Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure family was notified of a change in condition for one (Resident #132) of two sampled residents. The findings include: A review of Resident #132's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an assessment reference date of [DATE], revealed the resident had diagnoses which included Alzheimer's and Non-Alzheimer's dementia, heart disease, and type II diabetes mellitus. Resident #132's MDS also revealed a brief interview for mental status score of 06, which indicated the resident had severe cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident #132 was under Hospice care. A review of Resident #132's Care Plan revealed the resident was receiving services from Hospice ([DATE]). Resident #132's Hospice Care Plan records indicated Hospice and facility staff would assist family member in having an active role in care planning and the family member would be kept informed of Resident #132's care and changes in disease progression. A review of Resident #132's Progress Notes, dated [DATE] at 4:55 AM, revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #1 documented that a change in condition was noted at 6:00 PM on [DATE]. According to the Progress Note, Resident #132 was described as significantly less responsive and lethargic with increased respirations. Resident #132's Progress Note revealed that Hospice was notified at that time, and again at 3:30 AM, and medication recommendations were made. A review of Resident #132's Hospice Contract on [DATE] at 9:22 AM, revealed the nursing home should inform the provider of any significant change in condition of the Hospice patient, and that both parties should comply with rules and regulations. During a telephone interview on [DATE] at 3:38 PM, a family member of Resident #132 reported that neither the facility or Hospice company called any family member when Resident #132 took a sudden decline and died 12 hours later in the facility on [DATE]. Resident #132's family member refused to answer any additional questions. During an interview with the Administrator and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) on [DATE] at 1:31 PM, the ADON stated, Hospice and the facility are responsible for notifying the family when there is a change of condition. The Administrator agreed the facility should have made sure the family was contacted regarding Resident #132's change in condition. The ADON stated that in the resident's Progress Notes on [DATE] at 8:38 AM, LPN #3 charted that at 6:48 AM, Hospice was notified that Resident #132 was without respirations and the Hospice Nurse told them they could not come out due to the weather on the roads, but that they would contact the family. The ADON then stated the Hospice Nurse called and told Director of Nursing she forgot to call the family after the 6:48 AM phone conversation. This surveyor pointed out that on [DATE] at 4:55 AM, LPN #1 documented at 6:00 PM on [DATE], there was a significant change in condition and Resident #132 was significantly less responsive and lethargic. When asked who was responsible for notifying the family that Resident #132 had a significant decline, the ADON reiterated that both Hospice and the facility were responsible for making sure the family was informed. The Administrator agreed with this statement. On [DATE] at 4:12 PM, this surveyor received a copy of a Progress Note from a Hospice Nurse stating LPN #1 called and Resident #132 was getting pain medication every hour and anti-anxiety medication as ordered. The Progress Note also revealed the resident's respiration rate was 30 breaths per minute and labored [the normal respiratory rate for adults at rest is between 12 and 20 breaths per minute], pulse was in the 30s [a normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute], pulse oxygen (SpO2) was in the 70s [SpO2, or peripheral oxygen saturation, measures the percentage of oxygen in your blood, with a normal range for healthy individuals being 95% to 100%]. LPN #1 was instructed to give a one-time dose of pain medication to see if that was more effective and call back with further concerns. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:02 AM, LPN #1 stated she worked the 10:00 PM-6:00 AM shift and could not recall any Hospice in-services being done at the facility. LPN #1 said, I was trained to call Hospice and follow instructions when there is a change in condition. LPN #1 revealed the Hospice company might tell facility staff to give medication or take vitals. LPN #1 said, It is my understanding Hospice should call the family when there is a change in condition, and said a change in condition was any type of change in baseline from mental status, vitals, pulse, increase or decrease in respirations or temperature, and/or reduced output. LPN #1 confirmed nobody called Resident #132's family during her shift when the resident declined. LPN #1 then stated she could not remember having a conversation with the charge nurse about Resident #132, but LPN #1 always communicated with the charge nurse and would have called the resident's family if told to. LPN #1 said she was under the impression Hospice would contact Resident #132's family. During an interview on [DATE] at 12:00 PM, LPN #2 reported previously caring for Hospice residents, and that it was their understanding staff were to call the Hospice company with a change in condition. LPN #2 said, I do not know what the regulation is, so when I call Hospice, I always just ask them if they are calling the family, or do they want me to call the family. LPN #2 said she could not remember if she took care of Resident #132. During an interview on [DATE] at 1:29 PM, LPN #3 stated she was not familiar with Resident #132 and did not remember being involved with Resident #132's care. LPN #3 revealed the facility called Hospice when there was a change in condition, and we will contact the family if Hospice asks us to call the family. LPN #3 revealed she had not received any Hospice in-servicing. During an interview on [DATE] at 1:30 PM, the Administrator said, I expect the family to be notified. Going forward, the expectation is that staff will have a conversation with Hospice about who is notifying the family and will make sure family is notified. I can understand how this happened because Hospice normally does contact the family, so I can see how staff would expect them to contact the family. The Administrator revealed Hospice provided in-services to the facility and he believed they had done an in-service within the year but was unable to find documentation. The Administrator said, I reached out to Hospice, but they have not provided in-service documentation.

The roof had been leaking for at least the past 6 months, with no successful repairs completed. The failed practice resulted in Immediate Jeopardy, which caused or could have caused serious injury, harm or death to all 109 residents who resided in the facility, as documented on the Roster Sample Matrix dated 12/13/16. The Administrator was informed of the immediate jeopardy situation on 12/14/16 at 1:30 p.m. The findings are: 1.

They stated that the bid . should help stop the current leaks, but it cannot be guaranteed. At this point, we need to get some type of better solution than the patchwork that (Corporate Maintenance and Maintenance Supervisor) have been able to do, because those efforts have not stopped the leaks. The roof problem was reviewed during the current Quality of Life complaint survey (Office of Long Term Care (OLTC) Complaint Investigation Survey conducted 7/25/16 through 7/29/16). The complaint of leaking was substantiated, because it is happening. However, we avoided a deficiency citation, because I had a quote and plan for repair.

He reports that the CNA used his finger to penetrate his anus repeatedly. He also used a shower nozzle to slap against his penis. He was also grabbed strongly on his left arm. The patient seems quite upset about this and was able to recall the event in pretty significant detail. He really doesn't have any pain with defecation at this point, and his bowel movements have been normal. He does have some bruising around this left wrist. His penis is normal, and he has no dysuria, and is not suffering bruising in his groin anteriorly. He is alert and cooperative with exam today. ...Left wrist: shows dorsal ecchymosis, about the size of the palm of a hand that appears within 1 to 3 day of age. Genitalia Exam: Reveals normal uncircumcised male. His testes are distended. There is no scrotal ecchymosis or penile ecchymosis. I could see no hernia. There are no skin abrasions in the groin region. Anus Exam: Reveals normal tone. There is one (1) small superficial, less than one (1) centimeter, abrasion on the right buttock, about 4 cm from his anus. It appears pretty fresh as there is no scabbing, but there is no active bleeding either. I could see no anal trauma and no other ecchymosis noted. ...I cannot say for sure whether this lesion is directly attributable to the trauma of 2 days ago, but it is certainly consistent with that age of injury." d.

(CNA #1) would be nice to him but (Resident #1) acted like he was going to hit him. (CNA #1) said to (Resident #1), ' If you think you're going to hit me, it will be the last time."

Before the behavioral health center, (CNA #1) gave him his showers.

LPN #1 was asked, "So why did (CNA #1) go back on the hall? LPN #1 stated, "That's a really good question. I don't know and he (Resident #1) doesn't like (CNA #3) either.

LPN #1 stated, "Yes, (DON) knows, because of (CNA #1) being punched and they did take (CNA #1) off that hall when (Resident #1) came back from (behavioral health center)." LPN #1 was asked then why did (CNA #1) go back on the hall the 26th (7/26/14)? LPN #1 stated, "I don't know. If he worked Sunday on that hall, they probably should've known better." f.

I didn't see it; I just saw his (CNA #1's) face after. (CNA #1) disrespects (Resident #1). I never knew (CNA #1) was not supposed to work E Hall. (CNA #1) never made that statement. I heard that the bruise on (Resident #1) was caused by (CNA #1). (Resident #1) said (CNA #1) did it." CNA #3 was asked if he believed (CNA #1) caused the bruising. CNA #3 stated, "It's a big possibility because of the way (CNA #1) talked in front of (Resident #1)." CNA #3 was asked did he ever report anything about (CNA #1). He stated, "Yes. They made me fill out a witness statement when (CNA #1) called me a faggot the first time in front of (Resident #1). Ever since then (Resident #1) calls me a faggot when I provide care. Yesterday, I had to step outside the building in order for me to cool my head, clear my thoughts because it upsets me. Yesterday was the very first time I was told to take someone with me to provide care to (Resident #1)." g. On 7/31/14 at 6:55 p.m., the Staffing Coordinator/LPN #2 was asked about (CNA #1) working on E Hall with (Resident #1). The Staffing Coordinator stated that CNA #1 was not supposed to work with (Resident #1) since June 2014 because I think (Resident #1) assaulted (CNA #1). (Resident #1) punched (CNA #1) in the face. I flipped him to E Hall Saturday (7/26/14) at noon because we had call ins. He was told not to have direct care with (Resident #1). (DON) told me that he was not to work with the resident because of what happened back in June. I don't know why he singled the resident out to give him a shower."

On 8/1/14 at 11:00 a.m., the Administrator was asked why (CNA#1) was allowed to work after she was aware of reported abuse by (CNA #1) toward (Resident #1). She stated, "I don't think of it as failure (by the facility) because he (CNA #1) was not assigned to (Resident #1). He was assigned to E Hall. He (CNA #1) knew he was not supposed to work with that resident. He made a conscious choice to do that." She was asked did the weekend staff know he wasn't supposed to be with (Resident #1)? She stated, "I don't know if I even considered that an issue. The responsibility lies with (CNA #1). He could've told the nurses that he couldn't work with him. I can't just side and blame nursing. He's an adult." She was asked if the facility identified an issue with the Staff Coordinator assigning (CNA #1) and instructing him to work E Hall where (Resident #1) resided even though she knew (CNA #1) was not supposed to? The Administrator stated, "But what part goes back to the CNA; to use discernment? It doesn't always fall back on nursing." She was asked so are you saying it is all the CNA's fault? The Administrator stated, "No. I'm not saying it's all the CNA's fault. But CNAs have responsibility too. I'm not taking away that we couldn't have done somewhat better." i. On 8/1/14 at 12:42 p.m., the DON was asked how information is reported to the weekend staff about resident care? She stated, "Well a lot of the carry over is because (Weekend RN supervisor) is here on Friday to inform weekend. Generally, I will post in the med.(medication) room and the break room information. A lot of it is based on (Weekend RN Supervisor)." The DON was asked if the facility identified an issue with the Staff Coordinator assigning (CNA #1) down E Hall where (Resident #1) resided even though she knew CNA #1 was not supposed to work E Hall? The DON stated, "(CNA #1) was a grown adult. I would expect that he would know better. I would expect not to tell him every single time not to provide care to (Resident #1). I don't hold (Staffing Coordinator) accountable. There was another CNA on that hall that could've given him a shower. Even though he was on the hall there were 23 other residents he could've cared for." j. On 8/1/14 at 1:00 p.m., during a body audit of Resident #1, surveyor was able see from thighs up.

I actually had to stop my PEG tube, I went to that room and I said you need to come find me when you are done. So I went back to finish my PEG and he never did come find me. I went and found him. I asked (CNA #1), Do you want to tell me why you said that to (Resident #1), and she's had a bad stroke. You shouldn't say that to anybody. She understands what you say. You do understand that's verbal abuse right? He said ' No. ' I said, I'm sure you didn't. I was extremely upset. I told him he was not to go back in that room for the rest of the night.
