participation of the resident and their resident
representative is determined not practicable for
the development of the resident's care plan.
(F) Other appropriate staff or professionals in
disciplines as determined by the resident's
needs or as requested by the resident.
(iii)Reviewed and revised by the
interdisciplinary team after each assessment,
including both the comprehensive and quarterly
review assessments.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to modify the care plan for one of
two sampled residents (Resident 1) to address
the need for supervision during smoking, as
indicated on the smoking assessment.
This failure had the potential for the resident
not to receive specific intervention, which could
result to a fall and cause injury to the Resident.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's Admission Record
indicated the facility readmitted the resident on
11/6/17. Resident 1's diagnoses included
displaced fracture of greater tuberosity of left
humerus (break in the long bone of the upper
arm), displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the
left femur (break in the thigh bone), fall from
non-moving wheelchair, history of falling,
generalized muscle weakness, Alzheimer's
disease (a slowly progressive disease of the
brain characterized by symptoms like
impairment of memory and disturbances in
reasoning, planning, language, and
perception), and chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (lung disease marked by permanent
damage to tissues in the lungs which makes
breathing difficult).

A review Resident's of the Minimum Data Set
(MDS, a standardized assessment and carescreening tool), dated 7/9/19, indicated
Resident 1's brief interview of mental status
(BIMS, screening which aids in detecting
cognitive [ability to process information]
impairment) score was 10 (a score of eight to
12 reflected moderate impairment). The MDS
indicated Resident 1 required supervision
(oversight, encouragement or cueing) for bed
mobility, transferring (how resident moves
between surfaces including to or from: bed,
chair, wheelchair, standing position), walking,
and locomotion (how resident moves between
locations). Resident 1 required limited
assistance (resident highly involved in activity;
staff provided guided maneuvering of limbs or
other non-weight bearing assistance) with
dressing and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 1's Smoking Assessment,
dated 7/9/19, indicated Resident 1 was
determined as not cognitively alert and does
not exhibit independent judgment to maintain
own smoking and/or lighting materials.
Resident 1 required supervision while
smoking/and or using lighting materials.
A review of Resident 1's care plan, titled
"Resident at Risk for Injury Due to Parkinson's
Disease/Alzheimer's," initiated 7/24/18,
indicated Resident 1 is a smoker and noncompliant on the smoking schedule. Staff
interventions included were to explain to
resident the risk of non-complying on
scheduled smoking time, smoking risks,
hazards and available smoking cessation aids,
instruct resident about the facility policy on
smoking including locations, times, safety
concerns, and to notify Charge Nurse
immediately if suspected resident has violated
facility smoking policy. Other interventions

preference and to respect resident's wishes

During a concurrent record review and
telephone interview with DON on 3/27/20 at
4:10 p.m., she stated Resident 1's care plan
interventions addressing Resident 1's smoking,
non-compliance to smoking schedule and the
risk for injury did not and should have included
Resident 1's needs to be supervised during
smoking, as indicated on the smoking
assessment. DON stated the care plan should
have been revised when the MDS was
completed on 7/19/19. DON stated this was
important to ensure that the staff will know how
to take of the resident.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure,
titled "Residents Smoking Policy," revised on
7/2017, indicated the any smoking-related
privileges, restrictions, and concerns (for
example, need for close monitoring) shall be
noted on the care plan, and all personnel
caring for the resident shall be alerted to these
issues.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure,
titled "Comprehensive Person-Centered Care
Plans," revised 12/2016, indicated the
Interdisciplinary Team must review and update
the care plan at least quarterly, in conjunction
with the required quarterly MDS assessment.

§483.25(d)(2)Each resident receives adequate
supervision and assistance devices to prevent
accidents.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to provide supervision for one of
two sampled residents (Resident 1), who was
assessed as a high risk for falls.
Resident 1, who was moderately impaired to
make decisions and required supervision
during smoking, was left unattended while
smoking outside at the facility's patio area.
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1
sustaining a fall on 9/20/19 at 1:30 a.m.,
causing severe pain on the resident's right leg
and hip. Resident 1 was transferred to General
Acute Care Hospital 1 (GACH 1) on the same
day, where Resident 1 was identified to have
sustained a right hip intertrochanteric fracture
(a break in the bony protrusions of the
thighbone) and had undergone an open
reduction and internal fixation (surgical
implementation of implants to repair severely
broken bone).
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's Admission Record
indicated the facility readmitted the resident on
11/6/17. Resident 1's diagnoses included
displaced fracture of greater tuberosity of left
humerus (break in the long bone of the upper

at Risk for Injury Due to Parkinson's
Disease/Alzheimer's, initiated 7/24/18,

system with symptoms that included shaking,
rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty
with walking and gait) and epilepsy (brain
disorder marked by sudden recurrent episodes
of sensory disturbance, loss of consciousness,
and uncontrolled movements of the body). The
assessment indicated Resident 1 was not able
to store smoking and lighting materials to
prevent access by other residents. Resident 1
cannot light own cigarette. Resident 1 was
determined as not cognitively alert and does
not exhibit independent judgment to maintain
own smoking and/or lighting materials. The
assessment indicated Resident 1 required
supervision while smoking/and or using lighting
materials.
A review of GACH 1's History and Physical,
dated 9/20/19, indicated the resident was
walking to the patio outside to smoke when he
subsequently slipped, fell and landed on his
right hip. Resident 1 was transferred to GACH
1's emergency unit for further medical
condition. X-ray (photographic or digital image
of the internal composition of something,
especially a part of the body) showed right hip
intertrochanteric fracture.

A review of the GACH 1's Operative Report,
dated 9/21/29, indicated Resident 1's
preoperative and postoperative diagnosis was
right intertrochanteric fracture. Resident 1 had

independent judgment to maintain own
smoking and/or lighting materials and requires
supervision while smoking and/or using lighting
materials. The DON stated due to Resident 1's
risk factors, Resident 1 need to be supervised
while smoking by the CNA assigned to him.
The DON stated Resident 1 was unsupervised
outside at the facility patio when the resident

outside lying on the ground and notified staff.
The DON stated according to Resident 1, he

schedule (9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 6
p.m., and 8 p.m.), one activity staff and one
CNA take turn to supervise the residents who
smoke in the designated smoking area. The
DON stated Resident 1 slept mostly during the
day and smoked when he was awake at night.
The DON stated Resident 1 was non-compliant
to smoking schedule and would wheel himself
to the patio. The DON stated staff would
sometimes find Resident 1 sitting or smoking in
the patio by himself. The DON stated Resident
1 was allowed to keep smoking paraphernalia
