facility;
(ii) The reserve bed payment policy in the state
plan, under § 447.40 of this chapter, if any;
(iii) The nursing facility’s policies regarding bedhold periods, which must be consistent with
paragraph (c)(5) of this section, permitting a
resident to return; and
(iv) The information specified in paragraph (c)
(5) of this section.
(2) Bed-hold notice upon transfer. At the time
of transfer of a resident for hospitalization or
therapeutic leave, a nursing facility must
provide to the resident and the resident
representative written notice which specifies
the duration of the bed-hold policy described in
paragraph (e)(1) of this section.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to provide a written bed-hold
notification for one of 19 sampled residents
(Resident 16). This deficient practice had the
potential for the resident and/or the legal
representative not to be fully aware of the
availability and duration of the bed-hold at the
time of transfer.
Findings:
A review of the Admission face sheet indicated
Resident 16 was admitted to the facility on
2/12/17, with diagnoses of pulmonary fibrosis
(condition in which the tissue deep in your
lungs becomes scarred over time) and
weakness. Resident 16 was transferred to the
acute general hospital on 2/19/17.

A review of the facility form titled, "Discharge
Summary," indicated Resident 16 was
transferred to the acute care hospital on
2/19/17 for respiratory distress.
On 5/21/17 at 10:15 a.m., during a concurrent
record review and interview with the Medical
Records Director (MR Director), stated there
was no form or documentation for Bed-Hold
Notification in Resident 16's clinical record. The
MR Director stated the admission packet which
contained the Bed-Hold Notification form was
not in Resident 16's clinical record. This was
the reason why it was not completed by the
licensed nurse.
A review of the facility's form titled, "Bed-Hold
Acknowledgement," indicated the form was to
be completed upon discharge. The form also
indicated that the resident or legal
representative has been notified of the option
of having the bed held for a maximum of seven
days after transfer to an acute hospital. Further
review of the form, indicated the resident/legal
representative had a choice to not hold a bed
or hold bed for ___ (blank to indicate desire
number of days for hold) days.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure
titled, "Transfer or Discharge Documentation,"
dated 8/2014, indicated that when a resident is
transferred or discharged, a documentation
concerning all transfers must include that an
appropriate notice was provided to the resident
and/or representative.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to immediately report
(within 24 hours) an injury of unknown source
to the State survey and certification agency for
1 of 19 sampled residents (Resident 11). This
deficient practice had the potential to put
Resident 11's safety at risk.
Findings:
A review of Resident 11's profile face sheet
indicated Resident 11 was admitted to the
facility on 1/9/2014, with diagnoses that
included cerebral infarction (brain injury
resulting from decreased blood supply and
oxygen), hypertension (chronic elevated blood
pressure), Alzheimer's disease (brain disorder
that is characterized by long term and gradual
decrease in the ability to think and remember)
and hyperlipidemia (elevated fats in the blood).

elbow, wrist, hand).
A review of Resident 11"s "Licensed Nurses
Progress Notes" dated 5/12/17, indicated
Resident 11 complained of left shoulder pain.
Indentation was noted on the left anterior
shoulder which was tender (painful) to touch,
and the resident was unable to move the left
upper extremity. The attending physician was
notified and ordered a Stat (immediate) x-ray
(photo image to check for abnormalities of
bone and soft tissue) of the left shoulder.

indicated to transfer Resident 11 to the General
Acute Care Hospital (GACH) for evaluation of
the left shoulder dislocation.
A review of Resident 11's GACH notes titled,

osteoporosis and stiff shoulders, and the left
shoulder dislocation could have been due to
osteoporosis and stiff shoulders. The DON also
stated that she did not report the injury of
unknown source to state licensing and
certification agency. The DON further stated
that she will report Resident 11's injury of
unknown source to the State now.
During an interview with the Administrator on
5/20/17 at 10:00 a.m., the Administrator stated
she did not file a report about Resident 11"s
injury of unknown source, because she was
focused on the result of the x-ray showing no
fracture.

RN's live scan result was not on file. The DSD
stated that the results of the live scan should
be checked prior to the employment of a RN.
On 5/20/17 at 4:10 p.m., during an interview,
the administrator stated the facility has not
received the RN's live scan results and should
not have allowed the RN to start prior to
receiving the live scan results.

(a)(1) A facility must treat and care for each
resident in a manner and in an environment
that promotes maintenance or enhancement of
his or her quality of life recognizing each
resident’s individuality. The facility must protect
and promote the rights of the resident.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to provide care in a
manner and in an environment that maintains
the resident's dignity. Registered nurse (RN1)
was observed standing while feeding two
residents.
Findings:
On 5/19/17 at 5:25 p.m., during dinner
observation, RN1 was observed standing while
feeding two residents with soup.
On 5/19/17 at 5:35p.m., an interview was
conducted with RN1 who stated she should
have sat down while feeding the residents. The
licensed staff stated feeding residents while
sitting allows more time for the residents to feel
relaxed and not rushed during feeding. The
licensed staff also stated there was no chair
available for her to use.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure
titled "Assistance with Meals" revised on
September 2013 indicated residents who
cannot feed themselves will be fed with
attention to safety, comfort and dignity, for
example: (1) Not standing over residents while
assisting them with meals.

have a family who could have signed the
inventory list, but the facility should not have
left it blank, but should have documented that
Resident 14's belongings were kept in the
facility in case a family member shows up at a
later time. The DON stated that it was the
nursing staff's responsibility to complete the
inventory list upon admission and discharge
and the Social Service Director (SSD) should
have ensured its completion.

new ulcers from developing.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to provide the
necessary treatment and services to promote
healing and prevent new ulcers from
developing for two of four residents (Residents
10 and 17), who were at high risk for
developing pressure ulcer, in a total sample of
19 residents.
a. For Resident 10, left heel was not off-loaded
(elevated to relieve pressure) and was
observed to be resting on the footrest of the
wheelchair.
b. For Resident 17, a stage 2 pressure ulcer on
the left inner buttock was observed with no
current treatment order and bilateral heel
protectors were not applied as ordered.
These deficient practices had the potential to
result in worsening of existing pressure ulcers
and the development of new pressure ulcers.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 10's profile face sheet
indicated Resident 10 was admitted to the
facility on 2/11/17 with diagnoses that included
dementia (brain disorder that is characterized
by long term and gradual decrease in the ability
to think and remember), anxiety disorder (a
mental disorder emotion characterized by an
unpleasant state of inner uncertainty and fear),
