On 4/25/25 at 12:25 p.m., consulting pharmacist (PharmD) stated every psychotropic medication needed identified target behaviors. Staff were expected to monitor the identified target behaviors. The monitoring needed to be documented so the provider can identify if behaviors had increased. On 4/25/25 at 1:53 p.m., director of nursing (DON) stated staff were expected to document for target behaviors every shift. The DON stated she was aware there were holes in the monitoring, and verified the target behavior monitoring documentation was not maintained appropriately for R7, R28, R30, R46 and R1. DON stated target behavior monitoring was necessary, so providers know if a psychotropic medication had been effective/ineffective and if target behaviors had increased/decreased. DON stated the target behavior monitoring was important so providers can determine if a psychotropic medication was appropriate. The facility's Psychotropic Target Behavior Monitoring Policy, last reviewed 6/23, indicated target behavior monitoring would be initiated with the use of antipsychotic/neuroleptic medications to meet state/federal/pharmacy behavior monitoring guidelines/recommendations.

Based on interview, and document review the facility failed to ensure advanced directives for emergency treatment were accurately reflected in all areas of the medical record to ensure the residents wishes would be implemented correctly in an emergent situation for 1 of 1 (R45) residents reviewed for inconsistent advanced directives. Findings include: R45's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], indicated R45 was admitted on [DATE], was cognitively intact, and had the following diagnoses: Hyperlipidemia (high fat levels in the blood), and Schizophrenia. R45's untitled code status form dated [DATE], indicated R45's resuscitation wishes were Do Not Resuscitate. The Document was signed by R45, their family member, and the physician. R45's physician orders reviewed and saved on [DATE] at 6:01 p.m., indicated R45 was FULL CODE. On [DATE] at 6:02 p.m., trained medical assistant (TMA)-B stated they would refer to the resident's hard chart when the needed to know their code status. TMA-B went to charting room and visually pointed out R45's code status was DNR on their hard chart, which would have been correct. On [DATE] at 6:05 p.m., registered nurse (RN)-A stated when needed to confirm a resident's code status they would use the hard chart or the face sheet. RN-A confirmed R45 was a DNR. RN-A stated the provider would typically go over the code status with a resident and then it would be entered into the charting system. On [DATE] at 6:09 p.m., the director of nursing (DON) stated their expectation for checking code statuses was employees will check the resident's hard chart in the report room, where the code statuses are on the side of the book, in their medical administration record (MAR), or on the matrix banner. Typically, social services will go over code statuses with residents, and then a record keeper will enter the order once it is signed. DON stated RN's will typically review the code status order prior to it being entered into the electronic medical record (EMR) but stated it was not always happening. The DON reviewed R45's chart and EMR and stated R45 was a DNR, the DON then reviewed the physician orders and confirmed R45's was listed as a FULL CODE and not a DNR as per R45's wishes. The DON confirmed all areas in the chart should match to fulfill the resident wishes. The facility's Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) policy last reviewed ,d+[DATE], indicated they provided basic life support, including CPR-Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, when a resident required such emergency care, subject to physician order and resident choice indicated in the resident's advance directives.

Based on interview and document review, the facility failed to notify the attending physician of a change in condition for 1 of 1 residents (R46) reviewed for new onset of tardive dyskinesia symptoms (repetitive, involuntary movements) often caused by antipsychotic medications. Findings include: R46's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], indicated R46 admitted to the facility on [DATE], had severe cognitive impairment, and diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease, delusional disorders, and anxiety disorder.

R46's follow-up AIMS assessment, dated 3/27/25, indicated a score of 4 with an increase in symptoms, and to continue current plan of care. However, the assessment did not indicate the physician had been notified of the increase in tardive dyskinesia symptoms. R46's clinical record lacked evidence the physician was notified of R46's change in condition. On 4/25/25 at 12:25 p.m., consulting pharmacist (PharmD) stated the purpose of an AIMS assessment was to monitor for tardive dyskinesia symptoms related to antipsychotics, and score changes should be communicated to the provider. PharmD stated it was important to notify the provider so the risks versus benefits could be reviewed, and the provider would need to have rationale documented for continuing the antipsychotic medication. On 4/25/25 at 1:53 p.m., director of nursing (DON) stated the purpose of an AIMS assessment was to monitor for adverse side effects from antipsychotic medications, and nurses were expected to notify the provider. DON stated it was important to notify the prescribing physician for the safety of the resident. DON verified R46's clinical record lacked evidence the nurse had not notified the physician that R46's AIMS score increased from 0 to 4. DON stated nurses were expected to document in the clinical record to support the physician had been notified. A policy was requested, but not provided by the facility.

Based on interview, and document review, the facility failed to ensure a level ll preadmission screening and resident review (PASARR) was completed for 1 of 2 residents (R5) reviewed for PASARR's.

R5's Level 1 PASARR dated 4/30/24, indicated the screening was completed on 4/30/24 and prior to admission, R5 required a level ll PASARR screening to be completed. No level ll PASARR was found or provided. On 4/23/25 at 8:39 a.m., the social services director (SS)-A stated R5 had come from another facility, and they had used the other facilities completed PASARR for R5's admission. However, they were unaware a Level ll PASARR was required until the survey team arrived onsite. SS-A confirmed they were typically responsible for completing the PASARR, and stated they had missed it and confirmed it was never completed. On 4/24/25 at 1:23 p.m., the administrator stated they expected the PASARR screenings to be completed by social services, themselves, or another delegated staff upon admission to the facility, and was important to complete to ensure each resident receives the cares and services they need. A policy related to PASARR was requested and none were provided.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a comprehensive care plan was developed and maintained to ensure proper interventions were in place to prevent falls/lessen the likelihood of injury for 1 of 2 residents (R8) reviewed for falls. Findings include: R8's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], indicated severe cognitive impairment without hallucinations or delusions present, and no behaviors. Section J: Health indications indicated R8 had two or more falls without injury and two or more falls with minor injury since admission. Section O: Special Treatments and Programs indicated R8 was not currently receiving physical or occupational therapies. R8's Face sheet printed 4/25/25, indicated R8 admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Furthermore, it also identified the following relevant diagnoses: osteoarthritis (degeneration of joints that causes pain and stiffness), weakness, and mixed incontinence. R8's care plan reviewed on 4/22/25, indicated R8 received assistance with mobility and was at risk for falls due to physical limitations, incontinence, and poor safety awareness. R8's progress notes indicated 23 documented falls between 10/8/24 and 4/16/25. During observation on 4/21/25 at 03:30 p.m., R8 was in room, seated in wheelchair with feet propped on bed, crossed at ankle. Door was open approximately 3-4 inches and had to be pushed open to fully view resident. Call light was on bed between pillow and wall, out of resident's reach. During observation on 4/21/25 at 5:52 p.m., R8's door was open approximately 3-4 inches. Left back wheelchair wheel was observed, however, could not visualize resident fully. During observation on 4/22/25 at 12:34 p.m. room door was opened and R8 was fully visible. Wheelchair brakes were unlocked, and resident was observed to be leaning forward sitting on edge of seat reaching for objects in room chair. Call light was on the bed pillow outside of resident's. Staff alerted. During interview on 4/24/25 at 3:37 p.m., certified nursing assistant (CNA)-C stated she was familiar with R8 and knew she was a high fall risk. CNA-C went on to say she knew R8 had fall interventions, however, was unaware of what they were or where to find them. During interview 4/24/25 at 3:42 p.m., CNA-D stated she frequently worked with R8 and was familiar with her needs. CNA-D stated she could recognize a high fall risk resident by whether or not they wore grippy socks. CNA-D went on to state she was aware R8 had multiple falls but was unable to identify any fall interventions or need for grippy socks. During interview on 4/24/25 at 4:57 p.m., Director of Nursing (DON) stated all high fall risk residents would have a care plan focus area for falls which would include staff interventions. DON stated all falls were reviewed and a root cause analyses was completed. Further DON stated falls were reviewed by the interdisciplinary team (IDT) with fall interventions updated as needed. DON stated she was aware R8 had more than 10 falls since admission but was unsure exactly how many. She went on to state for residents with a high risk for falls she would expect to see care plan fall interventions to include the bed in the lowest position, a ridged mattress, keep resident in line of vision of staff or common area, grippy socks and a toileting plan. DON confirmed R8's care plan had not been updated after each fall and had limited interventions listed. DON stated it was important to keep care plans updated to ensure resident safety and prevent major injuries. Facility policy titled Nursing Department Care Plan Documentation/Quarterly indicated all care plans would be updated quarterly and as needed and the updates will reflect close evaluation care plan problems, goals and approaches.

Based on interview, and document review, the facility failed to ensure non-pharmacological interventions were attempted prior to the administration of psychotropic medications (mood altering medications) for 1 of 1 residents (R7) reviewed for as needed (PRN) psychotropic medications.

DON stated staff were expected to attempt and document non-pharmacological interventions prior to administration of PRN psychotropics. A policy was requested, but not provided by the facility

Based on interview and document review, the facility failed to ensure consulting pharmacist (PharmD) identified the facility's lack of target behavior monitoring in the monthly medication regimen review (MRR) for 1 of 5 residents (R46) reviewed for unnecessary psychotropic medications. Findings include: R46's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], indicated R46 admitted to the facility on [DATE], had severe cognitive impairment, and diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease, delusional disorders, and anxiety disorder. R46's order summary, printed 4/25/25, indicated R46 had the following psychotropic medication orders: - paroxetine (antidepressant) 40 mg daily for panic disorder - quetiapine 50 mg BID for delusional disorders R46's November 2024 Target Behavior Monitoring log identified target behaviors anxiety, agitation, feeling down, depressed, and hopeless, and the log indicated target behaviors were monitored 8 of 45 shifts. Additionally, R46's clinical record lacked evidence of documented target behavior monitoring from 12/1/24 through 4/22/25. R46's progress note, dated 04/07/25 at 6:11 a.m., indicated medications were reviewed by PharmD, and no problems identified. However, the MRR failed to identify the facility's lack of target behavior monitoring for R46's psychotropic medication use. R46's progress note, dated 03/09/25 at 10:23 a.m., indicated medications were reviewed by PharmD, and a gradual dose reduction (GDR) was recommended as follows: 1. Please evaluate and document ongoing need for paroxetine for anxiety and quetiapine for delusions. Document target behaviors and symptoms being controlled. Consider attempting dose reduction if appropriate. However, the MRR failed to identify the facility's lack of target behavior monitoring for R46's psychotropic medication use. R46's progress note, dated 02/02/25 at 09:10 a.m., indicated medications were reviewed by PharmD, and no problems identified. However, the MRR failed to identify the facility's lack of target behavior monitoring for R46's psychotropic medication use. R46's progress note, dated 1/6/25 at 9:47 a.m., indicated medications were reviewed by PharmD, and the following recommendations were made: 1. Recommend monitoring orthostatic blood pressure monthly while on Seroquel. If unable to obtain orthostatic blood pressure, please document reason. Recommend entering order into matrix for monthly orthostatic blood pressures. 2. Patient is noted to have multiple falls recently. Paxil and Seroquel may contribute. Seroquel dose has been increased twice in the last month. Determine if medications are contributing to falls and if benefits outweigh risks of medications. 3. Recent lipid panel showed elevated triglycerides, LDL, and total cholesterol. Consider adding lipid lowering medication such as atorvastatin. However, the MRR failed to identify the facility's lack of target behavior monitoring for R46's psychotropic medication use. R46's progress note, dated 1/6/25 at 9:47 a.m., indicated medications were reviewed by PharmD, and to review report for recommendations. However, the MRR failed to identify the facility's lack of target behavior monitoring for R46's psychotropic medication use. On 4/25/25 at 12:25 p.m., consulting pharmacist (PharmD) stated every psychotropic medication needed identified target behaviors. Staff are expected to monitor the identified target behaviors, and the monitoring should be documented so the provider can identify if behaviors have increased. On 4/25/25 at 1:53 p.m., director of nursing (DON) verified R46's clinical record lacked evidence of target behavior monitoring from 12/1/24 through 4/22/25. DON stated nurses were expected to initiate target behavior monitoring when the provider ordered a psychotropic medication. DON stated target behavior monitoring was necessary, so providers know if a psychotropic medication has been effective/ineffective and if target behaviors have increased/decreased. DON stated the target behavior monitoring is important so providers can determine if a psychotropic medication is appropriate. The facility's Pharmacy Consultant Expectations Policy, revised 2/24, indicated to meet the needs of each resident accurately and safely, by collaborating with the licensed pharmacist, serving as consultant, to guide the facility with a system consistent with clinical best practice, quality resident care, and regulatory compliance for pharmacy services in the facility.

Based on document review, and interview the facility failed to ensure Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) meetings were held on a quarterly basis. This practice had the potential to affect all 53 residents residing in the facility. Findings include: Review of the QAPI meeting minutes agendas identified QAPI meetings were held on 4/16/24, 8/27/24, and 1/7/25 outside of the required time frame of every 3 months or quarterly. On 4/25/25 at 2:06 p.m., the director of nursing confirmed they were the lead for the QAPI meetings, and the facility had not been meeting quarterly and stated they should have completed one more meeting to have been in compliance. The facility's Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement Plan effective date 1/2025, indicated the QAPI committee was responsible for meeting, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis; more frequently, if necessary.

Based on observation, and interview the facility failed to conduct appropriate hand hygiene during medication administration for 1 of 3 staff members observed during medication administration. This had the potential to affect at 53 residents in residence at the facility. Findings include: On 4/22/25 at 11:47 a.m., trained medication aide (TMA)-A was observed giving medications to a resident in the main sitting area of the facility. TMA-A then returned to the medication room, where writer was waiting to observe the medication administration. TMA-A agreed to be observed, TMA-A then began preparing medications for a second resident, however, did not perform hand hygiene prior to starting the second medication administration. TMA-A proceeded to administer medications to the second resident, and then returned to the medication cart. TMA-A then began a third resident's medications, and did not perform proper hand hygiene, in between residents. TMA-A then administered the medications to the third resident, came back to the cart, stated they were finished. TMA-A failed to complete hand hygiene after completing all medication administrations. On 4/22/25 at approximately 12:00 p.m., TMA-A requested assistance with another staff member, licensed practical nurse (LPN)-B, who was present in the room during the observation. TMA-A then stated they should have preformed hand hygiene before and after each resident and in between residents when passing medications. TMA-A confirmed they did not perform hand hygiene appropriately and stated hand hygiene was important to prevent spread of infection. On 4/22/25 at approximately 12:20 p.m., the director of nursing (DON) stated they expected staff members conducting medication administration to perform hand hygiene before and after all medication administrations, and in between residents.

Based on interview and document review, the facility failed to ensure prescribed antibiotics met criteria for antibiotic use. Further, the facility failed to assess for continued need of the antibiotics to help reduce unnecessary antibiotic use and reduce potential drug resistance were completed for 1 of 1 residents (R31) reviewed for antibiotic use. This had the potential to affect any of the 53 residents who resided in the facility who might use antibiotics. Findings include: R31's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], indicated R31 was cognitively intact, had an indwelling urinary catheter, and diagnoses included Parkinson's disease, dementia, and obstructive uropathy (urine flow is obstructed). R31's order history report, dated 4/25/25, indicated an antibiotic was ordered by the provider for cefpodoxime 200mg twice a day (BID) for a diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI), with a start date of 3/29/25 and end date of 4/2/25. R31's progress note, dated 3/26/25 at 3:32 p.m., indicated the licensed practical nurse (LPN)-A notified the provider that R31 completed an order for Macrobid (antibiotic) for a positive UTI, with no improvement in dark, cloudy, odorous urine and increased sleeping. The provider ordered a urinalysis (UA). R31's UA results report, verified 3/28/25, indicated the urine specimen contained many bacteria, 500 (large) leukocytes, >180 (H) red blood cells, and negative nitrite. On 3/28/25, at the bottom of the UA report, the provider wrote an antibiotic order for cefpodoxime 200 mg by mouth (PO) every (q) 12 hours two times a day (BID). Additionally, the order directed the facility to update the culture and sensitivity ASAP as it may warrant a change in antibiotic. However, the report did not identify it had been reviewed by a nurse. R31's physician order, dated 3/28/25 at 4:46 p.m., indicated Start Vantin (cefpodoxime) 200 mg PO q12hrs for 5 days, and I highly recommend they fax and call with culture and sensitivity results. The order was acknowledged in writing by registered nurse (RN)-C. R31's urine culture (UC) results report, verified 3/29/25, indicated Growth (A) [abnormal] >100,000 CFU/mL mixed bacterial growth and Mixed bacterial growth indicates the specimen is likely contaminated at collection with urogenital and/or fecal flora. On 4/1/25, the provider wrote update with sensitivities, at the bottom of the UC report. However, the report did not identify it had been reviewed by a nurse. R31's clinical record lacked evidence the provider had been notified a sensitivities report had not been received. Additionally, R31's clinical record lacked evidence reviewed based on antibiotic stewardship guidelines and criteria. On 4/25/25 at 11:02 a.m., director of nursing (DON) stated she was the facility infection preventionist (IP) and it was her role to oversee the resident infections and antibiotic use. DON stated the facility used McGeer criteria to help identify infections, and Loeb criteria was used to determine when antibiotics were indicated. DON stated R31 had completed taking an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection (UTI) on 3/25/25, but staff reported that R31 was still symptomatic, the provider was notified, and a UA/UC was ordered. DON verified the UC report indicated the sample was likely contaminated and the test had not been repeated. DON confirmed a 72-hour time-out had not been completed. DON stated a 72-hour time-out should have been completed for R31 to identify the provider had not been alerted when UC susceptibilities were not provided. DON stated the antibiotic stewardship guidelines should have been followed to ensure criteria was met and the resident was prescribed the correct antibiotic. DON stated it was important to follow the antibiotic stewardship guidelines to avoid antibiotic resistance. The facility's Antimicrobial Stewardship Policy, revised 2/24, indicated the key objectives include reducing inappropriate antimicrobial use, improving patient care outcomes and mitigating adverse consequences. Additionally, the duration of antimicrobial therapy will be defined and/or regularly reviewed based on evidence-based guidelines (ie. 72-hour antibiotic time out).

The CAA also identified resident had poor balance with frequent falls, requires weight bearing support with ambulation. R48's care plan updated [DATE], identified a problem with mobility, risk of falls related to cognitive deficits, impulsiveness and poor safety awareness. Staff were directed to assist with ambulation with walker, high low bed, sensory pad on floor when in bed, call light accessible, and transfers with assistance of one as resident allows, and to refer to toileting care plan. The facility Closet Care Plan dated [DATE], noted under toileting to assist upon request, transfers with assist of one staff, independent with bed mobility, and use of walker and wheelchair for assistive devices.

The fall was unwitnessed, with an abrasion, bruise, and bump noted to top left side of his head. The contributing factors and interventions sections was left blank, even though R48 was in the bathroom. The [DATE] 6:30 p.m. facility progress note identified R48 was found on the floor in his room. He was yelling for help after supper, and was on the floor by his bed, unable to move his left leg without pain. He was sent to the hospital for evaluation. The hospital called the facility and identified R48 had a broken left hip and was admitted to the hospital. Progress note on [DATE], identify the family called the nursing home, and informed that R48 had died at the hospital. Review of the Facility's Therapy Screening Form dated [DATE], indicated R48 had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The report identified R48 had impaired cognition, mobility, and activities of daily living. He forgets to lock wheelchair brakes, confusion with HF (history of falls) physical therapy (PT) recommended, PT for HF, occupational therapy was recommended secondary to confusion and for wheel chair management. There was no indication that R48 ever received any physical or occupational therapy services for his history of falls, as identified by the [DATE], assessment. During interview on [DATE], at 11:24 a.m. director of nursing (DON) stated falls assessments were not completed on any residents in the facility, as all residents are considered to be at risk for falls. When interviewed on [DATE], at 9:01 a.m. licensed practical nurse (LPN)-A stated R48's had an unsteady gait and had frequently falls. They looked at the medication Levsin (anticholinergic/antispasmodic medication which may cause blurred vision, urinary hesitancy, and dizziness) since the resident was to be more restless/busy when on this medication which they discontinued on [DATE]. They tried to watch him (R48), offer the bathroom or assist to bed, and offer snacks/activities when possible to help prevent his falls. When interviewed on [DATE], at 1:30 p.m. nursing assistant (NA)-A stated R48 was a huge fall risk, and they checked on him all the time. She indicated he had a history of [REDACTED]. They offered R48 the bathroom every two hours. During an interview on [DATE], at 1:34 p.m. NA-B stated R48 had a lot of falls. He would go to his room a lot, and staff would offer to help him lay down or use the toilet. They offered toileting when rising in the morning, before and after meals. When interviewed on [DATE], at 1:50 p.m. DON stated R48 was not on a toileting plan. Staff would assist with toileting if allowed, and offered encouragement when rising in the morning, after lunch, before supper, at bedtime, when awake at night, and upon request. She was unable to determine if the resident was seen by therapy, but they tried to keep him safe in his wheelchair and allow him to self-propel. R48 falls were reviewed with the DON from [DATE] through [DATE]. The DON stated each fall R48 was attempting to self transfer, and there were no additional interventions implemented after these falls. Each fall was reviewed with the nurse on duty, at the time of the fall, but they did not complete a comprehensive assessment to determine interventions to help reduce R48's risk of falls. Although R48 had 14 falls from [DATE] to [DATE], 13 of these falls occurred in his bedroom, 5 of these falls occurred when R48 had been incontinent, was in the bathroom or was attempting to use the bathroom. The facility had not comprehensibility assessed these falls to determine if R48 toileting plan was appropriate for him even though he had 5 falls in the bathroom. The facility had not comprehensively assessed and developed individualized interventions to help reduce the risk of falls while R48 was in his room, even though R48 had 13 of the 14 falls occurred in his room. As a result of this R48 fractured his hip, and died which resulted in actual harm. Facility policy for falls was requested but not provided.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide Range of Motion Exercises (ROM ) to prevent a further decrease in ROM for 1 of 1 residents (R44) who had a decline in ROM which resulted in actual harm. Findings include: Resident R44 had a decline in upper extremity and lower extremity ROM. The decline in ROM, caused a change in functional mobility (dressing), which resulted in actual harm. R44 was admitted ,[DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The quarterly MDS 9/12/10 identified a loss of ROM with voluntary movement and a partial loss on her right arm. The 11/30/10 quarterly MDS indicated R44 had impairments on bilateral upper and lower extremities and needed extensive assistance of one with dressing. The annual MDS, 2/11/11 indicated R44 had impairments with limitations in ROM of her bilateral upper and lower extremities and was totally dependent on staff for dressing, bathing, grooming and was unable to ambulate. R44's care plan updated on 2/17/11 indicated she needed assistance with dressing, grooming and bathing related to advancing dementia. The careplan identified a problem with mobility and staff were directed to do "best age to maintain ROM of upper body" with nursing and restorative aide. There was no frequency identified for the "best age" excercise program. The facilities Exercise Prescription form for November 2010, identified R44 was to receive Active Assistive Range Of Motion (AAROM) (arm bike). There was no indication of how frequently this exercise was to be completed. R44 participated in the AAROM exercises only 4 times, for 5 minutes each time in November 2010. There were no AAROM exercises completed from December 2010 through March 17, 2011. During observation of personal cares for R44 on 3/16/11 at 8:40 a.m., Nursing Assistant (NA)-B washed R44's face with a wash cloth and then held onto R44's hand while attempting to lift her arm to wash underneath. R44's hands and upper arms were tight against her body, making it difficult to lift her arms bilaterally when washing and dressing her. NA-B attempted to remove R44's gown by holding her hand as resident was being dressed, but R44 kept her arms tight against her body. NA-C then entered and assisted NA-B with removing the gown and dressing R44. NA-B stated on 3/16/11 at 9:00 a.m. that R44 was very stiff and it has become more difficult to place ted stocking on. She also stated it is very difficult to lift her right arm and remove gown because R44 is extremely stiff and clenches her arms against her body and stated they have to pull her hands up in order to lift her arms, so they can wash her. On 3/16/2011 NA-B also stated at 11:03 a.m. in the past 6 months it has become more difficult to turn R44 in bed and get her dressed. NA-B also stated the resident used to walk, then went to an easy stand lift and was now they use a mechanical lift. When interviewed on 3/16/11 at 11:04 a.m., LPN-A stated dressing R44 was getting harder for the nursing assistants. On 3/16/11 at 12:26 p.m., R44 was observed in the dining room and NA-C was assisting her with the meal. R44 had her arms firmly against her body on both sides with her forearms bent at the elbow holding a cup of juice. R44 was stiff from her shoulder to her elbows and did not move. On 3/16/11 at 12:38 p.m., TMA-A stated R44 was becoming more rigid and it worked better now if two nursing assistant assist her with dressing. TMA-A also stated two years ago R44 ambulated and she is now in a wheelchair using a hoyer mechanical lift. When interviewed on 3/16/11 at 12:42 p.m., NA-A stated R44 has become more difficult to dress in the past 6 months and now has to be dressed with two nursing assistants because she is so stiff. On 3/16/11 at 12:58 p.m., LPN-B who is also the MDS nurse verified that R44 had a decline in ROM and that on 12/01/10 she had given a memo to therapies requesting that R44 be re-evaluated for ROM exercises and wheelchair positioning. LPN-B stated R44 had been discontinued from the AAROM exercises on 11/26/10, because she was unable to tolerate the program and was not started on a new exercise program. On 3/16/11 at approximately 10:00 a.m. rehab aide-A provided a list of residents who were currently being seen by nursing rehab for an exercise program, R44 was not listed. When interviewed on 3/16/11 at 1:07 p.m., the Occupational Therapist (OT) program coordinator stated she had not completed an evaluation on R44 in December 2010. She was not aware that R44 had a decline in her ROM and now needed assistance of two with dressing. "I will reassess her for ROM, to ease her ADL's for comfort." OT also verified R44 was not on any range of motion or exercise program at this time. On 3/16/11 at 1:21 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated if the MDS nurse noticed a decline she would expect them to notify the therapist of the decline. Therapy would see the resident and place them on a program. "This should not have happened to (resident name) and I was not aware of the decline but I don't work directly with her." The OT evaluation completed during the survey dated 3/17/11 indicated "presents with increased muscle tome throughout most of her body. During attempts to perform PROM and/or dressing/bathing tasks, client becomes resistive to movement of all extremities. This appears to be primarily due to advanced dementia in combination with prolonged inactivity. The increased resistance in both upper extremities has impacted the ability to participate in ADL's and is requiring increased assistance from staff." The plan indicates: to re-establish ROM program with restorative aide to prevent further loss of ROM and joint mobility and to ease with cares, educate staff on how to effectively move extremities during cares and to assess ADL regimen to assist with recommendations for technique and adaptive clothing options. On 3/21/11 the facility provided additional information via fax, of an evaluation completed by OT on 1/18/11 for wheelchair positioning. The 1/18/11 evaluation identified R44 had 90 degree shoulder abduction and when compared to the evaluation completed on 3/17/11 R44 shoulder abduction was now at 45 degrees, which indicated a decline in shoulder abduction. The OT recommended at that time "to continue to make attempts at range of motion per previously established program," this was not implemented.
