her rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure each resident was treated with respect
and dignity and care for each resident in a manner and in an environment that promotes maintenance or
enhancement of his or her quality of life for two (Residents #4 and Residents #44) of five residents
reviewed for dignity.
The facility failed to promote both Resident #4 and Resident #44's dignity by not covering their catheter
urinary collection bag with a privacy bag.
This failure could place residents with catheters at risk for a loss of dignity, decreased self-worth and
decreased self-esteem.
Findings included:
Review of Resident 4's MDS quarterly assessment, dated 06/07/23, revealed the resident was a [AGE]
year-old male who was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #4's
diagnoses which included urinary tract infection, neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder (urinary bladder
problems due to disease or injury of the central nervous system), resistance to multiple antibiotics,
hyperlipidemia (blood has too many fats) polyneuropathy (affect nerves throughout the body). The
assessment reflected the resident's cognitive was intact, with a BIMS score of 13. Resident #4's functional
status with toileting is extensive assistance with one-person physical assistance. Resident #4 bowel and
bladder indicated an indwelling catheter (including suprapubic catheter).
Review of Resident #4's care plan, dated 07/10/23, reflected: Resident #4 required a suprapubic catheter
related to neurogenic bladder. The resident will have suprapubic catheter care managed appropriately.
Approach start date 06/14/23 included avoid obstructions in the drainage, do not allow tubing or any part of
the drainage system to touch the floor, position bag below level of bladder, Store collection bag inside a
protective dignity pouch.

had a catheter bag hanging on the right side of his bed facing the door. Resident #4's urinary collection bag
was not in a privacy bag; urine was visible inside the collection bag. Resident #4 stated he was not sure if
there was a privacy bag over his collection bag, but there should be a blue one. Resident #4 stated the
collection bag was usually always placed on the right side of the bed facing the door, so it was
embarrassing to know the collection bag was not covered.

cart.
This failure placed residents at risk of receiving medications that failed to deliver their full effectiveness.
Findings included:
Observation on 07/12/23 at 12:50 PM of nurse medication cart on C Hall revealed two Fluconazole inhalers
, labeled for Resident #14, had expired on 05/31/23.
Interview on 07/12/23 at 12:52 PM LVN A stated she had administered Resident #14's Fluconazole that
morning. She stated she did not notice the medication was expired. She stated the risk of giving an expired
medication included the resident not receiving the full effects intended by the physician.
Interview on 07/12/23 at 1:00 PM the DON stated she expected the nurses to check their medications for
expiration dates before they administer them. The DON stated the nurses were responsible for re-stocking
their carts and checking for expired medications before making their rounds. She stated the risk of giving a
resident expired medications was the resident not receiving the therapeutic effects of the medication.

Interview on 07/13/23 at 10:00 AM with LVN A revealed she must have misunderstood what the surveyor
was asking her on 07/12/23 about administering the Fluconazole. She stated she just had the medication
on her cart but had not administered it. LVN A stated the nurses were responsible for checking their carts
and removing expired or discontinued medications. She stated she did not know why the Fluconazole was
still on the cart when it had been discontinued over two months ago.
Interview on 07/13/23 at 11:03 AM with the DON revealed she had followed-up with all the nurses on
07/12/23 and checked all the medication carts for expired medications. The DON stated she did not know
why LVN A had stated she had given the Fluconazole because if it was not on the MAR she would not have
been triggered to give it.
Review of the facility's Administering Medications policy and procedure, dated April 2019, reflected: .12.

Interview on 07/13/23 at 11:00 AM with the Pest Control Technicain revealed at the facility today (07/13/23)
to complete the facility's monthly pest control visit. He stated last month monthly visit was on 06/08/23, and
the facility had concerns regarding flies. He stated when he entered the facility the first thing he did was
review the pest control binder to review if the facility had any concerns. He stated they treated the entire
building first and if the facility had a concern regarding a specific room, they would treat that room after the
building had been completed. He stated pest control also came when the facility had an emergency, such
as when they were at the facility on 07/11/23 to treat flies. He stated that treatment should still be active.
Interview on 07/13/23 at 1:12 PM with Housekeeper F revealed she had been working at the facility since
April 2023. She stated she was assigned to A, B, C, D Hall. She stated she has had residents complain
about flies. She stated the worst hall was B Hall. She stated she killed about 20-30 flies a day. She stated
she did not know what attracted them. She stated she cleaned the rooms every day and at times twice
mostly on B Hall. She stated when a resident reported a complaint regarding pest, she reported it on the
maintenance pest control log. She stated Maintenance was responsible for following up on the complaints.
She stated pest control had been at the facility; however, she dod not think the treatment they were
applying was working because they still had flies. She stated it had gotten worse since summer started.
Interview on 07/13/23 at 4:23 PM with the Maintenance Supervisor revealed he has had complaints
regarding flies. He stated it was worse when summer started; however, it had gotten better. He stated pest
control had been at the facility for their monthly visits and on 07/11/23 for an emergency visit to treat flies.
He stated pest control applied a treatment powder and sprayed outdoor and indoor. He stated about two
months ago they ordered fly lights on Halls B, C, D. They still had an outstanding order for the other Halls A,
F, E. He stated he did his rounds and would kill any that he observed. He stated they called pest control on
Tuesday due to the number of flies they observed. The Maintenance Supervisor stated other than being a
pest control issue the risk would be residents being annoyed by them.
Interview on 07/13/23 at 4:35 PM with the Administrator revealed flies had been a constant issue. He stated
this year had been worse than others. The Administrator stated since May 2023 they have had monthly
services with an additional service to treat the flies. The Administrator stated they treated it as best as they
were able; however, pest control could not enter the resident rooms with residents inside and some
residents did not want to leave their rooms. He stated housekeeping went inside the room twice a day to
clean the rooms. He stated the heaviest halls with flies were Hall B and D due to the door leading outside.
The Administrator stated the risk would be infection control in the environment.
Review of the facility's Pest Control policy, revised dated [NAME] 2008, reflected: Our facility shall maintain
an effective pest control program. 1. This facility maintains an on-going pest control program to ensure that
the building is kept free of insects and rodents .6. Maintenance services assist, when appropriate and
