Inspection of August 5, 2021
6 findingsBased on record review, staff interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to provide necessary nursing services and supervision for 15 of 15 residents with a sample of eight (8) residents residing on the 1st floor unit for the 3-11 shift and the 11-7 shift, on 7/12/21 through 7/13/21. Residents #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, and #8. The facility's failure to provide nursing services and supervision resulted in residents not receiving medications and treatments on 7/12/21 on the 3-11 shift continuing through 6:00 AM on 7/13/21. After the Licensed Practical Nurse on the 3-11 shift was notified she was positive for Covid-19, the facility failed to ensure a replacement was present on the unit. This placed the residents at risk, and in a situation which was likely to cause serious injury, harm, impairment, or death. The State Agency (SA) identified an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) and Substandard Quality of Care (SQC) which began on 7/12/21, when the facility failed to ensure a licensed nurse was available to provide necessary supervision, administer medications, treatments, PEG tube feedings and perform [CONDITION(S)] care. On 7/21/21, at 7:00 PM, the SA informed the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) of the Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) and Substandard Quality of Care (SQC) and provided the facility with the IJ Template. The facility submitted an acceptable Removal Plan on 7/22/21 at 5:16 PM, in which the facility alleged all corrective actions to remove the IJ were completed on 7/22/21 and the IJ removed as of 7/23/21. The SA validated the Removal Plan on 7/24/21 and determined the IJ was removed on 7/23/21, prior to exit. Therefore, the scope and severity for CFR 483.12(a)(1) Abuse and Neglect (F600), was lowered from a L to an F while the facility develops and implements a plan of correction to monitor the effectiveness of the systemic changes to ensure the facility sustains compliance with regulatory requirements. Findings include: Review of the facility policy titled, Injuries, Abuse, Neglect, Mistreatment, Misappropriation of Resident Property or Exploitation of Residents, revised September 2019, revealed .2. POLICY. A. [NAME] Nursing Home (JNH) residents have a right to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment, sexual battery, and misappropriation of property .B. Neglect: The failure of the facility, its employees, or service providers to provide goods and services to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish, or emotional distress. Record review of the facility Investigative Findings dated 7/13/21, BUILDING 34 POSSIBLE NEGLECTS OF MULTIPLE RESIDENTS, revealed that on, 7/13/21, the Administrator advised the Department of Safety & Investigative Services that on 7/12/21, the B-shift nurse for the downstairs unit on B34 tested Covid + and was sent home. It was determined that attempts were made to get nurse coverage for the unit; however, no replacement nurse came for B shift. An agency nurse came at midnight for C-shift, but refused to accept the assignment and left. Therefore, there was no nurse for the downstairs unit on B34 for C shift either . The facility failed to provide sufficient licensed nursing staff for the downstairs' unit of B34 from 6:00 PM - 6:00 AM on 7/13/21. Therefore, neglect by the facility is substantiated. Please do know that each of the Residents on the unit was assessed by (Formal Name of Physician) of the morning of 7/13/21 and none of the residents appear to have suffered an adverse effect as a result of this insufficiency . On 7/20/21 at 6:10 PM, in an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #1 revealed on 7/12/21 at approximately 3:30 PM, License Practical Nurse (LPN) #1 relieved RN #1 and narcotic count was completed. Registered Nurse (RN) #1 revealed when she arrived on the unit on 7/13/21 at 6:00 AM, she was told that there had been no nursing coverage on the unit. She stated she immediately assessed Residents #2 and #4, who had tracheostomies and PEG tubes. She suctioned both tracheostomies and started the feeding pumps for Residents #2, #4 and #8, which were not functioning because there was no water in the bags. On 7/20/21 at 6:40 PM, in an interview with the RN/Administrator (RN/Admin) revealed on 7/12/21 LPN #1 was informed she was Covid-19 positive and was directed to leave the facility immediately, waiting for her relief in her car with the narcotics keys. On 7/12/21 at approximately 7:45 PM, LPN #1 gave the 2nd floor RN #2 the narcotic keys; but did not count the narcotics. The agency relief nurse presented at the facility at approximately 11:00 PM on 7/12/21; but would not accept the narcotic keys nor take the assignment of 1st floor nurse because the medication room was in disarray. The RN/Administrator (RN/Admin) revealed on 7/12/21 from approximately 6:00 PM until 7/13/21 at 6:00 AM there was no licensed nurse on the 1st floor resulting in 15 residents not receiving nursing services and supervision. On 7/21/21 at 9:30 AM, in an interview with the Administrator (Adm) revealed the facility's failure to provide sufficient nursing staff, resulted in medication/treatments being missed for approximately 12 hours from 7/12/21 at 6:00 PM until 7/13/21 at 6:00 AM. The Adm revealed the facility failed to ensure sufficient nursing staff was available to provide necessary nursing services.

CNA #2 revealed there was an RN on the 2nd floor of Building 34. In the event of an emergency, RN #2 told CNA #2 to come get her. RN #2 came to the 1st floor and medicated a resident for pain, then RN #2 went back to the 2nd floor. There were no problems with any of the other residents on the 1st floor, the tube feedings were not empty, nor did the tube feeding machines made any beeps, and the [CONDITION(S)] residents had no problems.

LPN #1 stated that she waited in her car until approximately 8:00PM when RN #2 came to her car and received the narcotic keys from LPN #1, then LPN #1 left the campus. On 7/21/21 at 3:00 PM, in an interview with RN #2 revealed when she was aware that LPN #1 was unable to work her scheduled shift, she informed the RN/Admin and was informed by the RN/Admin and DON #2 on call, that an agency nurse would report to the facility and would be responsible for the 1st floor Building 34 residents. Then, when the agency nurse failed to work on 1st floor Building 34, she was informed by the RN/Admin, that she was not responsible for 1st floor Building 34 medications and/or treatments. Record review of the facility's daily schedule for 7/12/21 on the 3:00 PM through 11:00 PM shift and 7/13/21 for the 11:00 PM through 6:00 AM shift for Building 34, 1st floor revealed that LPN #1 was assigned for both shifts.

Removal Plan The facility submitted an acceptable Removal Plan on 7/22/21 for the IJ. Review of the facility's Removal Plan revealed the facility took the following actions to remove the IJ: In response to the Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) template provided to the Administrator cited on July 21,2021 at 7:00 p.m., the following is a summary of the event and the actions taken by the facility to remove the Immediate Jeopardy. Brief Summary Madison Inn building 34 had insufficient licensed nursing staff on 7/12/2021 from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. which gives us neglect of Residents #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 on the first floor of building 34. Medications and treatments were missed for Residents #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 during this time frame. [CONDITION(S)] care was not provided on Residents #2 and #4 during the time frame. The following corrective actions were taken for Residents #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 affected by the insufficient licensed nursing staff and other facility Residents who could be potentially affected by insufficient licensed nursing staff in the future. 1.On July 13, 2021 at 6:15am RN#1 assessed Residents #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 and gave 6 am medications and treatments to Residents #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 and no negative outcomes or harm noted. RN#1 notified the attending physician that building 34 had insufficient licensed nursing staff on 7/12/2021 from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. on 7/13/2021, the first floor. Medications and treatments were missed for Residents #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 during this time frame. [CONDITION(S)] care was not provided on Residents #2 and #4 during the time frame. On 7/13/2021 at 9:00 a.m. attending phy
Based on record review, schedule review, staff interview, facility policy review, and timecard review the facility failed to ensure a licensed nurse was present to administer medications and treatments, monitor and provide necessary supervision, and provide Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) feedings for 15 of 15 residents on the 1st floor Building 34 on the 3-11 shift on 7/12/21 through 6:00 AM on 7/13/21. The facility's failure to provide a licensed nurse to administer medications and treatments for 12 hours had the likelihood to cause all residents residing on the 1st Floor of Building 34 serious harm, serious injury, serious impairment, or possible death. The State Agency (SA) identified an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) which began on 7/12/21, when the facility failed to provide a licensed nurse to monitor and provide necessary supervision, administer medications, Percutaneous Endoscopy Gastroscopy (PEG) tube feedings and perform [CONDITION(S)] care. On 7/21/21 at 7:00 PM, the SA informed the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) of the Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) and provided the facility with the IJ Template. The facility submitted an acceptable Removal Plan on 7/22/2021 at 5:16 PM, in which the facility alleged all corrective actions to remove the IJ were completed and the IJ removed as of 7/23/21. The SA validated the Removal Plan on 7/24/21 and determined the IJ was removed on 7/23/21 prior to exit. Therefore, the scope and severity for CFR(s) §483.35(a)(1) Sufficient Nursing Staff (F725), was lowered from a L to an F while the facility develops and implements a plan of correction to monitor the effectiveness of the systemic changes to ensure the facility sustains compliance with regulatory requirements. Findings: Review of facility policy titled, [NAME] Nursing Home (JNH) Administrator on Call, revised August 2020, 1. Purpose and Applicability. This policy establishes guidelines for the Administrator of Call (AOC) to provide management continuity at all times. This policy applies to the management staff of [NAME] Nursing Home (JNH). 2. Policy. It is the policy of JNH to ensure the availability and accessibility of administrative support on a continuing basis, not only to provide prompt decisions requiring policy interpretations but also to deal with administrative emergencies which arise at times other than normal business hours .

Any instances of non-compliance with required minimum numbers of licensed personnel will be immediately reported by the AOC to the JNH Director. Review of the facility policy titled, Accountability for Nursing Personnel Assignment dated August 2020, revealed 1. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY.

It was determined that attempts were made to get nurse coverage for the unit; however, no replacement nurse came for B shift. An agency nurse came at midnight for C-shift, but refused to accept the assignment and left. Therefore, there was no nurse for the downstairs unit on B34 for C shift either . The facility failed to provide sufficient licensed nursing staff for the downstairs' unit of B34 from 6:00 PM - 6:00 AM on 7/13/21. Therefore, neglect by the facility is substantiated.

Resident #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, and #8. The facility's failure to provide nursing services and administer significant medications on eight (8) residents on the 3-11 shift on 7/12/21 through 6:00 AM on 7/13/21. This placed these residents and all other residents who reside on the first floor of Building 34, at risk, and in a situation which was likely to cause serious injury, harm, impairment, or death. The State Agency (SA) identified an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) and Substandard Quality of Care (SQC) which began on 7/12/21 when the facility failed to ensure a licensed nurse was available to provide necessary supervision and administer medications. On 07/21/21 at 7:00 PM, the SA informed the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) of the Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) and Substandard Quality of Care (SQC) and provided the facility with the IJ Template. The facility submitted an acceptable Removal Plan on 7/22/21 at 5:16 PM, in which the facility alleged all corrective actions to remove the IJ were completed on 7/22/21 and the IJ removed as of 7/23/21.

Based on record review, staff interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to provide respiratory care to residents with tracheostomies (trachs) on the 1st floor, building 34 for two (2) of two (2) residents on the 3-11 shift on 7/12/21 until 6 AM on 7/13/21. Residents #2 and #4. The facility's failure to provide respiratory care and supervision resulted in two (2) residents not receiving proper [CONDITION(S)] care on the 3-11 shift on 7/12/21 until 6 AM on 7/13/21, placed these residents at risk and in a situation which was likely to cause serious injury, harm, impairment, or death. The State Agency (SA) identified an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) and Substandard Quality of Care (SQC) which began on 7/12/21 when the facility failed to provide a licensed nurse to perform [CONDITION(S)] care on two (2) residents. On 7/21/21 at 7:00 PM, the SA informed the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) of the Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) and Substandard Quality of Care (SQC) and provided the facility with the IJ Template. The facility submitted an acceptable Removal Plan on 7/22/21 at 5:16 PM, in which the facility alleged all corrective actions to remove the IJ were completed on 7/22/21 and the IJ was removed as of 7/23/21. The SA validated the Removal Plan on 7/24/21 and determined the IJ was removed on 7/23/21, prior to exit. Therefore, the scope and severity for CFR (s) § 483.25(i) Respiratory care, including [CONDITION(S)] care and tracheal suctioning (695), was lowered from a L to an F while the facility develops a plan of correction to monitor the effectiveness of the systemic changes to ensure the facility sustains compliance with regulatory requirements.

It was determined that attempts were made to get nurse coverage for the unit; however, no replacement nurse came for B shift. An agency nurse came at midnight for C-shift but refused to accept the assignment and left. Therefore, there was no nurse for the downstairs unit on B34 for C shift either . The facility failed to provide sufficient licensed nursing staff for the downstairs' unit of B34 from 6:00 PM - 6:00 AM on 7/13/21. Therefore, neglect by the facility is substantiated.

Inspection of August 19, 2011
4 findingsCI MS #9663 Based on observation, interview, record review and policy review the facility failed to implement policies and procedures that prohibited neglect and to provide adequate supervision to prevent one (1) of six (6) residents, Resident #1, from leaving the facility unsupervised and without staff knowledge. Resident #1 had been assessed and care planned as a wander risk with a history of wandering and had no implemented interventions monitoring her specific wander risk. Two (2) nurses in Building 34, (Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #1 and LPN #2, were not aware of Resident #1's wandering risk. Resident #1 left Building 34 on 8/10/11 at approximately 4:45 p.m. without staff knowledge and was seen by another resident, Resident #2, who reported Resident #1's exit from the building. Resident #1 was found by LPN #1 and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #1 behind Building 34 getting into an unlocked car which was approximately 175 paces from the facility's front door where she had exited. The estimated time that Resident #1 was outside the building was less than five (5) minutes. Resident #1 was returned to Building 34 by LPN #1 and CNA #1 with no injuries. The lack of the implementation to supervise and ensure that measures were put into place to prevent Resident #1 from leaving the building unsupervised and unassisted was deemed Substandard Quality of Care and an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 8/18/11 at 9:00 a.m. The Administrator was notified of the IJ at that time.
