Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 1:07 PM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the staff should put call light within residents' reach at all times to meet their needs and ensure their safety, especially emergent situation. 3. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 1 on 3/24/2023 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD - lung diseases that make it hard to breathe), anxiety disorder (a mental health condition that involves excessive and persistent feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness), and generalized muscle weakness. During a review of Resident 1's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 1 required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) with eating, partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with personal hygiene, dressing, and roll left and right, and dependent (helper does all the effort) with bathing and toileting. A review of Resident 1's Care Plan for risk for fall due to poor balance, weakness and poor safety awareness dated 3/27/2023, the care plan interventions included to keep the resident's call light within reach and answered promptly. A review of Resident 1's facility document titled Fall Risk Assessment, dated, 7/3/2024, and 9/27/2024, the document indicated Resident 1 was a high risk for fall. During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/18/2024 at 9:26 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3 in Resident 1's room, Resident 1 was in bed laying facing the left side of the bed with the resident ' s call light hanging on the right side of the bed the button pointing towards the floor, unreachable to Resident 1. LVN 3 stated, Resident 1 is able to use a call light, however, the call light needed to be reachable and not placed behind the resident. LVN 3 stated, as per policy, the call light should be within reach to call for assistance, especially for any type of emergency. During an interview on 11/19/2024 at 8:05 AM with the DON, the DON stated, residents call light should always be within reach as per policy. The DON stated, it is important for the call light to be within reach in order for residents to call for assistance and for any type of emergency such as a fall.

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an advance directive (written statement of a person's wishes regarding medical treatment made to ensure those wishes are carried out should the person be unable to communicate them to a doctor) and Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST, a medical order form that tell medical staff what to do if you have a medical emergency and are unable to speak for yourself) was accessible in residents medical records (physical paper chart) for one of eight sampled residents (Resident 41). Resident 41's paper chart did not have a copy of the Advance Directive Acknowledgement and the original POLST. This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 41's medical treatment, provisions, to be delayed and/or not be carried out, according to the Resident 41's and/or Responsible Party's request during an emergency, which can negatively affect Resident 41's quality of care.
Findings: During a review of Resident 41 ' s admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Dementia (a group of related symptoms associated with an ongoing decline of the brain and its abilities), seizures (a sudden burst of abnormal electrical activity in the brain that can cause temporary changes in a person's behavior, movements, feelings, and level of consciousness) , and urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common infections that affect the bladder, the kidneys and the tubes connected to them. During a review of Resident 41's History and Physical Examination (H&P), dated 7/19/2024, indicated Resident 41 does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. The H&P indicated prognosis is from fair to serious. During a review Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 9/6/2024, indicated Resident 41's cognitive skills (ability to make daily decisions) was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 41 required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and or contact guar assistance as resident completes activity) with eating and required substantial/maximal assist (helper does more than half the effort) with personal hygiene, dressing, toileting, and bathing/showering. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 11/18/2024, at 12:01 PM, with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4, Resident 41 ' s medical paper chart (Resident 41's medical records), (undated) was reviewed, the chart did not have a copy of Resident 41's advance directive and POLST. LVN 4 stated, it was the practice of the facility to ensure the advance directive and the POLST were in the physical paper chart, he did not know why it was not in Resident 41's chart. LVN 4 stated, it was important to have it in the chart so the nurses would know the care needed to provide in case of emergency, otherwise, it had the potential to delay the care. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 11/18/2024, at 12:10 PM, with Registered Nurse (RN) 2, Resident 41's medical paper chart (Resident 41's medical records), (undated) was reviewed, the chart did not have a copy of Resident 41's advance directive and POLST. RN 2 stated, Resident

41's advance directive and the POLST should be in Resident 41's physical paper chart, it was the facility's protocol (rules or guidelines that everyone needs to follow to communicate or interact effectively). RN 2 stated, it was important that the advance directive and the POLST were in the physical paper chart so nurses can adhere to what care Resident 41 and/or the responsible party wanted in case of emergency, it was the first thing nurses checked during an emergency. RN 2 stated, not having the advance directive and the POLST in the physical paper chart can delay the process and/or affect Resident 41's quality of care. During an interview on 11/19/2024 at 8:05 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, he expected resident's advance directive and POLST be in the resident's physical paper chart, it was the first item the nurses checked in case of emergency. DON stated, not having residents advance directive and POLST in the resident's physical paper chart had the potential to delay and/or negatively affect the resident ' s quality of care. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Advance Directive, dated 2/2017, indicated; a) the facility ' s copy of the advance directive must be filed in the resident ' s clinical record, b) the facility must document in a prominent part of the resident ' s clinical record whether the resident has issued an advance directive, and c) the facility will document provision of information for advance directive and will be maintained in the clinical record. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST), dated 12/2016, indicated; a) a completed, fully executed POLST is a legal physician order, and is immediately actionable, b) once reviewed, the POLST should be copied, and the current original form placed in the front of the resident ' s chart, along with the resident ' s advance directive if he/she has one.

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 adequate supervision for two of two sampled residents (Residents 4 and 23) when: 1. Resident 4, who was a high risk for fall, was observed in bed reaching for his drinks by the bedside table, without a floor mat as per plan of care to prevent injury from fall. 2. Resident 23, who was a high risk for fall, and had a fall incident on 11/18/2024 in Room B (RB-not Resident 23's room) witnessed by a Resident in Room B (RRB), was not frequently monitored, or supervised as per plan of care. These deficient practices had the potential for to cause major injury from a fall and negatively affect Residents 4's and 23's quality of life.
Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 4 ' s admission record indicated the resident was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included psychosis (symptoms that cause a person to lose touch with reality, or have a break in their thoughts and perceptions), anxiety disorder (a condition that causes excessive feelings of fear, dread, and worry that can interfere with daily life), and history of fall. During a review of Resident 4 ' s History and Physical, dated 7/30/2024, indicated Resident 4 does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 10/18/2024, indicated Resident 4 ' s cognitive skills (ability to make daily decisions) was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 4 required partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with eating, substantial/maximal assist (helper does more than half the effort) personal hygiene and toileting, and dependent (helper does all the effort) with dressing and bathing. During a review of Resident 4 ' s facility document titled Fall Risk Assessment, dated 4/25/2024, 7/19/2024, and 10/21/2024, indicated Resident 4 was a high risk for fall. During a review of Resident 4 ' s care plan (CP) for risk for falls, injuries from falls related to history of falls, impaired safety awareness, revised 10/24/2024, the CP indicated Resident 4 had falls on 6/28/2023, 1/8/2024, and 3/11/2024, intervention included the use of left floor mat. During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/19/2024 at 10:20 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 in Resident 4 ' s room, Resident 4 was lying in bed moving and reaching for his drinks on a bedside table left side of the bed, there was no floor mat next to the bed as per plan of care. LVN 1 stated, she was not aware Resident 4 was a fall risk and needed to have a floor mat next to the bed. LVN 1 stated, it was important to have a floor mat next to Resident 4 ' s bed in case of a fall it can minimize the potential for a major injury. During an interview on 11/19/2024 at 10:45 AM with Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, the

Residents Affected - Few
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 11/19/2024, at 3:50 PM, with the DON, Resident 23 ' s Electronic Health Records for the month of October and November was reviewed. The records did not indicate any type of documentation for frequent visual monitoring due to Resident 23 being high risk for fall. The DON stated, he cannot find any type of documentation of frequent visual monitoring for Resident 23, but he will initiate every hour monitoring and start a log. DON stated, no one seemed to be monitoring Resident 23 when had the fall, since a visitor was the one who saw him.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to attempt to use appropriate alternative interventions before the installation of bilateral ¼ siderails (quarter bars that are attached to the side of the bed to help with safety and comfort) for one of four sampled residents (Resident 31). This failure had the potential for Resident 31 to be at risk for entrapment (when a resident can get caught by the head, neck, chest, or other body parts in tight spaces around the siderail) and physical injury.
Findings: During a review of Resident 31 ' s admission Record, the facility admitted Resident 31 on 6/22/2023 and readmitted Resident 31 on 12/28/2023 with diagnoses that included hypertensive heart (heart problems that occur because of high blood pressure over time) and chronic kidney disease (kidney damage over time) with heart failure (heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body ' s needs) and muscle weakness (the muscle does not have enough strength to move normally). During a review of Resident 31 ' s History and Physical (H&P, a comprehensive physician ' s note regarding the assessment of a resident ' s health status), dated 7/3/2024, Resident 31 does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 31 ' s Minimal Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 9/27/2024, Resident 31 ' s cognition (a person ' s mental process of thinking, learning, remembering, and using judgement) was moderately impaired, was dependent (helper does all the effort and required two or more helpers for the resident to complete the activity) for transferring from bed to chair or toilet transfers, required moderate assistance (helper does more than half the effort) when moving from lying to sitting, and required moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) when rolling from side to side in bed. The MDS indicated that the bed rail was not in use. During a review of Resident ' s Order Summary Report (instructions that communicated the medical care that the resident received while in the facility), with an order start date of 07/02/2024, bilateral ¼ siderails were placed for bed mobility and to assist Resident 31 in getting in and out of bed. During a review of Resident 31 ' s Side Rail/ Restraint/ Device Assessment, dated 10/02/2024, the assessment indicated Resident 31 had side rails for mobility aid to improve functional ability when in bed. The assessment indicated the alternates initiated included frequent monitoring, reminders to use call lights (a small button used to communicate with the nurses that a resident needed assistance), and restorative care (a program that focused on maximizing a resident ' s optimal level of function). During a review of Resident 31 ' s care plan, revised on 10/19/2024, the care plan indicated Resident 31 used bilateral side rails when in bed for bed mobility. The care plan ' s interventions included re-assessing Resident 31 every three months or as needed for the use of side rails.

During a review of Resident 31 ' s Consent for bilateral ¼ siderails, dated 10/25/2024, the document indicated that Resident 31 had a fear of falling and the bilateral ¼ side rails were placed with expected benefits including improved functional ability, reduced harmful behaviors, and increase mobility. During an observation on 11/18/2024 at 9:48AM in Resident 31 ' s room, Resident 31 was sleeping in bed with the bilateral ¼ siderails up. During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/20/2024 at 8AM in Resident 31 ' s room, Resident 31 was lying in bed with the head of bed elevated and bilateral ¼ side rails were up. Resident 31 stated, the side rails were up for my safety so nothing happens to me. During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 8:15AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that side rails may be used for residents who need assistance for mobility. The DON stated that residents would ask for side rails to assist with moving around in bed. The DON stated, if the side rails were used for mobility, and nursing staff were required to obtain a consent for the use of side rails. The DON stated, nursing would assess the resident to ensure resident safety while using side rails. During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/20/2024 at 3:30PM with the DON in Resident 31 ' s room, the DON stated Resident 31 ' s side rails were up. The DON stated that side rails could be a form of entrapment and can be a form of restraints (a device that limits a person ' s movement or actions).
