555605 11/30/2023 Glenhaven Healthcare 212 West Chevy Chase Drive Glendale, CA 91204
F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure privacy and dignity to 1 of 4 sampled residents (Resident 25) when Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA 6) did not cover the Resident 25's naked body and did not close door while transporting Resident 25 from bedside commode to bed. This deficient practice had the potential for others to see Resident 25's naked body which may cause psychosocial harm to the resident. Findings: During an observation on 11/27/2023, observed CNA 6, use a mechanical lift to transport Resident 25 from the bedside commode to Resident 25's bed. Resident 25's naked body was exposed resulting in the potential for visitors to see Resident 25's naked body. The bathroom and bed are in Resident 25's room. The door was open to the hallway where persons were walking during the transfer. During an interview on 11/30/23 at 9:10 AM, with CNA 6, CNA 6 stated, I do not close the door to the room because I am inside the room. During an interview on 11/30/23 at 9:23 AM, with Charge Nurse (16-another identifier?) stated, When a resident is moved from bathroom or commode inside a room and is nude I would cover the resident and close the door. During an interview on 11/30/23 at 9:36 AM, with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated, When transferring a resident from the bathroom to bed a resident is to be covered; if the resident is uncovered the door is to be closed to the room. A review of Resident 25's Physician Progress Note, dated September 26, 2023, the Progress Note indicated, Resident 25 does not have the mental capacity to request for Resident 25's naked body to be covered or the door to Resident's 25 room to be closed due to Resident 25 a medical history of advanced Alzheimer's dementia (define) with aphasia (difficulty speaking). And Resident 25 is nonverbal and has poor memory. A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Resident Dignity & Personal Privacy, dated December 2016, states indicated, Examine and treat residents in a manner that maintains their privacy. Use a closed door, drawn curtain, or both, to shield the resident during all personal care and treatment procedures.

F 0552 Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to obtain an informed consent from the responsible party for one of two sampled residents (Resident 28) who was prescribed Lorazepam (medication used to treat anxiety [a mental disorder that result in having the fear of the unknown]); Zyprexa (a medication used to treat psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia [a serious mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behave] and bipolar disorder [mental illness that causes unusual shifts in a person's mood, energy, activity levels, and concentration], Depakene (medication used to treat seizure disorders [burst of uncontrolled electrical activity between brain cells that causes temporary abnormalities in muscle tone or movements] that stabilizes mood, and Clozapine (a medication to treat medication for treatment-resistant schizophrenia). Residents Affected - Few This failure violated Resident 28's rights to be informed about the side effects (undesired effect of medication) and when choosing the type of care or treatment to be received, make decisions on alternative measures the resident or responsible party preferred. Findings: A review of Resident 28's face sheet (an admission record) indicated the facility readmitted the resident on 8/23/2023 with diagnosis of that included schizophrenia (a serious mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behave), Alzheimer's disease (a progressive disease beginning with mild memory loss and possibly leading to loss of the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to the environment), anxiety (having severe feeling of the unknown), and Parkinson's disease (unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination). A review of a Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment and care screening tool), dated 10/9/2023, indicated Resident 28 had severe cognitive skills (ability to think, understand, and reason) impairment. The MDS also indicated Resident 28 was dependent (Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity and the assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) for eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, dressing and personal hygiene care. A review of Resident 28's Physician Orders for the month of 11/2023, indicated to administer the following psychotropic drugs (medications that affects mood and behavior): 1. Lorazepam 0.5 milligrams (mg, unit of measurement) tablet, give 1 tablet by gastro-tube (G-Tube) every 6 hours as needed for recurrent outburst of anger related to anxiety disorder. 2. Zyprexa 5 mg tablet, give 1 tablet via G-Tube ( atube inserted into the stoamch used to deliver liquids and medications) at bedtime for yelling and screaming during care for no apparent reason related to schizophrenia. 3. Clozapine 25 mg tablet, give 1 tablet via G-Tube at bedtime for schizophrenia m/b auditory hallucinations (hearing voices that aren't present). 4. Depakene Solution 250 mg/5 milliliter (ml), give 5 ml via G-Tube three times a day for mood disorder 5 ml= 250 mg, poor impulse control. 555605 Page 2 of 20 555605 11/30/2023 Glenhaven Healthcare 212 West Chevy Chase Drive Glendale, CA 91204
F 0552 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During a concurrent record review and interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 11/28/23 at 12:16 PM, the DON stated there was no documented evidence in Resident 28's clinical that indicated the physician obtained a consent signed by the resident's representative and the physician prior to receiving administer Lorazepam 0.5 mg tablet, Zyprexa 5 mg tablet, Clozapine 25 mg tablet, and Depakene Solution. The DON stated, a signed consent should had been obtained from Resident 28's representative before the administration of antipsychotic medications and ensure to keep the consent in Resident 28's clinical records. A review of the facility's policy and procedure, titled Psychoactive Medication Informed Consent dated July 2017, indicated it was the policy of the facility to ensure that an informed consent was obtained for each residents who receives psychoactive medication that was authorized in writing by a physician for specified time period, and when necessary to protect the resident from self-injury or injury to other. The purpose of the policy is to ensure that informed consent has been obtained and verified prior to initiation of psychotropic medication use. 555605 Page 3 of 20 555605 11/30/2023 Glenhaven Healthcare 212 West Chevy Chase Drive Glendale, CA 91204
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 interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately assess, reflective of the resident's status at the time of the assessment for one of four residents (Resident 41). The Social Service Designee (SSD) did not assess Resident 41's communication needs due to the resident being asleep during the assessment and documented Resident 41 was not interview able. Residents Affected - Few As a result of this deficient practice, Resident 41 did not receive the communication tools needed to communicate needs which had the potential for the resident not to receive the care and services needed to maintain the highest well-being. Findings: A review of Resident 41's admission Record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of, but not limited to, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), urinary tract infection (An infection in any part of the urinary system, the kidneys, bladder, or urethra) and chronic heart failure (A chronic condition in which the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should). A review of Resident 41's comprehensive admission Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated 11/13/2023, indicated the resident had severely impaired cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision-making. The MDS indicated that resident was rarely/never understood. The MDS indicated the resident was totally dependent on staff for activities of daily living (ADLs - term used in healthcare to refer to daily self-care activities). A review of Resident 41's History and Physical, dated 11/2/2023, indicated that the resident was alert and had fluctuating (changing) capacity to make decisions. A review of Resident 41's Care plan initiated on 11/6/2023, indicated that the resident has a communication problem r/t language barrier. The record also indicated an intervention included to provide translator as necessary to communicate Resident 41 who preferred to communicate in a foreign language. During an interview on 11/29/2023 at 10:02 AM, the Activities Director (AD) stated she interviewed Resident 41 when the resident's daughter (FAM1) was present to help with the language barrier. The AD stated she learned that Resident 41's preferences for music and to have her phone close and charged for communication with her family. The AD stated Resident needs a foreign language speaker that she understands for more than basic things. During an interview on 11/29/2023 at 11:03 AM, Director of Nursing (DON) stated that Resident 41 had intermittent confusion but was able to communicate. The DON stated Resident 41's primary language was a foreign language. The DON stated that she speaks the foreign language that Resident 41 spoke but was never asked by the staff to help interpret during the MDS assessment for Resident 41. During an interview on 11/29/2023 at 11:18 AM, the MDS Nurse stated the Social Services Designee (SSD) was responsible for section C (what is sections C means?) of the MDS. During an interview on 11/29/2023 at 11:25 AM, the SSD stated Resident 41 was able to communicate 555605 Page 4 of 20 555605 11/30/2023 Glenhaven Healthcare 212 West Chevy Chase Drive Glendale, CA 91204
F 0641 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few but that she spoke another language. The SSD stated that during the MDS assessment Resident 41 was asleep and she did not wake up Resident 41 to interview and complete the MDS assessment. The SSD stated she does not remember the guidance on how to do the cognitive assessment. The SSD stated normally she would interview a resident to complete the MDS assessment. During an interview on 11/29/2023 at 12:37 PM, The MDS Nurse stated when completing the cognitive assessment section C of the MDS, sleeping does not qualify as the resident was not interview able. A review of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) document titled, CMS RAI version 3.0 Manual, dated 2019 indicated that, assessment of a resident's mental state provides a direct understanding of resident function that may enhance future communications and assistance, direct nursing interventions to facilitate greater independence, as well as indicate at residents cognitive status which can bring awareness of possible impairment and may be important for maintain a safe environment and providing safe discharge planning. https://downloads.cms.gov/files/mds-3.0-rai-manual-v1.17.1_october_2019.pdf A review of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) document titled, CMS RAI version 3.0 Manual, dated 2019 indicated that when completing the cognitive assessment section, attempt to conduct the interview with ALL residents, and to interact with the resident using his or her preferred language. https://downloads.cms.gov/files/mds-3.0-rai-manual-v1.17.1_october_2019.pdf 555605 Page 5 of 20 555605 11/30/2023 Glenhaven Healthcare 212 West Chevy Chase Drive Glendale, CA 91204
F 0645 PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. A review of Resident 3's face sheet (an admission record) indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 3 on 2/3/21 with diagnoses that included schizophrenia (a serious mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behave), dementia (a progressive disease resulting in loss of intellectual functioning, impairment of memory, thinking, with personality changes) and anxiety (severe feeling nervousness and fear of the unknown), and was readmitted on [DATE] with the same diagnoses. Residents Affected - Few A review of a Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment and care screening tool), dated 11/11/2023, indicated Resident 3 had severe impairment in cognitive skills (ability to think, understand, and reason). The MDS also indicated Resident 3 was dependent (helper does all the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity. Or the assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) for eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, dressing and personal hygiene care. A review of the Resident 3's letter PASARR Level 1 Screening from Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), dated 7/21/23, indicated Resident 3 was screened with a Positive for PASARR Level I with serious mental illness and required a PASSAR Level II Mental Health Evaluation. A review of Resident 3's History and Physical Examination, dated 7/24/2023, indicated Resident 3 can does not have the capacity to understand and make medical decisions. During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/29/2023 at 9:35 AM, the Medical Record Director (MRD) stated there was no documented evidence that Resident 3 was evaluated to PASSAR level II. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASSR), release date 12/2017, indicated: a) If the Level I screening results indicate that the applicant should receive the Level II screening, the Facility shall contact the appropriate state agency for additional screening. b) The state agency will arrange for Level II screening and determine whether the individual should be admitted to the Facility, and if so, what services the individual will need. The Level II screening must be completed prior to admission. c) The state is responsible for providing specialized services to residents with MD/ID residing in Medicaid-certified facilities. d) Recommendations from the Level II screening will be incorporated into the residents' care plan. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to obtain a Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR - a federally required screening for mental health; PASARR Level I identifies suspected mental illness, intellectual/developmental disability, or related condition; Level II screening determines if the individual would benefit from specialized mental health services) Level II evaluation for two of two sampled residents (Resident 22 and 3). This failure had the potential to result in Resident 22 and Resident 3 not to receive necessary mental health services which can negatively affect their quality of life. 555605 Page 6 of 20 555605 11/30/2023 Glenhaven Healthcare 212 West Chevy Chase Drive Glendale, CA 91204
F 0645 Findings: Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 1. A review of Resident 22s facesheet indicated the resident was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of schizophrenia (a serious mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves), chronic kidney disease (a condition in which the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood as well as they should ) and major depressive disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life).

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a person- centered care plan addressing resident specific interventions for one of four sampled residents (Resident 16). This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect the delivery of care and services related to the residents' health conditions and needs. Findings: A review of Resident 16's admission Record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of, but not limited to, hemiplegia (paralysis that affects one side of the body), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and epilepsy (A disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed, causing seizures). A review of Resident 16's comprehensive admission Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated 10/7/2023, indicated the resident had severely impaired cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision-making. The MDS indicated the resident was substantially dependent (helper does more than half the effort) on staff for oral hygiene, showering/bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene. The MDS also indicated that Resident 16 required supervision or touching assistance for eating. A review of Resident 16's History and Physical dated 1/3/2023 indicated that the resident did not have the capacity to understand or make decisions.
