F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain comfortable sound levels for two of 13 sampled residents (Resident 18 and Resident 5), when Residents 18 and 5 complained of the exit door at the end of the hallway making a noise when being closed multiple times a day. This failure had the potential to disrupt a comfortable homelike environment. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/4/22, at 10:03 a.m., with Resident 18 in Resident 18's room, it was observed that the exit door right next to the room was making a noise when being closed. Resident 18 stated that it bothers him to hear the door close loudly multiple times a day and it also happens at night which keeps him awake. It was observed that staff enter and exit that door frequently throughout the day and the door was making a loud sound when it closes. During an interview on 4/5/22, at 8:54 a.m., with Resident 5, Resident 5 stated that the door right next to their room was loud when it slams/closes and it happens all day. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Noise Control, dated April 2014, the P&P indicated, This facility strives to maintain comfortable sound levels that enhance privacy when privacy is desired, that encourage interaction when social participation is desired, and that do not interfere with residents' hearing. 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. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0677 Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide adequate assistance to perform the activities of daily living for one of 13 sampled residents (Resident 17) when two staff assistance was not provided to assist Resident 17 during repositioning. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to harm the resident who had impaired mobility.

The MDS (Minimum Data Set - an assessment tool used to direct care) for activities of daily living (ADL), dated February 24, 2022, indicated Resident 17 was dependent on two or more staff to turn him side to side in the bed. During an observation on 4/4/22 at 10:00 a.m., CNA 1 was observed from the hallway, alone, providing care for Resident 17. During an interview on 4/4/22 at 10:30 a.m., CNA 1 stated she cleaned up Resident 17 During an observation on 4/6/22 at 9:45 a.m. during a bed bath for Resident 17, CNA 1 strained to roll and push Resident 17.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an observation, interview and medical record review, the facility failed to provide wound treatment for one of one sample residents (Resident 17) when Resident 17's pressure injury to the right lateral thigh was not covered with dressing as ordered by the physician. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to delay healing and worsen the wound condition. Findings: During an observation on 04/06/22 at 9:45 a.m., CNA 1 positioned Resident 17 on his left side exposing his back side for the nurse (ICN) to clean and change a wound dressing on the buttock. On the right lateral thigh, there was a round indentation with an open wound bed that was exposed. During an observation and concurrent interview on 04/06/22 at 10:20 a.m., the Infection Control Nurse (ICN) prepared Resident 17's supplies at the treatment cart for the dressing change of the buttock wound. ICN set up her supplies at the bedside and completed the dressing change on the buttock. Then, the ICN identified the indentation to the right lateral thigh. ICN described the indentation as a lesion and superficial. ICN could not explain why it did not have a dressing and stated it needed to be covered. The ICN then gathered her supplies, measured the wound to be 1 cm wide by 1 cm length. The depth was not measured. The ICN then cleansed the area, applied antibiotic and placed a dressing. Review of the physician order dated 03/30/22 indicated Right lateral thigh lesion-cleanse with normal saline, pat dry, then apply triple antibiotic ointment and dry dressing one time a day until resolved.

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited. Based on observation, interview, and document review, for three (Residents 14,9, and 18) of eight residents prescribed with psychotropic medication (capable of affecting the mind, emotions, and behavior), the facility failed to: 1. For Residents 14, the target behavior for Olanzapine (antipsychotic medication that is used to treat psychotic conditions) use was not monitored 2. For Resident 18, the target behavior for Divalproex Sodium (medication used to treat seizure disorders and certain psychiatric conditions), Melatonin Tablet (supplement for sleep aid) and Quetiapine Fumarate medication used to used to treat certain mental/mood disorders) use was not monitored. 3. For Resident 9, the target behavior for Lexapro (medication used to treat depression and anxiety) use was not monitored. These failures had the potential to delay identification of serious or even life-threatening adverse effects of psychotropic medications and prolonged unnecessary medication use. Findings: 1. During a review of the medical record for Resident 14, his diagnoses included dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities). Review of the physician order dated 2/12/22 indicated an order for Olanzapine tablet 5 milligrams at bedtime related to dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere without behavioral disturbance. Review of the Care Plan revised 3/12/22 indicated to monitor/record occurrence of target behavior symptoms by grabbing staff while providing ADL (activities of daily living) care. Further review indicated there was no record that indicated target behaviors were monitored. During an interview and concurrent medical record review on 04/07/22 at 12:03 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated Resident 14's target behavior grabbing staff should be documented in the Medication Administration Record (MAR). The DON stated she expects nurses to monitor these behaviors. 2. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 4/5/22, at 2:05 p.m. with DON, Resident 18's Order Summary Report, dated 4/5/22 was reviewed. Order Summary Report indicated that Resident 18 had the following orders for psychotropic medications: Divalproex Sodium ER Tablet Extended Release 24-hour 500 mg give four tablets by mouth at bedtime for mood stabilizer, Melatonin Tablet 5 mg one tablet by mouth at bedtime for sleep aid and Quetiapine Fumarate tablet 200 mg give one tablet by mouth at bedtime related to schizoaffective disorder-bipolar type. The DON stated that behavior for the psychotropic medication should be monitored in the MAR to determine if a resident still needs the medication or if it needs to be tapered. DON stated that when there were no behavior monitoring, they could not determine if the medication was effective. DON stated that behavior monitoring for the three psychotropic medications were not on the chart and in the MAR.
