V6 couldn't' recall the date of the move and stated she did not document it but did confirm the incident was reported to V2, Administrator, at the time. V6 identified V18 Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) as the staff member who found R6 standing over R7 in bed and said she didn't understand why they would have moved her back to the hall across from his room knowing this information. V6 stated the alleged rape occurred just a short while after moving R7 back to her previous room which was across the hall from R6's room. R7's Progress Notes reviewed from 2/23/19 through 3/9/19 do not document any room changes as occurring at all. On 3/14/19 at 12:15 PM, V22, Activity Assistant, stated on 3/9/19, she was in her room when she heard yelling and ran down to R7's room where V13 was. V22 stated R6 was sitting on the bedside with his pants in his lap covering his genitalia and R7 was on the bed. V22 stated she assisted V6 with a visual exam of her peri area and stated, You could definitely tell there had been intercourse because there was semen at the vaginal area. V22 stated R6 knew he had done something wrong and in trouble by the way he acted. On 3/14/19 at 2:10 PM, V24, CNA, stated she was here 3/9/19 the alleged rape happened and was in the room when three staff, V6 the nurse, an activity person and another person (couldn't remember who) were examining her and stating they all saw semen on her and the bed clothes. On 3/14/19 at 3:20 PM, V20, CNA, stated on 3/9/19, she heard V13 yelling from R7's room and when she entered, R6 was naked grabbing at his clothes. V20 stated she assisted V6 with R7's exam. V20 stated R7 had semen on her panties and in the vaginal pubic hair. V20 stated she remembers R7 saying he was so over powering. V20 stated they had moved R7 off 300 Hall due to R6 being caught standing over while she (R7) slept and she couldn't imagine why they would have moved her back knowing that. V20 stated V21, CNA moved R7 from 200 hall back to 300 hall to her previous room just prior to the incident. On 3/14/19 at 3:42 PM, V21, CNA, stated she remembers an altercation occurring between two other residents on the 200 hall and having V12 tell her to move R7 back to her old room on 300 Hall around on 3/8/19. V21 stated none of the 3rd shift staff knew about the incident that occurred on 2/24/19 which was the cause of R7 being moved to the 200 Hall. V21 stated that no one's room is changed without V2, Administrator knowing it and giving permission. On 3/15/19 at 8:10 AM, V25, Police Detective, stated they were called the afternoon of 3/9/19 immediately after the assault occurred and stated it was reported to them that a sexual assault had occurred on a female resident from male resident. V25 stated they were told during interviews with staff that semen was found in R7's panties and in her pubic hair. V25 stated the investigation is still pending and a report is not yet finished. On 3/12/19 at 3:50 PM, V4, SSD, stated he was unaware of R6 having any sexual behaviors directed toward females or males. V4 states he has never known R6 to seek out R7. V4 was asked if he thought R6 was aware of wrongdoing and responded, I believe without a doubt in my mind, he knew what he was doing was wrong. V4 continued to stated I don't think he understood the gravity of the situation as he has impulse control issues. V4 stated he spoke with R6 following the incident and stated R6 said yes when asked if he and R7 had sexual intercourse. V4 stated the police did not arrest him nor did the family want to press charges. V4 stated he did not know why R7 was moved to 200 Hall even though V6, LPN, stated he did. V4 stated he understood R7 had two room changes since her admission but was not involved in either one of them. On 3/13/19 at 10:50AM, V14, R7's daughter/POA stated she was informed of the incident immediately after it occurred and was given very little detail. V14 stated her mother is severely demented and has no safety awareness. V14 stated she could hear her mother talking in the background immediately afterward and she didn't appear to be upset so she told them not to send her to the hospital as she didn't want to upset her. V14 stated her mother is nurturing and has a tendency to want to take care of everything for you. V14 stated her mother is not sexual at all but does touch and rub arms, etc. V14 stated one Friday night when she came in to see her, her mother's hallway door was shut along with the bathroom door in her room. V14 stated she finally checked the bathroom and R7 was not in there. V14 stated she then went out into the hall and asked the CNA (she didn't know his name but described as a black male) if he knew where her mother was. The male CNA stated he didn't and said Now we've got to look for her where we don't want to find her going directly to the closed door across the hall from her mother's room. V14 stated R7 was found in the room with R9 who was R6's roommate. V14 stated they were sitting on the bed and nothing sexual appeared to be going on. On 3/14/19 at 5:41 PM, V14 stated she was unsure as to why her mother's room had been changed several times during her short stay at the facility. V14 stated she was not notified of those changed or told why they moved her. V14 stated she was told at the time of the call on 3/9/19 that a sexual assault had occurred on her mother by another resident. V14 stated yes her mother would have been devastated had this occurred even 5 years ago. On 3/15/19 at 11:02 AM, V2 and V3 Director of Nurse (DON) stated neither knew of the incident that occurred on 2/24/19 between R6 and R7 when he was found trying to crawl into her bed as she slept. V2 stated she had been called the evening on 2/23/19, the night before, and told R7 had been going in and out of R6's room and he has inappropriate sexual behaviors. V2 stated she told them at that time to move her to 200 Hall to separate R6 from R9. V2 and V3 stated there is nothing documented in the clinical record regarding it. Both stated an incident report should also have been filed. R6's MDS dated [DATE] identifies him as a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].) The MDS also documents R6 to be independent in ambulation. R6's Care Plan revision date of 2/8/19 identifies him to have the following focused areas: physical/verbal aggression and mood problem r/t sexual activity: resident will offer to perform sexual acts on peer residents and will come into hall with genitals exposed. There have been no revisions done to R6's behavioral management plans in regard to his inappropriate behavior towards R7 even though it resulted in a room change for R7. On 3/15/19 at 8:48 AM, V16, Medical Director/Physician, stated she was familiar with both R6 and R7. V16 stated she was aware that R6 seemed impulsive in a sexual manner toward females because as she was assessing him, he was trying to touch her the whole time. V16 stated she was unaware of R6's inappropriate behavior toward R7 but her exchange was called on 2/24/19 with a message left which reported an incident occurring between R7 and R6 naming R6 specifically. V16 stated whenever the facility calls her exchange, they get a summary with no details. V16 stated on 3/9/19, she received a call from her on call service reporting a sexual assault on R7 by R6. V16 stated all staff should have been made aware of R6's behavior toward in R7 when the behavior first occurred and certainly after the incident on 2/24/19. V16 stated having uninformed staff is a dangerous thing and they need to document and communicate better to one another to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. V16 stated she considered this sexual assault as harm even though R7 is severely cognitively impaired. The facility's policy/procedure entitled Abuse Prevention and Reporting - Illinois dated 11/28/16 documents The resident has the right to be free from abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident property, and exploitation.

Based on interview, observations and record review, the facility failed to provide enteral feeding according to the physician's orders and failed to provide services including correct technique in flushes for 2 of 2 residents (R13, R4) reviewed for enteral feedings in a sample of 15. This failure resulted in an unplanned weight loss of 9.6 percent for R13 within 5 months. Findings include: 1. R13's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documented R13 [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The MDS documented R13 to have severe cognitive impairment with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 6 and was totally dependent on staff for all activities of daily living (ADL's) except bed mobility. The MDS documented R13 received enteral feeding (gastrostomy tube feedings) and oral pleasure feedings. R13's October 2017 Physician's Order Sheet (POS) documented R13 was to receive 85 cubic centimeters (cc) of [MEDICATION NAME] 1.5 for 20 hours from 10:00 AM until 6:00 AM (which calculates to 1700 cc) ordered 8/17/17. The POS also documented R13 to receive 200 cc water flushes every 4 hours. R13's Monthly Weight record documented R13's weight in March 2017 as 151.6 pounds and was stable through 7/5/17 when he was documented as weighing 150.8 pounds. R13's weight was documented on 8/9/17 as142.8 pounds, 9/6/17 as 137.9 pounds and on 10/18/17 as 136.8 pounds for a total loss of 14.6 pounds in 4 months or a 9.6 % weight loss. On 10/26/17 at 8:30 AM, R13 was in his room at bedside in his wheelchair. R13's tube feeding was not running. The 1500 bottle of [MEDICATION NAME] 1.5 cal had 300 cc left and was labeled as being hung at 10:00 AM on 10/25/17, the day before. Calculating R13's rate at 85 cc/hr (hour) for 20 hours, R13 should have received 1700 cc during this 20 hours period of time. R13's feeding for this time frame was lacking 500 cc or 750 calories. At 10:40 AM on 10/26/17, R13's tube feeding was connected and running via pump at 85 cc/hr. The 1500 cc bottle of [MEDICATION NAME] was labeled as being hung at 10:20 AM on 10/26/17. On 10/26/17 at 3:25 PM, E10, Registered Dietician (RD), stated R13 should have used a whole bottle and 200 cc of the second bottle from 10 AM to 6 AM or 20 hours confirming that R13 was shorted 500 cc. E10 acknowledged that R13 had significant weight loss in the past few months and she had increased his tube feeding accordingly in an effort to decrease the unplanned weight loss. A Nutritional Assessment, dated 5/15/17 and completed by E10, documents R13's tube feeding as [MEDICATION NAME] 1.5 at 60 ml (milliliters) x (times) 16 hours with a flush of 200 cc every 6 hours. R13's BMI (Body Mass Index) was 20.7 with no weight change identified. The Comment documented R13 to havegradual weight loss 5/10 148.4 # (pounds), 11/10/16 158#, 5/16/16 151# BMI remains WNL (within Normal Limits.) The comment continues good tolerance, no residuals. On 5/17/17, E10 increased the [MEDICATION NAME] 1.5 to 75 ml (milliliters) x 16 hours per continuous nocturnal feeding starting at 3 PM and stop at 6 AM. Calculated out at 75 cc x 16 hours indicate R13 should receive 1200 cc per feeding or 1800 calories. A Nutritional Assessment, dated 8/16/17 and completed by E10 documents Resident w/gradual wt (weight) loss noted 7/5 150.8l 8/2 142.8# (8# 5.3% loss x 1/mo (month). BMI barely WNL (Within Normal Limits). Oral feedings offered w/minimal intake, nutritional needs provided via [DEVICE] (gastrostomy tube) which resident was recently pulling on, TF (tube feeding) stopped briefly, currently running w/o (without) difficulty. E10 recommended an increase in feeding and documented Wt (weight) down - Please increase TF [MEDICATION NAME] 1.5 at 75 cc x 20 hours Flush 150 cc every 4 hrs (hours.) This order was not obtained until 8/21, 5 days later. Calculated out for 20 hours at 75 cc/hour, R13 should receive 1500 cc of [MEDICATION NAME] per feeding. The August 2017 Medication Administration Record [REDACTED]. Intakes were recorded for evening and night shifts. The September 2017 MAR indicated [REDACTED]. Again, the [MEDICATION NAME] intake was recorded for evening and night shifts only with intakes being less than ordered numerous times. The largest amount of [MEDICATION NAME] recorded as given to R13 during this time was 1323 cc and the least amount recorded was 840 cc. A Dietary Note written by E10, dated 9/27/17, documented R13's weight as 138 pounds, BMI 19.2 barely remains WNL. [MEDICATION NAME] 1.5 continues to be well tolerated with no recommendations made. A Dietary note completed by E10, dated 10/11/17, documents Enteral note for resident w(with)/slow continued wt (weight) loss. 10/11 135.4# (pounds), 9/13 137.6#, 7/12 149.8#/ BMI 18.9 now underweight. Pureed diet w pudding thick liquids continues w/fair/good intakes per meal record, majority of nutrition provided via tube feeding [MEDICATION NAME] 1.5 @ (at) 75 cc/hr x 16/hr w 150 cc flush every 4 hours. Skin intact, no [MEDICAL CONDITION], no new labs. Recommend increasing [MEDICATION NAME] 1.5 to 85 cc/hr x 16 hrs w flush 150 cc q (every) 4 hrs and Monitor for safe swallow during meals, monitor tolerance and residuals. RD will continue to follow or refer PRN (as needed). A telephone order shows the feeding increase was not obtained until 10/17/17, 6 days later. E10's Note of 10/25/17 documented f/u (follow up) to confirm that prior recommendation to increase tube feeding and flushes have been implemented. Wt 136.8#, Good tolerance continues. The October 2017 MAR indicated [REDACTED]@ (at) 75 ml x 16 hrs per continuous nocturnal feeding start at 3 PM and stop at 6 AM. The amounts infused document intakes less than amount required/ordered at times with the least amount recorded in a 16 hour period of time as 656 cc with the most recorded as 1340 cc. The MAR indicated [REDACTED]. Calculated on 85 cc per 20 hours, R13 should receive 1700 cc/feeding which calculates to 2550 calories. The October 2017 MAR indicated [REDACTED]. Intakes recorded documented the least amount R13 received in this time from 10/17/17 through 10/26/17 as 880 cc (9/20/17) and the most recorded intake being 1180 cc on 10/18/17. Calculating the [MEDICATION NAME] at 1.5 calories per cc, R13 received only 1320 calories on 9/20/17 and only 1770 calories per feeding. A Nutritional note, dated 10/11/17 by E10, documented, Addendum: recommend increase flush to 200 cc/q/4hrs. The Dietary initial/Quarterly/Annual note, completed by E10 on 10/26/17, documented R13's current order as Pleasure feeding @ (at) breakfast and lunch. Pudding consistency and Tube fed [MEDICATION NAME] 1.5 @ 85 ml cont (continue) on at 1000 (10 AM) off at 0600 (6 AM). The Comment section documented by E10 documents, Nurse to calculate total feeding tube intake in part. R13's Care Plan, dated 8/28/17, documented him to require a tube feeding due to history of aspiration, dementia and difficulty swallowing. The Care Plan identifies the pleasure feedings. The goal was for R13 to maintain adequate nutritional status via tube feedings thru next review with intervention documenting staff to flush tube as ordered, elevate head of bed, record intake every shift, [MEDICATION NAME] as ordered, RD evaluation as needed, nurse to re connect tube feeding if noted to be disconnected, pleasure feedings as desired, and report significant weight changes to MD (Physician) and RD. On 10/25/17 at 3:00 PM, E4, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), was asked about documenting total intake for the shift and stated they document it in the MAR, but do not calculate a 24 hour intake to check total amount infused. On 10/26/17 at 2:30 PM, E4 stated the facility messed up and stated they are looking at the pump as not working correctly. At 4:00 PM, E4 stated they had been checking the pump for proper functioning and found it to be in error. E4 stated he ordered a new pump and on 10/27/17, R13 had the new pump. On 10/27/17 at 12 PM, Z2, Medical Physician, stated she was aware of R13's continued weight loss and would have expected the nurses to make sure he's getting the amount of formula ordered to prevent the weight loss. Z2 stated she would be concerned if the recommendations are held over 4 days when contacting her and adding that they probably waited until she came to the facility the next time since she makes weekly visits. The facility's Tube feeding - infusion pump Method policy, dated 3/18/13, documents It policy is to provide nutrients, fluids and medications, as per physician orders, to residents requiring feeding through an artificial opening into the stomach. 2. On 10/24/17 at 9:45 AM during the initial tour, E4, LPN, entered R4's room and as the tube feeding pump was being checked, E4 stated that he wanted to go look at the orders, due to he wasn't familiar with the order, but he thought that the tube feeding should have been shut off. E4 left the room. When E4 returned, E4 shut off the tube feeding. E4 did not flush the [DEVICE] with water or check R4's lungs. R4's Physician Order, dated 1/23/17, documented, 60 ML/HR X 20 HRS. OFF AT 0800 (8 AM) ON AT 1200 (noon). R4's Physician Order, dated 9/12/17, documents, Flush [DEVICE] with 60 ml's H2O (water) before and after meds & disconnections. On 10/26/17 at 12:00 PM, E8, LPN, did not check g- tube placement before administrating medications. E8 stated I messed up didn't I?' R4's Care Plan, dated 10/3/17, documented to check residual, positioning of tube prior to feed, give 150 cc of water via tube q (every) 4 hours, and check lung sound prior to and following each feeding. On 10/27/17 at 10:20 AM, E2, Director of Nursing (DON), stated that she expects her staff to check placement of [DEVICE] before administration of medications. The Facility's undated 'Tube Feeding' policy and procedure reads, After each tube placement check, before and after medications and feedings, the tube is flushed with clear water (patency check) to completely clear the tube to remove all residues. Feedings are to be administered at room temperature. Contents should be used within eight (8) hours if open system or twenty-four (24) hours if closed system or in accordance with manufactures' recommendation.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to adequately assess for injuries following falls and failed to identify a change in condition that included increased pain, change of location/intensity of pain and decreased functional ability/cognition for one of three residents (R3) reviewed for falls/fractures in a sample of 3. This failure resulted in a delay, approximately 10 hours, in identifying and treating R3's fracture to his left femur. Findings include: 1. Admission Records document R3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] following hospitalization for a fracture/repair of right hip. The Minimum Data Set ((MDS) dated [DATE] documents R3 to required extensive assist of two staff for transfers and bed mobility. The Assessment reports documents R3 to have moderate pain from his right hip. The Interim Care Plan dated 8/18/17 documents only that R3 is a full code and is resistive to care at time and fails to reflect pain. R3's Progress Note, dated 8/19/17 entered by E11, Registered Nurse (RN) at 2:26 AM documented R3 had an un-witnessed fall in bathroom and Res (resident) was in room yelling, staff went to check on res and he was sat on toilet by two assist. One staff member went to get supplies to change res as the other was making his bed. Res slid to floor causing skin tear to left forearm. Writer assessed res and res denied any pain or hitting his head. R11's entry continues res then began to dig at PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) line stating needles were broke off in arm and started to c/o (complain) of right hip pain. At 2:40 AM, Z2, the on-call Physician and Z3, R3's family member, were documented as informed. A report to Illinois Department of Public Health with an occurrence date of 8/19/17 completed by E3, Assistant Director of Nurse (ADON) documented on 8/19/17 at 2:30 AM, staff responded to hearing R3 yelling out in his room. The Report documented Staff asked (R3) what he was screaming about and (R3) stated he needed to use the restroom. The report continued With the assistance of 2 CNA's (Certified Nurse Aides), (R3) was assisted to the bathroom and sat on the toilet. The report documents R3 fell when one CNA left the room for supplies and the other was changing his bed. The Report documented after R3 was back in bed for a while, he started to complain of right hip pain and picking at his PICC line. The Immediate Action Taken section documented E11 performed body assessment, started Neuros (neurological checks), clean and dressed left forearm and redressed PICC line. E11 documented she was unable to reach R3's POA, Z4, but was able to reach Z3, another family member, to notify her of the fall. E11 documented she explained that R3 sustained a skin tear in the fall and c/o (complained of) right hip pain and she advised the family to send him to the hospital for evaluation since it was a newly set hip. E11 documented Z3 stated did not want to send, to give res anti-anxiety med and when family comes in morning, they will see if res is still complaining and take him themselves if they feel he needs to go. E11 also documented that the on-call physician, Z2, was notified and advised to send to hospital and when told what family wanted, stated it was their choice. There was no further documentation on R3 for the remainder of the 11-6 shift by E11 in the progress notes. On 8/25/17 at 12:34 PM, E11 confirmed the information in the report and stated she relayed the information regarding family not wanting anything done until they come in to the 6-2PM RN, E4/RN, in report the morning of the fall. E11 stated she did not note any change in R3 for the rest of the shift and did give him some Tylenol and [MEDICATION NAME] after he fell . On 8/25/17 at 12:10 PM, E6, Certified Nurse's Aide (CNA) stated on 8/19/17 between 6:15 AM and 6:30 AM, she entered R3's room with E5, CNA, and proceeded to get R3 ready to get him up for breakfast. E6 stated when she and E5 started to roll him from side to side to get his pants on, R3 started grabbing at his left thigh and screaming in a high pitched scream. E6 stated she immediately left the room and reported this to E4. E6 stated R3 screamed and guarded his left upper leg whenever they provided care throughout shift. On 8/29/17 at 9:40 AM, E6 stated that she did not assist nor did she observe E4 entering R3's room and assessing him during her shift on 8/19/17. E6 stated R3 did not eat any breakfast or lunch on 8/19/17 and remained in bed the entire shift.

E5 confirmed that R3 ate none of his breakfast or lunch on 8/19/17. On 8/25/17 at 12:00 PM, E4, RN stated when she took report from E11 at 6:00AM on 8/19/17, E11 told her she (E11) thought R3 had a fracture but family had chosen not to send him to the hospital for evaluation. E4 confirmed that E5 and E6 reported R3 grabbing at his left upper thigh and screaming to her at approximately 6:30 AM that morning but that he was lying still with no evidence of pain when she went down and assessed him. E4 confirmed that he was lying still in bed when the assessment was done and she did not attempt to move him nor did she observe him when he was being moved. E4 stated she did not call the physician and/or family to inform them that R3's pain location had changed from right hip immediately after the fall to left upper thigh with high pitched screaming because she understood the family did not want to treat until they came in. E4 stated she R3's family member came in later that morning and seeing that R3 was in extreme pain, they decided to have the leg X-ray. She stated she then called the physician for an X-ray order. E4 stated she did not know why she didn't document anything that happened on 8/19/17, including R3 being in extreme pain. When asked if she assessed R3's pain level including for any non-verbal signs/symptoms, E4 stated she gave him an [MEDICATION NAME] early in the morning but couldn't recall the time. E4 stated she was not at the facility when the results of the X-ray came in and that she passed all the information on to E14, RN in shift report the afternoon of 8/19/17.

E14 stated she did not assess for non-verbal signs/symptoms of pain when care was provided. E14 stated she had cared for R3 the day before and his level of consciousness was a lot different than it was the day before. E14 stated she came on at 2:00 PM and did not provide any pain medication. E14 stated when the X-ray came back showing a femoral neck fracture, she called 911. E14 stated she assisted the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) in transferring R3 over to the gurney and he acted like it really hurt. E14 stated she documented everything that occurred but when told it wasn't in the progress notes, looked herself and could not find it. R3's Progress Notes were reviewed. The Progress notes did not document any of E4's actions including a physical assessment and/or pain assessment for the 6AM to 2PM shift on 8/19/17. There was no documentation an assessment was completed for R3 on the 2 PM to 10PM shift. There was no documentation regarding when the X-ray was done and when the report came in identifying the fracture. The progress notes did not record what time R3 was transferred out to the emergency room . R3's Admission physician's orders [REDACTED]. The August 2017 Medication Administration Record [REDACTED].

Based on observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to follow its policy and procedure for neglect by not accurately assessing for and implementing a plan for preventing falls for 1 of 5 residents (R2) reviewed for falls in the sample of 15. This failure resulted in R2 repeatedly falling from bed and sustaining multiple second and third [MEDICAL CONDITION] his back, buttocks, both shoulders and arm. Findings include: The policy and procedure titled, "Abuse Prevention Program Facility Policy" was reviewed. This was not dated. Under Neglect it documented "Neglect is the failure to provide goods and services necessary to avoid physical harm, mental anguish, mental illness, or in the deterioration of a resident's physical or mental condition." The policy and procedure titled, "Fall Prevention Program" was reviewed. This was not dated. Under policy it documented "...to assure the safety of all residents in the facility, when possible. The program will include measures which determine the individual needs of each resident by assessing the risk of falls and implementation of appropriate interventions to provide necessary supervision and assistive devices are utilized as necessary." It documented under "Care Plan incorporates: Identification of all risk/issue, Addresses each fall, Interventions are changed with each fall, as appropriate and Preventative measures." It documented under "Standard Fall/Safety Precautions For All Residents: 2. At the time of admission and in accordance with the plan of care the resident will be oriented to use the nurse call device. The nurse call device will be placed within the resident's reach at all times. 9. At the time of the initial assessment, a determination will be made to determine if the resident needs or desires side rails as a safety measure or as a mobility aide for self turning and repositioning." The physician's orders [REDACTED]. The Minimum Data Set, (MDS)dated 03/08/13, documented R2 has memory loss with moderate cognitive impairment with altered level of consciousness and psychomotor [MEDICAL CONDITION] and requires extensive assistance of at least two staff for transfers and extensive assistance of at lease one staff for dressing, toileting, hygiene and bathing and limited assist of one staff for bed mobility and locomotion. The MDS also documented R2 had Range of Motion, (ROM), deficits on both upper and lower of one side and is frequently incontinent of both bowel and bladder. The MDS documented that R2 had balance deficits requiring human assistance to maintain balance and is not on a toileting program. The Care Plan, dated last review 09/17/13, documented R2 had been identified for Falls due to wanting to get up or toilet and having had multiple [MEDICAL CONDITION]'s with left sided weakness and sleep on the edge of the mattress. Interventions included, in part, as assist with Activities of Daily Living, (ADL;s), as needed, attempt to anticipate needs, "I have a bell in my room as a call light, I do not always utilize this, please check on me while passing, I think it's funny to put myself onto floor - refer to my behavior care plan, Do not leave me in room unattended when up in wheelchair, Helmet for safety to prevent head injury, now utilizing a low bed to prevent me from attempting to transfer myself, continues on falling leaf program." The Fall Risk Assessment, dated 08/23/13, documented R2's score of 18 indicating he was at risk for falls. On 11/14/13, it documented a score of 19, at risk for falls. On 11/12/13 at approximately 9:30 PM, an Incident Summary Form documented R2 was found on the floor by E22 and E25, CNA's. It documented that R2 was found lying on the floor between his bed and the wall lying up against the base board heater. It documented that E19, Licensed Practical Nurse, (LPN), was notified and E22 and E25 assisted R2 back to bed and positioned him on his stomach. It documented that there were [MEDICAL CONDITION] his right shoulder, right scapula and right back. It documented that R2's facial pain scale was obtained and scored between a 7 and 8. It documented that he had blisters and some had broken open with transfer. It documented that the physician and responsible party was notified and R2 was sent to the hospital via ambulance. The Incident Summary Form further documented interventions put into place was the bed was moved to the doorway and room rearranged so R2 is no where near heater. Maintenance checked heating unit for proper function. The Incident Summary Forms for R2 were reviewed and from 11/03/12 to 11/12/13, R2 had 15 incidents where he fell /rolled or slid from his bed to the floor. Most of these incidents were recorded as "behaviors." On 11/22/13, R2 was observed on the mat on the floor next to his bed, call light on the floor against the far wall and the curtain pulled around him. E22, CNA stated he had gotten himself out of bed, but he is a two assist with transfers and she was waiting on another CNA to help. E21 and E22 then came into room and attempted to assist R2 back to bed, but noticed that his bed linens were wet with urine, so they transferred him to his wheelchair. E21, CNA stated that R2 can tell staff what he needs by using a thumbs up or down for yes or no, and he usually rolls out of bed when he needs something for pain, needs to go to the bathroom or has already wet or soiled his bed. She further stated that R2 will roll out of bed and urinate on the mat on the floor if he cannot wait and he puts himself on the floor everyday, sometimes multiple times during the shift. E20, E21 and E22, CNA's, stated that R2 can and will use his call light and they have never seen a bell in his room. They also stated that R2 can remove himself from bed and can roll or scoot himself out into the hall when he wants to. The Admission/Re-Admission Assessment documented R2 is a one person assist with transfers. The Care Plan/Behavior Tracking Record for October and November, 2013 were reviewed and documented in October 10 incidents of placing self on floor and in November 7 incidents. The interventions ranged from contacting the nurse to ensure resident is safe, to redirect and to explain that the behavior is inappropriate. During this time, none of these interventions were done. The Room Heater Temp Log was reviewed for the past month, or when the heat was turned on 10/31/13. The room that R2 was in had recorded temperatures on 10/31/13 of 118.6 degrees (with air conditioning unit on too) and documented "adjusted heat in R2's room, back and checked went down to 102 and 98 degrees. On 11/13/13, the Room Heater Temp Log documented R2's room heater recorded at 122.6 degrees (with the air conditioning unit on) and documented "adjusted heat in R2's room checked hour later was 101.6, air conditioning unit on." The temperatures documented for R2's room were recorded between 101.4 and 111.8 degrees with side notations of air conditioning units on at the same time. During an interview on 11/15/13 with E10, Maintenance Supervisor, he stated that staff can and will adjust the heater in the rooms to the residents request. He also stated that he is the only one that checks room temperatures at this time. On 11/15/13 at 10:30 AM, R2 was observed in his room, lying in bed on his left side. A low bed with a mat on the floor was observed. The call light was observed at the end of R2's bed lying on the floor. At 10:45 AM, E17 and E18, LPN's were observed during dressing changes for R2. R2 was lying on his left side and E17 had removed the dressing with serosanguineous drainage noted to the right lower flank/buttocks. E18 stated that R2 likes to lay on his left side because of where the burn is on the right side causes him pain. The area was observed to be very large with pink, blood tinged tissue throughout surrounded by a scab-like perimeter. After cleansing with soap and water, E17 applied [MEDICATION NAME] cream, an oil [MEDICATION NAME] dressing with a thick pad and taped to the wound. During this R2 made grimacing faces and would slightly move away when the burned area was touched. E18 asked E17 when R2 had been last medicated for pain, and E17 replied 8:00 AM with Tylenol. E17 was observed to do the same procedure with the remaining wounds. R2 had wounds on the right shoulder, left shoulder had three areas and left upper arm. The wounds measured on 11/21/13, right buttocks/flank 28 cm x 13.7 cm, left shoulder posterior 10 cm x 10.2 cm and 4.7 cm x 2 cm, left deltoid 18.5 cm x 5.2 cm and right shoulder posterior 1 cm x 0.5 cm. The history and physical exam done at the hospital on [DATE] documented R2 had sustained partial-[MEDICAL CONDITION](second to third degree) to those areas mentioned. On 11/21/13 at 9:30 AM, R2 was observed without his helmet on sitting in his wheelchair in his room with no staff in or around room. At 11:45 AM, R2 was in the assisted dining room without his helmet on. On 11/22/13, E21 and E22, CNA's, stated that R2 is to wear his helmet when up in his wheelchair. During an interview on 11/22/13 at 10:20 AM with E2, DON (Director of Nursing), it was discussed that R2 was identified for behavior management due to being non-compliant with transfers and taking himself out of his wheelchair and bed and laughing and thinking it's funny. She further stated that he can use his call light for assistance, but doesn't always do that. She also stated that he would always fall out of bed on the left side, never the right side. She stated that R2 is on every two hour checks by staff and was on every 15 minute checks but had been taken off recently for better behavior. When asked if R2 had safety awareness and is assessed for that, E2 stated yes. E2 further stated that R2 "obviously does not" have safety awareness. There was no documentation presented where R2's safety awareness was assessed and the interventions that were put into place were monitored for effectiveness and necessary changes were made to prevent further falls. There were no interventions put into place that would have prevented R2 from rolling off the bed to the right side and landing against the base board heater and sustaining burn injuries.

Based on interviews, observations and record review, the facility failed to provide double portions and supplements as ordered for 2 residents (R2 and R3) reviewed for weight loss on a sample of 4. This failure contributed to a significant unplanned weight loss of 11.6% (20 pounds) in 6 months for R3. Findings include: 1. According to the Minimum Data Set ((MDS) dated [DATE], R3 has short/long term memory deficits with severe cognitive impairment and requires minimal assist of staff for eating. The MDS identifies a significant unplanned weight loss of 10% or more within the last 6 months. The weight record for 2012 documents a gradual weight loss for R3 from 156 pounds in January 2012 to 137 pounds in August. The current physician's orders [REDACTED]. On 9/7/12 at 10:10am, R3 was sitting in his wheelchair in the lobby area of the facility. He was dosing in the chair. He appeared very thin with his clothes being large on him. At 12:57pm, R3 received single portion lunch meal in separate dark green bowls which consisted of slightly more than a 1/2 bowl of meatloaf, one scoop of mashed potatoes with gravy and a 2/3 bowl of creamed corn. He has a glass of water, grape drink and 2 prepackaged chocolate cookies. E9, Certified Nurses Aide (CNA) assisted/fed him. He took slow bites with long periods of time in between. He did, at times, attempt to feed himself. He ate 100% of all food items except the potatoes which he ate 50% of. No second helpings were offered or encouraged. Interview with E5, Dietary Manager (DM) on 9/7/12 at 3pm insisted R3 did get double portions "just like everyone else at the table did" and that it just didn't look like double portions. E5 agreed that R3 is losing weight but added that he gets a sandwich at bedtime which the nurses come in to the kitchen and get. He provided a "Snack List" which included R3 "1 1/2 sandwich." R2 is one of R3's table mate and was observed to get single portions as well. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for September 2012 did not include documentation of R3's 2 Cal 120cc being given at all for the month as of 9/7/12. The MAR for August shows the 2 CAL 120cc being given beginning on 8/20/12 but no 2 Cal 60cc being given at all prior to 8/20/12. Registered Dietician (RD), E6, initial assessment on admitted d 6/29/11 documents his weight as 193 pounds with his usual weight being 198 pounds. R3's height is 67 inches. The RD did not calculate ideal body weight. R3's Annual assessment dated [DATE] identifies R3 to be eating 50-75%, on a Hi Calorie/Hi Protein portions/supplements added diet. The June Annual assessments reflect the double portions and 2 CAL 120cc TID (Three times daily.) An RD assessment dated [DATE] identifies his weight in June 2012 as 144 pounds with current weight on 8/12/12 as 137 pounds. Problems documented for nutritional problems include weight loss with constant pacing. physician's orders [REDACTED]. A WEIGHT CHANGE NOTIFICATION dated 4/20/12 identifies 2.0 Med Pass but includes no amount. A WEIGHT CHANGE NOTIFICATION dated 5/10/12 to R3's physician lists R3 to be getting 2 CAL 60cc at bedtime at that time. A Dietician's recommendation completed E6 RD dated 8/7/12 identifies the 10% weight loss in 6 months with recommendations to increase the 2 Cal to 120cc TID which wasn't added to the MAR until 8/20/12. The facility was unable to provide any documentation that showed R3 received any 2 Cal prior to 8/20/12. On 9/7/12 at 2:40pm, interview with E11, LPN, caring for R3 was unable to recall if R3 ever gets 2 CAL or not but stated if he did, it would definitely be documented on the MAR as that is the policy of the facility. E11 confirmed that it was not on the September MAR. Interview with E7, License Practical Nurse, on 9/7/12 indicates that she fills out the weight change sheets and faxes them to the physician. She was unsure as to why the 2 CAL wasn't on the August MAR or the Sept MAR and confirmed that the increase recommended on 8/7/12 wasn't implemented until 8/20/12. E7 was unable to explain why the RD's recommendation took 13 days to implement. E7 did acknowledge that the RD fills out her own sheets to fax to the physician which she thought the nurses faxed to him. On 9/11/12 at 1:50pm, E6 RD recalled R3 and stated she makes recommendations on a fax ready sheet to send directly to the physician and didn't know why the supplements and/or the increase recommended took 13 days to implement. In addition, she stated she did not routinely check the MARs to see if the recommendations are followed through on and that she assumes they are unless informed by the facility. E6 stated she prefers the 2 CAL over the health shakes because it is usually on the MAR and the nurses have to document giving it. She stated R3's not getting the 2 CAL as ordered along with double portions as ordered/recommended contributes to unplanned weight loss. E6 acknowledged that R3 has had a significant change since a fall in August where he is not as active with pacing and wandering and is more dependent on staff. E6 stated it is beneficial to the resident when dietary recommendations are followed. On 9/11/12 at 1:38pm, Z3, R3's Physician acknowledged that R3 has had a significant change in condition since a fall in August when he sustained a subdural hematoma which he identifies as a "significant issue for him that nutrition fits in too.". Z3 stated he is currently using a wheelchair more. Z3 stated he always agrees with the RD's recommendation and that he assumes the facility is following physician's orders [REDACTED]. On 9/11/12 at the breakfast meal, R3 was again served a regular portion breakfast which included oatmeal, and french toast. The care plan reviewed on 9/11/12 shows no reference to R3's significant weight loss but indicates he needs constant cues/encouragement to feed himself and complete his meals. The goal is to have no weight loss gaining 1-2 pounds by next review 9/19/12. Interventions include the double portions, 1/2 meat sandwich which was added 1/16/12 and no reference to the 2 CAL included. E2 Director of Nursing confirmed that the 2 CAL was not documented as given prior to 8/20/12 and that policy is that 2 CAL is always documented on the MAR since the nurses give it. E2 stated adding it to the September MAR was missed by the nurse that reviews it but was added on 9/7/12 after being notified of the omission. E2 acknowledged R3's weight loss and agreed that physician's orders [REDACTED]. E2 didn't know if E7, LPN, was responsible to send the RD"s recommendations or if the nurses sent the RD"s fax ready recommendations and couldn't determine why it took 13 days to implement R3's increase in 2 CAL or why it wasn't documented before that time. E2 also confirmed that R3 has had a significant change since his fall which includes pacing/wandering less and is spending more time in the wheelchair. On 9/7/12 at 10:15am, Z1, R3's family member stated that R3 has loss a tremendous amount of weight since his admission to the facility in June 2011. She stated she thought he wasn't getting enough food to meet his needs because up until a few weeks prior, he was continually wandering and pacing. Z1 identified his normal weight as 200 pounds. Z1 also stated R3 is not feeding himself as much anymore and is more dependent on staff. Z1 is concerned about him not getting enough food and that staff are not taking time to feed him. 2. The MDS dated [DATE] identifies that R2 requires set up/supervision for eating and that he is 68 inches tall and weighs 125 pounds. The RD Initial assessment dated [DATE] indicates R2's weight on admission was 146 pounds, showing a gradual loss of 21 pounds. September 2012 POS documents diet orders as mechanical soft with ground meat, thin liquids and "may have double portions as meat times." The DM notes dated 8/2/12 document R2 "current receiving a mech (mechanical) soft double portions at meals." The care plan dated 8/1/12 fails to identify R2's gradual loss but does include a goal to maintain adequate nutrition without a significant weight loss. Interventions include serve diet as ordered, supervise eating, among others. On 9/7/12 at 1:05pm, R2 was served a single portion meal in a divided plate. He had one scoop of potatoes with gravy, a small bowl of creamed corn and a pureed meat portion. R2 ate his meal in less than 6 minutes scooping large portions as staff cued him to take smaller bites. Once finished, he left the dining room ambulating independently. Within a few minutes, he returned to his seat, looked at his plate, looked at others then left the dining room again. He did this several times until staff was asked if he was still hungry. E9, CNA, stated this was routine behavior for him and that at times, he will take food from others plates. Asked if he was still hungry, E9 stated she didn't know and asked him. He shook his head "yes". An additional plate was provided of a full meal and he ate 100% of the second portion. Double portions were not provided at first. Interview with the RD, E6, at 1:55pm on 9/11/12 indicates she may have to word the order to give double portions instead of "may have" if staff are not offering them when appropriate. Z3, MD, stated at 1:38pm on 9/11/12 that he felt the residents needed the RD's recommendation and the facility should provide them accordingly. .

We each take care of our own residents. I did not know we were supposed to call someone to come in to give the IV medicine. I thought the DON had that all set up. LPN's aren't allowed to give IV medications so I didn't even look at that medicine or know if they were coming in later to give (R3) the medicine. On 3/9/12 at 9:45 AM R3 was interviewed in his hospital room. He previously had a right [MEDICAL CONDITION]. On 3/7/12, R3 underwent a right above the knee debridement and amputation. R3 stated "The last six days I was in the home they only gave me my antibiotics once. E2 only came in to give me my IV pain medication once, after that they got it changed to a shot or a pill.

R3 stated, "The air seal on the [DEVICE] kept leaking the nurses didn't know what to do with it so they just keep adding more tape, but it still leaked. The canister on the thing would be full and they didn't change it for two days, they had to order some." On 3/9/12 at 9:10 AM Z1 Plastic Surgery Resident working with Z2 stated, " the standard of care for Negative Pressure [DEVICE] is to change them every other day. It may be left on longer if the wound is healing and there is minimal drainage, but that would not be true for (R3), he had a lot of drainage. The every other day change of the dressing is a standard and common knowledge. There should be no deviation. Canisters need to be changed when almost full, or if the seal is broken." On 3/8/12 at 2:00 PM Z1, Medical Doctor and Surgeon stated, "(R3) had a severe leg and muscle injury to begin with. Missing those antibiotics did not help and allowed the infection to flare up again.

According to the hospital surgery report dated 3/7/12 on 3/7/12, R3 underwent a right above the knee debridement and amputation. On 3/9/12, Z2 stated, "I did see (R3) in my office on 2/23/12. There are two reasons why I would have stopped the [DEVICE] at that time. One is when the wound is healed, two would be that the [DEVICE] was not working effectively and there was so much drainage we needed to open it up and let it drain in hopes of promoting healing. I believe that is why I discontinued the [DEVICE] for (R3)."
