When I did return to the third floor, because I am the PRSC assigned to the third floor, it seemed that things had calmed down. The nurse on the third floor informed me that R394 was yelling, screaming, and cursing at the staff. When I was able to verbally speak with R394, R394 was hard to redirect, and I could not make out what R394 was saying to me. I am trained to use CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention) and usually we do not get to the point where we are physically touching a resident. The staff should talk with the resident to deescalate the situation first. R394 did talk with the police regarding the incident and a police report was made.

I witnessed R394 displaying verbal outbursts near the nurse's station. I did not witness staff to resident physical assault. R394 did report an allegation of physical assault to me, and an investigation was started. While doing the investigation I found out V44 (former Social Services Director) tried to use CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention) to deescalate the verbally aggression with R394. V44 did get physical with R394 I prefer staff to verbally deescalate the situation, instead of being physically aggressive. The situation between V44 and R394 could have been handled better by V44. The police were called regarding this incident and a police report was made out. On 10/03/2024 at 4:53am V1 (Administrator) stated the incident with R394 was on 9/19/2024 around 2pm. V1 stated, I was in the facility and went up to the third floor. I did not witness R394 being physically abused. R394 was stating V44(former social service director) hit me and hit R394's head against the wall. The third-floor staff told me V44 was trying to use CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention) to deescalate V394's behaviors by holding R394's arms down by his side and this eventually led to both R394 and V44 falling to the floor. CPI skills do not require for staff to put a resident on the floor. The staff should try to verbally deescalate the situation first. Sometimes the de-escalation process can get physical, but this should be the last resort. That is why I had a problem with the way V44 did CPI. V44 should have not placed hands on R394. R394 went to the hospital for evaluation.

Based on observation, records review and interviews the facility failed to provide a safe and home like environment by not maintaining comfortable and safe temperature levels in the entire premises of the facility. This failure affected all 258 residents residing in the facility, who were all subjected to hazardous temperatures and one resident (R8) who was sent to the hospital and admitted due to hypothermia. This was identified as an Immediate Jeopardy which began on 1/16/24 at 10:30 am per (1/16/24) facility temperature log which documents a residents' rooms temperature range of 53F (Fahrenheit) to 63F. On 1/19/24 at 09:16 am V1 (Administrator) was notified of the immediate jeopardy. The facility presented a final removal plan on 1/22/24 at 4:49 am which was not approved. The facility presented a revised final removal plan on 1/23/24 at 04:59 pm which was not approved. The facility presented another revised final removal plan on 1/24/21 at 1:36 pm which was accepted/approved on 1/25/24 at 5:08 pm. The surveyor conducted additional interviews and record reviews on 1/26/24 to 1/31/24 verify the plan was implemented. The immediate jeopardy was removed on (1/24/24) based on actions from the removal plan. Findings include: On 01/16/24 at 04:00 pm surveyor arrived at the facility and noticed that there were 2 charter buses in front of the facility and in the entrance hall there were more than 15 people distributed between the reception, entrance and corridor leading onto the elevators. Everyone was wearing winter coats and jackets; some were wearing winter hats and gloves and scarfs. The temperature inside was very cold. There was a line of people coming from the elevator. After speaking with V1 (Administrator), surveyor learned that those people were residents being transferred to other facilities and staff were there to help with the transfer process. On 1/16/24 at 04:15 pm surveyor observed residents had been in process of being discharged to two other facilities due to inadequate heating.

The facility called a company to check the boiler and it was noticed the boiler temperature was at 130 instead of 160. V1 said the boiler malfunctioning was fixed, and the heating was restored for a while but then one of the radiator pipes burst. A plumbing company was called. The plumbing company arrived around 11am on 1/15/24, repaired the plumbing, but while they were working, other pipes burst and continued to burst because they were frozen due to the intense cold weather. V1 said, The plumbing company told me the problem would continue to occur even though they were trying to contain it. That's why I decided to evacuate all residents to other facilities. V1 said two facilities confirmed to receive residents. V1 said the census is 258 and all residents will be transferred and at this point to 2 facilities have that accepted their residents. V1 stated these two facilities will provide 150 beds to accommodate the residents. On 1/16/24 at 04:20 pm V1 said offices are located on the 1st floor; 2nd, 3rd, 4th floor is mix of skilled and non-skilled residents, but mostly skilled residents, need more assistance; 5th floor they are little more independent; 6th and 7th floor residents are independent, ambulatory and need less assistance. Copy of the census received and shows total of 258 residents. On 1/16/24 at 04:30 pm V3 (Assistant Administrator) said, The pipe burst happened initially on the second floor on (1/15/24) which caused flooding to both 2nd floor, and 1st floor. We have over 100 portable heaters that were brought in to help and they had been placed on residents' rooms to keep it warm until the heating system be repaired. The facility has also bought forced heaters and they have been placed on the floors. During facility tour surveyor noted some room did not have a portable heater in place, some other rooms had a portable heater placed in the floor unplugged. On 1/16/24 at 04:35 pm V2 (Regional Director of Operations) stated, We are implementing phase one of our emergency plan, which is to evacuate the most mobile/ independently residents first and then evacuate the ones who need more assistance, the ones on wheelchair, or not able to be transferred by bus and requires a wheelchair van for transportation.

The room has 4 beds. A portable heater has been placed next to the R4's bed, but is not plugged in. Another portable heater found next to second bed D is plugged in. Surveyor asked V6 why the room is dark and cold and why the heater next to R4's bed is unplugged. V6 tried to plug the heater in, but the outlet was too far from the bed. V6 checked the headboard's light for all 4 beds and none of them worked. V6 said she heard that if the portable heater is plugged in, the lights above the headboard won't work properly. V3 (AADM) tried to plug in the portable heater placed close to R4's bed but was not able to. V3 stated, These are the things we have not planned. V6 unplugged the portable heater that was placed close to another bed and the lights came on. V6 said she will transfer R4 to the wheelchair but does not provide a blanket to resident.

On 1/16/24 at 18:05 pm, noticed a crew member bringing another equipment into the facility. According to V1, it is to be installed to provide heat, because we still have to keep the building's temperature up. On 1/17/24 at 09:30 am noted 120 residents, according with census, remained at the facility with the heating system still not functionally operating. On 1/17/24 at 10:47 am 4th floor hallway north temp 57.3 degrees. At 11:08 am one resident's room on 4th floor temp was 56.6. degrees. On 1/17/24 at 01:50 pm V5 (Regional Maintenance Director) stated, The boiler malfunctioning affected the air handle system and the radiator system. The upstairs units were working at 75% capacity and warming the 7th, 6th, 5th and 4th floor. The air handles in the basement cover basement, 1st, 2nd and 3rd floor. The big units we are getting will fix the problem and they will be heating the building in 2 to 3 hours. The standing heater covers 750 square feet and we got 20 of those. The machine pumps up 80 degrees, but that does mean the rooms are 80 degrees. Forced heaters that covers 300 square feet, those are the best ones, and we have 3 of those per hall. We should have the standing heating unit, the portable heaters and the diesel fuel commercial make up air units, all working to provide heating the building so in 1:30 and 2 hours we should have everything done. On 01/17/24 at 09:40 am V1 said the heating is working on all floors, but after inspection with V7 (Maintenance Director) surveyor noted the temperature was below 71 degrees on the 4th floor.

Room temperatures were 64.9, 59.3, 63.3 63.8, 56.3, 61.9 in resident's rooms and 64.3 in the day room [ROOM NUMBER]th floor temp. The day room has one standing heating unit and two forced heaters in place. Facility entrance area temp 46.5. On 1/17/24 at 06:05 pm V1 said they were transferring residents from the 6th floor to another facility. V1 said, the boiler is working, it's just that the temperature was not holding up because the pipes burst. V1 stated, It reduced the power to keep the heat up. On 01/17/24 at 06:56 pm temperatures were 61.4, 62.8, 66.4, 60.2 degrees respectively in 4th floor residents' rooms and 68 degrees at Nursing station.

Medical decision making patient noted to be hypothermic, hypotensive, and bradycardic. Will give antibiotic and lab work. Patient placed in warming blanket. On 1/19/24 at 09:45 am R6 was in a wheelchair, fully dressed, wearing winter clothes. R6 stated, I was on the 4th floor on Monday (1/15/24), and it was cold. Cold enough to make me uncomfortable. There was no heating coming from the radiator or from the ceiling. It was very cold! I used my own blanket. On Tuesday (1/16/24) afternoon they brought the portable heater to other rooms, but never to our room. I asked V7 (maintenance director) for a heater, but he never brought one. For four days they are talking we are going to leave to another facility, and we are still here. On Tuesday (1/16/24) they put me in the room on the 6th floor that was cold and had water on the floor. I said if I am going to be in another cold room, I would prefer to stay in my room. They took me back to the 4th floor. I did not get any medicine last night. I did not get my insulin and the Keppra. I take Keppra because I have seizures. They did not check my blood sugar this morning. The nurse said she did not have the equipment to do it. They said the nurse on duty did not know where the medication was. They said they had packed the medication because we were about to leave, and the nurse didn't know where they put it. On 1/19/24 at 09:50 am R7 stated, They transferred me to 6th floor on Wednesday (1/17/24). On 1/15 and 1/16/24 the 4th floor was cold. I was fully dressed, with coat and I had to cover my head with the blanket. That's how cold it was. Everybody was wearing coat, gloves, boots and hats. It really started on Monday afternoon. The temperature was dropping. It came back a little bit and then was cut off. They told us the furnace was broken and they will bring a new one. On Tuesday they said they will transfer us. But my question is, why the let people who can walk go and left us on a wheelchair, behind? From Monday to Wednesday, when they started bringing the heating units here, we had no heating. I was transferred to this floor (6th) on Wednesday. I did not receive my medication last night. On 1/23/24 at 10:57 am V1 stated, Right now we have our residents on 6th floor, temps are between 71 and 81 F. It was checked 30 minutes ago. We are checking every 30 minutes. No residents have been sent to hospital since Friday. The resident sent to the hospital is still at the hospital. After we are able to get the entire building complete and any water damage fixed we will bring the residents back. The equipment going to ceiling through plastic tubes is to eliminate moister. We will have a meeting to discuss the progress of the work that is being done and learned about the time frame for the completion of it. On 1/23/24 at 01:30 pm surveyor made rounds with V22 (Maintenance). Random temperatures were taken on the 6th floor where 46 residents remained were 81.7 F, 83.1F, 84.4F, 85.3F, 84.9F, and 84.6F. The South hallway was 85.1F; Room in front of the nursing station (day room) north wall was 87.3 F and Nursing station was 87.3F. Residents noted to be wearing light clothes and were complaining the temperatures were now too hot. Staff no longer wearing winter clothes. Nurses and CNAs noted to be wearing scrubs only. On 01/23/24 at 3:29 pm V5 (Regional Maintenance Director) stated, The purpose of the generator that was brought into the facility (placed outside the facility) was to supply hot water that will flow to the radiator pipes and fans to create heat. The radiator's heat goes to the air coils which will push hot air through ductwork throughout the building while the pipes and coils are being repaired. V5 said the boiler was repaired, but the pipes froze, and the dampers and controls were damaged due to the cold. V5 stated the coils weren't working yet, so the 4th floor was cold. It should be done by tomorrow afternoon. The patching of the air handles should be done by Friday. Hopefully, and in the worst case, Monday. I turned off the heating as it was getting very hot on the upper floors as there is now some heat coming from the radiators as well. On 1/30/24 at 01:34 pm V15 (Attending physician) stated, I don't think this is predictable. It depends on whether the person is exposed to lower temperatures. Was the resident outside the facility? Yes, lower temperature can cause bradycardia. A body temperature of 91.8F is considered hypothermia and the resident has go to the hospital. The nursing home may provide a blanket and provide hot liquids, but this needs to be closely monitored. If the resident develops septic condition and requires treatment with antibiotics.

Based on interview and record review the facility; (A) Failed to recognize, evaluate, and address weight loss; and (B) failed to consistently implement interventions, monitor the effectiveness of interventions and revise them as necessary. This resulted in a significant weight loss [ >10% change over 6 months] for 1 [R79] of 5 [R12, R36, R70, R109] residents reviewed for nutrition in a sample of 35. Findings included: R79's clinical record indicates in part: R79 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with medical diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, vitamin D deficiency, anxiety disorder, Parkinson's Disease, essential hypertension, and human immunodeficiency virus.

On 8/29/23 at 10:29 AM observed R79 resting in bed. R79 stated, I'm not doing well. I keep shaking and keep losing weight. The doctors and nurses are not doing anything about it. I have no idea how much I weigh. On 8/29/23 at 10:46 AM, surveyor requested V50 [Licensed Practical Nurse] for R79 to be weighed with surveyor present. V50 stated, We can weigh (R79) at 1PM. On 8/29/23 at 12:50 PM, surveyor reported to nursing floor. V50 stated, R79 just left the faciity on his way to the hospital due to tremors. R79 was able to feed himself, without any assistance. R79 hands would shake, but he could feed himself. On 8/30/23 at 8:35 AM, V41 [R79's Family Member] stated, R79 has been losing weight because the facility stared him on some medication and R79 began to have tremors really bad. To the point R79 had difficulty feeding himself. The food would shake off the fork or spoon not getting into his mouth. I kept telling the nurse that R79 needs feeding assistance, but they will not listen. R79 will call me and tell me they would not help him eat. The facility has not told me that R79 loss any weight, but I can tell because his clothes is falling off. The medication that was causing the tremors was discontinued. R79 was sent to the hospital due to his tremors. On 8/30/23 at 11:17 AM, V3 [Director of Nursing] stated, The dietitian makes recommendations for weekly weights. The order is placed in vital signs and the weight is completed weekly. The reason for weekly weight is to closely monitor a resident's weight loss and to prevent a significant weight loss that can occur within 30 days. If a physician's order is not signed out on the electronic medication administration record, then the medication or supplement was not given. If a resident does not receive a prescribed nutritional supplement, the resident could potentially have more weight loss. The nurse should notify the family of the weight loss. I do not have (V42) or (V43) phone numbers. They worked here through a contracted agency. On 8/31/23 at 1:15 PM, V44 [Dietitian] stated, I been working at this facility since 8/1/23 through a consultant company. R79's last weight was 186 pounds. -10% weight loss over 180 days, compared to 2/2/23 weight of 215 pounds, total of 29-pound weight loss. I increased ensure supplement to twice a day to promote weight maintenance. R79 will be re-evaluated upon return from the hospital. R79's weigh loss is probably from the progression of Parkinson's disease, which require more calorie intake due to all the involuntary movements. I have not observed R79 eat and have not received reports that he needs assistance due to shaking. The beginning of August was my first time looking over his record, I will observe R79 eating once he return from the hospital. R79's weight loss was not desired or planned. Weekly weights are ordered to develop a baseline and to prevent an accumulative weight loss that may happen in 30 days. If weekly weights are not completed it could potentially cause the resident to have a higher weight loss, because interventions were not in place to slow weight loss. The weekly weight helps the dietitian to monitor the resident closely. If a resident continues to lose weight with dietary interventions in place; the weight loss dietary interventions should be monitored, evaluated, and adjusted as necessary to prevent further weight loss and stabilize a resident weight. On 8/7/23, I increased R79's ensure supplement to twice per day. If R79 misses the prescribed ensure, he could potentially loss more weight. I do not notify family of a residents weight loss; the facility is responsible for notification. On 8/31/22 at 2:05 PM V45 [ R79's Primary Care Physician] stated, I was told about R79's weight loss two months ago and recommended for R79 to see dietitian. I do not document every single thing in my notes. I verbally tell the nursing staff. I ordered blood work but I think R79 refused. I did not document R79 refused blood work. If R79 continues to lose weight, I will order blood work and CT scan. R79 should've been placed on a calorie count to be closely monitored. I believe R79's weight loss came from contracting Covid19 earlier this year in January. If R79 is not receiving his recommended shake supplements, R79 could potentially loss more weight the supplement would not be effective. R79 weight loss was not planned. If weekly weights were ordered for R79, the facility should have taken R79's weight as ordered so the dietitian could monitor R79 weight closely, if not it could potentially cause more weight loss. R79 is under infection disease physician. R79's HIV has not progressed. The antiviral medication has been working well. I did not notify the family of R79's weight change, the nurses should complete family notification. Policy: Documented in part: Weight Change Policy dated 1/2023; -It is the policy of this facility to monitor the nutritional status of all residents, including all significant or trending patterns of weight change. -Review weights and vital dashboard for significant weight changes. -Upon identification of a newly significant weight change, the dietician, physician, and resident representative will be notified.
