F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure each resident was treated with respect, dignity, and care for each resident in a manner and in an environment that promoted the maintenance or enhancement of their quality of life, recognizing each resident's individuality. The facility failed to protect and promote the rights of the resident for 1 of 18 (Resident #33) residents reviewed for resident rights. CNA D failed to provide Resident #33 privacy during incontinent care. This failure could place residents at risk for diminished quality of life and loss of dignity and self-worth. Findings included: Record review of Resident #33's face sheet dated 01/13/24, revealed a [AGE] year-old male with an original admission date of 07/19/24 with the following diagnoses: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (inability of the body to use insulin properly), cerebral infarction (stroke), diverticulosis (digestive condition), cognitive communication deficit (communication difficultly caused by cognitive impairment), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and anxiety. Record review of Resident #33's admission MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS of 08, indicating mild cognitive impairment. Section H-Bladder and Bowel revealed Resident #33 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. Record review of Resident #33's comprehensive care plan revised on 07/25/24, revealed the resident was incontinent with an intervention to provide incontinence care after each incontinent episode. During an incontinent care observation on 01/07/25 at 10:51 AM for Resident #33, CNA D failed to pull the privacy curtain before performing incontinent care, which placed the resident at risk of exposure if a staff member or resident opened the door. During incontinent care, CNA D left Resident #33 uncovered while he went to the resident's restroom to sanitize his hands between glove changes, which exposed the resident's lower back and buttocks areas. During an interview on 01/07/25 at 3:12 PM with CNA D, he stated he failed to properly provide privacy to Resident #33 during incontinent care by not pulling the privacy curtain and not draping the resident when he left the bedside to sanitize his hands. He stated he had been trained to provide privacy during incontinent care, but he was rushing and got in too big of a hurry. CNA D stated he had (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 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few received privacy training from the DON and the ADON and through monthly training videos. He stated a potential negative outcome for failure to provide privacy during care was the resident could be exposed and have a lack of privacy. During an interview on 01/08/25 at 11:38 AM with the ADM, she stated she was not aware that staff were not providing proper privacy to residents during care. She stated all staff had been trained on privacy and dignity by nursing administration. When asked what her expectation was for staff to provide privacy during care, she stated, It is a big deal to me. A lot of people are modest, and I expect staff to always maintain the residents' privacy. The ADM stated a potential negative outcome for failure to provide privacy during care was that the resident would be embarrassed or have a decreased level of self-esteem. During an interview on 01/08/25 at 12:09 PM with the DON, she stated she was not aware that staff were not providing proper privacy to residents during care, prior to survey. She stated privacy during care should be provided to each resident by closing the door, pulling the privacy curtain, closing the blinds, and draping the resident appropriately. She stated she was responsible to assure staff were trained on providing privacy during care and training was conducted through in services as well as through monthly video trainings. The DON stated a potential negative outcome for failure to provide privacy during care was that resident dignity was not intact.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure all residents had the right to formulate advance directives for 1 of 15 residents (Resident #11) reviewed for advanced directives. The facility failed to ensure Residents #11, who was listed as DNR (Do Not Resuscitate), had an Out-of-Hospital Do Not Resuscitate (OOH-DNR) form that did not have missed required information on the OOH-DNR. These failures could place residents at risk for not having their end of life wishes honored and incomplete records. Findings included: Resident #11 Record review of Resident #11's undated face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old-female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and had diagnosisies which included Cerebral infarction (lack of blood supply to the brain), Dementia (irreversible that causes mental deterioration) and Type 2 Diabetes (problem with blood sugar). The face sheet indicated under the advance directive section - DNR-Do Not Resuscitate. Record review of Resident #11's physician order summary dated 01/08/24 reflected the following order: DNR-Do Not Resuscitate dated 05/19/23. Record review of Resident #11's care plan, dated 12/05/24, reflected care plan for DNR. Record review of Resident #11's OOH-DNR form dated 05/17/23 reflected there was no date that accompanied one of the witness's signatures. During an interview on 01/08/24 at 12:25pm with the SW, she stated OOH DNR was not valid if it's not filled out correctly. She stated she was responsible for ensuring OOH-DNRs were completed correctly. She verified missing information on OOH-DNR for Residents #11. She stated there was no system for monitoring OOH-DNRs for accuracy. She stated the reason the DNR's were not complete was human error. She stated she has been trained on OOH-DNRs. The SW stated the potential negative outcome for residents if a DNR was not completed correctly was the Resident may not have their final wishes honored and the facility may be taken to court. During an interview on 01/08/24 at 1:05PM with the ADM, she stated the OOH DNR was not valid if not filled out correctly. She stated the DON was responsible for making sure the OOH DNR was completed accurately. She stated they did not have a system in place to monitor OOH DNR for accuracy. She stated the DON should be reviewing the OOH DNRs for accuracy. She verified missing information on OOH DNR for Residents #11. She stated she did not know why the information was missing. She stated the potential negative outcome was the Resident's end of life wishes may not be honored. She stated she was trained on how to complete OOH DNR and her expectations were for them to be filled out completely and be correct.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Record review of the Social Services Policies and Procedures Advanced Directives (Revised March 2021) reflected the following: Policy Our facility will not use cardiopulmonary resuscitation and related emergency measures to maintain life functions on a resident when there is a Do Not Resuscitate Order in effect. A DNR order form must be completed and signed by the attending physician and resident or resident's legal surrogate and placed in the front of the resident's medical record. Should the resident be transferred to the hospital, a photocopy of the DNR order form must be provided to the personnel transporting the resident to the hospital. The DNR orders will remain in effect until the resident or legal surrogate provides the facility with a signed and dated request to end the DNR order. The interdisciplinary care planning team will review advance directives with the resident during quarterly care planning sessions to determine if the resident wishes to make changes in such directives. The resident's attending physician will clarify and present any relevant medical issues and decisions to the resident or legal representative as the resident's condition changes to clarify and adhere to the resident's wishes. Inquiries concerning do not resuscitate orders/requests should be referred to the administrator, director of nurses, or the social services director.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm following manufacturers' instructions. Disinfection is performed with an EPA-registered disinfectant labeled for use in healthcare settings. All applicable label instructions on EPA registered disinfectant products are followed (e.g., use-dilution, shelf life, storage, material compatibility, safe use and disposal). 1. Residents Affected - Few Low-level disinfection is defined as the destruction of all vegetative bacteria (except tubercle bacilli) and most viruses, some fungi, but not bacterial spores. Examples of low-level disinfectants include EPAregistered hospital disinfectants with a HBV and HIV label claim. Low-level disinfection is generally appropriate for most non-critical equipment. 2. Intermediate-level disinfection is traditionally defined as destruction of all vegetative bacteria, including tubercle bacilli, lipid and some nonlipid viruses, and fungi, but not bacterial spores. EPA-registered hospital disinfectants with a tuberculocidal claim are intermediate-level disinfectants. Intermediate-level disinfection is considered for non-critical equipment that is visibly contaminated with blood. However, a low-level disinfectant with a label claim against HBV and HIV may also be used.

The count for Methylphenidate 5 mg was noted at 5 remaining tablets. MA B was observed to sign out one tablet then wrote the remaining count at 4 tablets and signed her name. A resident in the hallway asked MA B a question, and MA B directed her attention to the resident and answered the question. MA B was then observed to pick up the blister pack for the controlled medication (Methylphenidate 5 mg) and place it back into the lock box drawer, lock the box, then close the drawer to the cart. MA B failed to remove the controlled medication from the blister pack prior to placing the medication back in the cart. MA B failed to verify medications in the cup with physician's orders to verify the correct number of medications to be administered. MA B was then observed to pour water into a drinking cup, lock her medication cart, pick up the cup of medications, and began walking into Resident #23's room to administer the medications. At that time, the surveyor provided intervention and asked MA B to verify the medications in the cup with Resident #23's physician's orders. MA B then opened her computer and counted the number of medications that were to be administered and stated, There should be 10 medications in the cup. MA B counted the medications in the cup and stated, Oh, I only have 9 pills here. I don't know which one is missing. I think I'll have to go back through the medication cards and verify each one. Observed MA B pull Resident #23's medication cards from the medication cart and reconcile the medications in the cup to the orders on her computer screen. MA B was observed to check approximately half the medications, then she accidentally spilled the cup of medications on top of the cart, requiring her to place the medications back into the cup, and restart the verification process. MA B verified 9 routine medications then stated, It must be the narcotic that I missed. MA B then unlocked the narcotic box and pulled out Resident #23's Methylphenidate 5 mg medication card which was observed to have 5 remaining tablets in the blister pack. MA B stated, I guess I got distracted and didn't pop the med after I signed it out. I would have caught it at shift change when the narc count was off, but it would have been too late to give the dose by then. MA B was then observed to dispense one tablet of Methylphenidate 5 mg into the cup with Resident #23's other medications, totaling ten (10) medications.
