F 0553 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Allow resident to participate in the development and implementation of his or her person-centered plan of care. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, record and policy review, the facility failed to include one of two residents (Resident 101) in two quarterly care plan meetings. This failure resulted in the potential for Resident 101 to receive Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) when her wishes were not to receive this treatment. Findings: Record review of Resident 101's medical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] for diabetes and kidney disease. Resident 101 was alert and oriented and her Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS-a screening tool used to assist with identifying a resident's current cognition) score was 15 indicating she had intact cognitive response (able to think and reason). Resident 101 made her own decisions about her health care. Her signed, [DATE], Physicians Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) indicated she wanted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). During an interview on [DATE], at 10:55 AM with Resident 101, she verbalized that she had not had a discussion with a staff member about what her discharge plans were or about her care plan. She indicated that she spoke one time with someone about her plan of care but that was in the beginning of her stay. Resident 101 stated that her wishes at the present time were not to be resuscitated if her heart and breathing stopped. During a concurrent interview and record review on [DATE], at 12:23 PM, with Minimum Data Set/ Infection Preventionist (MDS/IP) Coordinator, MDS/IP coordinator indicated, she discussed resident's wishes for CPR during quarterly assessment meetings. Residents would sign the hard copy of the quarterly assessment notes to confirm their attendance at the meeting. MDS/IP coordinator indicated she had quarterly meetings with Resident 101 on [DATE] and [DATE] and discussed Resident 101's CPR wishes. Both meeting notes indicated Resident 101 wanted CPR to be initiated. When the coordinator was asked to show Resident 101's confirming signature for the [DATE] meeting notes, the coordinator acknowledged that the meeting had not actually occurred. The MDS/IP coordinator was not able to provide the [DATE] quarterly assessment meeting notes to confirm Resident 101 was at that meeting. MDS/IP was unable to confirm when she last spoke with Resident 101 about her CPR wishes. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Procedure for Advanced Directive revised [DATE], the P&P indicated, The Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) shall review the resident's AHCD (advanced health care decision) or life sustaining measures prior to the quarterly care plan conference. If there was a change in the resident's status or desires the physician shall be notified to reassess the resident. 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.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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. Based on observation and interview, this requirement was not met when the facility failed to provide a sanitary environment for 18 of 53 sampled residents who used the shower near Nursing Station 1 (NS1), when the facility failed to clean a shower room between residents. Findings: In an interview on 5/4/2021, at 8:15 AM., Resident #20 stated, The shower room on station 1 is filthy. I almost don't want to put my feet on the ground in there. There is dirt on the floor and the curtains are filthy. I don't even consider myself clean when I come out. I've seen some of the other residents and I don't want to get infections from them. On 5/5/2021 at 8:30 AM the shower room on NS1 was observed to have dirty tile, shoe prints on floor, a plastic medicine cup and bits of plastic wrap, and drains clogged with debris and hair. In an interview on 5/5/2021 at 10:16 AM, Housekeeping (HK) confirmed that she was responsible for cleaning the shower room once each day, in the afternoon, and that it was expected that CNAs would clean in between residents. In an interview on 5/5/2021 at 10:28 AM, Rehabilitation Assistant (RH) stated, Showers are cleaned after each shower by the last person who assisted with a shower. In an interview on 05/05/2021 at 11:12 AM, Registered Nurse (RN B) stated, Showers are given right after breakfast. The showers should be cleaned after each resident is finished, and all personal belongings collected In an observation of the shower room on NS1 on 5/5/2021 at 11:14 AM, the shower room still appeared not to have been cleaned. The medicine cup, hair and plastic were still observed in shower drains, and dirty footprints were on the floor. In an observation on 5/6/2021 at 08:15 AM, the shower room on NS1 contained a dirty shower chair soiled with a brown substance. A similar substance appeared to be on the floor of the shower. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the substance to be feces, stating, This is unacceptable and should not be this way. CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) are supposed to clean between residents' showers.

There was a large colorful note on the wall that was unreadable because it was covered with cards and a calendar. Resident 26's wheel chair (w/c) was unlocked next to her bed. An automatic w/c anti-rollback device (a device that as the resident gets up, a pair of brake arms instantly grab the tires to prevent the chair from rolling backwards. The chair remains locked while the resident is out of the chair. They are used to prevent falls) was attached to Resident 26's w/c. This intervention was not on her care plan. The anti-rollback brake arms were not firmly attached to the wheels. LVN H pushed the w/c to demonstrate the device's function and the chair moved easily when it should have been locked. LVN H agreed that the anti-rollback device was not working correctly, because the w/c should not move when the resident was not in the chair. LVN H stated Resident 26 was not suppose to take herself to the bathroom but sometimes she did not use her call light and she would go to the bathroom by herself. LVN H pointed to a sign on the wall. The sign was covered up. She then uncovered the sign on the wall and it displayed the words [Resident 26's name] wait for help. She agreed that the sign was covered with a calendar and cards, and that Resident 26 could not read the sign because it was covered. During an interview on 5/6/2021, at 9:58 AM, with certified nurse assistant (CNA) T, she indicated that Resident 26 was a fall risk because she had fallen a few times. She said Resident 26 would fall at night in the bathroom when she would go by herself. CNA T indicated that last month she was assisting Resident 26 to the bathroom and Resident 26 fell. CNA T explained that she wheeled Resident 26 into the bathroom. Resident 26 held on to the grab bar next to the toilet and stood up. CNA T moved the w/c away from the Resident. Resident 26 then put her hand on the commode arm support and the commode tipped over. Resident 26 lost her balance and fell to the ground scratching her elbow and hitting her head. CNA T confirmed she was not close enough to Resident 26 to support her. No gait belt was used. CNA T was not aware of any new interventions that had been implemented since that fall. CNA T confirmed that Resident 26's anti-rollback device was not working and that it put her at risk for falls. During an interview on 5/06/2021, at 10:48 AM, with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR), she recommended that staff should use a gait belt when assisting residents with transfers. The DOR indicated that Resident 26 should be transferred with a gait belt. An interview on 5/6/2021, at 11:15 AM, with Director of Nursing (DON) and Director of Staff Development (DSD) confirmed that Resident 26's care plan had not been updated to reflect interventions for a gait belt with transfers and an anti-rollback device on her w/c. A review of Resident 66's medical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included a fracture of her right femur. Her MDS dated [DATE], section C indicated her BIM's score was 14, indicating her cognition was intact. Section G of the MDS indicated she needed limited assistance with the assistance of one staff for transferring, walking and toileting. She used a walker and w/c for locomotion. Section D recorded she was at risk for falls related to advanced age, decreased mobility, history of falls, impaired balance and muscle weakness. Section H recorded no bowel and bladder training.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 66 was observed in her bed. She had bruises on her forehead and under her eyes. She was barefoot. She stated she wore nothing on her feet at night. In the winter time she wore sticky socks. She deswcribed the socks they gave her a slippery. She stated she had to ask for socks if she wanted to wear them because they did not ask her. Her call light was clipped on her sheets up near the top of her bed. She sat up and reached her arm back to feel for her call light. She could not find it or reach it. She stated that once in a while I cannot get it with my arm backwards. She had an anti-rollback device on her w/c, but her w/c rolled forward and backwards when she was not in it. There was not a non-skid mat on top of her cushion in her w/c. During an interview on 5/05/2021, at 3:06 PM, with RN A, RN A indicated Resident 66's care plan interventions for her 4/3/2021 and 4/5/2021 falls included; frequent checks, keep the call light within reach and provide non-skid socks.

F 0726 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way that maximizes each resident's well being. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and interview the facility failed to ensure two out of three certified nursing assistant (CNA) (CNA Q and CNA P), were able to locate a resident's wishes for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This failure resulted in the potential for unnecessary or unwanted medical procedures being performed on them and violating their wishes. Findings: During an interview on [DATE], at 9:52 AM, with CNA Q, CNA Q stated that if she found Resident 45 unconscious and not breathing, she would check Resident 45's pulse and breathing and scream for help and initiate CPR. A record review on [DATE] at 9:55 AM, of Resident 45's Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) revealed that Resident 45's wishes were to not be resuscitated. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:56 AM, with CNA P, CNA P indicated that if she found Resident 45 unresponsive, without a pulse she would call a code red and start CPR. When asked where she would find Resident's 45 wishes for CPR she said there was a sticker on Resident 45's medical chart. CNA P went to the chart to show me and when she did not see a sticker she asked RN C where she would find it. RN C opened Resident 45's medical chart and showed CNA P, Resident 45's POLST. CNA P then indicated that Resident 45 is a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate). She agreed that she verbalized starting CPR on a resident that did not want it. She denied doing any CPR drills with a trainer. During an interview on [DATE], at 10:05 AM, with CNA Q, she indicated that she had been a CNA for 10 years and was CPR certified. She was unaware of where to find Resident 45's wishes for CPR. CNA Q walked to the nurses desk and grabbed Resident 45's chart and looked past the POLST sheet and flipped thru the chart. After one minute she was still looking. LVN E showed her where the information was found in the chart. CNA Q stated that Resident 45 did not want CPR. She confirmed that she should check the Resident's CPR wishes before she initiated CPR. She agreed that she verbalized starting CPR on a resident that did not want it. She denied doing any CPR drills with a trainer. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:28 AM, with Infection Preventionist (IP), she confirmed that she was responsible for competency over site. The last in-service on CPR was in 2019. She confirmed that when there was a resident that was not breathing and with no pulse the rule was to check the resident's wishes and then to call a code blue over the loud speaker. She said that education had fallen off since COVID. She agreed that education was needed and confirmed she had never done a CPR drill with staff.

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, residents' need to obtain dental care was not met when five of five sampled residents (Residents 20, 27, 31, 64 and 276) did not receive routine dental services. This resulted in pain, potential for choking, and potential for residents remaining on therapeutic diets (e.g., nectar thin liquids) unnecessarily. Residents Affected - Some Findings: A review of the facility's document titled, Policy & Procedure, Dental Services, dated 2/08/17, indicated, The facility will assist residents in obtaining routine and 24-hour emergency dental care. Procedure: A) Social services staff/nursing staff will assist in making appointments and notify the activities department of transportation needs to the dental services office. B) Staff will promptly within 3 days, refer residents with lost or damaged dentures for dental services. A review of the facility's document titled, Social Services--Hearing, Dental, Vision & Podiatry Evals dated 7/10/13 indicated that Social Services will maintain a current list, which is coordinated with nursing, to ensure that all residents with any dental, vision, hearing, or podiatry needs are seen by the consultant in this area. A physician's order is needed prior to any consultations. Resident 20 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including high cholesterol and heart failure. In a concurrent observation and interview on 5/4/2021 at 9:03 AM, Resident 20 was observed with no dentures in his mouth. Resident 20 stated, I lost my dentures about a month ago. They have not been replaced. It makes it hard for me to eat. In an interview on 5/4/21 at 9:48 AM, RN C stated, I am not seeing [his dentures] listed on his inventory. In a concurrent record review of Resident 20's (admitting) inventory sheet titled, Personal belongings dated 2/9/21, RN C confirmed that the document was blank (no checkbox) in the selection dentures. A review of the Resident 20's admission notes dated 1/26/21 indicated, no dentures. In an interview on 5/4/2021 at 9:56 a.m., Social Worker (SS) stated, We're going to try to get things covered, but unfortunately some things are out of our hands. If someone is suffering, we will try to get them seen in 3 days. In an interview on 5/4/21 at 9:56 AM, RN C stated, I made a note that his top dentures are with his friend, he came in with no bottom dentures.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm In a concurrent interview and record review on 5/3/2021 at 3:08 PM, SS reviewed Resident 27's dental record dated 7/14/2020 and stated, He was seen by a dentist in July, 2020 for an initial exam. The dentist indicated he needed FMX, or full mouth x-ray. There was no follow up. Initially insurance was saying he had no coverage. They were supposed to get back to us. It was never followed up on. If a resident doesn't have coverage, we will work with them. Looks like we didn't have a system for follow up. A review of Resident 27's dental visit dated 7/2/2020 indicated that the resident required a full-mouth x-rays and further follow up. Residents Affected - Some In an interview on 5/4/2021 at 03:51 PM, RDV stated, We base residents' diets on their medical needs and dentition and ability to swallow. We look at diet textures if I feel it's a concern, go to speech language pathologist to assess their swallow. If someone comes in with missing teeth or dentures we assess them. Patients without teeth are taking bigger bites and can result in aspiration (choking) and stomach problems. RDV acknowledged that Resident 27's dentition and lack of attention to dental care could be contributing to his taking larger bites. A review of the facility's document titled, Speech Therapy Discharge Summary dated 10/28/2019 indicated, Consequences if services are not provided include possible aspiration (choking) .and continued dependence on modified diet (e.g. nectar thick, mechanical soft.). A review of resident 27's physician telephone order dated 3/2/20 indicated, Mechanical soft texture and nectar thick liquids. and that resident was to eat small bites. A review of a physician order dated 2/3/2021 for Resident 27, signed by Medical Director, indicated, Aspiration Risk Care Plan: [Resident 27] is at risk for aspiration [due to having had a stroke] and behavior of shoveling food instead of small bites and small sips. A review of a physician visit summary dated 2/15/2021 signed by Medical Director (MD), indicated, [Resident 27 ] has intermittent complaints of stomach ache, indigestion, gas and bloating A review of the facility's admission assessment for Resident 27 dated 8/4/2019, included an oral health evaluation that allowed the choice Poor dental/oral health, but that box was not checked. The evaluator's response of Resident 27's dental health indicated, None of the above.

In an interview on 5/5/2021 at 10:44 AM, Speech Therapist (ST 1) stated that Resident 27 had completed speech therapy care by a previous speech therapist after evaluating the resident's dentition (dental health) and placing him on a thin liquids/mechanical soft diet. From what I understand, he had a stroke so dysphagia (problems swallowing) must be from a stroke. His oral prep phase (chewing, moistening) took longer than usual.

These failures put the residents at risk for food borne illness and physical contamination of food. Findings: 1. During a concurrent observation of the [NAME] brand ice machine on Station 2 and interview on 5/5/21 at 10:25 AM with Facility [NAME] (PN) and Engineer (EN), the ice machine was opened and a white towel was used by PN around the inside of the ice chute within the machine. The white towel was noted to have a black substance on it. PN agreed that there was a black substance on the white towel. During a concurrent interview with Facility Manager (FM) on 5/5/21 at 11:04 AM, FM was shown the photo taken of the white towel. He agreed there was a black substance on the towel and that it should not have been there. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/5/21 at 2:30 PM with FM and Maintenance Mechanic (MM), MM provided documentation from [NAME] that indicated the ice machine is to be cleaned at least semi-annually. MM also provided documentation that indicated he last sanitized the machine on 3/22/21. A review of the 2017 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Code section 4-204.16 indicated that because of the high moisture environment, mold and algae may form on the surface of the ice bins. A record review of [NAME] ice machine manufacturer's instructions with unknown date, read, Cleaning and Sanitizing .Periodic cleaning of [NAME]'s ice and water dispenser and ice machine system is required to ensure peak performance and delivery of clean, sanitary ice. The recommended cleaning procedures that follow should be performed at least as frequently as recommended and more often if environmental conditions dictate. 2.

The IP and MDS/IP confirmed LVN K was oriented to infection control procedures including handwashing. Residents Affected - Few An interview on 5/6/2021, at 8:00 AM, with Administrator (ADM) and Director of Nursing (DON), confirmed, the facility policy and expectation for employees was to perform hand hygiene (hand washing or hand sanitizing), between the change of soiled to clean gloves while performing resident wound treatments. Based on observation, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure a licensed vocational nurse (LVN) K perform hand hygiene while preformed wound care. This failure had the potential to spread infection from one resident to another, and cause an infection to a wound. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/4/21, at 11:43 AM, with LVN K, in room [ROOM NUMBER]A, LVN K was performing wound care on Resident 66. LVN K removed a soiled dressing from Resident 66's stage 4 pressure ulcer(an open area with full-thickness skin and tissue loss). LVN K cleaned the wound then removed her soiled gloves. Without performing hand hygiene, she reached into her pocket and donned(put on) new gloves. LVN K indicated that she normally did not do hand hygiene between changing from soiled to clean gloves when she was working with the same resident. She was unaware that she should do hand hygiene between the change of soiled to clean gloves, while performing resident wound treatments A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Infection Control-Handwashing-FTNS, reviewed 12/18/2019, indicated hand hygiene is required after removing gloves, and between contact with different patients. A review of the facility's (undated) policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Resident Care-Wound and Skin Management-FTNS, indicated that any resident who has a pressure sore will receive the necessary treatment and services to promote healing, prevent infections, prevent new ulcers/sores from development.
