Based on a review of the facility policy and procedure for Abuse, Neglect and Misappropriation, facility record review, medical record review and staff interview the facility failed to implement and ensure actions were in place to prevent further potential abuse. This was a random opportunity of discovery during the long term care survey process. This had the ability to affect a limited number of residents. Resident Identifier: Resident #34. Facility Census: 56. Findings include: a) Resident #34 During a review of the facility policy and procedure for Abuse, Neglect and Misappropriation it was identified on page 6 (six) of 20, (written as typed); In the event an allegation is made, the facility will take measures to protect residents from harm during an investigation. Accurate and timely reporting of incidents, both alleged and substantiated, will be sent to officials in accordance with the state law. If the alleged violation is verified, appropriate corrective actions will be taken by the facility. On 08/21/24 at approximately 10:30 AM during a facility record review of a facility reported incident dated 07/17/24, Resident #34 allegedly inappropriately attempted to move the hand of a another resident to Resident #34 groin area. At the time of the incident there were staff witnesses confirming the allegation. It is further identified through Resident #34 medical record review that the facility had initially placed Resident #34 on 1:1 (one on one) supervision. However, at the time of the incident the attending physician was in the building and it was noted that the attending physician stated the resident did not need 1:1 supervision at this time. It was further identified the physician order for 1:1 supervision was not entered until 07/18/24 at 7:00 PM. A review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) identifies that the 1:1 supervision started the night shift of 07/18/24. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 08/21/24 at approximately 12:55 PM the DON stated she felt they had continued the 1:1 supervision but was not able to provide any documentation to support her belief. She agreed without the 1:1 supervision the residents in the facility including the victim of the incident was not provided protection from further potential abuse from the time the staff was aware of the initial abuse incident at 11:30 AM on 07/17/24 through 07/18/24 at 7:00 PM.

F812L · Immediate jeopardy, widespread

Based on observation, record review and staff interview the facility failed to ensure food was stored and prepared in a manner to prevent the spread of food borne illnesses. The facility failed to ensure food served from the kitchen was cooked thoroughly to an adequate temperature before serving it to residents. In addition, the facility failed to ensure the kitchen was clean and food was stored in the kitchen in a safe and sanitary manner. There were multiple items which were either not labeled or remained available for service past use by dates. Ensuring all food is cooked to an adequate temperature is critical to prevent the spread of food borne illnesses. The state agency found the failure to cook food items to the appropriate temperature placed all 55 residents currently residing in the facility in an immediate jeopardy (IJ) situation. At which time serious harm and/or death could occur immediately if the facility did not correct this failure. The facility was notified of the IJ at 3:43 PM on 03/12/24. The SA accepted the plan of correction (POC) at 5:30 PM on 03/12/24. On 03/13/24 after observation of the noontime meal it was determined the facility had implemented their plan of correction and the IJ was abated at 12:45 PM. After the IJ was abated it was determined a deficient practice remained at F812 due to the facility's failure to ensure food was stored safely and discarded when past the expiration date and they failed to ensure the kitchen was clean. Because a deficient practice remained the scope and severity were decreased from a L to a F. The IJ began on 02/15/24 which is the first date the state agency identified the facility failed to cook food to the appropriate temperature. The IJ continued until it was abated by the state agency on 03/13/24 at 12:45 PM. These failed practices had the potential to affect all residents currently residing from the facility because all residents receive meals from the facility's kitchen. Facility Census: 55 Findings Include: a) Meal Preparation The facility utilizes a Service Line Checklist that indicates the item names and temperatures for all hot and cold food. The temperatures should be obtained before placing food on the steam table to ensure the food was cooked to the appropriate temperature to avoid potentially spreading food borne illnesses. An observation of the noontime meal on 03/11/24 found Employee #19 a facility cook was preparing Chicken Pot Pie for the noontime meal. At approximately 12:30 PM Employee #19 took the temperature of the chicken pot pie mixture. The temperature was 143 degrees Fahrenheit (F). She removed the mixture from the convection oven and placed it onto the steam table and the meal service began at approximately 12:45 PM. Between 12:30 PM and 12:45 PM Dietary Employee #91 who was visiting from a sister facility spoke with the surveyor. The surveyor advised her that the chicken pot pie mixture was cooked to 143 degrees F. Employee #91 said, It should have been 165 degrees F. However, Employee #91 did not stop Employee #19 from serving the chicken pot pie to the residents. A review of the service line checklists from 02/12/24 to 03/12/24 on 03/12/24, found on the following dates food items were not cooked to the appropriate temperature: - 02/15/24 - Pureed rancher chicken was 162 degrees F and should have been 165 degrees F. -- 02/16/24 -- Jambalaya was 164 degrees F and should have been 165 degrees F. -- 02/21/24 - Turkey was 156 degrees F, the ground Turkey was 156 degrees F, and the pureed turkey was 160 degrees F. The menu indicated 165 was the appropriate temperature. --02/24/24 - Hot Dogs and pureed hot dogs were heated to 73 degrees F and 70 degrees F respectively. The menu indicated 165 was the appropriate temperature. An interview with Employee #90 who is a Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) from a sister facility on 03/12/24 at 2:43 PM confirmed the items listed above should have been cooked to 165 degrees F. Review of the menus for the above-mentioned food items found each recipe indicated the item needed to be cooked to a minimum temperature of 165 degrees F for 15 seconds. b) Facility's Plan of Correction The facility's POC read as follows: Preparation and/or execution of this plan of correction does not constitute admission or agreement by the provider of the truth of the facts alleged or conclusions set forth on the Statement of Deficiencies. The Plan of Correction is prepared and/or executed solely because it is required by the provisions of 42 CFR 405.1907 and State Regulations. 1. An assessment was conducted with all residents currently residing within the center by director of nursing/designee on 3/12/24 to determine if any residents reported or exhibiting signs and/symptoms that could be related to food borne illness resulting in no concerns reported. 2. All center residents will be monitored each shift for 24 hours for new onset food borne illness symptoms. 3. The center administrator/designee provided all available dietary staff education on 3/12/24 on the Food: Preparation Policies, which includes the requirement to take appropriate temperatures and record them on the Service Line Checklist to ensure food is prepared and held at a safe temperature to prevent the spread of food borne illness prior to serving food from the service line with post-test to validate understanding. All dietary staff not available for education and training will be re-educated upon return to work. 4. An ongoing audit will be conducted by the interim food services manager\ designee, starting immediately, for each meal x 3 months and randomly thereafter to ensure appropriate temperatures as determined by food service production logs, are obtained, and recorded on the Service Line Checklists prior to the service of meal. Food outside of required temperatures will not be served. Audits will be reviewed weekly with the ED or designee and submitted for review to the Quality Assurance Committee monthly x3 and then when random audits are completed. c) Initial Tour of Kitchen An initial tour of the kitchen beginning at 9:06 AM on 03/11/24 with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) found the following storage and sanitation issues: 1) Reach In Refrigerator: -- Staff members personal drinking cup in the reach in refrigerator. -- Four (4) bowls containing a piece of cake which were not labeled or dated. -- One (1) bowl containing applesauce which was not labeled or dated. -- One (1) bowl containing a pumpkin dessert which was not labeled or dated. -- One (1) bowl pudding which was not labeled and dated. -- Seven (7) bowls of pears which were not labeled or dated. -- One (1) bowl of pureed peaches which was not labeled or dated. -- One (1) bowl of vanilla pudding with a prepared date of 03/05/24 which should have been discarded on 03/08/24. -- Two (2) bowls of salad with a prepared by date of 03/07/24 which should have been discarded on 03/10/24. -- One (1) bowl of pineapples prepared by date of 03/06/24 which should have been discarded on 03/09/24. -- Four (4) bowls of peaches with a prepared by date of 03/07/24 which should have been discarded on 03/10/24. -- One (1) 46-ounce container of Grove Pineapple juice which had a manufactured stamped expiration date of 02/26/24.

F323G · Actual harm, isolated

Part I -- Based on family interview, medical record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to provide adequate supervision and/or assistive devices to prevent avoidable accidents with injuries for one (1) of thirty-four (34) Stage II sample residents. Record review revealed Resident #48 fell from her bed on the morning of 01/31/11 and sustained a compression fracture of the T-4 vertebra and a facial bone fracture. Further review of the record revealed she had sustained two (2) previous falls from her bed (on 08/23/10 and 11/07/10) with no injuries; however, the interdisciplinary team did not revise the resident's care plan after these falls to include interventions that would serve to either prevent the resident from falling out of bed and/or reduce the likelihood of serious injury from such a fall. The care plan interventions for falls remained essentially unchanged since 08/30/10, with a reliance on the use of bed and chair alarms to alert staff to unassisted self-transfers. The use of bed bolsters and floor mats was not added to her overall plan of care until after the 01/31/11 fall. Resident identifier: #48. Facility census: 55. Findings include: a) Resident #48 1. When interviewed on 03/07/11 at approximately 2:00 p.m., Resident #48's daughter stated she did not understand why the facility had not initiated the use of more safety devices (such as fall mats in her mother's room) after Resident #48 fell in November 2010. The resident had subsequently sustained a fall with injuries in January 2011. -- 2. Record review revealed Resident #48 was an [AGE] year old female originally admitted to the facility on [DATE], with her most recent admission occurring on 06/29/10. According to her most recent minimum data set (MDS), an abbreviated quarterly assessment with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 02/06/11, Resident #48 scored 4 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS); a resident scoring between 0 and 7 is considered to have severe cognitive impairment. In Section C1300 (Signs and Symptoms of Delirium), the assessor noted the resident exhibited inattention ("2 - Behavior present, fluctuates"). In Section C1600 (Acute Onset Mental Status Change), the assessor noted there was no evidence of an acute change in mental status from the resident's baseline. In Section G (Functional Status), the assessor noted the resident required the extensive physical assistance of two (2) or more persons for bed mobility, transfer, and toilet use. In Section G0300 (Balance During Transitions and Walking), the assessor coded 2 for moving from a seated to a standing position, moving on and off the toilet, and making surface-to-surface transfers (transfer between bed and chair or wheelchair), with 2 meaning the resident was "Not steady, only able to stabilize with human assistance". In Section G0400 (Functional Limitation in Range of Motion), the assessor noted the resident had impairments in range of motion of upper and lower extremities on both sides. In Section I (Active Diagnoses), the assessor noted the following [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]., Parkinson's disease, seizure disorder, anxiety, depression, and a psychotic disorder other than schizophrenia. Additional [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. In Section J1800, the assessor noted the resident had experienced falls since admission or since the prior assessment. In Section 1900, the assessor noted the resident had one (1) fall with a major injury. -- 3. Review of the resident's current care plan (last reviewed by the facility on 02/15/11) found the following problem statements (quoted below as recorded in the record): - "ADL (activities of daily living) performance requires extensive assist, Parkinsons, tremors." The goal was: "Patient will maintain adequate level of function." Interventions included: "Fall Risk." (These were all dated as having been initiated on 09/13/10.) - "(PATIENT has experienced an actual fall with compression fx (fracture), injury to her face 01/31/2011 risk for further fall/injury." The goal was: "Patient will resume usual activities without further complication through the review date." The interventions were: "RISK OF INJURY FROM FALL:alarms to bed and w/c (wheelchair) to alert staff she needs assistancebed in lowest position when in bed bed bolsters on bed, falls matts by the bed non skid cushion in w/c. "Continue interventions on the at-risk plan. Monitor / document / report to physician for s/sx (signs / symptoms): Pain, bruises, Change in mental status, New onset: confusion, sleepiness, inability to maintain posture, agitation. HIGH FALL RISK: Anticipate and meet patient's needs." (The last intervention was noted to have been initiated on 01/06/11, while the problem statement, goal, and other interventions were noted to have been initiated on 11/09/10, even though the fall with injury occurred after this date on 01/31/11. Please also note no "at-risk plan" was found elsewhere in the comprehensive care plan.) -- 4. Review of the resident's nursing notes revealed the resident sustained [REDACTED]. A nursing note, dated 01/31/11 at 10:10 a.m. (quoted verbatim), stated:"... Alerted to resident's room resident lying on floor on stomach looking towards bed. Blood noted on floor from resident's face. ... Bleeding controlled, Resident remained on stomach not moved. 911 phoned, Daughter notified. ... " A subsequent nursing note, dated 02/01/11 at 1:01 a.m. (quoted verbatim), stated: "... resident has returned from (name hospital) with facial fracture .alert talking re: (regarding) her fall today able to move all extremities .noted bil.

Nursing Assessment: Eyes are black, broken nose, T-4 fracture. ... " Review of the resident's physician orders [REDACTED]. The order stated: "Bed Bolsters while in bed for positioning and to facilitate a tactile barrier to provide a sense of bed boundaries." -- 5. According to her nursing notes, Resident #48 previously sustained a fall from her bed on the early morning of 11/07/10: "Resident found sitting on bottom in the floor beside floor. Resident stated 'I want to use the commode.' 'I'm not hurt.' " A nursing note, dated 11/08/10 at 4:10 a.m. (quoted verbatim), stated:"... Resident fall on 11/07/10 2300-700 (11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. shift). ... Resident resting with eyes closed. No acute distress not=ed (sic) ... No complaints voiced. No grimacing noted. Communication of concern or assessment to physician: None at this time. Physician Response or Order given: None at this time. Physician Response or Order given: None at this time. Communication of physician's response or order: None at this time. Patient / Health Care Decision Maker Notification: None needed at this time." A subsequent nursing note, dated 11/09/10 at 4:01 a.m. (quoted verbatim) stated: "... Previous fall. ... Resident resting quietly at present, with eyes closed. Bed in decreased position with call light within reach. 0 s/s of distress observed. 0 pain verbalized thus far this shift. ... Continue to observe. Bed alarm present and active. CNA monitoring q1hr (every hour). Redirection to use call bell when needing assistance and ambulation for any reason. ..." -- 6. Review of her previous MDS, a comprehensive assessment for a significant change in status, with an ARD of 11/14/10, revealed the BIMS was not completed, as the resident, at that time, was rarely / never understood. In Section C0700, the assessor noted the resident had problems with both short and long-term memory, she was oriented to person only, and her cognitive skills for daily decision-making were moderately impaired. In Section C1300, the assessor noted she exhibited inattention and disorganized thinking (both encoded 2, meaning "Behavior present, fluctuates"). The assessor also noted, in Section C1600, that this represented in acute change in her mental status from the resident's baseline. In Section G, the assessor noted the resident required the extensive physical assistance of one (1) person for bed mobility and two (2) or more persons for transfers and toilet use. In Section G0300, testing for balance could not be completed, and in Section G0400, the assessor noted the resident had impairments in range of motion of upper and lower extremities on both sides. In Section I, in addition to the previously stated diagnoses, the assessor also noted the resident's current functional status was affected by the following Diagnoses: [REDACTED]. In Section J1800, the assessor noted the resident had experienced falls since admission, and in Section J1900, the assessor noted the resident had one (1) fall with no injury. In Section V0200, the assessor indicated that falls would be addressed on the resident's care plan. -- 7. Review of the care plan that had been reviewed / revised after the 11/14/10 MDS (and after the 11/07/10 fall) revealed the following (quoted below as recorded in the record) the following problem statements: - "ADL (activities of daily living) performance requires extensive assist, Parkinsons, tremors." The goal was: "Patient will maintain adequate level of function." Interventions included: "Fall Risk." (These were all dated as having been initiated on 09/13/10.) - "(PATIENT has experienced an actual fall with no injury noted at the time." The goal was: "Patient will resume usual activities without further complication through the review date." The interventions were: "RISK OF INJURY FROM FALL:alarms to bed and w/c staff she needs assistance. Continue interventions on the at-risk plan. Monitor / document / report PRN (as needed) x 72h (72 hours) to physician for s/sx: Pain, bruises, Change in mental status, New onset: confusion, sleepiness, inability to maintain posture, agitation." (These were all dated as having been initiated on 11/09/10. No "at-risk plan" was found elsewhere in the comprehensive care plan.) -- 8. Further review of the resident's medical record revealed [REDACTED]. A nursing note, dated 08/23/10 at 2:30 a.m. (quoted verbatim), stated, "Residents bed alarm sounded - two CNA's (nurse aides) and a nurse went to check on resident. Resident found on (R) (right) side of bed in floor, head was under chair and (L) (left) arm was under residents back. Resident states she doesn't recall what happened or how she fell in floor. (R) side of cheek is reddened and (L) elbow has small bruise on it. ... Moves all extremities freely. Residents POA (power of attorney) notified - (name of daughter) @ 225 AM (2:25 a.m.). Dr. (name) notified @ 215 A (2:15 a.m.) Will cont (continue) to monitor ..." The next consecutive nursing note, dated 08/23/10 at 4:45 a.m., stated: "Resident resting /c (with) eyes closed. Has attempted to get up /c out assistance - redirected resident to use call bell when wanting to get out of bed for any reason ... " -- 9. Review of the care plan developed after the fall on 08/23/10 revealed the following problem statement (which was created on 08/30/10): "Has fallen with risk of further falls due to weakness, confusion, transfers without help." The goal was: "Resident will be free from falls with fx (fracture) or injury requiring a hospital visit through this review." The interventions were: "Transfer with 1 assist to w/c with no skid matt. Therapy to work with resident for safety, transfers, mobility and ambulation as well as simple grooming. nursing monitor for any med (medication) changes for cognitive changes, dizziness, lethargy. bed alarm and chair alarm to alert staff assistance is needed." The following intervention was handwritten on the care plan after it had been printed, although the entry was not dated: "Special pressure sensitive call light / nursing. " -- 10. Resident #48 participated in physical therapy in the summer of 2010. According to Employee #88 (physical therapist), the resident's original goal consisted of rehabilitation and then returning home. However, she had declined, and the goal changed. The physical therapist said the therapy department had Resident #48 on their case load in the summer of 2010 but stopped working with her around September 2010. She had made progress and walked some with a walker at that time. However, that progress did not last as she declined after discharge from therapy. After September 2010, Resident #48 received speech and occupational therapy to work on positioning in her wheelchair and on positioning during meal time. The physical therapist said her department did not screen the resident following the 11/07/10 fall, because she was not currently on their case load at that time. -- 11. On 03/09/11 at approximately 1:00 p.m., the clinical care supervisor (Employee #78) reviewed the resident's medical record and stated she was not sure why the facility had not ordered floor mats for the resident after the 11/07/10 fall from bed. She stated she thought the family had said they did not want the mats, because they were afraid they would trip over them while visiting with her. However, no documentation of this statement attributed to the family was located in the resident's medical record or on the facility's 24-hour daily report. -- 12. Resident #48's active [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. She required extensive physical assistance from staff with her activities of daily living due to the tremors associated with her Parkinson's disease. She had periods of confusion and disorientation and chronic pain. When she sustained a fall from bed without an injury on 08/23/10, her care plan was revised to include treatment by therapy staff to address safety, transfers, mobility, and ambulation. Her care plan also referenced the use of bed and chair alarms and the provision of a pressure sensitive call light. Resident #48 sustained a second fall from her bed on 11/07/10. In the months prior to this fall, the resident had been discharged from physical therapy. After the fall occurred, no interventions were added to her care plan that would prevent falls from bed and/or reduce the likelihood of injuries from such falls. On 01/31/11, Resident #48 sustained the third fall from her bed, which resulted in fractures of her T-4 vertebra and facial bones. After this third fall, which resulted in major injuries, the facility implemented the use of bed bolsters and floor mats. The resident has not fallen from bed since the bed bolsters were initiated. -- Part II -- Based on observation and staff interview , the facility failed to provide a resident environment as free as possible of accident hazards. Unlocked storage cabinets located in common bathing areas contained hazardous materials, including razors, medications, and hygiene supplies labeled for external use only. The unrestricted access of these items posed the potential for more than minimal harm to more than an isolated number of residents (especially residents who were independent in locomotion with impaired cognition). Facility census: 55. Findings include: a) Resident central shower areas 1. During the initial tour of the facility on 03/06/11, the following potentially hazardous items were observed in the common shower areas on C-hall: a. In the women's shower area in an unlocked cabinet (the cabinet was equipped with a lock): - A bottle of Nystop (Nystatin) powder labeled for external use only. The medicated powder was a prescription item and had a pharmacy label indicating it was for Resident #36. - Two (2) boxes of ten (10) Dawn Mist Disposable 3 Blade Razors. - Bottles of Selsun blue shampoo and Rugby anti-dandruff shampoo which bore manufacturers' labels for external use only. - b. Among the many things stored in the Century tub, located between the men's and women's central shower areas, were two (2) bottles of Rugby anti-dandruff shampoo (blue formula) labeled for external use only. - c. In the men's shower area in an unlocked cabinet (the cabinet was equipped with a lock): - Three (2) boxes of razors, Selsun Blue shampoo, and one (1) ounce bottles of after shave. - A bottle of Ammonium Lactate 12% with a prescription label for Resident #6. The bottle was labeled for external use only. -- 2. On 03/09/11 at 1:15 p.m., the shower areas were again checked accompanied by the life safety surveyor and Employee #84 (the facility's environmental coordinator). The cabinets were again found unlocked. The bottle of Nystop (Nystatin) powder was still in the cabinet. Employee #84 agreed the medication should not be in the shower room. She took the bottle to the director of nursing's office immediately. By virtue of the medicated powder being in a common area in an unlocked cabinet, it could be accessed by ambulatory residents, could be applied to someone for which it was not ordered, and did not meet the requirements for storage of medications. (See also citation at F431.) The other items, previously noted on 03/06/11, were also still found in the cabinets, with the exception of the Ammonium Lactate for Resident #6. -- 3. On 03/15/11 at 12:27 p.m., the shower rooms were again checked. The non-prescription items found on previous visits remained in unlocked cabinets. On this occasion, a bottle of Nizoral Shampoo labeled for external use only and bearing a prescription label for Resident #62 was also found. -- 4. On 03/15/11, at 12:50 p.m., the administrator was informed of these findings. She locked the cabinets at that time. .
