Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) after the
termination of Medicare Part A services (skilled
nursing services).
This failure had the potential for the residents
to not know their rights to appeal, including how
to appeal the discharge from Medicare part A
services.
Findings:
During a concurrent interview with the Social
Service Director (SSD) and record review of
Residents 14 and 16's medical record on
12/14/18, at 11:08 a.m., Residents 14 and 26
were given with the Skilled Nursing Facility
Beneficiary Protection Notification Review for
residents who received Medicare Part A
Services but were not provided with the
NOMNC form. The SSD indicated that she was
using the form before but not this year. The
SSD stated, "I have not been issuing the Notice
of Medicare Non-Coverage." The SSD further
stated Residents 14 and 26 did not receive any
information on how to appeal the discharge
from Medicare part A.
A review of Resident 14's SNF Beneficiary
Protection Notification Review, Resident 14's
Medicare Part A skilled services episode start
date was 6/14/18 and last covered day of Part
A service was 8/27/18.
A review of Resident 26's SNF Beneficiary
Protection Notification Review, Resident 26's
Medicare Part A skilled services episode start
date was 1/5/18 and last covered day of Part A
service was 3/16/18.
The facility initiated the discharge from
Medicare Part A services and the skilled benefit
days were not exhausted. Both residents are
still present in the facility.

Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to provide notification to
Ombudsman of a discharge for 1 of 2 sampled
residents (Resident 21).
This failure had the potential to result in
Resident 21 being inappropriately discharged
without added protection from Ombudsman
who advocates resident's rights and options.
Findings:
A review of Resident 21's face sheet indicated
that Resident 21 was admitted on 9/9/18.
A review of Resident 21's Notification of
Proposed Transfer/Discharge indicated
Resident 21 was discharged to General Acute
Care Hospital (GACH) on 12/8/18.
A review of Resident 21's medical record did
not indicate any document that the facility
notified the Ombudsman of Resident 21's
discharge.
On 12/13/18, at 10:24 a.m., during an interview
with the Social Service Director (SSD), she
stated that when the facility discharges a
resident, the facility should notify the resident,
their family, public guardian if any, and also the
Ombudsman. The SSD also stated the facility
notifies ombudsman on a weekly basis via fax
that includes Fax Cover Sheet, Notice of
Proposed Transfer/Discharge, Resident
Transfer Record and Monthly Ombudsman
Notification. The SSD also stated that they
normally do follow up calls after the
transmission of the faxes to the Ombudsman
making sure that the Ombudsman receives all
the documents the facility faxed. The SSD
admitted that there was no confirmation of
discharge notification to the Ombudsman.

(unintentional loss of urine) for 1 out of 2
residents (Resident 35). This failure had the
potential for Resident 35's preferences, goals
and care needs not to be met.
Findings:
A review of the Face Sheet indicated that
Resident 35 was admitted 11/20/18 with
diagnoses that include stress incontinence.
A review of Resident 35's Minimum Data Set
(MDS), a standardized assessment and care
planning tool dated 12/1/18, indicated a brief
interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 15
(a score of 13-15 indicates the resident as
intact cognition (thought process). The MDS
also indicated that Resident 35 required limited
assistance with one-person physical assist for
locomotion on unit, toilet use and personal
hygiene. Resident 35 required extensive
assistance with one-person physical assist for
locomotion off unit and dressing. The MDS also
indicated that Resident 35 was always
incontinent for urinary continence and
frequently incontinent for bowel continence
(inability to control bowel movemement).
During a concurrent interview with Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 and a record review
of Resident 35's medical record on 12/12/18, at
10:19 a.m., LVN 1 verified and stated that

incontinence, based on the resident's
comprehensive assessment, the facility must
ensure that a resident who is incontinent of
bowel receives appropriate treatment and

Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to correctly assess
bladder function and provide appropriate
treatment and services for resident who has
intermittent urinary incontinence for 1 of 3
sampled residents (Resident 19).
This failure did not provide necessary treatment
and care to maintain the resident's highest
practicable physical, mental, and emotional
well-being which could lead to the worsening of
Resident 19's urinary incontinence.
Findings
A review of Resident 19's face sheet indicated
admission on 10/26/18 with diagnoses that
included convulsions (uncontrolled shaking of
the body) and hypertension (high blood
pressure).
During an observation on 12/11/18, at 12:15
p.m., Resident 19 came out of bathroom sitting
in a wheel chair with his pants wet in middle
front area. Resident 19 was propelling himself
in a wheel chair using his left arm and left leg.

Director of Nursing (DON), she stated that she
conducted an admission bowel and bladder
assessment for Resident 19. The DON also
stated Resident 19 told her that he has
episodes of urinary incontinence. A review of
Resident 19's "Bowel and Bladder Assessment
Record," dated 10/26/18, indicated Resident 19
had urinary incontinence episodes once a
week or less. Further review of the document
indicated Resident 19 did not require bladder &
bowel training even with episodes of urinary
incontinence.
A review of the facility's policy titled, "Bowel
and Bladder Incontinence," dated 1/24/18
indicated "...Residents that are incontinent of
bladder or bowel will receive appropriate
treatment to prevent infections and to restore
continence to the extent possible. ie Bowel and

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to do a risk
assessment for bed entrapment before use of
bedrails for 1 out of 1 resident (Resident 188).
This failure had the potential for Resident 188
to have significant harm from bed entrapment.
Findings:
A review of Resident 188's Face Sheet
indicated an admission on 1/7/15 with
diagnoses that include schizophrenia (long
term mental disorder), dementia (chronic or
persistent disorder of the mental process
marked by memory disorders, personality
changes and impaired reasoning) and
osteoarthritis (degeneration of joint cartilage
and the underlying bone) of knee.

bed mobility and personal hygiene. Further
review of the MDS indicated Resident 188 was
totally dependent to staff and needed oneperson physical assistance for locomotion
on/off unit, dressing and toilet use.
During a concurrent observation and interview
with Resident 188 on 12/11/18, at 11:57 a.m.,
Resident 188 was observed lying in bed with
bilateral side rails up. Resident 188 stated that
she needs the side rails to stabilize herself in
bed.
During an interview on 12/14/18 at 8:31 a.m.,
the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated that
there was "no risk assessment for bed
entrapment" done before the use of the bed
rails for Resident 188.
During an interview on 12/14/18 at 11:42 a.m.,
the Maintenance Staff (MS) indicated that he
"did not do the risk for bed entrapment" for
Resident 188 before bedrail use. He said he
only "did the daily checking of the bedrails."
A review of the facility's Policy on "Bed Safety"
indicated the following:
"To try to prevent deaths/injuries from the beds
and related equipment (including the frame,
mattress, side rails, headboard, footboard and
bed accessories), the facility shall promote the
following approaches:
a. Inspection by maintenance staff of all beds
and related equipment as part of our regular
bed safety program to identify risks and
problems including potential entrapment risks;
b. Review that gaps within the bed system are

by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to ensure that only
licensed personnel have access to
medications, including controlled medications
(medications whose use is regulated), for
disposition.
This deficient practice had the potential for
diversion of controlled medications.
Findings:
On 12/13/18, at 3:23 p.m., during an interview
with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3, she
stated that all medications, including controlled
medications that were refused by the residents
and medications that fell on the floor will be

same bin for all medications, including
controlled medications for disposition.

This deficient practice had the potential for the
development and spread of infection if soiled
clothes were not washed using a sanitizing

Findings:
During an observation of the laundry room and
concurrent interview with the Laundry Services
Staff (LSS) on 12/14/18, at 9:04 a.m., the
facility washer was turned on and washing
colored clothes of the residents. The LSS
stated that "Residents' clothes with poop or
urine," were washed in the laundry room "using
detergent." The LSS also stated that she only
uses a sanitizing solution (Clorox bleach) when
she washes white clothes of the residents. The
LSS further stated that the residents use the
facility's laundry services for their personal
clothes.
During concurrent observation and interview on
12/14/18, at 9:20 a.m., the Maintenance Staff

temperature water as a means of sanitizing
personal clothes of the residents. The MS
checked the temperature of the water supplying

get in and out of wheelchairs. The residents
have sufficient freedom for movement. There is
sufficient room to provide proper care for
