bioethics committee (committee to support resident rights and make decisions regarding healthcare) when
making complex decisions on behalf of one of 15 residents (9) who lacked decision making capacity and
had no responsible party.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure placed Resident 9 at risk for having medical decisions made that were not in the resident's best
interest.
Findings:
Resident 9 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses to include
schizophrenia (a disease characterized by thoughts or experiences that seem out of touch with reality,
disorganized speech or behavior, and decreased participation in daily activities), per the facility's admission
Record.

have the capacity to understand and make decisions. Furthermore, per Resident 9's History and Physical
dated 1/27/20, .No family or relatives found for this pt (patient) .
A review of Resident 9's MDS assessment (an assessment tool) Section C, dated 10/31/19, indicated the

that consent had been verified knowing the physician did not obtain consent. The DON stated
psychotherapeutic medications were an important part of a resident's medical care. The DON stated there
should have been a bioethics committee conducted to discuss the medication risks and benefits and

Protect each resident from the wrongful use of the resident's belongings or money.
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 protect resident belongings for one of 15
residents (27) reviewed for personal property.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in a potential for resident to resident altercation between Resident 27 and Resident 35.
Findings:
Resident 27 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included, anxiety disorder (a long
standing mental disorder with persistent worry and fear that interfere with daily activities) and schizophrenia
(a mental disorder of thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning), per the facility's admission
Record.
On 2/4/20, at 3:35 P.M., an interview and observation with Resident 27 was conducted. Resident 27 was
sitting on his bed and stated his roommate, Resident 35, was stealing his clothes. Resident 27 stated the
SSD was informed a week ago about the incident and told Resident 27 that his closet would have to be
locked. Resident 27 stated, nothing had been done and felt frustrated because there were no locking
devices on Resident 27's closet door.
On 2/6/20 at 9:02 A.M., a concurrent observation and interview with CNA 30 was conducted. CNA 30
stated Resident 27 informed CNA 30 that Resident 35 had his clothes, and told CNA 30, Just don't let him
(Resident 35) touch my stuff. When CNA 30 opened Resident 27's closet, there was no locking device. CNA
30 stated Resident 35 had the tendency to grab clothes and go into Resident 27's closet, and redirection
did not work. CNA 30 further stated, LN 30 was informed of the incident. CNA 30 stated anyone could
easily access Resident 27's closet.
On 2/6/20, a review of Resident 27's medical record was conducted. There was no documentation in the
nursing progress notes, or in the social worker notes, related to Resident 27's missing personal clothing
items.
On 2/6/20, at 10:48 A.M., a record review and interview with the SSD was conducted. The SSD stated
Resident 35 had a behavior of wandering and opening closets. The SSD recalled last week she was
informed by CNA 31 of Resident 35 opening closets. The SSD stated there was no documentation of the
incident or follow-up.
On 2/6/20, at 11 A.M., a record review and interview with the MA was conducted. The MA stated the
Maintenance Log book was used to communicate requests between staff and the MA. There was no work
request found in the maintenance log to install locks on Resident 27's closet.
On 2/7/20, at 2:43 P.M., an interview with the DON was conducted. The DON stated, the issue with
Resident 27's closet being accessed by Resident 35 was not communicated effectively between the nursing
staff, the SSD and the MA, when it should have been. The DON stated, the nursing staff, the SSD, and the
MA did not intervene immediately to protect Resident 27's belongings. The DON stated this could have
caused an altercation between Resident 27 and Resident 35.

wound treatment order was not carried out, or clarified by nursing staff.
Residents Affected - Few
These failures had the potential to negatively impact Resident 31's wound healing and to impede the
coordination of care.
Findings:
Resident 31 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include diabetes mellitus (inability to

On 2/5/20 at 3:12 P.M. a joint interview and record review was conducted with LN 1. LN 1 stated Resident
31 required daily treatment to the wounds on his feet. LN 1 stated adherence to wound treatment was very
important as Resident 31 was diabetic and diabetic wounds could easily become infected. LN 1 stated
nurses were required to sign the TAR after treatment was provided to a resident. LN 1 reviewed Resident
31's TARs and stated the TAR was blank on 9/6/19, 9/17/19, 10/17/19, 10/24/19, 11/20/19, 11/27/19,

wound treatment or was out of the facility on those days. LN 1 stated if the wound treatment was left blank
in the TAR then the treatment was not provided to Resident 31. LN 1 stated Resident 31 should have
received regular and consistent wound treatments.
Multiple attempts were made to interview the main wound treatment nurse and the wound physician. The
facility failed to provide the requested information.
On 2/7/20 at 2:30 P.M., an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated Resident 31's TAR
should not have unsigned treatments. The DON acknowledged if the treatment was not signed, then the
treatment was not done.

have been done. LN 1 further stated nursing was supposed to read the physician's wound documentation
and make note of any recommendations or changes to the treatment plan.
Multiple attempts were made to interview the main wound treatment nurse and the wound physician. The
facility failed to provide the requested information.
On 2/7/20 at 2:23 P.M., an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated a recommendation from
the wound physician was considered an order and was expected to be carried out. The DON stated there
should have been better coordination of care and communication between the wound physician and

hours daily.
A record review of Resident 26's Medication Administration Records (MARs), dated 1/1/20-1/31/20, and
2/1/20-2/29/20, indicated LNs documented the completed amounts of tube feeding for Resident 26 as

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure practices that mitigated the
risk of resident food contamination were followed, when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Dishware and utensils were stored while wet. In addition, wet water pitchers were air dried outside of the
kitchen next to soiled linen barrels.
2. Resident dishware and kitchen equipment were stored with dirt, debris, and objects resembling rat feces
on them.
3. Spoiled produce was stored amongst unspoiled produce.
4. Clean dishware and utensils had food debris on them.
5. Glassware had cracks and a food scoop had a melted handle.
These failures to mitigate potential food contamination may result in foodborne illness (illness caused from
consumption of contaminated or toxic food).
Findings:
1. On 2/4/20 at 8:15 A.M., a joint kitchen observation and interview was conducted with the DDS. Five
plastic water pitchers and two plastic food prep tubs were wet when stored in the cabinet. Two wet food
scoops were stored in the drawer above the cabinet. The DDS stated clean dishes and utensils should not
