F323L · Immediate jeopardy, widespread

Based on observations, resident and staff interviews, facility documentation and investigation reports, it was determined that the facility failed to provide an environment that remained free of accident hazards related to resident access to water at temperatures exceeding 110 degrees Fahrenheit for three of three nursing floors (first floor, second floor and third floor), thereby placing the health and safety of the residents in Immediate Jeopardy. The facility also failed to properly supervise one of 24 residents (Resident I3) with a history of entering a non-resident area and failed to provide an escort to accompany a resident to a cardiac study for one of 24 residents reviewed (Resident F1). Findings include: Observations during the initial tour of the first floor on October 6, 2015 at approximately 12:30 a.m., revealed hot water temperatures in the sinks located in the resident rooms as follows: 115.3 degrees Fahrenheit in Room 122, 114.5 degrees Fahrenheit in Room 126, 118.3 degrees Fahrenheit in Room 115, and 119.6 degrees Fahrenheit in Room 104. Observations during the initial tour of the second floor on October 6, 2015 at approximately 12:15 p.m., accompanied by Licensed Nurse, Employee E3, revealed the following hot water temperatures in resident sinks: 120 degrees Fahrenheit in Room 200; 118 degrees Fahrenheit in Room 205; 118 degrees Fahrenheit in Room 206; 120 degrees Fahrenheit in Room 210; 118 degrees Fahrenheit in Room 214; and 115 degrees Fahrenheit in the central bathing room. Observations during the initial tour of the third floor on October 6, 2015, at approximately 12:25 p.m. revealed the following hot water temperatures in resident sinks: 116.6 degrees Fahrenheit in Room 311; 120.2 degrees Fahrenheit in Room 312; and 119.0 degrees Fahrenheit in Room 314. The high water temperatures were reported to the facility Maintenance Director on October 6, 2015 at approximately 1:30 p.m. Interview with the Maintenance Director, at this same time, indicated that the high water temperatures tested by surveyors had been reported by the nursing staff and that a maintenance worker had gone to adjust the mixing valve. Observation of hot water temperatures on the second floor on October 6, 2015 at approximately 1:35 p.m., accompanied by the facility Maintenance Director, revealed temperatures ranging from 104.4 degrees Fahrenheit to 116.8 degrees Fahrenheit and a temperature of 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit in the central bath room. Observations of the thermometer while the Maintenance Director was taking the water temperatures revealed fluctuations from high to low before finally settling on a temperature. Interview with Maintenance Worker, Employee E4, at approximately 1:50 p.m., revealed that after being told by the nursing staff that there was a problem with the water temperatures, he went down to adjust the water temperature. Upon further interview, Employee E4 revealed that before adjusting the temperature, he did not check the temperature of the mixing valve as he, just went by the report of the nurses. Employee E4 further revealed that he and another maintenance worker were the staff that maintained the water temperature logs and that water temperatures had been fluctuating for at least a couple of months. Additionally, Employee E4 confirmed that he had not checked the calibration on the thermometer used for monitoring water temperatures for approximately a year. Review of water temperature logs from August 2015 and September 2015 revealed that water temperatures were taken at the mixing valve first, then in the therapy room, the central bathing rooms and one resident room from each floor, with the majority of temperatures taken from 7:15 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Additional review indicated that on August 16, August 18, August 25, August 27 through September 1, 2015, no water temperatures were recorded on the water logs for resident rooms. Further review revealed that the maintenance staff did not take water temperatures on the weekends from August 22, 2015 through October 4, 2015. Additionally, on the following dates the water temperatures recorded at the mixing valve were lower than the water temperatures recorded in the therapy room and resident areas: August 19 - 21, 2015; August 26 - 29, 2015; August 31, 2015; September 29, 2015 and October 6, 2015. Further review indicated that there was no temperature recorded for the mixing valve on September 4, 2015. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on October 6, 2015 at approximately 3:00 p.m., revealed that the nursing staff were responsible for taking the water temperatures on the weekends. Review of the documentation of these temperatures for the aforementioned weekends, revealed that the only temperatures taken were those taken before the residents' showers. There was no record of temperatures taken at the sinks in any of the residents' rooms. Interview with the Regional Maintenance Director on October 7, 2015 starting at 11:10 a.m., revealed that it was known for two to three months that the existing mixing valve was not the correct one for the facility building size and that there was a problem with fluctuating temperatures. The Regional Maintenance Director further indicated that he had met with the company who installed the mixing valve a few months ago and was told that there was nothing wrong with the mixing valve itself, but that the only way to adjust the temperature of the mixing valve was to open 30 faucets all at the same time which was not practical. He further indicated that yesterday when the maintenance staff went down to adjust the mixing valve, it was not done correctly. Additionally, he confirmed that even though there was knowledge of a problem, no changes were made to the way that hot water temperatures were being monitored or the frequency with which they were taken. Furthermore, he could not explain how it was possible that the temperature of the mixing valve was recorded on several occasions as being lower than the temperatures recorded in the therapy room and residents' rooms, and confirmed that someone should have been looking/monitoring for this discrepancy. Immediate Jeopardy was identified to the Nursing Home Adminsitrator on October 6, 2015 at 2:50 p.m. for failing to assure that hot water temperatures did not exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and for failing to ensure that the mixing valve at the boiler was the appropriate valve for the size for the facility, which placed the health and safety of residents in immediate jeopardy. An action plan was requested on October 6, 2015 at 2:50 p.m., to immediately put a system in place to ensure that hot water temperatures were at safe temperatures of not exceeding 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The facility submitted the following plan of action on October 6, 2015, which included the temperature at the holding tank adjusted to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, the nursing staff was to utilize thermometers to ensure that water in the basin used for bathing did not exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit and the mixing valve and parts needed for replacement/repair were to be located for immediate installation by the outside plumbing company. Hourly water temperatures were obtained by the maintenance staff on every unit at four random room locations and all shower rooms from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. The hourly check included temperatures leaving the boiler at the mixing valve. Education was initiated to all licensed and non-licensed nursing staff regarding safe and appropriate water temperatures. The facility implemented an acceptable action plan and the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on October 7, 2015 at 2:50 p.m. Observations of the 2nd Floor Unit in the facility on October 6, 2015 at 2:30 p.m., revealed that when a person enters the unit from the elevators, the nursing station was positioned to the right of the elevators which directly faces a set of large double doors that allow entrance to a non-resident area. The double doors were directly in line of sight from the nursing station, and two medication carts were positioned on the opposite side of the nursing station. Any staff member who was at the nursing station and/or near the two medication carts had direct vision of the double doors. Observation of the double doors revealed that to exit through the double doors into the non-resident area, a code must be entered in the code pad, which was located on the right wall prior to the double doors. This code was used to release the alarm locking mechanism. Immediately entering the double doors into the non-resident side with Licensed Nurse, Employee E10, multiple resident wheelchairs were being stored in the corridor when not in use. To the left was the door to the staff break room/lounge. Upon entering the staff lounge, there were a few vending machines to the left and a few tables and chairs for the staff to sit in the middle of the room. Walking through the staff lounge, there was no evident area that was not visible from the door leading into the staff lounge. Exiting the staff lounge, and turning left, there was an exit door down the corridor past the resident equipment that was not in use, and the door lead to the outside of the building and steps were observed leading to ground level. During observation, Employee E10 stated that the door was equipped with an alarm if it was opened. To the left of the exit door was a short corridor with a door at the end of the corridor which led, according to Employee E10, to the main housekeeping closet that contained supplies. Employee E10 stated that to the right of the housekeeping door was a door to that lead to where the maintenance department kept all their supplies. Walking back down the corridor towards the double doors that lead to the resident area of the 2nd Floor Nursing Unit, there was a green lighted button on the right side of the wall. Employee E10 stated that the green button was how to enter back into the resident area simply by pushing it. Employee E10 pushed the green button releasing the alarm system locking mechanism of the double doors, which allowed entrance back into the 2nd North Unit. Observation of the 2nd Floor Nursing Station on October 6, 7, 8, 9 and 13, 2015 at various times on the 7-3 tour of duty (day shift) revealed that there was a unit clerk stationed at the desk for most of the time. Nursing staff were consistently present at the nursing station, which was a very high traffic area for staff and residents with some of the staff sitting and doing charting, making phone calls or interacting with each other, and some residents who sat around the nursing station area. It was also noted that there were many staff members going in and out of the double doors, utilizing the code pad to enter the non-resident area. Review of Resident I3's electronic medical record revealed an original admitted [DATE] with a readmitted [DATE]. Resident I3 was admitted with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of Resident I3's 5 day quarterly admission Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-a periodic assessment of the residents physical and cognitive functioning) indicated it was completed on June 7, 2015, following a readmission to the facility from the hospital after a left ankle tendon release surgery (surgical procedure that involves cutting through or disconnecting a tendon to allow for a greater range of movement). The MDS indicated that the resident needed extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toileting and hygiene needs. It also indicated that the resident's mode of ambulation was by wheelchair. Review of Resident I3's nursing note dated August 30, 2015 revealed that the resident left the 2nd Floor North area through the secure doors on August 30, 2015. The clinical nursing note on August 30, 2015 at 4:02 p.m., stated, this nurse was informed by co- nurse that resident was observed coming through double doors from employee break room area. Resident had attempted to go through the double doors earlier shift she was redirected not to go through the doors, that area is for employees only. When asked, resident was able to verbalize knowledge of code. Review of the resident's current plan of care revealed that there were no interventions developed after the August 30, 2015 incident to ensure the safety and supervision of Resident I3. A clinical nursing progress note dated September 12, 2015, stated, About 1:20 p.m. this nurse was informed by co-nurse that the resident went through the double doors, both nurses went back there but resident was nowhere to be found. Supervisor made aware of resident disappearance. Nurses searched the whole building but could not find resident. About 2:40 p.m. this nurse saw resident coming through the door back of employee break room, leaving the 2 North area. When this nurse asked the resident regarding her whereabouts, the resident stated, Shhh, keep your mouth shut. Resident was escorted to her room and supervisor was notified. Review of August 30, 2015 through September 12, 2015, nursing notes indicated that the resident was being monitored for elopement, but did not indicate how the facility and staff were providing supervision to the resident in order to prevent the resident from entering the non-resident area off of the 2nd floor of the facility. Review of Resident I3's current plan of care revealed that on September 14, 2015, (2 days after the second incident of the resident entering a non-resident area) the resident's plan of care was revised to include that at times, the resident went through the double doors to the north side of the building. Further review of the interventions included in the care plan revealed that there were no interventions developed to direct the nursing staff in the supervision of Resident I3 in order to ensure the resident safety. Interview with Employee E10 at the time of the tour on October 6, 2015, revealed that she was aware that Resident I3 exited from the resident area two times, but stated that she was not present at the facility on those days. Employee E10 confirmed that the resident followed a staff member through the doors into the non-resident area when the staff member was going to the break room. She stated that the management of the facility changed the code to the entry pad after on the the first incident that the resident left the unit, but that the resident again went through the doors a couple of weeks after the first incident. She stated that both the incidents occurred on the 7-3 tour of duty (day shift). Interview with Resident I3 on October 6, 2015 at 3:00 p.m., revealed that the resident had a brace on her left arm which extended onto her left hand which limited mobility of the left hand and arm. The resident stated that she was not ambulatory and had limited function in her left arm and legs. The resident further indicated that she propelled her wheelchair primarily with her right hand/arm. Resident I3 acknowledged that she went into the non-resident area of the second floor and stated that she followed a staff member who entered the area after releasing the doors by placing the code into the code pad. Resident I3 stated that she wheeled herself into the non-resident area through the doors to use the vending machines. She stated that the facility management was upset with her for going into the non-resident area and told her that staff would assist her in buying something in the vending machines. She stated that to get back into the resident area, she hit the green button on the wall and wheeled herself back onto the nursing unit. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on October 8, 2015 at approximately 10:30 a.m., revealed that she was not aware of the first incident of the resident entering the non-resident area on August 30, 2015. When the surveyor requested the investigation reports for both incidents, the NHA produced one investigation report for the incident that occurred on August 30, 2015, but no investigation report was provided for the incident that occurred on September 12, 2105. The NHA stated that an in-house investigation was completed for the incident that occurred on August 30, 2015, and the team decided to change the code on the access pad after the incident on that day (August 30, 2015) and on September 12, 2015, they decided to change the code every seven days. The Nursing Home Administrator stated that there was no formal policy or procedure written for this change, but education to the staff was completed on September 14, 2015. Review of the education roster provided by the NHA revealed that no education was completed on providing supervision to residents living the nursing unit and assessing the non-resident area off of the 2nd floor or the changing of access codes with the housekeeping or maintenance staff; the staff who pass through the double doors during the day shift (7-3 tour of duty) because their supply rooms are located in the non-resident area. It was also noted that the Nursing Home Administrator could not answer whether other interventions were implemented to prevent further exit seeking behavior from Resident I3 because the resident admitted to the staff that after the first elopement she had the code to the access pad. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that the resident was missing for one hour during the second incident of September 12, 2015 while staff conducted a search for the resident within the building and on the 2nd floor non-resident area, but the staff did not find the resident in that area. Review of Resident F1's [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of Resident F1's quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] revealed that the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- assessment to determine a resident cognitive ability) score of four, which indicates severe cognitive impairment. Review of Resident F1's current care plan revealed a focus of, problematic manner in which resident acts, characterized by ineffective coping; demands attention related to: yelling repeatedly and demanding attention while staff is caring for others. Review of Resident F1's physician's orders [REDACTED]. Review of the nursing progress notes revealed that this resident returned from the hospital after having the echocardiogram completed on October 6, 2015 at 4:32 p.m. On October 9, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator revealed that they had received a call from the hospital where the echocardiogram was being done, indicating that Resident F1 had no escort that accompanied the resident to the appointment and confirmed that the nursing care facility should have sent an escort with this resident due to the resident's behaviors. 42 CFR 483.25(h) Free of Accident Hazards/Supervision/Devices.

F323K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

Based on observations, clinical record review, resident and staff interviews and review of the facility's policy, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the environment in the Physical and Occupational Therapy Room remained free from accident hazards, placing the health and safety of the residents in Immediate Jeopardy. Additionally, the facility failed to ensure that the residents were provided adequate supervision and access to mobility equipment (walker) when in the smoking area and that the smoking materials were secured for resident safety for two of two residents reviewed, resulting in actual harm to one of the two residents (Resident I6). Findings include: Observations on the initial tour of the facility on October 27, 2014, at 6:15 p.m., revealed that the therapy room was unlocked and that residents and their families had unsupervised access to this area. Observations during the environmental tour conducted on October 31, 2014, at approximately 2:00 p.m., revealed that the Physical and Occupational Therapy Department's hydrocollator unit (a unit that contains very hot water, which is used to heat and store hot packs used for therapeutic application for physical therapy treatments) was observed to be unlocked in the Physical and Occupational Therapy Room behind a curtain. Water temperature recordings were listed on a clipboard which hung on the handle of the hydrocollator unit. Water temperature logs were not available from August 2, 2014 through Thursday October 15, 2014. A high water temperature was listed on August 1, 2014, and the temperature listed for Thursday, October 16, 2014, at 6:55 was 171.2 degrees Fahrenheit (none of the temperature readings recorded on the clip board indicated a.m. or p.m.) The next entry was Monday, October 20, 2014, at 2:45 which was 170.1 degrees Fahrenheit. A notation made next to this temperature that stated that the temperature was, "turned down," however, there was no recheck temperature recording noted on October 20, 2014. The temperature recorded on October 21, 2014, at 8:05 measured 167.2 degrees Fahrenheit with the notation, "turned down," written next to the temperature although there was no recheck written. On October 22, 2014, at 7:00 the temperature was measured as 148.5 degrees Fahrenheit with the notation, "turned up," but no recheck was noted. The hydrocollator unit water temperature logs from October 24, 2014, through October 28, 2014, ranged between 161.8 and 164.8 degrees Fahrenheit. On October 29, 2014, at 7:08 the temperature was recorded as 158.9 degrees Fahrenheit and a notation read, "increase temperature." The last temperature recorded was for October 30, 2014 at 11:10 at 160.5 degrees Fahrenheit. The facility policy was requested on October 31, 2014, at 3:00 p.m., and again at 3:30 p.m., relating to the appropriate temperatures for the hydrocollator unit temperature and the frequency of temperature monitoring. A policy was not provided during the survey through November 3, 2014. In addition, there was no written policy provided regarding directing the staff on the reporting and action for inappropriate high and low temperatures. The only temperature direction provided was on a yellow sticky note located on the clip board which stated that the, "ideal," temperature was 160 degrees Fahrenheit and that the temperature should not be higher than 165 degrees Fahrenheit. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed on October 31, 2014, at 3:00 p.m., that the hydrocollator unit was stored in an area that was not routinely locked when staff were not present including the evenings and weekends and that residents used this area unsupervised at times which posed a safety risk from this unmonitored equipment containing hot water. Additional observations made during the environmental tour on October 31, 2014, at approximately 2:00 p.m., of the Physical and Occupational Therapy Room revealed a small kitchen area used for Occupational Therapy retraining. Further investigation revealed that the stove and the oven were turned off but when the control knobs were tested by the surveyor, the electricity was not locked out to this cooking area. Brownies, that had just been baked, were observed cooling on the top of the stove. A small toaster oven, which could be plugged in, was observed on the counter. Two therapy staff members were observed across the room with their backs to the area and were watching a computer screen. Resident D7 was observed in this area on October 31, 2014, at 2:00 p.m., sitting in a wheelchair with an oxygen canister attached to the back of the wheelchair. The resident stated that the stove could be turned off at the breaker box. The breaker box was noted to be located on the wall to the left of the cooking area. The breaker box was partially open with a key hanging out of the lock. In a drawer to the left of the stove, was a large knife with a blade approximately 10 inches long. The drawer contained hardware for locking, however, the padlock was not able to be located. A serrated "rocker" knife was observed in the sink. Also observed on October 31, 2014, at 2:00 p.m., were two small canisters of oxygen mounted on wheelchairs and stored in the back of the Physical and Occupational Therapy Room. There was no visible signage alerting residents and visitors about oxygen in the therapy room. Signs stating "No Smoking" were not posted at the entrance to the therapy room where oxygen tanks were stored. On the second walk through of the Physical and Occupational Therapy Room at 3:10 pm, on October 31, 2014, revealed that there were two additional oxygen tanks in tank holders, stored behind a curtain in the area of the hydrocollator unit. There were no signs to indicate oxygen storage or to indicate this was a Nonsmoking Area. Immediate Jeopardy was identified to the Nursing Home Administrator on October 31, 2014, at 3:30 p.m., for failing to ensure that the Physical and Occupational Therapy Room was supervised and secure which allowed residents access to hazardous and flammable equipment, placing the safety of these residents in Immediate Jeopardy. An action plan was requested on October 31, 2014, at 3:30 p.m., to immediately put systems in place to ensure that the hydrocollator unit was not accessible to residents and that hazardous utensils (knives), electrical appliances (range, toaster oven) and the circuit breaker box were not accessible for resident's unsupervised use. On Saturday, November 1, 2014, a resident was observed in the therapy room alone between 5:30 p.m., and 6:00 pm. Through conversation he explained that he came to the room to use the arm strengthening machine and at night, it's not busy. On Monday November 3, 2014, at approximately 8:30 a.m., a resident was observed in the Physical and Occupational Therapy Room with an oxygen tank attached to his chair. No other staff were in the therapy area at the time of this observation. The facility submitted and implemented an acceptable plan of action and the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on November 2, 2014, at 6:45 p.m. The facility disconnected and removed the hydrocollator unit, the power to the stove was disconnected, the breaker box was locked and the keys were given to the Director of Maintenance and the Nursing Supervisor and the drawers adjacent to the stove were secured with the use of a padlock. Review of Resident I6's October 2014, physician's orders [REDACTED]. Review of the annual Minimum Date Set assessment (MDS - a periodic assessment of resident status and care needs) completed on August 14, 2014, identified the resident as requiring limited assistance of one person for transferring and ambulation. Review of the nursing documentation dated June 22, 2014, noted that at 10:25 a.m., the resident was in the smoking area outside of the 1 South Nursing Unit when the resident fell out of a "regular chair." The activity staff observed the resident laying on his left side. The resident's walker was found in the foyer area on the 1 South Nursing Unit and not with the resident when he went outside to smoke. Review of the facility's investigation into this incident, revealed that the resident sustained [REDACTED]. The resident also was noted with a skin tear to the top of the right hand measuring 1.0 centimeters long x 0.5 centimeters wide and 0.1 centimeters in circumference. Further review of Resident I6's nursing documentation, revealed that on August 8, 2014, at 11:30 p.m., the resident was found outside in the smoking area and the resident had fallen forward out of a chair. The resident stated to the staff that he was trying to sit down on the chair and it slid out from under him. Review of the facility's investigation into this incident confirmed that the resident was found outside of the facility at the smoking area with blood coming from the side of his head. An interview with the Director of Nursing on October 31, 2014, at 11:30 a.m., confirmed that Resident I6 fell from a regular chair and that the resident, at times, leaves his walker behind. The facility failed to ensure that Resident I6's assistive device (his walker) for ambulation was within his reach to reduce the risk of an accident. Observations conducted on October 30, 2014, at 1:20 p.m., of the smoking area outside of the 1 South Nursing Unit, revealed that there were a total of 5 chairs available for resident use, which included two plastic chairs, one chair without arms, and two stacked chairs. The facility failed to ensure the proper supervision and safety of Resident I6 who was found smoking outside of the facility on June 22, 2014, at 10:25 a.m., and on August 8, 2014, at 11:30 p.m., and sustained lacerations to his head, resulting in actual harm to Resident I6. Review of the facility's smoking policy stated that the facility has been designated as a smoking facility. The facility has a designated outside smoking area for residents to smoke which is located at the rear exit on the 1st floor. The front of the building is off limits for smoking at any time. The smoking area is available from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., from April through October and from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., November through March. Smoking material is prohibited to be kept in the residents' rooms. All smoking material must be turned in and kept at the nursing station for safety. Observations conducted on Saturday, November 1, 2014, at 6:10 p.m., revealed that Resident C2 was smoking outside, at the front of the facility while seated on his wheelchair. A pack of cigarettes and a lighter were observed in the right cup holder of the wheelchair. There were no facility staff providing supervision to this resident at the time of the observation. Interview conducted with Resident C2 revealed that the resident, stated to the surveyor, that the lighter was given to him by a nursing assistant and that he kept the cigarettes with him until he went to bed, when he gives the smoking materials back to the nursing staff. Interview with the Nursing Supervisor, Employee E5 on November 1, 2014, at 6:25 p.m., confirmed that the residents were not to have smoking materials on their person. An interview with the Regional Director, Employee E6, on November 1, 2014, at 6:45 p.m., revealed that upon investigation of how Resident C2 obtained the smoking materials, it was revealed that the resident was given the smoking materials by family who visited the resident earlier in the day. In a previous interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on October 30, 2014, at 2:30 p.m., it was revealed that the facility had revised the smoking policy but the residents' families were not told of the revision to the smoking policy.

F314G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observations, review of facility policy, review of clinical records and interviews with staff, it was determined that the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to prevent and/or promote the healing of pressure sores causing actual harm to four of 14 residents with pressure sores. (Residents I77, B19, F52, and J89) Findings include: Review of the facility's " Pressure Ulcer-Prevention and Treatment Policy " dated January 31, 2013, indicated that it was the facility's goal to prevent the development of avoidable pressure ulcers. The policy further stated that routine preventative and daily care would be provided to prevent avoidable pressure ulcers including turning and positioning as well as pressure reduction or relief devices. The policy also indicated that pressure sores that developed would be treated as ordered by the physician and the treatment would be regularly assessed for signs of healing. The physician would be notified of deterioration or failure to improve noted after a two week period for a possible change in treatment to facilitate healing. Review of Resident I77 's [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The resident 's annual assessment (assessment of resident status and care needs dated March 13, 2013 indicated that the resident had severe cognitive impairment and was at risk for pressure ulcer development. In addition, the resident required the extensive assistance of two staff members for repositioning in bed. Review of Resident I77's nursing progress notes dated March 11, 2013 revealed an open area was identified on the resident 's sacrum (a triangular-shaped bone at the bottom of the spine). It was described as a skin tear measuring 2 centimeters in length and 1 centimeter wide. On March 12, 2013, the open area was described as a Stage II pressure wound (partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as a red/pink wound bed, clean without any devitalized tissue). Resident I77's nursing progress notes dated March 11,2 013 revealed that [MEDICATION NAME] ointment (an [MEDICATION NAME] and antiseptic ointment for minor cuts and scrapes) was applied daily on March 11 and March 12, 2013. The physician orders [REDACTED]. Resident I77's wound documentation dated March 27, 2013 revealed that the wound measured 2 centimeters by 1 centimeter with a covering of slough (yellow or white tissue that adheres to the ulcer bed in strings or thick clumbs) Review of the March 29, 2013 physician orders [REDACTED]. Review of Resident I77's wound documentation dated April 10, 2013 indicated that the wound had measureable depth of 0.1 centimeters for the first time. On May 23, 2013 wound documentation, the wound had increased in size and depth measuring 1.7 centimeters by 2 centimeters with a depth of 0.4 centimeters. The wound was described as unstageable (a pressure area that involves full tissue loss in which the wound base can not be visualized because of a covering of dead tissue) due to necrosis (dead tissue) at this time because the wound bed could not be visualized due to necrotic tissue (dead tissue black in color); however, the treatment continued with the March 29, 2013 order for daily Santyl application. Resident I77's wound documentation on June 6, 2013 indicated that the wound was measured as 2 centimeters wide by 2 centimeters long and 1.5 centimeters deep. The wound edges were rolled and inflamed which would impair healing and light drainage was noted. The wound continued to be considered unstageable and the physician orders [REDACTED]. Documentation of Resident I77's wound on June 12, 2013 revealed that the wound now measured 3.2 centimeters by 3 centimeters by 2 centimeters. The wound edges were rolled and inflamed and there was heavy serosanquinous (bloody) drainage. The wound documentation also indicated that tunneling and undermining (an open area underneath the " lip " of the border) was observed under the edge of the wound in three places. From March 13, 2013 until June 12, 2013, a three month period, the facility recorded Resident I77's wound became unstageable due to necrotic (dead) tissue, larger and deeper and developed undermining with heavy serosanquinous (bloody) drainage but did not change the treatment. Review of Resident I77's physician's orders [REDACTED]. This treatment was continued until July 5, 2013 when the Santyl was discontinued and an absorbant dressing was added. Hospice services were started. Resident I77's wound documentation continued to indicate that the wound enlarged and deepened with measurements on August 1, 2013 of 3 centimeters by 3 centimeters by 3 centimeters with moderate drainage and undermining (an open area underneath the " lip " of the border) in two places under the wound margin; however there was no change to the treatment for [REDACTED]. Resident I77's treatment of [REDACTED]. The wound required sharp debridement (surgical removal) on October 11, 2013 of necrotic tissue and muscle. Review of Resident I77's wound documentation indicated that the sacral wound developed in the facility continued to deteriorate over approximately six months and the facility failed to change the treatment timely in consultation with the physician as outlined in the facility Pressure Ulcer Policy resulting in actual harm to Resident I77. Review of Resident B19's annual MDS (Minimum Data Set - an assessment of identified resident status and care needs) dated July 3, 2013, included [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. (progressive disease of the central nervous system characterized by tremors, muscle weakness, and unsteady gait). Review of Resident B19's care plan revised July 6, 2013, indicated actual/potential risk for skin impairment related to chronic, progressive disease, mobility deficit, and bowel/bladder incontinence. Review of the nursing quarterly skin assessment dated [DATE], revealed the resident was at risk for developing pressure sores and had a pressure ulcer risk score of 9 (a score 10 or higher indicates high risk and requires interventions and a care plan according to the assessment directions). The quarterly MDS assessment (assessment of resident status and care needs) indicated the resident was at risk for developing pressure sores and was totally dependent on staff for bed mobility. No new interventions were put into place in the care plan for the resident totally dependent on staff for bed mobility and with impaired skin integrity (pressure reduction or relief devices as per facility policy). Review of Resident B19's nursing progress note dated October 9, 2013, revealed that a stage II intact circular blister measuring 4 centimeters by 4 centimeters was observed on the left heel. Review of the nursing progress note dated October 11, 2013, indicated that a new order for soft heel boots while in bed was noted and initiated (two days after the development of the pressure sore to the left heel). The facility failed to timely implement a care plan to off-load Resident B19's heels (a pressure reduction device) who was totally dependent on staff for bed mobility and at risk for pressure sore development resulting in development of a stage II left heel blister and actual harm to Resident B19. Review of Resident F52's admission MDS (Minimum data set- assessment of resident status and care needs) dated May 13, 2013, included a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The assessment indicated the resident was at risk for developing a pressure ulcer, was receiving hospice services and required the extensive assistance of two people for bed mobility.

Review of physician's orders [REDACTED]. Review of Resident F52's wound care specialist's initial evaluation dated October 4, 2013, revealed an unstageable area (a pressure area that involves full tissue loss in which the wound base can not be visualized because of a covering of dead tissue) due to necrosis (dead tissue) measuring 1 centimeter by 1.1 centimeter to the right heel. The wound care specialist's assessment and plan consisted of skin prep every shift, to float heels in bed, and to off load the heels (elevate heels off the bed). Review of physician's orders [REDACTED]. Review of the wound evaluation flow sheet dated October 11, 2013, revealed an unstageable area with slough (yellow or white tissue that adheres to the ulcer bed in strings or thick clumbs) and eschar (black, brown, or tan tissue that adheres firmly to the wound bed or ulcer edges) to the right heel measuring 0.8 centimeters by 1.0 centimeters. Review of Resident F52's nursing progress note dated October 20, 2013, revealed an open area to the right heel measuring 2 centimeters by 1.5 centimeters with moist slough tissue formation. Review of the treatment administration record indicated that there was no treatment to done to the right heel after the completion of the [MEDICATION NAME] on October 12, 2013 until October 21, 2013 when Resident F52 was seen by the wound care specialist. Interviews with licensed nursing staff Employee E7 and E8 on October 22, 2013, at 11:30 a.m. confirmed that there was no treatment being applied to Resident F52's right heel wound from October 12, 2013, until October 21, 2013 resulting in actual harm to Resident F52 whose wound increase in size and opened during the time no treatment was done. Review of Resident J89 's [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The nursing admission assessment completed on June 21, 2013 revealed a pressure ulcer risk score of 11 ( a score of 10 or above indicates high risk for pressure sore development). . In addition, the admission MDS (Minimum data set- assessment of resident status and care needs) dated June 28, 2013 indicated that the resident was at risk for developing a pressure sore and also required the extensive assistance of two people to move in bed. Review of Resident J89's nursing progress notes dated July 14, 2013 at 6:44 a.m. revealed that an unstageable wound with a dark scab was observed on the resident 's left heel measuring 3 centimeters by 3 centimeters. Review of the resident's care plan revealed that an intervention to off-load pressure on the resident heels was not initiated until July 15, 2013, one day after the development of the pressure sore. An interview with the Director of Nursing on October 22, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. confirmed that Resident J89'st pressure relieving intervention was not put in place to off load the resident's heels ( a pressure reduction device to maintain heels off the bed) who was totally dependent on staff for bed mobility and at high risk for pressure sore development until after the unstageable pressure ulcer on the left heel was identified on July 14, 2013 resulting in actual harm to Resident J89. 28 Pa Code: 201.14(a) Responsibility of licensee Previously cited 9/21/12 28 Pa.
