Two residents had complained CNA 12 had run over their feet while assisting them to the bathroom. He did not act like he knew what he was doing. CNA 12 had very bloodshot reddened eyes and he was dozing at the nurse's station. RN 13 asked CNA 12 to go to the [NAME] unit to assist. He had to be physically assisted to go to [NAME] Hall. The ADON was informed he appeared to be impaired. The staff statements from the ADON and RN 13 did not indicate the exact amount of residents CNA 12 cared for while on duty and did not clarify how many residents were toileting since RN 13's statement indicated one resident was toileted and 2 residents had their feet ran over while being assisted to the bathroom.

They waited for her to turn her call light on and ask, despite her telling them she wanted to be woken up every 2 hours during the night. She did not want to have to call and/or wake herself up with an alarm because it was far more disruptive to her sleep and made it more difficult for her. She indicated it was very important to her because she had chronic pressure wounds which she really wanted to heal and because she did not want to get any new wounds. During an interview, on 7/10/24 at 11:14 a.m., the resident indicated, on 7/9/24, she had been turned around 4:00 p.m., and then took a nap.

She had complained about this multiple times, and she had personally told CNAs she wanted to be woken up every 2 hours no matter what. It had been an on-going issue, and this was why she even had an order to turn every 2 hours even when she was sleeping.

The facility had several brand-new CNAs who had just completed their certifications. During an interview, on 7/12/24 at 10:32 a.m., CNA 1 indicated they would try to turn her on even hours because it usually worked out better and to make it easier to remember. The resident had often complained that the night staff only turned her during their last round before the day shift came on. She tried to remind other staff members during their report/hand-off. A current job description, titled Certified Nursing Aide (CNA) Job Description: Primary, dated 11/10/16 and received from the Administrator on 7/11/24 at 1:30 p.m., indicated .The Certified Nursing Aide is responsible for providing routine daily nursing care to assigned patients to assure patient safety and attain or maintain the highest practicable physical .well-being .Must be able to lift, turn, move, position, and transport patients .Must be able to accurately document and chart patient care A policy for preventing pressure ulcers and/or routine turning of residents was requested on 7/12/24.
