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.

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 claimed at 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.

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".

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.

F641 04/15/2018 §483.20(g) Accuracy of Assessments. The assessment must accurately reflect the resident's status. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on 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.

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.

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.
