F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to treat each resident 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, recognizing each resident's individuality for 17 of 17 male residents in the male memory care unit and 18 of 18 female residents in the female memory care unit reviewed for dignity. During dining observation, all residents in the memory care units, including Residents #44, #53 and #65 were observed eating with plastic utensils while residents in the general population were allowed to eat with metal silverware. This failure placed residents at risk for diminished quality of life, loss of dignity, and self-worth. Findings included: During observation of the noon meal service on 04/23/24 at 12:46 pm, residents on both male and female memory care units were observed using plastic utensils. RN A who was in the dining room during this observation stated they had to do this since residents used metal utensils as tools to get out of the windows. All residents were noted to be eating well. Residents were not interviewable and unable to discuss use of plastic utensils but were able to indicate whether or not they liked the food. Residents #44, #65 and #53 resided in the male memory care unit and were observed eating with plastic utensils during the meal service. During an interviews with ADON B and RN A on 04/26/24 at 11:30 am, ADON B stated they had care planned all of the residents to reflect they would use plastic utensils due to safety concerns. RN A stated Residents are crafty and they hide the silverware. We would have to do a strip search of everyone after meals if we found we were missing silverware. We care planned everyone and are trying to keep them safe. The residents haven't complained about using plasticware. Record review of Care Plan dated 02/20/24 for Resident #44 revealed a care plan focus that included Uses plastic utensils during meals related to potential for using metal utensils as tools/devices to facilitate elopement. Record review of Resident #44's face sheet documented a [AGE] year-old male admitted [DATE]. Resident #44's diagnoses includes unspecified intracranial injury with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration, hemiplegia affecting left dominant side, gastrostomy status, and unspecified dementia (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. (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 0578 DNR status out of hospital DNR. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Record review of Resident #65's admission MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 01 indicating severe cognitive impairment. Residents Affected - Few Record review of Resident #65's Out of Hospital Do Not Resuscitate form dated 03/06/24 revealed it was signed by his Medical Power of Attorney and two witnesses in both of the appropriate places.

During an interview with SW on 04/25/24 at 9:40 am, SW was asked about the DNR forms and the missing documentation. SW agreed the forms were not properly executed and should be corrected. Both forms had the same physician so the SW stated she would ensure the doctor was contacted since the DNR status would no longer be valid until corrected. A copy of #44's DNR was in the binder for hospice so SW stated hospice will need to be notified of the need for correction. During the conversation with the SW, the Administrator came into the office and was informed of the DNR forms need for corrections. ADM agreed they should be corrected as soon as possible. The SW had only taken the position 3 weeks ago but stated she would be doing an audit of all DNR forms to ensure they were correct and valid.

LVN H called housekeeping and a housekeeper came to the unit to remove the roach and cleaned the handrail. LVN H stated, they just sprayed 3 days ago so maybe that was why there was a dead bug. LVN H stated he did not know if the pest control company sprayed in the Men's Unit. LVN H further stated that housekeeping comes in daily to clean but had not been in the unit as of this time. Upon further observation of the unit on 04/26/24 at 9:45 am, Surveyor I noted a live roach crawling around in the bathroom of room [ROOM NUMBER]. When asked about the process for reporting pests, LVN H stated I let the BOM know if I see bugs and she calls pest control. There is also a book at the nurses station for pest control. During an interview on 04/26/24 at 10:01 am, Adm stated I am aware of pest control issues. I haven't heard of bug issues in the unit. I am working with residents who have food in their room to ensure they keep food in closed containers. Record review of Pest Control book revealed pest control comes at least monthly and upon request. The last monthly visit was dated 04/01/24.
