What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 2 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 Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. Based on interview, and record review the facility failed to consult with the physician when the resident experienced a change in condition for 1 of 1 resident (Residents #1) reviewed for a notification of a change of condition, in that; Residents Affected - Few LVN A did not assess Resident #1 or notify the Physician of Resident #1's change in condition on 12/15/23 when Resident # 1's family member came to LVN A with concerns about the resident's catheter being plugged and abnormal confusion. On 12/22/2023 at 4:31 p.m., an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was Identified. While the IJ was removed on 12/23/2023, the facility remained out of compliance at a severity of actual harm but with potential for more than minimal harm and with a scope isolated due to the facility continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their plan of removal. This deficient practice could place residents at risks of not having the physician contacted when they have a change of condition and it could result in delay of medical treatment and hospitalization. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 12/22/23, revealed a male resident with an admission date of 12/7/23 and diagnosis that included [Shortness of Breath] the frightening sensation of being unable to breathe normally or feeling suffocated, [Bladder Cancer] rare form of cancer that starts in the lining of your bladder, and [Severe Protein Calorie Malnutrition] significant muscle wasting, and loss of subcutaneous fat. Record review of Resident #1's admission MDS assessment, dated 12/13/2023, revealed no BIMS score as the Cognitive assessment was not completed with the resident. Further review revealed a staff assessment for mental status had been completed that revealed short-term and long-term memory problems. Memory/Recall ability indicated resident is unable to recall the current season, the location of their own room, staff names and faces, that the resident in a nursing home and noted resident's cognitive skills to be severely impaired. No behavior issues, such as refusal of care, were identified on the MDS. Further review revealed under section H that Resident # 1 was noted to have an indwelling catheter. Record review of Resident # 1's care plan dated 12/13/23 revealed a focus area for an indwelling catheter with interventions to flush and assess each shift.
