On 6/2/2023 at 9:11 AM, the Regional Nurse Consultant (RNC) and the Director of Nursing( DON) were interviewed related to Resident #237's change in condition. The RNC stated the resident had a chest x- ray due to a cough and was sent to the ER (emergency room ) due to low blood oxygen saturation. When asked when the change in condition occurred, they both confirmed that there was no documentation about when it occurred, however, the chest x-ray was ordered on 3/22/2023 and obtained on 3/23/2023. They confirmed that there was no documentation on 3/23/2023 during the 7-3 shift about the resident's condition or status of the chest x-ray. The RNC and the DON stated the facility's policy was to contact the physician, family and DON for any changes in a resident's condition. When asked about the turning and repositioning documentation expectations, the DON stated the facility's protocol was to turn and reposition residents every two hours, but staff did not document every time they repositioned a resident. In an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) G/Wound Care Nurse on 6/2/2023 at 9:47 a.m., she stated Resident #237 had a small area on her sacrum but it resolved by the time of discharge.

She added that the care plan included turning and repositioning per facility protocol to prevent any new skin breakdown. When asked about the resident's functional status, she stated the resident was totally dependent on staff for all ADLs including bed mobility. She was then asked about the resident's change in condition. She stated she worked on 3/23/2023 on the 3-11 shift. The morning nurse reported the resident's respiratory discomfort and that she was awaiting chest x-ray results. LPN G added that when she checked on the resident, she noted that she had chest congestion. She contacted the radiology department, which provided the x-ray results. The physician was notified of the x-ray results and nursing obtained orders for antibiotics related to infiltration pneumonia, however, the resident's oxygen saturation started dropping before the initiation of the antibiotic. She contacted the physician again and was given orders to transfer the resident to the ER via emergency medical services.
Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure that two (Residents #57 and #85) of two residents reviewed for limited range of motion, from a total of 37 residents in the sample, received appropriate treatment and services to increase range of motion and/or to prevent further decrease in range of motion. The findings include: 1. On 5/31/23 at 11:29 AM, Resident #57 was observed in bed. His right upper extremity was contracted to his chest. When the resident was asked if he was able to extend his arm, he held it with the left hand as he tried to stretch it, then shook his head no. He was then asked if he was attending any therapy and again he shook his head no. He stated he had a splint but staff were not consistent with applying it. On 5/31/23 at 3:00 PM, the resident was observed in bed with no splint on his right upper extremity (RUE). On 6/01/23 at 10:05 AM, the resident was observed in bed with no splint on his RUE. On 6/02/23 at 10:30 AM, the resident was observed in bed with no splint on his RUE. He stated staff had just completed providing his morning care. A review of the medical record revealed that Resident #57 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. his diagnoses included cerebrovascular disease, aphasia and muscle spasms. A review of the resident's physician's orders, dated 1/9/23, indicated that the resident was to participate in the Restorative Nursing Program (RNP) for orthotic management and upper extremity range of motion (ROM) seven times a week as tolerated. Notify rehab of any adverse reaction for pain. Another order, dated 1/30/23, indicated that Resident #57 was to utilize a right upper extremity (RUE) comfy elbow extension and RUE [NAME] air T-hand splint up to six hours per day as tolerated. Monitor skin integrity throughout to ensure no adverse reaction and doff splint immediately and notify rehab if noticed. (Photographic evidence obtained) A review of the care plan, updated on 5/31/23, revealed that the resident was at Risk for Symptoms/Complications related to History of Contracture (RUE). This places him at risk for pain. Interventions included to provide adaptive equipment/splints as tolerated to assist with mobility. A review of the Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 5/17/23, revealed that the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 14 out of a possible 15 points, indicating intact cognition. He required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers and toilet use. He was totally dependent on staff for eating. The MDS did not indicate that the resident was on a restorative program. 2. On 5/30/23 at 1:37 PM, Resident #85 stated she had left-sided weakness and was getting occupational therapy (OT) until last Thursday, 5/25. She added that she was being splinted and was not sure whether she should continue being splinted since therapy stopped. She added that she would like to continue having it as it helped with the pain caused during movement. The resident's splint was observed in her drawer. (Photographic evidence obtained) A review of the medical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with an admitting diagnosis noted as sequelae of unspecified cerebrovascular. A review of her physician's order, dated 2/14/23, revealed the following: Resident may participate in RNP 7 times a week for 15 weeks for contracture management. Resident to utilize Left [NAME] air T-hand orthotic for contracture management. A review of the Care Plan, revised on 5/31/23, revealed that the resident required assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) and fluctuated from requiring extensive to total assistance/total care except for eating, which she required supervision for due to a diagnosis of stroke. Her ability to perform ADLs varied over the course of the day. Interventions included utilizing a Left [NAME] Air hand orthotic for contracture management. (Photographic copy obtained) A review of the Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 5/12/23, revealed that the resident had a BIMS score of 13, indicating intact cognition. She was assessed to be totally dependent for bed mobility, transfers, toilet use and needed supervision with eating. The resident was not documented to be receiving Restorative Therapy. A review of the Occupational Therapy (OT) notes dated 5/25/23, revealed that the resident had been discharged from OT when her highest practicable level was achieved. The notes further indicated that the resident was placed back on the RNP for passive ROM and splint placement. In an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) I on 6/2/23 at 1:08 PM, she stated she had been employed by the facility for three years. She further stated Resident #85 required total care assistance. She confirmed that the resident was contracted and she had seen her with a splint at one time and therapy was placing the splint. She added that the resident was no longer on therapy and nursing staff should be applying the splint. She added that therapy normally taught staff how to apply the splints. A joint interview with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) H/Restorative Nurse was conducted on 6/2/23 at 1:47 PM. The DOR stated residents were screened quarterly for functional status. If issues were noted, residents were further evaluated for skilled therapy or restorative nursing. She stated residents who were getting discharged from the skilled therapy case load and who remained in the facility, were normally discharged to restorative nursing from therapy. The DOR said, Normally, the frequency for Restorative is 5-7 days a week as tolerated, depending on what is going on. Restorative aides and/or nursing staff are provided with education with return demonstration as to what kind of services the residents need during discharge from skilled therapy. When asked about Residents #57 and #85's contractures, the DOR stated both residents were on the Restorative Nursing case load for splinting. The DOR stated Resident #85 completed skilled rehab on 5/25/23 and was placed back on the RNP. Both the DOR and LPN H accompanied the surveyor to the resident's room and confirmed that the splint was not on the resident. The resident pointed out that the splint was in the closet. The Infection Control Nurse/Restorative Nurse obtained the splint behind a stack of clothes in the closet. LPN H added that sometimes residents were uncomfortable with splints and they were taken off or staff took them off during care. When asked about how the resident tolerated the splints, she stated the staff were expected to document when they were applied and when they were removed. She could not provide documentation for the Restorative Nursing Program. During an interview with the Regional Nurse Consultant (RNC) on 6/2/23 at 4:45 PM, she confirmed that the facility had no documentation on it's Restorative Nursing Program. She added that the facility had identified that the RNP had stopped and had initiated a performance improvement program (PIP) in April 2023. When asked for the audits, she stated, There was no audit, only an in-service was conducted to initiate the program. I learned during the survey that it was not initiated.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident who required respiratory care, including tracheostomy care and tracheal suctioning, was provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the resident's goals and preferences for one (Resident #2) of six residents receiving respiratory treatment, from a total of 37 residents in the sample. The findings include: During an interview with Resident #2 on 5/30/2023 at 2:19 p.m., she advised that she stopped breathing when she slept. She stated Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A/Unit Manager was supposed to have ordered her a CPAP device two months ago but it still hadn't arrived. A review of Resident #2's medical record revealed that she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included heart failure; type 1 diabetes; ischemic cardiomyopathy; hemiplegia/hemiparesis; obstructive sleep apnea; atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery; COPD; pulmonary hypertension; and presence of automatic cardiac defibrillator. A review of the Care Plan revealed the following: FOCUS - Impaired Gas Exchange/Ineffective Airway Clearance related to a diagnosis OSA history of bronchitis (rev 5/23/22) GOAL - Resident will be free of sign/symptoms of respiratory infections through the review date. INTERVENTIONS - BiPAP at 25/20 cm (centimeters) H20 (water) on room air with humidification. BiPAP to be worn during hours of sleep (4/12/22); Monitor for sign/symptoms of respiratory distress; respirations, pulse oximetry, increased heart rate; restlessness, diaphoresis, headaches; lethargy; confusion; atelectasis; hemotysis; cough; pleuritic pain; accessory muscle usage; skin color; vital signs as ordered. Per the Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 3/23/23, the resident's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was 15/15, indicating intact cognition. There were no moods or behaviors documented. She required supervision with locomotion on/off unit and eating; total dependence with toileting, and extensive assistance with transfers, bed mobility and dressing. A review of the resident's physician's order dated 5/11/23, revealed: BiPAP @ 25/20 cm H20 on room air with humidification to be worn during hours of sleep; Monitor mobile cardiac monitor with it in place on chest, may secure with chest; Please apply supplemental O2 QHS (oxygen at bedtime daily) at 2L (2 liters per minute) for sleep apnea. Will continue until CPAP {*clerical error} has been fixed. During an interview on 6/1/2023 at 1:51 p.m. with LPN B, she was asked to clarify whether the resident was ordered a CPAP or BiPAP device. She replied, I don't know. She stated she had only been employed with the facility for three weeks, and although she was familiar with the resident, she did not have knowledge of this information. She deferred to LPN A. At this time, a person exited from a door behind a desk at the nurses' station. She advised the surveyor this was LPN A. The surveyor made an introduction and explained what was needed. An interview was conducted on 6/1/2023 at 1:53 p.m. with LPN A, who stated she had been employed with the facility for approximately 19 months. She was asked about Resident #2 and the equipment. She stated at times the resident was noncompliant with the CPAP. She stated the resident would mess with it and lost the cord. She further stated she called the company and they were sending a new cord to the facility. She was asked to clarify whether the resident had been ordered a CPAP or BiPAP device. She could not clarify this and stated she would have to look into it. She also could not confirm how long it had been since the cord had been ordered and the resident had been without use of the device. She also could not provide any documentation such as a workorder, invoice etc. for the equipment repair/part ordered. During an interview on 6/1/2023 at 5:07 p.m. with the Regional Nurse Consultant (RNC), she confirmed the equipment was a BiPAP device. She stated they were in communication with the supplier in an attempt to get the equipment sent overnight to the facility. On 6/2/2023 at 9:33 a.m., the RNC advised that the BiPAP cord had been received and delivered to the resident overnight. During an interview on 6/2/2023 at 4:08 p.m. with LPN A, she confirmed the device was a BiPAP and that it had been received. She stated the resident said she was getting an error message that air was leaking from it. She stated she called the supplier and they said the settings were too high and they needed to verify the setting. She stated she was able to confirm the correct setting and they were still working on other possible fixes. She stated she was working with the nurse on the other shift as well to see whether they could get the right fit for the resident, as she had two masks for the device. Again, she was asked how long the issue had been going on. She stated since approximately 5/11/2023. On 6/2/2023 at 4:33 p.m., LPN A advised that she had spoken to the provider and it was determined that there was a crack in the water reservoir of the device which would cause the seal not to seal properly. She was asked to provide correspondence from the onset of the issue on 5/11/23 to current date. She stated there wasn't anything that she could provide as proof that the facility had been making attempts to have the equipment repaired. There are no record of the repair calls to the supplier or a technician with the supplier or the facility, nor were there any work orders or invoices. There were no receipts, payment coupons, or sell slips provided. She stated the phone representative at the supplier stated she could see where she had called in the past, however she could not provide any documentation of this. She again stated there was no documentation to confirm anything had been done to make repairs to the equipment prior to the survey team entering the building.

Inspection of February 9, 2017
2 findingsBased on record reviews and interviews, the facility failed to ensure that residents received, and the facility provided the necessary care and services to attain or maintain the highest practicable well-being consistent with the residents' comprehensive assessment and plan of care by failing to obtain and provide required anti-[MEDICAL CONDITION] medication or lCD4 lab tests for one resident (Resident #1) of 4 sampled residents, and by putting the resident at risk for physical decline. The findings Include: Resident #1 was [MEDICAL CONDITION](Human Immune Deficiency Virus) positive individual who was prescribed and required the [MEDICAL CONDITION] medication Triumeq tab 600-50-300 mg (milligrams)(Abacavir, Dolutegravir-Lamivud), one tablet by mouth one time a day for management of [MEDICAL CONDITION]. Anti-[MEDICAL CONDITION] drugs like this one need to be taken as prescribed to prevent the development of drug resistance, to keep the [MEDICAL CONDITION] load (amount of virus) in the person's body low, and to keep their immune system intact. Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and the physician ordered a start for this medication on 1/14/2017 (photographic evidence obtained). Review of the Medication Administration Record [REDACTED]. The resident was also ordered a CD4 test on 1/17/2017. Review of the lab work revealed there were no results indicating that the ordered CD4 test was completed. CD4 lab tests measure the number of infection fighting cells there are in a person's immune system. Review of progress notes showed two notes (1/15/2017 and 1/16/2017) stating the medication was on order from the pharmacy (photographic evidence obtained). Review of pharmacy communication to the facility showed that two faxes of their Urgent Non-Covered Medication forms with requests for response were sent to the facility. The first, according to a fax stamp, was sent on 1/16/2017 at 13:06 PM, and the second on 1/16/2017 at 4:10 PM (Photographic evidence obtained). A facility non-coverage form is one that explains the facility cost of the medication, and asks the facility whether they want to switch to a less expensive drug, or whether they will pay for the listed drug. There was no indication that the facility responded to either of these requests. Review of the facility's Medication Pass Guidelines, SHCR .01, stated in part Medications are administered in accordance with the written orders of the physician, and new medications start/ new medication orders begin timely on the same day ordered, unless the next dose would be normally given the next day. (photographic evidence obtained) During an interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 2/9/2017 at 3:47 PM, this surveyor asked why Resident #1 did not receive her anti-[MEDICAL CONDITION] medication, what the facility's normal process was in obtaining special medications, and what the facility did in relation to Resident #1's medication order. The DON stated that Resident #1 was admitted on a Friday afternoon. She said she thought the resident arrived after the evening drug run from the pharmacy, which provided two daily drug runs; one around 8:00 AM, and one around 3:00 PM. The DON went on to say she returned to work on the following Monday, 1/16/2017, and was told by her nurses that the medication was not available from the pharmacy. The DON stated no one told her of any additional cost related to the medication, or non-coverage forms at that time. When the DON was asked why there was no response to the pharmacy's faxed Non-Coverage forms, she stated that she never saw the forms; she only saw those forms when the surveyor requested them from the pharmacy. Then she stated that her name was put at the top of those forms but she never saw them. When she was asked whether the physician was notified that this medication had not been received by the resident, she replied that she thought the physician wrote a new hold order. She was asked to provide the hold order for review, but it was not produced during the survey. This surveyor was unable to locate a hold order in the clinical record. The DON was asked whether she had called the pharmacy regarding the medication's availability once her nursing staff informed her that the medication was not available. She replied, No. She was asked whether a 5-day wait for the medication was considered timely and appropriate, and she replied No, but that was why she tried to get the resident home on 1/18 to get her own supply of the medication. During a telephone interview with the pharmacy (chief pharmacist and billing department) on 2/9/2017 at 1:49 PM, they stated the drug was available. The pharmacy was willing to fill the prescription for Resident #1(Triumeq), but thought the cost of the medication was high. They stated Resident #1 was under managed care, and they first received an order for [REDACTED]. This was communicated via fax to the facility twice on Sunday, 1/16/17. The pharmacy received a discontinuation order for the medication on 1/18/2017. During an interview with the medical director on 2/10/2017 at 11:32 AM, he was asked how important was it for a person to receive prescribed anti-[MEDICAL CONDITION] medication. He stated it was very important, but that the resident's acuity was also a factor to consider. When asked why the anti-[MEDICAL CONDITION] medication was used, the medical director stated they were used to boost the person's immunity. When asked whether he was aware that Resident #1 had not received her medication in five (5) days, he replied that he was not the attending physician, and did not know if the attending physician had been informed on the number of days the resident had gone without the medication. When asked about possible consequences of not receiving the anti-[MEDICAL CONDITION] medication, he stated the resident could have a decline, fever, their [MEDICAL CONDITION] load could increase, and their CD4 could drop.
Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to provide routine drugs to meet the needs of its residents for 1 of 4 residents sampled (Resident #1). Not receiving prescribed medications in a timely manner can result in an unnecessary decline in health, complications in a resident's health status, pain and mental anguish. The findings include: Resident #1 was an HIV (Human Immune Deficiency Virus) positive individual who was prescribed and required the antiviral medication Triumeq tab 600-50-300 mg (milligrams)(Abacavir, Dolutegravir-Lamivud), one tablet by mouth one time a day for management of her HIV. Anti-viral drugs like this one need to be taken as prescribed to prevent the development of drug resistance, to keep the viral load (amount of virus) in the person's body low, and to keep their immune system intact. Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and the physician ordered a start for this medication on 1/14/2017 (photographic evidence obtained). Review of the Medication Administration Record [REDACTED]. The resident was also ordered a CD4 test on 1/17/2017. Review of the lab work revealed there were no results indicating that the ordered CD4 test was completed. CD4 lab tests measure the number of infection fighting cells there are in a person's immune system. Review of progress notes showed two notes (1/15/2017 and 1/16/2017) stating the medication was on order from the pharmacy (photographic evidence obtained). Review of pharmacy communication to the facility showed that two faxes of their Urgent Non-Covered Medication forms with requests for response were sent to the facility. The first, according to a fax stamp, was sent on 1/16/2017 at 13:06 PM, and the second on 1/16/2017 at 4:10 PM (Photographic evidence obtained).
