F 0656 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs in order attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for one (Resident #1) of eleven residents reviewed for care plans. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 was attended and supervised while left in 96-degree heat for approximately 2 hours resulting in unresponsiveness, second degree skin burns, hospitalization, and heat stroke. The facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan to address Resident #1's behavior to ensure his safety while exercising his right to sit on the facility's patio during 96-degree heat, resulting in unresponsiveness, second degree skin burns, hospitalization, and heat stroke. The facility failed to implement/document the interventions that were in the care plan when Resident #1 refused hydration and to come inside the facility, during 96-degree heat, to ensure he did not overheat while sitting on the facility's patio. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 05/30/2024. While the IJ was removed on 05/31/2024 at 2:50 PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a severity level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy due to the facility continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their plan of removal. This failure could affect residents by placing them at risk for not receiving care and services to meet their needs. Findings include: Record review of Resident #1's Face Sheet dated 05/30/2024, reflected a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included: vascular dementia (problems with reasoning, planning, judgement and memory), hemiplegia unspecified affecting left nondominant side (paralysis of the left side due to neurological injury), open-angle glaucoma - right eye (fluid in eye causing pressure on the optic nerve), cerebral infarction (disrupted blood flow to the brain), hyperlipidemia (elevated level of lipids like cholesterol in the blood), major depressive disorder (mood disorder causing persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), muscle weakness, inflammatory liver disease (viral hepatitis), and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia (respiratory failure).

F 0656 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few interventions given that he often refused to come inside. The DON said the care plan should be specific when addressing behaviors because Resident #1 did have a right to stay on the patio as long as it did not pose a risk of harm to his wellbeing. She said that right needed to be balance with Resident #1's safety. In an interview on 05/30/2024 at 3:00 PM, Resident #4 stated he was going for supper at about 4:30 PM on 05/26/2024 but saw Resident #1 on the patio. He said he went to talk to Resident #1 but found him in his wheelchair and appeared to be asleep. Resident #4 said he poked Resident #1, and he did not respond. He stated he shook resident #1 and he was still unresponsive. Resident #4 said he called LVN V who came outside and brought Resident #1 into the facility. He said Resident #1 did not respond to LVN V either. He said the nurses called 911 and moved Resident #1 to the floor where they put ice and cold towels on him. He said the EMTs came quickly, and they took Resident #1 to the hospital. Resident #4 said Resident #1 liked it outside and often refused to come in even when it was hot. He said he could convince him to come in sometimes, but it depended on Resident #1's mood. An observation, at the hospital ICU, on 5/31/24 at 9:15 AM, revealed Resident #1 unresponsive to hospital staff's verbal commands. Resident #1 was on dialysis and a ventilator. He was missing skin on his forehead, right cheek / throat, and right arm. In an interview, at the hospital ICU, on 5/31/24 at 9:15 AM, the ICU RN and ICU Physician said although Resident #1 had been responding better to treatment, he still may not recover from his injuries. They said he was still non-responsive. The ICU Physician said EMTs brought Resident #1 to the hospital with a 106.5-degree F temperature. He said that puts the body in sever shock. They said it was their understanding that Resident #1 was found on the pavement and had been there for an unknown amount of time. This survey informed them of eyewitness accounts that Resident #1 was not on the ground while outside. The ICU Physician stated the burns could be cause from blistering caused when they placed cold towels and ice on Resident #1 to cool him down. He said it would be similar to frost bite and skin would come off. The ICU Physician said Resident #1 had a lot of underlying comorbidities and this incident amplified them. A telephone call to LVN V on 05/31/2024 at 1:25 PM revealed no response. A telephone call to LVN E on 05/31/2024 at 1:30 PM revealed no response. In an interview on 05/31/2024 at 2:14 PM, the Medical Director said he was aware that Resident #1 was found unresponsive on the patio. He said the ED called to discuss the burn marks reported by the hospital. He said they were likely from blistering which occurred when staff and EMTs placed cold towels and ice on Resident #1 to cool him. He said he could have got the burns from being outside for an extended period of time, but that time period was different for everyone. He said Resident #1 has a right to go outside but the facility was responsible to ensure his choice to do so was safe. The MD said Resident #1's labs completed on 04/12/2024 were normal. He said a chest x-ray was completed on 04/09/2024 and had no issues noted. In an interview on 05/31/2024 at 2:50 PM, the DON stated, she understood the failed to supervise and ensure Resident #1 was safe from hazards when he sat on the facility's patio in 92-degree heat for at approximately 1 3/4 - 2 hours. She stated there was no documentation that staff intervene in ensuring he came into the facility or that he was offered hydration. She stated the POR addressed the expectations on staff to ensure residents were safe in all weather conditions.

Resident #4 said Resident #1 liked it outside and often refused to come in even when it was hot. He said he could convince him to come in sometimes, but it depended on Resident #1's mood. An observation, at the hospital ICU, on 5/31/24 at 9:15 AM, revealed Resident #1 unresponsive to hospital staff's verbal commands. Resident #1 was on dialysis and a ventilator. He was missing skin on his forehead, right cheek / throat, and right arm. In an interview, at the hospital ICU, on 5/31/24 at 9:15 AM, the ICU RN and ICU Physician said although Resident #1 had been responding better to treatment, he still may not recover from his injuries. They said he was still non-responsive. The ICU Physician said EMTs brought Resident #1 to the hospital with a 106.5-degree F temperature. He said that puts the body in sever shock. They said it was their understanding that Resident #1 was found on the pavement and had been there for an unknown amount of time. This survey informed them of eyewitness accounts that Resident #1 was not on the ground while outside. The ICU Physician stated the burns could be cause from blistering caused when they placed cold towels and ice on Resident #1 to cool him down. He said it would be similar to frost bite and skin would come off. The ICU Physician said Resident #1 had a lot of underlying comorbidities and this incident amplified them.

He said he could have got the burns from being outside for an extended period of time, but that time period was different for everyone. He said Resident #1 has a right to go outside but the facility was responsible to ensure his choice to do so was safe. The MD said Resident #1's labs completed on 04/12/2024 were normal. He said a chest x-ray was completed on 04/09/2024 and had no issues noted.
