What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 3 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure an accurate MDS was completed for 1 of 5 residents (Residents #45) reviewed for MDS assessment accuracy. Residents Affected - Few The facility incorrectly coded Resident #45 as having a diagnosis of bipolar (extreme mood swings) on her MDS assessment. This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving the appropriate care and services to maintain the highest level of well-being. Findings included: Record review of an admission Record for Resident #45 dated 3/19/2024 indicated she admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was [AGE] years old with diagnoses of dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interfere with daily functioning), mood disorder (affects your emotional state), hypertension (high blood pressure), and aphasia (a language disorder that affects how you communicate). There was no record of a diagnosis of bipolar. Record review of an admission MDS assessment for Resident #45 dated 2/13/2024 indicated she was rarely/never understood. She had an active diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Record review of a care plan for Resident #45 dated 2/9/2024 indicated she was at risk for impaired cognitive function/thought processes related to dementia. She had diagnosis of mood disorder with interventions to administer medications as needed. During an interview on 3/20/2024 at 8:55 AM, the MDS Coordinator said she had been employed at the facility for 1 1/2 years. She said she was responsible for completing the MDS assessments for the residents and the DON signed the assessments. She said they believed there was a glitch with one of the diagnosis codes for mood disorders related to dementia for Resident #45. She said the charting system automatically generated the diagnosis in the MDS assessments based off the information in the resident chart. She said Resident #45 did not have a diagnosis of bipolar. She said in the MDS assessments she could have manually deselected the bipolar diagnosis in the diagnosis list. She said she completed a modification of the admission MDS for Resident #45 on yesterday. She said there could a risk for getting funding for things that were not being treated. She said going forward she would have someone check behind her like the DON or Resource MDS that signed off on the assessments. During an interview on 3/20/2024 at 8:40 AM, the Resource MDS said she audited the MDS assessments for the facility at least twice a year. She said they reached out to their corporate staff to see if (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 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents' environment remains as free of accident hazards as possible for 2 of 6 residents reviewed for accident hazards, (Resident #29 and Resident #36) in that: The facility failed to 1. develop and implement a policy and procedure including interventions to inspect the Hoyer sling for signs of damage before each use, 2. remove damaged mechanical lift slings from service and 3. obtain physicians orders for Hoyer lift transfers. This deficient practice could result in a loss of quality of life due to injuries if the damaged lift sling broke during transfer for residents that use a Hoyer lift for transfers and inappropriate use of Hoyer lifts for transfers if an order is obtained by the physician. The findings were: Record review of a physician's order summary dated 03/18/2024 indicated Resident #29 was an [AGE] year-old female that admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Unspecified Dementia (altered thinking, usually due to aging process), Seizures (involuntary, spastic muscle movements) and Cerebrovascular accident (stroke). There was no current order for Hoyer Lift Transfers. Record review of a quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #29 had severely impaired cognition and was rarely understood or understood by others and indicated Resident #29 was dependent for all activities of daily living including transfers. Record review of a physician's order summary dated 03/18/2024 indicated Resident #36 was a [AGE] year-old female that admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted [DATE] with diagnoses of Hypertension (high blood pressure), Unspecified Dementia (altered thinking, usually due to aging process) and Anxiety (nervousness). There was no current order for Hoyer Lift Transfers. Record review of an admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #36 had a BIMS score of 04 indicating severe impaired cognition and indicated Resident #36 was dependent for all activities of daily living including transfers. During an observation on 3/18/24 at 12:30 pm in the dining room, a Hoyer sling underneath Resident # 36 had connection straps that were faded light in color, light pink, light purple and light blue (almost gray in color). The label on the side of the sling had been partially torn off the sling and was in shreds. A brand label at the top of sling indicated the sling was a Innacare brand. During an observation on 3/18/24 at 12:35 pm in the dining room, a Hoyer sling underneath Resident # 29 had connection straps that were faded light in color light pink, light purple and light blue (almost gray in color). The Label on the side of the Hoyer sling was illegible and crinkled up. A brand label at the top of the sling indicated the sling was a Proheal brand During an observation and interview on 03/18/24 at 12:40 with CNA C regarding Resident # 29 and Resident # 36's Hoyer lift sling underneath them revealed she had not received any training on checking the connection straps for fraying or faded colors, or any process of taking them out of service.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few She said the connection straps were faded on the slings for Residents #29 and #30 compared to a newer sling underneath another resident in the dining room. CNA C said the newer Hoyer slings were bright blue, bright green and bright purple. CNA C said she worked at the facility for a while and did not know how long the slings stay in service before they are removed. CNA C said she had no received any training on what indicated they should not be used. She said she had several residents that required a Hoyer lift for transfers. She said that if a sling was not available on the hallway she would go to the laundry and retrieve one for use.

The DON said that the interventions listed on the improvement plan had been implemented and would include: 1. Training with nursing staff on mechanical slings 2. Training with nursing staff on when to replace/remove slings. 3. Training with laundry on laundering slings 4. Training with nursing staff on writing orders for transfers 5. Training with nursing staff on assessing residents transfer status. 6. Nursing staff will ask therapy to screen residents for transfer status. 7. All slings audited for wear and tear.
