This survey cited 6 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0677 Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide the necessary services for residents who are unable to carry out activities of daily living to maintain good grooming and personal hygiene for one (Resident #29) of eight residents reviewed for ADLs. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure Resident #29 had her fingernails cleaned and trimmed. These failures could place residents who were dependent on staff for ADL care at risk for infections, and a decreased quality of life. Findings include: Record review of Resident #29's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 11/17/23, reflected an [AGE] year-old female with an admission date of 12/18/21. Resident #29 was unable to respond to the interview for mental status. Staff assessment listed her as moderately cognitively impaired. Resident #29 was dependent on staff for all ADLs. Resident #29 had active diagnoses which included heart failure, cerebral vascular accident (stroke) hemiplegia (partial paralysis on one side of the body) and aphasia (language disorder), and she received 51% or more of total calories through a feeding tube (a tube inserted through the abdomen that delivers nutrition directly to the stomach). Record review of Resident #29's care plan revised on 05/25/22 reflected, .[Resident #29] have an ADL Self Care performance deficit related to cerebral vascular accident with right sided hemiplegia (paralysis) .Interventions .[Resident #29 requires total assistance with personal hygiene care .

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 treatment and services to prevent complications of enteral feeding for two (Residents #29 and Resident #59) of two residents reviewed for feeding tubes. 1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #29's G-tube was flushed with 15-30 ml's water after medication administration and failed to flush between each medication with 15 ml's of water per facility policy. 2. The facility failed to have orders for Resident #29 and Resident #59 for the required amount of water flushes before and after medication administration and between each medication given via the G-tube. These failures could place residents at risk of medication incompatibility and tube obstruction. Findings include: 1. Record review of Resident #29's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 11/17/23, reflected an [AGE] year-old female with an admission date of 12/18/21. Resident #29 was unable to respond to the interview for mental status. Staff assessment listed her as moderately cognitively impaired. Resident #29 had active diagnoses which included heart failure, cerebral vascular accident (stroke) hemiplegia (partial paralysis on one side of the body) and aphasia (language disorder), and she received 51% or more of total calories through a feeding tube (a tube inserted through the abdomen that delivers nutrition directly to the stomach). Record review of Resident #29's Physician orders report dated 01/31/24 reflected, .Medications to be given via PEG tube with a start date of 07/30/23. There were no orders for water flushes prior to, between each medication and after administration of medication.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Amoxicillin capsule and placed it in a plastic cup and then crushed each tablet and placed each of them in separate cups and entered the resident's room. RN B then filled a plastic cup with water from the bathroom sink and poured approximately 20 ccs of water into each medication cup. She then retrieved a 60-cc piston syringe and placed the feeding pump on hold. She disconnected the feeding tube from the G-tube and placed the piston syringe into the G-tube connector and checked for residual and flushed the G-tube with 30 cc's of water. RN B then administered each medication by gravity. RN B did not flush with clear water between each medication or after the final medication administration. RN B then reconnected the feeding tube and turned the pump back on. RN B removed gloves and performed hand hygiene. In an interview with RN B on 01/31/24 at 08:20 AM stated she had reviewed with the DON prior to doing the medication pass and was told to dilute the medications with 20 cc of water and flush with 30 cc before and after and none in between. RN B pulled up the physician orders and reviewed and stated it did not indicate how much to dilute medications with or how much to flush with in between. She stated it was important to flush before and after to prevent the tube from clogging. She stated she assumed the 20 ccs to dilute the medications was sufficient. 2. Record review of Resident #59's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 01/04/24, reflected a [AGE] year-old female with an admission date of 04/21/21. Resident #59 was unable to respond to the interview for mental status and staff had not completed the mental assessment. Resident #59 had active diagnoses which included cerebral vascular accident (stroke) hemiplegia (partial paralysis on one side of the body) and aphasia (language disorder), and she received 51% or more of total calories through a feeding tube (a tube inserted through the abdomen that delivers nutrition directly to the stomach).

Record review of Resident #59's Medication administration record for January 2024 did not indicate how much water to flush the g-tube with prior to, between each medication and after medication administration. In an interview the DON on 01/31/24 at 09:20 a.m. she stated she had instructed the staff to dilute G-tube medications with 20 cc of water and flush with 30 cc before and after. She stated she was the one who had told them not to flush with water in between, since they were using 20 cc to dilute the medication with. She stated they had batch orders the nurses clicked on when putting in G-Tube medication orders. She stated who ever put in the order was responsible for ensuring the orders for flushing before and after were on the orders as well as how much to dilute the medication with. She stated the batch orders would be the facility's routine orders unless the pharmacist or the physician requested something different. The DON then pulled up the batch orders and stated the batch orders were to dilute medications with 15 ml, flush with 15 ml between each medication and flush with 30 cc before and after medications. She stated she had instructed the staff incorrectly and stated she would re-educate everyone and get the orders up to date. She stated failing to flush between medications could potentially cause the g-tube to occlude.

Residents Affected - Some 1. LVN C failed to perform hand hygiene after providing an Insulin injection to Resident #70. 2. LVN D failed to prevent cross contamination of a bottle test strips used to obtain glucose levels when she carried the bottle into Resident #80's room and returned it to the top of the medication cart. 3. LVN D failed to prevent cross contamination when she opened the bottle of test strips previously carried into Resident #80's room and retrieved test strips to obtain the blood sugar readings for Resident # 9. 4. RN A failed to prevent cross contamination of a bottle test strips used to obtain glucose levels when she carried the bottle into Resident #65's room and returned it to the medication cart. RN A failed to perform hand hygiene after removal of her gloves after completion of obtaining a fingerstick blood sugar test on Resident #65. 5.
