On 08/27/25 at 11:15 AM, V3, Activities Aide said the incident happened sometime last week she isn't sure of the dated. She said R3 went out to a doctor's appointment by himself and when transportation went to go and pick him up, he wasn't there. She said V1 and two other staff went to look for him and they found him down on state street and he was drunk. V3 said transportation called up to the facility and asked if R3 was back yet and they told them no. She said that's why residents aren't allowed to go by themselves on appointments now someone must go with them. On 08/28/25 at 9:15 AM, R2 said when he goes on appointments the facility will take him in the van or they will have a med car or uber take him sometimes. R2 said after his doctor's appointment on the 19th (August) he was supposed to call the driver of the car service, and the driver would come back and get him, but he didn't do that. He said he found an adventure pass for the bus, so he used it to come back to the facility. He said he wanted to just go sight-seeing, and he returned to the facility about 2:00 PM or 3:00 PM at afternoon. R2 said the time he was found on State/25th street was a different time. He said V5, (R2's friend), had signed him out and he had slipped away from V5 because V5 was being a little irresponsible. R2 said the facility had then called V5 to track him down because V5 would know where to find him. He said V5 found him on 25th street after he spent the night there. R2 said when he is out, he will have a cigarette and a beer sometimes. On 08/28/25 at 11:37 AM, V5, (R2's friend) said on one incident the facility called him and asked if he knew where R2 was at. He said I know where he hangs out, so I went and found him and took him back to the facility. V5 said he did not stay with him that night and he doesn't know where he stayed. V5 said that was the first time R2 had left him like that. V5 said R2 use to work down on 25th street so he knows a lot of people from that area. On 09/02/25 at 11:10 AM, V7, Transportation stated when someone has an appointment, he is the one who makes up all of the resident packets that is sent with them and he is also the one who calls and makes the arrangements for the resident's rides to and from the appointments. He said with R2 he called the insurance company and gave them the information regarding the appointment. The insurance company then will put it out there for someone to pick it up. V7 said he knows on the day of R2's appointment it was A- One med care that picked R2 up from the facility. He said R2 had an envelope with all of information in it and on the back of the envelope was the phone number of the facility and of the car service. V7 said R2 was to either call the car service or he could call the facility to let them know he was done with his appointment and the facility would then call the car service and let them know he was ready to be picked up. V7 said when you call to inform the car service you are ready to be picked up it can take them up to an hour to come and get you. V7 said on this day R2 didn't call the facility or the car service to let them know he was ready to be picked up. He said the car service then called the facility and asked them if they had heard from R2 because it was getting close to time for him to quit for the day and he hadn't heard from R2. The facility told him they haven't seen R2 and that he wasn't at the facility at that time. V7 said he believes Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) was in the facility at the time this all happened. He said some of the staff went over to the doctor's office where R2 had his appointment and were looking for him and he wasn't there. V7, he doesn't believe R2 returned with the staff when they came back either. He said this has happened on several occasions and they haven't been documenting on it. V7 said he know for a fact that on this day V8, Receptionist was on and off the phone with the car service regarding R2. On 09/02/25 at 12:48 PM, V11, (med car transport) said he was the person who took R2 to his doctor's appointment in St. Louis. He said he dropped R2 off at the appointment and just kind of waited around for R2 to get a hold of him after he was done with the appointment, but he never contacted him. He said it was getting late and close to the end of his shift for the day, so he called the facility and checked to see if R2 was there. He said he talked with V8 at the facility and she called the doctor's office and was on hold for 30 minutes and while she was on hold R2 came walking in the doors. V11 said they don't know how he made it home he just showed up. On 09/02/25 at 1:23 PM, V9, Primary Care Physician said R2's baseline is he is cognitively intact with a BIMS of 15 so he can make sound decisions. As for when he is drinking is anybody capable of making sound decisions. V9 said they should always monitor and make sure the resident is okay while they are intoxicated. He said they have policies in place for that to determine their cognition. V9 said if he would expect the facility to assess the resident at that point and time and monitor their alcohol use. It's kind of bordering on resident rights. He would also expect them to make an on-the-spot assessment to determine if they are cognitively impaired in anyway. On 09/02/25 at 1:45 PM, V8, Receptionist said she let R2 know when he was done with his appointment to contact the facility, and they would call the ride company and send them to get him. She said R2 never did contact the facility, and the car company called the facility asking if they knew where R2 was. She said the car company was closing early that day, and they still hadn't heard from R2, and he was calling to check about him. V8 said she did try and contact the doctor's office regarding R2, but she could never get through to anyone and she was on the phone waiting for over a half an hour. She said she was on hold until after 1 PM. She said that was when she informed them (facility staff) here about R2. V8 said he did come in the front door during this time, but she isn't sure how he got here to the facility. She said she was busy working the desk and didn't see how he got here. On 09/02/25 at 2:40 PM, V12, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) said when someone goes on an appointment, they usually send someone with that person, and she doesn't know why he (R2) didn't have someone with him. V12 said no she doesn't feel like R2 is able to make safe decisions at all. She said he wouldn't be here if he was. He's here for a reason. V12 said she has seen R2 here at the facility intoxicated. On 09/02/25 at 2:45 PM, V13, LPN said she usually isn't R2's nurse that she always works on a different hall when she works. She said she heard about R2 and what happened but that's it. She said they usually have someone with them when they go out on an appointment. She doesn't feel R2 is safe to make sound decisions at all. On 09/03/25 at 1:40 PM, V17, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) said 25th and State Street is a busy street, and a lot of people hang out there. She said it depends on what you get yourself into, but that street can be rough. V17 said about six to eight months ago a restaurant located on that street had an employee who was shot and fatally wounded while at work and it was shut down for about three weeks. She said there is a lot of drinking and some people there are doing drugs. She said you will see people begging for $2 or $3 to get themselves something to eat and when they get the money, they will go to the convenience store and buy alcohol. On 09/09/25 at 2:25 PM, V1, Administrator stated she doesn't know why R2 was sent on a doctor's appointment without staff. She said her and two other staff members went to the doctor's office to check and see if he (R2) was there at the office.

The National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP) website defines Deep Tissue Pressure Injury as the following Intact or non-intact skin with localized area of persistent non-blanchable deep red, [NAME], purple discoloration, or epidermal separation revealing a dark wound bed or blood-filled blister. Pain and temperature change often preceded skin color changes. Discoloration may appear differently in darkly pigmented skin. This injury results from intense and or/or prolonged pressure and shear forces at the bone-muscle interface. The wound may evolve rapidly to reveal the actual extend of tissue injury or may resolve without tissue loss. If necrotic tissue, subcutaneous tissue, granulation tissue, fascia, muscle, or other underlying structures are not visible, this indicates full thickness pressure injury (Unstageable, Stage 2 or Stage 4).

Staff should obtain a treatment in place for a pressure ulcer border foam dressing. Depending on wound/pressure ulcer after wound nurse assesses resident's skin, she notifies the wound NP and gets a proper treatment in place. A treatment is expected to be ordered 24 hours of resident being admitted to the facility. Wound NP does rounds every Friday and sends report that night and facility wound nurse gets the facility wound treatment report and changes the orders the same night and the new treatment should start the next day. V2 expects staff to follow facility policies and physician's orders. Restorative and therapy are updated at the Nutrition Assessment Risk (NARs) which assess all residents including residents with pressure ulcers and they are the ones who recommend a resident receive a low air loss mattress. V1 stated she wasn't aware residents including R1 and R3 were admitted to the facility with pressure ulcers not being thoroughly documented, no pressure ulcer treatment in place and that resident's with pressure ulcers care plan not updated, physician's orders not being followed, and physician's orders not being changed/updated. She didn't know why these nurse responsibilities were not carried out. On 3/19/2025 at 11:40 AM V1, Administrator stated when a resident is admitted to the facility the wound nurse is responsible for documenting a pressure ulcer assessment including measurement and what the wound bed looks like and then the wound nurse notifies the wound nurse practitioner, and they round every Friday.

The order is recorded on the physician order sheet in the computer and the MAR or TAR. The following steps are initiated to complete documentation: clarify the order, enter the orders with administration schedule in the computer and transmit to pharmacy and if order is replacing a previous order d/c (discontinue) previous order in the computer. The Facility's Skin Care Prevention Policy, revision date 5/2021 documents all residents will receive appropriate care to decrease the risk of skin breakdown. The nursing department will review all new admission/re-admissions to put a plan in place for prevention based on the resident's activity level, comorbidities, mental status, risk assessment and other pertinent information. Dependent residents will be assessed during care for any changes in skin condition including redness (non-blanching erythema) and this will be reported to the nurse. The nurse is responsible for alerting the health care provider. All residents will be evaluated for changes in their skin condition weekly. All residents unable to reposition themselves will be repositioned as needed, based on a person-centered approach per the resident's plan of care. Educate the resident and resident representative regarding pressure ulcer prevention and treatment as appropriate. The Facility's Skin Management: Pressure Injury Treatment/General Wound Treatment Policy revision date 5/2021, documents routine and PRN treatments in the treatment administration record. Document all significant observations in the nursing progress note. Pressure injuries will be evaluated, and the following areas documented weekly (minimum every 7 days) location, stage, size, depth, presence and location (based on the clock) of undermining/tunneling/sinus tract, exudate: type, color, and approximate amount, pain: nature and frequency, wound bed: color and type of tissue/character including evidence of healing (granulation tissue) or necrosis. Description of wound edges and surrounding tissues (rolled edges, redness, maceration, etc.) The staff will notify the wound nurse upon identification of skin impairment. If the wound nurse is not available, the staff should alert the health care provider for treatment orders. When the wound care team assesses the resident, they will take a picture, measure the wound, review the orders, and update any notes and care plans as appropriate. If a wound shows no signs of healing after three weeks, a reevaluation of the treatment plan including determining whether to continue or modify the current interventions is done. If the decision is made to retain the current regimen, documentation of the rationale for continuing the current plan will occur.

R7's care plan dated 7/8/24 documents, (R7) has a problem with pain and the goal that (R7) will not experience a decline in overall function. R7's interventions for pain documents, to include to administer pain medicine and treatments as ordered, assess effectiveness of pain medication, assess pain characteristics, encourage (R7) to report any pain, monitor for nonverbal indicators of pain, and report any acute changes to the physician. On 7/16/2024 at 11:18 AM, R7 stated, I have cancer and sometimes the pain is bad, especially in the Early hours. The other night around 2:30 AM, on 7/13/24 (Saturday) I called for pain medication and was told there was only 1 pill left and the nurse would be back with the medication. The nurse did not return until around 9:30 AM to give me the medication. On Sunday the next day (7/14/24) there was still no pain medication at the facility. The facility ran out of my oxycodone which I am supposed to get when I need it. They gave me an Ibuprofen in the early hours of the day, but it just does not work the same. I was in so much pain at this point. When I get like that I can't relax and sleep. My body gets all tense, and everything hurts. At 10:15 AM I still did not receive my medication I was told they were waiting on a script. This has happened to me on several occasions, and when it happens on the weekends, forget it; I know they are not getting to do anything about my pain. They do not always give me the same nurse and one nurse will tell me my medication (oxycodone) is running low and she will tell me she placed the order. They use a lot of agency nurses. Then when I run out of medication, they tell me they tried to place the order, but they are waiting on the doctor. I ran out of pain medication and my last dose was on Friday night and I had to go all weekend without my oxycodone. I should not have to be in pain all weekend. I have cancer and the pain is so bad. When I finally get the pain medication it takes a few more days to get me back to where I need to be because the pain was so intense going without the medication. I tried to tell them, but they just ignore me and do not get my medication. My pain falls on their deaf ears. They told me they could take me to the emergency room which hopefully they could give the pain medications, but they were not sure because it was a Sunday and it was around 1 PM, and I might have to wait until Monday for a doctor. Which makes no sense, so I decided to stay here because what was the point? I am needing more pain meds and I was telling them all weekend I was in extreme pain. On 7/18/2024 at 9:45 AM, V31 (Family of R7) stated, (R7) is my brother and I live in Florida. (R7) has liver cancer and there is a tumor growing and the doctors tell us he does not have much time left. The tumor is growing and when he calls me, he talks with me and when he tells me he is so much pain, and he has been struggling with pain, he is not eating, he is not sleeping. (R7) then tells me they do not have his pain medication. It breaks my heart when he calls me and tells me he is pain is so bad and the facility has run out of his pain medication. This usually happens on the weekends, and this has happened several times. I am not sure why or what is happening that he is not getting his pain medication. It is hard to get ahold of staff on the weekends and at 2 AM in the morning. The weekends are really bad. He has a prescription for pain medicine, cancer medicine, and HIV medicine. His pain med (oxycodone) they keep running out of his script, and he goes the weekends without it. We have talked with (V1 Administrator) and (V2 Director of Nursing). They stated they have given instructions to staff, but it is still happening, and it is not getting better. There is some sort of disconnect and his scripts are not getting renewed. Is my understanding staff are putting in the script, but they are not signing off on it, so it is not getting filled. Not sure exactly on whose end that this is happening. My biggest concern is his Pain level, that is a big issue. I want him to comfortable, treated like a human being, and he should not be in pain. The facility should be making sure he is getting pain medication and kept comfortable. R7's Medication Administration Records (MAR) for July 2024 documents his last/first dose of oxycodone was documented as 7/10/2024 at 4:03 AM, and on 7/12/2024 at 8:40 AM.

This nurse informed resident and he admitted that I probably just need my pain pill, it's been a while. Awaiting physician response. On 7/16/2024 at 3:32 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, We have a new physician group and (R7) ran out of medicine over the weekend. (R7) has cancer and I know he was in a lot of pain. The doctor on call said he was not comfortable writing a script for narcotics even for a few days. We asked if he could just write a script for 2 days to get him through the weekend, but he refused. We lost our regular Nurse Practitioners, so it has been tough for us getting someone in here to write scrips. I told the Medical Director and he said he sent someone to cover but the doctors and NP are not comfortable covering us over the weekends. On 7/18/2024 at 10:24 AM, V1 (Administrator) stated, Our previous pharmacy closed its door and we had to switch pharmacy companies. It came as a shock for us. They said they were having trouble finding staff and closed their doors. We switched companies and this new company is based upstate. We are having issues with physicians not wanting to call in scripts and issues with the Nurse Practitioners (NP) not coming in the building and filling scripts. Our previous NP has been out on leave, but we are hoping she will be returning soon.

The Pain Management Program is based on a facility -wide commitment to resident comfort. Pain is defined as whatever the experiencing person says it is and exists whenever he or she says it does. 'Pain Management' is defined as the process of alleviating the resident's pain to a level that is acceptable to the resident and is based on his or her clinical condition and established treatment goals.

She stated the last time R1 was seen on 8/10/23 was at 10:30 PM and was later found in a grassy area near the facility by staff. On 8/24/2023 at 12:45 PM V15 (Dietary Aide) stated he has seen R1 trying to get out of the facility. On 8/24/23 at 1:14 PM, V16 (Laundry Aide) stated R1 wanders throughout the building and often stands by the doors and watches the cats outside. On 8/24/23 at 1:20 PM, V11 (CNA) stated, R1 has tried to get out of the facility before and can be combative at times. She stated someone must have shut off the alarm without checking to see if anyone was outside. On 8/24/23 at 1:58 PM, V22 (Ombudsman) stated she was not made aware of R1's elopement, but sometimes during the day they let residents on the independent side of the building go outside, and the door at the end of the Women's Hall is left unlocked. She stated, she has seen residents trying to get out of the building. On 8/24/23 at 2:18 PM, V21 (CNA) stated she remembers R1 being anxious that day and trying to get out of the facility. On 8/24/23 at 3:17 PM, V23 (CNA) stated R1 wanders around the facility and pushes on the doors. On 8/24/23 at 3:25 PM, V25 (CNA) stated R1 wanders the halls all the time and shakes the door handles. On 8/24/23 at 3:29 PM, V29 (LPN) stated R1 is very confused. On 8/25/23 at 8:30 AM, V26 (CNA) stated, R1 kept going back and forth to the door and setting off the alarm on 8/10/23. She stated, everybody watches (R1) because he is always wandering and needs to be redirected. She reported cleaning R1 up around 8:30-9:00 PM and took a break between 10:15 and 10:30 PM. R1's roommate usually likes to keep his door closed, and when she walked by around 2:30 AM she noticed R1 wasn't in there. V13 (CNA) stated, she was told he was in the hospital. I checked with the nurse (V28), and she said R1 was not on the list of hospitalized residents. I said, We've gotta find (R1). He has dementia and likes to walk. We went outside, couldn't find him anywhere. I can't remember who found him, but he was responding and talking. He said, his shoulder hurt. He was lying on his right side and that was the shoulder he complained about. (R1) had a bruise over his right eye that looked like he had fallen. He was wearing a pair of jeans; that is all I remember. He was also, wearing a diaper; we brought him in and cleaned him up. He had urinated in his diaper. I don't know how he got out. I think someone turned off the alarm and didn't look to see if he was out there. On 8/25/23 at 9:11 AM, V27 (Business Office Manager) stated, he got a call around 4:45 AM on 8/11/23 from V1. He was here by 5:00 AM and joined the search for R1. He looked at the field in back and it was starting to get light out. He came around a large mound of gravel and saw R1 lying on the ground by the back of the church building. He stated, R1 was just lying there and responded when spoken to. V27 called the nurses, and they assessed R1 and put him in a wheelchair. V27 could not recall whether R1 was wearing shoes but remembers him wearing a white shirt and jeans which were covered in grass. V27 showed surveyors where R1 was found. This was estimated to be about 250 yards from the street on which the facility resides with a speed limit of 35 mph (miles per hour), and 400 yards from Interstate 255 with a speed limit of 65 mph. On 8/25/2023 at 9:45 AM, V28 (LPN) stated, I came in 8/10/2023 at 10:45 PM. The nurse, (unknown), who gave me report was very flustered. I did not get a detailed report. There were all kinds of room changes and residents wanting my attention at the beginning of my shift. I was working with a seasoned CNA, I don't remember her name, but she was doing rounds and she said everyone was ok. Later in our shift, I'm not sure what time, a CNA asked where (R1) was. V13 said R1 was at the hospital. We saw he wasn't sent to the hospital. We immediately did a full facility check. I drove my car around and shined my lights in the grassy area. I then called the Police and the DON (V2). (R1) was found lying on his right side. We rolled him over on his back and did range of motion. We stood him up and put him in a wheelchair. The Corporate Team was here, and they assessed him. I did not do a full body assessment. R1 had on a shirt and pants. I don't know if he had shoes on or not. He complained of pain all over, but mostly on the right side. The (Local Police Department) Report dated 8/11/23 at 4:14 AM by V54 (Police Officer) documents, I, (V54), responded to (Facility) located at (Address) in reference to a missing person report. Upon arrival, I spoke with (V28), who stated, a resident by the name of (R1) had not been seen since approximately 1500hrs, (3:00 PM), on 8/10/2023. (V28) stated, when she arrived at work at 2300hrs (11:00 PM) on 8/10/2023, she was advised by the on-shift CNA (V13), that (R1) had been sent out, however, there was no chart of which hospital he was transported to or what time he left. (V28) stated, (R1) normally walks the halls, however, he has never left the facility. V28 stated, they have a receptionist normally sitting at the desk and advised her (R1) never left facility that they saw. (V28) stated, the company removed the camera system, so there was no way of seeing if he left the building. (V28) provided me with a picture of (R1) which was forwarded to my shift, in case they noticed anyone walking in the area matching the description of (R1). I requested to check (R1)'s room, at which time I was escorted to his room, where I noticed his bed was still made, and both of roommates were sleeping. As I exited the room, I spoke with (V13), who stated she came into work at 2200hrs (10:00 PM) and when she checked (R1)'s room, she noticed the bed was made, and asked the nurse she was relieving where (R1) was, and she advised he had been sent out, but nothing further. I asked the facility administrator (V1) if they wanted (R1) entered as missing, and she stated yes. I then requested dispatch enter (R1) as missing and was provided the FOLLOWING LEADS.

Nobody from the facility let me know that my father was gone or that my brother had signed him out. I do not think my brother intentionally meant my father any harm, but he just does not understand how my dad's health has declined so much. My dad does not have any legs and in the past, he was able to get around in an electric wheelchair, but he has been so sick and had such a decline that he is not the same person my brother remembers. It is dangerous for my dad to be left alone without any help. (R2) is currently at the hospital because I called around trying to find (R2). I called the bus station, and they were able to find him.

On 5/3/2023 at 3:32 PM, V19 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stated, If a staff member came and told me my patient was LOA (Leave of Absence) I would check the Medication Administration Record with the Physician Order Sheet (POS) and make sure they have their medication for the duration of their leave, and document everything in the resident's chart. I would make sure I documented the medication was sent with the resident in the chart. I do know if I gave (R2) his medication. I am agency and not familiar with all of the residents. Nothing is ringing a bell. I will need to speak with (V1). On 5/3/2223 at 3:34 PM, V20 (LPN) stated, I am agency nurse.

On 5/3/2023 at 3:52 PM, V27 (LPN) stated, I was not (R2's) nurse so I would not have given out any medications to him. When we give out medications for LOA, we are supposed to check the POS and give out the right amount of medicine for the right amount of days. Document that the medication was given to the resident in the Nurse's Notes and document in the Medication Administration Record that the resident is in leave. On 5/5/2023 at 12:03 PM, V22 (Medical Director) stated, As far as a resident going out LOA, it would depend on the medicine and if the resident would even take the medicine. If a resident does not want to take a medicine, we cannot force them to take the medicine. As far as (R2) it is hard to say. (R2) was not competent and he does what he wants to do. I cannot say by not taking the medication it increased his risk or put him in the hospital. (R2) is not competent and is confused. (R2) is smart enough to get away but not competent enough to be able to take care of himself. The Medication Administration Policy, with a revision date of 3/2022 documents, All medications are administered appropriately to aid residents to overcome illness, relieve and prevent symptoms and help in diagnosis.

Based on interview and record review the facility failed to implement safety measures to prevent resident to resident abuse for 3 of 5 residents ( R21, R39, R110) reviewed for abuse in the sample of 47. This failure resulted in R21's repeated acts of abuse. This resulted in R110 sustaining a facial laceration, facial injury, and corneal abrasion. Findings include: 1. R21's Face Sheet, undated, documents R21 has a diagnosis of Paranoid Schizophrenia, Major Depressive Disorder (Recurrent) and Alcohol Abuse. R21's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents R21 has severe cognitive impairment. R21's Care Plan, dated 4/11/22, documents R21 is at risk for abuse/neglect, is verbally aggressive and difficult to redirect at times and has a history of peer-to-peer altercations. R21 has a history of aggressive behavior and has a past history of verbal and physical altercations and becomes easily irritated with peers. R21 has a history of criminal behavior and has been charged with aggravated battery, resisting police, criminal damage to property and assault with a deadly weapon. A state official with the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and the State Police performed a Criminal History Analysis and determined the resident to be moderate risk. R21 has the following interventions listed: 15-minute check program for increased monitoring for behavior reduction. R21's 15-minute resident monitoring sheets were reviewed with no documentation of 15-minute checks being performed 4/21/22 through 3/8/23. R21's Criminal History Analysis Security Recommendation Report, dated 11/7/14, documents R21 is at moderate risk and requires closer supervision and more frequent observation than standard or routine for most residents in an open facility. Regular monitoring should be attentive to behavioral changes that may signal a need for closer observation or sustained visual monitoring on a time-limited basis. Periodic assessments should ascertain whether the level of supervision is sufficient. The following specific considerations were important in arriving at the above recommendations: R21 is a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the nursing facility on 9/30/14. His criminal history consisted of convictions for aggravated battery, resisting a peace officer and criminal damage to property. The most recent occurred in June 2014, and he is currently on 2 years special probation. The resident interview noted he said he gets in random fights here and there, numerous arrests for battery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, served one year in department of corrections for assault. His diagnosis is a major psychiatric disorder, and he has a history of alcohol/drug dependence. Nursing facility staff reported satisfactory behavior since his admission except for once incident, swung his fist at another resident. Progress notes cited incidents of verbal aggression and one incident of physical aggression when he punched another resident in the arm. His compliance with psychiatric treatment and abstinence from alcohol/dry use should be closely monitored. In view of his criminal history, past and recent incidents of verbal/physical aggression and current legal circumstances, a moderate risk supervision status is recommended. In the event his psychiatric condition escalates, and additional incidents occur, a high-risk supervision status is recommended. High risk - The resident requires a single room in close proximity to the nursing station to permit ongoing visual monitoring. The level of observation should be sufficient for early detection of behavioral changes. Regular assessment is necessary to determine whether closer monitoring or more frequent individual contact is indicated. The Facility Incident Report, dated 12/11/22, documents R110 was observed striking a female staff member. R21 states that he doesn't like to see a man put their hands on a woman and he felt the need to defend the staff. R21 states he struck R110 in the face one time. R110 was noted with a laceration above his right eye and was sent to the emergency room for evaluation and treatment.

On 03/22/23 at 12:58 PM V19 (Pharmacist) stated, she expects all medications including insulin to be administered per physician's orders. A blank box on the resident's MAR possibly means the nurse didn't document the insulin wasn't administered. V19 expects the nurse to sign off when insulin was administered. If the resident didn't receive the scheduled 9:00 AM dose of insulin on 03/20/23 that is considered a significant medication error and could have cause the hyperglycemia she experienced on the morning of 03/21/23.

On 06/14/2018 at 1:04 PM, V2, Director of Nursing stated pedal pulses should be documented in the Progress Notes and or Daily Skilled Notes. On 6/15/2018 at 11:45 PM, V2, Director of Nursing (DON), stated, I would expect the Daily Skilled Nursing Assessments to be completed on (R2) after he came back from the hospital. No pedal pulses were completed on (R2) because when he came back from the hospital the [MEDICAL CONDITION] was not specified where it occurred. Why would he need pedal pulses? No there is no documentation from the Wound Nurse for (R2) or pedal pulses being taken. On 06/18/2018 at 4:00 PM, V2 stated I was unaware of the site where the blood clot occurred on (R2). I am not responsible for his direct care. The nurses knew the site and I would expect nurses to access the area for redness, swelling and check the pedal pulses daily, which they were doing. On 06/15/2018 at 10:32 AM, V34, Quality Assurance Wound Nurse stated I was not treating (R2) until the blister occurred on 04/24/2018. It was not an open area nothing on (R2) was documented in the Wound Rounds. There is no documentation because it was not opened. The bandages for (R2) were more of a prevention versus a treatment. Once the blisters came I started seeing him every day up until he went out to the hospital. There was no documentation in R2's medical record regarding when V34 completed the treatment to R2's leg, what type of assessment and evaluation was completed to determine the status of the blisters and the condition of his right leg. The Facility was unable to provide any documentation verifying the Wound Care Nurse was monitoring the leg or blisters on the leg. No pedal pulses documentation or dressing changes for (R2) was available for review. On 06/15/2018 at 1:24 PM, V9, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated, Yes, those are my initials on the Hospital Discharge Sheet. The check marks are there so I do not miss any medication. As I put the medications in the computer I check them off the list. A box will pop up on the computer and you select the [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. I am responsible for transferring the information to the computer. Next to the box the following is documented [MEDICAL CONDITION] to right leg. On 06/20/2018 at 12:00 PM, V36, Vascular Surgeon stated If (R2) had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. I would expect it would take days to weeks for a foot to turn black depending on the circulation and how severe the circulation was or was not getting to the foot. As far as detecting it earlier if there was no pedal pulse I would expect (R2) to be sent out immediately for evaluation. 2.

This MAR indicated [REDACTED]. On 06/14/2018 at 2:55 PM, V24, Physician, stated, When I increase [MEDICATION NAME], I will write resume original order, then order a BMP (Basic Metabolic Panel). It really depends on how the order is written. Common practice is after an increase you go back to original order. The nurses should have clarified the order. V24 further stated the fact that (R7) did not go back on his maintenance dose of [MEDICATION NAME] after the increases contributed to him being sent to the hospital. On 06/18/2018 at 1:37 PM, V4, stated, I expect staff to return to the maintenance dose after an increase of [MEDICATION NAME] or clarify the order. (R7) not receiving any [MEDICATION NAME] could have contributed to (R7) being hospitalized . On 06/18/2018 at 2:13 PM, V33, Licensed Practical Nurse, (LPN), stated, I did not enter the order to resume (R7) 20 mg of [MEDICATION NAME] after the increase of [MEDICATION NAME] because the order was not written that way. I have no idea where the order for 20 mg of [MEDICATION NAME] came from on 3/19/2018 it was on the MAR indicated [REDACTED] On 06/18/2018 at 3:15 PM, V33 stated she did not clarify that the original order for [MEDICATION NAME] should be resumed after the increase because the order was for a week and the NP would be back in house in a week.

On 06/18/2018 at 2:50 PM, V4 stated, The missing 40 mg of [MEDICATION NAME] on 3/19/2018 was definitely a medication error. It is hard to say if that would have kept him out of the hospital.

Inspection of April 11, 2018

1 finding
F600K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

Based on interview and record review the facility failed to protect three of seven residents (R36, R60 and R97) reviewed for abuse in the sample of 69. R219 sexually abused these seven female residents on multiple occasions. This deficient practice has the potential to affect all 48 female residents in the facility. This failure resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. While the immediacy was removed on 4/10/18, the Facility remains out of compliance at a severity level two as the facility continues to in-service and educate all staff on the abuse policy and evaluating the effectiveness of the abuse policies and procedures, reviews all residents for sexual inappropriate behaviors, and implement interventions to protect the residents in the facility.

R219's Care Plan documents in part, expressing inappropriate behaviors. The intervention listed is documented as continue to monitor medication, activities of daily living and behaviors. Under the [MEDICAL CONDITION] medication section, (R219) has a history of expressing inappropriate behaviors towards others. The intervention documents, monitor for changes with behaviors, when expressing inappropriate behaviors redirect and explain appropriate actions. When needed provide 1:1 monitoring. Resident has a history of aggressive, inappropriate, attention-seeking and/or maladaptive behavior, but has demonstrated stability during the admission screening process and is therefore considered appropriate for admission. The Goal is listed as the resident will not touch or rub any of his fell ow peers while he is a resident in the program (5/25/2017). The intervention is documented as Intervene when any inappropriate behavior is observed. Communicate assertively that the resident must exercise control over impulses and behavior. The Care Plan, dated 05/25/2017, further documents in part, Focus- maladaptive behavior, Goal- The residents will not touch or rub any of his fell ow peers while he is a resident in the program. On 4/04/2018 at 3:17 PM, V3, Care Plan Nurse, reported when she initiated R219's Care Plan she probably looked at the History and Physical (H&P) that came from the hospital prior to R219's admittance on 5/25/2017, but could not remember. V3 stated, Inappropriate or maladaptive behavior could be verbal, harm to self or others, sexual. It doesn't necessarily mean sexual. V3 reported she heard nothing said about R219 being sexually inappropriate when he was admitted . V3 stated one-to-one observation is when a person is with the resident observing them. V3 reported it could be initiated by the physician or nurse. V3 reported R219 was on a 15 minute observation status for his entire stay at the facility as are all of the residents who are on Daisy Drive, which is the independent behavioral hall. V3 reported it is the responsibility of the Psycho-social Technicians on that hall to document on each resident on that hall every 15 minutes. When V3 was asked what close monitoring means, V3 stated, 15 minutes checks are close monitoring. R219's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS)score of 15 out of 15, indicating he was cognitively intact. The MDS documents R219 can walk in his room with staff supervision, oversight, and encouragement of cueing. R219 is documented as having physical behavioral symptoms directed towards others such as hitting, kicking, pushing, scratching, grabbing, and abusing others sexually and this is documented as occurring 1 to 3 days per week. The facility's Occurrence Investigation and Resolution Report, dated 02/12/2018 documents, in part, Our investigation has included interview of all known potential witnesses, Housekeeping staff (V10) was in the dining room and observed (R219) to be looking about himself in a suspicious manner and felt that he had reached out toward a female resident. Several other residents were also present in the dining room at this time. This housekeeper asked a male CNA who was present to observe (R219) and ensure safety while she went to report to Social Services. (R219) was then invited to the East Hall Dining Room as a precaution pending initial investigation. None of the other persons present observed inappropriate contact between (R97) and (R219). However, when asked, (R97) indicated that (R219) had touched her upper body. We were unable to question her further due to her significant cognitive impairment. We conclude from available evidence that this event did occur. (R219) has been under constant observation since the initial report. He has not been deprived of adequate socialization and freedom of movement; he has cooperated voluntarily with remaining on his hall, dining space which includes recreation/dining spaces. His guardian has agreed to support transfer to other living arrangements.

I observed (R219) grabbing and touching the breast area of (R97) from the outside of her sweatshirt several times throughout the incident using my department issued camera. I later logged the video into the evidence as exhibit #1. (V2), police officer and I attempted to speak with (R97). I asked (R97) about the incident and she did not respond. (R97) mumbled something that I could not understand. I called (V15, Sergeant Police Officer) who stated he would not be making the scene and not to make an arrest at this time due to the mental health issues surrounding (R219).

She told me she would contact me when she had further information. At approximately 10:20 AM, (V9) contacted me, and stated she had met with (V1) and the (V2), Director of Nursing of the facility. She said she wanted to pursue charges against (R219) on (R97)'s behalf. Police Report, dated 02/14/2018 at 5:13 PM, documents: On 02/14/2018, (V9) arrived at the police department and signed a Police Department Victim Protocol Form on (R97's) behalf indicating she wanted to pursue criminal charges against (R219). Additional Information: On 02/13/2018, police officer, (V13), responded to the facility to meet with (R219) and conduct an audio/video recorded interview with him regarding this investigation. Upon arrival, we spoke with (V1) and (V2). We advised them we were investigating a complaint involving (R97) and (R219) and requested to conduct an interview with (R219) regarding his involvement. The interview began at approximately 1:58 PM. (R219) was advised that everything in the room was being audio and video recorded. (R219) was advised he was not under arrest but I told him I would be reading him his Rights per Miranda.

(R219) stated he believed it was wrong to do what he did to (R97). The interview was concluded at approximately 2:21 PM. On 03/21/2018 at 1:30 PM, V1, Administrator, stated, (R219) is no longer in the building. The police came and got him, arrested him and put him in handcuffs. When asked why R219 was arrested, V1 responded I don't know. On 03/23/2018 at 9:10 AM, V1 stated, No, I am not really aware of (R219's) behavior history. I started working here on 12/01/2017 so I can only speak from 12/2017 and forward. I had some generalization that he had some behaviors that were inappropriate. The Director of Nursing (V2, DON) and I were not personally aware of (R219's) history. One instance, a single incident soon after he got here, there was an incident with an alert and oriented resident who he attempted to touch (R106). This was investigated. V1, Administrator, stated The only residents I am aware of sexually inappropriate behavior by (R219) are (R97) and (R60). There was an incident in (MONTH) with (R97) and (R219). I called the police, I wasn't aware of what they did. I have reason to believe the incident at my sister facility also was taken into investigation with the police. On 03/29/2018 at 5:01 PM, V1 stated, I was the one who had called the police regarding (R97). (R219) admitted to doing it. The police officer and I reviewed the video surveillance and saw that he had touched (R97) inappropriately in the dining room and a few days later (R219) was arrested. On 03/23/2018 at 3:18 PM, V1 stated, (V10), Housekeeper, is the one who made the initial complaint and got a hold of (V11), Psych-Social Services Coordinator. (V10) could not remember the name of the resident she was concerned about. (V10) did not talk to me. I believe she (V10) originally thought the resident was (R93) because she was not sure of the name. We (myself and police) went to the cameras. This happened in the dining room, and after viewing the camera we were able to identify (R97) and (R219's) behavior. I looked at the camera, immediately and that is when we discovered (R219) had touched (R97's) breast. I was not able to make contact with (V10) until 3 days later, and I went back to the camera to confirm that (R219) did not touch (R93), but (R219) touched (R97's) breast instead. No, (V10) did not contact me, she contacted (V11). On 4/04/2018 at 3:45 PM, V1 reported R219 was on one-to-one observation status from 2/12/2018 at 6:00 PM until he left the facility with the local police on 2/16/2018 at 10:45 AM. V1 reported this is documented on the forms entitled, 15 Minute Observation and documents the behavior for inappropriate behavior, wandering. V1 reported the one to one observation form needs to be redone to be more specific to one-to-one observation. V1 reported the facility has no policies or procedures for observation status of any resident at this time. V1 reported, Constant monitoring would essentially mean one-to-one observation monitoring. That would mean to keep them in sight. When in bed they can monitor him (R219) from the hallway. R97's Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents R97 was unable to complete the BIMS test and was scored as severe cognitive impairment. The MDS also documents (R97) is in a wheelchair, not steady, and only able to stabilize with staff assistance from a seated to standing position, walking and surface to surface transfers.

With that in mind, staff went with the assumption that (R2) was choking. There were no visible food particles in her mouth at the start of the Heimlich maneuver. Staff began doing the Heimlich immediately, with no positive result, Staff removed (R2) from the dining area. Staff then placed her in the TV (television) room, for privacy and to continue the Heimlich. EMS (emergency medical services) had been called on the onset, and had arrived at this time.

The Report further documents, AOS (arrived on scene) to find PT (patient) unresponsive, not breathing, sitting in a chair. RN (Registered Nurse) on scene stated PT was eating dinner when she started choking. RN stated performed Heimlich on the PT and was able to get a piece of food dislodged and out of her mouth. RN stated PT was not breathing at that point and was unresponsive. RN stated she could not feel a pulse and PT is a DNR so CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) was not started. PT was placed on the cardiac monitor showing asystole in 2 leads. RN had the PT's original copy (orange) of the DNR in hand. DNR was filled out properly and all signatures. DNR was honored by EMS. RN contacted (local) county Coroner. PT was left in the care of RN. R2's DNR was signed by her and witnessed on [DATE].

She had a [DEVICE] (gastrostomy tube) but on [DATE] [DEVICE] was pulled out and not replaced. She is receiving a mechanical soft diet and requires some assistance with her meals. Interventions-[DATE]: Supervision required. Remind (R2) to take small bites/sips, reduce rate of intake and alternate food with liquid wash. Monitor for signs/symptoms of aspiration: coughing, abnormal lung sounds, elevated temperature. Staff to provide assistance with her meals. On [DATE] at 9:40 AM, E7, Certified Nurses Aide (CNA), stated, It was a hot dog. I was in the dining room serving trays. We serve and observe residents at the same time. (R2) is a mechanical soft and always needs assistance. She feeds herself, I didn't serve her tray. She sits in the back. The hot dog-I can't say if it was cut up. My back was turned to get a tray. I heard someone say (R2) was choking. I turned and saw (R2) with her head down. I said (her name)-no response. She was moving and breathing. I assumed she was choking. I was the closest to her. I started the Heimlich on her. Some hot dog was coming up. Another CNA hollered for a nurse. (E5, LPN) came running. I grabbed her feet and we took her to the TV room and shut the door. She wasn't coughing. It happened so fast. I started crying. I loved (R2). I came out once the nurses took over. I took care of her every day. I've never known her to choke. You have to observe her and see the amount she eats. No trouble swallowing I was aware of. I never opened her mouth to look into it. I was doing the Heimlich the whole time. On [DATE] at 10:00 AM, E5 stated, I heard they needed a nurse STAT (without delay). I ran in there. (R2) was slumped in a chair. No coughing or gasping. She was bluish in color. A CNA-I don't remember who was there. I started the Heimlich, I checked her mouth. It had a little chewed up food on the side of her jaw. I removed the food and continued the Heimlich. There was me and a lot of staff. She was reclined in a high back wheelchair. I had to lean over the back of the wheelchair. At one point she took a breath. We continued until EMS came. The EMS checked for pulse-don't think she had one. They put on EKG (electrocardiogram) leads to see if she had a rhythm. There was no activity. The coroner and (Z2) did not come out (to the facility). The coroner gave authorization to release (R2) to the funeral home. I didn't see her tray. There was a lot of staff in the dining room. You have to tell (R2) to slow down when eating. It happened so suddenly. On [DATE] at 10:22 AM, E6, CNA, reported she was passing meal trays on [DATE] when she heard someone yelling and went over to help R2. E6 reported E7 was performing the Heimlich maneuver on R2 with no response. E6 reported she helped E7 take R2 to the TV room. E6 reported R2 had thrown up. E6 reported staff had to sit at the table to watch R2 eat, but she fed herself. E6 reported she did not know if any staff had been sitting with her at the time she began to choke. On [DATE] at 1:50 PM, E10, CNA, reported she was passing meal trays and had been standing and facing the service window when another CNA told me (R2) wasted a drink. E10 stated, I was standing to the side of the table where (R2) was seated. I went over there to see if she needed another drink. I walked in front of her and saw her head slumped. Her hair was falling forward. I looked down and saw some spit coming out of her mouth. I hollered for another CNA and to get a nurse. The dining room was full of CNA's. With (R2), you just watch her. She eats real fast, but can feed herself. Two or three CNA's came over, and they got the nurse (E5). A nurse or a CNA began the Heimlich maneuver. After that, I got out of the way. (R2) needs encouragement to put food in her mouth one bite at a time and not eat so fast. On [DATE] at 11:10 AM, E11, LPN, reported she responded to the call for help in the dining room during dinner on [DATE]. E11 reported when she entered the area, R2 was slumped over, and E7 was behind R2. E11 reported R2's eyes were open, and her body was jerking due to the Heimlich maneuver. E11 reported R2 was not coughing or gasping when she initially came in to the dining room. E11 reported R2 briefly became responsive, gasped for air and looked around a little. E11 reported she opened R2's mouth, did not see anything and did a finger sweep of her mouth. E11 reported there was nothing in R2's mouth, but had food on her clothes. E11 reported after R2 was moved to the TV room there was a pulse and her color was normal. E11 stated, She was still with us. E11 reported R2 again became unresponsive, and the Heimlich was again performed, with no food return. E11 reported then R2 had no pulse or respirations. E11 reported E9, LPN, checked R2's code status which was DNR. E11 reported she left the area when EMS arrived and took over. E11 reported R2 tried to shove everything in her mouth very quickly and food would spill onto her clothes. The same thing with drinks. On [DATE] at 10:55 AM, E13, Cook, reported he had prepared R2's evening meal on [DATE]. E13 stated, It was mechanical hot dog, crumbled up with bread, mashed potatoes and fruit cocktail. I don't know who served it to (R2). I was back in the kitchen preparing other trays. I didn't hear or see anything. On [DATE] at 10:49 AM, E9, LPN, reported she did not play a big part with R2 that evening, but did call 911 (emergency number) and the EMS came quickly. E9 stated, I have watched (R2) eat. She would shove food in her mouth, you had to really watch her at the dining room table, She would eat with her hands. She did not like assistance. She would get mad and pout like a child. On [DATE] at 12:35 PM, E8, CNA, reported she was in the dining room when she heard someone was choking. E8 stated, I turned around. I was facing the service window. I saw a girl trying to Heimlich her (R2), and nothing came up. (R2) was unconscious with no response. Some of the nurses came in and took her to the TV parlor area. I stayed in the dining room. I saw EMS come and go in there. (R2) always ate on her own and fed herself. She liked to eat real fast, piling food in her mouth. I didn't see anyone sitting with her that day. She was beginning to turn blue at the dining room table. On [DATE] at 3:30 PM, Z2, Physician, was asked if R2 should have had staff sit with her during meals. Z2 stated, I can't tell you off hand. She (R2) puts stuff in her mouth and forgets to chew. That's why I wrote the order like that, so she should slow down. She is more than mildly, but is moderately developmentally disabled with significant cognitive impairment. I wrote to monitor during a meal, and it's a good idea to sit there to remind her. Given the situation, they should sit with her. It happens that quickly, a tragic thing. It's hard to say if staff was negligent. My impression is they should keep an eye on her. The same thing could have happened if they were watching her, but they would have been aware sooner to help her. On [DATE] at 10:25 AM, Z4, Paramedic, reported R2 was sitting in a wheelchair, unconscious, unresponsive with no vital signs or respirations when EMS arrived on the scene [DATE]. Z4 stated, We hooked her to a monitor-in asystole, I believe. Told she had been eating, started choking and they did the Heimlich. I don't recall if they told me they did chest compressions. If she had no DNR, start CPR. Because she had a DNR, nothing we could do. Negative for removing food. There was a piece of hot dog on the floor, a small piece. Like it was cut up. (R2) had no signs of life. I don't recall if they did vital signs, The Heimlich was done. Usually you start with the Heimlich. If not effective and when they become unconscious, you do chest compressions. If no pulse and had a DNR, no chest compressions. On [DATE] at 10:35 AM, Z5, EMT (emergency medical technician), reported he also responded to the 911 call with Z4 on [DATE]. Z5 stated, We went to the private room and she (R2) was sitting in a wheelchair, unresponsive, not breathing. I could tell she choked on something, food-emesis all over her. I think there was brown emesis on the floor, if I'm not mistaken. She (R2) was obviously dead. She was a normal color-had just passed. She had started to turn cool to the touch. We placed EKG electrodes on her and confirmed she was flat lined-asystole. (Z4) called (local hospital) to report and received the time of death. We stuck around and the staff called the coroner. We helped get her in bed so her father could see her, staff had shown us a signed DNR. On [DATE] at 2:00 PM, E1, Administrator, and E2, Director of Nursing (DON), reported they could not confirm that any staff were sitting and supervising R2 during the evening meal on [DATE]. The facility's Meal Service policy and procedure, dated ,[DATE], documents, in part, Residents who require feeding or dining supervision must eat in the dining room. Residents are positioned in an upright position to prevent choking or aspiration. Residents are encouraged to eat by all facility staff, as part of the dining room supervision. The facility's Choking: Heimlich Maneuver policy and procedure, dated as reviewed ,[DATE], documents, in part, The Heimlich maneuver is performed on victims whose airway is obstructed by a foreign object. All staff trained to do the Heimlich maneuver. PR(NAME)EDURE: To identify a complete obstruction if the victim is able to speak or cough. Do not do the Heimlich maneuver on anyone who is coughing or talking. Perform thrusts until the foreign body is expelled or victim becomes unconscious. Once the victim is unconscious: Call for help. Try 2 rescue breaths, give 30 chest compressions, look for the object in the airway, if present remove. If no object present, attempt 2 rescue breaths and repeat process. Repeat sequence until resident is breathing or paramedics arrive. The web site, entitled patient.info/doctor/choking-and foreign-body-airway-airway-obstruction-fbaoand entitled Choking and Foreign Body Airway Obstruction (FBAO) documents, in part, Choking is the physiological response to sudden obstruction of the airways. FBAO causes asphyxia and is a terrifying condition, occurring very acutely, with the patient often unable to explain what is happening to them. If severe, it can result in rapid loss of consciousness and death if first aid is not undertaken quickly and successfully. Immediate recognition and response are of the utmost importance. Choking due to inhalation of a foreign body usually occurs whilst eating. Severe Obstruction-This is indicated by: The victim being able to breathe or speak/vocalize. Wheezy breath sounds. Attempts at coughing that are quiet or silent. Cyanosis and diminishing conscious level. The victim is unconscious. Choking is a risk whenever food is consumed. FBAO represents a true medical emergency in adults, with a mortality rate of just over 3 % (percent). MANAGEMENT-Adults. In severe obstruction in a conscious patient: Stand to the side and slightly behind the victim, support the chest with one hand and lean the victim well forwards. Give up to 5 back blows between the should blades with the heel of your other hand (checking after each if the obstruction has been relieved). If unsuccessful, give up to 5 abdominal thrusts. Continue alternating 5 back blows and 5 abdominal thrusts until successful or the patient becomes unconscious. In an unconscious patient: Lower to the floor. Call an ambulance immediately. Begin CPR (even if a pulse is present in the unconscious victim). The Adult First Aid/CPR/AED (Automated External Defibrillator) ready reference guide from the American Red Cross (undated), page 4 documents, in part, UNCONSCIOUS CHOKING, chest does not rise with rescue breaths. After checking the scene and the injured or ill person: 1. Give rescue breaths, re tilt the head and give another rescue breath. 2. Give 30 chest compressions. If the chest still does not rise, give 30 chest compressions. TIP: Person must be on firm, flat surface. Remove CPR breathing barrier when giving chest compressions. 3. Look for and remove object if seen. 4. Give 2 rescue breaths. If breaths do not make the chest rise-repeat steps 2 through 4. If the chest clearly rises-CHECK for breathing. Give CARE based on conditions found. CPR-No breathing. 1. Give 30 chest compressions. 2. Give 2 rescue breaths. 3. Do not stop. Continue cycles of CPR. Do not stop CPR except in one of these situations: You find obvious signs of life, such as breathing, an AED is ready to use. Another trained responder or EMS personnel take over. You are too exhausted to continue. The scene becomes unsafe.

A. Based on observation, interview and record review, the Facility failed to implement progressive interventions to prevent falls for three of six residents (R1, R10, R17) reviewed for falls in a sample 24. This failure resulted in R1 falling and being hospitalized with a right hip fracture. This failure also resulted in R10 falling and being hospitalized with a left femoral neck fracture. Findings include: 1. The Facility's Unusual Occurrence Tracking Log documents falls for R10 on 8/6/13, 8/17/13, 8/18/2013, 1/16/14, 2/10/14. R10's Incident Investigation for the fall on 2/22/14 documents the fall resulted in a fracture of the left femoral neck. On 3/20/14 at 9:30 AM, E9 and E12, both Certified Nurse Aides (CNA's), transferred R10 from his wheelchair to his bed. They explained the procedure, applied the gait belt and asked for R10 to stand for the transfer. R10's legs were bent during transfer, he did not support his weight or follow directions to stand. The Incident Investigations for R10, dated 1/16/14, 2/10/14, and 2/22/14, all document unwitnessed falls in his room with statements from R10 that he fell while trying to self transfer. The Report for the fall on 2/22/14 at 2:30 PM also documents, R10 was observed on the floor next the the bed. The 2/22/14 radiology report confirms R10 sustained a fracture of the left femoral neck. He was sent to the hospital for treatment. At 3/20/14 at 12:30 PM, an interview was conducted with E14 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator. E14 explained she assesses each resident for fall risk upon admission to the Facility, quarterly and on significant change. R10's Fall Assessment did not have a score or value to explain his risk level. E14 explained she just uses her opinion about the "risk level" for falls based on each individual's [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. R10's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], and Significant Change MDS, dated [DATE], document R10 is severely cognitively impaired. Both MDS's document R10 requires extensive assist with transferring, bathing, toileting, hygiene and his balance is such that he cannot stabilize himself without staff support and he does not ambulate. R10's Quarterly Care Plan for 11/11/13, Significant Change Care Plan for 1/9/14 and Re-entry/Significant Change Care Plan for 2/26/14 have no documentation of new safety interventions after each fall. Interventions included: 8/6/13 alarm added to R10's bed; 8/17/13 added to R10's wheelchair; 8/18/13 R10 placed on the "Orange Fall Program".

The Facility's undated Think Orange Policy documents (in part), "All residents with orange name tags are a fall risk. They (the residents) cannot be left alone while in their rooms. They will be encouraged to attend activities of choice or will be closely monitored in the common areas." 2. The Incident Investigations for R1, dated 9/13/13, 11/16/13, and 11/23/13, all document unwitnessed falls in his room with statements from R1 that he fell while trying to put himself to bed. R1's fall on 11/23/13 resulted in R1 being hospitalized with a right hip fracture. R1's 11/5/13 MDS, documents (in part): R1 requires extensive assistance of 2 persons to transfer and to ambulate. R1's Falls Care Plan, last revised on 11/23/13, documents (in part): "(R1) is high risk for falls due to his Dx (diagnosis) of Dementia and his past history of frequent falls. (R1) is not safe to transfer on his own but make frequent attempts to do so. Interventions: 5/7/10 Initiate orange card program for fall prevention." In an interview on 3/25/14 at 2:00 PM, E2, Director of Nurses (DON), stated, "He (R1) is on the Orange Card Program which is they aren't supposed to be left in their rooms alone. He (R1) is one who finishes his meal quickly. Then (R1) wants to go smoke, but he must be supervised for smoking. If he (R1) can't smoke, then he is ready to go to bed. He (R1) can propel himself in the wheelchair and takes himself to his room. For those falls in November (2013), he (R1) shouldn't have been in his room unsupervised and he tried to put himself to bed." 3.
