When CNA 4 went around the curtain to Resident 252's bed, the resident asked CNA 4 in to help him get his urinal. CNA 4 assisted the resident and kept the bedside curtain drawn for privacy. During an interview with LVN 6 on 10/05/18 at 3:35 p.m., she stated that the call lights do not indicate which resident had pressed the call light, but "when the call light is on, there's no way to see who has the problem. So I will check in with everyone in the room. I don't speak very much (Resident 252's native language), so if I can't understand the problem, I will get a translator."

A review of the History and Physical (H&Pinformation about a resident's medical past and examination findings) report completed on September 6, 2018, indicated Resident 119 was alert and oriented. Resident 119 was admitted with diagnoses of metastatic colon cancer (spread of cancer cells from initial site of the disease to another part of the body), to right buttock and to lungs. The physical examination section indicated right buttock metastatic ulcer (indurated- a localized hardening of soft tissue of the body that becomes firm/hard). A review of Resident 119's care plan initiated on August 28, 2018, and revised on September 4, 2018, indicated the resident had altered skin breakdown related to recent surgery, limited mobility, right inferior (lower in place or position) pressure injury unstageable, right superior (a higher place or position) pressure injury unstageable, and under scrotal area pressure injury unstageable. The care plan goal indicated the wound will remain free from signs and symptoms of infection for 14 days and the resident's wound will heal as evidenced by decrease in size, absence of erythema (abnormal redness of the skin) and drainage, and presence of granulation (a grainy surface as part of the healing process) for 14 days.

During a concurrent interview, Resident 119 stated that he felt like he was being neglected, like the nursing staff were ignoring him (the resident was crying, wiping his tears, sometimes pausing before continuing talking). Resident 119 stated that the nursing staff did not change his incontinence brief, wound dressing, colostomy bag timely, and did not empty his colostomy bag. Resident 119 stated that he was tired of asking the nursing staff to perform those tasks, because it made him feel like a child. Resident 119 stated that he sometimes emptied his colostomy bag because some nursing staff did not want to empty it. Resident 119 stated that the nursing staff (assigned after 3 p.m.) did not want to change his wound dressing and that he notified (on an unspecified date) the social worker and the "social worker helper," who stated they will look into it and take care of the concern. Resident 119 stated that he notified Licensed Vocational Nurse 7 (LVN 7), who told the resident to "insist" that the nursing staff assigned after 3 p.m. change his wound dressing in the evening. Resident 119 stated that sometimes, the wound dressing would be saturated with drainage and that he would remove the "cushion- spongy part of the dressing" and change the incontinence brief (soiled by drainage). Resident 119 stated that when the wound dressing would become saturated with drainage, the drainage would go on the surrounding skin and irritate the skin; the resident would have to get a small towel and wipe the skin frequently until the morning shift. Even the incontinence brief would be wet from the wound drainage. Resident 119 stated that the call light response during the night was "worse" because the nursing staff would sometimes respond and acknowledge his needs and sometimes would answer the call light and tell him that they will notify his assigned nurse, but no one would show up.

On October 2, 2018 at 12:19 p.m., during an interview, LVN 7 stated that Resident 119 reported to him twice, the first or 2 week of the resident's admission (last week of August 2018 or first week of September 2018), that his wound dressing was saturated with drainage and that the nurses during the evening/night shifts did not change his the dressing. LVN 7 stated that he notified the charge nurse (could not remember the name of the charge nurse) of Resident 119's complaint when the resident reported the concerns. LVN 7 stated that prior to changing Resident 119's wound dressing in the morning, the wound dressing would be saturated with drainage, which would lead the incontinence brief to be soiled as well. LVN 7 stated that Resident 119 emptied his colostomy bag because the resident knew how to care for his colostomy and preferred to care for it on his own. On October 2, 2018 at 2:55 p.m., during an interview, the Social Service Director (SSD) stated that the facility's procedure was to complete a grievance form whenever a resident filed a grievance (verbal or written). The grievance form would be given to the Social Service Department, which would assign the grievance to the appropriate discipline for resolution.

CNA 2 stated that Resident 119 had not verbalized he was depressed or sad, but CNA 2 could tell on the resident's face that he was sad (could not give specific details). On October 3, 2018 at 8:17 a.m., during an interview, LVN 6 stated that Resident 119 reported to her that his wound dressing was not being changed, which prompted LVN 6 to complete the grievance form on September 10, 2018. LVN 6 stated that Resident 119's wound had a lot of drainage. LVN 6 stated that LVN 7 had not reported to her that Resident 119 had complained in the past that his wound dressing was not being changed.

On October 4, 2018 at 9:28 a.m., during an interview, LVN 7 stated that he did not document Resident 119's concern (wound dressing not being changed as verbalized by the resident the first week after admission) because the charge nurses are responsible for documenting any concerns. LVN 7 stated that he notified the charge nurse and the social service department on an unspecified date.

During a concurrent interview, Resident 119 stated that sometimes, he would change his colostomy bag and that when he asked some nurses to perform that task, they did not want to do it. Resident 119 stated that he did not receive any education/training from the facility staff of how to care for the colostomy.

LVN 7 reviewed Resident 119's care plan for bowel incontinence and stated that it did not address how to care for the resident's colostomy. On October 5, 2018 at 8:45 a.m., during wound care observation, LVN 7 removed the right buttock dressing, which was saturated with serous sanguineous (containing both blood and the liquid part of blood) drainage. The wound was hard and there was a strong, foul odor coming from the wound. The periwound (the skin surrounding an injury) was macerated (occurs when skin is in contact with moisture for too long, often associated with improper wound care) with a grayish color and the wound had yellowish and granulated (healthy) tissues. LVN 7 measured the right buttock wound and stated that the dimensions were 12 cm length by 12 cm width. LVN 7 cleansed the wound with a cleansing solution (spray), patted dry, applied Santyl, and covered the wound with a dry dressing. LVN 7 performed the same wound care treatment to Resident 119's under the scrotal wound area. Resident 119's colostomy bag was full` and was leaking.

Resident 119 stated that LVN 10 sent LVN 5 to perform his dressing change, but he (the resident) refused, because LVN 5 does not use the proper technique (uses a towel and water from the restroom, instead of gauze and cleaning solution) to change the dressing.

Resident 119 stated that he would change his incontinence brief because of the drainage from the wound soiled the brief and would change and/or empty his colostomy bag, because some people did not want to do it. Resident 119 stated the first week he was admitted into the facility (August 28, 2018 to September 4, 2018), he told LVN 7, that the nursing staff was not changing his wound dressing during the night. The resident stated that he told one of his CNAs, and spoke with the Social Service Director (SSD) and Social Service Designee 1 (SSD 1) about his concern about 10 days ago (September 25, 2018), but things did not get better. When asked if he had told the SSD and SSD 1 how he felt, Resident 119 responded, "no" because the social service staff never asked him how he was feeling. The resident became tearful during the interview at times and wiped his tears stating that he felt neglected, sad, and wanted "to be out of here", meaning out of the facility. Resident 119 stated he did not know why the nurses were behaving like they did not care about the job and that he was having a hard time as a resident in the facility. Resident 119 stated that some staff were rough during care: one time, a staff member (tall male with curly hair) came into the room, did not even turn on the light, removed the sheet, kept turning him from side to side "rolling him like a burrito", and did not say "I am sorry." Resident 119 stated he did not ask that staff to change him anymore because "he treats people bad, is rough".

In addition, the QA Nurse stated that she did not notify the Abuse Prevention Coordinator of the resident's concerns. On October 5, 2018 at 4:11 p.m., during an interview, LVN 8 stated Resident 119 was carrying himself a bit more different (more understanding) when initially admitted, but now the resident was more lethargic, sad, weak, and on the "bluer side." LVN 8 stated that Resident 119 would usually request to have his wound dressing changed around 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. before going to sleep. LVN 8 stated she provided wound treatment when requested, but was unable to provide documented evidence she provided dressing changes to Resident 119's wound (right buttock and under scrotal area) in August 2018, and/or September 2018, during the 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. shift.

Resident 139 stated that the female nurse, who was assigned to her the night before was rough, "pushing and pulling her" (resident demonstrating as she was talking). Resident 139 also stated that the call light response during the night shift was 15 to 20 minutes and that sometimes, the nursing staff would not respond and address her needs (administration of pain medication), which did FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: 985N11 Facility ID: CA970000003 If continuation sheet 59 of 144 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

F641 11/02/2018 §483.20(g) Accuracy of Assessments. The assessment must accurately reflect the resident's status. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, record review and interview the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set (MDS- a comprehensive assessment and screening tool) under the dental/oral section was accurate and reflected the resident's actual condition for one of 50 sample residents (Resident 353). This deficient practice had the potential to result in delay of the provision of necessary dental/oral services. Findings: On October 4, 2018 at 9:32 a.m., Resident 353 was observed laying in bed and stated she has been asking to see a dentist since admission. The resident was observed with broken and missing teeth. A review of the admission record indicated Resident 353 was initially admitted on September 17, 2018, with diagnoses including hypertension (high blood pressure), and urinary tract infection (infection of any part of the urinary tract).

On October 4, 2018 at 2:33 p.m., during a concurrent record review and interview, Registered Nurse 4 (RN 4) confirmed the oral/dental assessment indicated Resident 353 had no dental problems. On October 4, 2018 at 2:50 p.m., during a concurrent observation and interview, RN 4 and RN 5 (the MDS nurses) assessed Resident 353 and confirmed the resident's dental status was not accurately reflected in the assessment. RN 5 agreed the MDS was not coded correctly because Resident 353 had broken and missing teeth.

A review of Resident 63's "Risk for Limited Engagement" care plan created on May 4, 2018, indicated to invite and assist resident to activities and special events of interest and encourage family and friends' support an involvement in facility based activities. There was documented evidence of a care plan activity with specific interventions reflecting residents assessment and preferences. On October 4, 2018 at 8:19 a.m., during concurrent record review and interview, the Activity Director (AD) stated the care plan care should include the interventions the facility has in place for the residents. The AD stated the care plan should be based on the assessment and the interview with the resident's family. The AD stated Resident 63 care plan did not include all the interventions, and preferences of the resident. The AD stated the care plan does not indicate the intervention in place for the resident. On October 4, 2018 at 8: 32 a.m. during an interview, the Registered Nurse 4 (RN 4) agreed the care plan was not specific to the resident.

The policy and procedure stated a comprehensive person-centered care plan must be developed and must describe services that are being provided. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and/or implement an individualized person-centered plan of care with measurable objectives, timeframe, and interventions for two of 50 sampled residents (Resident 119 and 63) by: 1. Failing to address Resident 119 's preferences and prevent a fall incident. 2. Failing to develop an individualized activity care plan with specific interventions for Resident 63, based on the residents activity assessment and preferences. These deficient practices placed Resident 119 at risk for injuries from a fall, and resulted in Resident 63 not being offered activities based of his preferences. Findings: a. A review of the admission record indicated Resident 119 was originally admitted to the facility on August 28, 2018, and readmitted in September 15, 2018, with diagnoses that included muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, malignant neoplasm of colon (cancer of the large intestine), malignant neoplasm of rectum (cancer of the rectum), colostomy status, pressure ulcer (injury to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin) of left and right buttocks, unstageable (known but not stageable (the extent or progression of) due to coverage of wound bed by dead or non-viable (not expected to heal) FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: 985N11 Facility ID: CA970000003 If continuation sheet 64 of 144 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS- a comprehensive assessment and care screening tool) dated September 4, 2018, indicated Resident 119 had intact cognition and required limited one person physical assistance with bed mobility, transfer, toilet use and personal hygiene. The MDS also indicated Resident 119 had an ostomy (an artificial opening in an organ of the body) and did not have a history of falls. A review of the History and Physical (H&P) report completed on September 6, 2018, indicated that Resident 119 was alert and oriented. Resident 119 was admitted with diagnoses of metastatic colon cancer (spread of cancer cells from initial site of the disease to another part of the body). A review of the care plan initiated on September 10, 2018, indicated Resident 119 was at risk for falls due to functional mobility limitations, function independently, and noncompliance in using the call light. The goal indicated Resident 119 will have no falls with injury for 90 days. The care plan interventions included: place call light within reach while in bed or close proximity to the bed, remind resident to use call light when attempting to ambulate or transfer, monitor for and assist toileting needs, and assist resident getting out of bed with assist or staff using rolling walker. A review of the care plan initiated on September 10, 2018, indicated Resident 119 was incontinent of bowel and was unable to physically participate in a retraining program due to colostomy status.

The care plan did not address necessary care specific to Resident 119's colostomy care. On October 2, 2018 at 11:31 a.m., during an observation, Resident 119 was lying in bed, awake, alert, and oriented to person, place, time, and situation. During a concurrent interview, Resident 119 stated that he felt like he was being neglected, like the nursing staff was ignoring him (resident was crying, wiping his tears, sometimes pausing before continuing talking). Resident 119 stated that the nursing staff did not change his incontinence brief, wound dressing, colostomy bag timely, and did not empty his colostomy bag. Resident 119 stated that he was tired of asking the nursing staff to perform those tasks because it made him feel like a child. Resident 119 stated that he sometimes emptied his own colostomy bag every two days because some nursing staff did not want to empty it. When asked how not having his needs met made him feel, Resident 119 responded that it made him feel "really sad." During the same interview at 11:33 p.m., Resident 119 stated that he fell about 45 minutes ago, pressed the call light button two or three times, but no one came. Resident 119 stated he was attempting to go to the restroom to remove his incontinence brief and empty his colostomy bag. Resident 119 stated he landed on his right buttock wound and heard a "pop" sound, then the wound started bleeding (the nurse had to apply deep pressure for about 10 minute).

On October 2, 2018 at 12:19 p.m., during an interview, Licensed Vocational Nurse 7 (LVN 7) stated that Resident 119 emptied his own colostomy bag because the resident knew how to care for his colostomy and preferred to care for it on his own. LVN 7 stated that Resident 119 had a fall incident earlier in the morning, when asked the resident what happened, Resident 119 responded that he was trying go to the restroom, pressed the call light three or four times, but no one responded. LVN 7 stated that Resident 119 had safety awareness, was able to call for assistance, and always called before attempting to get up. On October 4, 2018 at 10:37 a.m., during an observation, Resident 119 was lying in bed and LVN 6 was at the bedside administering medications. During a concurrent interview, Resident 119 stated that sometimes, he would change his colostomy bag and that when he asked some nurses to perform that task, they did not want to do it. Resident 119 stated that he did not receive any education/training from a facility staff on how to care for the colostomy. After Resident 119's statement, LVN 6, who was present during the interview, stated that it was the first time she was made aware that Resident 119 sometimes performed his own colostomy care.

LVN 7 stated that he did not notify anyone and did not document because he assumed the nurses knew, Resident 119 was changing his colostomy bag and performing colostomy care. LVN 7 reviewed Resident 119's care plan for bowel incontinence and stated the care plan did not address how to care for the resident's colostomy. A review of the facility's revised policy dated March 1, 2018, titled "Person-Centered Care Plan" indicated a comprehensive, individualized care plan will be developed within seven days after completion of the comprehensive assessment for each patient that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet a patient's medical, nursing, nutrition, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessments. The interdisciplinary, in conjunction with the resident and/or resident representative, as appropriate, will establish the expected goals and outcome of care, the type, amount, frequency, and duration of care, and any other factors related to the effectiveness of the plan of care.

Follow the recommendations of the Wound Care Physician Consultant (WCPC) to change Resident 119's wound dressing as needed. This deficient practices placed Resident 119 at risk for discomfort and infection, and resulted in Resident 119 feeling sad, neglected, and was subjected to mental anguish and distress as evidenced by crying, resident's verbalization of wanting to leave the facility due to unmet necessary wound care. Findings: A review of the admission record indicated Resident 119 was originally admitted to the facility on August 28, 2018, and readmitted in September 15, 2018, with diagnoses that included muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, malignant neoplasm of colon (cancer of the large intestine), malignant neoplasm of rectum (cancer of the rectum), colostomy status (an operation that creates an opening for the large intestine, through the abdomen), pressure ulcer (injury to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin) of left and right buttocks, unstageable (known but not FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: 985N11 Facility ID: CA970000003 If continuation sheet 73 of 144 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS- a comprehensive assessment and care screening tool) dated September 4, 2018, indicated Resident 119 had intact cognition and required limited one person physical assistance with bed mobility, transfer, toilet use and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 119 had an ostomy (an artificial opening in an organ of the body) and two unstageable pressure ulcer measuring 8 centimeters (cm) length by 5 cm width. A review of the History and Physical (H&P) report completed on September 6, 2018, indicated that Resident 119 was alert and oriented. Resident 119 was admitted with diagnoses of metastatic colon cancer (spread of cancer cells from initial site of the disease to another part of the body), metastatic locoregional right buttock and to lungs. The physical examination section indicated right buttock metastatic ulcer (indurated- a localized hardening of soft tissue of the body that becomes firm/hard). A review of Resident 119's care plan initiated on August 28, 2018, and revised on September 4, 2018, indicated the resident had altered skin breakdown related to recent surgery, limited mobility, right inferior pressure injury unstageable, right superior pressure injury unstageable, and under scrotal area pressure injury unstageable. The care plan goal indicated the wound will remain free from signs and symptoms of infection for 14 days and the resident wound will heal as evidenced by decrease in size, absence of erythema and drainage, and presence of granulation for 14 days.

Resident 119 stated that the nursing staff did not change his wound dressing timely. Resident 119 stated that the nursing staff (assigned after 3 p.m.) did not want to change his wound dressing and that he notified (on an unspecified date) the social worker and the "social worker helper," who stated they will look into it and take care of the concern. Resident 119 stated that he notified Licensed Vocational Nurse 7 (LVN 7), who told the resident to "insist" that the nursing staff assigned after 3 p.m. change his wound dressing in the evening. Resident 119 stated that sometimes, the wound dressing would be saturated with drainage and that he would remove the "cushion- spongy part of the dressing" and change the incontinence brief (soiled by drainage). Resident 119 stated that when the wound dressing would become saturated with drainage, the drainage would go on the surrounding skin and irritate the skin; the resident would have to get a small towel and wipe the skin frequently until the morning shift. Even the incontinence brief would be wet. Resident 119 stated that LVN 8 was one of the nurses that did not want to change his wound dressing.

During a concurrent interview, Resident 119 stated that he felt like he was being neglected, like the nursing staff was ignoring him (resident was crying, wiping his tears, sometimes pausing before continuing talking). Resident 119 stated that the nursing staff did not change his incontinence brief, colostomy bag timely, and did not empty his colostomy bag. Resident 119 stated that he was tired of asking the nursing staff to perform those tasks, because it made him feel like a child. Resident 119 stated that he sometimes emptied his own colostomy bag every two days, because some nursing staff did not want to empty it. When asked how not having his needs met made him feel, Resident 119 responded that it made him feel "really sad." During the same interview at 11:33 p.m., Resident 119 stated that he fell about 45 minutes ago, pressed the call light button two or three times, but no one came. Resident 119 stated he was attempting to go to the restroom to remove his incontinence brief and empty his colostomy bag. Resident 119 stated he landed on his right buttock wound and he heard a "pop" sound, then the wound started bleeding (the nurse had to apply deep pressure for about 10 minute).

On October 2, 2018 at 12:45 p.m., during an observation, Resident 103 was sitting in his wheelchair, awake, alert, and oriented to person, place, and time. During a concurrent interview, Resident 103 stated that about an hour ago, he was in the Dining Room and requested to use the bathroom; a nurse took him to the nursing station and left him there. Resident 103 stated that he was staring at the walls while trying to get someone's attention, but everyone was just walking by him. After a while, the Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA 1) asked him if he needed help and he responded he needed to use the restroom. Resident 103 stated that he thought PTA 1 would take him to the restroom, but instead took him back to his room and told the resident he would get someone to help him. Resident 103 stated that after about 30 minutes, he soiled himself and was currently still soiled. Resident 103 stated that the nursing staff had not changed his incontinence brief yet. When asked how he felt about his concerns, resident stated that he felt sad and depressed.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 50 sampled residents (Resident 119), who was admitted with a colostomy (an operation that creates an opening for the large intestine, through the abdomen), received necessary care and services consistent with professional standards of practice and the resident's preferences by failing to: 1. Provide Resident 119 with colostomy selfcare instructions. 2. Provide colostomy care when requested by Resident 119. 3. Develop person-centered interventions indicating how and when to care for Resident 119's colostomy. As a result, Resident 119 was placed at a potential risk for skin irritation and infection at the colostomy site. Findings: A review of the admission record indicated Resident 119 was originally admitted to the facility on August 28, 2018, and readmitted in September 15, 2018, with diagnoses that included muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, malignant neoplasm of colon (cancer of the large intestine), malignant neoplasm of rectum (cancer of the rectum), colostomy status, pressure ulcer (injury to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin) of left and right buttocks, unstageable (known but not stageable-the extent or FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: 985N11 Facility ID: CA970000003 If continuation sheet 110 of 144 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

The MDS indicated Resident 119 had an ostomy (an artificial opening in an organ of the body). A review of the History and Physical (H&P) report completed on September 6, 2018, indicated that Resident 119 was alert and oriented. Resident 119 was admitted with diagnoses of metastatic colon cancer (spread of cancer cells from initial site of the disease to another part of the body). A review of the care plan initiated on September 10, 2018, indicated Resident 119 was incontinent of bowel and was unable to physically participate in a retraining program due to colostomy status. The care plan goal indicated Resident 119 will have incontinence care met by staff to maintain dignity and comfort and to prevent incontinence related complication. The care plan interventions included: apply moisture barrier to perianal (around the anus) and perineal (between the anus and the external genitalia) area as indicated, assist with perineal care as needed, complete an incontinence assessment at intervals according to policy and procedure, monitor for skin redness/irritation and report as indicated, provide privacy and comfort, and use absorbent product as needed. The care plan did not address necessary care specific to Resident 119's colostomy care.

During a concurrent interview, Resident 119 stated that he felt like he was being neglected, like the nursing staff was ignoring him (resident was crying, wiping his tears, sometimes pausing before continuing talking). Resident 119 stated that the nursing staff did not change his incontinence brief, and colostomy bag timely, and did not empty his colostomy bag. Resident 119 stated that he was tired of asking the nursing staff to perform those tasks, because it made him feel like a child. Resident 119 stated that he sometimes emptied his own colostomy bag every two days, because some nursing staff did not want to empty it.

On October 2, 2018 at 12:19 p.m., during an interview, LVN 7 stated that Resident 119 emptied his own colostomy bag, because the resident knew how to care for his colostomy and preferred to care for it on his own. On October 4, 2018 at 10:37 a.m., during an observation, Resident 119 was lying in bed and LVN 6 was at the bedside administering medications. During a concurrent interview, Resident 119 stated that sometimes, he would change his colostomy bag and that when he asked some nurses to perform that task, they did not want to do it. Resident 119 stated that he did not receive any education/training from a facility staff on how to care for the colostomy. After Resident 119's statement, LVN 6, who was present during the interview, stated that it was the first time she was made aware that Resident 119 sometimes performed his own colostomy care.

Resident 119 stated that he would change and/or empty his colostomy bag because some people did not want to do it. During the interview, Resident would become tearful at times and wipe his tears stating that he felt neglected, sad, and wanted "to be out of here", meaning out of the facility. Resident 119 stated that he did not know why the nurses were behaving like they did not care about the job, and that he was having a hard time as a resident in the facility. A review of the facility's revised policy dated March 1, 2018, titled "Person-Centered Care Plan" indicated a comprehensive, individualized care plan will be developed within seven days after completion of the comprehensive assessment for each patient that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet a patient's medical, nursing, nutrition, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessments. The interdisciplinary, in conjunction with the resident and/or resident representative, as appropriate, will establish the expected goals and outcome of care, the type, amount, frequency, and duration of care, and any other factors related to the effectiveness of the plan of care.

F914 11/02/2018 §483.90(e)(1)(iv) Be designed or equipped to assure full visual privacy for each resident; §483.90(e)(1)(v) In facilities initially certified after March 31, 1992, except in private rooms, each bed must have ceiling suspended curtains, which extend around the bed to provide total visual privacy in combination with adjacent walls and curtains. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 50 sampled residents (Resident 300) was provided with a ceiling suspended curtain, which extends around the bed to provide total visual privacy. This deficient practice violated Resident 300's right to privacy and had the potential to negatively affect the resident's psychosocial well-being. Findings: A review of the admission record indicated Resident 300 was admitted to the facility on September 30, 2018, with diagnosis that included muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, high blood pressure, and diabetes (uncontrolled blood sugar).
