On 01/30/24 an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified. While the IJ was removed on 02/01/24, the facility remained out of compliance at a severity level of potential for more than minimal harm and a scope of isolated due to the facility continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their Plan of Removal. This failure placed residents at risk of not receiving appropriate care, interventions, and/or death. The findings included: Resident #1 Record review of Resident #1's admission Record, dated 01/30/24, revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident's diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease (memory loss), insomnia (trouble falling and/or staying asleep), abnormalities of gait and mobility (problems with walking and standing), cognitive communication deficit (difficulty with communication), muscle weakness, and dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing food or liquid). Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 01/19/24, revealed a BIMS score of 0, indicating severe cognitive impairment. Record review of Resident #1's undated care plan revealed the following: resident had impaired thought processes, ADL self-care performance deficit. Resident required one-person assist as condition warranted with bed mobility, one-person extensive assistance with toilet use, and limited one-person assist as condition warranted due to fluctuation in condition related to disease process with transferring. Resident was at risk for falls and had a potential for uncontrolled pain. Resident #2 (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.

She had impaired thought processes, a communication problem related to neurological symptoms related to Parkinson's and dementia and was at risk for falls related to decreased safety awareness, gait/balance problems, impaired mobility, and psychoactive drug use. Observation on 01/30/24 at 7:38 a.m., revealed Resident #1 and Resident #2's bedroom door, located in the memory care unit, did not open when the state surveyor attempted to enter their bedroom. The state surveyor notified Nurse A and asked her if she could open the door. Nurse A went to the bedroom door an attempted to open the door but was unsuccessful. Nurse A called out to CNA A who walked over to the door and said she thought the bathroom door was wedged behind the bedroom door which was preventing it from opening. CNA A and Nurse A took turns knocking on the bedroom door and calling out for Resident #2 asking her to open the door. CNA A said Resident #1 was Spanish speaking and did not understand what they were saying. Nurse B went to the residents' door and attempted to open the door and called out for Resident #2 by name. CNA A, Nurse A, and Nurse B were unable to get the residents bedroom door open. The Floor Tech was notified, and he tried to get the door open but was unable.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few In an interview on 01/30/24 at 10:17 a.m., Nurse A said she had been working at the facility since October 2023. She said she was working the 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. shift today and arrived at the facility at approximately 6:20 a.m. She said she was at the nurse's station when CNA A told her that Resident #1 and #2's bedroom door would not open. She said she went to the bedroom door and tried to open it, but it would not open. She said she called Resident #2's name, and the resident said huh. She said she told Resident #2 to open the door many times, but she did not open the door. She said she told Nurse B that Resident #2's door would not open. She said she thought maybe something was caught on the door because when she pushed the door it would not open. She said she went to get the Maintenance Director but saw the Floor Tech when she was leaving the memory care unit. She said the Floor Tech called the Maintenance Director, and she told him that the bedroom door would not open when they tried to open it. She said the Maintenance Director told her to give the phone back to the Floor Tech so he could tell him what to do. She said when she gave the phone back to the floor Tech, he walked away and then came back with a tool and opened the door. She said if there was a medical emergency, she would call for another nurse, call 911, call the nursing director, run outside to the back where the residents' bedroom window was located, and break the window if needed, and try to attend to the patient to see what the emergency was . In an interview on 01/30/2024 at 11:12 a.m., the Maintenance Director said he had been working at the facility for approximately 3 years. He said he received a phone call this morning at approximately 7:52 a.m. from the Floor Tech. He said the Floor Tech told him that the restroom door and bedroom door to Resident #1 and 2's room were closed together and would not let the other one open. He said he told him he had to go to the closet and get a metal door opener to get the doors opened. He said this morning, when he received the phone call, was the first time he found out that the bathroom door was not working properly. He said all facility doors were checked monthly. He said in case of an emergency, they would call him, and he would instruct staff on what to do, and if needed he would go to the facility. He said the department heads and some of the facility staff submitted work orders through their online system. He said the other method was by writing a request in the maintenance log located at each nurse's station. He said the bathroom doors had a spring, not a pin, that need to be taken out and readjusted so the bathroom door would shut back on its own faster than the bedroom door opened . In an interview on 01/30/24 at 12:02 p.m., the Floor Tech said he had been working at the facility for approximately 2 years. He said the nurse (could not recall their name) told him Resident #1 and #2's bedroom door could not be opened. He said he called the Maintenance Director who told him to go get a metal tool from the closet located outside. He said he used the metal tool to get the door to open. He said today was the first time he was told that the bathroom door was not working properly . In an interview on 01/30/23 at 4:11 p.m., the Administrator said she had been working at the facility since 12/15/23. She said to her knowledge this type of incident had not happened in the past. She said the Maintenance Director showed her the bathroom door and told her the hinge had gotten off balance/dropped. She said the Maintenance Director showed her that he fixed the door and told her he checked the other doors to make sure it was not happening with any of the other bathroom doors. She said she asked the Maintenance Director if the doorknob could be switched to another shaped doorknob that the resident could still open. She said the Maintenance Director was going to talk to his supervisor about coming up with a solution. She said in case of a medical emergency, her expectation would be for staff to call 911, notify manager, notify maintenance, take the door knob off, and continue to make entry into the room until emergency personnel arrived on scene. She said the fire department was approximately 1 to 2 blocks away and would arrive to the facility quickly .
