What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to consult/ notify the physician when the resident experienced a significant change in their physical status for one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for physician notification of changes. The facility failed to consult with/notify the physician after Resident #1 displayed significant changes in condition on 05/06/24 such as lethargy, vomiting, a decrease of oxygen saturation of 85%, irregular lung sounds and after requiring resuscitation efforts. Resident #1 expired on 05/06/24. On 05/24/24 at 4:45 PM, an immediate jeopardy was identified. While the IJ was removed on 05/25/24 at 2:35 PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern with a severity of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that was not immediate jeopardy due to the facility continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their plan of removal. This failure could place residents at risk of a delay in medical treatment, decline in health, and/ or death. Findings included: Record Review of Resident #1's admission Record revealed an [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included fracture of the ilium (the large bones of the pelvis/ the hip bones), pubis (the bottom part of the hip bones in the center of the pelvis), and the sacrum (the large triangular bone at the base of the spine), falls, atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat), heart failure, cardiac pacemaker (a small, battery powered device that helps the heart beat in a normal rate and rhythm), and generalized muscle weakness. Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 14, which indicated that Resident #1 was cognitively intact. Resident #1 required partial/moderate assistance with personal hygiene, bed mobility, laying to sitting, sitting to standing, chair/bed transfer, toilet transfer, and tub/shower transfer. Resident #1 required substantial/ maximal assist with toileting hygiene, showering/ bathing self, upper and lower body dressing and putting on/ taking off shoes. Record Review of Resident #1's Skilled Nursing Note dated 05/06/24 at 7:35am indicated Resident #1 was alert and oriented x3 (able to answer at least 3 of the questions usually asked (name, place, time, situation) to assess a person's mental status and orientation), communicated verbally with clear speech, and was able to understand and be understood when speaking.

On 5/6/24 at 6:58pm the MD responded; however the response was not seen by facility staff until after 8:37pm on 5/6/24. In an interview with the family member on 5/17/24 at 10:46am, the family member presented paperwork for Resident #1 that included a Living Will that stated Resident #1 would not want artificially supplied food and water or other life-sustaining procedures should he have an incurable or irreversible (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676303 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 13 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 676303 B.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few condition caused by injury, disease, or illness certified to be a terminal condition by two physicians and where the application of life-sustaining procedures would serve only to artificially prolong the moment of my death. Family member presented an Out of Hospital Do Not Resuscitate Form for Resident #1, however it was not filled out or signed. The facility did not have a copy of Resident #1's Living Will and did not have a completed Out of Hospital DNR form. In an interview on 05/17/24 at 1:43pm, LVN B stated on 5/6/24, sometime before 8:00pm, she was getting things together for her hall when RN A told her that Resident #1's oxygen saturation was dropping and she was looking for an oxygen concentrator for him. LVN B stated RN A got a portable oxygen cylinder and went back to Resident #1's room. LVN B stated she finished putting stuff in her cart and locked it and went to Resident #1's room. LVN B stated when she walked into the room, RN A was on the opposite side of the bed with the pulse oximeter on Resident #1's hand that was closest to her. LVN B stated that Resident #1's breathing sounded like a boiling pot of water and that RN A told her the oxygen saturation was getting better. LVN B stated she told RN A that they should probably transfer Resident #1 to the hospital because he probably needed more suction than the facility could do. RN A told LVN B to call 911. LVN B stated she went out to the desk to call 911 so she would be able to read his information directly off the computer to the 911 operator. LVN B stated once she got off the phone with 911, she went back into the room to help with Resident #1. LVN B stated when the paramedics arrived, she left the room. In an interview on 05/17/24 at 2:21pm, RN A stated that on 5/6/24 at around 4:15 to 4:30pm, Resident #1's family member had told her that she was concerned about him because the last two days (the 5th and 6th) he had been more lethargic than she had noticed before and that he was not responding to her when she talked to him. RN A stated that she went in to check on Resident #1 and he did respond to her. RN A stated Resident #1 had one episode of nausea and vomiting around 5:00pm but then he was ok and drank some water. RN A stated that at about 7:35pm, Resident #1's family member came out to the nurse's station and asked RN A to come into Resident #1's room because she thought he was choking. RN A stated she had no doubt that Resident #1 aspirated because the head of his bed was down and he had vomited. RN A stated she put the head of the bed almost straight up and Resident #1 was projectile vomiting and was coughing. RN A stated at about 7:45pm, she thought that he was just about over it but then he started looking like he was not doing well, and his oxygen saturation was getting low in the 80s, so she went to get some oxygen and checked the message from the MD. RN A stated she did not take the phone with her back to the room. RN A stated that LVN B came into the room with the suction and crash cart. At approximately 8:00pm, LVN B went out to call 911 from the desk phone then went back into the room to help with CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation). RN A stated the paramedics arrived at about 8:05pm and continued CPR and Resident #1's family members went to the wife's apartment on the independent living side of the facility to get Resident #1's DNR (Do not resuscitate) paperwork. The paramedics were on the phone with medical control (a physician at a local emergency room that will give the paramedics at the scene specific orders for treatment if/ when necessary) while doing CPR on Resident #1. RN A stated that the paramedics stopped doing CPR and pronounced Resident #1 deceased at approximately 8:37pm at the direction of Medical Control. RN A stated the paramedics then left and she cleaned up the resident for the family. RN A stated she contacted the NP prior to 5:00pm about Resident #1's lethargy and first episode of vomiting and the NP discontinued the Paxil. RN A stated she texted the NP after 5:00p because she wanted to get lab and x ray orders because of Resident #1's fever but did not get an answer so she the texted the MD from the work phone. RN A stated the MD's answer was, What do you recommend, but that she did not see that until after the code at 8:37pm.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few episode of nausea and vomiting and that he had a low grade fever for two days on her shift and requested some lab work or x rays. RN A stated she was surprised when the MD texted back with, what do you recommend. RN A stated she did not try to call the MD because she did not have the phone with her. RN A also stated she did not direct LVN B to contact the physician because LVN B was busy with contacting 911 then with helping with Resident #1. In a phone interview on 5/17/24 at 4:11pm, the MD stated that he had gotten a text message from the facility on 5/6/24 at 6:49pm that said, Resident #1 has cough and lethargy'. The MD stated he texted back and asked, what do you recommend? hoping that the facility would give him some more information because the first text was very vague. The MD stated the next text he received was at 8:43pm and stated, Resident #1 suddenly aspirated and 911 was called. The MD stated he then received a text at 8:45pm that said, Resident #1 was coded for 37 minutes and deceased . The MD stated the next and final text message he received at 9:37pm stated, ER (Emergency Room) stopped CPR at 8:37pm. The MD stated that he did not understand the aspiration because he was not aware and had not been told that Resident #1 had been vomiting. The MD stated that was the only communication he received from the facility and that he did not see a missed call from the facility before the first text message at 6:49pm. In a phone interview on 5/24/24 at 9:14am, the MD stated in this situation, he would have expected to be contacted when the resident was looking worse and about Resident #1 being a full code and the family member not wanting CPR done. The MD also stated he would expect the facility to contact the NP or on call person as soon as there had been a change in Resident #1's condition. The MD stated if the NP or on call person was unavailable, the facility should have contacted him directly after Resident #1 aspirated and his condition was worsening. The MD stated if he had the information that was initially sent to the NP on Resident #1's condition, he would have asked for labs, and asked further questions as more information would have been needed at that time. The MD further stated if the facility had contacted as soon as Resident #1 aspirated, he would have had him sent to the emergency room immediately to be treated. The MD stated he was not certain that sending Resident #1 to the emergency room would have had a different outcome, but it was possible. In an interview on 5/17/24 at 5:15pm, the DON stated that she had taken a picture or screen shot of the text messages from the facility phone from 5/6/24 and had them on her phone. The DON read the text messages with times and content out loud to this state surveyor but did not allow visual confirmation. The following was what was read: 5:12pm the NP was notified about Resident #1's lethargy, that he had been started on Paxil a week ago, and the family wants to discontinue it. Also, Resident #1 running low grade temp. Flu and COVID negative. 5:22pm the NP texted back, Yes, that's fine. 5:46pm text to NP, Update temp of 100.6, has had cough. Incontinent, not new, has several wounds that require care, not particularly new. 5:48pm text to NP, Do you want labs or x ray done? (There was no response from the NP to the 5:46pm or 5:48pm texts) The DON stated, there was possibly an unanswered phone call placed to the MD, between 5:48pm and the next text that was sent.

F 0580 6:49pm text to MD, Resident #1 has cough and lethargy. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety 6:59pm response text from MD, what do you recommend? Residents Affected - Few The DON stated, I'm speculating here that the wording on the 6:49 text was just very basic cough and lethargy because Resident #1 at that point was already having some increased trouble and RN A was back in the room taking care of the resident, educating the family, and was trying to get some guidance from the NP or MD. The DON stated that there was a mobile phone belonging to skilled nursing that was supposed to be carried by one of the nurses. The DON explained if the desk phone rang and no one answered within a few rings, it would forward to the unit's mobile phone so the nurses can still be communicated with. The DON stated the phone was not specifically assigned to someone; the nurses just decided between them who would carry it. The DON stated that it appeared that no one had the phone with them that evening. The DON stated there was no policy regarding carrying the mobile phone, it was just a verbal thing that one of the nursing staff has that phone. The DON stated she felt that RN A had attempted to contact the physician prior to 7:35pm but did not follow up because she was busy with Resident #1 and did not have the phone with her. Review of the facility's Change in a Resident's Condition or Status Policy dated 02/2021 read in part: 1. The nurse will notify the resident's attending physician or physician on call when there has been a (an): d. significant change in the resident's physical/ emotional/ mental status; g. need to transfer the resident to a hospital/ treatment center; i. specific instruction to notify the physician of changes in the resident's condition. 2. A significant change of condition is a major decline or improvement in the resident's status that: a. will not normally resolve itself with intervention by staff or implementing standard disease- related clinical interventions (is not self-limiting) b. impacts more than one area of the resident's health status. c. requires interdisciplinary review and/ or revision to the care plan. 3. Prior to notifying the physician or healthcare provider, the nurse will make detailed observations and gather relevant and pertinent information for the provider, including (for example) information prompted by the Interact SBAR Communication Form. 5. Except in medical emergencies, notifications will be made within twenty-four (24) hours of a change occurring in the resident's medical/ mental condition or status. On 5/17/24 at 5:45pm, the ADMIN was asked for the facility's training or in-service information on physician notification or resident change in condition but did not provide it.

This was determined to be an immediate jeopardy on 5/24/24 at 4:45 PM. The administrator was notified. The administrator was provided with the IJ template on 5/24/24 at 4:45 PM. The following Plan of Removal submitted by the facility was accepted on 5/25/25 at 11:00 AM and indicated the following: Facility Plan of Removal 1. Surveyors identified the physician notification policy was not followed, and the physician for one resident was not notified of changes in condition. 2. All Residents were at risk for being affected by the same deficient practice. An audit was conducted to identify residents with Advanced Directives specifically who has DNR orders versus Full Code Orders and a binder created to easily identify these residents in the event of an emergency. All residents and/or their responsible parties are being interviewed to determine if they have experience similar delays in service as a result of communication deficits. 3. The Director of Nurses was educated by the Administrator on the facility Policy and Procedure for Notification of Changes to the Physician including the When to Call and Care Pathways resources. The remaining Facility Nursing staff will be educated by the Director of Nurses/Designee on the Policy and Procedure for Notification of Changes to the Physician via live training, and distance training to complete will all LVN's and RN's. Any Nursing Staff employee who cannot be contacted will be immediately removed from the schedule until which time they were contacted or prior to their next scheduled shift, whichever was sooner. 4. The education effectiveness will be monitored by conducting Mock Code Drills, with various shifts, to determine if the correct procedure was followed.
