half the effort) in toileting hygiene, shower/ bathe self, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/ taking off footwear, roll left and right, toilet transfer, tub/shower transfer, and walk 10-150 feet. During observation in front of Resident 45's room on 11/6/2024 at 11:02 AM, Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) went inside Resident 45's room. LVN 1 did not turn off the computer monitor on top of the medication cart which was parked along the hallway where other residents and/ or facility staff were passing by. During a concurrent observation and interview with LVN 1 on 11/6/2024 at 11:08 AM, LVN 1 was observed leaving Resident 45's room and proceeded to use the computer on top of the medication cart after administering medication to Resident 45. LVN 1 stated, I should have closed the chart monitor (computer monitor) for Residents 45's privacy. It is important to turn off computer because of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA- a federal law that protects sensitive health information from disclosure without the patient's consent) and to protect the privacy of Resident 45's medical record. During an interview with LVN 2 on 11/6/2024 at 11:25 AM, LVN 2 stated, the licensed nurses must ensure that the staff close the EHR/ computer monitor on the top of the medication cart to prevent exposure of residents' information. LVN 2 stated it is the residents' rights not to have the resident's health information exposed to others.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide Restorative Nursing Services (a program available in nursing homes to help residents maintain any progress made during therapy treatments, enabling them to achieve their highest practicable level of functioning) as ordered by the physician to increase, prevent, or maintain range of motion (ROM, full movement potential of a joint) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 2). This deficient practice placed Resident 2 at risk for decline in physical functions and developing contractures (condition of shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often leading to deformity and rigidity of joints) in the extremities (a limb of the body, such as the arm or leg) for not receiving the ordered exercises. Findings: During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the record indicated Resident 2 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs), atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow), and heart failure (a lifelong condition in which the heart muscle cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs for blood and oxygen). During a review of Resident 2's Physician's Order, dated 11/16/2023, the record indicated RNA for bilateral upper extremities (BUE, both arms from shoulder to hands) / bilateral lower extremities (BLE, both legs from hip to foot) active range of motion (AROM, the ROM that can be achieved when opposing muscles contract and relax, resulting in joint movement) five (5) times a week as tolerated. During a review of Resident 2's Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA) Daily Charting, the record indicated Resident 2 received RNA services for BUE and BLE AROM as tolerated as follows for the month of September 2024.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Coordinator (CPC), CPC stated Resident 2's care plan indicated Resident 2 had RNA services five times a week for upper and lower extremities as tolerated. CPC also stated the physician had ordered RNA services to be done five times per week. CPC stated RNA services were only being done three (3) times a week and not 5 times a week per physician order. CPC stated there were no notes indicating Resident 2's refusal of RNA services for the missing two times per week for RNA services. Residents Affected - Few During a concurrent review of Resident 2's RNA Daily Charting interview on 11/7/2024 at 9:12 AM with Restorative Nursing Aide 1 (RNA 1), RNA 1 stated Resident 2 received RNA services 5 times a week. RNA 1 stated Resident 2 would refuse to complete RNA services once a month. RNA 1 stated Resident 2's refusals for RNA services should be documented on the chart. RNA 1 stated she did not see any notes for Resident 2 refusing RNA services. RNA 1 stated it was important for Resident 2 to receive her RNA services to prevent her from becoming contracted since Resident 2 spent most of her time in bed and refused to get out of bed. During a concurrent review of Resident 2's Physician's Order Summary on 11/7/2024 at 9:52 AM with Director of Occupational Therapy (DOT), DOT stated the physician had ordered RNA services for upper and lower extremity exercises and range of motion. DOT stated the physician ordered RNA services 5 times throughout the week to maintain functional status throughout. DOT stated 5 times per week RNA services was recommended for maintenance of general functional status, range of motion, and activity tolerance since Resident 2 generally choose to stay in bed. DOT stated based on the physician's order, the RNA should have followed the physician's order unless the resident refused services which should be documented in the Refused section. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Resident Mobility and Range of Motion, revised 7/2017, the policy indicated residents with limited range of motion will receive treatment and services to increase and/or prevent a further decrease in range of motion. During a record review of the facility's P&P titled, Restorative Nursing Services, revised 7/2017, the policy indicated restorative goals may include, but are not limited to supporting and assisting the resident in participating in the development and implementation of his/her plan of care.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide interventions to prevent accidents (any unexpected or unintentional incident, which results or may result in injury or illness ) for three (3) of 3 sampled residents (Resident 61, 29, and 24) by failing to: 1. Ensure a functional bed sensor pad (alerting device intended to monitor a resident's movement) for Resident 61's use, as indicated on the physician's order and failed to ensure resident's call light was within reach, as indicated on the fall care plan. 2. Identify and eliminate all foreseeable accident hazards and include care plan interventions to address underlying cause of fall for Resident 24 who had a history of falls on 5/25/2024, 7/13/2024, 8/30/2024, and 9/27/2024. 3. Ensure Resident 29's sensor pad alarm was properly positioned and turned on and worked at all times. These deficient practices placed Residents 61, 24, and 29 at risk for falls and injury which had the potential to result in serious consequences like fractures (break in the bone), hospitalization, and death.

The DON stated it was the responsibility of the CNAs and the CNs to make sure the sensor pad alarms are turned on. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, revised on 3/2018, the P&P indicated the following: Based on previous evaluation and current data, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling. The staff, with the input of the attending physician, will implement a Resident-centered fall prevention plan to reduce the specific risk factor(s) of falls for each Resident at risk or with a history of falls. Examples of initial approaches might include exercise and balance training, rearrangement of room furniture, improving footwear, changing the lighting, etc. If falling recurs despite initial interventions, stall will implement additional or different interventions, or indicate why the current approach remains relevant. If underlying causes cannot be readily identified or corrected, staff will try various interventions, cased on assessment of the nature of category of falling, until falling is reduced or stopped, or until the reason for the continuation of the falling is identified as unavoidable. In conjunction with the attending physician, staff will identify and implement relevant interventions (e.g. hip padding or treatment of osteoporosis, as applicable) to try to minimize serious consequences of falling. Position-change alarms will not be used as the primary or sole intervention to prevent falls, but rather will be used to assist the staff in identifying patterns and routines of the Resident. The use of alarms will be monitored for efficacy and staff will respond to alarms in a timely manner. If the Resident continues to fall, stall will re-evaluate the situation and whether it is appropriate to continue or change current interventions. As needed, the attending physician will help the staff reconsider possible causes that may not previously have been identified.

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 the drug regimen for one (1) of five sampled residents (Resident 17) was free from unnecessary drugs by failing to assess the continued need for Tylenol (acetaminophen- used relieve mild to moderate pain from headaches, muscle aches, and to reduce fever) after it was not administered as needed for pain for more than ninety (90) days. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 17 to suffer adverse reactions from unnecessary drug including bleeding easily and bruising. Findings: During a review of Resident 17's admission Record, the admission record indicated Resident 17 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included major depressive disorder (MDD- a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), unspecified pain, and anxiety disorder (fear characterized by behavioral disturbances). During a review of Resident 17's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 9/6/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 17 was assessed having severely impaired cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. Resident 17 required setup or clean-up assistance with eating. Resident 17 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, lower body dressing, and toilet transfer. Resident 17 did not receive as needed pain medications as needed and did not have the presence of pain.
