d. A review of the admission record indicated
Resident 53 was admitted on October 17,
2017, with diagnoses including but not limited
to, hypertension (high blood pressure), and
pressure ulcer of sacral region (bedsore
located on the lower back at the bottom the

A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a
comprehensive assessment and care
screening tool) dated July 24, 2018, indicated
Resident 53's cognitive (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding) skills for daily decisions were
intact. The MDS indicated Resident 53 required
extensive assistance for dressing, toilet use
and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated
Resident 53 had one stage four pressure ulcer
(full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone).
On October 2, 2018 at 9:04 a.m., during a tour
of the facility, Resident 53 stated she had been
waiting for 30 minutes to have her diaper
changed. Resident 53 stated, "I have a wound
in my back and how am I supposed to keep it
dry if no one comes to change my diaper".
Resident 53 stated sitting on wet diaper made
her feel "pretty bad". Resident 53 stated staff
would come in the room, turn the call light off
and would not ask her what she needed. While
speaking to Resident 53 a staff member came
in the room, turned off the light and told the
resident she would get someone to help her.
Resident 53 stated, "it is very sad, I feel
neglected, I wonder if they think because I am
old I don't fight back".

and revised on January 25, 2018, indicated to
treat each resident with respect and dignity and
care for each resident in a manner and in an
environment that promotes maintenance or
enhancement of his/her self-esteem and selfworth.
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to enhance residents'
dignity and respect for four of 50 sampled
residents (Residents 103, 60, 250, and 53) and

5. Failing to assist Resident 53 who had a
pressure ulcer (skin injury) with changing her
wet brief for over an hour and a half.
These deficient practices had the potential to
negatively affect Residents 103's and 53's
dignity and self-worth and violated Resident
60's and 250's right to privacy and dignity
which had the potential to result in
embarrassment for the residents.

Resident 103 was admitted to the facility on
August 3, 2018, with diagnoses that included
hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body),
muscle weakness, pressure ulcer (injury to skin
and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged
pressure on the skin) of the sacral region, and
abnormal gait and mobility.
A review of the History and Physical report
completed on August 6, 2018, indicated
Resident 103 was awake and alert.
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS- a
comprehensive assessment and care
screening tool) dated August 10, 2018,
indicated Resident 103 had intact cognition and
required total one person physical assistance
with toilet use.
A review of the Initial Nursing Assessment
dated August 3, 2018, indicated Resident 103
was incontinent of bowel and bladder and was
not on a toileting program. The nursing
assessment did not indicate the type of
Resident 103's urinary incontinence.

the months of July and August 2018, indicated
the residents verbalized that the Certified
Nursing Assistants would take 30 to 45 minutes
to answer call lights.
On October 3, 2018 from 10:10 a.m. to 11:10
a.m., during a Group Meeting, three out of
seven residents in attendance stated that when
they press the call light button to request for
assistance, the CNAs would come inside the
room, turn off the light, and say just a minute or
I will get someone to help, and that person
never would show up. The residents stated that
they would press the call light again, the CNAs
would turn off the light and no one would come
for another 20 minutes. Five out seven
residents in attendance stated that they felt the
facility did not have enough staff to meet the
needs of the residents.
On October 5, 2018 at 11:20 a.m., during an
interview, the Administrator of the facility stated
that call lights response was a Quality
Assessment and Assurance's focused area
during the previous quarter, but not anymore
because data collected from audits indicated
that call light response time had improved. The
Administrator stated that the audits conducted
focused on call light response time, but did not
focus on whether or not resident's needs were
addressed after responding to call light.
A review of the facility's revised policy dated
October 1, 2012, indicated that residents will
have a call light or alternative communication
device within their reach at all times when
unattended. Staff will respond to call lights and
communication devices promptly.

indicated Resident 119 had intact cognition and
required limited one person physical assistance
with bed mobility, transfer, toilet use and
personal hygiene.
A review of the History and Physical (H&P)
report completed on September 6, 2018,
indicated that Resident 119 was alert and
oriented.
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 the call light response during the
night was "worse" because the nursing staff
would sometimes acknowledge his needs and
sometimes would answer the call light and tell

A review of Resident 76's care plan dated
5/6/18, titled "Resident is at risk for falls: CVA,
Impaired mobility, history of fall," had nursing
interventions that included "Place call light
within reach while in bed or close proximity to
the bed," and "Remind resident to use call light
when attempting to ambulate or transfer." The
care plan indicated Resident 76 had actual falls
on 8/2/18, 9/10/18, 9/13/18, and 9/14/18.
During an observation of call lights on 10/3/18
at 3:30 p.m., at Station 3, an attempt to activate
the call light for Resident 76 did not turn on the
hallway light signal. Maintenance Supervisor
(MS), Administrator (ADM), and Maintenance
Assistant (MA) were present and attempted to
the fix the call light button to no avail. The call
light button was replaced immediately and
when activated, the hallway light signal turned
on.
During a concurrent interview on 10/3/18 at
3:30 p.m., the MA stated, "No one told me the
call light wasn't working."
During an interview with Resident 76 on
10/5/18 at 4:13 PM, with the translation
assistance of the Activities Director (ACD), the
resident stated, "When I am in my room and I
need help, I press the button and wait for the
nurse. I am not supposed to get out of bed
until the nurse comes." The resident stated,
"Sometimes when I press the button" but was
unable to complete the sentence.

waste from your blood sufficiently) with
dependence on renal dialysis (a treatment
process that removes excess water and toxins
from the body), Parkinson's disease (a chronic
and progressive movement disorder), and
amputation of the left leg above the knee.
A review of Resident 106's Minimum Data Set
(MDS - a comprehensive assessment and care

resident was able to hear adequately and had
clear speech, and was sometimes
understandable (ability was limited to making
concrete requests) and sometimes understood
others (responded adequately to simple, direct
communication only). Resident 106 required
extensive one person physical assistance for
bed mobility and dressing and was totally

Resident 106 was observed lying in bed. The
resident's call light was on the ground by his
bed, approximately 3 feet away from the head
of Resident 106's bed.
During an interview with Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA 5) on 10/2/18 at 8:15 a.m., he
stated the call light "shouldn't' be on the floor; it
should be by his bed." CNA 5 picked up the

had adequate ability to hear, adequate ability to
see with glasses and clear speech. Resident
252 had slightly limited mobility and needed
limited assistance to change position and was
confined to bed. The resident was also
receiving a diuretic (a medication that promotes
the increased production of urine).
A review of Resident 252's care plan dated
9/29/18, titled "Resident has actual skin
breakdown," indicated nursing interventions
that included "provide peri care / incontinence
care as needed."
A review of Resident 252's care plan, dated
10/1/18, titled "Pt/Resident will be comfortable
throughout the end of the journey, " indicated
nursing interventions that included "Assess for
pain, restlessness, agitation, constipation, and
other symptoms of discomfort. Medicate as
ordered and evaluate effectiveness. Provided
non-pharmacological approaches to aide in
decreasing discomfort."
During an initial tour on 10/2/18 at 7:45 a.m.,
Resident 252 was observed lying in his bed
with his privacy curtain drawn. A urinal was on
the dresser behind the resident's head, and his
bedside curtain was pulled which obstructed
the resident's view of the door. The resident
stated, "I need a urinal so I can pee" and
pressed the call light. The call light indicator
outside the room door was turned on, but there
was no indicator within view of the resident, in
order to know that the call light was on, nor that
it was Resident 252 who had pressed the call
light.

Resident 96 and Resident 252's language is
different from the predominantly spoken
language of the facility staff. Resident 96
pointed at the television. LVN 2 turned on the
television and left room, but did not ask the
other two residents (Resident 252 and
Resident 106) if they needed assistance.
At 10/2/18 at 7:50 a.m., during an interview

with his television" and walked away from the
room.
At 10/2/18 at 8:15 a.m. Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA 4) went into Resident 252's
room to pick up the breakfast trays. 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."

titled "NSG101 Call Lights" dated 10/01/12,
indicated "All (facility) patients will have a call

by:
Based on observation and interview, the facility
failed to ensure residents received information
and contact information regarding the State
Long-Term Care Ombudsman program for 6
out of seven residents in attendance during a
Group Meeting.
This deficient practice violated the residents'
rights to be informed of the State Long-Term
Care Ombudsman program (an advocacy
program for residents).
Findings:
On October 3, 2018 at 10:10 a.m., during a

attendance stated that they did not receive any
information regarding the State Long-Term
Care Ombudsman program. The residents
stated they did not know the role of an
Ombudsman.
On October 5, 2018 at 2:40 p.m., during a

presence of the Activity Director (ACD), one
Ombudsman poster was noted in the Main
Dining Room. There were no other contact
information posters regarding Ombudsman
available in prominent (standing out so as to be

side of the bed closer to the wall.
A review of the admission record indicated
Resident 63 was admitted on April 27, 2018,
with diagnoses including but not limited to
hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) and major
depressive disorder.
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a

(SSD 1) would promote and protect Resident
119's psychological well-being and right to be
free from neglect in provision of necessary
care.
7. Failing to ensure the nursing staff would
attend to Residents 119, 103, and 139's needs

9. Failing to ensure Resident 103 would be
assisted to the restroom when requested to
prevent the resident from soiling his
incontinence brief.
As a result, Resident 119 felt sad, neglected,
and was subjected to mental anguish and
distress as evidenced by crying, resident's

to unmet necessary wound care and colostomy
care. These deficient practices also placed
Resident 119 at risk for unnecessary skin
irritation and can lead to further discomfort.
These deficient practices also resulted in
Resident 103 experiencing preventable
incontinence episodes, which could lead to
embarrassment, and Residents 119, 103, and
109 experiencing rough handling, which could
result in physical injuries and affect the
psychosocial well-being of the residents. These
deficient practices also had the potential to
affect 157 residents currently in the facility.
Findings:
a. A review of the admission record indicated
Resident 119 was originally admitted to the
facility on August 28, 2018, and readmitted on
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
stageable-a classification of the particular stage
reached by a progressive disease, due to
coverage of wound bed by dead or non-viablenot capable of healing, tissue).
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 (movement while in bed),
transfer (movement from one surface to
another including bed to chair), 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 ulcers measuring 8 centimeters (cm)
length by 5 cm width.
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. The
care plan interventions included:
1. Apply barrier cream with each cleansing
2. Evaluate wound area daily including
surrounding tissue and presence or absence of
drainage/infection and/or new wound pain and
report to physician as indicated
3. Monitor for effectiveness and/or side effects
of medication (used to treat pressure injury)

5. Obtain dietitian consult as needed/ordered
6. Provide pericare (rectal, urinary and genital
area) and /incontinence (any accidental or
involuntary loss of urine from the bladder or
bowel movement) as needed.
A review of the care plan initiated on
September 10, 2018, indicated Resident 119
was incontinent of bowel (any accidental or
involuntary loss of bowel movements)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 rectum) and perineal
(urinary and genital 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.
A review of the Grievance/Concern Form
indicated Resident 119 filed a grievance on
September 10, 2018, indicating that his wound
dressing was not being changed during the
second (3 p.m. to 11 p.m.) and third (11 p.m. to
7 a.m.) shifts. The investigation section
indicated that the charge nurse was
interviewed and that the charge nurse stated
Resident 119's dressing was changed. The
Resolution of Grievance/Concern section
indicated that Resident 119 was informed that
the charge nurse changed the dressing and
that according to the charge nurse, the resident

A review of the Resident 119's Treatment
Administration Record (TAR) from August 28,

the nursing staff provided wound care/dressing
changes as needed.
A review of Resident 119's Wound Evaluation
and Management Summary dated October 2,
2018, indicated the resident was oriented to
person, place, time, and situation. The focused
wound exam section indicated the following:
1. Burn Wound (radiation burn, a skin condition
from treatment of disease, using X-rays or
similar forms of radiation, per Resident 119) of
the right superior buttock, wound size: 15 cm
length by 11 cm width by 1 cm depth, surface
area: 165.00 square centimeter, exudates (a
liquid produced by the body in response to
tissue damage): Moderate serous (the liquid
part of blood), slough (dead tissue-including
biofilm, a collection of microorganisms that can
grow on many different surfaces): 30 percent
(%), Granulation tissue: 70 %, wound progress:
deteriorated.
2. Unstageable Deep Tissue Injury (DTI-a
pressure-related injury to subcutaneous tissues
under intact skin), wound size: 5 cm length by 3

time, and situation. 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.

Resident 119 stated that LVN 8 was one of the
nurses that did not want to change his wound
dressing. When asked how not having his
needs met made him feel, Resident 119
responded that it made him feel "really sad"
because he had been residing in the facility for
almost two months (admitted in August 2018),
and since talking to the LVN 7 and the social
workers about the situation (not having his
wound dressing changed during the evening),
things had not gotten any better.
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.

On October 3, 2018 at 7:15 a.m., during an
interview, Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2)
stated that last week (could not remember the
specific date), Resident 119 verbalized to her
that the nursing staff did not change his wound
dressing in the afternoon. CNA 2 stated that
she notified LVN 6, who went to the resident's
room and changed the resident's wound
dressing. 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 3, 2018 at 8:57 a.m., during an
interview, the Quality Assurance Nurse (QA
Nurse) stated she was responsible for

probably forgot his dressing was changed. The
QA nurse stated that she informed Resident

because he assumed the nurses knew
Resident 119 was changing his own colostomy
bag and performing colostomy care. 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.
On October 5, 2018 at 9 a.m., during an
interview in the presence of the Administrator
of the facility, Resident 119 stated that he
asked LVN 10 to change his wound dressing
four times yesterday (on October 4, 2018) in
the evening, but LVN 10 kept saying she was
busy and would be back. 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 the towel
was rough on his wound. Resident 119 stated

LVN 10 did not want to empty and/or change
his colostomy bag. 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".
On October 5, 2018 at 9:20 a.m., during an
interview in the presence of the Administrator
of the facility, the SSD stated she received
Resident 119's grievance on September 10,
2018, and communicated the grievance to the
QA Nurse. The SSD stated she returned to the
resident and notified him that the QA Nurse

would address his concern, but did not followup to ensure Resident 119's concerns were
addressed. When presented with the
Grievance Form completed on September 10,
2018, the Administrator stated that the
investigation did not address the resident's
concern and that no other interviews were
conducted regarding the concerns.
On October 5, 2018 at 11:11 a.m., during a
Quality Assurance interview regarding Resident
119, in the presence of the QA Nurse, the
Administrator, who was also the Abuse
Prevention Coordinator, stated that the
grievance was indicative of neglect (a type of
abuse) and that he was not notified of the
resident's concern. 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.
On October 9, 2018 at 9:15 a.m., during a
phone interview, the Wound Care Physician
Consultant (WCMD) stated that Resident 119's
wound had a lot of drainage. The WCMD
stated that Resident 119's wound was not

more of a comfort concern because the
drainage could be irritating to the surrounding
skin. The WCMD stated that the physician
order to provide wound care as needed meant
that the nurses were to change the wound
dressing whenever the dressing needed.
There was no documented evidence in August
2018, and/or the September 2018, physician
orders to indicate LVN 7, LVN 8, and or the QA
Nurse notified the physician of Resident 19's
request for wound dressing changes to be
done during the evening shift (3 p.m. to 11 p.m.
shift) in order to accommodate for the wound's
drainage.
A review of the facility's revised policy dated
July 1, 2018, titled "Abuse Prohibition"
indicated the facility will prohibit abuse,
mistreatment, neglect, misappropriation of
resident property, and exploitation for all
residents. The facility will implement an abuse
prohibition program through the following:
1. Screening of potential hires;

§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.

required extensive assistance for moving in
bed, transferring from bed to chair, dressing,
toilet use and personal hygiene. The MDS
indicated Resident 353 did not have any dental
issues such as obvious or likely cavity or
broken natural teeth.
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 the "Recreation Comprehensive
Assessment dated April 30, 2018, indicated it
was somewhat important to Resident 63 to
read the newspaper, listen to music, praying
and meditating, attend religious activities.
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

duration of care and any other factors related to
effectiveness of the care plan; documentation
will show evidence of patient's goals and
preferences. 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

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 goal
indicated Resident 119 will have incontinence

complication. The care plan interventions
included: apply moisture barrier to perianal and
perineal 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.
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). Resident 119 stated that he was weak
and always pressed the call light before getting

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.
On October 4, 2018 at 11:12 a.m., during an
interview, the Quality Assurance Nurse (QA
Nurse) stated that Resident 119's fall risk
assessment dated September 4, 2018,
indicated a total score of five (resident was not
at risk for fall). The QA nurse stated that the
care plan for at risk for fall initiated on
September 10, 2018, indicated Resident 119
was non-compliant in using the call light.

documented evidence the facility staff

prior calling for assistance.
On October 4, 2018 at 12:07 p.m., during an
interview, LVN 7 stated that Resident 119 told
him (about the second week after admission)
that he changed his colostomy bag. 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.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure that the low
air loss mattress (LAL- a device used in the
prevention, treatment and management of
pressure ulcers), pressure setting was
maintained at pressure ordered by the
physician for one of 50 sampled residents
(Resident 65).
This deficient practice had the potential to
place Resident 65 at risk for developing new
pressure sores (injury to skin and underlying
tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the
skin), or worsening existing pressure sores.
Findings:
A review of the admission record indicated
Resident 65 was readmitted to the facility on
January 24, 2018, with diagnoses that included
high blood pressure and contracture of muscle
(a condition of shortening and hardening of
muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often leading
to deformity and rigidity of joints).
A review of Resident 65's Braden Scale for
Predicting Pressure Ulcer Risk (an
assessment) form dated August 6, 2018,
indicated a total score of 10. The risk
assessment tool indicates a score of 10,
signifies Resident 65 was at a high risk of
developing a pressure ulcer.
A review of Resident 65's physician order dated
August 30, 2018, indicated to provide LAL
mattress at a pressure of 150.

Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the licensed nursing staff failed to
ensure residents received necessary care and
services related to impaired skin integrity (right
buttock wound) for one of 50 sampled residents
(Resident 119) by failing to:
1. Accurately assess the location and type of
Resident 119's wounds
2. Provide wound dressing change as
requested by Resident 119 for 25 days (from
September 10, 2018 to October 5, 2018), when
the wound dressing was saturated with
drainage.
3. 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

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. The care plan interventions included:

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 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. When asked how not having his
needs met made him feel, Resident 119
responded that it made him feel "really sad."
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.
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.
On October 3, 2018 at 7:15 a.m., during an
interview, Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2)
stated that last week (could not remember the
specific date), Resident 119 verbalized to her
that the nursing staff did not change his wound
dressing in the afternoon. CNA 2 stated that
she notified LVN 6, who went to the resident's
room and changed the resident's wound
dressing. 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
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

had a lot of drainage.

Nurse) stated she was unable to provide
documented evidence the licensed nursing
staff provided wound care/ wound dressing
change to Resident 119's wound areas (right
inferior and superior buttock, under scrotal
area) in August 2018, and September 2018,
during the 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. and/or 11 p.m. to 7
a.m. shift.
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 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 dry dressing. LVN 7 performed
the same wound care treatment to Resident
119's under scrotal wound area. LVN 7 did not
apply Alginate Calcium to Resident 119's right
buttock and scrotal wounds.
On October 5, 2018 at 1:31 p.m., during an
interview, LVN 7 stated that he made round
with the WCMD on October 2, 2018 and the
physician gave him a verbal order to apply
Santyl to Resident's right buttock wound. LVN
7 stated he reviewed the WCMD's notes dated
October 2, 2018, but missed Alginate Calcium
on the dressing treatment plan. LVN 7 stated
that he did not apply Alginate Calcium to
Resident 119's right buttock and scrotal wound
earlier during wound care treatment

On October 5, 2018 at 3:49 p.m., during an
interview, Registered Nurse 3 (RN 3) stated
that the WCMD's dressing treatment plans and
recommendation for nutritional consultation and
pre-albumin 3, was not followed through. RN 3
stated the treatment nurses were responsible
for following up with the recommendation of
WCMD.
On October 9, 2018 at 9:15 a.m., during a
phone interview, the WCMD stated that
Resident 119's wound had a lot of drainage.
The WCMD stated that Resident 119's wounds
were not expected to get better and that the
drainage was not detrimental to the wound, but
was more of a comfort concern because the
drainage could be irritating to the surrounding
skin. The WCMD stated that the physician
order to provide wound care as needed meant
that the nurses were to change the wound
dressing whenever dressing needed. The
WCMD stated that it was his practice to make
rounds with the treatment nurse when
examining the residents, his recommendations
would be verbally communicated during
rounds, and he would document his
recommendations as well.
A review of the facility's revised policy dated
November 28, 2016 and titled "Skin Integrity
Management" indicated that the
implementation of an individual patient's skin
integrity management occurs within the care
delivery process. Staff continually observes
and monitors patient's for changes and
implement revisions to the plan of care as
needed. Review pre-admission information to
plan for patient's needs prior to admission.
Complete comprehensive evaluation of the
patient upon admission/re-admission to the

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,
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 12:19 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.
On October 4, 2018 at 12:07 p.m., during an
interview, LVN 7 stated that Resident 119 told
him (about the second week after admission)
that he changed his colostomy bag. 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 that the care
plan did not address how to care for the
resident's colostomy.

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.Based on observation, interview, and
record review, the facility failed to ensure the
resident environment was free of accident
hazards and/or failed to ensure a resident
received adequate supervision to prevent a fall

8. Conduct a thorough investigation when
Resident 352 fell on September 20, 2018.
These deficient practices had the potential to
result in avoidable injuries for Resident 47, 63,
and 352, resulted in Resident 96 cutting his left
finger when propelling himself through the
doorway, and resulted in Resident 119
sustaining a fall while attempting to go to the
restroom to empty his colostomy (an operation
that creates an opening for the large intestine,
through the abdomen) bag without assistance.

adverse drug effects. If this therapy is continue,
it is recommended that a) the prescriber
document an assessment of risk versus
benefit, indicating that the medication is not
believed to be contributing to falls in this
individual, and b) the facility interdisciplinary
team (IDT) ensure ongoing monitoring for
effectiveness and potential adverse
consequences.

ER to rule out a cerebral bleed via CT Scan, on
August 17, 2018.
On October 4, 2018, 10:21 a.m., during and
interview and record review, with the facility's
Quality Assurance Registered Nurse, (RN 5),
stated the facility did not care plan bilateral
floor landing mats until August 21, 2018, 36
days after Resident 47's initial admission, and
32 days after Resident 47's mechanical fall
from his bed to the floor, on August 17, 2018,
at 4:30 p.m.
On October 4, 2018, at 4 p.m., during a
subsequent bedside observation, Resident 47's
bed was observed was observed waist level to
LVN 13. During an interview, LVN 13 indicated,
the bed was not lower, because "I don't put
urinary (Foley) catheters on the floor," while
she lowered Resident 47's bed. However, the
facility did not follow Resident 47, July 28,
2018's care plan, titled Resident is at risk for
falls:Bed confined due to his history of CVA
with weakness. The care plan's with nursing
interventions, included frequent visual checks
and a low bed. However, this did not happen.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure
titled, "Falls care Delivery Process," dated, July
25, 2016, indicated fall risk is an
interprofessional process. This means that the
most successful fall program is a collaboration
of all disciplines to identify and manage risk
factors and causes. The policy and procedure
section "Universal" indicates fall prevention
measures should be standardized within 24
hours of the admission process, regardless to
risk or fall history.
A review of the facility's Fall Management
policy and procedure, dated March 15, 2016,
indicated patients will be assessed for falls risk

Those determined to be at risk will receive
appropriate interventions to reduce risk and
minimize injury. However, this did not happen.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure,
dated March 1, 2018, indicated the facility must
develop and implement a baseline personcentered care plan within 48 hours for each
patient that includes the instructions needs to
provide effective and person-centered care that
meet professional standards of quality care.
Documentation will show evidence of:
-Patient's goals and preferences;
-Patient status in triggered Care Area
Assessments (CAAs);
-Development of care planning interventions for
all CAA triggered by the MDS Nurse; and
rationale for not care planning for a specific
triggered CAA.
-The care plan will be reviewed and revised by
the interdisciplinary team after each
assessment.
Under Person-Centered Care: A
comprehensive, individualized care plan will be
developed within 7 days after completion of the
comprehensive assessment for each patient
that includes measurable objectives and
timetables to meet a patient medical, nursing,
nutrition, and mental and psychosocial needs
that are identified in the comprehensive
assessments.

1. Failing to ensure Resident 103, who was
assessed as always incontinent of urine and
bowel was provided bowel and bladder training
and/or a toileting program.
2. Failing to ensure a bowel and bladder
assessment was completed for Resident 53
and Resident 63, in order to determine if the
residents may benefit from a bladder and or
bowel training program.
These deficient practices resulted in continued
urinary incontinence for Resident 103, 53 and
63, and can negatively affect the residents'
psychosocial well-being, and had the potential
to place Resident 103 at risk for urinary tract
infection.

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.

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).
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.

A review of the physician orders dated August
28, 2018, indicated to provide Resident 119
with the following colostomy services:
1. Colostomy appliance change as needed;
2. Colostomy appliance change every three
days;
3. Colostomy care as needed; and
4. Colostomy care every shift
A review of the Resident 119's Treatment
Administration Record (TAR) from September
1, 2018 to October 4, 2018, did not indicate
that the nursing staff provided colostomy care
on an as needed basis. The TAR did not
indicate the licensed nurses provided
colostomy care on September 1, 4, 16, 20, 21,
and 22, 2018 during the 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. shift.
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, 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. When asked how not having his
needs met made him feel, Resident 119
responded that it made him feel "really sad."

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 12:19 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.
On October 4, 2018 at 12:07 p.m., during an
interview, LVN 7 stated that Resident 119 told
him (about the second week after admission)
that he changed his colostomy bag. 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 that the care

observation, Resident 119's colostomy bag
was full and was leaking.
On October 5, 2018 at 9 a.m., during an
interview in the presence of the Administrator
of the facility, Resident 119 stated that LVN 10
did not want to empty and/or change his
colostomy bag yesterday (October 4, 2018).
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.

§483.25(k) Pain Management.
The facility must ensure that pain management
is provided to residents who require such
services, consistent with professional
standards of practice, the comprehensive
person-centered care plan, and the residents'
goals and preferences.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the nursing staff failed to provide pain
management for one of 50 sampled residents
(Resident 139), who verbalized having pain in
her legs and stomach.
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 139
not receiving pain medication and the potential
to result in prolonged, unrelieved, unnecessary
pain.
Findings:
A review of the admission record indicated
Resident 139 was admitted into the facility on
September 5, 2018, with diagnoses that
included high blood pressure, heart failure (a
condition in which the heart can't pump enough
blood to meet the body's needs), and anemia
(lower-than-normal number of red blood cells or
hemoglobin (a protein in the blood).
A review of the History and Physical Report
completed on August 8, 2018, indicated
Resident 139 had the capacity to understand
and make medical decisions.
A review of Resident 139's Certificate of
Terminal Illness dated September 5, 2018,
indicated the resident was terminally ill and had
a life expectancy of less than six months.

five out of 10 on a zero to 10 pain rating scale
in her upper left abdomen.
A review of the Minimum Data Set (a
comprehensive assessment and care
screening tool) dated September 12, 2018,
indicated Resident 139 usually understood
others and was usually able to make herself
understood. The MDS indicated Resident 139
frequently complained of pain (five out of 10 on
a zero to 10 pain rating scale, zero being no
pain and 10 being the worst pain possible).
A review of Resident 139's Pain Evaluation
Form dated September 7, 2018, indicated the
resident experienced chronic (long term)
generalized pain (soreness) and that
medication made the pain feel better.
A review of Resident 139's physician orders
indicated the followings:
1. Monitor for pain ever shift, dated September
5, 2018.
2. Acetaminophen Tablet 325 milligrams (mg),

A review of the care plan initiated on
September 19, 2018, indicated Resident 139
exhibited or was at risk for alterations in
comfort related to heart failure. The goal
indicated Resident will achieve acceptable level
of pain control for 90 days. The care plan

A review of the facility policy and procedure
titled "Storage and Expiration, Dating of
Medications, Biologicals, Syringes, and
Needles" revised on October 31, 2016,
indicated, the facility should ensure that
medications and biologicals are stored at their
appropriate temperatures according to the
United States Pharmacopoeia guidelines for
temperature ranges (room temperatures 59 to
77 degrees Fahrenheit). The policy and
procedure indicated the facility should ensure
that medications and biologicals for expired,
discharged, or hospitalized residents are stored
separately, away from use, until destroyed or
returned to provider.
Based on observation, interview, and review of
facility documents, the facility failed to store of
drugs and biologicals in accordance with State
and Federal laws for two of four medication
storage rooms (Med Room 2, Med Room 1)
and for one of one medication cart on the

expired date on the label, and medications for
discharged or hospitalized residents were
stored separately in a designated secure
location and away from use until destroyed or

result in nursing staff administering expired
medications and/or medications of residents
not currently residing in the facility.

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 (an infection that begins in the
urinary system).
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a

screening tool) dated September 24, 2018,
indicated Resident 353's cognitive (mental
action or process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding) skills for daily decisions were
intact. The MDS indicated Resident 353
required extensive assistance for moving in
bed, transferring from bed to chair, dressing,
toilet use and personal hygiene. The MDS
indicated Resident 353 did not have any dental
issues such as obvious or likely cavity or
broken natural teeth.

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.
On October 4, 2018 at 3:05 p.m. during an
interview Licensed Vocational Nurse 12 (LVN
12) stated the past Sunday (September 30,
2018) Resident 353 told her she wanted to
have her teeth fixed. LVN 12 stated she told
Resident 353 she will inform the social worker
to help make the arrangement for the dentist.
On October 4, 2018 at 3:35 p.m. during an
interview Social Worker (SW 1) stated she did
not send a request for the resident to be seen
by the dentist. SW 1 stated "I slipped on this
one". SW 1 stated will informed the dentist to
see the resident tomorrow.

needs of the resident by:
1. Failing to ensure Resident 103 was provided
dental services as ordered by the physician.
2. Failing to ensure Resident 353 was provided
dental services for broken and missing teeth.
These deficient practices resulted in a delay of
necessary dental care for Resident 103 and
353, and placed the residents at risk for gum
and teeth diseases and can lead to altered
nutritional status such as weight loss.
Findings:
a. A review of the admission record indicated
Resident 103 was admitted to the facility on
August 3, 2018, with diagnoses that included
hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body),
muscle weakness, pressure ulcer (injury to skin
and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged
pressure on the skin) of the sacral region, and
abnormal gait and mobility.
A review of the History and Physical report
completed on August 6, 2018, indicated
Resident 103 was awake and alert.
A review of Resident 103's physician order
dated August 3, 2018, indicated to provide a
dental consult and treatment as needed for the
resident's health and comfort.
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS- a
comprehensive assessment and care

indicated Resident 103 had intact cognition and
required limited one person physical assistance
with eating. The MDS indicated Resident 103

dentist would then examine the residents
during the next scheduled visit. The SSD stated
she was unable to provide documented
evidence the dentist examined Resident 103.
The SSD stated that Resident 103 should have
received routine services.
On October 4, 2018 at 3:40 p.m., during a
follow-up interview, Resident 103 stated that he
had some missing lower teeth. When Resident
103 opened his mouth, missing teeth were
noted on the lower right corner of the resident's
gums.

During the same interview the DA stated, "I will
pick up the slips, and make the changes to the
resident diet cards every day. Then I staple all
of the slips together. I did not get a slip
yesterday for Resident 29." The DA reviewed
a stack of dietary communication slips that
were dated 10/3/18, and was unable to find the
corresponding white slip to the yellow slip
provided by LVN 1.

for eight of 50 sampled residents (Residents
103, 139, 119, 92, 85, 82, 53 and 100) and for
six out of seven residents in attendance during
the Group Meeting.
This deficient practice had the potential to
impact the resident's nutritional status, quality
of life and can lead to insufficient food intake.

initials, but no box was checked to indicate the
quaternary solution reading at that time.
During a concurrent interview with KDM on
10/2/18 at 7:26 a.m., she stated the sanitizing
bucket is used to sanitize food preparation and
serving areas and should be checked at the
beginning of the shift, "whenever it looks dirty",
and the morning staff should have recorded the
test reading that morning at 6:30 a.m., when
the log was signed. On 10/2/18 at 7:30 a.m.,
the KDM used the quaternary test strips to
check the solution strength. The color of the
strip corresponded to the test strip packaging
as 150 parts per million (ppm). This reading
was validated by the KDM.
During a follow up tour of kitchen areas on
10/4/18 at 7:10 a.m., a review of the "Quat Log"
for September to October 2018, indicated that
the Kitchen Staff (KS 1) had written that day's
date and the time "6:30" and his initials, but no
box was checked to indicate the reading at that
time. The KDM stated that the test reading
should have been marked, but KS 1 had not
done it again.
The facility policy and procedure titled "4.3
Manual Warewashing and Sanitizing" dated
6/15/16, indicated:
3. If chemically sanitizing, the Director of Dining
Services / Director of Culinary Services or
designee tests the solution strength during
each period using quaternary test strips.
3.3 The color of the strip is checked against the
strip container. The test strip will darken to the
range of 200-400 ppm (unless a different range
is indicated by the manufacturer) for the proper
solution strength.
3.4 If test strip does not turn the appropriate

§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).

A review of the History and Physical report
completed on October 3, 2018, indicated that
Resident 300 was awake, alert, and oriented to
person, place, and time.
On October 5, 2018 at 4:55 p.m., during an
observation. Resident 300 was up in a chair by
the foot of the bed. A ceiling suspended privacy
curtain was not noted. During a concurrent
interview, Resident 300 stated there had not
been any curtain since his admission into the
facility.
On October 5, 2018 at 4:57 p.m., during an
interview, regarding Resident 300's curtain,
the Housekeeper Supervisor (HS) stated that
he would provide a privacy curtain.
On October 5, 2018 at 4:59 p.m., during an
interview, Licensed Vocational Nurse 6 (LVN 6)
stated that she provided wound treatment
earlier during the day and did not notice the
resident did not have privacy curtain.
A review of the facility's revised policy dated
November 28, 2016, titled "Privacy Rights:
Patient" indicated that the patient has a right to
personal privacy and confidentiality of his/her
personal and medical records. Personal privacy
includes accommodations, medical treatment,
written, telephone and electronic
communications, personal care, visits, and
meeting family and patient groups.
