The documentation of the facility's effort to resolve resident grievances of medicine being left at bedside, not having their beds made, bedding not being changed on shower days, no snacks being provided, and the facility running out of toilet paper collected at Resident Council meetings on 02/01/2024, 03/21/2024, and 04/04/2024 were not made until between 05/07/2024 and 05/18/2024. This failure placed residents at risk of not having grievances addressed or provided a rational for facility decisions for issues identified in a timely manner.
Findings included: Record review of Resident Council Meeting Forms dated 02/01/2024, 03/21/2024, and 04/04/2024 indicated the group council voiced their beds were not being made, their linens were not being changed, they were not receiving snacks, and the facility was running out of toilet paper frequently. The AD signed the Resident Council meeting form on 02/21/2024. The DON responded to the resident council grievance on 05/07/2024 about the beds being made with the response. Ambassadors will make rounds. The dietary manager responded to the resident council grievance about snacks on 05/16/2024 with the response, things are very chaotic right now and we are doing the best we can. The housekeeping supervisor responded to the grievance about the toilet paper shortage on 05/08/2024 with the response, manager will in service staff on leaving a larger supply out to ensure toilet paper does not run out. During an interview on initial tour on 07/08/2024 between 6:20 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., 2 confidential residents voiced their bed was not made and they were not receiving snacks. These confidential residents stated they made these concerns known during resident council meetings in February, March, April, May, and June of 2024. During a confidential group interview on 07/09/2024 at 10:00 a.m., 7 of 7 confidential residents said they had experienced not having their beds made and linens changed, not getting snacks, and running out of toilet paper over the last 6 months. 7 of 7 residents said they were concerned they were not receiving prompt responses to the grievances they were making during resident council. During an interview on 07/10/2024 at 9:10 a.m., the Housekeeping Supervisor stated the facility discussed the issues voiced in the resident council in the morning meetings and resolutions were made

The Housekeeping Supervisor stated she thought AD K was going to relay the resolution to the residents, because that is who asked for the resolution in the morning meeting. The Housekeeping Supervisor stated she did an in service with her staff around mid-May to leave out extra toilet paper. She stated the in service was done verbally. During an interview on 07/10/2024 at 12:10 p.m., the Dietary Manager stated she was new and had only been in the facility for a couple weeks. She stated she met with the residents and introduced herself and asked about problems they were having with their food. She stated one of their concerns was snacks being available and she promptly addressed that by speaking with her staff and setting up snack times for 10 a.m., 2 p.m., and bedtime. The dietary staff was preparing trays of snacks and leaving them at the nurses' station for the nursing staff to distribute. She said this began around the 1st of July. Attempted to contact DM J (previous dietary manager) on 07/08/2024 at 11:20 a.m., 07/09/2024 at 2:15 p.m. and 07/10/2024 at 8:15 a.m., with no call back. During an interview on 07/10/2024 at 12:30 p.m., the DON stated she knew the policy for responding to grievances was 5 days. The DON stated she had been employed at the facility for about 3 weeks. The DON stated she was unsure why the previous DON had not responded to the resident council grievances for over 3 months. She stated not responding could make the resident's feel disrespected and could cause depression. Attempted to contact previous DON on 07/08/2024 at 10:20 a.m., 07/09/2024 at 4:15 a.m., and 07/10/2024 12:40 p.m. There was no response and no call back. During an interview on 07/10/2024 at 1:15 p.m., the AD stated she typed up the resident council minutes after each resident council meeting and presented a copy to each department head in the next morning meeting. She stated the DON, housekeeping supervisor and dietary manger were all present, along with the Administrator at these meetings. She stated she reminded the department heads that responses were needed to the resident council grievances daily during the morning meeting. She stated she did not receive responses for nearly 4 months on council meetings held at the first part of the year. She stated all at once the department heads handed in the same response to attach to multiple months resident council grievances. She stated the resident council was becoming frustrated because they felt they were being ignored. During an interview on 07/10/2024 at 2:09 p.m., the ADM stated he expected the grievances to be resolved in its entirety. The ADM said the grievance officer was the social worker, but each department would address the grievance in their area. The ADM stated he expected beds to be made, snacks to be served, toilet paper to be available to residents and staff, and the grievances be resolved within 5 business days. He stated he was not the ADM when the lack of attention occurred, but he would ensure they resident council did not feel ignored again. The ADM stated not responding to the resident council could leave the residents feeling like their voice does not matter in the facility, when their voice matters most. Record review of the Grievance Policy dated 2001, revealed the following: 1. The Administrator has assigned the responsibility of investigating grievances and complaints to the

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to complete a resident assessment within the required time frame for 3 of 15 residents (Resident 24, Resident 16, Resident #5) reviewed for quarterly assessments.
Residents Affected - Few Resident #24's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE], was not completed until 7/8/24. Resident #16's quarterly MDS dated [DATE], was not completed until 7/5/24. Resident #5's quarterly MDS dated [DATE], was not completed until 7/5/24. This failure placed residents at risk of not having their assessments completed timely which could result in not having their individually assessed needs met.
Findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #24's face sheet dated 01/27/24 indicated she was an [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #24 had diagnoses including Acute Kidney Failure (A condition in which the kidneys suddenly can't filter waste from the blood), Parkinson's Disease (A disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors), and Anemia (A problem of not having enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to carry oxygen to the body's tissues). Record review of Resident # 24's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #24 had a BIMS score of 00, which indicated severe cognitive impairment. Resident #24 was dependent on staff for assistance with ADLs. Record review of Resident #24's electronic medical record accessed on 07/08/24 at 9:20 a.m. revealed that Resident #24 did not have a quarterly MDS submitted as of 7/8/24. Resident #24's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] was submitted and therefore made available for review on 7/9/24 after the facility was made aware. 2.Record review of Resident #16's face sheet dated 07/09/24 indicated Resident #16 was an [AGE] year-old female, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #16 had diagnoses including stroke, aphasia ( a disorder that affects how one communicates usually occurring after a stroke), and heart failure. Record review of Resident #16's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #16 had a BIMS of 08, indicating moderately impaired cognition. Resident #16 required maximum assistance with ADLs. The MDS sections A-Q were signed as completed on 07/05/2024 by LVN E. The MDS was signed reviewed and complete by RN L on 05/20/2024. Record review of the CMS transmittal report dated 07/08/2024, indicated Resident #16's quarterly assessment that was due to be completed and transmitted no later than 06/04/2024, was not completed until 07/05/2024 and not transmitted until 07/08/2024. The MDS was accepted with the CMS Warning Record, submitted late. This submission date is more than 14 days after the Z0500B (date the RN signed the assessment is completed 05/20/2024) on this new assessment.

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that resident assessments accurately reflected the resident's status for 1 (Resident #13) of 12 residents reviewed for accuracy of resident assessments.
Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure that Resident #13's MDS 05/05/2024 quarterly assessment accurately reflected the resident's history of falls. This failure put residents at increased risk of staff not being aware of resident needs due to inaccurate assessments.
Findings included: Record review of Resident #13's face sheet dated 07/09/2024 revealed she was and 82-years-old female, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She had diagnoses of Parkinson's Disease (chronic and progressive movement disorder that initially causes tremor in one hand, stiffness or slowing of movement), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and depression. Record review of the quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #13 had a BIMS of 08, which indicated moderate cognitive impairment. The MDS also revealed Resident #13 required moderate assistance with ADLs and was on a mechanically altered diet. The MDS revealed no falls had occurred since the last quarterly assessment, 03/21/2024. Record review of Resident #13's Fall assessment dated [DATE] completed by LVN D, revealed she had a fall while in her room attempting to take herself to the restroom. Resident #13 was noted to be sitting on the floor at the foot of her bed with a small bump above her right ear. Record review of Resident #13's comprehensive care plan dated 06/13/2024, revealed Resident #13 had a fall related to cognitive impairment and poor balance with an intervention from 04/06/2024 to offer the resident assistance to the bathroom at the begin of each round. During an interview on 07/09/2024 at 12:06 p.m., the MDS Coordinator revealed it looked like they missed the fall referring to not including Resident #13's history of falls in the quarterly MDS. She stated any fall the resident had since the last assessment should have been coded on the MDS. She said the MDS was developed based on hospital documents, history and physicals, orders, and by looking at the first seven day after admission. The MDS Nurse said if a fall was documented in the hospital records or History and Physical it should be on the MDS. She said if the MDS was not accurate the care plan may not be accurate. The MDS Coordinator stated the information about Resident #13's falls was missed. She said missing the resident's risk of falls on the MDS could increase the risk of falls because it might not get onto the resident's care plan. During an interview on 07/10/2024, at 1:43 p.m., the DON revealed that to construct the MDS assessment they look at everything such as resident's diagnoses, medications from the hospital, and discussions with the resident. She said the MDS triggers things on the CAA that need to go on the care plan so if something is missed on the MDS it could be missed on the care plan. During an interview on 07/10/2024 at 1:55 p.m., the ADM revealed he expected all MDS assessments to be accurately coded and show a clear picture of the individual resident. He stated not having

During an interview and record review on 07/09/2024 at 9:02 a.m., CMA G stated she was aware of the duplicate orders for Resident #54. CMA G stated she contacted Unit Manager M on 06/15/2024 when she first noticed the duplication on the MAR for Resident #54. She stated Unit Manager M explained to her that the orders would appear duplicated on the MAR and she should administer the medications as on the MAR. CMA G stated the information had not seemed correct to her, but as a CMA the LVN had more knowledge on the medications and the system. CMA G stated when she worked, she continued to administer the medications as they appeared on the MAR for Resident #54. She stated she carefully took Resident #54's blood pressure prior to administering any blood pressure medications and held the medication the few times it was outside of parameters. CMA G showed this surveyor a text message from Unit Manager M confirming the directions to give the medications as ordered on the MAR. CMA G stated she had not reported the duplicate medications to anyone else because the Unit Manager M was her supervisor. During an interview and record review on 07/09/2024 at 9:10 a.m., CMA H stated she was giving Resident #54's medication as ordered on the MAR. She stated she had occasionally held the BP medication for Resident #54 if the blood pressure was out of parameters. She stated she told the ADON or the charge nurse if she had to hold the medication so they could call the MD to inform them. CMA H stated she had not noticed any change in Resident #54's behavior. She stated she was easily aroused when she was asleep and was up most of the day wheeling round the facility. During an observation on 07/09/2024 at 9:25 a.m., Resident #54 was up in a wheelchair attempting to self-propel. She was awake and alert with no signs of sedation or acute illness.

in some extreme cases. The DON stated Unit Manager M checked all newly written orders for Resident #54's hall. The DON stated Unit Manager M quit on 06/12/2024, two days prior to the duplicate orders being written for Resident #54. She stated the ADON that stated 07/01/2024 took over the responsibility of checking new orders. The DON stated the backup to ensure no duplicate orders occurred was the pharmacy consultant came monthly and reviewed all resident medication for duplicate therapy. The DON stated the last pharmacy review was 06/11/2024 (3 days prior to the orders being duplicated) and he was due back 07/11/2024 (3 days after the duplication was discovered). The DON stated the charge nurses would not be aware of the duplicate medication unless the CMA reported it to them because they did not review medications. During an interview on 07/09/2024 at 11:10 a.m., MD N stated he conducted a tele-med (over the internet) exam of Resident #54 on 07/08/2024 at 2:00 p.m. He stated after reviewing her vital signs and having the tele-med exam he felt there was no harm to the resident. He stated he carefully reviewed the medications she was receiving in duplicate. He stated metoprolol was a medication that controlled blood pressure as well as heart rate. He stated the normal range of daily dosage of metoprolol was from 50mg to 450 mg a day. He stated Resident #54 was not adversely affected by receiving 100mg and he knew this because he was called the 3 or 4 times when the medication aide held the blood pressure medication because Resident #54's blood pressure was outside of perimeters and they blood pressures reported were not alarmingly low. He stated the normal dosage of trazadone for a sleep aide was between 25 mg to 100mg at bedtime. He stated by Resident #54 receiving only 50mg at bedtime and tolerating it well with no side effects or sedative effects, she was not harmed by the medication. He continued by stating that it would take almost an entire bottle of vitamin D3 to have an amount that would cause harm. He stated the normal range of dosage for venlafaxine was between 37.5mg and 300mg per day. He stated Resident #54 had no sedation, no hallucinations, no constipation, and no loss of appetite, which were side effects of receiving too much. Pantoprazole was used in people that spent a great deal of time in the bed to prevent stomach ulcers and control acid reflux. He stated the standard dose was 40mg once to twice daily, and by not having a decrease in appetite he felt Resident #54 had not been adversely affected by pantoprazole. He stated MiraLAX was a medication to soften the stool to prevent constipation. He stated it was generally ordered once daily, but he saw no harm in her taking two caps of MiraLAX instead of one. He stated no episodes of continuous diarrhea had been reported to him. He stated he made some medication changes when he met with Resident #54 to ensure she would not be harmed by a prolonged use of higher doses of the medications. He stated he changed the MiraLAX to prn, he kept the metoprolol at 100mg and changed the frequency to daily, he changed pantoprazole to once daily and kept the venlafaxine at 150mg with a frequency of daily. The trazadone was changed to 50mg at bedtime and he was going to reassess her in one week to see if she was responding well to the decreased frequency of some of the medications. He stated he would continue to monitor Resident #54 and stated he could name 1000 potential adverse reactions to medications and Resident #54 was not suffering from any at this time. He stated he expected his orders to be followed and not duplicated because there is a potential for adverse reactions to high doses of some medications, but he felt the facility had a good system in place for monitoring for duplicate mediations by having the ADON or unit manager review them daily and the pharmacy consultant review them monthly. During an observation on 07/10/2024 at 8:15 a.m., Resident #54 was up in her wheelchair eating breakfast in the dining room. No sedation noted. Resident #54 had a good appetite and ate 75% of her breakfast. During an interview on 07/10/2024 at 2:07 p.m., the ADM said he expected nursing administration to handle review of all medications and ensure all residents were receiving the right medication and right dose. The ADM stated he was unaware until yesterday

when the DON informed him Resident #54 received duplicate medications. The ADM stated it was the ADON or unit manager's responsibility to review all medications and the DON was the one that checked behind them. Requested policy for Unnecessary Medications from DON on 07/09/2024 and 07/10/2024 and no policy was given prior to exit.

Record review of an Equipment facility policy last revised in 09/2017 indicated, .All foodservice equipment will be clean, sanitary, and in working order .All equipment will be routinely cleaned and maintained .All non-food contact equipment will be clean and free of debris . Record review of a Food Storage: Cold Foods facility policy last revised on 02/2023 indicated, .all foods will be stored wrapped or in covered containers, labeled and dated . Record review of a Food Storage: Dry Goods facility policy last revised on 02/2023 indicated, .All items will be stored on shelves at least 6 inches above the floor . Review of a 2022 Food Code for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration indicated, .Annex 4. Establish First-In-First Out (FIFO) Procedures. Product rotation is important for both quality and safety reasons. First-In-First-Out (FIFO) means that the first batch of product prepared and placed in storage should be the first one sold or used. Date marking food as required by the Food Code facilitates the use of a FIFO procedure in refrigerated, ready-to-eat, TCS (temperature control storage) foods. The FIFO concept limits the potential for pathogen growth, encourages product rotation, and documents compliance with time/temperature requirement .
