Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents wear appropriate footwear to prevent falls, for one of three residents reviewed for falls (R3) in the sample of 18. This failure resulted in R3 falling and sustaining a subarachnoid hemorrhage and subdural hematoma.Findings include:R3's face sheet documents R3 is an [AGE] year-old with diagnoses including but not limited to: Other Pulmonary Embolism with Acute Cor Pulmonale, Essential (Primary) Hypertension, Stenosis of Coronary Artery Stent, Sequela and Dementia in Other Diseases Classified Elsewhere. R3's MDS (Minimum Data Set of 1.22.2026) documents a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 3 indicating severe cognitive impairment.2.25.2026 facility's final incident report documents, in part: the facility completed its investigation through medical record review and interviews. It was determined that (R3) was in a supervised area and abruptly stood up to ambulate and lost her balance. Prior to the fall, (R3) was sitting in a chair with her walker. The other staff in the surrounding area provided witness statements that (R3) got up to ambulate and lost her balance and fell before staff could intervene. (R3) was observed with a raised area to the back of her head. She denied pain or discomfort. Due to the resident being on a blood thinner she was ordered to be sent to the hospital. Received report from the hospital that (R3) had a nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.3.5.2026 at 12:19 PM, V12 (Restorative Nurse) said regarding R3's fall of 2.17.2026, that's another fall that occurred when I was not here. My recollection is that staff said she had just got up, that she was coming from her room, walking down hallway near the nurses' station, and she fell somewhere at the nurses' station. The nurse said she was facing away from the resident and did not see R3 fall but heard it and went to help the resident. I was told that R3 may not have been wearing appropriate footwear. So, my intervention probably was to ensure that resident is wearing appropriate footwear. We encourage our residents to wear closed shoes, if issues with swelling, then non-skid socks.3.5.2026 at 2:53 PM, V4 (LPN-Licensed Practical Nurse) said R3 had a fall. It was dinnertime. R3 was walking with her walker down the hallway to the dining room for dinner. I didn't see her fall; I had my back to her. I heard her walker; I saw her on the floor. R3 was unable to tell what happened but said she did not hit her head. She was wearing slides (Slide shoes (or sliders) are open-toed, backless footwear characterized by a thick strap across the top of the foot for easy, slip-on, and slip-off use.). That was her preferred footwear. When asked if slides were appropriate footwear for resident, V4 said honestly, no, she shouldn't have been wearing slides. She was sent to the hospital for evaluation and treatment for an unwitnessed fall on blood thinners.3.10.2026 at 9:13 AM via telephone V31 (Nurse Practitioner) said, I received a voice message from the nurse at the facility that R3 was sent to the hospital for a witnessed fall with head strike. Given her history of blood thinners, it was the right thing to do. I always send them out with a hit to the head and on blood thinners because there's a chance that they could have a bleed (brain hemorrhage) and if left untreated they could die. Given her age, she should have proper foot gear, something with a grip, a closed toe/heel shoe or socks with a grip so that they (residents) can ambulate properly and reduce the likelihood of a fall. I'm not sure what a slide is. Surveyor explained what a slide is. V31 said I wasn't there but that form of footwear is not appropriate.2.17.2026 4:40 PM, Nursing Progress Note (completed by V4) documents, in part: Resident was ambulating with walker.

These guidelines document, in part: Policy: It is the policy of the facility to ensure that any incident/accident to include falls is reported immediately to the nurse or appropriate person designated to be in charge. After the resident has had immediate attention and their safety is established, a written report will be entered into Risk Management (usually Risk Management section of PCC). The facility will ensure that incidents and accidents that occur involving residents are identified, reported, investigated and resolved. The facility will create a database related to incidents/accidents as part of the QAPI process to enable trending and tracking. This information will be used to implement corrective actions to include any needed training to prevent reoccurrences when possible. 3.5.2026 at 1:43 PM, V2 (DON-Director of Nursing) said, the policy I gave you yesterday (Guidelines for Incidents/Accidents/Falls-undated) is the only fall policy we have.R3's care plan I am at risk for falls related to the following potential/present contributing risk factors: generalized weakness, changes in environment, and adjustment to facility, P.

Findings include: Findings include: On 01/27/2026 at 2:02PM, Facility Reported Incidents/FRIs were requested from V1 (Administrator) for the past 3 months. V1 provides surveyor with three incident reports via scanned email, that are dated 12/02/25, 12/16/25, and 01/14/2026. V1 states these are the only facility reported incidents that occurred in the facility for the past 3 months. During record review of facility's reported incidents, surveyor observes that they were not submitted to the correct email address. On 01/29/2026 at 2:12PM V1 states she was made aware of R7's incident by V2 (DON). V1 states she reported R7's incident to the state agency via email on 12/16/2025, the same day it was reported to her. V1 is made aware that the state agency is not in receipt of the reported incidents. V1 is asked by surveyor to access her emails electronically and send surveyor email confirmation of the successful submission of the reported incident for R7 to the state agency. V1 states she is unable to access her emails at the current moment and will check for the email confirmation later. On 01/29/2026 at 3:32PM, surveyor receives an email from V1 stating she did not receive email confirmation from the state agency that the reported incident for R7 was received. V1 states the email was kicked back to her email and not sent successfully to the state agency. V1 states R7's reported incident was also sent from V2's email to the state agency. V1 emails surveyor a scanned email documenting a time stamp of an undeliverable blank email to the state agency. V1 also emails surveyor a scanned email documenting a time stamp of a blank email being sent from V2's email to the correct state agency's email. Both scanned emails do not have R7's facility reported incident attached showing proof of submission to the state agency. On 01/29/2026 at 4:07PM, surveyor requests V1 to directly forward surveyor the email that was sent from V2's email to show confirmation of R7's reportable incident that was sent to the state agency. Surveyor asks V1 not to scan the email and send it to surveyor, but to forward the exact email with R7's reportable attached that was sent to the state agency. This email was not provided to surveyor during this survey. On 01/29/2026 at 4:42PM, record review confirms that a facility reported incident for R7 was not received by the state agency from the facility.

V1 states she never received confirmation that the email was sent to the state agency. V1 states herself and V2 share responsibilities with submitting the facility reported incidents to the state agency. V1 states since being informed by surveyor of using the incorrect email, she has now obtained a fax number to use instead of the email. V1 states the fax number is 708-544-92XX and V1 is made aware by surveyor that this is also an incorrect fax number for communication with the state agency. Surveyor then provides V1 and V2 with the correct fax number to submit reported incidents to the state agency. Surveyor provides V1 and V2 with the fax number 630-645-37XX and V1 successfully repeats the fax number back to surveyor for verification that V1 received the correct fax number. V1 is made aware that the facility not successfully submitting reported incidents to the state agency further puts all residents in the facility at risk for abuse and injuries. V1 states going forward, the facility will now use the fax number provided by surveyor to report facility reported incidents to the state agency.

Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to provide sufficient staffing to ensure ADL (Activities of Daily Living) needs are met in a timely manner for two residents (R4, R8) and medications are being administered as ordered by the physician. The facility's short staffing has the potential to affect all residents residing on the first floor of the facility.Findings include:On 01/25/26 at 10:07 AM, via telephone interview V3 (Staffing Coordinator/Central Supply) stated she does the staffing schedule for all the nurses including RD/LPN and CNAs. V3 stated the nurses do 12 hours shifts 7AM-7PM and 7PM-7AM and the CNAs do 7-3, 3-11 and 7-11 shifts. There are three floors in the building and the second and third floors usually have a higher acuity level than the first floor, so those floors are staffed with more CNAs. V3 stated the first floor is staffed with one nurse depending on the what the census is and V3 will sometimes go up to two nurses. V3 stated when there are 32 residents or more on the first floor that unit will be staffed with two nurses on the 7AM-7PM and 7PM-7AM shifts. V3 stated the first floors runs with three CNAs on the 7-3 and 3-11 shift and two to three CNAs on the 11-7 shift.On 01/25/26 at 10:30 AM, observed one Licensed Practical Nurse (V4) and two Certified Nursing Assistants (V7, V9) working on the first-floor unit. Review of the daily assignment sheet had one nurse (V4) and three CNAs listed on the form. Census not included on the daily assignment sheet.On 01/25/26 at 10:35 AM, facility provided surveyor with document titled, Daily Census dated 01/24/26 which indicated the first floor had 40 residents.On 01/25/26 at 10:45 AM, via telephone interview V3 stated today there is one LPN scheduled to work on the first floor, there were no nursing call outs that is what was scheduled. V3 stated if there are 40 residents on the first floor then it should be staffed with two nurses for continuity of care. V3 stated if the first floor is only staffed with one nurse with the census at 40 there is the potential that there will be an overall delay in care, including the dispensing of medicine which may also be delayed. V3 stated there was a CNA who called out this morning on the first floor, so she found another CNA who agreed to come in to help out.On 01/25/26 at 10:50 AM, V4 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated they usually have two nurses working on the first floor on the 7AM-7PM shift but today she was the only nurse scheduled. V4 stated she is not aware of any nurse calling out sick she just does not think one was scheduled. V4 stated there is another nurse (V5/LPN) who was working on the 2nd floor who just came downstairs to help because she (V4) is behind with passing morning medications. V4 stated she is getting ready to start passing medications from the second medication cart. V4 stated she has not passed any of her 9 AM medication to those residents yet but she is getting ready to start doing that now.On 01/25/26 at 10:55 AM, V5 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated today she is assigned to the second floor. V5 stated she was told that the first-floor nurse needed help so when she was done passing her 9AM medications she came down to the first floor at 10:30 AM to help the nurse (V4). V5 stated she has two residents on the first medication cart which still need their medication passed out to them and after that she will be starting to do Accu-Chek readings for the diabetics before lunch is served.On 01/25/26 at 12:07 AM, V4 stated she is still passing out 9 AM medications to the residents. V4 stated the 9 AM medications are late because of staffing. V4 stated she had to pass two carts of medication since it was only her and as a result she fell behind.On 01/25/26 at 12:21 PM, V11 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated she has been working at the facility since April 2025 and she usually works the 3-11 shift on the first floor. V11 stated V3 Staffing Coordinator/Central Supply) called her this morning and asked her to come in to work early. V11 stated she arrived at the facility at 11:00 AM. V11 stated before she arrived there were two CNAs covering the first-floor unit. V11 stated she is now taking care of 14 residents of which nine residents require total care and two residents require assistance with care. V11 stated she has checked on all her residents and changed three of them and the other CNAs had changed three other residents before she arrived, so she still has five more residents to change. V11 stated on the 7-3 and 3-11 shift the minimum number of CNAs they run the floor with is three with a maximum four CNAs.On 01/25/26 at 12:30 PM, V9 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated when she arrived there was one other CNA covering the unit with her this morning. V9 stated they are supposed to have at least three CNAs on the first floor. V9 stated she was told there was a CNA who called out. V9 stated because of the call out there were two CNAs to cover 40 residents meaning they each had 20 residents to take care of.

Per R3's daughter, R3 has been more confused over the past several days. Left leg edema progressive over the past week. Vital signs with hypotension, bradycardia, and left lower leg edema on arrival. Concern for cardiogenic shock. Nephrology to admit R3 to the intensive care unit and place a line for hemodialysis. admitted to intensive care unit for further care. (R3 was admitted to the hospital on [DATE] at 1:02 pm) Nephrology was consulted and recommended dialysis and admission to the intensive care unit. Likely cardiorenal syndrome in acute renal failure, line to be placed by intensive care unit team for emergent dialysis. Interviews: On [DATE] at 10:13 AM, V3 [R3's Family Member] stated, I noticed around the end of July, prior to R3 being sent out the end of August, that something was wrong, and he had swelling all over his body. I told the V11 [Licensed Practical Nurse] that R3's stomach was hard and swollen. V11 called R3's physician and he ordered labs, stomach x-ray, and intravenous fluids. The nurses told me the R3 was fine, he was dehydrated and needed the fluids. I trusted they were telling me the truth, because R3 had no other symptoms during that time, the end of July. The nursing staff and nurse practitioners kept telling me it was R3's congested heart failure and refused to send him to the hospital. On [DATE], I came to visit R3, and he could not speak, R3 always could talk. He was closing his eyes, and making sounds, but I could not understand one word coming out of his mouth, and he was really swollen in his arms, legs and abdomen area, the edema was worse. I asked V24 [Agency Licensed Practical Nurse] has R3 been like this all day, V24 said yes, and he just thought R3 was very tired. I told V24 this was not R3's normal state, something is wrong with R3, and go get some one that can help. V9 [Nurse Practitioner] came to see R3. V9 told me she would order stat labs and they should be back today to make sure R3 is okay. I asked V9 if R3 should be sent to the hospital, V9 told me she wanted to wait a few hours on the lab results. I explained I was concerned because R3 was very swollen, cannot speak, and keept closing and opening his eye. The nurse practitioner told me she would order labs stat. However, no one called me with the results on [DATE]. The next afternoon on [DATE], V24 nurse called me and said they was sending R3 to the hospital due abnormal labs related to his kidney function. I believe no one followed up on his labs, V9 told me the results would come in a few hours. I feel the facility did not listen to me or cared about R3; they should have done something to help him about four weeks ago when he first started swelling up all over his body. I was the only one who noticed his edema and change in mental status, I am afraid if I did not demand for someone to see him on [DATE], he would have died in the facility. The facility never scheduled any of his important appointments with the Nephrologist, Cardiologist, or Pulmonogist to manage his health conditions, they were responsible to schedule all R3's appointments. R3 arrived in the emergency department and R3 was admitted to the intensive care unit to start a line for emergency hemodialysis. Now R3 needs hemodialysis three times per week, because of the facility's neglect. [R3's family member [V3] noticed change of condition, facility staff did not] On [DATE] at 1:56 PM, V15 [Appointment Scheduler/Central Supply] stated, I knew about R3's appointments and consults that needed to be scheduled. I received R3's first order dated for [DATE] from V33 [Licensed Practical Nurse]. According to my notes, R3 had additional orders for nephrology, pulmonary, cardiology and pulmonary test ordered, the appointments was not scheduled. I did not schedule R3's consult appointments, I believe it was due to his insurance, I am not sure. I did not notify V2 [Director of Nursing] or the any staff nurse that his appointments was not scheduled, I really cannot remember the reason I did not schedule R3 appointments. On [DATE] at 1:04 PM, V11 [Former Licensed Practical Nurse] stated, On [DATE], R3 appeared to look swollen, but he had edema in his legs and arms for a couple of weeks. Other than R3 being swollen he was stable, he was not experiencing any nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, he ate his meals. Around 6PM, R3's family member [V3] was concerned that R3's abdomen was swollen. During my assessment I noted his abdomen was swollen and hard. The swollen abdomen was new that V3 [R3's Family Member] had noticed. I called V2 [Director of Nursing] for V17 [Medical Director] direct phone number, because I was having difficulties getting in contact with V17. V2 gave me his number, and V2 was made aware of R3' swollen abdomen, she did not ask me any questions regarding R3's condition. I spoke with V17 and explained R3 has distended abdomen that feels ridged and hard and have no other symptoms. V17 gave orders for stat x ray of R3's abdomen and intravenous D5.45 normal saline [Dextrose 5% and 0.45% sodium Chloride] @80 ml/hour for 48 hours continuous. Orders also received for stat CBC, BMP. Orders noted and carried out. I did not see the results of the labs because I got off work at 7PM. Once the results are completed the nurse can see the results on the computer system's dashboard and or under the resident's name in the results tab. I gave report to V31 [[Licensed Practical Nurse] to check for R3's labs and test results and to call V17 with the results. V31 said she understood and will call V17. I documented V17 orders, I did obtain nor document any vital signs, V17 did not ask about R3's vital signs because I would have obtained them and documented. R3 seemed to be relaxed and not in distress. [R3's family member [V3] identified R3's change of condition, facility staff did not recognize R3's swelling] On [DATE] at 3:38 PM, V31 [Former Licensed Practical Nurse] stated, I worked with R3 on [DATE], from 7PM to 7:30 AM. I received in report from V11[ Licensed Practical Nurse] earlier that R3 family observed R3 with a hard distended abdomen and V17 [Medical Director/R3's Physician] ordered intravenous fluids, I assumed it was for dehydration, I really did not know the exact reason. Also, R3 was ordered stat labs and stat diagnostic x ray of his abdomen, and for me to call V17 with the results. After report, I logged onto the computer system, the dashboard shows all the labs that needs to be relayed. I checked for R3 labs and abdomen x ray, but they were not posted. I remember, at the start of my shift the IV company came and inserted a picc line in R3's arm, and I started his fluids right away. R3 was alert and oriented x3, speaking to me, he looked stable, I did not take his vital signs. I got busy during my shift and did not check the dashboard or R3's chart [results tab] for his stat lab results. [Family observed R3's change of condition, V31 did not address R3's labs] On [DATE] at 3:14 PM V16 [Licensed Practical Nurse] stated, I worked with R3 on [DATE] for day shift [7am-7pm]. I remember administrating intravenous [IV] fluids to R3 for dehydration. There is usually a nurse practitioner in the facility, and they review and address the labs. The labs are available on the computer system dashboard, and under each resident result tab, but I did not review labs for R3, I did not know he had stat labs ordered on [DATE]. On [DATE] at 3:20 PM, V8 [Registered Nurse] stated, I worked with R3 on [DATE] and [DATE] from 7pm to 7am night shift and I did administer R3 IV fluids for dehydration. All resident labs appear on the computer system dashboard and under each resident chart. I did not check the system dashboard for any labs that was not relayed, because the day shift nurse usually takes care of the labs, not the night nurses. I did not check for R3's labs. On [DATE] at 10:24 AM, V9 [Nurse Practitioner] stated, I been working here through an outside agency, I'm contracted through the facility. R3 was alert and oriented x3, able to make his needs known. R3 was admitted with the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease, congested heart failure, and prostate cancer. On [DATE], V11 [Licensed Practical Nurse] alerted me that she received orders on [DATE] for abdominal Xray and Intravenous fluids Dextrose 0.45% saline at 80ml/hour for 48-hours and now R3's family is concerns that his abdomen is swollen. I do not understand why R3 was ordered intravenous fluids, and he has a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease and congested heart failure, let make it clear, I did not order those fluids. I reviewed the abdominal Xray results showed scattered air in the colon, but difficult to evaluate. Due to the results not giving much information, I ordered a stat abdominal ultrasound, because he had edema in abdominal area and lower extremities. I never received a phone call from the nurses regarding R3's results. On [DATE] I reviewed R3 results remotely, and the results showed large amount out of ascites, marginally enlarged liver without abnormality, and mild dilation of the extrahepatic bile duct. After I reviewed the ultrasound results, on that day I was off and on vacation. I knew R3 was a low sodium diet, diuretics, and awaiting nephrology consult. At the bottom of the ultrasound report, the diagnostic company printed that the results were faxed over to V17 [Medical Director/R3's Physician] office. I did not notify V17 [Medical Director/R3's Physician], V18 [Physician], V10 [Nurse Practitioner], V2 [Director of Nursing] nor any nursing staff, I was out of town and on vacation. However, they all knew I was on vacation. [R3's Family Member [V3] identified R3's change of condition] On [DATE] at 1:44 PM V12 [Registered Dietitian] stated, I am contracted to work with the facility since [DATE]. I usually review the resident's chart online and make adjustments and recommendations based on the resident's clinical chart, I basically work remote. However, there is another dietitian that attends the weekly weight meeting, but we all collaborate on the resident's comprehensive health via phone and or email. During the weight meetings, nursing administration V2 [Director of Nursing] and V14 [Assistant Director of Nursing], are present as well, for any nursing issues that the dietitian is not made aware of or any acute changes that need to be addressed regarding nutrition, wounds or weight. On [DATE], I reviewed R3's chart online remotely, and noted there was a 17-pound weight increase. The oral intake log documented R3 had a good appetite. I also reviewed, V10 [Nurse Practitioner] progress note dated [DATE] at 09:19, V10's assessment notes there was no documentation of concern regarding R3' weight. The note documented no edema. V10 also documented, the weight of 236.0 pounds in her assessment note, with no concerns regarding R3's weight was noted. Once the medical provided did not express any concerns with R3 weight, and documented no edema, just the day before my review and R3 was on a no added salt diet, I did not change or add any new recommendations. The standard of care is that upon all new admissions and re-admissions the residents should be weighted weekly for four weeks then monthly if there's no concerns. R3 was admitted on [DATE] and weighed 219.0 pounds. The facility did not follow their weight protocol, R3's weight was not taken the weeks of [DATE] or [DATE], then R3 was admitted to the hospital on [DATE] and readmitted back on [DATE]. R3 weight was not taken on re-admission ([DATE]) and R3's weight was not taken during the weeks of [DATE], or [DATE]. Then on [DATE] R3's weight was taken at 236.2 pound. The facility nursing administration is made aware of all the weights and any recommendation, it is the nursing responsibility to notify physicians, nurse practitioners and family of weight changes. On [DATE] at 11:11AM, V14 [Assistant Director of Nursing] stated, I been working her since [DATE]. I do not see where the stat labs were addressed. I see that V9 [Nurse Practitioner] reviewed the stat labs on [DATE], because it is documented in the upper left corner of the lab. However, any provider and licensed staff is able to view any labs in the resident electronic chart under the result tab. The weight policy protocol is the restorative aides complete the weights for the facility. The restorative aides obtain the weights, they do not document the weights. Then they give the weights to me, and I review the resident previous weights. If there is a five-pound increase or decrease, in the resident's weight I have the resident re-weighed. Once the resident weight is confirmed, I would review the resident's medical diagnosis and call their physician and dietitian. R3's weight upon admission was 219.0 lbs. ([DATE]) [pounds], on [DATE] R3's weight was [236.2 pounds] verified on [DATE] [236.2 pounds]. R3's other weights were [DATE] [236.0 pounds], [DATE] [238.2 pounds], and on [DATE] [238.2 pounds]. I entered R3's weight for [DATE] and [DATE], but I did not look back at his previous weight, that was an oversight. V2 [Director of Nursing] was overseeing the resident's weight monitoring, I was only entering the weights into the resident's chart. When the physician or nurse practitioner give an order to monitor vital signs that mean blood pressure, heart rate, pulse, oxygen saturation percentage, respirations, and temperature. When there is a picc line inserted and intravenous fluids ordered, the nurses should closely monitor the resident condition, all vital signs, the picc line site, signs and symptoms of fluid overload and document in the resident progress notes. Any change in condition such as a change in vital signs, edema noted, or mental status change the physician or nurse practitioner should be notified immediately and documented in the resident's progress note. On [DATE] at 11:34 AM V2 [Director of Nursing] stated, R3's physician orders for needed appointments with nephrology, cardiology, and pulmonary, should've been scheduled, I am not sure. R3 went back to the hospital at the end of June to beginning of July. V15 [Appointment Scheduler/Central Supply] would know if the appointments were scheduled. My expectation is that soon as an order is placed for a consult or needed appointment, that V15 need to schedule the appointment soon as possible. The process to schedule an appointment is when the provider writes an order for a needed appointment, the nurse will place in the order and notify V15. I have not received any concerns from physicians or nurse practitioners that the orders for consult appointments was not being scheduled. If medical consult appointments are not scheduled, that does not mean a delay in treatment, because the resident is being managed here in the facility. I was not overseeing the resident weight. The former restorative nurse[V32] was responsible to oversee the weights. Weekly, the restorative nurse, [V32] dietician, assistant director of nursing, and I would meet and reviewed the weights, wounds, and gastric tube feeders which were the facility's nutritional at risk residents. I would write down any recommendations from the dietitian. If the dietician does not give any recommendation, then, there is nothing to report to the physician. The physicians and nurse practitioners are able to access the resident's complete chart while in the facility and remotely. All physicians and nurse practitioners are responsible to review the residents chart including the weights, I don't remember if R3 had a significant weight gain. All weights are documented in the resident's chart under the weight tab. If the dietitian did not have any recommendation for us to pass on to the physician, then it was nothing for us to report. If the dietician report recommendation for a significant weight increase or decrease, then the physician will be notified. I will check our significant weight change policy to see who is responsible for notifying the physician. I did not receive any information from nursing staff, providers or R3s' family that R3 was swollen all over his body. On [DATE], V11 [Former Licensed Practical Nurse] contacted me about R3's abdomen was only swollen and wanted V17 [Medical Director/R3's Physician] phone number. I did not discuss R3's weight gain with V11, I cannot remember every resident's weight. Again, the physician can access the resident's complete chart, and can review the dietician notes. My expectation of the staff nurses that receive an order for a stat labs or diagnostic test are to relay the results to the ordering provider soon as possible. The staff nurses should be on the lookout for the labs results to post on the facility's system dashboard. Again, the physicians or nurse practitioners should also follow up on their resident's stat orders they as well can check the dashboard remotely at any time. [Surveyor requested a copy of the facility's weight management policy] On [DATE] at 12:51 PM, V2 [Director of Nursing attended V30's interview] V30 [Restorative Aide] stated, I been working here for six months. I go around the facility and obtain the resident's weights, then I gave the weights to V32 [Former Restorative Nurse], and she would place them in the resident's electronic chart. I just found this paper with some of R3's weights written down. R3 was admitted on [DATE] and I took his weights on [DATE] R3 weighed 223.6 pounds, [DATE], 223.4 pounds, [DATE] 223.4 pounds, and on [DATE], R3 weighed 221.6 pounds. R3 came back from the hospital in July with the weight gain. I forgot to document all those weights in R3's electronic chart from June and [DATE]. Surveyor asked about R3's weight in the computer system documented his weight on [DATE], R3 weight was 219.0 pounds. V30 stated, I am not sure how R3 weighed 219.0 pounds on [DATE]. Surveyor asked V30 how she obtained R3's weight on [DATE], because he was still in the hospital, and R3 did not readmitted back into the facility until [DATE]. V30 stated, I don't know, I'm done, this is too much. V2 [Director of Nursing] stated, Give me the paper back. [Surveyor declined V2's request] V2 [Director of Nursing] stated, I spoke to fast, per my nurse consultant, the facility no longer have a policy on weight management, weight protocol, or significant weight loss. On [DATE] at 4:22 PM V32 [Former Restorative Nurse] stated, I worked at the facility for about six weeks. My last day was [DATE]. I was a part of the weight team. The facility weight policy was to weight the admissions weekly for four weeks then monthly. Most of the time that did not occur. Residents were not weighed weekly for four weeks. If a resident's weight showed a five-pound increase or decrease the restorative aide would re-weight the resident to make sure the weight was accurate. The restorative aids were not allowed to place in a resident's weight into the computer system. V2 [Director of Nursing], V14 [Assistant Director of Nursing], and I documented the weights in the resident's electronic chart. Weight was not kept or stored on sheets of paper. I attended the weekly weight meetings. The director of nursing [V2], assistant director of nursing, dietitian and I would attend the meeting. I remember R3, had a significant weight increase, review his weights, and notice R3's weight was taken a few times in just a few days to verify R3's weight. During the meetings V2 [Director of Nursing] would take notes on all the weight gains and weight loss. V2 was responsible to notify the physician of the resident's weight gain or loss, I was not responsible. On [DATE] t 12:15 PM, V10 [Nurse Practitioner] stated, When I exam any resident I first review the resident's chart, such as labs and test results as a standard practice. I had a visit with R3 on [DATE], R3 seemed to be doing well. I ordered for R3 to be scheduled to see Pulmonogist and to complete a pulmonary function test due to him having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. On [DATE] I reordered the R3 to be scheduled to see Pulmonogist and to complete a pulmonary function test, because I did not see that the test or appointment was completed. I do not recall ordering the intravenous fluids for R3, I do not remember. If I order IV fluids, I would have documented as such. On [DATE] visit I documented no weight change and current weight was 219.0, on ,d+[DATE] I documented no weight change, and current weight was 219.0, on [DATE] I documented no weight change, and I documented in the same note R3's current weight wa [TRUNCATED]

I have a wound on my butt, and my wound needs to stay covered and cleaned. My dressing came off and none of the nurses would clean my wound a put another dressing on me, they all told me to wait until the treatment nurse come in today. The urine and feces burn like hell in my wound. I had this wound for years since I been here, this is why my wound will not heal. On 9/11/24 at 8:15 AM, surveyor observed V26 [Certified Nurse Assistant] complete incontinence care for R2's. V26 and surveyor observed R2's under brief soak with urine that leaked out on to the fitted sheet. Once V26 turned R2 over his buttocks area wound was uncovered.

R3 stated, Help me, no one have cleaned me up all night long and this bowel movement is eating me up all over my a**, it is itching and burning so bad. On 9/11/24 at 7:38 AM, V7 [Certified Nurse Assistant] and surveyor observed R3's incontinence care. Observed R3's under brief filled with feces and urine. The feces and urine were leaking out onto the incontinence pad with four brown colored circle rings. Observed R3 with redden small open superficial arear to peri area, groin, and buttocks. V7 stated, I will go get the night nurse, R3 was not changed at all last night, the night nurse needs to see this. On 9/11/24 at 7:45 AM, V8 [Registered Nurse] stated, I saw the night certified assistant enter into this room to clean R3 up. The night certified assistant did not touch him at all. I am going to discipline her. I am so sorry. I am not sure why R3 do not have a dressing on his wound. I will replace the dressing. V7 stated, I will clean R3 up right now, I need to go get more bath towel to soak off the dried feces. R3's progress note dated 9/11/24 at 16:19 V20 [Wound Nurse] document in part: R3 is alert and orientedx3. With open areas to the sacrum, moisture associated dermatitis to perineal area, scrotum, and bilateral thighs. [Noted after 7:45 AM observation] On 9/17/24 at 1:03 PM, V4 [Wound Care Coordinator] stated, Moister associated dermatitis is causes by excessive moisture, from being wet too long. If a resident is not provided timely incontinent care, it could potentially cause moister associated dermatitis. R3 was admitted on [DATE] and his skin admission assessment did not note any moister associated dermatitis on R3's peri area. On 9/11/24, R3's skin assessment was completed by the wound team and moister associated dermatitis was noted. On 9/10/24 at 3:00 PM V4 [Wound Care Coordinator] stated, I have been the wound care coordinator her for three years. The Wound Detail report information is inputted by the wound care nurse practitioner. Under the subtitle 'Acquired at Facility' means the wound developed while the resident was in the facility. I see on the report the answer is 'no' for all resident on the report. I am not sure why the report reflexes 'no' for all residents. There are some residents that did in fact acquire or develop a wound while in the facility. I did not notice that when I gave you the report, the report is not accurate. On the report I provided, I wrote (FA) which means facility acquired, (A) which means the resident was admitted to the facility with the wound. There are two other treatment nurses, we are here daily to complete wound care. After we leave for the day, the staff nurse is capable of changing a wound dressing as needed. The wound team stagger the schedule, so we have a wound nurse in the facility on the weekends as well. Whenever a wound dressing comes off the staff floor nurse should replace the dressing to promote healing and prevent infection. On 9/6/24 when R1 and V4 was not getting along, and V4 told the staff nurses that R1's dressing was not completed. Then the floor staff nurses should have made attempts to change his dressing and document the attempts. If a dressing is not clean, changed or the dressing is not replaced, it could potentially cause a wound infection or worsening of the wound. On 9/11/24 at 11:10 AM, V28 [Wound Care Nurse Practitioner] stated, If the resident does not receive wound care treatments as ordered, it could potentially cause an infection, worsen the wound, or could stop the healing process. If the resident is not receiving timely proper incontinence care, it could potentially cause skin excoriation from the moisture, cause a wound, make a wound worse or cause an infection. All wound treatment orders also have a change wound dressing as needed order, so any licensed nurse should be able to apply the wound dressing to protect the wound. On 9/12/24 at 4:20 PM, V14 [Assistant Director of Nursing] stated, I have not received any concerns that R1 concerns that his wound was infected. I recently seen R1's wound, because he needed a dressing change. I saw the wound, and the wound was not infected no odor, and discharge, he had no signs or symptoms of infection was noted. If a wound dressing comes off or need changing the staff floor nurse should complete wound care and sign it out on the electronic treatment administration record [ETAR] immediately after completing the treatment. If there is no signature in the ETAR, then the treatment was not completed. If a resident refuses a wound care treatment, the staff nurse should make multiple attempts, if not successful then call the physician to receive new orders. Also, the nurse can educate the resident the importance of wound care. If a bandage is not change or covered as prescribed, it could potentially cause an infection, or the wound could worsen. On 9/12/24 at 4:38 PM, V2 [Director of Nursing] stated, If a resident refused his wound care, it is his right to refuse, we cannot make him. It is not the other staff nurse's responsibility to complete wound care, after it was already offered, V5 offered R1 wound care on Friday, and he refused. I do not expect the other weekend nurses assigned to R1 to complete his wound care from Friday. R1 can not expect his wound treatment to be completed whenever he decides he wants it. R1 received wound care on Monday, 9/10/24 which was his scheduled next day for wound care. I did not receive any emails from V6 [Ombudsman] regarding R1 until this morning, and I responded. The other staff nurses did not have to make attempts to change R1's wound. The staff nurses said that R1 did not ask for a wound change over the weekend. If there is no signature on the electronic treatment record, it does not mean the treatment was not completed, it just means the nurse forgot to sign out the treatment, as nurses we have the right to forget to document. The standard of care is once you administer medication or a treatment the nurse should sign out on the resident's electronic mediation or treatment administration record at that time, but the nurse has the right to forget to sign. I have not found any nurse that worked the weekend say they completed R1's wound care. If a wound is not changed as ordered or a dressing is not on the wound, it could or could not make the wound worsen. R1's wound is not infected according to the wound care nurse practitioner notes, and there is not documentation from the wound care team that states R1 wound is or was infected. Policy documented in part: Skin Condition Assessment and Monitoring -Pressure and Non-Pressure dated 2/14/23. -Assessing, monitoring, and documenting the presence of skin breakdown, pressure injuries and other non-pressure skin conditions, and assuring interventions are implemented. -Each resident will be observed for skin breakdown daily during care from the certified nurse assistant and unit nurse. -Dressings which are applied to pressure ulcers, skin tears, wound lesions or incisions shall include the date of the licensed nurse who performed the procedure. Dressing will be checked daily for placement, cleanliness, and signs of infection. -Physician ordered treatments shall be initialed by the staff on the electronic treatment administration record after each administration. -A licensed nurse shall observe the condition of wound daily or with dressing changes as ordered.

On 02/22/23 at 09:21 AM surveyor called receptionist and requested that V1 (Administrator) come to the second-floor nurse station. On 02/22/23 at 09:31 AM V39 (Activity Aide) stated When I was passing cigarettes at 7:45 AM I grabbed the cigarette cart and material to go to the patio pass out and light cigarettes for the residents. V1 wanted the residents to stand in a straight line. This morning there was lot of confusion, and this was the new administrator first time being here to see cigarette break time. The residents are not always in a straight line so some of them were out of line. V1 (Administrator) was trying to put them in a straight line and trying to tell them to get in a straight line. The administrator put R21 in the line by touching her, I think on her arms. R21 told her that she is not supposed to be touching the residents. R22 hollered you don't have to push me. On 02/22/23 at 09:40 AM V1 (Administrator) arrived on the second-floor nurse station and the incident that R21 reported to the surveyor was reported to the administrator. V1 (Administrator) responded I am going to have to call my boss so that she can come into the facility. On 02/22/23 at 09:55 AM V1 (Administrator) stated I was in the first-floor dining room during smoke break observing. I don't know the time; the dining room light was off. V39 (Activity Aide) came in with the smoking cart and was inside the dining room passing cigarettes. I told V39 (Activity Aide) that I need for you to be outside with the residents. V39 (Activity Aide) was upset, and people were jammed up. I was touching the residents as they walked out the door. I said you have to be outside to supervise the residents. The whole room smelled like smoke. I told the residents to line up outside and get cigarettes. I said we are going to line up and go out the door. I was touching people as they went out the door. R21 said don't touch me. The housekeeping supervisor was there. While the residents were standing outside, I touched a lot of people. I touched several people because I am a touchy-feely person. I can't say I was assisting R21 in anyway. I don't remember any other person saying you don't have to touch me. The housekeeping director was also there. I called my boss so they can come in and take over. V39 (Activity Aide) was upset with me for having her go outside to pass the cigarettes. I told the residents that we were going to paint and strip floors. It is going to take 24 hours and I would give the residents a couple days' notice because the room will be closed down. On 02/22/23 at 10:30 AM V65 (Housekeeping Supervisor) stated I was standing in the first-floor dining room. I cut the lights on and walked over to where the smokers were. V1 (Administrator) was talking about the floors being done and the walls painted. V39 (Activity Aide) came with the cigarette cart in the dining room and V1 (Administrator) said she did not want the residents in the dining room. V1 (Administrator) wanted the residents outside and wanted V39 (Activity Aide) to stand outside. I did not see V1 (Administrator) touching the residents.

On 02/22/23 at 01:17 PM R22 stated the administrator was aggressively grabbing people in the smoke break line and saying the line is this way outside. V1 (Administrator) put her hands on my wheelchair. My hands were on the wheels and could have gotten caught in the wheels. I asked V1 can you get your hands off of my wheelchair. V1 aggressively put her hands on R21 and could have knocked her to the ground. I was in my wheelchair behind R21. Initial Reportable dated 02/22/23 document in part: Facility received report from an IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) Surveyor on 02/22/23 at approximately 9:00 a.m. that R21 alleged that V1 (Administrator) grabbed/pushed her while resident attended a scheduled smoking break.

R4 Hospital Record dated 11/27/22 document in part; Final Hospital Diagnosis: Chronic osteomyelitis of fibula, Pyogenic arthritis of left knee joint, Decubitus ulcer of right perineal ischial region, stage 4. R4 presented to the hospital due to newer wounds on bilateral lower extremities with exposed bone. Initially started as superficial wounds about 2 months prior. R4 came to the hospital from the nursing home facility due to worsening of wounds on both legs. admitted [DATE] with chronic bilateral fibulas (and likely tibial) osteomyelitis with worsening bilateral lower extremity wounds and sacral decubitus ulcer. Wounds on bilateral lower extremities, red granulation tissue with exposed bone. Imaging: X-ray Lower Leg/Tibia-Fibula Bilateral 2 views. Final Result: 1. Soft tissue wounds along the distal bilateral lower extremities, greater on left. Periosteal reaction involving the adjacent bilateral fibula concerning for chronic osteomyelitis. With respect to R4 new bilateral lower extremity wounds, has new findings of chronic appearing lateral ulcerative changes with bone exposure (fistula). This is likely also in the setting of chronic pressure. On 02/22/23 at 08:37 AM the surveyor entered R4 room. R4 was observed lying in a supine position with a pillow under the lower extremities. R4 stated the old wound care team walked out when the facility was making its transition and they had no one to do wound care. The old Director of nursing told V41 (Former Wound Care Nurse) that the residents don't have to have wound care every day, and they can miss a day. I still do not get my wound care done daily. The facility tried to make the floor nurses do the wound care, but they don't know how to do it or what medicine go on each leg. My legs got worse. V41 came in and started doing wounds but it was not an everyday thing. V38 (Nurse Consultant) said the facility was getting a wound care team coming in but about the time they came you could see the bone in my leg, and I was sent out to the hospital to get my legs checked out. The Certified Nurse assistant came in at 2 AM this morning to give me some ice water and I have not seen a Certified Nurse Assistant since then. I have never been turned every 2 hours. I have been laying on my back all night. On 02/22/23 at 10:25 AM V9 (Wound Care Coordinator) stated R4 has daily dressing changes to the buttock and Bilateral lower extremities. R4 has a low air loss mattress, and we recommend and encourage R4 to off load, turn and reposition. R4 is alert and oriented x4 and is compliant sometimes. If a resident is not turned and repositioned it can cause pressure, worsening of the wounds and drainage. I will update the care plan to include turning and repositioning R4 every 2 hours. On 02/22/23 at 10:34 AM the surveyor entered R4 room with V9 (Wound Care Coordinator). V42 (Certified Nurse Assistant) had R4 turned on his (R4) right side performing incontinent care. V42 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated R4 had a bowel movement. R4 was noted with 4 plus pitting edema to the left lower extremity with a large indentation observed to the left lower extremity. V42 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated R4 had a pillow under the left leg, under the knee area. A moderate amount of serosanguinous drainage was observed to the left lower extremity dressing and the edge of the dressing near the buttocks was soiled with stool. Dressing and packing to right buttocks was removed by V9. The entire buttocks appeared dark with scattered areas of light pink tissue. V9 cleaned the gluteal wound, applied Santyl/gentamycin, and packed the wound with calcium alginate. V9 stated the gluteal wound has improved since I started doing the wound care. A small open area was observed to the scrotum. V9 stated I saw the open area to the scrotum yesterday. R4 left lower extremity outer lateral area was observed with a large open area red in color with slough tissue observe to the top edge of the wound. V9 stated it was much larger, deeper, wider with a lot of slough tissue, green and yellow drainage. The surgical site to the left knee turned into a wound and has gotten worse. The right outer heel and upper ankle were observed with eschar tissue. The right lower outer lateral leg was observed with a large wound. The wound bed appeared red in color with slough tissue observed to the top area of the wound. A small open area was observed to the right ankle. The wound observed to the right lateral knee area appeared red in color with slough tissue. Open area observed to the right outer heel with eschar tissue. A total of six open areas were observed to the right lower extremity. V9 (Wound Care Coordinator) stated the right heel wound was facility acquired. On 02/22/23 at 10:56 AM V40 (Certified Nurse Assistant) knocked on R4 door while V9 (Wound Care Coordinator) was performing wound care. On 02/22/23 at 11:01 AM V42 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated the whole wound care department left in September 2022 and the floor nurses would have to do their own wound care. R4 aide has not been in here yet. In September R4 did not have the wounds to the heels and the wounds to the lower extremities were much thinner. R4 had the one wound to the gluteal fold but the area above the gluteal fold that had to get the most packing is the newer wound. On 02/22/23 at 11:55 AM V40 (Certified Nurse Assistant) entered R4 room to perform AM care. R4 was transferred to the wheelchair using the sit to stand with three assistances. On 02/22/23 at 11:59 AM V66 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated I saw R4 once at the beginning of the shift. It was after 8 AM when I went in to take R4 blood pressure. No one else has been in R4 room to my knowledge. On 02/22/23 at 12:40 PM V40 (Certified Nurse Assistant) exited R4 room. V40 stated This is my first day. When they were doing wound care and I knocked on the door, that was the first time that I attempted to see R4. When I start my shift, I do a view of my patients to make sure they are okay. The residents are turned and repositioned at least twice a shift and every 10 - 15 minutes. When I came over it was time for R4 to get up. Before I came over here, I am sure whoever had R4 turned R4. On 02/22/23 at 1:21 PM V38 (Nursing Consultant) stated I would have to look at R4 initial assessments. I am not a wound nurse or wound coordinator. R4 has wounds to the bilateral legs and buttocks. On 02/15/23 it is documented R4 left lateral lower leg full thickness, right gluteal ischial stage 4 pressure, left lateral knee non pressure. The facility had a wound care team coordinator, treatment nurse and the Certified Nurse Assistant that rounded with the team. The wound care team did not want to work with the new company that took over in August 2022 and the wound team exited the facility the first part of September. At that time, I would round with the wound doctor until we found a treatment nurse. The wound care doctor come to the facility on ce a week and the floor nurses did the wounds 6 days a week. I really don't want to describe R4 wounds because it would be based on my memory. R4 was seen by the nurse practitioner on 11/17/22. I reviewed the assessment, and I observed the wounds referred back to the assessment versus what I was objectively assessing with my visual assessment there was a decline in R4 wounds. At that time the orders were daily and prn (as needed). R4 likes to use pillows under the knees that causes pressure. You cannot make the resident do anything; you can care plan. On 01/12/23 R4 most recent BIMS score is 15. R4 is alert oriented to person, place, time, and situation. All we can do is educate preventive measure for the wound care. Pressure is detrimental to the healing of R4 wounds. R13 has diagnosis not limited to Cellulitis, Lack of Coordination, Dysphagia, Non-Pressure Chronic Ulcer of Other Part of Right Lower Leg with Fat Layer Exposed, Non-Pressure Chronic Ulcer of Other Part of Left Lower Leg with Fat Layer Exposed, Sepsis, Pressure Ulcer of Contiguous Site of Back, Buttock, and Hip, Stage2, Pressure Ulcer of Sacral Region, Stage 4, Weakness, Limited Activities Due to Disability, Reduced Mobility and is no longer a resident at the facility.

On 02/22/23 at 05:22 PM V2 (Director of Nursing) stated R13 was one of the wound patients. I started here on 01/09/23 and V41 (Former Wound Care Nurse) walked out within the first week of me being here. The staff should make rounds on shift arrival to make sure the residents are alive and not on the floor. R4 is alert and oriented x4 and makes his needs and complaints known. The residents should be repositioned in bed. R4 is on a pressure reducing mattress. The purpose for turning and repositioning is to offload the areas to reduce pressure. If the treatment administration record is not signed or documented, it is not done. If it is not signed, we cannot verify that the treatments were done. R4 wounds were bad when I first started but they are getting better since the new wound coordinator. On 02/23/23 at 10:25 AM V33 (Nurse Practitioner/Infectious Disease) stated R13 has Chronic wound care following vascular issues preventing the wounds from healing. R13 has been treated for bacteria. I know at the facility I have heard from other residents about the sporadic wound care. At one point not long ago, the wound nurse was not working there anymore. I tried to follow what wound care providers was providing. We want wound care to be done as ordered. If wound care is not done for chronic and slow healing wounds, that does not help the issue and is not in the best interest because it could cause the wounds to get worst. We are trying to keep the wounds from getting infected and to heal. The wound care should be done as frequently as wound care recommend. R4 was the resident I had to discuss with the Director of nursing. When R4 came back from the hospital, wound care was ordered twice daily. If the wound care is not being done and especially if there are pictures and the measurements show that the wounds were getting worse then that is evidence that the lack of wound care is why the wounds got worse. On 02/23/23 at 12:50 PM V64 (Former Wound Care Coordinator) stated R13 was admitted with a sacral wound that closed and bilateral lower extremity vascular wounds that were chronic. The dressings were changed as order. R4 had a stage 4 pressure wound to the right gluteal fold that was facility acquired. The Bilateral Lower Extremity vascular wound were improving. The bottom part lateral left leg was larger than right lateral leg wound and was kind of wide. There were no wounds to R4 heels. I left the facility the second week of September. They were cutting staff and wanted the wound nurses to work the floor and wanted the staff nurses to do the wounds. On 02/23/23 at 01:02 PM V41 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated R13 bilateral lower extremity wounds were improving to the point where R13 had start growing skin. There was granulation to the lower part of the wound. I was not receiving any assistance from anyone for wound care. There was no wound nurse for a couple of weeks after the wound care team left in September 2022 and the resident wounds were not getting done. V38 (Nurse Consultant) was trying to do the wounds and they wanted the nurses to do the wounds. When the wound doctor came, we could not do the whole building in one day on the wound care rounds. I became the only wound care nurse and they had no one to replace the wound care coordinator. I took a day off on a Monday, it was a couple nurses that did wound care, but they did not touch anyone on that Monday. When I returned to worked on Tuesday, I could tell by R4 bandages that R4 wound care was not done that Monday. In one day, the wound was all the way to R4 bone. I called V38 (Nurse Consultant) to witness R4 wounds. V38 told R4 it is not that bad I see a little bone I don't see any green drainage. I told R4 it was bad your bone is showing and there was green drainage. R4 was sent to the hospital and came back with orders for dressing changes twice a day. I quit because of the lack of help. R4 had wounds to both lower extremities on the lateral sides, 2 on the knees because they were not turning R4 and another wound on the gluteal fold that was facility acquired. On 02/23/23 at 03:57 V67 (Wound Care Nurse Practitioner) stated there was a couple of wound care nurses at the facility that quit. R4 has multiple wounds. When I started R4 had one small gluteal wound and it deteriorated from R4 sitting in wheelchair and going out. R4 has multiple wounds on the legs. The wounds to the legs became septic and were not improving. R4 went to hospital because of the septic arthritis. There is a potential for infection, bacterial growth and the wound bed will get worst, deteriorate, and increase in size if the dressings are not changed as ordered. R13 legs were deteriorating.

Staff intervened immediately but R3 had returned to his side of the room. Nurse assessed R4 for pain and bruises.

On 11/29/2022 at 12:32pm, R3 stated, I don't remember anything about that. On 11/29/2022 at 12:45pm, R6 stated, I have a concern with my roommate. I have a problem with R3, and I told the social service director many times that I don't feel safe with R3 being my roommate and all he does is listen to me and nothing is being done about my concerns and R3 is still here with me as my roommate. I have a problem with R3's behavior. R3 talks to himself all night long and I can't sleep, R3 keeps me up all night. R3 plays his television really loud all night and it prevents me from getting a good night sleep. I have to constantly keep one eye open when I sleep because R3 has severe mental illness, and I don't feel safe sleeping in the same room as R3. He does not flush the toilette after he uses it. R3 is aggressive and gets into other resident's faces. R3 gets aggressive with staff too. R3 is a bit unpredictable. I talked to the social worker, and I expressed concern to the social worker. When I try to sleep at night, I have to sleep with one eye open because of R3's behavior, his severe mental illness and the fact that R3 has physically attacked 2 residents in this facility and continues to get into resident's and staff faces in an aggressive manner. I don't know what R3 is going to do so I keep my eye on R3 at all times because I don't feel safe as he is very unpredictable. All the residents in this building know R3 and they are scared of him. On 11/29/2022 at 1:02pm, R4 stated, On 10/21/2022, I remember that day that the incident occurred between me and R3. I came into my room one day and R3 and I were roommates at the time. It was in the afternoon, R3 had his tv up real loud. I asked R3 to please turn the tv down because I had a headache. When I asked R3 to turn the tv down politely, R3 ignored me. I asked R3 to turn the tv down for the second time and R3 said to me, I used to be a boxer and I will knock you out. I don't know what triggered R3 to get up and come to my wheelchair and R3 got aggressive. R3 swung on me, and I tried to block myself, however, R3 was still able to hit me, and he gave me a black eye. I am wheelchair bound and he came to me aggressively and I tried to block it, but he was able to punch me and give me a black eye. When R3 came to my wheelchair in an aggressive manner, R3 knocked my water over with his hand. The water was standing on my bedside table and R3 knocked my water over on purpose with his hand which resulted in the water spilling on the floor. R3 had an incident on the 3rd floor as well where R3 tossed down nurses to the floor. R3 is very aggressive, and he has a mental problem, and I am wheelchair bound and I have a physical problem so R3 posed as a direct threat to me. Why is R3 still in this facility. R3 is not appropriate to be in this facility he is very aggressive and dangerous. R3 can be dangerous at times to other residents. With R3 you never know what R3 can do or what he is capable of because R3 has mental problems, and I don't feel safe with R3 at all. They moved R3 out of my room, but he's still in the building and I know for a fact that other residents fear R3 because R3 gets into resident's faces aggressively all the time. I don't feel safe with R3 in this building because he is severely mentally ill, and he is dangerous and aggressive towards others. On 11/30/2022 at 11:04am V8 (social service director) stated, On 10/21/2022 I was called by my psych tech to inform me that an altercation between R3 and R4 occurred. The nurse was there and performed a skin assessment after the altercation and R3 was not able to be redirected. R3 was aggressive and not accepting direction and loud with everything and we had to put R3 on a 1 to 1 supervision after the altercation occurred. The psychiatrist ordered to send R3 to the hospital for psychiatrist evaluation. R3 and R4 were roommates at the time the altercation occurred. R3 has mental issues and is often loud and aggressive toward staff and other residents. At times R3 cannot hold conversation and exhibits a lot of aggressive behaviors. R3 has had physical contact with another resident prior to the physical altercation with R4. It occurred with a different resident in a dining room, where R3 was aggressive and touched another resident so we had to send R3 out for psychiatric evaluation. R4 is not the only resident that was physically assaulted by R3, there have been another resident. R3 is a resident with severe mental health issues and there have been many instances where R3 verbally assaulted staff and other residents. We sent R3 to the hospital for psychiatric evaluation many times. R3 was on each resident floor, and we keep moving R3 around. R3 had incidents with other residents on each floor so we had to move R3 many times. Based on R3's behaviors, R3 is not suitable for this facility. Based on R3's behavior R3 is not appropriate for this facility. R3 is a threat to other residents. R3 is a threat to the safety of other residents and staff as well. We tried to send R3 out to other facilities, however, other facilities did not want to accept R3 back. Any times we send a resident out for psych evaluation, we send the resident with a petition and R3 was sent back to this facility stating that R3 is stable and good to return. We did indicate that R3 is a danger to self and other residents. R3 is not appropriate to have a roommat because most of the time, the roommates that share a room with R3 complain about R3. At this time, R3 is not appropriate to have a roommate because already, R3 current roommate (R6) is complaining about R3. R6 is complaining about R3 and asked me to move R3 out of the room. Since R3 has not made any physical contact with R6, I feel that it is ok for R3 and R6 to share a room. Since R3 did not physically attack R6, I feel at this time it is safe for R3 and R6 to share a room. We did not give R3 a private room because a private room is given to a resident on isolation and since R3 is not on isolation precautions, we did not place R3 in a private room. The last time R6 came to me and expressed concern pertaining to R3, R6 stated that R3 watches television really loud and late at night and R6 cannot sleep. R6 also expressed to me that R3 talks to self and R6 expressed some concerns with R3's behavior. R6 requested that we remove R3 from his room. R6 expressed concerns with R3 and requested for R3 to be moved out of R6's room. R6 did express to me that R3 watches television loudly in the late hour. I explained the rules to R6 that if a resident complains about their roommate, then the resident who is complaining is the one who will be moved out. I said to R6 that if he is complaining about R3 that I have to look for a room for R6 and move R6 instead of moving R3. R6 was residing in that room first, before R3. R6 stated that R6 did not want to be moved. R6 wanted us to move R3 out. One of the staff members complained that R3 aggressively got into their face and was not able to be redirected. On 12/01/2022 at 10:21am V1 (administrator) stated, I am the abuse coordinator. The facility policy is that all staff have to report any kind of abuse and all staff have to watch and monitor for any kind of resident abuse. It is mandatory for staff to report any form of abuse to the administrator. If any kind of abuse is reported, we investigate. We have cameras and we do a full investigation into abuse allegations. Any kind of abuse such as resident to resident or staff to resident is investigated and we have to report it to the state agency anything regarding any sort of harm allegation that was reported we have to report it to the state. Depending on the type of abuse that is reported, we investigate, and we also report it to the resident's physician. If there is an abuse allegation which involves resident to resident, we immediately separate the residents. If the abuse allegation is between 2 roommates, we separate them and move them to different locations and we assess the residents for injuries. The aggressor is sent out and also if there are injuries involved, we send the resident out. If there is a issues between 2 roommates and the 2 roommates are not getting along, we try to accommodate the needs and desires of the existing roommate that was there in that particular room. If we move a new roommate into the room of an existing resident residing in that room and if there is a problem between the 2 roommates, then we accommodate the needs of the existing roommate, unless the existing roommate that was there first is the one that causes the problems and issues. Typically, if the new roommate that was moved into the room of another roommate is the one causing issues, we move that resident out of that room. I started working at this facility on November 8 and I am not familiar with what occurred between R3 and R4. I am not aware that R6 is having problems with his current roommate, R3. I am not aware that R6 fears R3 so I will talk to the social service director. If R6 is having issues with R3 and he is afraid of R3, then we have to accommodate R6's wishes and we have to move R3. R6 is the original roommate in that room, so we will move R3 out of that room to accommodate R6 and make sure that R6 feels safe. I was not made aware by the social service director that R6 is afraid of R3. I was not made aware by social service director that there are existing issues between R3 and R6 and that R6 cannot sleep and is afraid to sleep. That should never occur no resident should live in fear, and I am taking action immediately to move R3 out and we will place R3 into a room by himself. R6 is our guest and R6 and any other resident should never have to be afraid to sleep and fear their roommate. R3 should have been in the room by himself and not placed into a room with any other resident if R3 is constantly aggressive towards other residents and staff, but I was not made aware of this at all. I had no knowledge that R6 is having issues with R3 and if I was made aware by social service, then R3 would have been placed in a room by himself. I will move R3 into a private room immediately. I will also look into possibly finding R3 a more suitable facility which can accommodate R3's severe mental health issues. It is not original occupant of the room, so the original occupant should be accommodated, unless the original occupant of that room is the one causing the issue. On 12/01/2022 at 6:48pm, V36 (psychiatrist) stated The incident between R3 and R4 happened on 10/21/2022 and after the incident, R3 was sent out to the hospital for psychiatric and R3 was admitted . R3 was admitted for a while and then sent back to the facility. I was informed from a nurse at the nursing home that when R3 came back to the facility, R3 is more calm and more compliant with medications and more manageable. So far there has been no aggression from R3 toward other resident. At this time R3 is more manageable due to R3's last psych admission. I told the nursing facility that R3 does not get along with his current roommate and has issues with any roommate R3 has and R3 should be in a room by himself. I told the social service director that R3 should be in a room by himself because R3 does not get along with any resident because of R3's severe mental illness. R3 is a man of his own mind and suffers from severe mental illness and R3 should be in a room by himself for safety of other residents.

On 11/29/2022 at 1:02pm, R4 stated, On 10/21/2022, I remember that day that the incident occurred between me and R3. I came into my room one day and R3 and I were roommates at the time. It was in the afternoon, R3 had his tv up real loud. I asked R3 to please turn the tv down because I had a headache. When I asked R3 to turn the tv down politely, R3 ignored me. I asked R3 to turn the tv down for the second time and R3 said to me, I used to be a boxer and I will knock you out. I don't know what triggered R3 to get up and come to my wheelchair and R3 got aggressive. R3 swung on me, and I tried to block myself, however, R3 was still able to hit me, and he gave me a black eye. I am wheelchair bound and he came to me aggressively and I tried to block it, but he was able to punch me and give me a black eye. When R3 came to my wheelchair in an aggressive manner, R3 knocked my water over with his hand. The water was standing on my bedside table and R3 knocked my water over on purpose with his hand which resulted in the water spilling on the floor. R3 had an incident on the 3rd floor as well where R3 tossed down nurses to the floor. R3 is very aggressive, and he has a mental problem, and I am wheelchair bound and I have a physical problem so R3 posed as a direct threat to me. Why is R3 still in this facility. R3 is not appropriate to be in this facility he is very aggressive and dangerous. R3 can be dangerous at times to other residents. With R3 you never know what R3 can do or what he is capable of because R3 has mental problems, and I don't feel safe with R3 at all. They moved R3 out of my room, but he's still in the building and I know for a fact that other residents fear R3 because R3 gets into resident's faces aggressively all the time. I don't feel safe with R3 in this building because he is severely mentally ill, and he is dangerous and aggressive towards others. On 11/30/2022 at 11:04am V8 (social service director) stated, On 10/21/2022 I was called by my psych tech to inform me that an altercation between R3 and R4 occurred. The nurse was there and performed a skin assessment after the altercation and R3 was not able to be redirected. R3 was aggressive and not accepting direction and loud with everything and we had to put R3 on a 1 to 1 supervision after the altercation occurred. The psychiatrist ordered to send R3 to the hospital for psychiatrist evaluation. R3 and R4 were roommates at the time the altercation occurred. R3 has mental issues and is often loud and aggressive toward staff and other residents. At times R3 cannot hold conversation and exhibits a lot of aggressive behaviors. R3 has had physical contact with another resident prior to the physical altercation with R4. It occurred with a different resident in a dining room, where R3 was aggressive and touched another resident so we had to send R3 out for psychiatric evaluation. R4 is not the only resident that was physically assaulted by R3, there have been another resident. R3 is a resident with severe mental health issues and there have been many instances where R3 verbally assaulted staff and other residents. We sent R3 to the hospital for psychiatric evaluation many times. R3 was on each resident floor, and we keep moving R3 around. R3 had incidents with other residents on each floor so we had to move R3 many times. Based on R3's behaviors, R3 is not suitable for this facility, R3 is not appropriate for this facility. R3 is a threat to other residents. R3 is a threat to the safety of other residents and staff as well. Any times we send a resident out for psych evaluation, we send the resident with a petition and R3 was sent back to this facility and were told by hospital nurse that R3 is stable and good to return. We did indicate that R3 is a danger to self and other residents. R3 is not appropriate to have a roommate because most of the time, the roommates that share a room with R3 complain about R3. At this time, R3 is not appropriate to have a roommate because R3's current roommate (R6) is complaining about R3. One of the staff members complained that R3 aggressively got into their face and was not able to be redirected. On 12/01/2022 at 10:21am V1 (administrator) stated, I am the abuse coordinator. The facility policy is that all staff have to report any kind of abuse and all staff have to watch and monitor for any kind of resident abuse. It is mandatory for staff to report any form of abuse to the administrator. If any kind of abuse is reported, we investigate. We have cameras and we do a full investigation into abuse allegations. Any kind of abuse such as resident to resident or staff to resident is investigated and we have to report it to the state agency anything regarding any sort of harm allegation that was reported we have to report it to the state. Depending on the type of abuse that is reported, we investigate, and we also report it to the resident's physician. If there is an abuse allegation which involves resident to resident, we immediately separate the residents. If the abuse allegation is between 2 roommates, we separate them and move them to different locations and we assess the residents for injuries. The aggressor is sent out and also if there are injuries involved, we send the resident out. If there is an issue between 2 roommates and the 2 roommates are not getting along, we try to accommodate the needs and desires of the existing roommate that was there in that particular room. If we move a new roommate into the room of an existing resident residing in that room and if there is a problem between the 2 roommates, then we accommodate the needs of the existing roommate, unless the existing roommate that was there first is the one that causes the problems and issues. Typically, if the new roommate that was moved into the room of another roommate is the one causing issues, we move that resident out of that room. I started working at this facility on November 8 and I am not familiar with what occurred between R3 and R4. R3 should have been in the room by himself and not placed into a room with any other resident if R3 is constantly aggressive towards other residents and staff, but I was not made aware of this at all. I will move R3 into a private room immediately. I will also look into possibly finding R3 a more suitable facility which can accommodate R3's severe mental health issues. On 12/01/2022 at 6:48pm, V36 (psychiatrist) stated The incident between R3 and R4 happened on 10/21/2022 and after the incident, R3 was sent out to the hospital for psychiatric and R3 was admitted . R3 was admitted for a while and then sent back to the facility. I was informed from a nurse at the nursing home that when R3 came back to the facility, R3 is more calm and more compliant with medications and more manageable. So far there has been no aggression from R3 toward other resident. At this time R3 is more manageable due to R3's last psych admission. I told the nursing facility that R3 does not get along with his current roommate and has issues with any roommate R3 has and R3 should be in a room by himself. I told the social service director that R3 should be in a room by himself because R3 does not get along with any resident because of R3's severe mental illness. R3 is a man of his own mind and suffers from severe mental illness and R3 should be in a room by himself for safety of other residents.

The transition is not final yet, so there's nothing that we can do until its final with technology. V3 then walked behind the Nurse station and wrote down wound care instructions (on the back of a dressing package). V3 subsequently placed R6's wound care supplies on a visibly soiled over bed table. Surveyor inquired about concerns with R6's right foot dressing dated 9/24 (2 days prior) V3 replied It says the 24th, todays the 26th. V3 attempted to remove R6's right foot dressing (calcium alginate covered with gauze - which were not the correct treatments) however it was stuck to both lateral wounds. Surveyor inquired about R6's dressing V3 responded It looks like calcium alginate with gauze however neither were ordered for R6's wound. V3 poured normal saline atop of R6's dressing and attempted to remove it slowly, a moderate amount of purulent drainage was noted, and the calcium alginate was adhered to the wound. Surveyor inquired about the appearance of R6's wound V3 stated I see purulent drainage and alginate stuck on. Surveyor inquired if R6 was prescribed antibiotics for wound infection V3 replied I don't think he is, I'm gonna call the doctor as soon as were done. R6's (9/8/22) physician wound assessment includes right lateral foot excisional debridement. Removal of nectotic tissue, slough and biofilm. To promote healing and prevent infection. R6's (9/26/22) physician order [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . On 9/29/22 at 9:21am, surveyor inquired about R6's (9/22/22) physician wound assessment V15 (Wound Care Nurse Practitioner) stated There was moderate serous drainage from the wound. Surveyor inquired what purulent drainage is indicative of V15 responded Purulent drainage is a sign of infection. Surveyor inquired about concerns with applying calcium alginate on R6's wound (instead of iodosorb as ordered) V15 replied The purpose of the iodosorb is to reduce the slough and to soften the tissue. The calcium alginate absorbs. On 9/29/22 at approximately 3:29pm, surveyor relayed concerns regarding incorrect treatment applied to R6's right foot wound V16 (Wound Care Physician) replied There was no order for calcium alginate, normally you put [MEDICATION(S)]. I never ordered alginate on him. __ On 9/29/22 at 3:22pm, surveyor inquired about potential harm to residents if wound care orders are not followed V16 (Wound Physician) stated If they are putting a totally different dressing or not doing the dressings wound can get infected. If they are putting something different there may be slowing of the healing. Surveyor inquired if R2, R6 and/or R7 required surgical intervention of aforementioned wounds V16 responded All of them (R2, R6, R7) have had debridement from me from time to time. The (undated) preventive skin care policy stated good skin care is provided by staff on each shift and as necessary. Medicated treatments ordered by the physician are to be applied by the licensed nurse as appropriate.

F684J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on interviews and record review the facility failed to ensure (R3) one of five sampled residents received medication for treatment of [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . As a result, on 5/02/2022 R3 was found unconscious experiencing seizures. According to R3's death certificate the [CONDITION(S)] activity contributed to R3's death. This was identified as an immediate jeopardy situation which began on 04/02/2022. On 06/09/2022 the administrator was notified of the immediate jeopardy. The immediate jeopardy was removed on 06/10/2022. However, the deficiency remains at the second level of harm until the facility determine the effectiveness of the implementation of the removal plan. Findings include: According to the face sheet R3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] R3's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] for Significant Change in Condition indicated R3 had a [CONDITION(S)] or [CONDITION(S)] since June 4, 2020. Review of R3's care plan on 6/02/22 at 2:45 pm - Care Plan updated on 3/9/2022-Resident is at risk for [CONDITION(S)] activity related to [CONDITION(S)]. Resident will not have any injuries related to [CONDITION(S)] activity thru next review. Monitor resident for [CONDITION(S)] activity, Medication levels as ordered per MD, Administer medication as directed and follow Pharmaceutical recommendations R3's progress notes by V5 (Nurse) dated 5/2/22 at 9:30 am, R3 was noted with [CONDITION(S)] activity. V/s obtained. B/P- 80/50. R-20 p-111 spo2 (oxygen level) -85% on room air. Oxygen applied. Spo2-92% on room air. Resident positioned on her side. Resident [CONDITION(S)] activity prolonged. MD made aware. (V14) (Nurse Practitioner- NP) gave order to send R3 to nearest hospital for evaluation. 911 arrived. Resident transferred to nearest hospital. Family called. No answer. Left voice mail (v/m). Will continue to call family throughout shift. The surveyor conducted the following staff interviews regarding R3's hospital transfer on 5/02/2022 and the service provided for the prevention for any [CONDITION(S)] activity for R3. On 6/02/22 at 3:47 pm, during a telephone interview with V2 (Former Assistant Administrator), V2 said she was doing rounds and upon getting off the elevator she saw the expressions of staff faces. V2 said she can feel and tell something was going on, V2 said she asked V5 (nurse) and V5 said R3 was having a [CONDITION(S)]. I went to the room, I saw V1 (Administrator), V4 (Dietary Manager) and a new oriented nurse (V7). Three different oxygen tanks were sent to R3's room, the first 2 tanks were empty; V4 ran out of the room to get a third tank which she retrieved from the second floor. R3 was still in a [CONDITION(S)] with her body jerking. Surveyor asked V2 why they did not call a code blue, rapid response or 911. V2 stated V1 (Administrator) told me No, we are not calling 911. I left the room to go find the nurse to tell her to call 911. When I came back, V1 pulled the door up tightly and would not let me come back in. I saw how long it was taking to get help for R3, so I ignored V1's command and called 911 anyway. V2 said she wished she had called 911 right away. V2 stated R3 had not received her [CONDITION(S)] medication ([MEDICATION(S)]) since R3 was discharged to the hospital in March. V2 stated R3's [CONDITION(S)] medication ([MEDICATION(S)]) was not reordered after her return back to the facility on [DATE]. Surveyor asked V2 if R3's [CONDITION(S)] medication was to be carried over from the (POS) Physician order [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . V2 stated Yes During a face- face interview on 6/02/22 at 11:02 am with V3 (Director of Nursing), surveyor asked V3 if she knew R3 did not get [MEDICATION(S)] ([CONDITION(S)] medication) for the entire month of April, May 1st and May 2, 2022. V3 stated she was not aware of that. Surveyor asked V3 if she was aware the facility did not re-order the [MEDICATION(S)] medication when R3 returned to the facility on [DATE], after a hospital stay. V3 said no, she was not made aware of R3 not getting her [CONDITION(S)] medication. On 6/03/2022 at 2:46 pm the surveyor conducted a phone interview with V5 (nurse). The surveyor asked V5 what happened on 5/02/2022 with R3. V5 said I came in the room, and they gave me the oxygen, I applied the oxygen to R3 who was having a [CONDITION(S)] and turned R3 onto her side. R3's saturation levels went up to 93% but she was still not responsive, and her body was twitching/jerking. R3 never stopped breathing so I did not call a code blue. I called the doctor and let him know R3 was still seizing. He told me to send her out to the hospital. I was told by someone, I don't remember, that 911 had already been called. Surveyor asked V5 if she was familiar with R3's history of seizures and that R3 did not have any [CONDITION(S)] medication for the month of April. V5 said no, I am new to the facility but not a new nurse, I have been a nurse for [AGE] years. Surveyor asked V5 how many times she had been R3's nurse, V5 said twice and she was not aware that R3 was supposed to get [CONDITION(S)] medication. During a telephone interview on 6/3/2022 at 2:12 pm with V6 (nurse), surveyor asked V6 if she was aware of the incident with R3 on 05/02/2022. V6 said yes, I was on the third floor and I feel very sad about the incident. Surveyor asked what she meant by that statement. V6 said there was no code blue or rapid response called. I am not saying that the outcome may have been different, but as a more experienced nurse if a code was called other nurses could have responded and given more interventions like administering some [MEDICATION(S)]. I certainly would have done more than apply oxygen and place R3 on her side. On 06/07/2022 at 12:45 pm, V7 (Certified Nursing Assistant - CNA) stated she was the CNA who provided care to R3 on 5/02/2022. V7 stated I went to feed R3, when I walked in the room I sat the tray down, R3 was having a [CONDITION(S)]. I went around the corner to get the nurse (V5) who was new here and I am new. Surveyor asked V7 if the call light was working, V7 said she didn't think to pull the call light. V7 said V5 came in, I told her R3 was having a [CONDITION(S)], V5 did the vitals, and they were low, the blood pressure number on the bottom (diastolic) was 50. The oxygen levels was in the 60's. The Administrator (V1) was in the room observing. Surveyor asked V7 approximately how long was R3's [CONDITION(S)] before the paramedics arrived. V7 stated R3 was seizing at least 40 minutes, I was trying to clean her up because I knew when the ambulance came she was going out to the hospital. On 06/07/2022 at 2:38 pm, V9 (Primary Physician) was interviewed via phone. The surveyor asked V9 if he was familiar with R3's incident on 05/02/2022. V9 said yes. The surveyor asked, V9 what would he expect the nurse to do when one of the residents has a [CONDITION(S)]? V9 stated It is pretty standard if there is a resident that has a [CONDITION(S)], especially one like R3 who has a history of seizures, I am called immediately, and the resident is sent out to the hospital immediately. Surveyor asked V9 if he received a call from the facility about R3 having a [CONDITION(S)] for over 40 minutes and never recovering consciously. V9 stated I did not get a call and that was way too long to have the resident in a [CONDITION(S)] without being in the hospital. The resident has the potential to aspirate. V9 said I do have a nurse practitioner who may have received the call. Surveyor asked V9 if he was aware that R3 had not received her [MEDICATION(S)] medication the entire month of April, May 1st and May 2, 2022. V9 responded, perhaps you mean the nurses forgot to transcribe the order but was giving the patient the medication? The surveyor responded by letting V9 know there was no order transcribed or [MEDICATION(S)] medication noted on the MAR (medication administration record) with signatures indicating the medication was given or refused by nurses. V9 said that is a problem and I hope the facility uses this incident for in-services. According to R3's POS (Physician order [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . There was no [MEDICATION(S)] documented on the MAR or any signatures of nurses administering [MEDICATION(S)] medication to R3 the entire Month of April, May 1st and May 2. 2022. Review of R3's progress notes, behavioral notes and care plan noted no concerns with R3 refusing her [CONDITION(S)] medication. According to R3's Physician order [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . R3 had a medication dosage change on 02/20/2022 noted as a Routine order by V9 (Primary Physician), [MEDICATION(S)] ([MEDICATION(S)]) Give 10 ml (milliliters) by mouth two times a day for seizures. On 06/08/2022 at 4:13 pm, via telephone interview with V13 (nurse), surveyor asked V13 if she was the admitting nurse for R3 on 04/02/2022 when R3 returned back to the facility from a hospital stay. V13 said yes she was the admitting nurse for R13. Surveyor asked V13 what is the procedure for verifying medication orders when a patient is admitted . I call the doctor and let him know the patient has returned, (V14) Nurse Practitioner (NP) is the one we usually talk to. V14 will say continue with discharged Medication Plan of Care. Surveyor asked V13 if a read back of the orders are done while speaking with V14, the response was no, not unless they ask. Surveyor asked V13 how the facility ensure that previous significant medications like [MEDICATION(S)] are re-ordered on return back to the facility, if there is no read back to the physician. V13 stated We don't go back and look at discharged orders, it is too hard to go back and look for previous orders. When the physician says continue with discharged medication plan of care, we reconcile whatever medications are on the hospital discharge list. Telephonic Interview with V14 (Nurse Practitioner) on 06/08/2022 at 3:33 pm, Surveyor asked V14 if V13 (nurse) spoke with him over the phone about R3's return to the facility on [DATE] and medication orders. V14 said yes, I spoke with V13 and gave orders to continue with the hospital medication discharge plan of care. Surveyor asked V14 if a read back is done with the nurses on current and previous discharged medication such as [MEDICATION(S)] for [CONDITION(S)]. V14 stated when a nurse call me I tell them to continue with discharged medication plan of care, I don't have time to read back all those medications, l expect the nurse and the hospital system to work and check the medications. The hospital should have had [MEDICATION(S)] on their discharged medication plan of care. I don't verify any medication discharge or previous medications as you are asking. Telephonic interview with V9 (Primary Care Physician) on 06/08/2022 at 3:03 pm, Surveyor asked V9 how does he ensure that all medications orders are reconciled. V9 stated I always verify the new orders and previous orders with the nurses. He stated he has the nurses to read off the medications and he will tell them what he wants them to transcribe for the patient.

F658G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide blood glucose monitoring and insulin administration services, according to professional standards of quality care and guidelines from the American Diabetes Association, for a resident's elevated blood sugar. This failure affected one resident (R2) of three residents, reviewed for professional standards of care and it resulted in R2 having a critically high blood glucose of 539 on arrival at the hospital. Findings include: On 4/9/21 at 9:07 AM, V13 (R2's Health Insurance Representative) documented R2's complaint over the past year at the facility, R2 has been complaining of chest/stomach pains and feeling nauseous but the facility refused to address the problem. R2's physician progress notes [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] On 1/7/21: V6 (R2's Primary Physician) saw R2 by Telemedicine and documented R2's elevated Glucose and elevated Hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) of 9/4/20; On 1/21/21: V6 saw R2 by Telemedicine and documented R2's elevated Glucose of 332 mg/dl(milligrams per deciliter) and elevated HgbA1c at 12.9 as shown in the laboratory report of 1/8/21; On 1/25/21, 2/9/21, and 2/22/21, V6 again saw R2 by Telemedicine and documented the same elevated glucose of 332 and elevated hemoglobin A1C of 1/8/21 for all the dates mentioned. On 3/8/21 at 11:17 PM, V6 wrote: Patient seen to have Diabetes Mellitus with HgbA1c on 1/8/21 significantly elevated at 12.9% and a significantly elevated glucose level of 332. Continue to monitor and manage all chronic conditions with current treatment. [MEDICATION(S)] to be added to medications for glycemic control. On 3/22/21 at 11:05 PM, V6 included Diabetes Mellitus in the list of medical history and wrote: Diabetes Mellitus: Start [MEDICATION(S)] 10 units BID (twice a day); check blood sugars BID (twice a day). On 3/31/21 at 1:17 PM, V6 wrote: Patient seen in person. Pt admits to episodes of suicidal ideation but does not state an active plan. Pt admits to polyuria (excessive urination), polydipsia (excessive thirst), and has lost 30 pounds in the last three months. On 4/6/21 at 3:27 PM, R2 was sent to the hospital for suicidal ideation, and had a critically high blood glucose of 539 on arrival at the emergency room . R2's Hospital emergency room records, dated 4/6/21, shows the following: Page 12 shows the blood glucose on arrival at the hospital at 5:07 PM to be critically high at 539 mg/dl(milligrams per deciliter); Page 17, under Consultation, written by V12(emergency room Physician), under Impression, states Type 2 Diabetes, poorly controlled. Discharge Summary, dated 4/17/21, shows R2 has new orders for [MEDICATION(S)] Insulin 100 units/ml 35 units at bedtime; [MEDICATION(S)] Insulin 100 units/ml 10 units before meals; [MEDICATION(S)] 500 mg by mouth at 8am and 5pm; [MEDICATION(S)] 100mg by mouth daily. Page 27 shows that R2's Urinalysis had 4+ Glucose and that the Hemoglobin A1c was greater than 14. R2's Physician order [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . There were no records insulin was given and no records R2's blood sugar was checked again after the blood drawn on 1/8/21 showed a high blood sugar of 332 and a high hemoglobin A1C of 12.9. On 4/19/21 at 3:54 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) was interviewed about the procedure for nurses to transcribe physician orders [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . V2 stated most physicians give telephone orders and the nurse is supposed to put the order in the system immediately. V2 explained she is new to the facility and she will give in-service to the nurses regarding this. V2 was asked for records of blood sugar checks or [MEDICATION(S)] insulin as ordered for R2. V2 stated, If it was done, it should be on the MAR and the POS, but it's not there. At this time, V2 presented R2's Laboratory Reports, dated 9/4/2020 and 1/8/2020, showing R2's elevated blood sugars as stated above in the physician progress notes [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] On 4/19 21 at 4:04 PM, V14 (LPN, Licensed Practical Nurse) was interviewed regarding this. V14 stated the Nurse Practitioners put their orders in the system, but the doctors just give telephone orders, and she will read the order back to the doctor before she puts the order in, and once the order is put in, it will show up on the MAR and it cannot be missed. R2's Care Plan for Diabetes, dated 3/8/21, states under Goals: Resident will maintain blood sugar levels within prescribed limits and not exhibit any signs and symptoms of hypo/[CONDITION(S)] through next review. Intervention #1 states: Monitor blood sugars as ordered and coverage as ordered per sliding scale; #2: Monitor for signs and symptoms of hypo/[CONDITION(S)]; #9: report abnormal labs and blood sugars to MD (medical doctor). On 4/20/21 at 1:29 PM, V6 (Facility's Physician for R2) was asked a general question about his professional opinion about the possible effects of not treating Diabetes and not checking the blood sugar for a long time (referring to last time glucose and A1C was checked) according to doctor's orders. V6 stated it can affect the kidneys and the nerves, and cause [CONDITION(S)], general malaise and weakness. V6 was asked about the order for [MEDICATION(S)] 10 units BID and blood sugar check BID V6 wrote for R2 in March and was not carried out. V6 stated he has not seen the residents in person for some time due to the pandemic, and nurses carry out the orders when he speaks to them on the phone. V6 explained if a resident's blood sugar is high, or if the resident is having polyuria and polydipsia, the nurse should notify the doctor, but if the nurse did not put the order to check blood sugar in, and did not notify the doctor, the doctor will not know that the blood sugar is high. The American Diabetes Association Guidelines on Management of Diabetes in Long-term Care and Skilled Nursing Facilities: A Position Statement of the American Diabetes Association in Diabetes Care Volume 39, February 2016 states on page 4 under Framework for considering Diabetes Management Goals that patients residing in long term care facilities should have hemoglobin A1C less than 8.5 percent. This document also states that Fasting and pre-meal blood glucose should be 100-200mg/dl and Glucose monitoring frequency should be based on complexity of regimen and risk of [CONDITION(S)]. Also, Spectrum Diabetes Journal states: The primary physician had exclusive responsibility for controlling glucose levels and determining types and doses of insulin. Nurses were responsible for blood glucose monitoring, diet control, patient education, and administration of insulin injections. Reference: spectrum.diabetesjournals.org/content/23/4/268
