This survey cited 17 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of seventeen residents, (Resident 43 and Resident 276) were monitored and the physician updated for a change in condition. 1. Resident 43's physician was not updated with a new onset of cough, and inablity to sleep due to new cough for at least 4 days. 2. Resident 276's physician was not updated with Urinalysis (U/A, a test to diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) results from 10/16/23, and Culture and Sensitivity (a test to identify specific antibiotics for treatment of a UTI) results for three days. Resident 276 was not monitored for signs and symptoms of an infection during pending U/A results which indicated Resident 276 did have a UTI. This failure resulted in Resident 43 and Resident 276 to not receive daily assessments including vital signs, obtaining labs requested, and the potential for a hospitalization. Findings: 1. During a review of the facility's policy titled, Change in Condition, revised 9/15/17, the policy indicated the purpose of this policy is to keep family and physicians informed of changes in a resident's condition in a timely manner. This facility policy also indicated the licensed nurse is to assess the resident and document signs and symptoms, vital signs, physical and mental changes in condition. A change in condition can include, but is not limited to new infection, any sudden and/or marked adverse change in signs, symptoms, or behavior exhibited by a resident. During a review of Resident 43's clinical record, Resident 43 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], for diagnoses that included diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, Atrial Flutter (Irregular heart beat), and muscle weakness. During an interview on 10/17/23 at 9:48 AM, Resident 43 stated, I have a new cough. I have told all the nurses for four to five days now. One nurse, Licensed Nurse (LN) F told me I did not have anything ordered, but can't they call the doctor? I got my son to bring me cough drops, but I am waking up through the night coughing, so I am tired for my therapy. During an interview on 10/17/23 at 11:40 AM, the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated, We should have called the doctor as soon as Resident 43 complained of a new cough and unable to sleep. I will call now and see what the doctor will order for [Resident 43]. All residents with new symptoms should be on alert charting, and we should have obtained vital signs every shift. DSD added, I will (continued on next page) 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.

F 0580 go listen to [Resident 43]'s lungs, and do an assessment before I call the doctor. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During a review of Resident 43's clinical record, Resident 43's records titled, Active Orders, dated 10/17/23, indicated Mucinex DM Oral Tablet Extended Release 12 hour, 30/600 milligrams, give one tablet by mouth every 12 hours as needed for cough for 14 days. Residents Affected - Few During a concurent record review and interview on 10/18/23 at 3:15 PM, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) confirmed Resident 43 should have been on alert charting for new onset of cough, new symptoms keeping Resident 43 up at night, as soon as Resident 43 complained of a new cough. ADON also confirmed alert charting was not completed in the record for Resident 43 until 10/17/23 when DSD was updated, and [Resident 43] should have had an assessment completed including listening to lungs, and the medical doctor called for advisement. 2. During a review of Resident 276's clinical record, Resident 276 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included displaced fracture of the second cervical vertebrae (broken neck bone), heart disease, high blood pressure and muscle weakness. During an interview on 10/18/23 at 8:05 AM, Resident 276 stated, Can you find out about my urine results, I have been waiting to hear if I have an infection. They took a urine sample on 10/15/23. During a review of Resident 276's Clinical Laboratory Urinalysis (U/A), dated 10/16/23, the clinical laboratory indicated a routine U/A was received on 10/16/23, and indicated Resident 276's urine was positive for white blood cells (wbc), red blood cells (rbc), and nitrates 2 + (bacteria found in urine). These results indicated Resident 276 did have a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). During an interview with DSD on 10/18/23 at 9:00 AM, DSD stated, We are waiting on [Resident 276]'s urine culture results. DSD confirmed Resident 276 was not on alert charting for signs and symptoms of a UTI, and they had collected a urine sample on 10/15/23 for dysuria (difficulty urinating). DSD also confirmed Resident 276 did have a history of UTIs requiring antibiotic therapy on 10/5/23. During a follow up interview on 10/18/23 at 11:35 AM, DSD confirmed Resident 276 had a positive U/A for infection and the urine culture was called to the Nurse Practioner, new orders were received to start antibiotic therapy effective 10/18/23 for five days for a new UTI. During an interview on 10/18/23 at 3:30 PM, the ADON confirmed Resident 276 should have been on alert charting since urinary complaints, vital signs should have been obtained every shift since 10/15/23. ADON stated, I will make sure and educate the staff to add to alert charting before we get the labs back. I agree we should have also updated Resident 276 with the urine results in a timely manner.

F 0636 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every 12 months. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to complete the Comprehensive Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident assessment) within 14 calendar days of admission for two of 17 sampled residents (Resident 275 and Resident 276.) This failure had the potential to delay the development of a comprehensive care plan necessary to provide appropriate individualized care and services for each resident related to the care areas that would have been identified on the Comprehensive MDS. Findings: During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Minimum Data Set (MDS)/Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI), revised 1/3/2022, the P&P indicated, All comprehensive assessments should be completed and signed (Z0500) within seven days of the Assessment Reference Date (ARD), but no later than thirteen days after the ARD or by the fourteenth day of resident's admission. During a review of Resident 275's clinical record, Resident 275 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included a stroke, high blood pressure, dysphasia (difficulty swallowing), and Chondrocostal junction syndrome (inflammation and pain to the upper ribs). During a review of Resident 276's clinical record, Resident 276 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included displaced fracture of the second cervical vertebrae (broken neck bone), heart disease, high blood pressure and muscle weakness. During a concurrent record review and interview on 10/19/23 at 1:10 PM, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) confirmed [Resident 275 and Resident 276] MDS admission assessments were not completed and were late. ADON confirmed [Resident 275] assessment was eight days late and [Resident 276] assessment was two days late. ADON stated, We are behind, and I am helping to get the MDS' caught up. We have 14 days to complete after their admission. The MDS nurse is new, and I am helping to get them all done.

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 observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to complete a comprehensive care plan for one of 17 residents (Resident 53). This resulted in Resident 53 did not have a care plan to address her fluid restriction. Findings: During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plans, revised 1/31/22, the P&P indicated that it is the policy of this facility that a comprehensive care plan is to be developed for each resident within seven days of the resident's comprehensive Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment. During a review of Resident 53's clinical record, Resident 53 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] for diagnoses that included dementia (general term for impaired thinking, remembering, reasoning, and functional ability), seizures (uncontrolled signals between brain cells), and urinary tract infections (bladder infections). During a review of Resident 53's Active Orders, dated 8/28/23, indicated fluid restriction of 1200 cubic centimeter (cc, a unit of measurement) in 24 hours. During a review of Resident 53's Care Plan, revised on 8/28/23 no problem or interventions were listed for current Medical Doctors' (MD) orders for fluid restriction of 1200 cc daily. During a concurrent record review and interview on 10/19/23 at 3:45 pm, the Assistant Director of Nursing stated, The care plan is 11 days late for [Resident 53]. During a concurrent interview with the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) and (ADON) on 10/20/23 at 12:38 PM, both confirmed fluid restrictions were not added to the care plan for [Resident 53] and interventions were not implemented to follow MD orders on 8/28/23.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 3. Medical record review for Resident 25 was initiated on 10/18/23. Resident 25 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included cerebral palsy (a congenital disorder of movement, muscle tone, or posture), mild protein-calorie malnutrition (the condition of lack of energy due to the deficiency of all the macronutrients and many micronutrients), hyperlipidemia (elevated fat in the blood), hypertension (high blood pressure) and major depressive disorder. Review of the facility document titled Weights and Vitals Summary from 9/11/23 through 10/11/23, showed the following weights and comparisons for Resident 25: * On 9/11/23 = 130.6 pounds (lbs.), * On 9/30/23 = 121.4 lbs. -9.2 lbs., a 7% severe weight loss since 9/11/23, less than one month [comparison weight on 9/11/23, 130.6 lbs.], * On 10/6/23 = 117.6 lbs., -13 lbs., a 10% severe weight loss since 9/11/23 [comparison weight on 9/11/23, 130.6 lbs.]. On 10/19/23 at 10:33 AM a review of Resident 25's electronic medical record and concurrent interview was conducted with the ADON. The ADON confirmed when a resident experiences a significant weight change, the resident centered plan or care should be updated to reflect the weight change. The ADON confirmed the care plan for Resident 25 had not been updated to reflect the -9.2 lbs., 7% unplanned severe weight loss on 9/30/23 or the -13 lbs., a 10% unplanned severe weight loss on 10/6/23. The ADON added it was the RD's responsibility to update the resident care plan with any significant weight changes. On 10/20/23 at 9:02 AM, a phone interview was conducted with the RD. The RD confirmed she was responsible to update resident care plans with significant weight changes. The RD confirmed she had not updated the care plan for Resident 25 to reflect the unplanned severe weight loss of -9.2 lbs., 7% on 9/30/23 or the -13 lbs., 10% unplanned severe weight loss on 10/6/23. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that care plans for three of 17 sampled residents (Resident 25, 62, and Resident 275) were revised and updated to identify resident specific needs. This failure had the potential for residents individual care needs to go unrecognized, and a risk for a decline in residents physical, mental, and psychological status related to weight loss, communication needs, and proper transfers required to for pain management. Findings: 1. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plans, revised 1/31/22, the P&P indicated that it is the policy of this facility that the care plan is to be reviewed and revised after the resident's initial assessment, quarterly, and more often as warranted by the changes in a resident's condition.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Change of Condition, revised 9/15/17, the P&P indicated that the licensed nurse is to update the care plan to reflect any change in condition. During a review of Resident 62's clinical record, Resident 62 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] for diagnoses that included fracture of the left femur (broken thigh bone), diabetes, high blood pressure, and Dementia (a general term for impaired thinking, remembering, reasoning and fucntional ability). During a review of 62's clinical record, Resident 62's Care Plan, dated 9/27/23, indicated a problem [Resident 62]'s preferred language was Spanish with no interventions for communication or translation line needed for specific resident needs to be met. During a concurent observation and interview on 10/17/23 at 11:00 AM, Resident 62 stated, No English, shaking her head no, and unable to answer any questions. During an interview on 10/17/23 at 11:12 AM, the Family Member (FM) of Resident 62 stated, I interpret English and my other family members do when they are here, [Resident 62] does not speak any English. During an interview on 10/20/23 at 11:55 am, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) confirmed Resident 62 only spoke Spanish, and stated, I am bilingual, but I will change this immediately. I know [Resident 62] only speaks Spanish, and I will add the interpretor line to the care plan for the staff to use if needed. I have interpreted for [Resident 62], but we need access to the language line if there is a medical problem. [Resident 62]'s family can interpret also, she is not her own responsible party (RP). 2. During a review of Resident 275's clinical record, Resident 275 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included a stroke, high blood pressure, dysphasia (difficulty swallowing), and Chondrocostal junction syndrome (inflammation and pain to the upper ribs). During a review of Resident 275's clinical record, an assessment titled Brief Interview for Mental Status, dated 10/11/23, indicated Resident 275 was alert and oriented, scored 15 out of 15 (able to think and reason), and Resident 275 was her own RP for decisions. During a review of Resident 275's clinical record, Resident 275's Care Plan, dated 10/5/23, indicated a problem Resident 275 had a functional decline, needed one person assistance for activities of daily living (ADLs) such as toileting, bathing, grooming, and bed mobility. During a review of Resident 275's clinical record, Resident 275's Care Plan, dated 10/19/23, indicated a problem Resident 275 is at risk for pain with no interventions added to assist all transfers with one person, avoiding the rib area as needed for the diagnosis of Chondrocostal junction syndrome. During an interview on 10/18/23 at 8:50 AM, Resident 275 stated, I wish the staff knew how to help me transfer, it is painful if I am not helped correctly. I have to remind all the staff when they come in and help me in the bathroom or anytime they help me in and out of the bed.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility Policy and Procedure review, the facility failed to ensure one of 17 final sampled residents (Resident 25) maintained acceptable parameters of nutritional status when: Residents Affected - Few 1. The facility failed to provide documentation which showed the physician was notified of Resident 25's unplanned severe weight loss of 9.2 pounds, 7.2% from 9/11/23 to 9/30/23, and 13 pounds, 10% unplanned severe weight loss from 9/11/23 to 10/6/23, 2. The facility failed to reweigh Resident 25 per the facility policy when he experienced a severe weight loss of 9.2 pounds, 7.2% from 9/11/23 to 9/30/23, and 13 pounds, 10% severe weight loss from 9/11/23 to 10/6/23. 3. The facility failed to ensure the IDT (Interdisciplinary team) evaluated and monitored the effectiveness of the intervention implemented for Resident 25's unplanned severe weight loss on 10/12/23. 4. The facility failed to revise the resident centered plan of care for Resident 25 to reflect the unplanned severe weight loss of 9.2 pounds, 7.2% from 9/11/23 to 9/30/23, and 13 pounds, 10% unplanned severe weight loss from 9/11/23 to 10/6/23. As a result of these failures, Resident 25's compromised nutritional status was not monitored effectively which could lead to further medical complications. Findings: A professional reference review of American Academy of Family Physicians Journal titled, Unintentional Weight Loss in Older Adults, dated 2014 showed, Unintentional weight loss (i.e., more than a 5% reduction in body weight within six to 12 months) occurs in 15% to 20% of older adults and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. In this population, unintentional weight loss can lead to functional decline in activities of daily living, increased in-hospital morbidity, increased risk of hip fracture in women, and increased overall mortality. Further, cachexia (loss of muscle mass with or without loss of fat) has been associated with negative effects such as increased infections, pressure ulcers, and failure to respond to medical treatments . https://www.aafp.org/afp/2014/0501/p718.html - afp20140501p718-b1. 1.

F 0835 Administer the facility in a manner that enables it to use its resources effectively and efficiently. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility did not report a failed water heater to state and local agencies for 12 days. This failure had the potential to place all residents at risk for exposure to germs and illness related to a lack of hot water. Residents Affected - Many Findings: A facility policy, titled, Unusual Occurrences, reviewed 4/30/22, was reviewed. The policy indicated a list of unusual occurrences that should have been reported to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) within 24 hours by telephone and confirmed in writing.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 2. A facility policy, titled, Laundry and Resident Linens, revised 1/31/17, was reviewed. It's stated purpose was to prevent the spread of infections via laundry/linen. The policy indicated that all employees would have followed current infection control practices while handling residents' linens. Residents Affected - Few During a concurrent interview and observation, on 10/17/23, at 11:30 AM, in the laundry room, Housekeeper (HSK) A was folding a clean sheet in the presence of two surveyors, and several inches of the bottom of sheet were on the floor. When asked by the two observing surveyors about the sheet being in contact with the floor, HSK A confirmed it was on the floor, stating, We mop the floor every day. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure and maintain infection control practices with census of 66 when: 1. The facility failed to ensure safe cleaning and sanitization of the shared glucometer (medical device used to measure blood sugar from a drop of blood) when the glucometer was not disinfected on three out of three residents (Residents 12, Resident 31, and Resident 273) tested for blood sugar level, based on standards of practice and manufacturer recommendations. 2. The facility failed to maintain infection control practices when one Housekeeping Staff (HSK A) failed to keep a clean sheet off the floor. These failures had the potential to cause the spread of germs which could have placed the vulnerable resident population at risk for infection and illness. Findings: 1. Review of facility's policy titled, Cleaning Point of Care Equipment (Blood Glucose Meter), in effect and last revised on 4/20/22, the policy indicated It is the policy of this facility to clean all point of care equipment, including blood glucose meters, according to manufacturer's recommendations. Point of care equipment will not be used between two residents without being cleaned according to the manufacturer recommendations. The policy on section 2 indicated Alcohol is not to be used for cleaning potentially contaminated surfaces with bloodborne pathogens (bugs that can infect blood). The policy on section 5 indicated The meter (glucometer) should be cleaned (remove dirt, soil or blood) and disinfected (killing the germs) prior to storage. Review of Evencare G2 glucometer (brand name glucometer used in the facility) manufacturer instructions, dated 2017, last accessed via https://www.medline.com/media/catalog/Docs/MKT/LIT316_MAN_EvenCare%20G3%20In-Service%20Gu.pdf, the document indicated there were two steps for cleaning and disinfecting the meter. Cleaning and disinfecting the meter was very important in the prevention of infectious disease. Cleaning also allowed for subsequent disinfection to ensure germs and disease-causing agents were destroyed on the meter as follow: A. To clean the meter, use a moist (not wet) lint-free cloth dampened with a mild detergent. Wipe all external areas of the meter until visibly clean. B.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few wet for the contact time (time needed for the disinfectant stay in touch with the outer surface of the glucometer to kill all the germs) listed on the wipe's directions for use. The glucometer manufacturer (Evercare G2's glucometer) also indicated a validated and/or EPA (A U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a federal agency responsible for the protection of human health and the environment) endorsed wipes for disinfecting the meter should be used. During an observation on 10/17/23, at 11:34 AM, at facility's Station 1, Licensed Nurse D (LN D), with gloved hand, wiped the glucometer for less than 30 seconds with one wipe from a container labeled as Clorox Bleach Germicidal. LN D then used a plain tissue to dry the outer surface of glucometer before taking it to the Resident 12's room. LN D after measuring Resident 12's blood sugar, washed her hands and then with gloved hand wiped the outer surface of glucometer for less than 30 seconds using Clorox Bleach Germicidal wipe. During an observation at facility's Station 1, with Licensed Nurse B (LN B), on 10/17/23, at 11:52 AM, LN B took the glucometer and other supplies into the Resident 31's room to measure the blood sugar. LN B poked the finger for blood sample and measured the blood sugar by soaking the test strip with with blood attached to the glucometer. Once finished with measurement, LN B placed the glucometer in her pants pocket and exited the room. LN B then quickly cleaned the outer surface of glucometer with a 2x2 (2 inch by 2-inch size) alcohol swab and did not follow manufacturers specifications for cleaning and disinfecting the glucometer after checking Resident 31's blood glucose. During an observation at facility's Station 1, with LN B, on 10/17/23, at 12:04 PM, LN B used the same glucometer and new supplies, went into the Resident 273's room to measure the blood sugar. LN B with gloved hand poked Resident 273's finger to get drop of blood when the glucometer did not register any blood sugar number. LN B then exited the room and brought new supplies to get blood sample for testing. LN B measured the blood sugar and exited the room. LN B with same gloves, cleaned the glucometer with a 2x2 alcohol pad and did not follow manufacturers specifications for cleaning and disinfecting the glucometer after checking Resident 273's blood glucose. During an interview with LN B, at the nursing Station 1, on 10/18/23, at 12:30 PM, LN B explained that the facility expectation was to use the purple top disinfecting wipes (Medline Super Sani-Cloth Germicidal Wipe), to allow the glucometer to remain wet for the time specified on the label (2 minutes), and stated, I used an alcohol swab to clean the glucometer. LN B confirmed that using a 2x2 alcohol swab to clean the glucometer between residents was not the process taught for infection prevention. During an interview with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), in her office, on 10/18/23, at 2:44 PM, the ADON confirmed that all medical equipment used for more than one resident should be cleaned and disinfected after each use. And explained the facility expectation was to perform hand hygiene, wear gloves, place a barrier, use the appropriate facility supplied wipe and allow the equipment to remain wet for the time specified on the package. During an interview with Infection Prevention Nurse (IP), on 10/18/23, at 3:38 PM, the IP explained that bleach wipes should be used to clean the glucometer and that the glucometer should remain wet for the time specified on the label.

Review of the label on facility's wipe, titled Medline Super Sani-Cloth Germicidal Wipe, the label indicated that to disinfect a surface, it must remain wet for 2 minutes minimum. Review of the label on facility's wipe, titled Medline Micro-Kill One Germicidal Alcohol Wipes, the label indicated that to disinfect a surface must remain wet for a minimum of 1 minute. The wipe did not cover an infectious bugs called C. Diff (or Clostridium difficile, a bug that caused severe diarrhea). During an interview on 10/18/23, at 4:16 PM, the DON, ADON, and IP all confirmed that cleaning the glucometer with a 2x2 alcohol swab was not adequate to prevent the spread of infections and two step cleaning and disinfection with required wet time should be followed in-between resident use of glucometer.
