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. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to treat residents with respect, dignity and care for each resident in a manner that promotes maintenance or enhancement of his or her quality of life for 13 of 13 residents in the confidential group interview. Staff used cell phones in residents' presence causing residents to feel disrespected. Staff told residents to go to the bathroom on themselves and the residents would be changed later. This failure resulted in a diminished quality of life for the identified residents and could affect additional residents by causing a loss of self-esteem and increased isolation. The findings included: Interview on 05/16/23 at 10:19 AM during the confidential resident council meeting 13 alert, lucid residents stated unanimously that staff were on the phone while providing care. One resident said a Medication Aide or Nurse talked to their child while on their (the staff's) ear buds while pouring medications and it made the resident uneasy about their medication. Another resident stated one of the African Aides talked to whoever in that aide's native language for the entirety of the shower. The residents said it did not make a difference if it was day shift or night shift or weekends. The residents stated it made them feel lousy and disrespected. The residents reported because the staff were on the phone they had to wait forever for care. A resident said the staff told residents to go to the bathroom on themselves and the resident would be changed later. One resident said they saw this happen to a resident who asked to go to the bathroom but was unable to transfer without help. A resident who was present said an aide told her to urinate on themselves three evenings prior to the interview and it was gross. The residents were asked if surveyor could fix one thing in the building what would it be, and all 13 residents stated not having the staff on their phone and/or ear buds while providing care. Interview on 05/17/23 at 11:47 AM the DON stated the management staff would peek in the facility at nighttime every once in a while. She said she drove around the building, peeked in, and looked for if call lights were going off, staff bunching up (standing in a group together and not working) and being available. The DON stated once she got into the building for a check for smells, if snacks and ice were passed, and if rounds were done. The DON said it would be hard to watch for staff to resident interactions because staff would go on their best behavior when she (the DON) was present. The DON added that the ADONs had to cover the night shift once in a while and they could supervise the halls at that time.

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Interview on 05/18/23 at 11:57 AM the DON said her expectation on cell phone use was not to have the staff using the cell phone while in a resident room at all. The DON said if the staff had to take a call they could step into the 'cut out' (storage space on the hallway) or go to the break room. She said her expectation was staff not be on social media while on duty. The DON said she did not want staff on their phones while residents were in the shower, especially not hiding in the shower room having a long conversation. The DON said she monitored for cell phone use by making rounds which was usually every couple hours. The DON said she wouldn't like it if the staff were on the phone while they were taking care of her and it would make her upset and mad and sad, that the staff did not have their full attention on her during care. The DON said she was frustrated about the cell phone use because they had a major in-service about cell phone use in the bathrooms. She said it occurred because of one of the resident council meetings. Observation on 05/18/23 02:56 PM revealed NA J in front of the nurse's station standing behind Resident #32 on the phone. Review of the Resident Council Minutes, dated 4/11/23, revealed 21 residents attended and they informed the facility that the residents were not changed in a timely manner; and CNAs told residents to use restroom in pull -up or brief and the CNA would change the resident later.

Review of the Resident Council Minutes, dated 5/3/23, revealed the residents communicated to the facility that CNAs were always on the phone and have their headphones in. Review of the in-services, dated 5/3/23, revealed phones are to only be used on break times and are to only be out in breakroom or outside of the facility. No phones in common areas or res areas. Ear pods /headphone are not to worn . We have to be able to focus on our jobs and be able to direct all of our attention to the residents. Review of the Complaint Book documented: On 2/2/23 Resident #21 reported staff were rude and left her in the bathroom alone. She also communicated the staff refused to change her when she was wet. On 4/12/23 Resident #4 told an aide Resident #4 needed to go use the bathroom. Resident #4 communicated the aide totally ignored Resident #4 and the aide said no, no go to the dining room.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 each resident received adequate supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents for 2 of 2 residents (Resident #5 and #310) reviewed for accident/hazards/supervision, in that: LVN E and CNA F transferred resident #310 from his wheelchair to his bed by hooking their arms under the resident's armpits and without the use of a gait belt. CNA I and CNA H transferred Resident #5 from her bed to her wheelchair by hooking their arms under the resident's armpits and with the improper use of a gait belt. These failures could put residents at risk of accidents and serious injuries which could result in a reduced quality of life. The findings included: Review of Resident #5's admission Record, dated 5/17/23, revealed she was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included cellulitis of the right lower limb, arthritis, muscle weakness, hemiplegia (paralysis on one side), and stroke. Review of Resident #5's quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 4/10/23, revealed: Cognitive Ability was not assessed. She needed extensive assistance of two staff for transfers. She had range of motion impairment on one side of the lower extremity and used a wheelchair. Review of Resident #5's care plan, revised 2/12/19, revealed: Problem - Resident #5 has an ADL self-care performance deficit related to stroke. Goal - The resident will maintain current level of function through the review date. Interventions - Transfer - The resident needs extensive assistance with this task. Review of Resident #5's Care Plan, initiated 10/11/22 revealed: Problem - Resident Requires assist with ADLs.

F 0689 Interventions - provide level of support to complete transferring needs every shift. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of Resident #5's ADL Flow Sheet on Transfers for 5/5/23 through 5/17/23 revealed Resident helped stand without plopping nine times and Resident #5 did not help with the transfer 19 times. Residents Affected - Some Observation on 5/15/23 at 11:10 AM revealed Resident #5 needed help sitting up in bed. The aides helped her sit up and CNA I set the wheelchair up at the end of the bed and locked the wheels. CNA H put the gait belt around Resident #5. Both aides (CNA I and CNA H) hooked their arms under Resident #5's arms, grabbed the back of the gait belt and helped Resident #5 stand. The gait belt slid up to the bottom of Resident #5's shoulder blades. Resident #5 had difficulty staying in a standing position as her legs shook. The aides assisted Resident #5 in pivoting and sitting in the wheelchair. Review of Resident #310's admission Record dated 5/16/23 revealed that he was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included malignant neoplasm of unspecified lung, malignant neoplasm of bone, orthopedic aftercare, aftercare following surgery for neoplasm, unspecified fracture of T9-T10, neoplasm related pain, and stroke.

He required extensive assistance with mobility ADLs and moderate assistance with all other ADLs. He used a wheelchair for mobility. He had spinal (involving lamina, discs, or facets) and other orthopedic (repair fractures of the pelvis, hip, leg, knee, or ankle) surgery in the 100 days prior to admission. Review of Resident #310's Baseline Care Plan initiated 5/11/23, revealed: Problem - Resident requires assist with ADLs Goal - Resident is able to perform self-care to optimal level and maintains strength and endurance for 90 days Interventions - Encourage independence in performance of self-care and mobility within limitations; Provide level of support to complete dressing, toilet use, personal hygiene, and bathing needs every shift; Therapy to evaluate and treat if indicated. Observation on 05/15/23 at 03:18 PM revealed Resident #310 required assistance getting into bed after incontinent care performed in his bathroom. LVN E positioned the resident's wheelchair at the bedside and locked both wheels. LVN E made sure that the footpath was clear of any trip hazards. LVN E came to Resident #310's right side and CNA F came to his left side. LVN E placed his arm under the resident's right armpit and CNA F placed her arm under the resident's left armpit and together they lifted Resident #310 out of the wheelchair by his arms and pivoted him in a half circle and placed him on his bed. LVN E and CNA F then repositioned Resident #310 until he was comfortable in the bed. There was no gait belt used during this transfer.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some two-person transfer. She stated the resident must be weight bearing. The staff would sit the resident up, put a gait belt around them, and the resident's feet should be on the floor. She stated staff could hook their arm under the resident's arm if the staff's weight was on the gait belt and not used to pull someone up by their arm. She stated that any time staff used their arms to hook under a resident's arms to transfer, they should be using a gait belt for the transfer. The DON stated that all transfers should be done with a gait belt, so they had something to hold onto if the resident fell. Regarding Resident #5, DON was informed of the observed transfer in which the gait belt was not tight enough and the staff were pulling the resident by her arms, and the observation of the resident's leg shaking while trying to bear weight. DON stated I don't have her as a mechanical lift. I don't remember her being on a mechanical lift. She had been on therapy recently She gets physical therapy right now. In an interview on 05/17/23 at 12:00 PM, the DON stated that the facility determined the type of transfer by whether the resident was an unreliable weight-[NAME]. She explained that if the resident could stand but the staff knew the resident would drop in the middle of a transfer, they would assign the resident a mechanical lift. She stated most of time we have therapy come and they determine who uses a mechanical lift or sliding board, those kinds of things. If they come in with an order for non-weight bearing, we'll go by the order, then if we're unsure of that we'll contact therapy. In the mean time we'll use a mechanical lift. We have therapy assess them as needed. Surveyor requested the policy and any in-services on transfers completed in the previous three (3) months. In an interview on 05/17/23 at 01:08 PM, the DOR stated that regarding staff training she did transfers, any specific resident needs which could be positioning or equipment. She stated when she trained staff to do two-person transfers she wanted them to make sure the area was clear, use a gait belt, and make sure the wheels were locked on whatever transferring to and from (wheelchair/shower chair, mechanical lift). DOR stated she trained staff that during transfers the correct positioning for a two-person transfer was one person in front and the second person to assist on the side, one person grabbed both sides in back, while the other person grabbed in the middle of the back and the resident's open side. DOR stated she did not train staff to do a hug transfer because they were unsafe for the staff and the resident. She stated if the resident can hold the person's hug , it would prevent them from performing the task and if they were not able to take hold of the staff's arms, she would expect staff to put on a gait belt and the resident to hold onto the staff by their bicep . She stated that she did not like to transfer by the arms because the risk to the resident could be dislocation of shoulder, discomfort, and it was not safe. She stated that long term residents were reassessed at least quarterly and if something changed and nurses notified therapy her department would reassess as needed. She stated that if a resident was not able to reliably bear weight or not safe during a transfer (not able to follow commands or participate in transfer) they would be changed to a mechanical lift only transfer status. DOR stated that she taught the CNAs how to do transfers especially if it was a difficult transfer. She stated she thought her last staff in-service was in April or the week prior. She stated she did one-on-one teaching with new residents, usually the in the rehab hall. Regarding the two-person transfer with Resident #5 she stated she did not know where the staff would learn that kind of transfer, and it seems that the gait belt was too loose. She stated that a gait belt would be snug and if the resident did not like it the staff would need to explain that it would loosen when they stand. She stated Resident #5 has a history of wanting to bear weight on her toes. She stated that Resident #5's legs shaking could be a sign she was having trouble in therapy. DOR stated Resident #5 had been able to bear weight in therapy and take a few steps, but she had gone back and forth with her progress.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some transfer done with Resident #310 on 5/15/23, LVN E stated that Resident #310 was able to do sit to stand transfers with assistance. He stated after he (LVN E) and CNA F got the resident cleaned up in the bathroom and back over to the bed in his wheelchair, they got him some new non-slip socks and he had him use his arms and push himself up to standing and then helped him to pivot over to the bed and sit, then got him positioned comfortably on the bed. When he was advised of how the transfer was done from surveyor notes, he stated, oh no and shook his head. LVN E then stated, and with no gait belt and shook his head again. He stated that they should have used a gait belt and that a resident should never be lifted by their arms in that manner. He stated that he knew better than to transfer a resident in that way especially without a gait belt but that sometimes it did happen even though it shouldn't. He stated that he had received the most recent facility in-service on transfers in April which included two-person transfers. He stated that Resident #310 did have orders for non-weight bearing on his right leg due to his recent surgeries and he (LVN E) had been educating him about using his call light for assistance as well as the proper way to do transfers since he was admitted so he had no excuse for why he did the transfer incorrectly. In an interview on 5/18/23 at 8:40 AM, the DON and Corporate RN stated the facility's competency checklist on transfers for aides just had a line to address if the aide completed the appropriate transfer, not the steps involved in the transfer. Interview on 05/18/23 at 01:00 PM CNA H stated she did do the transfer with Resident #5 on Monday. She stated she remembered grabbing the gait belt in the front and back but denied hooking her arms under the resident's arms. When advised she did hook her arms under Resident #5's arms during the transfer, she raised her hands in a 'hands off not arguing motion' and stated Resident #5 bears weight, and she didn't notice her legs shaking. She stated that Resident #5 was able to push up from a seated position by herself. Review of undated facility procedure Two Person Pivot Transfer revealed: Purpose: To safely get resident from one surface to another by allowing resident to participate by weight bearing during transfer. Staff will use gait belt to assist in getting resident to stand and guiding resident to pivot. Equipment: 1. Gait Belt 2. Two staff members Procedure: 1. Explain procedure to resident. 2.

Bowel Continence = Always incontinent (no episodes of continent bowel movements). Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 08/15/2019 indicated in part: Problem: Resident has bladder incontinence- Resident has bowel incontinence. Goal: The resident will remain free from complications of urinary incontinence through the next review date. The resident will be continent during daytime through the review date Interventions: The resident uses disposable briefs. Check and change every 2-3 hours & PRN. Clean peri-area with each incontinence episode. Check @ least every 2-3 hours and as required for incontinence. Wash, rinse and dry perineum. Change clothing PRN after incontinence episodes. During an observation on 05/16/23 at 11:44 AM CNA A performed incontinent care for Resident #1. CNA A removed the resident's pants and brief. CNA A wiped Resident #1's rectal area with some wet wipes. The wipes had some bowel movement on them. CNA A wiped the resident's rectal area again with wet wipes and more bowel movement was observed which also came in contact with the CNA's gloves. CNA A then removed the soiled gloves and under her soiled gloves, was another pair already on her hands. While wearing the second pair of gloves, CNA A applied the new brief and assisted the resident with putting her pants back on. During an interview on 05/16/23 at 5:32 PM CNA A said after she had wiped Resident #1's rectal area she had removed the first pair of gloves because she wanted to have clean gloves since they were considered contaminated. CNA A said she had learned to double glove at the previous facility she worked at. CNA A said she had been working at the facility for about a year now. CNA A said she was not sure if they could use double gloves at this facility. CNA A said she should have removed her second pair of gloves before she applied the new brief and assisted the resident with her pants. CNA A said she would usually wash her hands when she removed her gloves because her hands could possibly be contaminated. CNA A said the second gloves could possibly become contaminated and she should have not worn the second pair. CNA A said due to her not having changed her gloves that could lead to cross contamination and possibly urinary tract infections. During an interview on 05/17/23 at 5:44 PM the DON said staff were expected to put on gloves if they were going to provide care to a resident. The DON said staff were not allowed to double glove because it could lead to cross contamination and infections. The DON was made aware of the observation of staff wearing double gloves during resident care. The DON said that probably occurred because the staff was nervous and perhaps went to back to old practice because they did not teach that here. During an interview on 05/18/23 at 2:56 PM the staffing nurse said she trained staff regarding infection control procedures. The staffing nurse said if a CNA provided incontinent care and after they wiped bowel movement, they were supposed to change their gloves, wash their hands and apply clean gloves. The staffing nurse said it was considered cross contamination if they did not change their gloves as they were considered contaminated.
