F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 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 interview and record review, the facility failed to immediately consult with the resident's physician and notify the resident's representative(s) when there was a significant change in the resident's physical status for 1 (Resident #1) of 5 residents reviewed for changes in condition, in that: The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's RP(s) were notified that Resident #1 had suffered a fall on 06/29/23; the facility failed to notify Resident #1's RP(s) and physician that he had missed a dermatologist appointment on 07/26/23 at 2:00 pm due to Resident #1 not being ready for transport on time The facility further failed to inform Resident #1's RP that he had an allergic reaction to Valtrex, despite the allergy being added to Resident #1's profile on 08/04/23. As a result of the facility's failures Resident #1 suffered continuous pain, itching and discomfort for 3 months, and other residents, visitors and staff were exposed to scabies. This failure caused actual harm to 1 resident and placed all residents in the facility at risk for physical harm and severe negative psychosocial outcomes which could prevent them from achieving their highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's undated face sheet, printed on 08/25/23, revealed that he was a [AGE] year-old male first admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included unspecified dementia, need for assistance with personal care, type II diabetes, heart failure, and COPD (lung disease that makes it difficult to get oxygen to the body). It further revealed he has an allergy to valtrex. Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS of 11, which indicated moderate cognitive impairment, he was marked as requiring extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene. It further revealed that Resident #1 required walker and wheelchair normally. It further revealed that he was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. No skin conditions were marked. Record review of Resident #1's undated care plan revealed a focus of risk of frequent infections with an intervention of monitoring for skin changes, circulatory problems, or breakdown and to report to RP and MD, this was initiated on 06/13/23. It further revealed that Resident #1 was at risk for increased confusion and decreased ADLs due to the diagnosis of dementia and had an intervention of assisting the resident with ADLs as needed and verbal reminders to assist with daily orientation, (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 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm these were initiated on 06/13/23. It also revealed that Resident #1 had a potential for skin breakdown related to incontinence and the intervention was body/skin audit at least weekly and to document preventative and treatment measures and descriptions of lesions as required by facility policy, and these were initiated on 06/13/23. Record review revealed no documentation of scabies, rash, or itching in the care plan for Resident #1. Residents Affected - Few Record review of the 05/03/23 facility 24-hr report revealed that Resident #1 had a rash and itching. Record review of Resident #1's unwitnessed fall report dated 06/29/23 at 10:00 am revealed Resident #1 had an unwitnessed fall without injury and contributing factors that were documented included recent readmission and decline in ADLs due to recent hospitalization for pneumonia. The report further revealed that RP #2 was notified at 10:13 am (which he denied). Record review of the 07/25/23 facility 24-hr report revealed that Resident #1 had a dermatology appointment on 07/26/23 at 2:00 pm. Record review of the 07/26/23 facility 24-hr report revealed that Resident #1's dermatology appointment was rescheduled. It further revealed that after the rescheduling, RP #2 was contacted on 07/26/23 (same date, after missed appointment) and informed Resident #1 needed underwear and t-shirts. Record review of the 24-hour report did not reflect RP #2 was notified of Resident #2 missing the dermatology appointment. Record review of progress notes showed no progress note on 07/26/23 explaining missed appointment with dermatology nor a rescheduled appointment on that date. Further review revealed no notification to RP #2 that Resident #1 missed his dermatology appointment. Further review of the progress notes revealed on 08/01/23 that valtrex order was received. On a progress noted dated 08/04/23 at 6:58 pm it states the doctor gave an order to discontinue valtrex due to possible allergy. There is no progress note stating that RP #2 was notified of this change. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 11:48 am with RP #1 she stated that Resident #1 had a rash that she was told was bed bugs that was identified on 05/03/23 by RP #2 during a visit. She stated that she and RP #2 found out 08/21/23 that Resident #1 had scabies and was being treated. She stated neither she nor RP #2 were notified that Resident #1 had a dermatology appointment on 07/26/23, nor that he had missed that appointment. RP #1 stated neither she nor RP #2 was informed that Resident #1 had a fall on 06/29/23. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 1:10 pm MD phone number was called and answering service stated that MD would be paged with surveyor's number. No return call was received.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 08/25/23 at 2:00 pm with ADM and DON (on phone) DON stated that Resident #1 was more than 15 minutes late to his 07/26/23 2:00 pm dermatology appointment and he would not be seen, so it was rescheduled for 08/21/23. ADM stated that Resident #1 was not ready in time for transport to drive him to the appointment on time. Neither ADM nor DON knew if notification was done. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 3:35 pm with NP she stated that she asked the wound care doctor to see the resident and then ordered a dermatology consult so there would be one physician seeing the resident in person to perform the assessment and order treatment. She said the facility would not communicate with her after a course of treatment that she had ordered for Resident #1's skin eruption and so she assumed that meant the treatment was effective. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 4:08 pm with Wound Care nurse and DON (on phone) Wound Care nurse stated Resident #1 did not have shingles, they just could not rule it out so, Valtrex was started and RP was notified about the Valtrex being stopped due to diarrhea. She further stated that Resident #1 was not ready on time on 07/26/23 at 2:00 pm and that the surveyor could not blame the facility for that. Further interviews with Wound Care nurse were attempted and she became resistant to contact and no further information could be obtained. During an observation and interview with Resident #1 on 08/25/23 at 4:50 pm, Resident #1 said the itching was terrible and causing him pain. He said the facility gave a cream yesterday, but it wasn't helping. Resident #1 was observed to have bright red bumps on his arms, trunk and legs; these red marks were all over his body with fresh scratch marks and bleeding from the scratching. Resident #1 was scratching as surveyor entered. He looked uncomfortable as he continued to scratch and squirm while lying in his bed. The red marks were various stages of healing with some appearing freshly excoriated (scratching that damages the skin and leaves marks) and inflamed with small amounts of blood. While Resident #1 has a BIMS of 11, indicating moderate cognitive impairment, he was unable to answer questions related to how long he had the rash or what had occurred recently. He was able to discuss the current day. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 6:30 pm with RP #2 he stated that he was visiting Resident #1 on 05/03/23 at 1:00 pm and noticed red lesions spread across Resident #1's chest and both arms; Resident #1 was scratching his arms and chest and there was dry blood on his clothing and sheets. RP #2 informed one nurse (unknown name) and discussed with ADON A. He stated that the unknown nurse thought it was scabies or bed bugs and called the doctor and the doctor ordered Benadryl for 4 days, prednisone for 5 days, and 1% hydrocortisone cream for 7 days. RP #2 stated he was notified via phone call on 06/19/23 that Resident #1 was started on Medrol, a steroid pack. RP #2 stated he was not informed of dermatologist appointment scheduled 07/26/23 nor that it was missed, but the facility told him on 07/26/23 at 7:00 pm that Resident #1 needed clothing and RP #2 ordered items that were delivered to meet that need. RP #2 was informed on 08/21/23 that the dermatologist had diagnosed Resident #1 with scabies and treatment was started, but only after the appointment. He was not informed that Resident #1 was allergic to Valtrex nor that the allergy was added to Resident #1's chart. RP #2 stated he was not informed that Resident #1 had a fall on 06/29/23. RP #2 stated he was contacted by the hospital when Resident #1 was hospitalized and filled out forms with medical history for Resident #1, so it concerned him that he was not informed of Resident #1's allergy to Valtrex so he could accurately provide medical information. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 8:07 pm with ADM he stated RP was not notified of Resident #1's Valtrex allergy and neither were any listed emergency contacts for Resident #1.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 08/25/23 at 1:10 pm MD phone number was called and answering service stated that MD would be paged with surveyor's number. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 1:15 pm ADM stated that MD was out of the country and would not respond to page. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 1:26 pm with Wound Care nurse she stated that Resident #1 was sent to the hospital for respiratory problems and then went to another facility before transferring back to this facility. She stated the resident came back with scabies or some kind of rash that he got at the other facility. Only when reminded that the resident had a rash before going to the hospital and a different facility (05/24/23-06/12/23) did the Wound Care nurse state the rash was not bad before he went to the hospital. Resident #1's rash was only concerning after Resident #1 returned from his hospitalization. She stated the wound care doctor came to see Resident #1 on 06/20/23 and put in an order for the resident to see a dermatologist; his appointment was scheduled 07/26/23 at 2:00 pm and transport was informed. She stated the doctor could not rule out scabies and nor could shingles be ruled out. The resident was started on Valtrex (an antiviral medication used for treatment of herpes virus, shingles most commonly in nursing facilities), was not isolated, and Valtrex was discontinued due to allergy (diarrhea). During an interview on 08/25/23 at 2:00 pm with ADM and DON (on phone) DON stated that Resident #1 was more than 15 minutes late to his 07/26/23 2:00 pm dermatology appointment and he would not be seen, so it was rescheduled for 08/21/23. ADM stated that Resident #1 was not ready in time for transport to drive him to the appointment on time. DON stated that Resident #1 was not isolated for the disseminated rash because they were not certain the cause of the rash. ADM stated he thought the roommate (Resident #2) of Resident #1 had brought something in with him, and that is what RP #2 was told, but ADM stated he was mistaken, the roommate never had rash symptoms. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 3:35 pm with NP she stated that she was currently working remotely and that when she was notified of the rash the nurses would describe the rash as best they could. She stated that some nurses were not comfortable taking a photograph and sending it to her; she said she and MD would get different reports and initiate different treatments and so they asked the wound care doctor to see the resident and then ordered a dermatology consult so there would be one physician seeing the resident in person to perform the assessment and order treatment. She said the facility would not communicate with her after a course of treatment that she had ordered for Resident #1's skin eruption and so she assumed that meant the treatment was effective. She stated that she was not informed that Resident #1 was not ready in time for his dermatology appointment and that was unacceptable. She stated she orders airborne precautions if shingles was suspected as a standard. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 4:08 pm with Wound Care nurse and DON (on phone) Wound Care nurse stated Resident #1 did not have shingles, they just could not rule it out so Valtrex was started. She further stated that Resident #1 was not ready on time on 07/26/23 at 2:00 pm and that the surveyor could not blame the facility for that. DON stated scabies treatment was started for Resident #1 after his dermatology appointment on 08/21/23 and prophylactic (preventative) treatment was ordered for Resident #2 (roommate) as well. DON stated Resident #1 was isolated for 3 days after the dermatologist diagnosed scabies and initiated treatment. Further interviews with Wound Care nurse were attempted and she became resistant to contact and no further information could be obtained. Attempts to interview Wound Care nurse about the late and missing skin assessments were not productive.

He said the facility gave a cream yesterday, but it wasn't helping. Resident #1 was observed to have bright red bumps on his arms, trunk and legs; these red marks were all over his body with fresh scratch marks and bleeding from the scratching. Resident #1 was scratching as surveyor entered. He looked uncomfortable as he continued to scratch and squirm while lying in his bed. The red marks were various stages of healing with some appearing freshly excoriated (scratching that damages the skin and leaves marks) and inflamed with small amounts of blood. While Resident #1 has a BIMS of 11, indicating moderate cognitive impairment, he was unable to answer questions related to how long he had the rash or what had occurred recently. He was able to discuss the current day. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 6:30 pm with RP #2 he stated that he was visiting Resident #1 on 05/03/23 at 1:00 pm and noticed red lesions spread across Resident #1's chest and both arms; Resident #1 was scratching his arms and chest and there was dry blood on his clothing and sheets. RP #2 informed one nurse (unknown name) and discussed with ADON A. He stated that the unknown nurse thought it was scabies or bed bugs and called the doctor and the doctor ordered Benadryl for 4 days, prednisone for 5 days, and 1% hydrocortisone cream for 7 days. On 06/18/23 RP #2 visited again and noted Resident #1 was scratching his arms and chest again and he informed LVN B who went and got and applied a cortisone cream. RP #2 stated he also informed Wound Care nurse that he was concerned about Resident #1's scratching. RP #2 stated he was notified via phone call on 06/19/23 that Resident #1 was started on Medrol, a steroid pack. RP #2 stated he was not informed of dermatologist appointment scheduled 07/26/23 nor that it was missed, but the facility told him Resident #1 needed clothing and RP #2 ordered items that were delivered to meet that need. RP #2 was informed on 08/21/23 that the dermatologist had diagnosed Resident #1 with scabies and treatment was started, but only after the appointment. He was not informed that Resident #1 was allergic to Valtrex nor that the allergy was added to Resident #1's chart. Record review of photos provided by RP #2 revealed on 05/03/23 between 1:00 pm and 1:30 pm 3 photos were taken that revealed Resident #1 lying in his bed with red lesions disseminated across both arms and his trunk. They further revealed drops of dried blood on Resident #1's clothing. Record review of a video provided by RP #2 dated 06/18/23 at 1:15 pm and showed Resident #1 laying in his bed with red lesions on his arms and scratching his arms and chest. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 8:07 pm with ADM he stated RP was not notified of Resident #1's Valtrex allergy and neither were any listed emergency contacts for Resident #1. On 08/25/23 at 8:20 pm the ADM was informed an immediate jeopardy for neglect was identified, and the IJ template was provided to the ADM. During an interview on 08/26/23 at 10:24 am with DON she stated that all residents have weekly skin assessments conducted by Wound Care nurse and additional assessments are done if other staff identify an issue. She stated Resident #2 did not have similar skin issues. During an interview and observation on 08/26/23 at 12:20 pm with Resident #1 he said his skin felt better and staff spent 30 minutes applying creams and medications; he said he felt better and had no pain. He was sitting in bed with head of bed elevated to approximately 35 degrees, there was food on his tray on his over-bed table, and his skin was less red and inflamed. He looked more relaxed and there was no blood visible. He only scratched one time for a moment on his upper right chest.

Record review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website indicated Scabies can spread easily under crowded conditions where close body and skin contact is common. Institutions such as nursing homes, extended-care facilities, and prisons are often sites of scabies outbreaks. The most common symptoms of scabies are intense itching and a pimple-like skin rash. The intense itching of scabies leads to scratching that can lead to skin sores which can become infected.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few would ask if he wanted to take a shower and if he said no they would document he refused and not make further efforts. She also stated that if the staff would ask Resident #1 what time would he like his shower, for example at 3:00 pm or 4:00 pm that he would select a time and comply. She stated that when she visited Resident #1 he was often unkempt and that she would do her best to trim his hair and shave his face to make sure he was comfortable. RP #1 stated she had never been invited to a care plan meeting, and nor had RP #2, or she would have discussed the shower and grooming concerns with staff and recommended interventions that would be effective for Resident #1's compliance with sanitary and grooming needs. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 1:10 pm MD phone number was called and answering service stated that MD would be paged with surveyor's number. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 1:15 pm ADM stated that MD was out of the country and would not respond to page. ADM provided instruction sheet that showed coverage while MD was out of country, which included contacting NP and in emergency other physicians via after-hours answering service. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 1:26 pm with Wound Care nurse she stated that Resident #1 was sent to the hospital for respiratory problems and then went to another facility before transferring back to this facility. She stated the resident came back with scabies or some kind of rash that he got at the other facility. Only when reminded that the resident had a rash before going to the hospital and a different facility (05/24/23-06/12/23) did the Wound Care nurse state the rash was not bad before he went to the hospital. Resident #1's rash was only concerning after Resident #1 returned from his hospitalization. She stated the wound care doctor came to see Resident #1 on 06/20/23 and put in an order for the resident to see a dermatologist; his appointment was scheduled 07/26/23 at 2:00 pm and transport was informed. She stated the doctor could not rule out scabies and nor could shingles be ruled out. The resident was started on Valtrex (an antiviral medication used for treatment of herpes virus, shingles most commonly in nursing facilities), was not isolated, and Valtrex was discontinued due to allergy (diarrhea). During an interview on 08/25/23 at 2:00 pm with ADM and DON (on phone) DON stated that Resident #1 was more than 15 minutes late to his 07/26/23 2:00 pm dermatology appointment and he would not be seen, so it was rescheduled for 08/21/23. ADM stated that Resident #1 was not ready in time for transport to drive him to the appointment on time. DON stated that Resident #1 was not isolated for the disseminated rash because they were not certain the cause of the rash. ADM stated he thought the roommate (Resident #2) of Resident #1 had brought something in with him, and that is what RP #2 was told, but ADM stated he was mistaken, the roommate never had rash symptoms. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 3:35 pm with NP she stated that she was currently working remotely and that when she was notified of the rash the nurses would describe the rash as best they could. She stated that some nurses were not comfortable taking a photograph and sending it to her; she said she and MD would get different reports and initiate different treatments and so they asked the wound care doctor to see the resident and then ordered a dermatology consult so there would be one physician seeing the resident in person to perform the assessment and order treatment. She said the facility would not communicate with her after a course of treatment that she had ordered for Resident #1's skin eruption and so she assumed that meant the treatment was effective. She stated that she was not informed that Resident #1 was not ready in time for his dermatology appointment and that was unacceptable. She stated she orders airborne precautions if shingles was suspected as a standard.

She further stated that Resident #1 was not ready on time on 07/26/23 at 2:00 pm and that the surveyor could not blame the facility for that. DON stated scabies treatment was started for Resident #1 after his dermatology appointment on 08/21/23 and prophylactic (preventative) treatment was ordered for Resident #2 (roommate) as well. DON stated Resident #1 was isolated for 3 days after the dermatologist diagnosed scabies and initiated treatment. Further interviews with Wound Care nurse were attempted and she became resistant to contact and no further information could be obtained. Attempts to interview Wound Care nurse about the late and missing skin assessments were not productive. During an observation and interview with Resident #1 on 08/25/23 at 4:50 pm, Resident #1 said the itching was terrible and causing him pain. He said the facility gave a cream yesterday, but it wasn't helping. Resident #1 was observed to have bright red bumps on his arms, trunk and legs; these red marks were all over his body with fresh scratch marks and bleeding from the scratching. Resident #1 was scratching as surveyor entered. He looked uncomfortable as he continued to scratch and squirm while lying in his bed. The red marks were various stages of healing with some appearing freshly excoriated (scratching that damages the skin and leaves marks) and inflamed with small amounts of blood. While Resident #1 has a BIMS of 11, indicating moderate cognitive impairment, he was unable to answer questions related to how long he had the rash or what had occurred recently. He was able to discuss the current day. During an interview on 08/25/23 at 6:30 pm with RP #2 he stated that he was visiting Resident #1 on 05/03/23 at 1:00 pm and noticed red lesions spread across Resident #1's chest and both arms; Resident #1 was scratching his arms and chest and there was dry blood on his clothing and sheets. RP #2 informed one nurse (unknown name) and discussed with ADON A. He stated that the unknown nurse thought it was scabies or bed bugs and called the doctor and the doctor ordered Benadryl for 4 days, prednisone for 5 days, and 1% hydrocortisone cream for 7 days. On 06/18/23 RP #2 visited again and noted Resident #1 was scratching his arms and chest again and he informed LVN B who went and got and applied a cortisone cream. RP #2 stated he also informed Wound Care nurse that he was concerned about Resident #1's scratching. RP #2 stated he was notified via phone call on 06/19/23 that Resident #1 was started on Medrol, a steroid pack. RP #2 stated he was not informed of dermatologist appointment scheduled 07/26/23 nor that it was missed, but the facility told him Resident #1 needed clothing and RP #2 ordered items that were delivered to meet that need. RP #2 was informed on 08/21/23 that the dermatologist had diagnosed Resident #1 with scabies and treatment was started, but only after the appointment. He was not informed that Resident #1 was allergic to Valtrex nor that the allergy was added to Resident #1's chart. RP #2 stated that he was not informed of the care plan meeting on 07/13/23 for Resident #1, and nor was RP #1 or they would have participated; he also stated he had never been informed of any care plan meetings. Record review of photos provided by RP #2 revealed on 05/03/23 between 1:00 pm and 1:30 pm 3 photos were taken that revealed Resident #1 lying in his bed with red lesions disseminated across both arms and his trunk.
