F686G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement pressure offloading interventions timely for resident's assessed to be at increased risk for skin breakdown to prevent the development of pressure injuries (PI) for 2 of 3 residents (Residents 1 & 2) investigated for development of new PI after admission. Resident 1 experienced harm when they developed two avoidable deep tissue pressure injuries (DTPI) after admission, one on each heel, that resulted in pain, affected their mobility and care routines, and delayed their rehabilitation and discharge goals. Resident 2 experienced harm when they developed a Stage 3 PI on their sacrum that resulted in pain, affected their ability to sleep, comfort, and decreased their bed mobility. These failures placed residents at risk for injury, infection, pain, and diminished quality of life. Findings included.The 2025 National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP, a leading expert in pressure injuries) defined PIs as localized damage to the skin and underlying soft tissues usually occurring over a bony prominence. The injury could present as intact skin or an open ulcer and may be painful. These injuries occurred from intense and/or prolonged pressure or pressure in combination with friction or shearing of skin tissues. The NPIAP defined a stage 3 PI as full thickness skin loss that extends below the top and middle layers of skin in which fat or connective tissue is visible in the ulcer. A Deep Tissue Pressure Injury (DTPI) was defined as intact or nonintact skin with localized area of persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon, purple discoloration, or separation of multiple skin layers revealing a dark wound bed or blood-filled blister <Facility Policy> Review of the August 2009 policy for Skin Integrity, updated March 2026, showed residents who entered the facility without PI would not develop a PI, assessment of PI risk was completed at admission, a care plan would be established based on risk factors, and ongoing weekly skin assessments would be completed. The policy showed when a new PI was identified there would be an assessment, documentation, and implementation of interventions for PI treatment. <Resident 1> Review of the 04/01/2026 admission nursing assessment showed Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], was dependent on staff for bed mobility, and required two staff to assist with movement in bed. Review of the 04/01/2026 admission skin assessment showed Resident 1 had no skin impairment on their heels at admission.

Review of the 04/02/2026 wound specialist progress note showed the facility made a referral for an at-risk skin consultation for treatment recommendations related to a risk assessment score placing Resident 1 at risk for skin related complications. The wound specialist note showed no skin impairment on the feet or heels, and muscle weakness to both feet. The specialist recommended change of position every two hours related to Resident 1 immobility, skin care with lotion to feet, and float heels off mattress using pillows or wedge. Review of the 04/08/2026 baseline care plan showed no care plan to prevent Resident 1 from developing PIs. The care plan did not show interventions to prevent skin breakdown identified in the Braden skin assessment or the wound specialists recommendations for PI prevention. Review of two late entry nursing progress notes for 04/09/2026 showed Resident 1 had a DTPI on the right heel measuring 3.5 centimeters (cm) long by 4.5 cm wide, dark red/purple in color, worsening since last evaluation.

Based on interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the correct type of sling was used to safely transfer 1 of 3 residents (Resident 1) reviewed for mechanical lift transfers. Resident 1 experienced harm when they were transferred incorrectly and sustained a spinal injury. Findings included . <Facility Policy> According to the facility's policy titled Fall Evaluation and Management, after a fall residents would be evaluated, cared for, and appropriate notifications made. Review of the Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool) dated 04/20/2024, showed Resident 1 had adequate hearing and adequate vision with corrective lenses. The MDS showed Resident 1 had intact memory and diagnoses including a seizure disorder, brain damage, and a condition that caused convulsions (involuntary jerking movements). The MDS showed Resident 1 had functional limits to both the upper and lower extremities range of motion and was assessed to be totally dependent on staff for transfers. Review of the May 2024 Medication Administration Record (MAR) showed Resident 1 received a muscle relaxant continuously via a pump for convulsions. Resident 1 also received the same medication orally as needed. Record review of Resident 1's care plans and evaluations from admission on 08/04/2022 through 05/21/2024 showed no documented assessment to establish what kind or size of sling Resident 1 required for safety during transfers. Review of the Functional Mobility Care Plan (CP) revised 04/26/2024 showed Resident 1 required the assistance of two staff for transfers. The CP included an 11/27/2023 intervention that showed Resident 1 required the use of a mechanical lift for transfers. This CP did not document the size or type of sling Resident 1 required for transferring with a mechanical lift. The CP did not document which sling(s) should be used or were compatible with the lift Review of the 11/02/2023 risk for falls CP, revised 11/02/2023, showed Resident 1 was at risk for falls due to their brain injury, balance problems, use of psychoactive medications, and their seizure disorder. The CP included an 08/15/2022 goal for Resident 1 to be free of falls. Review of an alert charting progress note dated 05/21/2024 at 9:55 PM showed Resident 1 fell from their sling while being transferred by two Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) with a mechanical lift. The note showed the resident slid from the sling; the CNAs assisted the resident to the floor. The CNAs identified no injury at that time. The note showed on 05/21/2024 at 10:15 PM Resident 1 complained of back pain, and upon assessment by the nurse, a one-inch-long by one-inch-wide dark red bruise along the spine and a two-inch-by-two-inch closed abrasion on the back right rib cage were identified. The note showed the nurse informed the physician who ordered an X-ray as soon as possible. Review of the nursing progress note, dated 05/22/2024 at 2:53 PM, showed a spinal X-ray was obtained that morning and Resident 1 was noted to have a mild compression fracture of their T5 vertebra, and the resident was sent out to the hospital. A progress noted dated 05/22/2024 at 9:42 PM note showed Resident 1 returned to the facility later that day. Review of the 05/22/2024 emergency room (ER) notes showed Resident 1 was diagnosed with compression fractures to their T4 and T5 vertebrae. In an interview on 05/24/2024 at 9:35 AM Staff A (Director of Nursing) stated the two CNAs (Staff B and Staff C) assisting Resident 1 when they fell were new hires at the time. Staff A stated Resident 1 was assessed to require a medium whole-body sling for use with the mechanical lift. Staff A stated Resident 1 complained in the past of discomfort during transfers and was provided a split sling (a sling braces the body across the back and has straps that loop under the thighs for support) instead of the sling the resident was assessed to require. Staff A was unsure when this change occurred. Staff A stated Resident 1 began to have tremors during the transfer and slid through the sling and was guided by staff to the floor. In an interview on 05/24/2024 at 10:13 AM Resident 1 stated they did not think the sling was put on right. Resident 1 stated the sling felt different. Resident 1 stated they felt they were leaning more forward than normal when elevated in the sling that day. Resident 1 stated Staff C bumped the wheel of the lift with the resident's wheelchair, at which point Resident 1 began to move, and then slid through the sling on to the floor. Resident 1 stated the Staff B and Staff C placed them back in bed. Resident 1 stated both CNAs were upset, and the resident attempted to calm Staff C who was most upset. In an interview on 05/24/2024 at 10:40 AM Staff B stated Staff C asked for their assistance to transfer Resident 1 on the night of 05/21/2024. Staff B stated they used the split sling to transfer Resident 1 but was not sure if this was the resident's usual sling. Staff B stated after the wheelchair bumped the wheel of the lift Resident 1 began to spasm and fell to a sitting position on the floor. Staff B stated they and Staff C then moved Resident 1 back into their bed from the floor and informed the nurse. After this, the nurse came the Resident 1's room and assessed the resident for injury. In an interview on 05/24/2024 at 11:10 AM Staff D (Staff Development Coordinator) stated the therapy department was responsible for assessing lifts and slings for residents who required them for transferring. Staff D stated once therapy determined the type and size of sling required, they informed the resident care manager. In an interview on 05/29/2024 at 11:48 AM Staff E (Director of Rehabilitation) stated they did not know where an assessment for a sling would be located and that this process was not the therapy department's responsibility. Staff E stated in [AGE] years they had no recollection of therapy participating in this process. In an interview on 05/29/2024 at 12:24 PM Staff A stated the therapy department was responsible for sling assessments. Staff B stated they would have to double check with Staff E regarding sling assessments. Staff B stated the assessment would be reflected on the CP. Staff B stated Resident 1 used the split sling since they started working at the facility. Staff B stated if facility staff discussed the risks and benefits of using the split sling with Resident 1, it was done so orally and there was no record of that process. Review of the CP showed an intervention for a medium full body sling was added to Resident 1's CP on 05/22/2024, the day after the fall from the sling. There was no size and type of sling documented in the CPs prior to the fall. REFERENCE: WAC 388-97-1060 (3)(g).

F689K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to accurately assess and monitor facility water temperatures to ensure safe water temperatures. The likelihood of serious injury [MEDICAL CONDITION] to elevated water temperatures, constituted a situation of Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 02/26/2020. Additionally, the facility failed to thoroughly investigate accidents to determine the circumstances of resident accidents and implement measures to prevent reoccurrence for two (#23 & 42) of four residents reviewed for falls. These failures placed the residents at a potential risk of harm related to avoidable incidents. Findings included . REGULATION Water Temperature - Water may reach hazardous temperatures in hand sinks, showers, tubs, and any other source or location where hot water is accessible to a resident.[MEDICAL CONDITION] to hot water/liquids may also be due to spills and/or immersion. Many residents in long-term care facilities have conditions that may put them at increased risk [MEDICAL CONDITION] by scalding. These conditions include: decreased skin thickness, decreased skin sensitivity, [MEDICAL CONDITION], decreased agility (reduced reaction time), decreased cognition or dementia, decreased mobility, and decreased ability to communicate. According to regulatory guidance, based upon the time of the exposure and the temperature of the water, the severity of the harm to the skin is identified by the degree of burn, as follows: First-[MEDICAL CONDITION] the top layer of skin (e.g., minor sunburn). These may present as red and painful to touch, and the skin will show mild swelling. Second-[MEDICAL CONDITION] the first two layers of skin. These may present as deep reddening of the skin, pain, blisters, glossy appearance from leaking fluid, and possible loss of some skin. Third-[MEDICAL CONDITION] the entire thickness of the skin and permanently destroy tissue. These present as loss of skin layers, often painless (pain may be caused by patches of first- and second-[MEDICAL CONDITION] third-degree burns), and dry, leathery skin. Skin may appear charred or have patches that appear white, brown, or black. CMS provides the following guidance for the amount of time which would cause a third degree burn at the following temperatures: 15 seconds at 133°F (Fahrenheit), one minute at 127°F, three minutes at 124°F, and five minutes at 120°F. CMS advises,[MEDICAL CONDITION] occur even at water temperatures below those identified in the table, depending on an individual's condition and the length of exposure. FACILITY POLICY The degree of injury depends on factors including the water temperature, the amount of skin exposed, and the duration of exposure. According to the facility Preventative Maintenance Manual dated July 2008, Washington State Water Temperature Regulations reference, The facility must ensure: The hot water system maintains water temperatures at one hundred ten degrees Fahrenheit, plus or minus ten degrees F, at fixtures used by residents and staff. OBSERVATIONS Observation on 02/26/2020 at 8:05 AM, showed room [ROOM NUMBER] with water temperatures of 126 F, rooms #517/518 with water temperatures of 121 F; and at 9:40 AM room [ROOM NUMBER] was noted with a temperature of 125.8 F. During observations and interview on 02/26/2020 at 9:40 AM, Staff M, Maintenance Director, was noted to use a laser thermometer to test the water temperatures. Staff M pointed the laser through the running streams of water from the faucets, with the laser dot placed on the back of the sink. Using this method, at 9:45 AM, Staff M, confirmed a temperature of 117 F in room [ROOM NUMBER]. Upon changing the angle of the laser, Staff M obtained different water temperatures, confirming a temperature of 123 F, when aiming the laser at the bottom of the sink. According to the Raytek Minitemp MT2 Infrared Thermometer manufacturer's specification indicated the infrared thermometer allows user to accurately measure surface temperatures. An infrared thermometer measures the surface temperature of an object. Steps you need to take to measure the temperature of water using an infrared thermometer were identified as: Prepare a vessel with a strip of electrical tape on its side to prevent reflected infrared energy, which can to skew your readings; Pour the water that you want to get a temperature reading on into the vessel; Point the laser end of the infrared thermometer toward the strip of electrical tape at the side of the vessel; the temperature will be displayed in the digital screen; To verify the results, take at least two readings. Review of facility temperature monitoring logs showed that for January and February 2020, temperatures averaging 114-117 F. In an interview on the morning of 02/26/2020, Staff M stated he pointed the gun at the water and let it heat up to 117 and turn the gun off. According to facility provided documents, no water temperatures were monitored in December 2019. In an interview on 02/26/2020 at 9:52 AM, when asked if Staff M failed to accurately measure water temperatures, Staff B stated, I don't think you are wrong. Subsequent observations with Staff B, Director of Nursing, confirmed temperatures of 123.4 F in room [ROOM NUMBER] at 10:11 AM. At 10:14 AM, Staff M noted temperatures of 122.7 F in the 500 unit shower room and a temperature of 123.4 F in room [ROOM NUMBER] at 10:21 AM. In an interview on 02/26/2020 at 11:46 AM, Staff T, a facility contractor staff, stated that he altered the boiler that serviced the 500 hall and stated, The factory setting for the boiler says 120 degrees, that's the target, I turned it down to 115 degrees . When asked what the factory settings were, Staff T explained, It usually means (the boiler should be) set to 120 plus or minus. When asked, based on the manufacturers recommendations, what the boiler temperature should be set at, Staff T replied, I'd always set it at 120 degrees, that is what it comes (set) at. Staff T confirmed the boiler temperature should have been set at 120 degrees F, rather than 130 degrees F, the temperature at which facility maintenance staff had set the boiler. Observations on 02/27/2020 at 9:54 AM showed the boiler temperature for the 1-400 unit was set at 125 F. In an interview at 10:10 AM, Staff A, Administrator stated the staff method for testing water was, We are putting a cup in the bottom of the sink and putting in a submersible thermometer .Everybody's been in-serviced on that way .that's how (Staff T) does it. Maintenance staff failed to provide monitoring to ensure safe water temperatures. Maintenance staff utilized a temperature gun which assessed the surface temperature of the side of the sink, rather than the actual water temperature. Staff failed to document the location and times the temperatures were assessed. In an interview on 2/26/2020 at 10:26 AM Staff B, DNS, indicated the system for checking water temperatures was flawed and confirmed water temperatures, exceed regulation. RESIDENT INTERVIEWS In an interview on 02/26/2020 at 11:21 AM, Resident #63, in room [ROOM NUMBER], when asked if she had concerns with water temperature stated, Yes, it is hot. You have to turn the cold on and be careful. If you just turn the hot on, you better be ready. In an interview on 02/26/2020 at 11:38 AM, Resident #12, residing in room [ROOM NUMBER], stated, It's (water) damn hot, when asked about water temperature concerns. When asked why the resident thought the water was hot, Resident #12 stated, Well, when I put my hand under it, I couldn't hold it there. In an interview on 02/26/2020 at 11:29 AM, Resident #54, in room [ROOM NUMBER] stated, its hot (water), you have to do cold water with it. When asked how he determined the water was hot, the resident stated, I stuck my hand in it and said Oh[***] In an interview at 11:35 AM on 02/26/2020, Resident #45, in room [ROOM NUMBER], stated, It (water) tends to be rather warm. You have to be careful. I think it would take the hair off a pig. I would hesitate to let others here use it. When asked if she told staff about the hot water, the resident stated, No, I personally didn't (tell anyone) but they are aware it (hot water) happens. When asked about the showers, the resident stated, They are hot. They (staff) told me to be careful and temper it down. When asked how she knew it was hot, the resident stated because I use it. The fact that: 1. the facility failed to ensure water temperatures were below 120 degrees, 2. four cognitively intact residents had stated concerns about hot water. 3. five cognitively impaired residents were identified with the physical ability to have unsupervised access to water with unsafe temperatures. 4. According to the regulatory time and temperature relationship to serious burns, harm was likely. FALLS RESIDENT #42 According to the 11/07/2019 Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool), staff assessed Resident #42 as independent with toileting, and two person extensive physical assistance with personal hygiene. According to a 12/22/2019 accident report, Resident #42 was found on her knees in her room with the walker in front of her and her pants were down around her knees and shoes were untied. There was urine on the floor. The plan to prevent recurrence was, get her Velcro shoes and updated care plan to offer assistance with toileting after meals and at bedtime routinely. Observations on 02/26/2020 at 11:50 AM showed Resident #42 ambulating down the hall to the dining room. A sock was noted hanging out of the back heel of the left shoe. The shoes were noted to be laced, not Velcro. Review of the resident's care plan revealed no interventions regarding the use of Velcro shoes or toileting after meals and at bedtime. In an interview on 03/02/2020 at 10:35 AM, Staff C, Assistant Director of Nursing, reviewed the resident's CP and confirmed the interventions identified on the 12/22/2019 fall investigation were not, but should have been, care planed and implemented. RESIDENT #23 According to the 01/01/2020 5-day MDS, the resident was cognitively intact, had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. During an interview on 02/25/2020 at 12:25 PM, Resident #23 indicated he had fallen multiple times since admission. According a 02/14/2020 05:52 AM nurse's note, at approximately 5:30 AM the nurse heard Resident #23 yelling for help. Upon entering the room, Resident #23 was observed lying on his stomach on the floor near his sink. Resident #23 reported he was trying to go to the bathroom but didn't make it, and indicated he felt weak and his legs gave out. After being assisted back to bed Resident #23 .started to seize. When the .[MEDICAL CONDITION] activity stopped, he became unresponsive. He was still breathing but was non-responsive to sternal rub and voice commands. The resident's oxygen saturation (Sp02) dropped into the 60s. Oxygen was placed and the resident's Sp02 went up to the 80s. The medics were called and Resident #23 was transferred to the hospital. Review of the 02/14/2020 fall investigation showed on 02/14/2020 at 5:30 AM, the resident was heard calling for help and was found lying on his stomach by the sink. The resident's walker and wheelchair were noted to be tipped over next to the resident. In the section that asked if Resident taken to the hospital staff documented No, despite a progress note written within 22 minutes of the incident indicating the resident was transferred to the hospital. Under Predisposing Physiological Factors staff checked the boxes for Gait imbalance and History of self-transfer. The boxes next to Recent change in medication/new, recent change in condition, hypotensive and weakness/fainted, were left unchecked. Although, the resident reported he fell due to feeling weak and his legs giving out. Review of the February 2020 Medication Administration Record [REDACTED]. Nurses were also directed to Check to see what the previous wts have been. Review of the daily wts showed on 02/12/2020 Resident #23 weighed 255.8 lbs. On 02/13/2020 (the day prior to the fall) his wt was 263.4 lbs, showing a 7.6 pound wt gain in one day. Record review showed no indication the nurse identified the wt gain, assessed the resident and/or notified the physician as ordered. In an interview on 03/02/2020 at 10:10 AM, when asked if there was any indication that nursing identified the wt gain, assessed the resident, and notified the physician of the change Staff B, Director of Nursing, stated, No. Review of the 02/13/2020 Complete Blood Count (CBC) showed the resident's Red Bloods Cells were 3.24 (low), Hematocrit-26.2 (Low) and Hemoglobin-8.1 (H&H, low) showing the resident was anemic (a condition in which you don't have enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to the body's tissues, with common symptoms of feeling tired and weak). Additionally, review of the 02/13/2020 BMP (Basic Metabolic Panel) showed then resident had a BUN (blood urea nitrogen) of -55 (high), creatinine- 2.84 (high), GFR (glomerular filtration rate) - 23 (low), and potassium level of 6.0 (high). This showed [MEDICAL CONDITION] and high potassium, both which have common symptoms of weakness and fatigue. Review of the fall investigation showed facility staff failed to identify, assess, or consider how the resident's clinically complex medical conditions and the multiple changes on 02/13/2020 (change in diuretic, 7.6 lbs wt gain in 24 hours, [MEDICAL CONDITION] requiring IV iron sucrate, [MEDICAL CONDITION], and [MEDICAL CONDITION]) may have contributed to the resident's fall. Facility staff did not identify the correlation of the residents reported symptoms of weakness/fatigue and his [MEDICAL CONDITIONS] and [MEDICAL CONDITION], or consider that the sudden onset of shortness of breath and oxygen desaturation, after being laid in bed, may have been related to [MEDICAL CONDITION] given his recent change in diuretic therapy and 7.6 lb weight gain in 24 hours. According to a 02/14/2020 3:10 PM nurses note Resident #23 returned to the facility from the emergency room at 10:00 AM, with a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The investigation concluded that the resident makes poor decisions as he frequently self transfers, despite staff encouraging him to call for assistance. Plan was to educate and continue current plan of care. In an interview on 03/04/2020 at 8:42 AM, when asked if a fall investigation should include a record review to identify if the resident had any recent medication changes, a recent change in condition, or abnormal labs Staff C stated, Yes. When asked if the investigation identified on 02/13/2020 (the day before the fall) the resident had: new orders for diuretic therapy implemented; gained 7.6 lb in 24 hours; an elevated potassium level of 6.0; and an H&H of 8.1 & 26.2 Staff C stated, No. When asked if the fall was accurately and thoroughly investigated Staff C stated, No. REFERENCE: WAC 388-97-1060(3)(g)

F692G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two (#s 42 & 63) of four sample residents reviewed for nutrition, received adequate weight monitoring, to determine whether their nutritional status was stable. This failure led to unintended weight loss for Resident #42 who experienced significant weight loss in the absence of timely interventions. Findings included . FACILITY POLICY According to the facility Weight policy dated November 2012, guidelines for residents who may need to be weighed weekly include those residents who demonstrate slow trending of weight loss/gain, significant weight loss/gain of 5% in 30 days, 7.5 % in 90 days or 10% in 180 days. The policy specifies staff should re-weigh residents with, Any weight with a 5-lb (pound) variance is re-weighed within 24 hours. The policy directs, If a significant variance is actual after re-weigh, the nurse documents in the medical record, revises the care plan, refers to Nutritional Hydration Skin Committee and notifies the physician and resident/resident's authorized representative. These notifications are recorded in the nursing progress notes of the medical record. RESIDENT #42 According to the 02/27/2019 Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool) showed Resident #42 required supervision and setup for eating and weighed 191 lbs. The resident's eating abilities remained the same with weights of 192 lbs, 183 lbs, and 174 lbs respectively for the 05/20/2019, 08/10/2019 and 11/07/2019 Quarterly MDSs. The 01/28/2020 Annual MDS showed no change in eating abilities, but a weight of 163 lbs, which was identified as a 5% or more weight (wt) loss. Observation of the lunch meal on 03/02/2020 showed the resident ate less than 50% of the meal and was not served ice cream or whole milk as indicated on the tray card. Interview on 03/02/2020 at 7:51 AM Staff G, Dietary Service Manager, stated the weight and skin (W & S) committee meet once a week for reasons including, if someone has wounds or is losing weight or gaining weight or [MEDICAL TREATMENT], anything they deem appropriate. Staff G explained that medical records ran the weight records and provided them to the RCM (Resident Care Manager) who determined if the resident required review by the W & S committee. Review of weight records showed the resident was assessed on 12/08/2018 to weigh 197 lbs, on 04/01/2019 to weigh 192.2 lbs and on 06/27/2019 to weight 183.2 lbs. A 05/13/2019 Nutrition Note identified the most recent weight was 04/01/2019 and the Registered Dietician (RD) documented, weight changes past 6 months not significant, po (oral intake) is adequate to prevent weight loss, request current weight. A 06/27/2019 NHSC (Nutrition Hydration Skin Committee) note showed, Res reviewed for weight loss .Weight loss is not significant. Resident usually refuses weights. Weight loss r/t (related to) normal fluctuations .no supplementation 76-100% (of meal intake) most of the time .Continue with POC (Plan of Care.) Review of meal intake monitors showed the resident ate less than 50% (including refusals) for 21 of the 90 meals offered in June 2019. A quarterly RD nutrition note dated 07/29/2019 reflected, wt 6/27/2019 183.2 weight changes past 6 months not significant, po is adequate to prevent weight loss, request current weight. There were no weights obtained for Resident #42 for almost three months from 06/27/2019 to 09/19/2019 when the resident was assessed to weight 170.9 lbs, a loss of 12 lbs / a 6.7% wt loss. There was no documentation in the record the facility identified the significant delay in obtaining weights, or acted to obtain said weights. There was no indication facility staff provided a reweight after any five pound deviation was noted, as directed in the policy. A 09/26/2019 NHSC note showed weight 9/19 170.9 weight loss r/t past UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) and poor tolerance to care and food. Appetite has improved. No change at this time to be made .76-100% po intake . According to meal intake records, the resident ate less than 50% (including refusals and missing documentation) of 28 of the 87 meals offered in September 2019. A nutritional RD evaluation dated 09/30/2019 identified the previous weight as 183.2 lbs on 06/27/2019 and showed current, weight 09/26/2019 174.8 # was on ABT (antibiotic therapy) for UTI. Resident was out of the facility 09/19/2019 and returned on 09/20/2019 abnormal bleeding, resident was refusing care .has a confirmed UTI and is on antibiotics to treat. PO intake is still good per her norm. The listed goal was, no significant unplanned weight changes but offered no interventions to stem the identified weight loss of nine lbs from June 2019 to September 2019. The note failed to identify how, if the oral intake was good, why the resident continued to evidence steady weight loss. Weight records showed that on 10/15/2019 the resident weighed 174.1 lbs. There were no further weights obtained for two months from 10/15.20/19 to 12/10/2019 when the resident was assessed to weigh 162.4 lbs, another 12 lbs / 6.72 % weight loss. There was no documentation in the record the facility identified the significant delay in obtaining weights, or acted to obtain said weights.

RESIDENT #55 & #9 As a result of the facility's failure to implement the facility abuse prohibition procedure including prevention, reporting, investigation, and development of a plan to protect residents, a resident to resident altercation between Resident #55 and Resident #9 occurred on 12/05/17 at 12:00 p.m. RESIDENT #9 According to investigative documents, on 12/05/17 at 12:00 p.m. Resident #9 was holding her stuffed animal in the dining room when Resident #55 wanted the stuffed animal and told Resident #9 that she was going to have her two sons kill her.

On 12/05/17 at 3:05 p.m. Resident #55 was observed self propelling in a wheelchair (w/c) up the hallway by the facility entrance. No staff were observed in line of sight of the resident. STAFF INTERVIEWS In an interview on 12/06/17 at 11:28 a.m., Staff V (LPN) stated she had worked at the facility for six years. When asked about any residents who wander into other residents' rooms, Staff V immediately stated, Oh yes, like that, (Resident #55), and (Resident #52), he does that a lot (go into other peoples rooms). I don't work on the other end that frequently. When asked about Resident #55's behaviors, Staff V stated, She slowly goes the hall and we all just keep an eye on her, she'll poke her head into the room. When asked if Resident #55 ever had altercations, Staff V stated, Yes, for some reason her and (Resident #8 ) are magnetic to each other, it's just like he is on her radar. When asked if she (Resident #55 ) went into his room, Staff V stated, Yes, a few times, including last night on night shift. They're on alert (charting). Staff V stated, We try to stop her (Resident #55) when she comes down here, I think it might be because she likes to look out that window, not just because of him (Resident #8). When asked if she was aware of, two horny old women? Staff V replied, (Resident #8) does always think women are after him and (Resident #35) does like men and she does try to pat their knee or elbow but not (Resident #55). When asked if any other residents went into Resident #8's room, Staff V stated, Oh yes, (Resident #35). She also likes to go into (Resident #47's) room. There was a gentleman who she knew who was in that room. I know (Resident #47) gets upset with her when she goes into his room. Staff V elaborated, (Resident #52) sometimes has issues with other residents . but indicated there had been no physical altercations stating, No he's harmless they'll just say hey he's in my room and we take him out . Staff did not identify Resident#52's persistent and trendable wandering behaviors as intrusive for other residents, or that it placed him at risk for assault. In an interview on 12/06/17 11:19 a.m., when asked about any residents who demonstrated wandering behaviors, Staff T (CNA) stated, Yeah, (Resident #55) and (Resident #52), I am thinking (Resident #35) sometimes she wanders too. When asked what the wandering behavior looked like. Staff T stated, They don't know where they are, they go in other rooms, yeah especially (Resident #55), that's why they put up that sign (gesturing toward the Velcro Stop sign on Resident #8's room). She wanders in her w/c. When asked how often Resident #35 demonstrated this behavior Staff T stated, Oh very often. Sometimes we have to get her back to her room when we notice that's she's been around that way. Staff T indicated that the resident's wandering was a problem because, .other people (residents), sometimes they are mad (about Resident #35 coming into their rooms), when we see her doing that we take her to the 100 hall. When asked if Resident #55 ever got into altercations with other residents, Staff T stated, Yelling, yes that is pretty common. Sometimes there is a one on one (1:1) watch on her. When asked how frequently Resident #55 received 1:1 supervision, Staff T stated, I really don't know. There is a hospitality aide who does that .sometimes she hits other residents that's why they watch her. When asked if Resident #35 had physical altercations with other residents, Staff T stated, Not as much, she don't hit, she just loves to go inside rooms. You tell her, (Resident #35), that's not your room. (Resident #52) does that (goes into other residents rooms) sometimes too. I tell 'em, You got to go back to your room or else they (other residents) get mad at you. In an interview on 12/06/17 at 11:19 a.m. Staff K (Housekeeping Manager) said in the morning meeting she had been told that Resident #55 went into a gentleman's room on the 500 hall .December 4th, the night before last. When asked what she had been directed to do, Staff K said If we see her (Resident #55) tootiling down that way we redirect her the other way. She's always active, likes to roam the hallways just try to redirect her away from him the best we can. In an interview 12/06/17 at 11:26 a.m. when asked if there were any rooms which Resident #55 targeted, Staff H (Registered Nursing Assistant - RNA) replied, Yes. That would be on 500, (Resident #8). When asked why, Staff H said She has a sensor or something, she says her car is down there, looks out the window, we go get something and she's in (Resident #8's) room. When asked what his reaction was, Staff H said he tells her to get out and screams at her. When I hear the F bomb I try to get there as fast as I can. In an interview 12/06/17 at 11:26 a.m. when asked what she does in regards to Resident #55's wandering behavior, Staff H said I'll ask if she wants snacks or to go to an activity. Staff H said she intervened about four or five times a day with her. She thinks she's going to say Hi to everyone. When asked how the other residents reacted, Staff H said some will communicate with her, some will get verbally aggressive. When asked if verbally aggressive what action was taken, Staff H said We interfere and redirect her out of their room, calm them down and provide care. In an interview on 12/06/17 at 11:36 a.m. Staff I (NAC) said she tries to keep Resident #55 away from 500 hall gentleman she's had an altercation with. In addition, Staff I said Resident #55 is on one on one right now, but previously she would, keep eye on, redirect .She goes into room [ROOM NUMBER] sometimes, they say get her out of here. In an interview on 12/06/17 at 11:32 a.m. when asked what residents wandered Staff F (LPN) stated, There's a few, (Resident #35, Resident #55, and Resident #52) .Resident #52 goes into others' rooms but he does nothing, he is usually looking for a bathroom and Resident #55 she usually goes in (other resident rooms) and then comes out. Resident #55 and #52 usually do it at night so I am unsure of the frequency. When asked what she had been instructed to do when a resident wandered into someone else's room, Staff F stated, We just redirect, they are usually easily redirected .Resident #55 can get mouthy but we just redirect her. When asked what staff were instructed to do if there was a verbal altercation between residents, Staff F stated, Remove the resident from the situation .usually that will fix it, if they are still yelling down the hallway (at each other) maybe take them to an activity so they don't focus on that .the whole out of sight out of mind thing. When asked if there was anything else that should be done?, Staff F stated, Not that I can think of. In an interview on 12/06/17 at 11:47 a.m. when asked if there were any residents with behaviors who wandered into other's rooms Staff G (Registered Nurse - RN) identified Resident #55, #52 and #33. Staff G stated, (Resident #55) she tries to go into rooms but I bring her back away from the door .we have stop signs but she just takes them off . RESIDENT INTERVIEWS RESIDENT #3 In an interview on 12/06/17 at 9:19 a.m. when asked if other residents wander into her room Resident #3 stated, Yes, it is a female named (Resident #55), she comes in and always wants to get out the window .she wants to find a way to escape .I tell her it is locked so she cant get out .she wants to go home, it doesn't bother me, but I know she scares my roommate. RESIDENT#19 In an interview on 12/08/17 at 9:01 a.m. Resident #19 indicated Resident #55 often wandered into his room. Resident #19 said that about a week ago, Resident #55 was in her w/c, wandering down the hall. If your room door were open, she would just come in. According to Resident #19, there have been a few times where she has actually threatened to hit me, but you always know if she going to hit you, because she will say POW but she didn't actually hit me. She has dementia, so I just ignore her and tell her this is not her room and then nurses will usually come and get her. RESIDENT #66 In an interview at approximately 9:00 a.m. on 12/06/17, Resident #66 stated, Well (Resident #52), he usually starts wandering if he has to go to the bathroom .he came in (my room) and peeked around the corner, he was looking for the bathroom. He really should be one on one. (Resident #52) comes in, (Resident #35) does too. I call her (Resident #35) Magpie. She takes shiny things. She's taken my tweezers. They (staff) are vigilant with (Resident #35) 'cuz they know she does things. There are three or four (residents who wander into others rooms). She doesn't realize she's doing it, she is harmless. Once (Resident #35) got in my room and closed the door. (Resident #52) gets up all the time. It's hard to keep an eye on him. Resident #66 elaborated, There are a couple of horny little old ladies. Some of them that talk to the guys, they don't talk to me. I think (Resident #35) is one of them. Because I am a girl they don't bother me . When asked what she meant by horny, Resident #66 stated, They talk to the fell ows all the time .you just can't park 'em next to a guy. They'll put their hand on 'em and say things I know some of the men don't like them because of what they say . RESIDENTS #17 & 123 In an interview on 12/06/17 at 9:18 a.m., when asked if any other residents came into their room, Resident #17 stated, A male resident comes into my room. I call, press the button and someone will come. A nurse came by and took him away. Resident #123 added, There was another time the same man wanted to go to the bathroom (in our bathroom). A nurse came and said, That is not your bathroom you need to go to your own room. Last week there was an elderly woman who walked into my room. There were no problems, but you never know what they are doing or what they can do, because I don't know them. The door is always open and they walk in. It was just for a few minutes, and then they got caught. RESIDENT #121 In an interview on 12/06/17 at 9:23 a.m., Resident #121 stated, There is a little lady, bright as a button who comes in (my room).

He scared the crap out of me. They didn't tell me they had (residents with) Alzheimers here . I guess he does it (goes into other resident rooms) all the time. I know who he is .they (staff) knew who he was. He thinks he knows me. He says, you don't belong here. He just kinda grunted at me, I was hollering, Come and help me! I don't think he's dangerous, it just scared me bad with him standing there. Resident #127, who shared Resident #126's room stated,They don't bother me, I am over in the corner. RESIDENT #129 In an interview on the morning of 12/06/17, Resident #129 stated, Yes, when I was here at first across from the nurses station, several times a man in a w/c came in (my room). I didn't feel threatened. He couldn't really maneuver his chair around. It happened about three times. RESIDENT #16 In an interview on 12/04/17 at 8:10 a.m. Resident #16 recalled that the night prior a resident had come into her room, and told me this was her home, her bed and she said she was going to take me out of my bed. She scared me. When asked what staff had done, Resident #16 said, They were watching her. They put that stop thing up there. The stop sign was observed velcroed across the resident's doorway. On 12/05/17 at 1:15 p.m. Resident #16 was observed eating lunch in her room. The Velcro stop sign was down. On 12/06/17 at 8:33 a.m. staff were observed passing breakfast room trays. The staff did not ensure the stop signs in the 200 hall were secure prior to leaving the area. The sign was observed down across Resident #16's doorway and for room [ROOM NUMBER]. On 12/06/17 at 11:24 a.m. two residents were in Resident #16's room and the stop sign was down. On 12/07/17 at 10:28 a.m. Resident #16 was observed in the hallway waiting to go out to smoke. The Velcro stop sign was down. A staff walked by the room and was observed to put the sign back up across the resident's doorway. RESIDENT #22 In an interview on 12/06/17 at 7:43 a.m. when asked about staff's response to residents who wander into her room, Resident #22 said We push our button and they come and get her. After they take her out they keep a closer eye on her so she doesn't come back in .she could intimidate others really easy. Resident #22 recalled staff put the stop sign up a week and a half ago, maybe two. Review of the resident's record revealed no documentation of any similar incident, and no documentation or Care Plan (CP) intervention indicating when the stop sign had been put up. On 12/06/17 at 8:33 a.m. Staff F was observed to put the sign back up across room [ROOM NUMBER] (Resident #22 & 50). RESIDENT #50 In an interview on 12/06/17 at 7:52 a.m. when asked what staff were doing to prevent residents from wandering into her room, Resident #50 replied, they take her out and there's a sign on the door that says stop. Review of Resident #50's record revealed a 10/04/17 CP which was initiated in 2015 Resident requesting Stop mesh banner at door. The listed goal was prevent wandering residents from entering room. Interventions included Staff to alert social services if Stop banner is not working and Use Stop barrier banner sign at door. On 12/06/17 at 8:33 a.m. Staff F was observed to put the sign back up across room [ROOM NUMBER] (Resident #22 & 50). RESIDENT #24 In an interview on 12/06/17 at 8:03 a.m. Resident #24 said There's a couple of older women who stroll around. There is one woman who thinks this is her room, she did it a few times and I complained and they said they could fix that and put a stop sign up .I don't like someone coming in when I'm not quite dressed. Review of the resident's record revealed a 05/22/17 progress note, Met with resident regarding incident where other resident wandered into her room. She states the other resident entered her room in wheelchair and thought that the belongings there (items in the room) belonged to her. Resident requested that a mesh stop sign be put on her door to prevent wandering residents from entering her room. There was no documented monitoring to determine if the stop sign was effective. On 12/06/17 at 11:24 a.m. Resident #24 & 53 were in the room and the stop sign was down. Similar observations were noted on 12/11/17 at 7:47 a.m. RESIDENT #53 In an interview on 12/06/17 at 8:10 a.m. Resident #53 said, There's a gentleman here who all three woman, (Resident #35, #55, and #22) have all gone into his room and try to climb into bed with him, at least that's what he said. When asked about the stop sign across the doorway, Resident #53 said It was put there because we were having people come into our room that didn't need to be in here. When asked what else staff do to prevent residents from wandering into the room, Resident #53 said The staff, if they come in here, the staff comes and takes them out., They had been doing one on one, they're not now that I know of, I haven't seen them doing one on one lately. Review of Resident #53's 12/06/17 CP revealed the resident was legally blind, but did not address the use of a stop sign or interventions to protect the resident from residents wandering into her room. On 12/06/17 at 11:24 a.m. Resident #24 & 53 were in the room and the stop sign was down. Similar observations were noted on 12/11/17 at 7:47 a.m. RESIDENT #47 Resident #47 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. During an interview on 12/04/17 at 1:29 p.m., when asked if anyone had abused him, Resident #47 stated yes, that foul mouth old Bit@h named (Resident #35). She sneaks in my room and I don't want her to touch me. I've told the folks that work here I don't like her coming in my room, besides they all know about her she's got a foul mouth. A review of Resident#47's CP dated 04/21/17 revealed, staff would provide the resident with a mesh stop sign to deter wandering residents from entering the residents' room. Several observations were made of the resident's door without the mesh sign in place. On 12/07/17 at 12:44 p.m., there was no mesh stop sign across the resident's door to keep wanderers out of the resident's room. On 12/08/17 at 11:00 a.m., the resident was observed sitting in wheel chair in his room with no mesh stop sign across the door way. On 12/11/17 at 8:26 a.m., Resident #47 was observed sitting in his room eating breakfast with no mesh stop sign in place. In an interview on 12/08/17 at 11:25 a.m., Resident #47 stated no they don't have a mesh stop sign across the door cause as soon as the staff put it up there she comes along and tears it down faster than they can put it up. According to Resident #47 the sign was behind the blue laundry cart parked near his room. The facility response of putting up stop signs in an attempt to deter residents from wandering into other residents' room was ineffective. The facility failed to evaluate the intervention and implement further protective measures. RESIDENT #35 The facility failed to identify Resident #35's assaultive behaviors as placing residents in the facility at risk of abuse and implement preventative measures. According to the 07/14/17 Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool) Resident #35 was assessed as having clear speech, able to be understood and usually understand conversation. The resident was assessed with [REDACTED]. The resident experienced no hallucinations, no delusions, staff assessed the resident had physical behavioral symptoms directed toward others (e.g. hitting, kicking, punching, scratching, grabbing, abusing other sexually) on 1-3 days of the assessment period; verbal behavioral symptoms directed toward others (e.g. threatening others, screaming at others, cursing at others) on 1-3 days of the lookback period; and demonstrated wandering on 1-3 days of the lookback. However, staff determined these behaviors did not put the resident at significant risk for physical illness or injury, significantly interfere with the resident's care or interfere with the resident's participation in activities or social interactions. According to the Quarterly MDS dated [DATE], Resident #35 was assessed with [REDACTED]. While staff continued to indicate the resident did not put others at significant risk for physical injury or significantly disrupt care or living environment, the staff did indicate the resident's behavior did significantly intrude on the privacy or activities of others. INCIDENT OF 06/22/17 According to an investigation dated 06/22/17 Service worker was in office and heard some swearing and name calling. She came out of her office and separated the two who were yelling, and brought this rsd (resident) back down to nurses station. The statement by (Resident #35) was, She said somethin' I didn't like, and I hit her. According to the investigation; there was no witness. but SS (Social Services - Staff E) intercepted the incident. It further indicated, Social worker (SW) heard cursing and yelling between (Resident #35) and another resident. SW immediately came out of her office into the hallway and separated residents. (Resident #35) stated, She said something I didn't like so I hit her. (Resident #35) indicated the other resident hit her on her left forearm, area was assessed and there was no visible injury .Staff were inserviced to attempt to keep them separated. There have not been any previous incidents between the two residents. The investigation indicated, Mental health to see today. Staff were inserviced on the incident between the two and to attempt to keep them separated. The two reside on separate wings of the building. The investigation indicated, hallway as the location but didn't specify that while the residents reside on different units, they still came in contact in the hallway. Facility staff failed to consider Resident #35's behavioral impact, not just on the resident in question, but other residents in the facility. According to a 09/10/17 incident report, Resident #35 was witnessed to slap Resident #8, in his room no injury noted Resident (#8) did say later that (Resident #35) kicked him in the leg. Offered to get his leg x-rayed but resident refused, no witness to resident being kicked by female resident . Staff documented, The two residents were immediately separated and there has not been previous incidents between the two residents. Again, staff failed to consider Resident #35's assaultive behaviors as potentially impacting all residents in the facility and implement preventative measures. INCIDENT OF 10/25/17 According to investigative documents dated 10/25/17 a resident to resident interaction between Resident #35 and Resident #7 occurred. Staff documented, Rsd (Resident) was upset about another resident yelling out. She then told other rsd to shut up and threw her water at her. According to the resident's statement on 10/27/17, I told her to shut up. The investigation indicated, Resident was sitting at nurses station one and another resident was talking loudly and (Resident #35) told her to shut up and threw water on her. The residents were immediately separated and monitored for psych harm. This investigation referenced a resident to resident altercation on 09/10/17. Facility staff recommended attempt to keep (Resident #35) in a quiet environment. She gets agitated with too much stimuli. Mental health to reevaluate on 10/31/17 and repeat labs to be drawn on 11/05/17. Staff educated to attempt to keep (Resident #7) and (Resident #35) away from each other as much as possible. Staff again failed to consider how keeping Resident #35 away from previous victims would be effective to prevent subsequent assaults on others. RESIDENT #8 AND 55 According to an incident investigation dated 07/12/17, Another resident and his family made a concern stating that Resident #55 had gone into his room and observed him urinating .Resident #55 does have a history of self-propelling around facility although normally keeps to herself. A subsequent psychiatry note dated 07/25/17 indicated Resident #8 had a recent increase in anxiety episodes, may be related to another resident coming into his room. While the psychiatrist clearly identified Resident #8's behaviors/mental health were negatively impacted by the intrusion of another resident entering his room, facility staff failed to identify and prevent repeat occurrences. Facility staff again, subsequently referred Resident #8 to Mental Health. On 10/17/17 the psychiatrist documented, asked to follow up due to episodes of agitation and continued delusions, he feels there are residents here who are after him sexually----which may be partially true per staff . The resident's antipsychotic was subsequently increased. According to investigative documents dated 12/04/17, At approximately at 1930-2000 (Resident #8) was heard yelling get out of here and Resident #55 was heard yelling I just want to talk to you. Resident #8 at the time stated, I swung at her because I didn't know who was behind me. Based on the presence of observed resident to resident altercations, as well as stated awareness of these behaviors by both staff and residents, the facility did not evaluate the effectiveness of current interventions (redirection after the fact) and staff did not provide interventions to assure the safety of residents. Redirection alone is not a sufficiently protective response to a resident who will not be deterred from targeting other residents for abuse once he/she has been redirected. The facility did not provide sufficient protection to prevent resident to resident abuse. Also,the facility failed to consider resident to resident abuse could involve a resident who has had no prior history of aggressive behaviors, since a resident's behavior could quickly escalate into an instance of abuse. For example, a resident pushes away or strikes another resident who is rummaging through his/her possessions. RESIDENT #28 The facility failed to identify an allegation of abuse and/or neglect, and failed to protect the resident pending investigation. Resident #28 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. A review of the 30 day MDS dated [DATE] revealed the resident had multiple medical [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. In an interview on 12/04/17 at 10:49 a.m., Resident #28 said she was upset because she had an accident w (TRUNCATED)

F610K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to timely investigate allegations of abuse, neglect, resident to resident altercations, and trendable intrusive behaviors as potential abuse. Failure to thoroughly investigate detracted from the facility's ability to prevent further repeated and potential abuse for multiple residents including, but not limited to Residents #s 8, 55, 52, 61, 33, 28, 47, 16, 53, 35 & 7. This failure resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) related to investigation of abuse on 12/06/17. The facility interviewed all residents in the facility, initiated investigations of all alleged abuse, and provided training to all staff, which led to the removal of the IJ on 12/06/17.

RESIDENT #8 Observations during medication pass on 12/05/17 at 11:56 a.m. revealed Staff S (Licensed Practical Nurse - LPN) pass medication to Resident #8. At this time, the resident reported a bruise to the resident's right hand was caused by Resident #55. Resident #8 stated, I got this (bruise to right hand) from (Resident #55), she came in during the Auburn football game yesterday and I told her to get the hell out . Staff S at this time indicated Resident #55 comes in to other residents' rooms and that's why there is a stop sign on (Resident #8's) door. She's (Resident #55) down on the other end. As of 12/06/17, no progress note, subsequent investigation regarding the bruising, or the resident's allegation was initiated. Further review of Resident #8's record revealed, progress notes dated 10/21/17 indicated rsd (resident) was very upset for unknown reasons and was swearing obscenities towards resident and his wife. This carried on for awhile. PT (Physical Therapy) was in the room and witnessed the event. Family of bed A requested to move rooms as they felt uncomfortable with rsds behaviors. Review of the abuse log revealed no indication staff acknowledged or investigated a resident to resident incident of verbal abuse. In addition, progress notes dated 11/29/17 indicated, On 11/26/17 I was at the nursing station when I saw (Resident #52) coming out of room [ROOM NUMBER] and was going to get his w/c (wheelchair) and redirect him when (Resident #8) came out of his room and started yelling, he came in my room and hit me keep him out of my room. While staff documented, (Resident #8) and (Resident #52) were never close to each other, there was no evidence to support this. Review of the incident log revealed this allegation was never investigated to determine when Resident #8 alleged he was hit, where it took place and if staff were present at the time. RESIDENT ALTERCATION #8 AND #55 According to an investigation document, an alleged incident between Resident #8 and #55 occurred on 07/12/17 at 8:30 p.m. However, the incident report/investigation was not initiated until 07/13/17 at 3:00 p.m. when the residents' families were notified. The physician was not notified of the incident until 5:00 p.m. on 07/13/17. The Resident statement of what happened (documented as obtained on 07/14/17) indicated, Resident stated that another resident entered his room and pulled the curtain back and saw him urinating. Staff documented on 07/18/17 at 4:28 p.m. Another resident (Resident #8) and his family made a concern stating that (Resident #55) had gone into his room and observed him urinating. Staff recommendations included Offer (Resident #8) to move rooms to an area with less traffic and currently no roommate. Continue with stop banner in place. Continuous staff education about redirecting Resident #55 when she self propels down to five hundred hall.

This failure placed residents at risk for further abuse. RESIDENT #33 Resident #33 admitted to the facility on [DATE] with care needs related to dementia.

In an interview on 12/29/14 at 1:30 p.m. with Staff A and Staff B, Staff A indicated the resident was discovered in a low "bed that was too close to the heater", with a facility bedspread between his legs and the heater. The bedspread had melted "which caused his burns." The burns were to both knees, reported as third degree burns. (Third-degree burns penetrate the entire thickness of the skin.) In an interview on 12/30/14 at 9:23 a.m. a Social Worker at the hospital said the facility had been called and a staff nurse told the Social Worker that she reportedly walked by the resident's room, smelled burning flesh and found the resident in a low bed with his knees against the baseboard heater. In an interview on 12/30/14 at 10:00 a.m. another hospital Social Worker said the resident was admitted on [DATE] due to "full thickness burns, to 2% of his total body surface area", and was receiving treatments including cleaning, wound debridement and dressing changes with Silver Sulfadiazine. According to the Social Worker, the resident was a surgical candidate, but the family declined as the resident was on comfort care. Review of the facility's July 2008 Baseboard Heater Protocol revealed "Baseboard heaters are checked before use, at the onset of cold weather season". It directed the "MS (Maintenance Supervisor) performs random checks no less than daily in the following manner: MS places his/her hand on the outside of the unit. If the baseboard heater is too hot to touch, the MS verifies the actual temperature by using a Laser Thermometer and recording the temperature in degrees F(Fahrenheit - dF) on the Baseboard Heater Audit Map by room number and date. If the temperature is equal to or greater than 150 dF, the MS immediately provides for the safety of the resident by turning off the heater... Once a week the MS tests the temperatures of all baseboard heaters by use of a Laser Thermometer and documents temperature on the Baseboard Heater Audit Map, by room number and date. All Audit forms and maps are kept in the Maintenance Log." The facility policy failed to include actions to reduce resident exposure to the hot surfaces if they were not identified in the audits. In an interview on 12/29/14 at 1:30 p.m., Staff A indicated only the 500 Hall was on electric baseboard heaters. The rest of the building was on hydroponic boil heat. Following the incident, Resident #1's room's baseboard heater surface temperature measured 155 dF. Staff A said the breaker had since been shut off and the facility was monitoring the surface temperatures of the other baseboard heaters on the 500 Hall. In an interview on 12/29/14 at 3:12 p.m. the Maintenance Supervisor, Staff C, said prior to the incident he checked the baseboard heaters daily to ensure they were clean and working. Staff C denied monitoring the actual temperatures of the baseboard heaters or documenting on the Baseboard Heater Audit Map according to facility policy. Staff C was unable to identify what temperature reading, if any, would not be safe. Staff A acknowledged Staff C monitored that the baseboards worked, but not if they were safe. On 12/29/14 the baseboards in the resident rooms on the 500 Hall were measured using a Laser Thermometer and the following was noted: At 2:05 p.m. the Room 515 baseboard surface temperature measured 132 dF. A fall mat was observed to be placed less than five inches from the heater and two felt-like blankets were leaning against the right end of the heater. Staff B went into the room and reported the fall mat had been placed under the nightstand to keep it in place, 1 foot to 14 inches from the heater. In Room 522 the room control was set at 70 dF. The baseboard surface was hot to touch and the temperature measured 128-132 dF and appeared to be missing the front safety screen. Staff A indicated that was one of the "new" baseboard heaters, which was intact, but did not provide the same protective screens as the other units. In Room 520 heat was felt radiating from the baseboard and the surface measured at 135 dF. According to facility provided audits, the baseboard heater surface in Room 504 measured 136 dF on 12/28/14 at 8:00 a.m. and Room 516 measured 135 dF on 12/28/14 at 1800. The facility did not have a system in place to monitor, assess and supervise the risk factors for residents who resided in beds that were located next to the baseboard heaters. In addition, the facility did not develop and implement a procedure to reduce resident exposure and prevent possible burns which could occur from extended periods of direct skin contact. .

Inspection of October 25, 2011

2 findings
F312G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to provide services to dependent residents who required assistance for Activities of Daily Living. Failure to provide assistance with toileting, nail care, removal of facial hair, oral care, and/or personal hygiene for 12 (Resident #s 5, 3, 54, 55, 1, 56, 19, 104, 36, 9, 24, and 96) of 14 sample residents and five (#22, 49, 32, 69 and 48) of six supplemental residents reviewed who were dependent on staff for care caused inadequate hygiene, and could reasonably be expected to cause anxiety, and feelings of being ignored and not valued. These failures also placed residents at risk for body odor, skin breakdown, and a diminished quality of life. In addition, failure to provide nail care for Resident #32 caused physical pain. Findings include: Refer to CFR 483.15(a), F-241 Dignity PROVISION OF CARE RESIDENT #5 Resident #5 had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The ADL (Activities of Daily Living) Function care plan (CP), dated 10/05/11, indicated staff should "toilet resident, lay her down ... after meals". The Potential for Alteration in Elimination CP, dated 10/05/11, revealed staff should check and change the resident every two hours and as needed, due to incontinence of her bowel and bladder. On 10/04/11 at 2:00 p.m., Resident #5 was observed with multiple, curly, white hairs on her chin, approximately ? inch long. On 10/06/11 at 2:25 p.m., Resident #5 was observed sitting on the edge of her bed, calling out, "Help me." She had dark matter in her teeth, along her gumline, and multiple lengthy facial hairs. Resident #5 was asked what she needed and she replied she needed to go to the bathroom. The call light was placed on, and at 2:27 p.m. Staff O entered the resident's room. Staff O was informed that the resident had asked to go to the bathroom. Staff O laid the resident back in bed, and told her, "I'll be right back." Staff O left the room. At 2:37 p.m., she returned, and with the help of a second certified nurse's aide (CNA), proceeded to put the resident in her wheelchair and placed her in the hallway, without toileting the resident. From 2:37 p.m. until 2:47 p.m., Resident #5 propelled her wheelchair around the hallway. Several staff members redirected her out of other resident's room, but none offered assistance. At 2:47 p.m., the resident was observed picking at her teeth with her finger. She ran her tongue around her gumline, and stated, "This is bothersome." At 2:49 p.m., the resident cried out, "I need to go potty." At 2:50 p.m., Staff N, licensed nurse (LN), was informed that the resident had requested to go to the bathroom [ROOM NUMBER] minutes prior, had not been assisted, and continued to ask. Resident #5 was not assisted to the bathroom until 2:53 p.m. On 10/07/11, the resident was in the dining room for breakfast by 7:35 a.m. At 8:54 a.m., she was removed from the dining room and placed in the hallway, across from the nurse's station. Between 8:55 a.m. and 9:56 a.m., the resident propelled her wheelchair from the nurse's station to the dining room and down another hallway. Staff periodically propelled the resident back to the nurse's station, but no offers to lay the resident down or to toilet her were made. At 9:56 a.m. Resident #5 was observed in her room, propelling her wheelchair around her bed. The bed had been placed in a high position, which Staff Q, CNA, stated had been done to prevent the resident from self transferring. The resident continued to propel around her bed and said, "Help me." Staff R, LN, told Staff Q, "She may want to lay down." Staff Q removed the resident from her room and placed her in the hallway near the dining room, without offering to lay her down or toilet her. The resident continued to call out, "Help me", as she propelled through the hallway. At 10:02 a.m., Resident #5 stated, "I have to go potty." An off-duty staff member walking by propelled the resident to the hallway facing her room, stated, "There you go" and walked away. Resident #5 continued to call out, "Help me". The resident was finally assisted to the bathroom at 10:15 a.m., after the Dietary Manager informed a CNA of the resident's repeated requests. On 10/10/11, the resident was in the dining room for breakfast by 7:30 a.m. At 9:15 a.m. the resident was taken from the dining room directly to an alcove next to the nurse's station, where several residents were watching a movie. Resident #5, who was placed with a resident behind her and another next to her, blocking her way, stated, "I wonder if I can get through. I need to go potty." Resident #5 attempted to turn her wheelchair around for several minutes, bumping into the residents around her. At 9:21 a.m., a CNA walked past and assisted Resident #5 out of the alcove, but did not offer to toilet or lie her down. Resident #5 propelled herself towards her room. At 9:27 a.m. Staff K, LN, asked Resident #5 to to wait in the hallway so she could administer medication, but did not offer to toilet or lie her down. Later observation at 10:51 a.m. revealed Resident #5 propelled herself past the nurse's station at the opposite end of the building from where she resided. She was redirected out of other resident's rooms, however was not assisted to the wing of the building in which she lived, or offered or provided any care. At 11:10 a.m. Resident #5 stated she was tired and would like to go to bed. Staff J was alerted to the resident's request, and he stated he would assist her. On 10/11/10 at 9:00 a.m., the resident was observed with multiple, long, white curly hairs on her chin. When asked by the surveyor if she would like her chin whiskers shaved, she stroked her chin, smiled and said, "Oh, yes. That would be good." Staff K, LN, was informed of the request, but did not assist the resident or inform her CNA to provide grooming assistance at that time. On 10/11/11 at 10:45 a.m., the Director of Nursing Services (DNS) was informed of multiple days of the resident not being toileted on schedule or when she requested assistance, as well as the lack of personal hygiene care. The DNS stated the resident was to be toileted and laid down after each meal, and she was unaware it had not been occurring. She also stated women's facial hair should be removed as needed. RESIDENT #3 Resident #3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with care needs that required the use of a mobility restricting brace. According to the 9/16/11 MDS, the resident was totally dependent on two staff for bed mobility and toilet use. Additionally, staff assessed the resident with no cognitive impairments, able to understand others and be understood in communication. In an interview at 9:49 a.m., Resident #3 was observed lying in bed, which had no fitted sheet. The resident, who was visibly annoyed, stated she was waiting to be "cleaned up" because she "had to go but no one came to help me so I had to wet myself." The resident indicated she had used her call light, but staff had not responded in time, and she was now waiting for staff to assist her. GROOMING/HYGIENE According to the facility "Standards of Care", "Every resident, regardless of functional and cognitive ability will be dressed, clean and well groomed every day. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the CNAs on each shift to make sure that: Each resident has clean hands and a clean face before and after meals," "each resident will be shaved daily," "Nail & Toenail care is done daily and at bath time by Bath aid unless resident is diabetic. Licensed Nurse will provide Toenail care for Diabetics," and "Each resident has a bath/shower per schedule." RESIDENT #54 According to the 9/11/11 MDS, Resident #54 was assessed as totally dependant on two staff for activities of daily living, understood and able to understand in communication. In an interview on 10/05/11 at 2:34 p.m., Resident #54 stated he did not participate in choosing his bathing schedule and this was not acceptable stating, "I am overdue for a bath...I think they need a few more (people to help do baths)." Observations on 10/05/11 at 2:15 p.m. revealed the resident had hair which was oily with copious white flakes. Review of Resident #54's bathing schedule revealed the resident did not receive a bath for 20 days from 9/16/11 to 10/06/11. There was no evidence facility staff were aware of the extended period without bathing or attempted to accommodate the resident's needs. RESIDENT #1 Resident #1 had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The ADL function CP, dated 9/14/11, revealed the resident was totally dependent on staff for bathing. Observation on 10/05/11 at 9:34 a.m. revealed the resident to have coarse facial hair, long nasal hair protruding from his nostrils, food debris in the stubble around his mouth, and his hair and scalp appeared unclean with copious amounts of dead flaky skin. Review of Shower/Bath sheets revealed the resident was last showered on September 22, 13 days prior. Further review revealed the resident received a shower every nine to twelve days between June 4 and October 5, 2011. Similar findings for Resident #56 for whom review of the Shower/Bath sheet revealed the resident went 12 days without a shower from 9/08/11 through 9/21/11 and 15 days without a shower between 9/21/11 and 10/6/11. Similar findings were identified for Resident #19 who had not received a shower in the first ten days of October. RESIDENT #104 Resident #104 was admitted to the facility 9/30/11. In an interview on 10/04/11 at 10:51 a.m. Resident #104 was asked what staff assisted her with for morning care and she replied, "Nothing, they bring me my food, that's about it." The resident stated further "They don't give me baths, or pans with soap. Yesterday I asked the therapist to bring me a pan, soap, water, towel and washcloth and she did." When asked if this was acceptable, Resident #104 replied "Absolutely not!", " I need help," and "A person needs to freshen themselves up a bit." On 10/07/11 at 12:54 p.m. Resident #104 was observed in bed wearing a hospital gown with snaps. The resident stated she had "not washed up yet" as the staff told her they did not have any linen. "I asked for a new gown, but they don't have any. I want one without snaps...". She also reported her teeth had not yet been brushed, and "I asked them to change my sheets, pad on my bed, it smells bad and I'm getting a rash on my butt, they didn't have any so that was out." The 10/04/11 ADL Care Plan indicated Resident #104 required limited assistance with bathing. The CP did not provide directions for staff to set up and assist with personal hygiene, including oral care and showers. The bath/shower flow sheets indicated the first shower given since admission was on 10/08/11. In an interview on 10/11/11 at 1:44 p.m., the DNS stated staff should provide oral care twice a day, "...once in the morning, once in the evening...". RESIDENT #36 Observation on 10/05/11 at 9:50 a.m. revealed the resident was unshaven and had oily unkempt hair. The 8/22/11 ADL Function CP indicated Resident #36 was dependent on staff for bathing, and instructed staff to "Assist with shower as scheduled and as needed." The Nursing Care Directives indicated Resident #36 was to receive a shower every week. Review of the Shower/Bath Sheet revealed the last documented shower was given on 9/22/11. Review of the resident's record revealed the resident had been erroneously isolated on contact precautions for 12 days, from 9/28/11 through 10/10/11. In an interview on 10/11/11 at 11:29 a.m. Staff I said that because of the contact isolation order, Resident #36 did not receive a shower, but was given "a bed bath a couple of times." Observations of Resident #69 on 10/05/11 at 9:52 a.m. revealed hair that appeared greasy and ragged fingernails. The right pointer fingernail was observed to have dark matter under it. On 10/05/11 at 11:34 a.m., Resident #9's fingernails were ragged, with some broken off, but not filed, so that they presented with sharp edges. Her fingernail polish was badly chipped. Additionally, observation on 10/05/11 at 11:35 a.m. revealed Resident #24 with coarse facial hair that appeared to have not been shaved for several days, and whose hair was uncombed. On 10/12/11 at 9:25 a.m., Resident #96 was noted to have multiple course grey hairs on her chin approximately 1/8 th to 1/4 inch in length. At that time, Staff B indicated facial hair should be trimmed during bathing. RESIDENT #55 Resident #55 was observed on 10/05/2011 at 11:57 a.m. to have hair that looked greasy and unwashed. Record review revealed no documented bathing for this resident for ten days, from 9/02 through 9/20, and 13 days from 9/22/11 through 10/05/11. There was no evidence additional showers had been offererd or refused. Similar findings were identified for Resident #s 22 and 49 who had no bathing for a period of ten and nine days, respectively, and no evidence bathing had been offered or refused on additional days. In an interview on 10/11/11 at 11:15 a.m. Staff I stated, "every weekend I get pulled one day. It's hopeless to try and do baths on weekends. I only got six done yesterday, I was pulled (from doing baths) until 8:30 a.m., passing trays, feeding... I can usually get eight to 15 showers (in a day), eight if I am in the dining room. " NAIL CARE RESIDENT #32 Resident #32 was observed on 10/11/11 at 10:14 a.m. with a chipped right index nail and polish worn down on her other fingernails. The second toenail on the resident's right foot was elongated and needed trimming. As Staff U removed the resident's left sock, the resident kicked outwardly. The second toenail on the left foot was ripped partially off and Staff U commented, "Oh we have a hanger." When asked if it hurt, the resident replied "Yes." The third, fourth and fifth toenails were observed to be long, turning over the toes. The Nursing Care Directives indicated fingernail and toenail care was to be completed by the CNA. Staff U said the resident's nails were clipped by Staff I on shower days, unless it was care planned for the nurse to do. In an interview on 10/11/11 at 11:15 a.m. Staff I said residents' nail care was done "every other bath time, if the resident is agreeable." When asked specifically about Resident #32, Staff I said the "resident can be combative" and did not recall the last time he had clipped her toenails. Review of shower sheets revealed a shower was documented as given 10/09/11. Staff I said he did not cut the resident's nails then as he was "working short" and "backed up." RESIDENT #96 Resident #96 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was assessed to require extensive one person assistance with personal hygiene. Record review revealed the resident had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. In an interview on 10/12/11 at 9:15 a.m., the resident stated, "I'd like my toenails cut, they catch on my socks". Observation on 10/12/11 at 9:25 a.m. with Staff B, the DNS, revealed the resident had elongated toe nails. The third and forth toenails bilaterally were curling upward. In an interview on 10/12/11 at 9:27 a.m., the DNS indicated that diabetic residents received nail care once a week from licensed nurses and the nurses were directed to provide this care on the treatment records. Review of the resident's treatment records revealed no direction to staff to provide nail care. In an interview on 10/11/11 Staff I, the shower aide, indicated he did not do nail care for diabetic residents, that it was performed by licensed nurses. Similar findings were identified for Resident #48 who was identified by staff as a diabetic and for whom toe nails were observed on 10/11/11 to long and whose fingernails contained brown debris. CARE CONCERNS Review of the facility Grievance Log and associated Concern/Comment Forms revealed the facility was notified by residents and/or resident representatives regarding lack of care provided. On 8/24/11, Resident #59's family member was concerned the resident's "teeth are not being brushed." On 9/12/11, Resident #46 stated, "teeth had not been brushed since admit."

On 9/27/11, Resident #75 reported, "Staff is not setting up for oral care." After each of the reported concerns, the action taken by the facility included staff training to provide care per facility Standards of Care. .

F353G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to have sufficient quantity of qualified nursing staff to provide and supervise care for residents with complex health care needs. Staff did not adequately assess, evaluate or document information needed to formulate effective and timely interventions. This resulted in a failure to provide timely response to calls for assistance, failure to bathe or shower, provide toileting and incontinent care, or the delivery of basic activities of daily living. Nursing assistants were not adequately supervised to ensure required interventions were implemented. These failures placed residents at risk for not attaining and/or maintaining the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being and caused harm to Resident #s 5, 3 and 32. Findings include: For one of 14 days reviewed the facility failed to ensure eight hours of Registered Nursing coverage. 1) Refer to CFR 483.10(e)(1-3), F-164, Privacy and Confidentiality, for specific examples of Nursing staff failure to meet resident rights for personal privacy of person for one of three residents observed during personal care. 2) Refer to CFR 483.15(a), F-241, Quality of Life, for specific examples of failure by facility staff to limit use of personal care signs, meet resident's incontinent care needs, or provide assistance with activities of daily living needs in a manner and in an environment that maintains or enhances each resident's dignity and respect in full recognition of his or her individuality. 3) Refer to CFR 483.15(b), F-242, Accommodation of Needs, for specific examples of failure by Nursing staff to accommodate individual needs and preferences for bathing. 4) Refer to CFR 483.20(b)(i)(viii)(xi)(xiii)(xv), F-272, Comprehensive Assessment, for specific examples of failure by facility staff to conduct accurate or timely assessments. 5) Refer to CFR 483.20(k), F -279, Comprehensive Care Plans, for specific examples of staff failure to review and/or revise care plans to reflect resident needs. 6) Refer to CFR 483.20(k)(3)(1), F-281, Services Provided meet Professional Standards, for facility failure to ensure professional standards were followed for Licensed Nurses implementing physician orders, ensuring site rotation for injections or following facility practices and/or manufacturer recommendations. 7) Refer to CFR 483.25, F-309, Quality of Care, for failure of Licensed Nurses to provide bowel management and/or proper positioning for residents according to assessed needs. 8) Refer to CFR 483.25(a)(3), F-312, Dependent Residents Receives Care, for failure of Nursing Staff to provide required assistance for toileting, nail care, removal of facial hair, oral care, and/or personal hygiene. 9) Refer to CFR 483.25(k)(6), F-328, Special Respiratory care needs, for failure of Nursing staff to administer oxygen within the parameters of physician orders, ensure portable oxygen tanks used by residents contained oxygen, and failure to titrate or consider continued need of oxygen. 10) Refer to CFR 483.25(l)(1), F-329, Unnecessary Medications, for failure of Nursing staff to ensure monitoring and adequate indications for use of medications. 11) Refer to CFR 483.25(m)(1), F-332, Medication Error Rate, for failure of three of six Nursing staff observed, to ensure a medication error rate of less than 5%. 12) Refer to CFR 483.25(m)(2), F-333, Significant Medication Error, for failure of Nursing Staff to ensure residents were free from significant medication errors. .
