What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide care and services to prevent complications for 1 (Resident #58) of 2 resident reviewed for gastrostomy tubes (a surgically implanted tube into the stomach to provide delivery of nutrition). CNA-A paused the tube feeding pump, instead of informing the nurse immediately to turn off the pump for Resident #58, prior to lowering the head of bed (HOB). This failure could place residents with g-tubes at risk of complications such as aspiration, incorrect settings on the pump and delay in receiving feedings as physician ordered. Findings include: Record review of Resident #58's face sheet dated 06/25/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old first admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included multiple sclerosis (a chronic neurological disorder), muscle wasting, Dysphagia (swallowing disorder), Parkinsonism (a nervous system disorder), conversion disorder with seizures or convulsions (a mental health condition that causes physiological symptoms), anxiety, functional quadriplegia (inability to completely move) and gastrostomy status (a surgically implanted tube to allow provision of nutritional support). Record review of Resident #58's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed she had short term and long-term memory problems. She had severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. She had continuous behaviors of alerted level of consciousness. She required total assistance from staff for all ADLs. She required a feeding tube for nutritional support. Record review of Resident #58's June 2025 MARTAR revealed on 6/25/25, every shift, the HOB was elevated 30 - 45 degrees during enteral feeding. On 6/25/25 she received enteral feeding: Formula Jevity 1.5 at 42ml/hr for 22 hours via pump every shift. Record review of Resident #58's undated care plan revealed Problem - category Feeding Tube: Resident #58 receives Jevity 1.5 via g-tube at 50ml/hr x 22 hours, edited on 04/22/25. Goal - Resident #58 will remain free of complications related to G-tube, including aspiration/infection. Approach included: elevate HOB 30 - 45 degrees during feeding and one hour after. Observation and interview on 06/25/25 at 12:40 PM, Resident #58 was leaning over to her left side, head unsupported. The HOB was raised at least 45 degrees and TF pump was infusing Jevity 1.5 formula at 42 cc/hr into resident's g-tube. CNA-A stated 2 hours ago she had changed Resident #58's brief (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few and she was not leaning over in that position. CNA-A repositioned Resident #58 by centering her in the bed, then pressed the pause button on the tube feeding pump. CNA-A did not call for a nurse to assist with the tube feeding pump. CNA- A then lowered the HOB and took the wedge from the chair and positioned it underneath the left side of Resident #58's back. CNA-A raised the HOB and then turned the tube feeding pump back on. CNA-A stated she would get a pillow for Resident #58's head. When she was done with Resident #58, she walked out of the room and walked halfway down the hall to retrieve the meal cart. CNA-A did not notify the nurse about Resident #58. CNA-A stated she would notify the nurse about finding Resident #58 leaning over to one side. CNA-A stated it was her understanding that aides were allowed to pause the tube feeding pump when HOB is lowered to provide ADL care. CNA-A stated only the nurses were allowed to touch/pause the pump. CNA-A stated she paused the pump because sometimes the nurses were busy and could not come to pause the pump for her to complete ADL care tasks. In an interview on 6/25/25 at 12:55PM, LVN-B stated Resident #58 gets bowel rest between 8:00AM and 10:00AM, then she restarted the tube feeding. She stated Resident #58 was sitting upright at almost 90 degrees when she left her. LVN-B stated Resident #58 does move around and can end up leaning to either right or left side. LVN-B stated that only the nurses were allowed to pause the feeding pump and expected the CNAs to call her if they need the pump to be paused. LVN-B stated she believed it was the Board of Nursing policy that only nurses were allowed to touch the pump. LVN-B stated the CNAs were not trained to monitor a resident on tube feeding and they cannot assess residents. LVN-B stated the risks would be aspiration and if she had turned the pump off, she would also check the tubing for kinks. In an interview on 06/25/25 at 2:35PM, the DON stated she expected the CNAs to get the nurse for assistance when pausing the tube feeding pump is needed. The DON then stated she encourages the nursing staff to call for nurse assistance. The DON stated there were multiple risks if a CNA were to pause the pump without nurse assistance. The DON stated the CNAs do not know how to read the pump, settings could get readjusted, and a risk to the resident could be aspiration. The DON stated an in-service and demonstrations were conducted last month (May 2025) for all nursing staff which included do not touch the pump, for the CNAs.

These failures could affect residents who resided in the facility and the public by placing them at risk of exposure to germs, disease, and an environment which could attract pests and rodents.

During an interview on 6/24/25 at 9:37 AM, the Dietary Manager stated that the dumpster lids were to always remain closed to maintain pest control. She stated it had been the responsibility of all staff that use the dumpster to close the lid after placing garbage inside.
