Resident 77 experiencing negative feelings and
a loss of dignity.
Findings:
During an observation on 3/16/18, at 8:01 a.m.,
Resident 77 was observed in bed, alert, sitting
up, and eating breakfast. Resident 77 was
leaning to the left side, her gown was halfway
down her chest area, exposing the upper half
of her chest, and there were food particles
noted on the bare skin of her upper chest area.
During an interview on 3/16/18, at 8:06 a.m.,
Licensed Vocational Nurse 10 (LVN 10)
confirmed that during breakfast time, Resident
77 had no towel bib to catch falling food, her
gown was halfway down her chest, and food
was on her skin. LVN 10 stated Resident 77's
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) did not place
a towel bib for her, and Resident 77 should
have had a clothe protector place over the
resident's chest.
During an interview on 3/16/18, at 8:10 a.m.,
Resident 77 stated she preferred to have clothe
protector during meals. Resident 77 stated it
"feels no good" to have her chest area half
exposed and food pieces on her.
During an interview on 3/16/18, at 8:13 a.m.,
CNA 5 stated she was Resident 77's CNA that
morning. CNA 5 stated she would normally get
Resident 77 ready for breakfast by positioning
Resident 77 upright, and placing a towel bib
over her chest, but today she did not place the
clothe protector. CNA 5 stated Resident 77
needed the towel bib to catch food because
food would fall on her due to her hands lacking
coordination. She stated she should have
gotten the clothe protector.

Resident 77 was admitted to the facility on
3/24/17, with diagnoses of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (a lung disease
characterized by long term poor airflow),
osteoarthritis (a joint disease that mostly affects
the cartilage [the slippery tissue that covers the
ends of bones]), muscle weakness, left-sided
hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body),
and hemiparesis (muscle weakness or partial
paralysis of one side of the body).
A review of Resident 77's Minimum Data Set
(MDS, a comprehensive standardized
assessment and care screening tool), dated
2/5/18, indicated that Resident 77 had
moderate impairment in cognition (refers to
mental abilities or processes), and required
extensive assistance from staff with activities of
daily living (ADLs), which included eating,
toileting, dressing, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 77's care plan, revised on
2/16/18, indicated that Resident 77 had selfcare deficits with the goal that Resident 77 will
be clean, dry, and well groomed. The care
plan indicated that the goal was for staff to
assist Resident 77 with ADLs as needed and
maintain the resident's privacy.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure,
titled "Assisting the Resident with In-room
Meals," revised on 12/2013, indicated that the
facility was to provide for any special needs of
the residents who eat in their room and
assemble needed equipment and supplies,
which included wash cloth and towel.

involving abuse, neglect, exploitation or
mistreatment, including injuries of unknown
source and misappropriation of resident
property, are reported immediately, but not
later than 2 hours after the allegation is made,

A facility reported incident regarding staff to
resident abuse was investigated during the
facility's recertification survey.
A review of the clinical record indicated
Resident 324 was admitted to the facility on
12/15/17 with diagnoses that included end
stage renal disease (ESRD, a medical
condition in which a person's kidneys cease
functioning on a permanent basis, dependence
on renal dialysis [procedure to remove wastes
or toxins from the blood and adjust fluid and
electrolyte imbalances]), quadriplegia (paralysis
of all four limbs), and spinal cord compression (
caused by any condition that puts pressure on
the spinal cord).
A review of the admission Minimum Data Set
(MDS - a standardized assessment and care
planning tool), dated 12/22/17 indicated
Resident 324's cognition was moderately
impaired. Resident 324 required total
dependence (full staff performance every time)
in performing activities of daily living such as
bed mobility, dressing, toilet use and personal
hygiene with one person physical assist.
On 3/12/18 at 3:15 p.m., during an initial tour of
the facility, Resident 324 complained he was
"roughly handled by a staff" and felt
"inhumanely treated". Resident 324 stated a
female Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 1 that
works from 11 p.m. - 7 a.m. shift) did not like
him since admission. Resident 324 stated "She
handled me very rough. She used vulgar words
and she would make comments if I have a
bowel movement like 'Oh my God, look at this'.
She made me feel inhuman, I even told her try
being quadriplegic yourself". Resident 324
stated CNA 1 would let him sat on his own
feces and she will clean him last. Resident 324
added that CNA 1 will look at him angry if he

one incident CNA 1 grabbed a friend and
stated "come see this guy" and resident said he
did not like what she did. Resident 324 stated
"She scrubbed me hard, I had abrasive scars
from her strong scrubbing. She uses a solution
I don't know what, she never told me what the
solution was but when she poured it on me, it
burned me. I felt scared every time I heard her
voice." Resident 324 stated he had enough of
the CNA's behavior so he reported to the
charge nurse and facility staff approximately
three weeks ago.
On 3/13/18, at 9:35 a.m., an interview was
conducted with the facility's administrator who
stated the facility received a grievance from
Resident 324 that he felt CNA 1 was "too short
with him" and "he was upset". The
Administrator indicated the resident felt CNA 1
was rough with him. The Administrator stated
he did not report the incident to the licensing
department since there was no indication for
him to believe there was an abuse that
happened. The Administrator confirmed the
resident made a complaint that CNA 1 was
rough with him. The Administrator indicated a
grievance can be a complaint and he should
have reported the incident to the licensing
department to be investigated.
On 3/13/18, at 10:10 am, an interview was
conducted with the facility's director of staff
development (DSD) assistant who stated,"
Maybe 2 months ago, one day I noticed the
resident was quiet and he was different that
day. I asked him what was wrong and he told
me the 11 p.m.-7 a.m. female nurse did not
treat him professionally. He told me the female
nurse was unprofessional, making jokes on the
consistency of his diarrhea. He stated to me he
did not enjoy the care and the nurse was too
rough. He stated he would appreciate if another

nurse would take care of him. I immediately
told my charge nurse that my patient was
uncomfortable and that a female nurse did not
treat him right".
On 3/13/18 at 2:40 p.m., an interview was
conducted with the facility's Registered Nurse
(RN 1) who stated she did not know the
specific incident and all she remembered was
that Resident 324 made a complaint about the
11 p.m.-a.m. shift CNA and that he did not
want the same CNA to be assigned to him.
On 3/13/18, at 3:10 p.m. an interview was
conducted with the facility's Director of Nursing
(DON) who stated the charge nurse reported to
her that Resident 324 complained that CNA 1
went to his room and called another nurse and
the 2 staff made a comment that he was soiled.
DON stated the resident claimed the nurse was
laughing about his stool. The DON confirmed
the resident's grievance was not reported to the
licensing department based on the
administrator's conclusion that the incident is
not something that the staff had intent or will to
do harm to the resident as it was a
miscommunication. The DON indicated a
grievance and a complaint are the same and all
allegations of abuse had to be reported to the
licensing department for investigation.
On 3/13/18 at 3:30 p.m., an interview was
conducted with the facility's Director of Staff
Development (DSD) who stated the incident
was reported to her by her DSD assistant who
stated Resident 324 was uncomfortable with
brief change from the female CNA as she was
"kind of rough to the resident". DSD stated "I
interviewed the resident and he did say he was
uncomfortable that the staff left him after
checking his soiled diaper". DSD stated the
CNA wanted to show to the charge nurse that

soiled diaper. DSD indicated all allegations of
abuse had to be reported to the licensing
department for investigation.
A review of the facility's Verification of Incident
Investigation/Administrative Summary indicated
the date of incident was on 2/11/18 night shift.
Brief description of the incident indicated on
2/11/18 resident complained that when his
nurse assistant came into his room to change
him and saw his soiled brief, she turned away
disgusted and commented to another nurse.
Resident did not hear what she said and
thought she may have been commenting about
how gross he was due to his being soiled. He
also stated that he felt she could have been
more gentle while cleaning him up. On 2/14/18
the investigation was concluded.
A review of the facility's undated policy and
procedure titled" Abuse Allegation Reporting"
indicated the administrator/abuse coordinator
will report all alleged violations to the DHS
within 24 hours and the Ombudsman within 48
hours utilizing the SOC 341. This initial
reporting may include the allegation,
suspension and continuing investigation. The
results of all abuse allegations will be reported
to the DHS and Ombudsman within five (5)
working days and if the violation is
substantiated, the appropriate corrective
actions was taken, including the notification of
the appropriate licensing /certification board of
the alleged perpetrator.

Maybe 2 months ago, one day I noticed the
resident was quiet and he was different that
day. I asked him what was wrong and he told
me the 11 p.m.-7 a.m. female nurse did not
treat him professionally. He told me the female
nurse was unprofessional, making jokes on the
consistency of his diarrhea. He stated to me he
did not enjoy the care and the nurse was too
rough. He stated he would appreciate if another
nurse would take care of him. I immediately
told my charge nurse that my patient was
uncomfortable and that a female nurse did not
treat him right".

§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 interview, and record review, the
facility's staff failed to accurately code the
medication the residents were taking at the
time of the assessment in the Minimum Data
Set (MDS, a standardized resident assessment
and care planning tool) for two of 27 sampled
residents (Residents 7 and 19). For Residents
7 and 19, the latest quarterly MDS assessment
, dated 2/15/18, and 12/1/18, indicated
Residents 7 and 19 were receiving an
anticoagulant (medications used to prevent the
formation of blood clots) medication but
Residents 7 and 19 were not on any
anticoagulant medication. The inaccurate
assessment on the MDS had the potential for
residents to receive, or not receive, services
that could cause harm on the residents'
physical and emotional well-being.

Nursing Assistant (RNA) to assist the resident
with ambulation with front wheeled walker, as
tolerated, every day, 5 times a week.
A review of Resident 46's RNA flowsheet,
dated from 3/1/18 to 3/31/18, indicated the
resident tolerated RNA ambulation with front
wheel walker on 3/1/18, 3/2/18, 3/5/18, 3/6/18,
3/7/18, 3/8/18, 3/19/18, 3/12/18, 3/13/18,
3/14/18, and 3/15/18 for 15 minutes each

A review of Resident 46's care plan indicated
there was no care plan initiated for RNA
ambulation with the front wheel walker, 5 times
a week, as ordered.
During a review of Resident 46's care plan, and
a concurrent interview was conducted with
Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1), on 3/14/18, at
10:00 a.m., she stated there was no care plan
initiated for Resident 46 for RNA ambulation
with front wheel walker, 5 times a week, as
ordered. RN 1 stated the care plan identifies
specific goal and approaches/interventions on
how to reach the goal for the benefit of the
resident. RN 1 stated the care plan will serve
as a guide for all disciplines (nursing, rehab,
etc.) to follow specific interventions for the
resident.

A review of Resident 65's Physician Order,
dated 2/13/18, indicated the resident was
admitted to hospice (medical service designed
to give supportive care to people in the final
phase of a terminal illness and focus on
comfort and quality of life) starting 12/14/17
with diagnosis of CVA (Cerebrovascular
Disease includes all disorders in which an area
of the brain is temporarily or permanently
affected by bleeding or lack of blood flow).
A review of Resident 65's MDS, dated
12/22/17, indicated the resident's cognitive
skills for daily decision making was severely
impaired. Resident 65 required total
dependence (full staff performance) with bed
mobility, transfer, locomotion on and off unit,
dressing, eating, toilet use and personal
hygiene. The MDS indicated the resident was
at risk of developing pressure ulcers.
A review of Resident 65's care plan, dated
1/3/18, indicated the resident was at risk for
developing pressure sore, bruising, and other
types of skin breakdown related to reduced
mobility, impaired cognition, fragile skin,
hemiparesis/hemiplegia and terminal illness.
The approached intervention was to provide
pressure relieving devices as needed.
On 3/14/18, at 10:05 a.m. Resident 65 was
observed sleeping in bed with heel protector on
the right foot while the left foot had heel
protector but not secured. The heel protector
straps were unfastened and the left foot was
lying directly on the mattress.

Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 2) who
confirmed Resident 65 had heel protector on
the right foot while the left foot had heel
protector but not secured and left foot was lying
directly on the mattress. LVN 2 indicated heel
protectors are applied for prevention of
pressure ulcer and for skin maintenance.
On 3/14/18 at 10; 15 a.m., an interview was
conducted with the facility's Director of Nursing
(DON) who stated the use of heel protector
should be written in the care plan. The DON
stated a care plan was initiated on the use of
pressure relieving device but not specific to
heel protector use for Resident 65 who was at
risk for developing pressure injury. The DON
stated the care plan should be individualized
and specific to each resident and the facility
needed to be specific with interventions written
in the plan of care. The DON stated the use of
heel protector is a nursing measure to prevent
pressure injury.
A review of the facility's undated policy and
procedure titled," Procedure: Heel
Protectors/Heel Floating Device," indicated the
objective of heel protectors/heel floating device
is to protect skin from pressure and irritation.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure one of 27
sampled residents (Resident 325) was
provided with care and services to prevent,
maintain or improve the resident's
communication abilities by failing to:
1. Ensure the call light (bedside button in a
resident's room which directs a signal to
indicate that the resident has a need or
perceived need requiring attention from staff)
was within the resident's reach.
2. Ensure the communication board was readily
accessible for the resident to use.
These deficient practices had the potential to
result in the resident's needs not effectively
conveyed to staff and that could lead to a
decline in the resident's quality of life.
Findings:
A review of Resident 325's clinical record
indicated the resident was admitted to the
facility on 11/16/17 with diagnosis that included
cerebral infarction (type of ischemic [deficient
supply of blood] stroke [sudden death of brain
cells in a localized area due to inadequate
blood flow] resulting from a blockage in the
blood vessels supplying blood to the brain),
and epilepsy (brain disorder in which a person
has repeated seizures/convulsions over time.
Seizures are episodes of disturbed brain
activity that cause changes in attention or
behavior).

extensive assistance with bed mobility,
transfer, locomotion off unit, dressing, eating,
toilet use and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 325's care plan, dated
12/8/17, indicated the resident had cognitive
and communication deficit manifested by short
and long term memory problem, problems
making self understood and no speech. The
resident's diagnosis included aphasia, CVA
(blood flow to a part of the brain is stopped
either by a blockage or the rupture of a blood
vessel) right sided hemiparesis (muscular
weakness of one half of the body), and
dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing). The
Identified approaches included:
- Acknowledge and support verbal, nonverbal
expressions
- Keep call light within reach
- Translator/communication devices as
indicated
On 3/12/18, at 2:25 p.m.., during an initial tour
of the facility with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1
(LVN 1) Resident 325 was observed awake
lying in bed, non verbal but alert. Resident
325's call light was observed dangling on the
bed's side rail on the right side of the bed. The
call light was not within the resident's reach,
and there was no communication board
accessible for the resident to use.
On 3/12/18, at 2:30 p.m., an interview was

light was not within Resident 325's reach and
there was no communication board available
for the resident to use. LVN 1 stated Resident
325 was nonverbal, and the call light must be

communication board must be with the resident
at all times and should be readily accessible.
A review of the facility's undated policy and
procedure, titled" Call Lights," indicated the
purpose of the policy is to assure that residents
receive prompt assistance. Nursing staff must
ensure the call light is within the resident's
reach when the resident is in his/her room or

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to provide the
necessary services for two of 27 sampled
residents (Residents 74 and 73).
a. For Resident 74, the facility failed to provide
padded siderails as indicated in the resident's
plan of care.
b. For Resident 73, the facility failed to provide
Ativan (medication to treat anxiety) as
indicated.
These failures had the potential for the resident
to be injured in the event of a seizure for
Resident 74, and the potential to affect
Resident 73's improvement in behavior.
Findings:
a. During the initial tour on 03/12/18, at 1:40
PM, Resident 74 was in bed and the resident
was not able to respond to questions. Resident
74's bilateral side rails were up with no
padding.

Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure one of 27
sampled residents (Residents 68) who has a
urinary indwelling catheter (a tube inside that
removes urine from the bladder to a collection
bag) receive appropriate care by failing to:
a. keep the urinary indwelling catheter secured
and anchored.
b. follow the Physician's Order to assess the
urinary indwelling catheter for urinary tract
infection (UTI), every shift from 3/1/18 to
3/10/18.
These deficient practices had the potential to
result in catheter related complications such as
urethral tear (injury to the urethra [tube-like
organ that carries urine from the bladder out of
the body] or catheter dislodgement, delay in
care, treatment, and possible infection.

A review of Resident 68's Minimum Data Set
(MDS, standardized assessment and care
screening tool), dated 1/13/1,8 indicated
Resident 68's brief interview of mental status
(BIMS, screening that aids in detecting
cognitive impairment) score was 6 (a score of 1
-7 reflects severe cognitive [mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding] impairment). The MDS
indicated Resident 68 required extensive
assistance with bed mobility, dressing, eating,
personal hygiene and was totally dependent on
staff for transfers, locomotion, toilet use, and
bathing. MDS also indicated that Resident 68
had an indwelling catheter and was incontinent
of bowel movement.
On 3/12/18 at 2:25 p.m., during an observation
of Resident 68's catheter and a concurrent
interview was conducted with Licensed
Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3), she stated that
Resident 68's catheter was not secured. LVN 3
stated that it was important to secure it with a
leg bag (which the facility uses) to avoid
accidental dislodgment or pulling to prevent
trauma and reinsertion of Foley catheter.

care daily, monitor signs and symptoms of UTI,
change bedside drainage bag every week and
as needed, and change Foley catheter as
needed.
According to Spring house Nursing procedures,
Third edition, the indwelling urinary catheter is
used most often to relieve bladder distention
caused by urine retention. The procedures
indicated that after the insertion of the

Based on interview, and record review, the
facility failed to ensure that residents who
require dialysis receive services consistent with
professional standards of practice for one of 27
sampled residents (Resident 46). For Resident
46, there was inaccurate documentation on the
dialysis communication form, and inconsistent
assessment of the pre and post dialysis on
several occasions. These deficient practices
had the potential to result in inaccurate
assessment, and had the potential to result in
significant adverse consequences for the
resident.
Findings:
A review of Resident 46's clinical record
indicated the resident was admitted to the
facility on 9/6/17 and was readmitted on
1/29/18 with diagnoses that included end stage
renal disease (ESRD, a medical condition in
which a person's kidneys cease functioning on
a permanent basis, dependence on renal
dialysis [procedure to remove metabolic waste
products or toxic substances from the
bloodstream]), difficulty in walking, and muscle
weakness.
A review of Resident 46's Minimum Data Set
(MDS, standardized assessment and care
planning tool), dated 9/13/17, indicated the
resident's was cognitively intact. The MDS
indicated Resident 46 required total
dependence (full staff performance) with bed
mobility, transfer, locomotion on and off unit,
dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal
hygiene.
A review of the Physician's Order for Resident
46 indicated hemodialysis to be done
outpatient with treatment days on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday. (Order date- 1/29/18;

A review of Resident 46's Dialysis
Communication Record indicated the following:
1. On 3/13/18- Pre Dialysis Assessment:
Access Site: bruit and thrill present. Post
Dialysis Assessment- Bleeding at access site
not assessed.
2. On 3/10/18- Post Dialysis AssessmentBleeding at access site not assessed.
3. On 3/8/18- Pre Dialysis Assessment: Access

Assessment- Bleeding at access site not
assessed.
5. On 2/27/18- Post Dialysis AssessmentBleeding at access site not assessed.
On 3/14/18, at 3:40 p.m., an interview was
conducted with the facility's Director of Nursing
(DON) she stated the pre dialysis assessment
was inaccurately done on 3/13/18, 3/8/18, and
3/1/18. The DON stated the bruit and thrill
cannot be assessed for Resident 46 since his
access site is a perma cath and not an AV
shunt (connection that shunts blood from an
artery to a vein, bypassing the microscopic
network in the tissues that normally connect
them which allows a high blood flow access for
pulling blood from the body to the dialysis
filter). The DON stated the access site must be
assessed for bleeding post dialysis. The DON
stated the access site was not assessed post
dialysis on 3/13/18, 3/10/18, 3/8/18, 3/1/18 and
2/27/18. The DON stated the facility uses the
dialysis communication record to coordinate
care between facility and dialysis center.

of sadness and loss of interest]), and Trileptal
(for mood disorder) were not monitored as
ordered.
These failures had the potential to result in
significant adverse (harmful) consequences to
the resident.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 73's Admission Face
Sheet indicated the resident was admitted to
the facility on 1/5/18 with diagnoses that
included congestive heart failure (CHF, heart
muscle is weakened and cannot pump enough
blood to meet the body's needs for blood and
oxygen), dementia (decline in mental ability
severe enough to interfere with daily life), and
respiratory failure (loss of the ability to ventilate
adequately or to provide sufficient oxygen to
the blood and multiple organs).
A review of Resident 73's Minimum Data Set
(MDS, standardized assessment and care
planning tool), dated 1/12/18, indicated
Resident 73's brief interview for mental status
(BIMS, brief screening that aids in detecting
cognitive impairment) score was 12 (a score of
8-12 indicated moderately impaired cognitive
skills for daily decision making). The MDS
indicated Resident 73 required extensive
assistance with bed mobility, transfer, dressing,
toilet use, personal hygiene, locomotion, and
bathing.
On 3/13/18 at 7:28 a.m. Resident 73 was
observed in bed sleeping with oxygen on at
three LPM via nasal cannula.
A review of Resident 73's Physician's order,
dated 3/12/18, indicated Lorazepam 1 milligram

restlessness/agitation.
On 3/14/18 at 9:46 a.m., during a concurrent
record review and an interview with Licensed
Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4), she stated that
Resident 73's Physician Order for Ativan did
not have a specific behavior for nurses to
monitor. LVN 4 stated that the indication which
was anxiety for restlessness and agitation was
too general. LVN 4 stated that it was important
for nursing staff to monitor specific behavior in
order to be able to monitor the effectiveness of
medication. Further review of Resident 73's
clinical record indicated a care plan was not
developed to address Resident 73's use of
antianxiety medication. LVN 4 stated that it was
important to have a care plan to guide the staff
in managing Resident 73's behavior through
the use of both pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions.
b. A reivew of Resident 68's clinical record
indicated the resident was admitted to the
facility on 1/7/18 with diagnoses that included
cerebral infarction (area of dead tissue in the
brain resulting from blockage of blood supply),
dementia (decline in mental ability severe
enough to interfere with daily life), right side
hemiplegia (loss of muscle movement on one
side of the body), ride side hemiparesis
(weakness of one side of the body),
hypertension (chronic elevated blood
pressure), and general muscle weakness.

(antipsychotic, drug used to treat psychosis
which is a serious mental disorder
characterized by defective or lost contact with
reality often with hallucinations or delusions,
and other mental and emotional conditions), 25
milligrams (mg), by mouth, twice a day for
psychotic disorder, manifested by paranoid
thinking.
On 3/14/18 3:19 p.m., during a concurrent
record review and interview with Licensed
Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4), she stated that
Resident 68 was being given Seroquel for
Paranoid (characterized by suspiciousness)
thinking. LVN 4 stated that the manifestation of
paranoid thinking was not specific. LVN 4
added that Resident 68 specific behavior
manifestation was verbalization that someone
will harm her. LVN 4 stated that it was
important that a specific behavior was
monitored to be able to use this information for
gradual dose reduction.
A review of Resident 68's care plan titled
"Psychotropic Drug Use," dated 1/8/18,
included staff interventions were to monitor
behavior as ordered, utilize alternative
interventions such as redirection, activity, 1:1
visits as needed for behavior management,
monitor response to medication as needed,

c. A review of the clinical record indicated
Resident 41 was admitted to the facility on
6/15/16 and was readmitted on 10/26/17 with
diagnoses that included adjustment disorder
with mixed disturbance of emotions and
conduct, mood disorder due to known
physiological conditions, unspecified and
unspecified dementia (long term and often
gradual decrease in the ability to think and
remember severe enough to affect a person's
daily functioning) with behavioral disturbance.
The Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized

moderately impaired. Resident 41 required
extensive assistance (resident involved in
activity, staff provide weight bearing support)

Resident 41 required total dependence (full
staff performance) with transfer, locomotion on

from the physician to determine terminal illness

hospice benefit should be current as a
documented evidence that the resident
remained qualified for hospice service. RN 1
stated the certification of hospice benefit was
effective 12/14/17 to 3/13/18, and it was
expired and is no longer valid.

procedure titled" Hospice ServicesCoordination of Services," indicated the facility
will provide services for hospice residents that
are coordinated with the hospice staff.b. A
review of Resident 73's Admission Face Sheet
indicated the resident was admitted to the
facility on 1/5/18 with diagnoses that included
congestive heart failure (CHF, heart muscle is
weakened and cannot pump enough blood to
meet the body's needs for blood and oxygen),
dementia (decline in mental ability severe
enough to interfere with daily life), and
respiratory failure (loss of the ability to ventilate
adequately or to provide sufficient oxygen to
the blood and multiple organs).
A review of Resident 73's MDS, dated 1/12/18,
indicated the resident's brief interview for
mental status (BIMS, brief screening that aids
in detecting cognitive impairment) score was 12
(a score of 8-12 indicated moderately impaired
cognitive skills for daily decision making). The
MDS indicated Resident 73 required extensive
assistance with bed mobility, transfer, dressing,
toilet use, personal hygiene, locomotion, and
bathing.
A review of Resident 73's Physician's Order,
dated 3/12/18, indicated to admit resident to
hospice care (designed to give supportive care
to people in the final phase of a terminal illness
and focus on comfort and quality of life, rather
than cure) under routine level of care.
