F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 12 residents (Resident 190), was treated with respect and dignity when staff ignored the residents request for a condiment at breakfast. Residents Affected - Few This failure resulted in the resident crying and feeling ignored. Findings: A review of Resident 190's clinical record included the following documents: According to the Resident's face sheet, Resident 190 was admitted to the facility in mid-2022 with diagnoses including paraplegia (paralysis of the legs and lower body). A MDS (Minimum Data Set, an assessment tool), dated 4/7/22, indicated Resident 190 was cognitively intact. During an interview on 4/13/22 at 9:20 a.m., Resident 190 had teary eyes and stated she had requested additional condiments for her breakfast tray. Resident 190 stated Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 2 did not acknowledge her request and walked away. Resident 190 said CNA 2 was rude and made her feel as if she did not exist. In an interview on 4/14/22 at 9:35 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she expected staff to treat residents with respect and dignity at all times. A review of the facility's document titled, Know your rights under Federal Nursing Home Regulations, undated indicated, .You have the right to be treated with respect and dignity. 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 0583 Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the confidentiality of medical records for two residents (Resident 136 and Resident 137) of 21 sampled residents, when a facility activity report was left unattended on a medication cart. Residents Affected - Few This failure decreased the facility's potential to protect residents' personal information from being accessible to unauthorized staff, residents and visitors. Findings: In an observation on 4/11/22 at 8:27 a.m., an unattended facility activity report was observed lying face-up on top of a medication cart outside a resident room. The activity report indicated Resident 136 and Resident 137s' names and medical diagnoses and was accessible to anyone who walked past the medication cart. In an observation and concurrent interview on 4/11/22 at 8:41 a.m., the Licensed Nurse 2 (LN 2) exited a resident's room. The LN 2 confirmed the facility activity report contained resident names, diagnoses, change in condition and significant events. The LN 2 also confirmed the information was accessible to anyone who walked past the the document as it was lying face-up. The LN 2 stated she was supposed to keep it with her or place it upside down so no one could see it. In an interview on 4/14/22 at 11:06 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated any document containing resident information was confidential and the activity report should have been protected. The DON stated this was a violation of residents' rights and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). A review of the facility's policy titled, Confidentiality of Information, revised on 3/22/10, indicated, .Resident information and records, whether medical, financial, or social in nature will be safeguarded to protect the confidentiality of the information.

F 0623 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman, before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure written notice before transfer was provided for one resident (Resident 35) for a census of 31. Residents Affected - Few This failure reduced the facility's potential to provide documented notification before transfer of Resident 35. Findings: A review of an admission record indicated Resident 35 was admitted to the facility in early 2022 with diagnoses which included dementia (memory loss), repeated falls, and failure to thrive. A review of Resident 35's progress notes, dated 3/14/22, showed no documented evidence a written notice of transfer was provided to Resident 35, his resident representative (RP), or the Ombudsman (a community representative who acts in the resident's best interest). During an interview on 4/14/22 at 8:50 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated staff was to provide a written notice of transfer to the resident or the RP and the Ombudsman in an emergency transfer situation (transfer to a hospital). The DON also stated the transfer should be documented in the progress notes to verify these things were done. The DON further stated, [If it was] not documented [then it was] not done. A review of a notice of proposed transfer/ discharge was conducted with the Medical Record Coordinator (MRC) on 4/14/22 at 9:05 a.m. A review of Resident 35's notice of proposed transfer/discharge and transfer and referral record indicated no location to which the resident was transferred or discharged . Neither document contained signatures from Resident 35, the RP, and a facility representative. The MRC confirmed there was no documented evidence a written notice of transfer was provided to Resident 35, his RP, or to the Ombudsman. The MRC acknowledged the facility should have provided Resident 35 or the RP written notice of transfer prior to the transfer/discharge. A review of the facility's policy titled, Notice of Proposed Transfer/Discharge, revised January 2018, indicated, Our community shall provide a resident and/or the resident's representative written notice of an impending transfer or discharge .with the following information .The location to which the resident is being transferred to or discharged .In the event of a transfer or discharge of a resident to acute care, the written Notice of Proposed Transfer/Discharge will be .completed by nursing staff and a copy sent with the resident .or copied for the resident's representative at the time of transfer .The community will send a copy of the Notice of Proposed Transfer/Discharge of all facility-initiated transfers and discharges to the LTC [Long Term Care] Ombudsman .

F 0625 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Notify the resident or the resident’s representative in writing how long the nursing home will hold the resident’s bed in cases of transfer to a hospital or therapeutic leave. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure written notice of the facility's bed-hold policy was given to one resident (Resident 35) for a census of 31 before or upon transfer of the resident. Residents Affected - Few This failure reduced the facility's potential to notify residents' of their right for their placement to be saved for a limited amount of time before it is given to another resident for admission. Findings: A review of an admission record indicated Resident 35 was admitted to the facility in early 2022 with diagnoses which included dementia (memory loss), repeated falls, and failure to thrive. During an interview and concurrent record review on 4/12/22, at 2:35 p.m., the Business Office Assistant (BOA) and the Medical Records Coordinator (MRC) confirmed Resident 35 was transferred or discharged to a hospital on 3/14/22. The BOA and MRC stated and confirmed there was no documented evidence Resident 35 or the resident representative was notified in writing of the facility's bed-hold policy prior to transfer to the hospital. During an interview on 4/14/22, at 8:50 a.m., the Director of Nursing stated it should be documented to verify these things were done. The DON further stated, [If] not documented [then it was] not done. A review of facility's policy titled, Bed Holds, revised February 2012, indicated, Our facility informs residents .prior to a transfer for hospitalization .of our bed-hold policy .by providing the resident with written information concerning the bed-hold policy.

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 observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure accurate assessments were conducted and documented for two sampled residents (Resident 7 and Resident 24) for a census of 31. Residents Affected - Few This failure decreased the facility's potential to identify residents' care needs and well-being. Findings: A review of an admission record indicated Resident 7 was admitted to the facility in early 2021 with diagnoses which included a history of falling and weakness. A review of a Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive assessment tool), dated 2/4/22, indicated Resident 7 needed extensive assistance from two or more staff to: move in bed, transfer between the bed and wheelchair, get into standing position, use the toilet, get dressed, and was totally dependent on staff to bathe. A review of an assessment of functional limitations for range of motion (ROM), dated 2/4/22, indicated Resident 7 had an impairment on one of her arms and one of her legs. During an observation and concurrent interview on 4/11/22 at 9:20 a.m., Resident 7 was sitting up in a wheelchair. Resident 7 stated both her arms and both her legs were weak and she was unable to walk. During an interview on 4/13/22 at 2:21 p.m., the Licensed Nurse (LN) 1 confirmed Resident 7 required total care from staff, needed assistance with feeding, and was unable to walk. The LN 1 stated staff conduct ROM exercises in both arms and legs five times a week. The LN 1 also stated a functional assessment should capture both sides of arms and legs. A review of an admission record indicated Resident 24 was admitted to the facility in early 2021 with diagnoses which included right-side sciatica (nerve pain which runs from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg) and generalized osteoarthritis (pain caused by wearing down of the protective tissue at the ends of bones). During an observation on 4/11/22 at 11 a.m., Resident 24 required two staff to reposition her because she was unable to turn her body by herself. During an observation on 4/11/22 at 12:20 p.m., a staff member fed Resident 24 her lunch meal because Resident 24 was unable to feed herself. During an interview on 4/13/22 at 11:38 a.m., the LN 1 stated Resident 24 was unable to walk and unable to support her legs. The LN 1 confirmed two staff members are required to reposition Resident 24. The LN 1 also confirmed the MDS assessment dated [DATE] did not indicate Resident 24's impairment on both arms and legs. A concurrent interview and record review was conducted with the Medical Records Coordinator (MRC) and the Director of Nursing (DON) on 4/13/22 at 11:40 a.m. A review of an MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 24 was impaired in one arm only. The DON and MRC confirmed the MDS assessment was inaccurate. The DON said documentation and medical record should be accurate.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide resident centered care and services for one of 12 sampled residents (Resident 187) when, on two separate occasions, her call light was not within reach. Residents Affected - Some These failures decreased the potential for the resident to receive effective treatment and necessary personal care. Findings: According to the resident's face sheet, Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in mid 2022 with diagnoses including fracture of the left humerus (the bone of upper arm). A review of Resident's 187's clinical records included the following documents: An MDS (Minimum Data Sheet, an assessment tool), dated 4/15/22, indicated Resident 187 was cognitively intact. In an observation on 4/11/22 at 8:45 a.m., Resident 187 was observed calling out for the nurse. In an observation on 4/11/22 at 9:03 a.m., Resident 187 was calling out for the nurse and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 5 passed by Resident 187's room and failed to acknowledge the resident's calls. In an observation on 4/11/22 at 9:05 a.m., Licensed Nurse (LN) 4 instructed CNA 5 to check on which resident was calling, Nurse. In an observation and concurrent interview with CNA 5 on 4/11/22 at 9:07 a.m., Resident 187 was seen lying in bed with sling on her left arm. The call light and bedside remote control were hanging on the far end of the right side of the bed. Resident 187 stated she was uncomfortable and needed assistance to position herself. She further stated she was unable to reach the call light as she had only one functional arm. In an interview on 4/11/22 at 9:10 a.m., CNA 5 stated this resident is at risk for falls and needed supervision for safety. She further stated the expectation was the resident should have the call light next to them at all the times. In an observation and interview on 4/13/22 at 9:53 a.m., Resident 187 was lying in bed and stated she could not reach her call light. The resident's call light was observed hanging on the headboard of the bed behind her. Resident 187 stated she could not reach her call light. In a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/22 at 9:55 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) came into Resident 187's room and confirmed the call light was on the headboard behind the resident. The DON moved the call light and clipped it to the resident's gown. The DON stated call lights should be always available to residents, otherwise residents could not reach staff and their needs would not be met.

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. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide treatment per physician's order for one resident (Resident 28) of 12 sampled residents, when Resident 28 was not gotten out of bed daily. This failure had the potential to decrease Resident 28's strength in both upper and lower extremities. Findings: According to the resident's face sheet, Resident 28 was admitted in mid-2017 with multiple diagnoses including paraplegia (paralysis of the lower body and legs). A review of Resident 28's clinical record includes the following documents: An MDS (Minimum Data Set, an assessment tool), dated 3/13/22, indicated resident 28 had severe cognitive impairment (the ability to remember, learn, concentrate or make decisions) and required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, dressing and personal hygiene. A physician's order report, dated 7/26/12, indicated, Up in chair QD (once a day) as tolerated. A point of care history report, dated 4/1/22 to 4/14/22, indicated staff did not get Resident 28 out of bed on 4/7/22, 4/9/22, 4/11/22 and 4/12/22. In an interview on 4/14/22 at 9:35 a.m., the DON (Director of Nurses) confirmed Resident 28 had a physician's order to get out of bed daily and she expected staff to follow the order. The DON stated if Resident 28 was not gotten out of bed it could affect her functionality and muscle strength.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the medication administration error rate was less than 5 percent (%) when two medication errors occurred out of 25 opportunities during medication administration for two residents (Resident 86 and Resident 87) for a census of 31. Residents Affected - Some As a result of these failures, the facility's medication administration error rate was 8%. Findings: A review of an admission record indicated Resident 87 was admitted to the facility in early 2022 with multiple diagnoses which included multiple fractures of the left ribs and opioid (a substance used to treat moderate to severe pain) drug induced constipation.

F 0804 Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to preserve the nutritive value of a meal for one resident of a census of 31, when kitchen staff did not follow the recipe for carrot and country steak. Residents Affected - Few This failure decreased the facility's potential to provide essential nutrients to residents with a pureed textured diet. Findings: During an observation and interview on 4/13/22 at 10:35 a.m., the Lead [NAME] (LC) used measuring cups that were supposed to be used to measure fluid ounces to measure cooked carrots. The LC stated he measured, two cups of cooked carrots. The LC then poured the cooked carrots into the food processor and added two ladles of milk to make pureed carrots. The LC stated two ladles were equal to eight ounces. The LC stated he mixed the carrots with sugar, cinnamon, salt, and oil before cooking the carrots. The LC confirmed he did not use thickener like the recipe had indicated.
