During the onsite investigation, resident interviews revealed the following: Interview on 06/17/24 at 10:05 A.M., with Resident #46 and Resident #46's son revealed staffing concerns. The resident and son reported there were not enough staff on the weekends. The resident reported she must stay in bed until noon because it takes two staff to assist her with transfers and with insufficient staff, she had to stay in bed later than she preferred. Resident #46 stated her preference was to get out of bed early. Interview on 06/17/24 at 10:46 A.M., with Resident #44 revealed staffing concerns. The resident indicated (in general) the facility needed more aides. If the aides were super busy, she stated she had to wait 45 minutes for help. Interview on 06/17/24 at 10:57 A.M., with Resident #2 revealed staffing concerns. The resident indicated there was not adequate staffing on the midnight shift.

The resident stated the facility needed extra help on all shifts. Interview on 06/17/24 at 11:15 A.M., with Resident #51 revealed concerns related to the facility staffing. The resident indicated night shift staff didn't answer call lights timely and he usually had to wait until dayshift arrived before anyone came to answer his call light. b. During the onsite investigation, interviews with staff revealed the following: Interview on 06/17/24 at 11:40 A.M. with State tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #547 revealed there was not enough staff, and it takes longer than usual to get things done. The STNA reported there were supposed to be three aides on A unit; however, they often worked with only two. A follow-up interview on 06/18/24 at 6:49 A.M., STNA #547 revealed the STNA worked both day and night shift. The STNA reported there were not enough staff on night shift to provide proper supervision. Last night there were four resident falls (two on each unit) that occurred due to a lack of adequate staff to properly supervise the residents. In addition, the STNA indicated there were two male STNAs working last night and there were some residents who don't like males to provide care, so they pull a female staff member from B hall to help, leaving the other male by himself on the other unit. The STNA stated A wing staffing was worse due to the residents requiring more assistance and there were 10-11 showers required to be done on night shift leaving only one staff on the unit. The STNA revealed the facility had a mandating system for call offs, but the facility doesn't follow the system. Interview on 06/18/24 6:55 A.M., with night shift STNA #571 revealed there were not enough staff on night shift. The aide reported A hall needed at least three STNAs (one for each hall) and two on B hall and there was usually only three to four aides on night shift for the entire building. The STNA stated A hall was rough at night. Usually someone from B hall must go over to help A hall at night at night. This STNA also voiced concerns related to an increase in the number of resident falls on the night shift the previous night. On B hall one resident rolled out of bed, and one slipped on toilet paper in the bathroom. The STNA revealed dayshift staffing was no better. The facility was offering $25 an hour to pick up open shifts but stated there weren't enough staff to pick up due to the facility being short staffed and already working 12-hour shifts. Interview on 06/18/24 at 11:39 A.M. with Housekeeper #519 revealed staffing concerns. The housekeeper revealed there were not enough staff to answer call lights timely and sometimes it takes 20-25 minutes for staff to respond to call lights. Interview on 06/20/24 at 6:13 A.M., with Registered Nurse (RN) #541 revealed management was aware of staffing concerns and just keep saying they were trying to get five aides and three nurses at night. The RN indicated increased supervision/staffing could assist in reducing those falls. Interview on 06/20/24 at 6:25 A.M., with STNA #547 and STNA #568 revealed there was not adequate staffing. The STNA staff indicated extra staff were needed on night shift to give resident showers. When one of the STNAs were in the shower it left the other aide to monitor the hall by themselves and answer call lights. Some of the residents required two assistants (for care). And only a few nurses help. The STNAs voiced concerns related to the staffing on 06/17/24 when there were four falls with some of the falls occurring when staff were doing showers and only one staff was trying to monitor A and C hall. In addition, the secured unit had residents with behaviors who needed increased supervision, so it was difficult to monitor the residents at risk of falls, residents with behaviors, and other residents with one aide available. Interview on 06/20/24 7:02 A.M. STNA #536 and STNA #537 revealed concerns related to staffing and indicating there was not enough staff. The STNAs revealed staff run all shifts then try to document in a hurry at the end of the shift. Night shift had 8-12 resident showers to do with some of the residents requiring more than 45 minutes for a shower. That left the other aide to monitor A and C hall, respond to call lights. Multiple residents want to go to bed but require two assists. They must wait on the other side to get done in the shower, so residents were not able to be assisted to bed upon request and then they get angry. The STNAs reported management had told them they had been working on getting staff for more than two years. It was rare there were more than two aides per hall on night shift and staff were told there were no shifts to pick up on nights. These STNAs revealed they also felt insufficient staffing had contributed to falls for lack of supervision. On 06/24/24 at 4:05 P.M. interview with the Administrator revealed the facility had been attempting to schedule an additional nurse on night shift from 7:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. to assist with medication and treatment administration, however the facility did not have sufficient staff to schedule that position in a consistent manner. The Administrator revealed when nurses reported off for their shift and staff were unavailable to cover, nursing management were expected to cover the shift. On 06/25/24 at 7:22 A.M. an additional interview with the Administrator revealed the facility was trying to hire additional staff by posting positions through online ads and offering sign on bonuses.

HR #500 stated STNA #547 had been working at a hospital as a STNA but did not have the hospital mantoux results. On 06/25/24 at 11:10 A.M., Registered Nurse (RN) #573 provided employee post-offer procedure which indicated the initial mantoux test was required prior to resident contact. Review of the facility's Tuberculosis Testing and Screening- Healthcare Workers policy (revised July 2016) revealed if a prospective employee had a documented negative TST result 12 months or less before new employment a single TST was to be administered for baseline testing. The most recent TB (tuberculosis) risk assessment dated [DATE] indicated there was no incident of TB in the facility or surrounding community. 4. On 06/18/24 at 7:28 A.M., Registered Nurse (RN) #534 was observed entering Resident #13's room with medications including an insulin syringe.

Based on record review, review of missing item reports, review of dental appointment visit lists, family interview, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure a resident and her resident representative's concerns of missing dentures were addressed by the facility. This affected one (Resident #47) of two reviewed for personal property. The facility census was 65. Findings include: Review of Resident #47's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease, dementia with behavioral disturbances, anxiety disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, and major depressive disorder. Review of Resident #47's ancillary consent form revealed the resident's representative consented to have her receive dental services as a resident with Medicaid, while in the facility. The consent form was signed on 10/21/21, around the time of her original admission. Review of Resident #47's consultation reports revealed she was last seen by the dentist on 03/14/23. The dentist completed a comprehensive oral evaluation and indicated she was edentulous. The dentist indicated dentures were not applicable in his visit note and did not address whether she had them or not during that evaluation. Review of Resident #47's re-admission assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was assessed upon her return following a hospitalization . She was noted to be confused, disoriented, and agitated/ restless. An assessment of her oral status indicated she was edentulous and had full upper and lower dentures. Review of Resident #47's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had clear speech and was able to make herself understood and understood others. Her cognition was indicated to be moderately impaired. Her assessment did not indicate whether she had problems with her dentures, as it was only assessed as part of a comprehensive assessment (admission, annual, or significant change assessment). Review of Resident #47's care plans revealed the resident had impaired dentition and was at risk for oral problems (i.e. pain, infection, difficulty chewing/swallowing, poor self image) related to her being edentulous. She was identified on the care plan as having full upper and lower dentures and wore them as she desired. The interventions included the need to clean her dentures daily and to encourage her dentures to be worn for meals as she desired. On 06/18/24 at 8:10 A.M., an interview with Resident #47's resident representative revealed the resident was missing her dentures and had been for several months now. He stated he had informed the facility about the missing dentures and they were supposed to have her seen by the dentist. He stated the resident was known to refuse to be seen by the facility's visiting dentist and he wanted them to coordinate the dental visit with him so he could be there to ensure the resident complied with being seen. He felt if he was able to be present, the resident would be more likely to allow the dentist to see her and she could get new dentures. Review of the facility's missing item reports for the past 12 months revealed there was no evidence of Resident #47 being known to have missing dentures. She was not one of the residents that had a missing item report filled out for missing property, despite the resident's representative stating he had reported her dentures missing several months ago. The facility did not maintain a missing item log and only had individual reports for residents reporting missing property. Review of the facility's dental appointment lists for past and future appointments revealed the dentist had visited the facility on 04/19/24 and again on 06/11/24. Two residents had been seen by the dentist on those dates, but did not include Resident #47. There was a future appointment with the dental hygienist scheduled for 07/10/24, but no future appointments were scheduled for the dentist yet. On 06/25/24 at 9:43 A.M., an interview with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the facility did not utilize a personal inventory sheet to record the residents' belongings that would show whether or not someone had dentures when they were first admitted or during the course of their stay. She thought Resident #47 had dentures at some point and she had talked with the resident's representative about that. She was not sure if she was confusing that with another resident or not. The facility's medical records employee was the one that coordinated ancillary services, such as dental. On 06/25/24 at 9:44 A.M., an interview with State tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #569 revealed she was not aware of Resident #47 having had dentures. She was asked to check the residents room for evidence of her having dentures. She searched her room and her bathroom and did not see any evidence of the resident having dentures in her possession. There were no denture cups for the storage of any dentures and she did not see any denture related supplies such as denture adhesive or cleaning tablets. On 06/25/24 at 9:45 A.M., an interview with STNA #557 revealed she was not aware of Resident #47 having dentures either. She had not seen her wear any and had not assisted her in the care of her dentures. She stated, if dentures were reported as missing, she would notify the nurse. On 06/27/24 at 9:48 A.M., an interview with Housekeeping/ Laundry Supervisor #525 revealed Resident #47 did mention to her that she was missing her dentures. She stated they looked around to see if they could find them in the resident's room or in other resident's room, but did not have any luck finding them. She recalled it was a month and a half to two months ago, when the resident reported them missing. She stated she thought she informed the facility's Administrator about it and sent a group text out about the reports of the missing dentures, when they could not be found. On 06/25/24 at 10:44 A.M., an interview with Social Service Director (SSD) #515 revealed she was not aware of Resident #47 having any reports of missing dentures. She thought the son may have been looking at getting her new ones, at one point, but she would need to double check to make sure that was accurate. The medical records employee coordinated ancillary service appointments and the facility's receptionist handled missing personal items. She confirmed Resident #47 had dentures in the past and was under Medicaid (MCD). On 06/25/24 at 10:50 A.M., an interview with Medical Records Employee #512 revealed she was the staff member that was responsible for the coordination of ancillary services to include dental. She reported the dentist was at the facility last in March 2024 and was due back sometime in September 2024. She was not aware of Resident #47 having any missing dentures. She knew they wanted her on the list to be seen, but may have misunderstood why she was needing to be seen. She stated, if she was aware of the resident having had misplaced her dentures, she would have sent an email to the dental company to get them to come in as soon as possible to get impressions made for new dentures. She stated she would go ahead and send an email over to the dental company to have them come in. The dental company would contact MCD to determine when the last time was that the resident had dentures made. If an item such as dentures were reported missing, they should fill out a paper for it. That would be done by the facility's Administrator or their receptionist, who handled missing personal items. She reported she would have been the one to address the need to replace missing dentures, but stated again she must have misunderstood. On 06/25/24 at 11:05 A.M., an interview with the facility's Administrator revealed she did not recall Resident #47 having had reports of missing dentures. She would have been covering for the receptionist at that time, as the receptionist was off work and had only recently come back. Reports of missing dentures would have required a missing item report to be completed and she denied that she completed one. The Administrator was informed the resident's son did say the resident had been missing her dentures for several months now and the housekeeping/laundry supervisor confirmed she had been informed about the missing dentures about a month and a half to two months ago. She was further informed the housekeeping/ laundry supervisor said she reported it to the Administrator and sent out the report of missing dentures over a group text, with no evidence any follow up was completed regarding the resident's and her resident representative's concerns of missing dentures. She was asked to provide the facility's policy on missing items. She denied they had a policy specific to missing personal items and was to follow the instructions on the missing item report. The directions at the top of the missing items policy/ report indicated when there was an allegation of misappropriation of resident property, a complete investigation would be completed and reported to the State Survey Agency. Review of the facility's policy on Grievances dated 11/22/16 revealed the facility recognized that residents had the right to voice grievances to the facility, or other agencies or entities that hear grievances, without discrimination or reprisal and without fear of discrimination or reprisal. Such grievances include those with respect to care and treatment that has been furnished, the behavior of staff and other residents and any other concern regarding the resident's stay.

Based on record review, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure a resident had a new resident review completed after a newly diagnosed mental illness was added to their diagnoses. This affected one (Resident #5) of one residents reviewed for Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) assessments. Findings include: Review of Resident #5's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility from another nursing facility on 04/12/24. Her diagnoses included unspecified psychosis (05/02/24), delusional disorder (05/02/24), anxiety disorder (04/11/24), and vascular dementia with behavioral disturbance (05/28/24). Review of Resident #5's Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) identification screen dated 05/05/23 (completed at prior nursing facility) revealed the resident was indicated to have the diagnosis of dementia under section (D.) Medical Diagnoses. The only mental illness (MI) diagnoses included under section (E.) Indications of a Serious Mental Illness was a mood disorder. Review of a Preadmission Screening and Resident Review Result Notice dated 05/05/23 revealed Resident #5 did not have any indications of a serious mental illness and/ or a developmental disability at the time that PASRR identification screen had been completed. Further review of another PASRR Identification Screen completed on 07/28/23 (prior to Resident #5's admission) revealed the resident was identified as having had the diagnosis of dementia under section D. and she was indicated to have mood disorder and panic or other severe anxiety disorder under section (E.). No other mental illness diagnoses were included as being a known diagnoses for the resident under section (E.). No PASRR Identification Screens had been completed upon or after Resident #5's admission to the facility. There was no evidence of a new PASRR being completed, after the resident was known to have the diagnosis of a delusional disorder on 05/02/24. On 06/24/24 at 10:10 A.M., an interview with Social Service Director (SSD) #515 revealed she was the facility's SSD at the time Resident #5 was given a new diagnosis of delusional disorder on 05/02/24. She confirmed she did not complete a new PASRR Identification Screen, after the diagnosis of delusional disorder was given. She denied they had any other PASRR Identification Screens that had been completed that were not the ones that had been completed while at the other nursing facility. She further confirmed a new PASRR Identification Screen should have been completed for the resident, after the diagnosis of delusional disorder was given. She stated she would have to submit a new PASRR to include the diagnosis of delusional disorder for the resident.

Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure residents bowel movements were properly monitored and those residents who went without a bowel movement for greater than three days received appropriate intervention to promote a bowel movement to occur. This affected two (Resident #5 and #20) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #5's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses of vascular dementia with behavioral disturbances, unspecified psychosis, delusional disorder, anxiety disorder, cognitive communication deficit, difficulty walking, chronic pain, and constipation (passing less than three stools a week or having a difficult time passing stool). Review of Resident #5's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was able to make herself understood and was able to understand others. Her cognition was severely impaired. She was known to have delusions, hallucinations, physical behaviors directed at others, and other behaviors not directed at others. A substantial to maximum assist was needed with toileting. She was always incontinent of her bowel. Review of Resident #5's care plans revealed she had a care plan in place for an alteration in elimination as she was usually incontinent of her bowel and bladder. The care plan also indicated the resident was known to have constipation. She required assistance with bathroom location at times and rarely made needs known prior to incontinence. The goal was for the resident to have a bowel movement per her usual pattern. Interventions included assisting with the bathroom location as needed, monitor and record bowel movements every shift, and administer medications as ordered. Review of Resident #5's physician's orders revealed the resident had an order to receive Senna Plus (stool softener) 8.6 milligrams (mg)- 50 mg with instructions to give one tablet by mouth (po) one time a day related to constipation. There was not an order for the resident to receive any prn laxatives for constipation. Review of Resident #5's bowel movement report for the past 30 days (05/22/24- 06/20/24) revealed the resident was not noted to have had a bowel movement recorded between 05/22/24 and 06/05/24 (15 days). Findings were verified by Director of Nursing (DON) #514. On 06/20/24 at 2:10 P.M., an interview with State tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #557 revealed Resident #5 was an extensive assist with toileting. She indicated the resident's continence status just depended on the day. Bowel movements (BM's) were recorded on the computer when they occurred. She denied they wrote any of the resident's bowel movements on paper. She reported the resident was pretty regular when it came to her having bowel movements and she tended to go a lot. She would think it was a documentation error, if she was not documented as having had a BM in 15 days. She reported the resident's normal bowel pattern was for her bowels to move every other day. On 06/20/24 at 2:13 P.M., an interview with DON #514 revealed she was able to determine Resident #5 was out of the facility at theER on [DATE] and again on 05/25/24. She was then hospitalized between 05/28/24 and 05/31/24, explaining why BM's were not recorded on those days. She was asked to provide any documented evidence of any BM's the resident had between 05/31/24 and 06/05/24 to show they were monitoring the resident's bowel movements and were intervening as needed, if she was without a BM for three or more days. She later returned at 3:15 P.M. and indicated that she was able to determine that the resident had a bowel movement on 05/31/24, as was indicated in the report they received from the hospital. She then stated they had a three day bowel and bladder tracking that showed the resident smeared on 06/02/24. She was not able to find evidence of a bowel movement of substance occurring between 06/01/24 and and 06/04/24 (four days). She acknowledged that was a four day period without documented evidence of the resident having had a substantial BM. She was asked what the facility's policy or protocol was regarding bowel movement tracking and when to intervene with a laxative to promote the resident to have a BM. She denied they had a bowel protocol and did not have any specific timeframe in which they intervened with a prn laxative. She indicated it would depend on how the resident was feeling. On 06/20/24 at 3:22 P.M., an interview with LPN #555 revealed it was on the dashboard in the computer where they received alerts regarding the resident's bowel movements and need for intervention. They received an alert at 48 hours and again at 72 hours. If the resident was without a BM at 72 hours, they would assess the resident and would review the resident's orders to see if they had a prn laxative. If not, they would call the physician to get an order. She confirmed the resident had an order for scheduled Senna Plus, but currently did not have an order to give a laxative as needed for constipation. 2. Review of Resident #20's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease, dementia with anxiety and other behavioral disturbances, intermittent explosive disorder, restlessness and agitation, anxiety disorder, and constipation. Review of Resident #20's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident did not have any communication issues. She was able to make herself understood and was able to understand others. Her cognition was severely impaired and she was not indicated to have displayed any behaviors nor was she known to reject care during the 7 days of the assessment period. Review of Resident #20's care plans revealed she had a care plan in place for an alteration in elimination. The care plan indicated she was usually continent of her bowel and was known to have constipation. She had episodes of incontinence with behaviors. The goal was for the resident to have soft bowel movements per her normal pattern. The interventions included the need to assist her with the location of the bathroom and toileting as needed. They were to monitor and record bowel movements every shift. Review of Resident #20's physician's orders revealed she had an order to receive Docusate Sodium (stool softener also known as Colace) 100 mg po once daily as needed (prn) for constipation. The order had been in place since 03/16/23. Review of Resident #20's BM record for the past 30 days (05/20/24-06/18) revealed she did not have a documented BM occurring between 05/27/24 and 06/02/24 (seven days). She was noted to have had a large BM on 05/26/24 and not further BM's were recorded until a medium sized BM on 06/03/24. Findings were verified by DON #506 and #514. On 06/18/24 at 3:08 P.M., an interview with DON #506 and #514 revealed residents' BM's were documented under the task tab of the EMR. They denied they would have documentation of a BM that occurred on a paper sheet to support Resident #20 had any other BM's that were not already noted under the task tab of the EMR. They could not provide any additional evidence of the resident having a bowel movement during that seven day period. They further confirmed there was no documented evidence to show the nurses had administered the resident a stool softener (Colace) as was ordered daily on an as needed basis for the resident between 05/27/24 and 06/02/24. DON #506 stated she did not feel the resident was likely to have went without a BM for seven days. She felt it was more likely the resident may have taken herself to the bathroom and had a BM, without the staff being aware. She reported she would check the shift report to see if they had any additional documentation of a BM occurring. On 06/18/24 at 4:10 P.M., a follow up interview with DON #506 revealed she had talked to a couple staff members who indicated Resident #20 had a BM on 06/01/24 that was not recorded. She obtained statements from the two employees with one claiming the resident had a large BM on 06/01/24 and the other indicated the resident had a medium sized BM on 06/01/24. She acknowledged even with a BM occurring on 06/01/24, the resident would have been five days without a recorded BM between 05/27/24 and 05/31/24. She confirmed the resident's MAR's for May 2024 did not reflect the resident was given Colace 100 mg po that was ordered on a daily basis as needed for constipation. DON #506 denied the facility had a policy for bowel movement monitoring, nor did they have a bowel protocol they followed.

Based on observation, record review, interview, and consult notes review the facility failed to ensure Resident #4 was provided orthotic devices and/or restorative exercises for decreased range of motion (ROM) to the right lower extremity. This affected one (Resident #4) of two residents reviewed for positioning. The facility census was 65. Findings included: Record review revealed Resident #4 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including history of falling, heart failure, sequelae of cerebral infarction, hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a cerebral infarction affecting right dominate side, muscle weakness, unsteadiness on feet, history of traumatic brain injury, osteoarthritis, dysphasia, need for assistance with personal care, epilepsy, and lack of coordination. Review of Resident #4's discontinued orders revealed on 08/16/18 an order was written that the resident may use a knee brace with ambulation at his request. The order was discontinued on 11/11/19. Further review of Resident #4's discontinued orders dated 03/06/20 and discontinued 04/28/20 revealed to refer for consult for ankle/foot orthotic (AFO) to the right lower extremity. Review of Resident #4's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed the resident had limited ROM on one side of the lower extremities. Review of Resident #4's ROM assessment dated [DATE] revealed Occupational Therapy (OT) participated in the assessment and the staff and resident believe he (the resident) could do more. The resident had limited ROM on the right lower side and arm. To maintain strength and endurance, the resident was to perform active range of motion of the right upper extremity using the left upper extremity with a three-pound weight for 10 repetitions three times. Staff were to encourage slow controlled movements and verbal cues for proper pace/technique and task segmentation as needed. There was no documented evidence the limited ROM of the right lower side was addressed or a program was implemented. Review of Resident #4's current orders revealed no evidence of orders for restorative, knee braces, or ankle/foot orthotic (AFO). Review of Resident #4's current plan of care revealed no evidence of a comprehensive/individualized plan of care for range of motion or restorative services. Review of Resident #4's activity of daily living (ADL) plan of care dated 07/09/18 and revised on 05/03/24 revealed the resident required assistance with ADLs and may be at risk for developing complications associated with decreased ADL self-performance related to: behaviors, disease process, cognition problems, stroke, hemiplegia of the right side, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), aphasia (difficulty speaking), weakness, and noncompliance. Intervention included assisting the resident with ADL's. Restorative nursing to evaluate and treat as needed. The resident was dependent at times with toileting and transfers Review of Resident #4's comprehensive plan of care including discontinued interventions revealed the intervention for an AFO to the right lower extremity was removed on 03/16/23. The intervention removed indicated to ensure the resident had a knee length sock to the AFO to the right lower extremity and to check the skin prior to application and after removing the AFO. Review of a therapy note dated 05/17/24 revealed active and passive range of motion would be completed to bilateral upper extremity in all planes as tolerated with weights to maintain strength. There was no evidence of a program/recommendation for the limited ROM of the lower extremities. Interview on 06/17/24 at 3:57 P.M. with Resident #4, revealed he lost his right leg brace and then reported therapy had taken his other brace (knee)). The resident reported staff were not providing ROM to his lower extremities and he needed exercise. The resident had difficulty communicating/expressing himself due to dysphasia (difficulty speaking). The resident was noted to propel in a wheelchair by using his left foot to propel himself in his room. Interview on 06/20/24 at 8:15 A.M. with Housekeeping/Supervisor #525, revealed the resident had reported his leg brace was missing over the weekend, however they were not missing because therapy had discontinued the brace. The staff member confirmed the resident had braces because she can recall moving the braces when she cleaned his room. Interview on 06/20/24 8:18 A.M., with Therapy Director (TD) #513 revealed the therapy department was newer in the last year and half and had limited access to previous medical records. TD #513 reported she was unaware the resident ever had an ankle-foot orthotic (AFO); however, the resident had seen an AFO in the therapy room and kept telling staff it was his, but it belonged to another resident. TD #513 reported the resident had an over-the-counter knee brace like you would buy at the drug store that was all stretched out and was not providing any support. The therapy department had bought him a new one, but he didn't like it and the knee brace was returned. Therapy did not try any other type of brace, nor could she recall why he didn't like it for sure. Observation on 06/20/24 at 9:30 A.M., with TD #513 revealed she had gone to follow up with Resident #4 regarding his concerns related to the AFO and braces. She was able to find one of the elastic/compression knee braces. Further observation revealed the resident had a second knee brace that was soft and had straps, however it had missing hardware in the bend of the knee. The TD reported she was not able to find the AFO. The resident kept reporting therapy took it (the AFO). TD reported to the resident that she took the compression knee brace they had bought in April because he kept refusing to wear it and she was not aware he had an AFO. The TD reported therapy had screened the resident, had picked him up for services as a result of the screen and referred him to orthotics to be fitted for a new AFO and knee braces. Interview on 06/20/24 at 9:55 A.M., with Restorative Aide (RA) #536 revealed the resident was receiving active range of motion through the restorative program, when he was compliant, to the upper extremity. RA #536 reported the resident used to wear a compression knee brace; however, it was stretched out and therapy had ordered a new knee brace, but it was too small due to the resident's legs being swollen. The resident's weights were changed to two pounds instead of three pounds as originally recommended due to the facility didn't have three-pound weights. Interview on 06/20/24 at 10:29 A.M., with Registered Nurse (RN) #520 confirmed Resident #4 did not have orders or a comprehensive plan of care for restorative. RN #520 revealed the facility doesn't write orders for restorative and they don't do an individualized plan of care for restorative programs. RN #520 reported staff were to refer to the task section of the medical record to see if residents were on a restorative program and to document participation with restorative programs in the electronic medical record. RN #520 reported she would have to do some investigating regarding the resident's past use of the AFO and knee braces and why he was no longer using them. Review of therapy screening notes dated 06/20/24 revealed the resident had a knee brace, however the lateral hinges had been removed. The resident would benefit from a consult for orthotics to address deficits, as needed, including possible right AFO and knee brace. Review of Resident #4's orthotics consult and order dated 06/20/24 revealed the resident was evaluated and ordered a right AFO to prevent drop foot and bilateral knee orthotics to stabilize his knees while standing and ambulating. Interview on 06/24/24 at 7:53 A.M., 8:05 A.M., and 8:26 A.M., with RN #520 confirmed the resident had an AFO and knee brace plan of care that was discontinued in 2023. The only thing she could determine was the resident had discharged and upon return the AFO and brace were not re-ordered or addressed upon re-admission. RN #520 reported therapy had screened the resident on 06/20/24 (after concern was identified) and picked the resident up for treatment. Therapy had also called an orthotic provider to evaluate the resident, which they had recommended an AFO and braces and were just waiting for insurance authorization.

The daughter reported her mother had been in the hospital for rectal bleeding for several days and she could not care for her father at home, so she placed him at the nursing facility for five days until her mother could go home. The resident wandered out of the nursing facility and was found down a hill. He sustained multiple bruises and abrasions and the cervical spine fracture. The resident was evaluated and reported not to be a surgical candidate at this time due to age, poor functional status, and dementia. The resident would be admitted for monitoring, pain management, and placement to a different skilled facility. Review of the computerize tomography (CT) scan report from the hospital dated 08/04/19 revealed the resident had an unstable fracture pattern at C1 and C2. There was a displaced atypical Jefferson fracture. There was also a displaced fracture involving the odontoid (part of the cervical spin) which was displaced posteriorly by 6 mm. A rotatory subluxation was also present at C1 and C2. Review of the facility investigation of the incident revealed it contained written and typed statements from staff as follows: A statement, dated 08/04/19 from LPN #120 revealed upon arrival to the facility for her shift on 08/04/19 at 6:30 [NAME]M. Resident #75 was sitting in the A wing living area in his wheelchair. The statement revealed the resident needed persistent reminders to stay seated in his wheelchair due to the fear of him falling. LPN #120 attempted to have one-on-one staff with the resident the majority of the day. At approximately 3:40 P.M. HA #314 asked if the nurse would assist the resident onto the commode in his room. The nurse advised her to call for an STN[NAME] At approximately 4:00 P.M., she went to Resident #75's room and he was not there. The statement indicated she attempted to see if any staff knew where the resident was and after not finding the resident the facility elopement procedure was initiated. The resident was found down over the hill in front of the building and was injured. EMS was called and staff requested wound supplies for the resident's injuries. Review of a statement from Dietary Aide (DA) #204, dated 08/04/19 revealed on 08/04/19 at 3:00 P.M. Resident #75 had come to the back kitchen door and was pushing his wheelchair into it repeatedly, so she asked what was wrong. The resident reported he was looking for the church services. The DA told him it was on the 300 hall. The statement indicated they talked for about 15 minutes before he went to look for someone on 300 hall. Around 3:25 P.M., she saw the resident walking down the 200 hall unit. Review of a statement from STNA #808, dated 08/04/19 revealed she assisted Resident #75 off the commode and into his wheelchair on 08/04/19 at 4:00 P.M. She stated the resident had requested to watch the television in his room. When she exited his room, he was in his wheelchair watching the television. Review of a statement from LPN #312, dated 08/04/19 revealed Resident #75 had been in the common area on A hall, in the activity room, and was one-on-one with staff due to being a fall risk. The statement indicated on 08/04/19 at 3:38 P.M. Resident #75 was with STNA #118 and herself on the A hall (100 hall) with one-on-one supervision. Resident #75 stated he was trying to go to church. The LPN made him aware that church was over, and he went back into the common area. LPN #312's statement indicated on 08/04/19 at 4:10 P.M., she used her walkie talkie to call staff in the dining room to see if Resident #75 was there. Staff responded no he was not. LPN #120 then called over the walkie talkie asking if anyone had eyes on Resident #75 at that time. Everyone responded no and the elopement search begun. As staff were searching, STNA #403 yelled He's down the hill on the ground! The three staff ran down the hill and there was blood noted on the resident's head. 911 was called since staff could not determine if he had fallen down the entire hill at that time. Review of a statement from STNA #403, dated 08/04/19 at 4:00 P.M. revealed the STNA was on B hall (200 hall) when a page came over the walkie talkie about Resident #75. She went to the main entrance and walked over by the flagpole where she saw Resident #75 laying at the bottom of the hill. On 08/06/19 during a review of the facility investigation, there was no conclusion as to what door the resident exited or how Resident #75 was able to exit the facility unsupervised by staff. On 08/06/19 at 11:39 P.M. interview with the DON and Administrator revealed they were not able to determine how Resident #75 eloped from the building. The administrative staff revealed the doors on the 200 unit, 300 unit, the [MEDICAL TREATMENT] door at the end of 200 hall and the front doors were unlocked but had a wander guard system in place. However, Resident #75 did not have a wander guard device in place. During the interview, the DON revealed the admission elopement assessment, completed on 08/02/19 was inaccurately completed as the resident was physically capable of getting out of the facility on his own. The DON confirmed Resident #75 who was cognitively impaired had exited the facility without staff knowledge and was found at the bottom of a hill next to the facility and sustained cervical neck fractures On 08/06/19 at 12:23 P.M., telephone interview with Resident #75's daughter revealed prior to her fathers' five-day respite admission to the facility he required twenty-four-hour care seven days a week and was provided this care at home. He was walking at home with a walker prior to his admission to the facility. Resident #75's daughter revealed the resident was placed in the facility for an emergency respite care stay because she was also her mother's caretaker and she had been hospitalized . Hospice had recommended the five-day respite stay to her for her father. She stated she had concerns with the facility right away. Her concerns included that they had placed her demented father at the end of an isolated hallway. She reported dementia residents needed to be around people and not be isolated. Her second concern was that they placed her father in a wheelchair and he did not know how to use it and she had to show him. He was used to using a walker. She was also under the impression from facility staff that her father would have alarms and staff supervision due to his dementia diagnosis. She was told by other residents in the facility when she was visiting that they were concerned with her father's safety and they would keep an eye on him. She confirmed he was wandering around the building when she had visited. The daughter as well as her friend had visited her father the day of the incident on 08/04/19. The daughter stated on 08/04/19 her friend left around 3:45 P.M. to 3:50 P.M. The friend and herself had told staff when they were leaving so the staff were aware and could keep an eye on him. On 08/06/19 at 12:55 P.M. and 3:05 P.M. interview with LPN #120 revealed she worked day shift on Sunday 08/04/19. When she arrived for her shift the resident was attempting to stand up and was asking questions that did not make sense. She stated he did wander around the building that day, however he was not exit seeking. She stated when she notified the daughter of the elopement incident the daughter had questioned why he did not have a wander guard on because she was under the impression he was to have one. She reported the daughter had visited earlier that day and the daughter did report to her that she was leaving. LPN #120 did not recall seeing a visitor visiting Resident #75 at first, then reported there might have been someone visiting him in a purple shirt. When the daughter left, she had staff bring the resident to the common area so he could be visually observed. LPN #120 reported the hospitality aide provided one-on-one supervision when she was able to as the resident was attempting to stand without staff supervision. Staff were told to keep the resident in a common area. LPN #120 did not know why the STNA left Resident $75 in his room by himself except that he requested to watch television. LPN #120 verbalized her time frame of the incident and it correlated with her statement provided as part of the investigation on 08/04/19. LPN #120 reported you could see where the resident's feet had slid in the grass and see the tire tracks from the wheelchair down the hill until it reached the drop off. The drop off was about 25 feet and the resident was lying at the bottom of the drop off broadline to the driveway of the building at the bottom of hill. She thought the wheelchair was lying across the bottom of his legs but couldn't recall 100 percent. LPN #120 revealed following the incident education was provided on elopement drills, assessments, and the elopement binder. LPN #120 was able to verbalize the procedure to follow for an elopement. On 08/06/19 at 2:10 P.M. telephone interview with Resident #75's Hospice nurse (HN) #704 revealed Resident #75 was a current Hospice patient and she had provided services to the resident at home as well. The resident was sent to the facility for emergency respite care for five days while the resident's care giver (his daughter) was at the hospital with his wife. Hospice had not seen the resident at the facility, however when she gave report to LPN #309 he was a high fall risk and would benefit with the use of alarms. The resident had been more confused in the last few weeks. HN #704 reported the resident was never left alone at home. His wife or daughter was always at his side. She reported he had no desire to leave home because he had someone with him at all times. She reported any resident with dementia would be at risk for elopement especially with a change in environment. On 08/07/19 at 6:35 [NAME]M. interview with STNA #400 and STNA #210 revealed Resident #75 was wandering in the facility Saturday night (08/03/19) into Sunday (08/04/19) morning. Early Sunday morning the STNA staff indicated they saw the resident sitting in the main entrance lobby by himself looking out the door. The STNA brought the resident back to his unit because she didn't want him setting off the alarms. The resident would not stay in bed and staff tried to keep the resident in the common area or provided one-on-one if they were able. The STNA staff did identify Resident #75 used a wheelchair but was also observed walking in the hallway and would occasionally miss a step now and then. The STNA staff thought the resident liked looking out the windows and doors. On 08/07/19 at 7:14 [NAME]M., interview with LPN #312 revealed she had worked the previous Friday, Saturday and Sunday on A-back hall. On Friday 08/02/19 Resident #75 was confused and staff initiated one-on-one due to safety concerns over the resident falling. She stated although this was not documented as being completed staff were notified verbally. LPN #312 indicated on Saturday 08/03/19 Resident #75 was a little more active and got to know the building. He mostly stayed in the lounge until the end of her shift then he became more active and started attempting to walk around. On Sunday 08/04/19 he was wandering around the building looking for the church. He was trying to find the lady who said she would take him to church. It was noted he was in the kitchen looking for the church. He never verbalized he wanted to go home or exited, however he would sit in front of the door and look out the window. On Sunday 08/04/19 at 3:38 P.M. he told the LPN he was looking for the church. She told him church was over. After she was done with medication administration, she went to assist LPN #120. LPN #120 asked if she had seen Resident #75 because they had been trying to keep visual checks on him all weekend. The HA was helping staff watch him, but she had to go to the dining room to help with the dinner meal. The resident was not in the dining room, so they started looking through the rooms on 300 hall. The staff split up and went outside. STNA #403 found him at the bottom of the hill next to a building around 4:23 P.M. On 08/07/19 at 7:19 [NAME]M. interview with LPN #309 revealed she was Resident #75's admitting nurse on Friday 08/02/19. She had worked 6:30 [NAME]M. to 3:00 P.M. Friday and the resident arrived via stretcher. Resident #75 was confused but knew his name and knew he was in St. Clairsville. Upon talking to Hospice staff, the LPN was informed the resident had a history of [REDACTED]. On 08/07/19 at 10:00 [NAME]M., interview with the DON revealed that although the facility had video cameras in the hallways (except for on the 300 unit) the facility had not viewed the camera footage as part of the investigation as to how Resident #75 exited the facility unsupervised or what door he might have exited until today. The DON revealed video camera footage showed Resident #75 exiting the facility on 08/04/19 (time not provided) from the door that adjoins the [MEDICAL TREATMENT] center to the nursing home. This door was noted to be off the 200 unit. On 08/07/19 at 10:02 [NAME]M., observation of the video camera footage with Business office Manager (BOM) #503, the DON and Administrator revealed on 08/04/19 at 3:52 P.M., Resident #75 was observed exiting the [MEDICAL TREATMENT] door at the end of 200 hall unsupervised by staff. At 3:52:33 an unidentified person exited the secure unit next to the [MEDICAL TREATMENT] door and walked behind the nurse's station. Additional observation of the video camera footage on a larger screen revealed footage of the A-Hall nurse's station (corner of 100 and 300 unit) and B-Hall nurse's station (200 Hall) was available. Observation with BOM #503 revealed Resident #75 entered the camera view on A-hall on 08/04/19 at 3:50:41. At 3:50:41 STNA #808 exited behind the nurse's station and headed down the end of 100 hall (vent unit). At 3:51:43 P.M., two STNAs, STNA #808 and STNA #403 were at the corner of the nurse's station and the resident was near the other end of the nurse's station on the same side. There was no evidence any of the staff attempted to redirect the resident as he headed down the hallway past the therapy department towards 200 halls. There was no evidence the resident was being provided one-on-one supervision as recommended as a nursing intervention. The resident exited the A-Hall nurse's station camera footage at 3:51:57 and was heading down towards the 200 hall. At 3:51:45 P.M., the resident appeared on the camera footage on B hall nurses' station The resident exited the camera footage at 3:51:59. An unidentified staff member was noted at the front of B Hall at 3:52:06 P.M. and an unidentified staff exited the secure unit (near the [MEDICAL TREATMENT] door) and went behind the nurse's station at 3:52:33 P.M. BOM #503 verified the video camera footage at the time of the observation. On 08/07/19 at 10:12 [NAME]M. observation of the facility exit door off the 200 unit with MD #508 revealed it exited to a foyer. From the foyer you could either walk straight to enter the adjoining [MEDICAL TREATMENT] center or turn right to exit the facility to the outside parking lot through double automatic sliding doors. Although the exact route Resident #75 took after walking outside the door was not determined as part of the facility investigation, the following observations were made: After exiting the double automatic doors, the driveway was paved. To the left the paved road would bring you around the [MEDICAL TREATMENT] center and to the front of the nursing home building or straight down to the main highway. Walking to the right would take you around the building to another paved parking lot. The pavement ended almost to the back corner of the building then it turned into a grassy area. Around the corner of the building near the 300 unit where the resident resided there was an area of grass which turned into a concrete sidewalk that would bring you around to a parking lot in front of the 300 unit (which appeared to be an addition to the main building). That parking lot from the 300 unit leads to the front of the nursing home building. To the right of the parking lot there was a steep embankment. The embankment appeared to be greater than 45-degree downward angle. Measurements were obtained with MD #508 which noted the hill was 130 feet down from the corner of the parking lot and then there was a steep change in elevation near the bottom of the hill that measured an additional 30 feet to the location where the resident was found. LPN #312 confirmed where Resident #75 was found at the bottom of the hill. MD #508 verified he was provided education on the elopement policy and procedure following the incident and he also stated he ensured the flashlights in the elopement kit had new batteries and current supplies needed. On 08/07/19 at 11:18 [NAME]M., interview with the DON revealed she was not aware Resident #75 was having wandering behaviors over the weekend and indicated additional staff statements and audits were being initiated at this time. On 08/07/19 at 3:22 P.M. interview with the DON and Manager of Clinical Services RN #701 verified the two STNAs on the camera video footage seen prior to Resident #75 exiting the facility were STNA #808 and STNA #403. She confirmed there was no documented evidence in Resident #75's medical record that indicated the resident was attempting to stand or wandering from the time of his admission through 08/04/19. RN #701 verified the resident did not have an immediate needs plan of care for [MEDICAL CONDITION] or dementia and that no updated wandering or elopement assessment or interventions had been initiated by direct care staff following the observed incidents on 08/03/19 and 08/04/19 when staff initiated one-on-one supervision for the resident. Review of the facility policy titled Elopement and Wandering Residents, dated 04/25/18 revealed the facility would ensure that residents who exhibited wandering behavior and/or were are at risk for elopement received adequate supervision to prevent accidents and receive care in accordance with their person-centered pan of care addressing the unique factors contributing to wandering or elopement risk. Wandering was defined as random or repetitive locomotion that may be goal-directed (e.g.,) the person appears to be searching for something such as an exit) or non-goal directed or aimless. Elopement occurs when a resident leaves the premises or a safe area without authorization (i.e., an order for [REDACTED]. This deficiency is an incidental finding to Complaint Number OH 860.
