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 in a manner and in an environment that promoted maintenance or enhancement of his or her quality of life, for 3 of 6 residents (Resident #22, #40, and #39) reviewed for resident rights, in that: 1. LVN A did not knock on Resident #22's door prior to entering his room. 2. CNA R stood while she fed Resident #40 at dinner time. 3. LVN A stood while she fed two unidentified residents at dinner time. 4. RN E did not knock on Resident #39's door prior to entering her room. This failure could place residents needing assistance at risk for diminished quality of life, loss of dignity and self-worth. The findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #22's face sheet, dated 5/4/23 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included hemiplegia and hemiparesis (hemiplegia is defined as paralysis of partial or total body function on one side of the body, whereas hemiparesis is characterized by one-sided weakness, but without complete paralysis), type 2 diabetes (a long-term condition in which the body has trouble controlling blood sugar and using it for energy) and disorders of visual pathways due to vascular disorders (slow/progressive disease of narrowing/blockage of blood vessels). Record review of Resident #22's most recent quarterly MDS assessment, dated 4/19/24 revealed the resident was moderately cognitively impaired for daily decision-making skills. Observation on 4/30/24 at 3:40 p.m., during initial tour, revealed Resident #22 sitting up in bed. As Resident #22 was being interviewed by the State Surveyor, LVN A entered Resident #22's room without knocking on the door. LVN A, after realizing the State Surveyor was in the room, excused herself and left the room. During an interview on 4/30/24 at 3:40 p.m., Resident #22 was asked if staff usually entered his room without knocking and Resident #22 replied, yes, they do it all the time and I hate it.

That was my third time going in there. I do knock on the door just to let you know. 2. Record review of Resident #40's face sheet, dated 5/3/24 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Parkinsonism (a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movement, chiefly affecting middle-aged and elderly people) Bell's Palsy (weakness in the muscles on one half of the face), protein-calorie malnutrition, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and cognitive communication deficit. Record review of Resident #40's most recent quarterly MDS assessment, dated 2/12/24 revealed the resident was severely cognitively impaired for daily decision-making skills. Record review of Resident #40's comprehensive care plan, with revision date 3/5/24 revealed the resident had an ADL self-care performance deficit with interventions that included the resident required staff participation to eat. During an observation and interview on 4/30/24 at 5:18 p.m., CNA R was observed standing while feeding Resident #40. CNA R stated she was standing while feeding Resident #40 because there were no available chairs to sit on. CNA R further stated she could not leave Resident #40's side because she had already started feeding him. CNA R revealed she should not have been standing while feeding Resident #40 because she needed to be at his eye level. 3. Observation and interview on 5/1/24 at 5:02 p.m., revealed LVN A was standing while feeding two unidentified residents during dinner time. LVN A stated she could not find a chair to sit on and was supposed to be sitting down while feeding the residents for the resident's comfort. 4.

During an interview on 5/3/24 at 9:13 a.m., RN F stated she had announced herself to Resident #39 but realized she had not knocked on the door before entering the room. RN F stated, it's a big deal because you are going into somebody else's space and their space needs to be respected. During an interview on 5/1/24 at 5:31 p.m. the Administrator responded they shouldn't be doing that regarding staff standing while feeding the residents. During an interview on 5/2/24 at 5:55 p.m., the DON revealed it was her expectation for staff to knock and announce themselves before entering a resident's room because you don't know what the resident is doing and that is their room. It's their right to privacy.

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 observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents' right to formulate an advance directive for 1 of 8 residents (Resident #146) reviewed for advanced directives, in that: The facility failed to ensure Resident #146's Out-of-Hospital Do Not Resuscitate (OOH DNR) was dated and signed by a witness, 2nd physician, and or notary public which made the document invalid. This failure could place residents at-risk of having their end of life wishes dishonored, and of having CPR performed against their wishes. The findings included: Record review of Resident #146's face sheet, dated [DATE] revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included acute respiratory failure (serious condition in which your lungs cannot release enough oxygen into your blood or remove carbon dioxide effectively), acute kidney failure with tubular necrosis (a condition that causes the lack of oxygen and blood flow to the kidneys, damaging them. Tube-shaped structures in the kidneys, called tubules, filter out waste products and fluid. These structures are damaged in acute tubular necrosis), and cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle which makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood to other parts of the body). Further review of Resident #146's face sheet revealed the resident was identified as DNR status. Record review of Resident #146's admission MDS assessment, dated [DATE] revealed the resident was severely cognitively impaired for daily decision-making skills. Record review of Resident #146's comprehensive care plan, updated [DATE] revealed the resident was DNR status with interventions which included in absence of b/p, pulse, and respiration, CPR will not be initiated. Record review of Resident #146's Order Summary Report, dated [DATE] revealed the following: - DNR (Do Not Resuscitate), with order date [DATE] and no end date. Record review of Resident #146's OOH DNR, dated [DATE] revealed it was signed by the nearest living relative on [DATE] and by the physician on [DATE]. The areas for two witnesses, a notary, or 2nd physician were all blank. During an interview on [DATE] at 4:13 p.m. the DON confirmed they had deleted the DNR document from the electronic medical record so they could fix it. The DON stated they were waiting for hospice to fix the DNR. The DON stated at the facility it was still considered valid but if they called the city, they would perform CPR and that would not be honoring the resident's wishes. Record review of the facility policy titled DNR, undated, stated There are 2 ways we can obtain a DNR order: 1. The Out of Hospital DNR used on the Texas form. This version is universally accepted for all medical personnel in all settings 2. Physician's order for DNR. This can only be honored by your facility. I have attached the policy for DNR that covers both of these in detail.

F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure individuals with mental health disorders were provided an accurate Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Screening for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for PASRR (Residents #16). The facility failed to ensure Residents #16 had an accurate PASRR Level 1 Screenings indicating diagnoses of mental illness and refer the residents to the state designated authority. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving needed assessments (PASRR Evaluation), individualized care, and specialized services to meet their needs. Findings included: Record review of Resident #16's face sheet, dated 5/1/24 indicated Resident #16 was an [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included bipolar disorder (A serious mental illness characterized by extreme mood swings) and age related cognitive decline. Record review of Resident #16's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 2/5/24, indicated Resident #16's cognition was intact for daily decision making and had a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Record review of Resident #16's a physician's order dated 5/1/2021 indicated Resident #16 took Depakote daily for bipolar disorder. Record review of Resident #16's PASRR Level 1 Screening completed on 1/16/23 indicated in section C0100 there was no evidence of this individual having mental illness. During an interview on 5/3/24 at 1:11 p.m. the DON stated Resident #16's bipolar diagnosis was added a few days after his PASRR level 1 was completed. The DON stated they should have resubmitted a new level 1 when the diagnosis was added. The DON stated they should have done this because the resident could miss out on PASRR services.
