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 review the facility failed to treat each resident with respect and dignity and care in a manner and in an environment that promoted resident independence and dignity while dining for one (1) of 24 residents reviewed for meal service. (Resident #53). LVN B stood beside Resident #53 while she assisted the residents to eat. This failure could place residents who need assistance with eating at risk for weight loss and a decreased quality of life. Findings included: Review of the Face Sheet for Resident #53 indicated she was an [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE]. She had the following diagnoses: Hyperthyroidism (when the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone), Alzheimer's disease (A type of brain disorder that causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior), Anxiety disorder (mental illnesses that cause constant fear and worry), Chronic Kidney Disease (a condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to properly filter waste), and Hypertension (high pressure in the vessels that carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body). Review of the MDS with assessment reference date of 5/14/2024 indicated that the resident had a BIMS score of 5, which indicated severely impaired cognition. Resident #53 also required partial to moderate assistance with meals. Review of care plan for Resident #53 dated 5/1/2024 reflected t hat she required moderate assistance of 1 person for ADLs. Resident was on a regular consistency diet. During an observation on 05/29/2024 at 12:42 PM, LVN B stood beside Resident #53 during mealtime to feed her. All other staff were assisting residents in the restorative dining room. LVN B would walk in the dining room to observe other residents and returned to Resident #53 three times and fed her while standing by her wheelchair. In an interview on 05/29/2024 at 3:09 PM LVN B stated she should have been at eye level with the resident when she was assisting her with her meal. She said that standing over the resident could have a negative effect by making the resident feel like the employee was rushing and that standing over the resident was a dignity issue. She said that next time she would assist the resident to the restorative dining room if she required assistance with meals.

Record review of a care plan for Resident #32 did not indicate he was PASSR positive. During an interview on 5/30/2024 at 9:35 AM, the DON said she had been employed at the facility for 1 year. She said she was also responsible for completing PASSR for all the residents in the facility. She said she was aware that Resident #32 had a diagnosis of mental illness that was dated in 2022 but that was prior to her working at the facility and being responsible for PASSR. She said she completed a new Level 1 for Resident #32 on 5/29/2024 and had contacted the Local Authority about doing an evaluation. She said when a resident had a new diagnosis of mental illness or if they went to a behavioral hospital, a new PASSR form should be completed for the Local Authority to come and conduct an evaluation. She said residents could be at risk of not receiving needed services that PASSR offers. Record review of a PASSR Level1 Screening dated 5/29/2024 for Resident #32 (after surveyor questioned) indicated he was positive for mental illness. During an interview on 5/30/2024 at 10:30 AM, the Administrator said the DON was responsible for PASSR. He said he was made aware of Resident #32 having new diagnosis of mental illness but those were added prior to the DON working at the facility.

During an interview on 05/29/24 at 4:05 PM, the DON said she was also the infection prevention nurse and all staff had been trained on hand hygiene. She said the MDS nurse had been properly trained on performing hand hygiene during meal service and should have performed hand hygiene after handling a resident and between each meal tray served. She said if hands were not washed it could lead to the spread of infections and expected all staff to follow proper infection control measures during meal service. During an interview on 5/30/2024 at 9:35 AM, the DON said she had been employed at the facility for a year. She said she was the IP and the ADON was the backup.

She said when she received it, she did not read through it thoroughly about residents with indwelling catheters needing EBP. She said the staff would not have known about EBP prior to 5/28/2024 because they did not get an in-service training on it. She said EBP were for residents who had indwelling catheters and chronic wounds and staff should wear a gown and gloves when they provided patient care. She said going forward she started an in-service with the staff on EBP on 5/28/2024. She said there was a risk for spreading infections and diseases if staff did not follow EBP. During an interview on 5/30/2024 at 9:44 AM, the Administrator said the infection prevention nurse and the DON were responsible for ensuring all staff now when to perform hand hygiene. He said there had been training on hand hygiene and would ensure it was specific to meal service. He said if hand hygiene was not performed it could cause spread of germs. He said he expected all staff to follow proper procedure for hand hygiene. During an interview on 5/30/2024 at 10:30 AM, the Administrator said the IP/DON was responsible for training staff on infection control.
