F607F · No harm, potential for more than minimal, widespread

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement its abuse prevention policy by: 1) failing to immediately protect R16 and all other residents after an allegation of staff-to-resident physical abuse was presented to facility administration; 2) failing to establish coordination between the facility's Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) program and the facility's abuse prevention program by tracking data of potential indicators of abuse; and 3) failing to develop plans of care for identified offenders that included recommendations made by the state police. These failures affect 3 residents (R16, R37, R63) in a sample of 68 residents. These failures have the potential to affect all 238 residents that reside in the facility and place all residents at risk for abuse. Findings include: Facility census (7/13/2026) documents 238 residents reside in the facility. 1) R16's face sheet documents R16 is a [AGE] year-old resident with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, asthma, cannabis use, and suicidal ideations. R16's Minimum Data Set (4/28/2026) documents a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating R16 is cognitively intact. R16's care plan (6/27/2026) documents R16 has have factors that may increase R16's susceptibility to abuse/neglect. R16 demonstrates: Behavior that might be characterized as provoking, antagonizing, disrespectful, angry, insensitive, &/or annoying., Current or H/O Conflict between/with roommate(s), Delusions/Hallucinations, Diagnosis of Mental Illness I am observed/monitored to mitigate potential risk towards becoming a recipient or perpetrator of abuse/neglect or further trauma. Additionally, R16's care plan (6/17/2026) documents R16 frequently threatens to call the state survey agency, ombudsman, police, and attempting to justify offensive behaviors and interventions include assure me that staff are more than willing to address legitimate concerns and involving state survey officials, the police or the EMS will likely only result in more frustration and negative consequences for him/her personality (i.e., a monetary fine for abuse of the EMS) (6/12/2026). On 7/14/2026 at 1:15 PM, the resident council voiced concerns the security staff do not treat the residents with dignity and respect. The council expressed security staff often bark/yell at residents, demand for them to do things, and handle residents roughly, often hitting residents/using corporal punishment. The council understands the residents can be irate or physically aggressive with staff based on their mental illness but does not excuse the staff's behavior for hitting residents or yelling at residents. On 7/16/2026 at 10:31 AM, V89 (Security Guard) was sitting in a chair facing the west hallway. R16 was pacing in the east hallway and appeared in distress. R16 stated V89 had been threatening R16 to make R16 stay in his room. R16 recalled on 7/7/2026 in the afternoon, They moved me and put me on 1:1 (monitoring) for no reason. I was mad. I tried to leave my room and (V89) told me to get the f*** back into my room. (V89) kept coming at me and he choked me. I got him off and (V89) kept talking s***. Then, (V89) was hitting me, threating me that (V89) was gonna (sic) hit me with the fan in my room. (V89) continued to bully me since then. Man, I'm afraid. That's why I called the cops because (V89) choked me. I felt suicidal because I felt so unsafe. I been telling everyone they all know. I have schizophrenia so no one will believe me that it happened. I feel like I have to defend myself from him, like (V89) might try to do it again. (V89) is working on this unit now. On 7/16/2026 at 10:37 AM, V1 (Administrator) affirmed V1 was already aware of an allegation. V1 explained V1 was aware R16 was suicidal and was sent to the hospital for suicidal ideation. V1 was alerted by V91 (Case Manager, Registered Nurse) of an allegation, but V91 told V1 R16 said nothing happened. V1 stated V91 could be contacted for more information. When R16 came back from the emergency department visit, V1 recalled asking R16 if R16 had any problems with any staff members. R16 denied any issues and was more concerns about cigarettes, so V1 laid the issue to rest. On 7/16/2026 at 10:49 AM, V89 was on R16's floor. V89 denied the incident occurred and stated R16 frequently makes allegations up when things don't go R16's way. R16 will call police to get him out of situations.

Email chain, dated 7/8/2026, documents V91 emailed V1 and V2 at 3:52 PM stating, I am following up regarding a phone call I received from (R16). During the call, (R16) reported an allegation that a staff member identified as (V89) choked (R16) in his room and subsequently threatened to hit (R16) with a fan. (R16) stated that he called 911 to report the incident to law enforcement. (R16) further reported that following the incident, (R16) was transported to the hospital for evaluation. I know (R16) has behaviors of allegations in the past but was this investigated at all? Thank you! . On 7/8/2026 at 6:33 PM, an email replied from V2 (Director of Nursing)'s email stating, Hey (V91)!! That's actually not true. (R16) was caught smoking marijuana and his pass was revoked due to contraband. (R16) called 911 and told them he was suicidal. When the officer arrived (R16) told the officer the same thing and we then sent him out. (R16) does this every time his pass is taken away. On 7/16/2026 at 3:15 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated V2 was unaware of any allegation between V89 and R16. Email chain between V91, V1, and V2 was reviewed with V2. V2 denied any recollection of reading the email. V2 affirmed V4 (Infection Preventionist) has access to V2's email and may have responded. V2 stated choking is a serious allegation of physical abuse. V2 affirmed V89 should have been suspended pending investigation. V2 explained the purpose of suspending the staff member is to assure no further contact can be made between the staff and the resident. By not suspending V89, V2 asserted V89 had continued access to R16 and all other residents in the facility. V2 stated all residents of the facility have complex psychiatric issues, and all are at risk for abuse. On 7/20/2026 at 10:34 AM, V4 (Infection Preventionist) recalled V1 couldn't get a hold of V2 (Director of Nursing) so V1 called V4 asking V4 to check V2's email because there was an email from R16's case manager (V91). The email said R16 reported to V91 that R16 had been choked by V89. V4 affirmed a staff member choking someone is an allegation of physical abuse. V4 explained choking is when someone intentionally cuts of someone's airway and ability to breathe. Choking can cause damage to the airway, loss of consciousness or if long enough, can result in the resident's death. V4 confirmed V4 replied to the email. V4 denied knowledge of any abuse allegation, reviewing/collecting any statements or any other investigative/reporting processes prior to replying and was told it was a behavior. V4 denied knowledge if V89 was ever suspended pending an investigation. V4 stated, (V1) is the Abuse Prevention Coordinator and is typically responsible for obtaining statements. (V1) was aware, if (V1) chose not to investigate it or report it, that's on (V1), that's not on me. On 7/21/2026 at 10:51 AM, V1 (Administrator) confirmed V1 is the Abuse Prevention Coordinator. V1 confirmed there were no other abuse allegations completed that involved R16 prior to 7/16/2026. V1 stated the first time V1 heard the allegation was on 7/16/2026 from the surveyor (this statement contradicts V1's statement on 7/16/2026). V1 explained V1 saw an email from an insurance case manager and deferred it to the nursing department. V1 could not get a hold of V2 (Director of Nursing), so V1 called V4. V4 said R16 was having behaviors, was saying R16 was suicidal, and knew what was going on. V1 denied V4 said anything about an abuse allegation (choking or threatening) to V1. V1 stated if V1 knew there was an allegation of choking, V1 would have suspended V89 right away. V1 affirmed the abuse policy requires the facility to suspend staff pending an investigation. V1 stated V89 continued to work after the allegation was submitted to the facility on 7/8/2026, and had continued access to R16 and all other residents which could harm the other residents. 2) R37's face sheet documents R37 is a [AGE] year-old resident with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus, paranoid schizophrenia, and hypertension.

V38 responded they brought up some linen this morning, but they were not enough to go round all the residents, and she was waiting for more linen from the laundry. On 7/14/26 at 10:13am, V31(Laundry Aide) stated there's enough linen for all the floors. As long as the CNAs put the dirty linen in the laundry chute in a timely manner, she would wash the linen and bring them back to the floors. V31 showed the surveyor the laundry chute and the clean linen she was putting together to send to the 8th floor. 9.On 07/13/2026 at 9:30 AM, the air conditioner in a resident's room was leaking, with towels on the ground by the air conditioning unit.

F641E · No harm, potential for more than minimal, pattern

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to complete assessments accurately and failed to complete the Minimum Data Set accurately in accordance with RAI guidelines. These failures affected four residents (R1, R2, R5, & R6) in a sample of 64. Findings include: 1) R5 is a [AGE] year-old female resident with diagnoses including: Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, unspecified dementia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, autistic disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety, and cognitive communication deficit. R5's Minimum Data Set (MDS) (6/3/2026) documents R5 used a other physical restraint less than daily in the lookback period, and R5's chair preventing rising was not assessed. R5's physician orders do not document any current, discontinued, or cancelled physical restraint active during the lookback period of the minimum data set. R5's progress notes do not document any use of a physical restraint during the lookback period of the minimum data set. R5's care plan does not identify any current, discontinued or cancelled physical restraint use in the lookback period of the Minimum Data Set. On 7/15/2026 at 11:13 AM, V8 (Restorative Director) affirmed V8 is responsible assessing and managing restraint use in the facility. V8 denied R5 ever used any restraints since admission to the facility. V8 reviewed R5's Minimum Data Set (6/3/2026) and affirmed the MDS was coded incorrectly. On 7/15/2026 at 11:16 AM, V14 (Minimum Data Set Coordinator, Licensed Practical Nurse) explained the purpose of the Minimum Data Set is to identify care needs for the resident and drives the care plan. V14 affirms the facility uses the resident assessment instrument to guide coding of the Minimum Data Set. CMS' RAI (Resident Assessment Instrument) Manual 3.0 (10/2025) documents coding instructions for physical restraints and instructs staff to identify all physical restraints that were used at any time (day or night) during the 7-day look back period. After determining whether or not an item listed in (P0100) is a physical restraint and was used during the 7-day look-back period, code the frequency of use: Code 0, not used: if the item was not used during the 7-day look-back period or it was used but did not meet the definition. Code 1, used less than daily: if the item met the definition and was used less than daily during the observation period. Code 2, used daily: if the item met the definition and was used on a daily basis during the look-back period. 2) R1's FRI (Facility Reported Incident), dated 4/27/26, documents, Resident (R1) who is ambulatory without assistance was observed on the floor in the men's bathroom sitting upright. Upon assessment, resident (R1) complained of pain to the right lower extremity. Physician was notified and provided orders to obtain X-ray of the right lower extremity. Upon receipt of the X-ray results, the resident (R1) was noted to have a right acute intertrochanteric proximal femur fracture. The on-call provider was notified and transferred to hospital for further evaluation and treatment. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it was determined that the resident's (R1) right hip fracture was sustained as a result of an unwitnessed fall occurring during independent ambulation in the bathroom, during which the resident (R1) lost balance and was observed seated on the floor. The resident (R1) is ambulatory without assistance and has a history of cognitive impairment, which may impact safety awareness. Review of the resident's (R1) care plan confirmed that appropriate interventions were in place at the time of the incident, consistent with the resident's (R1) baseline functional status. The resident (R1) was transferred to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment, where he (R1) underwent hip surgery. The resident (R1) has since returned to the facility and will follow up with orthopedics in three weeks. R1's face sheet documents an original admission date of 7/16/24 and diagnoses that include but are not limited to weakness, abnormal posture, dementia, lack of coordination, attention and concentration deficit, slowness and poor responsiveness, cognitive communication deficit, epilepsy, depression, and schizoaffective disorder. R1's BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score, dated 6/10/26, is 5 which indicates R1's cognition is severely impaired. R1's MDS (Minimum Data Set) section GG, dated 4/10/26 (prior to fall on 4/26/26), per V52 (Assistant Restorative Directive/Registered Nurse), documents R1 requires supervision or touching assistance with both toilet transfers and walking 10 feet. R1's Fall Risk Review, dated 4/26/26 (completed after fall on 4/26/26), documents a score of 10, which indicates R1 is at high risk for falls. Upon review of R1's Fall Risk Review, dated 4/26/26, question 3. Does the resident have a history of falls within the last 3 months? was answered inaccurately with no, and question 7. Ambulation is answered as independent. R1 fell on 4/26/26 indicating R1 has a history of falls. R1's MDS (Minimum Data Set) section GG, dated 4/10/26 (prior to fall on 4/26/26), documents R1 requires supervision or touching assistance with both toilet transfers and walking 10 feet indicating R1 does not ambulate independently. R1 was unable to be interviewed due to altered mental status. On 7/14/26 at 2:54PM, V8 (Restorative Director) affirmed R1 requires supervision and/or one touch assistance during ambulation and ADLs (toileting). V8 affirmed R1 is not ambulatory without assistance. 3) R6's FRI (Facility Reported Incident), dated 5/20/26, documents, Resident (R6) was seated in dining room chair during meal service, removed protective helmet, and began eating. Resident (R6) subsequently slid from dining chair to the floor and struck the right side of head against chair during descent. Immediate assessment initiated. Resident (R6) observed with small open area to right side of head. Physician notified with new order to transfer resident to hospital for further evaluation and treatment. Conclusion: The facility completed a comprehensive investigation regarding the resident's fall incident during meal service. Based on the findings, it was determined the resident (R6) experienced a self-initiated slide from the dining room chair to floor after removing his (R6) protective helmet while seated for breakfast. During the decent, the resident (R6) struck the right side of his (R6) head against the chair, resulting in a small open area to the scalp. The resident (R6) has since returned from the hospital with a diagnosis including a fractured scapula and 3 staples to the scalp area related to the injury sustained during the fall. Review of the investigative findings determined the fall was accidental in nature and related to the resident's (R6) self-initiated movement while seated during meal service. R6's face sheet documents an admission date of 1/29/26 and diagnoses that include but are not limited to dementia, paranoid schizophrenia, dyskinesia, osteoarthritis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. R6's BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score, dated 6/8/26, is 6, which indicates R6's cognition is severely impaired. R6's Fall Risk Review, dated 5/14/26 (after R6's fall on 5/14/26), is 1. Question 3. Does the resident have a history of falls within the last 3 months? was answered inaccurately with no. R6 fell on 5/14/26. Question 4. Is resident receiving a medication that affects awareness, judgement or safety? (e.g. Anti-Anxiety, Antibiotics, Anticoagulants, Antihistamines, Anti-hypertensives, Anti-Parkinson, Anti-seizure, Diuretics, Narcotics, Psychotropics, Sedative/Hypnotics) was answered inaccurately with no. Record review of R6's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated May 2026, documents R6 was receiving Zyprexa, Divalproex Sodium, Trazadone, and Oxcarbazepine at the time of the fall. R6's Fall Risk Review, dated 5/20/26, is 9. Question 4. Is resident receiving a medication that affects awareness, judgement or safety? (e.g. Anti-Anxiety, Antibiotics, Anticoagulants, Antihistamines, Anti-hypertensives, Anti-Parkinson, Anti-seizure, Diuretics, Narcotics, Psychotropics, Sedative/Hypnotics) was answered inaccurately with no. Record review of R6's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated May 2026, documents R6 was receiving Zyprexa, Divalproex Sodium, Trazadone, and Oxcarbazepine at the time of the fall. R6 was unable to be interviewed due to altered mental status. On 7/16/26 at 3:13PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) said Absolutely, V2 expects the fall resident's fall risk assessments to be filled out accurately. V2 said, Fall assessments tell you how much a resident's risk level is for potentially falling and determine what to put in place to reduce risk of falling. When answering the question of a fall in past 3 months, when I do it, I don't count day of. Should I be? I look to see if a fall happened before that current day. V2 affirmed R1's fall assessments were not answered correctly because R1 does not ambulate without assistance (question #7) and R6 is on medications that affect awareness, judgement or safety (question #4). 4) R2 is a [AGE] year-old female with a past medical history of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, alcohol abuse, suicidal ideations, anxiety disorder, vitamin D deficiency, obesity, alcohol abuse, HTN, anxiety disorder, etc. Minimum data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 4/7/2026, (Quarterly) section C (cognitive) scored R2 with a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 14, indicating R2 is cognitively intact; section GG (functional of the same assessment documented R2 requires supervision for all activities of daily living (ADL) care needs including ambulation. R2 had a fall on 6/15/2026 while smoking in the patio. Fall risk assessment, dated 6/15/2026, documented the following: Reason for review-other, Does the resident have a history of fall in the last 3 months-No, Fall history-No, Ambulation-independent, Gait/balance- normal. Record review of facility policy titled, Guidelines for Incidents/Accidents/Falls, dated 6/30/23, documents, 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. It will be part of the QAPI (Quality Assurance—monthly meeting) Agenda. If the incident/accident is significant and requires outside emergency intervention/treatment, the Administrator and DON will be notified immediately that emergency services were called and what the circumstance were that required that intervention. Other required notifications will occur as well. A trigger call will be held with the members of the Regional Team if the incident/fall meets trigger call criteria. All falls will have a site investigation by appropriate staff in an effort to define the root cause of the fall. This will help provide information to enable staff to roll out interventions to prevent another similar occurrence. Note: Each fall needs a new care plan intervention rolled out. Therapy should be involved to some degree in all post fall reviews to offer any input or to determine if a screen or being added to therapy case load is appropriate. Residents are assessed for Fall Risk upon admission, -admission, quarterly and when there is a change of condition. The resident has a care plan put into place with interventions, based on their individual risk factors at the time of the Falls Assessment. When evaluating residents for fall potential or post fall—the list below needs to be considered for the need of interventions to prevent further falls. Any incident/accident/fall that meets the reporting criteria of the state/federal regulations will be reported timely and accurately, to include the initial as well as the follow up report. Any incident/accident that meets criteria to be reported to the authorities (police), Ombudsman, Adult Protection Services will be reported. This will be documented within the investigation file. Based on the results of the incident/accident/fall, the resident's care plan will be addressed to ensure that any needed points of focus have measurable goals with appropriate interventions in place. Record review of facility policy titled, Policy and Procedure of Comprehensive Care Plans, dated July 2022, documents, Policy: Comprehensive Care Plans are to be done with every New admission, Annual, Significant change in status and every Quarterly. Comprehensive Care Plan will be developed for each resident that includes; problem/need of the resident, measurable objectives and interventions to meet the resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the Comprehensive Assessment. The facility interdisciplinary team, in conjunction with the resident, resident's family, surrogate, or representative, as appropriate, will develop quantifiable objectives for the highest level of functioning the resident may be expected to attain, based on the Comprehensive assessments and the CAAs. The Comprehensive Care Plans will be reviewed and updated every quarter (90 days) at minimum. The facility may need to review the care plans more frequently based on changes in the resident's condition and/or newly developed health/psychosocial well-being issues. Record review of pamphlet titled, RESIDENTS' RIGHTS' For People In Long-Term Care facilities, revised date 11/18, documents, Your facility must treat you with dignity and respect and must care for you in a manner that promotes your quality of life. Your facility must provide equal access to quality care regardless of diagnosis. You must not be abused, neglected, or exploited by anyone - financially, physically, verbally, mentally, or sexually. Your facility must be safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike. You may participate in developing a person-centered care plan which states all the services your facility will provide to you and everything you are expected to do. This plan must include your personal and cultural choices. Your facility must make reasonable arrangements to meet your needs and choices. You should receive the services and/or items included in the plan of care.

Based on interview and record review, to provide adequate supervision and interventions for a resident, R2, assessed as a smoker. This failure resulted in R2 sustaining a fall while unsupervised. Findings include: R2 is a [AGE] year-old female with a past medical history of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, alcohol abuse, suicidal ideations, anxiety disorder, vitamin D deficiency, obesity, hypertension, anxiety disorder, etc. 07/13/2026 11:15AM, R2 was in bed, awake and alert, stated she is doing okay. R2 was noted with a cast to her left leg. R2 was asked what happened, and she said she fell on the patio and twisted her ankle. R2 was outside for a smoke break, she smoked an e-cigarette (vape) and a regular cigarette, then became lightheaded and fell. Staff were available and they called the nurse. On 07/14/2026 11:10AM, R2 said she purchased it, not by herself, she gave staff (V49) $20.00, and the staff bought it for her. 07/14/2026 11:42 AM, V49 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) said she is familiar with R2 before she moved to another floor. Resident stays by herself and smokes sometimes. R2 does not go out on a pass, she buys cigarettes from the facility. V49 denied ever purchasing an e-cigarette for R2, she said she probably got it from other residents. Some residents can buy stuff and sell it to other residents though they are not supposed to do that. Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 7/7/2026, section C (cognitive) scored R2 with a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 12, indicating R2 is somewhat cognitively intact, section GG (functional) of the same assessment documented R2 requires supervision for all activities of daily living (ADL) care needs. Smoking risk assessments, dated 10/10/2024, 4/4/2025, 7/4/2025, 10/3/2025 and 1/5/2026, all documented R2 is a nonsmoker and is not at risk of injury to herself or others. Active physician order for R2 indicates she is currently taking the following medications: Risperidone 1mg PO BID (Dx. Schizophrenia Ix. Delusions) Fluphenazine [DATE]mg IM q4weeks (Dx. Schizophrenia, Ix. Psychosis) Quetiapine 500mg PO at bedtime (Dx. Schizophrenia) Lamotrigine 25mg PO BID (Dx Schizophrenia. Ix. mood instability) Doxepin 6mg PO at bedtime, (Dx.

Sleep disturbances) Melatonin 5mg PO at bedtime (Dx. Insomnia Ix. Sleep Disturbances) Benztropine for 5mg every 12 hours for EPS. R2 does not have any physician orders to smoke. Smoking care plan, initiated 6/26/2926, stated: I have the potential for safety hazard and/or injury related to smoking. Goal: I will not cause injury to self/others or cause damage to property related to smoking through next review. Interventions: Assess my smoking abilities quarterly and as needed, educate me as needed, provide me with copy of facility smoking policy, Smoking apron if needed, etc. 07/14/2026 11:15AM, V18 (Social services) said she can only go to the store to purchase cigarettes for residents if the facility does not sell it. Facility does not sell vaping cigarettes. V18 is not sure if residents are allowed to vape; vaping may require more caution than regular cigarettes. On 7/16/2026 at 9:46AM, V76 (Attending Physician) said he is very familiar with R2 and aware the resident had a fall recently, could not remember exactly what they told him resident was doing before the fall. V76 was informed the resident said she smoked an e-cigarette and then smoked a regular cigarette before she became lightheaded and lost her balance, and that R2 was assessed as nonsmoker according to facility smoking risk assessment. V76 was asked if R2 should be smoking an e-cigarette and at the same time smoke a regular cigarette considering her medical diagnosis and all the medications she takes and he said, Theoretically, no, but practically, it could be difficult to monitor what every resident is doing, there are usually about 50 residents with one person monitoring them. V76 was asked if R2 did not smoke an e-cigarette and a regular cigarette at the same time, would she have not gotten lightheaded and the fall could have been avoided. V76 said, I will say 50/50, it is hard to say but (R2) should not be smoking both cigarettes at the same time. The smoke monitor who gave her both an e-cigarette and a regular cigarette was not doing his job well. V76 added that he will speak to the facility and put R2 on a nicotine patch, her smoking risk assessment needs to be redone, and if the resident insists on smoking after the nicotine patch, V76 said he will suggest staff taking her out in a wheelchair and monitoring her closely so she will not fall again. On 7/15/2026 at 1:14PM, V67 (Smoke Monitor) via phone said he usually does not monitor smoking on the 5th floor but had to go up to that floor the day R2 had a fall. R2 had a vape in the cigarette cart, V67 gave it to her, and she went and plugged it in the nursing station for it to charge. V67 gave R2 a cigarette which she smoked while the e-cigarette was charging. R2 then smoked the e-cigarette while she was sitting at the corner. R2 tried to stand up and got lightheaded, lost her balance, and fell. V6 said that was the first time he gave an e-cigarette to R2. V67 does not know how the resident got it, but her name was on it, and he gave it to her. R2 does not go out on a pass as far as V67 knows. V67 was asked if the smoke monitors review resident's risk assessment before giving them cigarettes and he said no. V67 could not catch R2 before she fell and did not touch her, he just called the nurse. On 7/16/2026 at 1:16PM, V39 (Social Worker) said she is familiar with R2 and completed her smoking risk assessments. (R2) smokes occasionally. The purpose of the smoke risk assessment is to know residents who smoke and determine the level of supervision they need during smoke breaks. If a resident say they do not smoke during the assessment and later decide to smoke, then a new assessment will be completed. V39 added the last assessment R2 had, dated 1/5/2026, indicated she is a smoker. V39 was presented with the same assessment that indicated R2 is a nonsmoker, and V39 said, Based on this assessment, (R2) should not be smoking then. Guideline for smoking (undated) documented: Policy: There will be no smoking permitted inside the facility. Smoking will be allowed for residents, staff and visitors in designated areas only. Smoking must be at least 15 feet (or as dictated by any State/Local laws/mandates), from any doorway, window, or vent system of the facility. All residents' smoking materials will be kept by the facility in a secure location. Purpose: To provide a healthy and safe smoke environment as possible for all residents, staff and visitors to include those who smoke and those who do not smoke. Also, determine if a resident is an independent smoker or an At-Risk smoker before the resident exercises the privilege to smoke while residing in the facility. Further, to establish Smoking Guidelines for all residents that desire to smoke at the facility. Procedure: 6. Residents will be assessed for safe smoking behavior prior to smoking at the facility. This assessment is found on PCC. The residents will be further assessed for smoking quarterly, annually, after an unsafe smoking episode and after a change of condition. Any resident who has been a non-smoker and who decides to take up smoking will be assessed as a newly admitted resident who is a smoker would be assessed (as per assessment periods or indications). Note: Based on the results of the smoking assessment, education will be documented for the resident, their representative as well as any appropriate staff. The care plan and CNA assignment sheets will be reflective of the resident's needs as far as safe smoking. The residents will need a physician's order permitting them to smoke.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain one of six crash carts in the facility, with non-expired supplies and failed to stock the items in the crash cart checklist so the crash cart was complete and ready for emergency use. This failure has the potential to affect all forty residents on the eighth floor. Findings:On [DATE] at 10:38 AM, V26 (Licensed Practical Nurse) the eighth floor crash cart was reviewed. V26 explained the nurse may direct staff to get the crash cart during a medical emergency with a resident or staff. V26 stated the crash cart is checked daily by the night shift nurse to make sure that it remains unopened. The nurse documents daily the lock number and the nurse's signature signifying the lock is intact. The lock check also signifies that everything that is supposed to be in the crash cart is accounted for, and nothing is expired. V26 was asked how staff know that nothing is expired in the crash cart. V26 did not know and called V4 (Assistant Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist) who V26 explained maintains the crash carts. Review of the Crash Cart signature log shows no signature/crash cart check for [DATE] and shows the same lock number from [DATE] through [DATE]. The crash cart checklist outlined what should be in each drawer of the crash cart. When V4 presented to the unit, V4 stated V4 checked the crash cart last week to make sure that all items on the crash cart check list were present, and nothing was expired. When surveyor pointed out that the lock number was identical from [DATE] through [DATE], V4 stated I don't remember when I checked it then. V4 confirmed the crash cart should have been checked on [DATE], but there was no signature that it was checked. V4 also stated everything on the crash cart checklist should be in the crash cart and not expired. V4 opened the crash cart and no intravenous fluids (one liter 0.9 normal saline and 2 liters of D5W) were found as noted on the crash cart checklist. V4 stated, They should be in the crash cart. I don't know why they aren't. A suction catheter that expired [DATE] and suction connecting tubing that expired [DATE] were also on the cart. V4 stated during an emergency, everything should be in the crash cart and within reach to give the patient the best and the quickest care. V26 stated this lack of supplies and expired supplies means the forty residents on the unit today could be potentially affected if they needed the crash cart and it was not stocked or expired supplies were used to care for a resident. On [DATE] at 10:07 AM, V4 (Assistant Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist) stated there are a total of six crash carts in the facility.On [DATE] at 10:41 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, The expectation is the crash carts are checked nightly by the night supervisor. If the crash cart is not checked, the risk is that there will be missing or expired supplies in the crash cart. If there are expired supplies in the crash cart, the risk is that an expired supply would be used on a resident or staff. If there are missing supplies, the supplies are not available during a code or emergency situation, and it risks the resident or staff safety. Intravenous fluids are no longer stored in the crash cart. If the crash cart check list includes intravenous fluids, we are using the wrong crash cart checklist.Facility policy titled Crash Cart, dated [DATE], stated the crash cart will be stocked with emergency supplies as defined by the Crash Cart Checklist. The crash cart will be locked at all times to ensure that all emergency supplies are available during the event of a medical emergency requiring intervention, conforming with resident(s) Advance Directive.Facility policy titled Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) with no date stated CPR equipment includes: Ambu-bag, board, mouth screen, suction machine with tubing, collection bottle, sterile normal saline, extension cord, oxygen with cannula or mask, oxygen tubing.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to thoroughly investigate an allegation of staff-to-resident physical abuse. This failure affected one resident (R16) in a sample of 68 residents. Findings include:R16's face sheet documents R16 is a [AGE] year-old resident with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, asthma, cannabis use, and suicidal ideations. R16's Minimum Data Set (4/28/2026) documents a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating R16 is cognitively intact. R16's care plan (6/27/2026) documents R16 has have factors that may increase R16's susceptibility to abuse/neglect. R16 demonstrates: Behavior that might be characterized as provoking, antagonizing, disrespectful, angry, insensitive, &/or annoying., Current or H/O Conflict between/with roommate(s), Delusions/Hallucinations, Diagnosis of Mental Illness I am observed/monitored to mitigate potential risk towards becoming a recipient or perpetrator of abuse/neglect or further trauma. Additionally, R16's care plan (6/17/2026) documents R16 frequently threatens to call the State Survey Agency, ombudsman, police, and attempting to justify offensive behaviors and interventions include assure me that staff are more than willing to address legitimate concerns and involving state survey officials, the police or the EMS will likely only result in more frustration and negative consequences for him/her personality (i.e., a monetary fine for abuse of the EMS) (6/12/2026). On 7/16/2026 at 10:31 AM, V89 (Security Guard) was sitting in a chair facing the west hallway. R16 was pacing in the east hallway and appeared in distress. R16 stated V89 had been threatening R16 to make R16 stay in his room. R16 recalled on 7/7/2026 in the afternoon around 3 o'clock, They moved me and put me on 1:1 (monitoring) for no reason. I was mad. I tried to leave my room and (V89) told me to get the f*** back into my room. (V89) kept coming at me and he choked me. I got him off and (V89) kept talking s*** . Then, (V89) was hitting me, threating me that (V89) was gonna (sic) hit me with the fan in my room. (V89) continued to bully me since then. Man, I'm afraid. That's why I called the cops because (V89) choked me. I felt suicidal because I felt so unsafe. I been telling everyone they all know. I have schizophrenia so no one will believe me that it happened. I feel like I have to defend myself from him, like (V89) might try to do it again. (V89) is working on this unit now.

R2's diagnoses include schizoaffective disorders. R3's (5/2/26) facility concern form states resident misplaced $40. R3's diagnoses include paranoid schizophrenia.On 6/23/26, the surveyor reviewed facility assessments via EMR (Electronic Medical Records) however required abuse risk assessments were not documented for R1, R2, and R3.On 6/24/26 at 11:16am, V2 (ADON/Assistant Director of Nursing) presented trauma screenings for R1, R2, and R3 - not abuse risk assessments (as requested) and stated they use the trauma screen for the abuse risk assessment. The trauma screening form was reviewed and states risk measure for likelihood for psychiatric, behavioral and/or physical symptomatology related to trauma - risk for abuse is excluded. Surveyor inquired why abuse risk assessments were not conducted/documented for R1, R2 and R3. V2 responded, The Social Services Department said that everybody gets this screening; the title is a trauma screening, but they assess abuse risk for everybody. Abuse risk assessments for R1, R2, and R3 were not received during this survey.R1's (10/30/25) trauma screening determined a score of 4 (minimal trauma-related symptomatology). R2's (12/5/25) trauma screening determined a score of 5 (significant trauma-related symptomatology); therefore, assessments are recommended quarterly.R3's (1/8/24) trauma screening determined a score of 2 (minimal trauma-related symptomatology).On 6/24/26 at 2:35pm, V10 (Social Service) was asked if abuse risk assessments should be documented for each resident. V10 (Social Service) stated, Yeah, they should be done for each resident. V10 was asked when abuse risk assessments are required. V10 responded, Quarterly.

On 6/24/26 at 3:25pm, V2 (ADON) stated, We don't have a policy for abuse risk assessments. The screening assessment to determine the presentation of trauma factors including abuse and/or neglect policy (revised 6/24/26) states this nursing facility assesses each person to learn (to the extent possible) if there is any history of trauma/traumatic events. The purpose of this assessment tool is to screen residents to learn about any history of trauma and identify persons who have a history of mistreatment and/or to determine if factors exist making the person more susceptible or vulnerable to mistreatment. This information will be integrated into their comprehensive treatment plan assuring delivery of appropriate medical and mental health services. The assessment will be used to help identify persons who may present with a greater than normal risk for mistreatment in a residential setting. Persons assessed as low risk should be reassessed, as necessary, but during a significant change assessment is recommended, if moderate or high risk the frequency recommended is quarterly. Numerical scoring will indicate the risk measure for the likelihood for psychiatric, behavioral and/or physical symptomology related to trauma.

R1 did not nod nor turn his head left and right when this surveyor's inquired if he was wet. V13 stated he cannot communicate or hold a conversation. R1 has no POA (Power of Attorney) on his clinical record. V13 stated he should have one because he is not able to make a decision. V13 stated the importance of having a decision maker is to ensure the resident is getting proper care that suit his needs. The guardian can make the decision for him in the best interest of the resident. On 04/02/2026 at 11:46am, V5 (Social Services/Memory Care Coordinator) stated R1 mumbled, and V5 could not tell what R1 was saying. V5 stated he was in charge of completing the BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) of the resident. V5 stated R1 has a BIMS of 3, meaning his mental status is severely impaired. V5 stated when it was determined the resident has severely impaired mental status, the facility should have initiated the process of getting a guardian or surrogate for R1. V5 stated on day of admission, it was determined that R1 was appropriate to be admitted on his current floor which was a dementia floor; he was initially admitted from a different floor, and he was moved to his current floor on 09/04/2025. V5 stated he is responsible for reviewing the resident admission packet; he probably reviewed the admission packet and might have missed one or few things including R1's guardianship.

On 04/02/2026 at 1:09pm, V9 (Admissions Director) stated the staff in charge of making sure the resident has the capacity to make a decision during admission or couple of days after admission is the Social Services. V9 stated she only reviews the referral packet for financial background of the resident, mainly for insurance purpose only. On 04/02/2026 at 2:14pm, V14 (Assistant Social Services Director) stated Section C of the MDS (Minimum Data Set) would tell the staff whether a resident is capable of making a decision. V14 stated if R1 has a BIMS of 3, it means the resident could not answer certain things correctly, indicating his mental status as severely impaired and cannot make a decision. V14 stated the resident should have a surrogate or guardian; and the process of getting one should start right after it was determined he could not make a decision; ask family members to see if they are willing to step in as the resident's decision maker. V14 stated the importance of having a decision maker for a resident who cannot make a decision for himself so there is someone they can contact in case of emergency or with any changes in condition who can make a decision for the resident. On 04/02/2026 at 4:30pm, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated if the resident did not have anyone on file as decision maker, Social Services should have initiated the process of asking the family for surrogacy and if that did not work, start the process of guardianship. It has to be initiated when the BIMS assessment is completed, Social Services should have investigated if he has a family; or check if guardianship is initiated. V2 stated there is a failure in getting a decision maker for him and the purpose of getting a decision maker for him is to make sure his needs are being met. On 04/06/2026 AT 9:33am, V19 (Guardian Representative - Office of the State Guardian) stated the person should be assessed by the doctor to make a determination the person needs guardianship; if no family is willing to take guardianship, the facility has to submit a referral to the State for guardianship.

The (undated) Facility Policy on Adult Guardianship in the State documented, Background. It is the policy of this nursing facility to work with residents, family members and significant others to help residents receive appropriate representation and advocacy, as necessary, based upon their medical and mental health conditions. Guardianship for an adult in a long-term care facility may be necessary for an individual who is unable to make and communicate responsible decisions regarding personal care or finances due to a mental, physical or developmental disability. Courts ultimately determine the necessity of a legal guardian based on a thorough clinical evaluation and report. Guardianship is typically initiated by the Attending Physician or Psychiatrist. This individual will be responsible for completing the court mandated evaluation explaining the person's deficits/inability to provide self-care (in [NAME] County this is the CCP-211). Residents of LTC/SMHRF facilities should not have outside persons/entities soliciting them for matters of guardianship. This process needs to commence with a determination and discussion with the Physician(s). The facility will reach out upon admission to Guardian, including the identified representative of OSG or OPG (Cook County Office of Public Guardian). The Guardian's contact information shall be identified in the clinical record along with documents proving guardianship.The (undated) Your Rights and Protections as a Nursing Home Resident documented, What are my rights in a nursing home?

F684H · Actual harm, pattern

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to promptly identify and intervene for an acute change in a resident's condition related to resident not eating and failed to identify and have a treatment in place for a resident's pressure ulcer. This failure affected one resident (R105) who was transferred to the hospital and was admitted with a diagnosis of sepsis, dehydration, and UTI, R105 was also noted to have a stage 3 sacral decubitus ulcer. Findings include: R105 is a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with past medical history of cerebral infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dementia, type 2 diabetes, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, schizoaffective disorder, major depressive disorder, essential primary hypertension, etc. 7/23/23 10:35 AM, R105 was observed in her room in bed, awake and alert but unable to answer any interview questions, noted lying on an air loss mattress that was set at 400. V10 (LPN) was in the room with surveyor and was asked if the resident have any pressure ulcer, V10 said that he thinks so, but he is not sure, he is not the assigned nurse for the resident. 07/24/23 11:00AM, went to resident's room for follow-up observation, resident was not in her room, staff reported that resident was sent out to the hospital yesterday, surveyor asked why and V10 (LPN) said that resident has not been eating, this has been happening for a couple of days now, resident is sent out for failure to thrive. Minimum data set assessment (MDS) dated [DATE] section G (functional) documented that resident requires extensive assistance with one-person physical assist for all Activities of Daily Living (ADL), including, eating, dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene. Hospital record for R105 dated 7/25/2023 documented a primary impression of sepsis, dehydration, abdominal mass, disposition, inpatient admission, departure date and time 7/24/2023 -0035. Same document recorded a chief complaint adult fever, nurses note at 18:15 states in part, patient arrived via EMS from nursing home, elite reported nursing home requested patient to go to a different hospital but was diverted to the nearest ED, patient very hot to touch, moans to pain eyes open upon arrival.

RN reports she has been eating <25% of all her meals, RN also reports for the past three days, they have noted patient has been slightly tachycardic as well. Review of R105's facility medical record did not show any documentation of any changes in resident's condition or that family or physician was notified of such. Further review of resident's medical record showed the following progress note dated 7/12/2023: Resident noted with left upper buttocks skin tear as reported by CNA during care. Wound care nurse notified. Wound care MD to f/up tomorrow. Resident on new air mattress, maximum ADL care provided. Denies pain currently. Closed dressing with dry gauze applied. Turned and reposition. All concerned authorities notified. 4/23/2023, Alteration in skin integrity observed by staff while assisting with ADL care for resident. Upon assessment, the resident has signs of skin degradation to sacrum. No evidence of pain/distress observed. Area cleaned with NSS. Medi honey and sterile gauze applied.

Resident referred to TX nurse for follow up care. 4/25/2023, Wound care Nurse informed of ulcer to sacrum. Patient seen by wound care nurse and physician. Small wound observed to sacrum. Dressing done. Wound cleaned and covered. 07/24/23 01:41 PM, spoke to V24 (LPN/Wound care nurse) who stated that resident does not have any wounds, the nurse who first saw her made a wrong assessment, it was reported to her and she assessed it as an MASD, resident does not have any pressure ulcer or open wounds, she is just getting zinc oxide and foam dressing as a protective treatment, she has not been seen and is not being followed by the wound doctor. Per hospital record assessment, resident was noted with a sacral decubitus ulcer stage 3, and urine culture was positive for urinary tract infection (UTI). 7/26/2023 at 3:05PM V2 (DON) said that staff are supposed to notify the physician or dietician when a resident refuses to eat for 1 day, R105 has been having a decrease in appetite for a couple of days, the doctor should have been notified earlier prior to the time resident was sent out. A document provided by V2 (DON) titled change in resident's condition (undated) states that it is the policy of the facility to ensure the resident's attending physician and representative are notified of changes in resident's condition or status. Under procedure, the policy states in part that the nurse will notify the resident's attending physician when there is a significant change in resident's physical, mental or psychosocial status, the resident repeatedly refuses treatment or meds (two times consecutively or three times in a 7-day period). Note: if a treatment or med is given weekly or monthly, then one refusal will be considered as meeting criteria for physician notification. 44570 Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to 1. provide necessary supplies for a resident who has a urostomy, 2. Failed to follow their wound and skin care policies by not providing weekly assessments and skin treatments as ordered and 3. Failed to follow their change of condition policy which affected 4 residents (R59, R91, R105 and R215) of 66 reviewed. These failures resulted in 1. R91 exhibiting feelings of anger and sadness contributed by having to stay in his room due to the facility not providing urine ostomy bags; 2. R59 exhibiting anger and despair due to not receiving wound care as required; R215 not receiving skin assessments as evidenced by reopening of a healed wound; and 3. Not recognizing medical decline in a resident with an open wound who was transferred to an acute care hospital and subsequently diagnosed with a decubitus ulcer, sepsis and failure to thrive. Findings include: R91 was admitted to the facility 2/2/23 with diagnoses that included anxiety disorder and history of malignant neoplasm of bladder and obstructive and reflux uropathy. On 7/23/23 at 10:38AM R91 was observed sitting on the side of the bed, adjusting a urine ostomy bag. A strong odor of urine was noticed inside the room and there were several puddles of yellowish liquid on the floor. R91 was alert and oriented when the Surveyor approached and R91 pointed to the ostomy bag. R91 said angrily, they won't give me new urine bags. I used to change them every day myself and now that I live here I can't because I have to wait for them to give them to me. They told me that they are out of them, and I don't know what to do. They are always out of them. They gave me these other bags but there is nothing to attach it to! Surveyor observed a clear collection bag that appeared to be missing the stoma attachment. R91 pointed to the bag in use and said, I have had this bag on for over a week and its not sticking anymore so the urine leaks out and all around, making me get covered in urine. Urine all over my clothes and my bed, sometimes on the floor. I have to stay here in my room because they can't give me the things that I need and its humiliating. I can't walk around like this. I can't go to the dining room or make my phone calls. Can you help me please? I've tried everything, but I can't get it to stay on my skin, so all the urine just comes out. This is no way to live. I know how to take care of it, I've had this condition since the 1970's. I don't even need them to change it I just need the bags since they won't let me keep them. They want me to beg for them like I'm a dog or something. Tearfully, R91 showed the Surveyor that the ostomy pouch was unable to adhere to the skin. R91 was wearing an elastic belt to try and hold it in place, but it was not effective. R91 was wearing a disposable brief covered in urine. The ostomy bag was attached to a large drainage bag that contained dark brownish/red urine. At 10:56 AM V11 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) went in to speak with R91, told them that there were no ostomy bags available at the moment and told them door needed to be closed. He is in his room, because it wouldn't be sanitary for him to walk around without the ostomy bag. The ostomy is on right side of his stomach and urine can't be caught by a disposable brief. At 10:57AM V11 was interviewed and said, we don't currently have the ostomy bags and I have to find out where we can get some more. I don't know how long he has not had them. I came down to I closed the door because R91 doesn't have a shirt on, and the room does smell. On 7/24/23 at 1:30PM R91 was noticed in room lying down. The urinary drainage bag had still not been changed. At 1:35PM V11 said, I was able to get a new bag, but R91 refused it because he prefers the 2 piece attachment, and this is only 1 piece with the wafer adhesive. When I was here last Wednesday (5 days prior) someone from Supplies told me it would be ordered, but it hasn't come yet. I noticed that the drainage bag had dark colored reddish urine, but I haven't called the doctor about it yet. On 7/26/23 at 2:15PM, V2 DON said, I was aware R91 was out of urine ostomy bags, and I helped order new ones. We should not have let it get to the point where we didn't have any because we supply them, and it is his choice to use the device he is most comfortable with. The drainage bags should be changed by the nurse whenever there is sediment or unusual drainage. Any unusual drainage should be referred to the physician as soon as possible and communicated as a change of condition. On 7/25/23 at 12:35PM, R91 was observed dressed and sitting in the dining room waiting for lunch. R91 called the Surveyor over to where they were sitting and was smiling. R91 said, they finally got me what I needed and now I can come out of my room, I feel great. R215 is a [AGE] year old male who transferred from skilled nursing home to this facility on 2/4/23 with diagnoses that include Paraplegia, and Heart Failure. He was admitted to this facility with a wound on the sacrum and the anterior and lateral right ankle. During his stay at this facility, R215 required hospitalization for an acute illness. Progress notes dated 2/15/23 state that R215 returned from the hospital with a wound on the left posterior lower leg with a dressing intact. During this survey, the Weekly Wound Evaluation notes were reviewed and the last time the nursing department documented on the left lower leg (rear) was 4/10/23-including measurements of 6.5cm in length, 1cm width with a depth of 0.1cm. According to Wound care physician notes, the left posterior lower leg wound resolved on 6/1/23. On 7/25/23 at 12:00PM R215 was observed lying in bed, alert and oriented. R215 said that he had been getting wound care to his sacral and ankle wounds, but that he had not been getting dressings or treatment to the left leg anymore. R215 went on to say that although he does receive dressing changes most days, the dressing changes are later in the evening and because of this, the staff does not get him up out of bed during the day. R215 said, because he requires the use of a mechanical lift, the nursing staff tells him that it doesn't make sense to get him out of the bed before his dressings are changed and he has not been out of bed for about two weeks. R215 said that he is saddened that he can't even get out of bed during the day and can only lay there and watch television. R215 also said that since he is not able to reposition himself due to the condition of paraplegia, he needs staff to assist in changing positions in bed which does not happen regularly. At 1:00PM a skin observation was conducted with V43 RN and V44 CNA. V24 Wound Care Nurse arrived shortly after the observation began. R215's skin appeared very dry and scaly. V24 said, that she was only providing treatments to the sacrum and right ankle and that the wound on the left leg was healed. R215's lower legs were positioned flaccidly resting on foam boots and when V43 lifted the left leg, an area of skin was detached from the leg and remained on the foam. The skin on the foam appeared black with an odor, and the opened area on the leg was bloody. R215 said, because he is unable to distinguish any feeling below his waist, he would not be able to determine that the wound was there. V44 CNA said that she was assigned to R215 since 7AM and had not provided any care to R215 until this observation because he has a urinary catheter and not need to be changed regularly. V24 said, I would classify this as a skin tear, because it was healed before. On 07/26/23 at 12:12PM V28 Wound Doctor said when you have a wound that resolves it is prone to injury because the skin will never be the same as it was before the wound. It would not be classified as a skin tear. Depending on the circumstances, it would be classified as reopening or pressure wound depending on the characteristics on assessment. V2 DON (Director of Nursing) was interviewed immediately after this observation and said since R215 requires extensive assistance with turning, re-positioning, and bathing, I would have expected the nursing staff to have identified this skin issue before today. R215 should be repositioned at least every 2 hours to prevent new wounds from occurring and relive the pressure of any existing wounds. Skin should be checked during showers or bed baths which the nurse has to confirm, and it is expected that V24 conduct weekly skin assessments on Residents who are receiving wound care treatments, because they are susceptible for developing new wounds. Weekly wound care notes for R215 were not documented or provided for the months of June or July 2023. Care plan for alteration in skin integrity initiated and revised 7/4/23 stated I am at increased risk for alteration in skin integrity and at risk for additional and/or worsening of skin integrity issues Interventions include weekly measurements and documentation. Reposition resident frequently when in bed/chair/gerichair and/or Wheelchair. Any skin integrity issues/concerns ill be conveyed to the Charge Nurse for further evaluation and/or treatment changes/new interventions and the MD will be called [as needed]. R59 was admitted to the facility from an acute care hospital on 5/31/23 with diagnoses that included chronic venous hypertension with ulcers of the bilateral lower extremities. Hospital transfer and discharge notes document R59 was admitted to the emergency room with a chief complaint of bilateral lower extremity pain and purulent drainage. R59 stated to the hospital staff that he has chronic venous stasis, had been changing his dressings normally but had been unable to do so. The wounds were noted to be foul smelling with drainage and R59 received intravenous antibiotics for treatment of cellulitis. emergency room Physician Assessment and plan included the following statements: patient will need aggressive wound care and case management spoke with patient in [emergency room ] and will likely need placement in a skilled nursing facility On 7/23/23 at 11:48PM, R59 was observed alert and oriented lying in bed. Surveyor noted that both legs were wrapped in roll gauze that had areas of dried reddish brown stains that were also noticed on the bed sheets toward the foot of the bed. The bottom of the dressings on the feet were black from dirt. An odor was noted. R59 said, I hate being in this place, I don't belong here, and they neglect everybody in here including me. I have wounds on both of my legs, and I haven't had the bandages changed in about two weeks. I can't take a shower unless somebody takes them off and they have to put them back on when I'm done. I would change them myself, but I have to walk with a cane now because my legs are so weak. I have pain in both legs that has gotten worse, so I have to ask for medication which helps, but they are not getting any better because I don't get regular treatments. What am I even here for, if they are not going to help me?! TARs (Treatment Administration Record) for June and July 2023 were reviewed. An order was not placed for wound care of the lower extremities until 6/16/23, which was 16 days after R59 was admitted to the facility. Treatments ordered on 6/16/23: Xeroform to left and right lower legs after cleansing with normal saline solution or wound cleanser every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and as needed. Treatments were not signed out as ordered for June or July and there is no indication of refusal documented in TAR or progress notes. On 7/24/23 at approximately 1:45PM V2 DON said, the nursing staff should be following the orders as written for all treatments. If the resident came to the facility with an indication that they needed treatment, I would have expected the wound care nurse to complete a skin check on admission and get orders from the doctor. If the treatment was not signed out, we can assume that it wasn't completed. On 07/24/23 at 12:10 PM V23 Wound Care Nurse was observed during a dressing change for R59. R59 was noted with the same dressings in place from the previous day and V23 applied wound cleanser spray to detach the bandages as they were dry and attached to the skin. As V24 removed the dressings, she initiated a confrontation with R59 saying that he often refuses wound care, to which R59 became angry, yelling, and responded why would you lie on me!? I have been asking to have my dressings changed, I don't want to lay here like this! When V24 removed the dressings, the odor became more prominent. Areas of the skin was mottled, with some darker blackish brown and pink areas, and open sores that were draining. V24 said, the odor was not there before, and I don't know what it would indicate. I don't know how long ago this dressing was changed or if I was the last person to change it. I don't remember when I changed it last. R59 is not followed by the Wound care doctor because I didn't think he needed it because he is not being treated for pressure sores, so I didn't put him on the list to consult. I was using the xeroform to provide moisture to the legs because they crack and have drainage sometimes. I document on R59's skin condition weekly. On 07/24/23 01:53 PM V39 CNA said, R59 is fully alert and oriented. When I am here, I work with R59, and I notice that V23 is the only person who would do wound care- but not every day. I have never known him to refuse care or showers. 07/24/23 02:47 PM V24 Wound Care nurse said, I wrote an order today for wound care physician to see R59 on the next visit. Weekly wound care notes for R59 were not documented or provided for the months of June or July 2023. No Wound care Physician notes were documented for provided for R59 from admission to current. R59 did not have any assessments or care plans for refusal of care in the health record upon review. On 07/26/23 at 12:12PM V28 Wound Doctor said I round weekly at the facility with the wound care nurse who coordinates the residents that I need to see. I care for residents with venous, arterial and pressure wounds. I don't conduct any skin assessments as that is a nursing responsibility. I have never seen or consulted with R59. Policy and Procedure Wound Care Program revised 1/2/23 states in part; Policy: The purpose of this program is to assist the facility in the care, services and documentation related to the occurrence, treatment, and prevention of pressure as well as, non-pressure related wounds.

The only exceptions are if the facility needs to protect electronic equipment (i.e., computers, stereos, televisions, etc.) then the facility is allowed to utilize surge protectors only for connecting this equipment together to an electrical wall outlet. 44570 Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to assess for self-harm behaviors and failed to ensure resident care areas were free of disposable razors. This failure applied to one (R56) of one resident reviewed for supervision and resulted in R56 finding a disposable razor in a resident room and using it to cut her wrists requiring immediate hospitalization . Findings include: R56 was admitted to the facility 1/20/22 with diagnoses that include bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder. According to Facility reported incident on 7/07/23, a fell ow Resident alerted the nurse on duty that R56 was cutting their wrists in the bedroom. R56 was found by staff with a laceration to the left wrist, rendered first aid, and was subsequently sent to the hospital for psychiatric evaluation. R56 returned to the facility 7/13/23 with sutures to the wrist. On 07/26/23 at 10:07 AM R56 was alert, oriented and presenting appropriately to situation. R56 said, I wasn't trying to kill myself. I cut myself so that I could transfer to another nursing home. I was in my friends' room upstairs and saw that she had a disposable razor that was left on the floor. I picked it up and bust it open to take the razor out and cut my wrists with it. I went to the hospital, and they did a medication adjustment and review for 6 days. We are allowed to shave our legs but [nurses] are supposed to watch us in the shower. We aren't supposed to have them. We use them and give them right back for them to throw away. On 07/26/23 10:19 AM V12 Assistant. Social Services Director said, I was informed R56 cut her wrists and was told that we needed to place her on 1:1 and group sessions. I'm not sure why this group was not provided to R56 prior to this incident. When the incident happened, I updated the care plan and the self-harm assessments. Prior to that, I am not sure when it was updated, but it should be whenever there is an incident or quarterly. This is not the first time R56 has inflicted self-harm and it has happened at least once since I have been working in this facility, so yes there is a history of self-harm. Residents are not allowed to have razors without supervision to prevent harm from happening to them. On 7/26/23 at 2:20PM V2 DON (Director of Nursing) said, R56 told me that she found a razor on the floor of her co-peer who was in the hospital at the time. I asked the other roommate who was in the room at the time, and they said that they didn't know where the razor came from and that they just noticed R56 bleeding. The residents are not allowed to have razors. This incident occurred during the day where most of the staff was on duty. Either the staff didn't properly confiscate or dispose of the razor after a shower, or a resident brought it in from the outside. Either situation put residents at risk for harm and in this case R56 was able to cut her wrists. Initially the wound looked superficial because the bleeding was minimal. When we were notified from the hospital that the wound required sutures, we initiated an investigation to report to IDPH. Care Plans and Assessments were reviewed in the Electronic Medical Record, however the facility failed to provide copies of the documents requested during this survey. Care Plan: Self Harm revised 1/26/2023: R56 demonstrated self-harmful behavior of superficial cutting/scratching. When interviewed, expressing episodes of Depression and poor coping skills. Interventions 1/7/2023: o Sent out to hospital for further evaluation. o As warranted, conduct: behavior monitoring of the resident. o As warranted, conduct a room check/search & remove: any sharp objects or similar contraband (razor blades, razors) o Intervene when any self-injurious behavior is observed. Counsel and Communicate assertively that the resident is responsible for exercising control over impulses & behavior. ASSESSMENTS: Self Harm/suicidal ideation o 1/7/23: Resident demonstrating episode of depression leading to suicidal ideation/self-harm with a plan. Resident placed on close monitoring. Sent out to hospital for further evaluation. o 7/7/2023 14:48 Resident has a history of suicidal ideation behavior. o 7/14/2023 10:39 Resident at this time is low to moderate risk and had a previous attempt. will continue to follow up with resident and document accordingly. No assessments or updates to the care plan were conducted between 1/7/23 and 7/7/23.

R5 said I saw both, V37 and V69, carrying bloody towels and sheets. On 7/7/23 at 1:48PM V37 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated I approached R30 on 7/6/23 because he needed assistance, he wasn't dressed properly, and R30 became aggressive. V37 stated I called V69 to assist. I then left the facility for an appointment. V37 stated I did not see the altercation, but I was told about it when I returned. V37 stated in the morning while I was here R30 had no bruises on his face, but when I returned in the afternoon, I saw the bruises on R30's face.

V37 stated I left the facility around 10:00AM on 7/6/23 and returned at 4:00PM. V37 stated I did not punch out when I left, because my appointment is related to a facility injury. V37 stated I called V68 Nurse, to notify her I was leaving, and she said she was coming to the unit. V68 said V69 and V57 Scheduler, were on the floor when I left. V37 stated V69 did not report to me the incident that occurred with R30. V37 stated V69 should have told me or to the administrator when it happened. On 7/7/23 at 2:52PM during a phone interview, V69 Security, stated R30 was argumentative at the nurses' station. V69 stated R30 then grabbed me by the neck and scratched my neck. V69 said I tried to de-escalate the situation by myself, and I did not call for help or a code gray. I didn't think of it. V69 stated after R30 got his clothes, linens, and shower - everything he wanted R30 calmed down. V69 stated I never put my hands on R30. V69 stated R30 didn't fall. R30 was never on the ground. R30 was trying to grab me by the neck. V69 stated I was in the room for 3-5 minutes. During follow up call on 7/11/23 at 10:20AM V69 stated I didn't tell anyone after the incident. I should have reported but V37 was gone. V69 stated I used proper CPI (crisis prevention institute). I didn't touch R30's face.

On 7/11/23 at 10:03AM V71 Director of Customer Experience, stated I was doing my rounds and R5 pulled me to the side and showed me some pictures on his phone, and stated the resident had been beat up by a staff member. V71 said this was reported to him a little before 10:00AM. V71 said R5 was holding his phone with a picture in which he saw a man's face and some blood, and his face was down. V71 gave the room number and R30's name as the man in the picture R5 was showing him. V71 stated R30's face should not look like that. You don't engage in CPI and his face should not look like that. V71 said you need to call a code and get out the room when behaviors are coming like that. V71 described R30's face as swollen and said V30 said the [derogatory name] did it. V71 said I have seen V69 with black motorcycle gloves at work. On 7/7/23 at 2:58PM by phone, V68 (Nurse) stated she received a call from V37 (Nurse) around 10:00AM that she was to cover the floor, while he was out to an appointment.

V68 said it was around 12:00-12:30PM when V4 (co-administrator) arrived on the unit and asked V49 to come with her because there was an allegation. V68 stated they went to R30's room. V68 stated that R30 reported he got into it with a male security guard. V68 said she did a head-to-toe assessment on R30, and she observed R30's forehead was swollen and R30's lip was swollen. V68 said the inside of R30's lip was swollen, too. V68 requested the surveyor read the incident report that she completed. V68 said she asked R30 what happened to his forehead and lip, R30 replied, the male security guard did it, I told the nurse. V68 said she and V4 went toward V69 he was sitting by the elevator. V68 said V69 said no, no, the resident was aggressive. V68 said she observed V69's shirt pocket was ripped and V69 pointed out very minor scratches to his neck. On 7/7/23 at 4:21PM by phone, V12 Security Supervisor, stated a code gray is called when a resident is combative. V12 said if a resident puts their hands on you, that should be a reason to call a code gray. V12 said if you are using CPI to get the resident's hands off your neck the technique would not involve touching the resident's head or face. V12 said the code is called to prevent the situation from escalating and to show the resident they are outnumbered. I did not respond to a code gray involving V69 on 7/6/23. V12 said I did not hear the code gray, I was outside. V12 stated I was called by V20 Administrator, about 12:30PM and told to watch the security footage. I watched the video about 12:45PM. V12 said on the video, I saw R30 at the nurses' station and V37 waving for someone. V12 said I only saw footage at the nurses' station not the hallway. V12 said I was told that R30 said he was hurt. V12 said when I went into the video room, I watched the video alone. V12 said I didn't talk to V69, and I didn't see him before he left. On 7/8/23 at 1:40PM V4 Co-Administrator, stated I was notified by V71 Director of Customer Service, there was an incident where a resident alleged a staff member was inappropriate. V4 said I went to speak with R30 sometime in the morning of 7/6/23. V30 said she went to the floor and when she got there the first place, she went was to R30's room. V4 said R30 reported he and staff possibly had some kind of altercation. V4 said R30 said a staff member had physical contact with him. V4 said R30 described the person as having military fatigue, clean cut, and the color of his uniform was black, R30 gave no name. V4 said I asked R30 for a description of the altercation and he seemed disorganized and confused, he cognitively was coming in and out, and seemed tired. V4 said from the description of the staff person R30 gave it was V69. V4 said V68 Nurse, was present during R30's interview. V4 said I obtained R30's written statement before he left. V4 said V69 said he had redirected R30 back to his room. V4 said V69 said that Crisis Prevention Interventions (CPI) was utilized. V4 said generally CPI requires a party of two, but maybe done with one person. V4 said I would expect the incident to be reported if one person CPI technique was used, right after the situation occurred. V4 said the nurse would document in a progress note if CPI occurred. V4 said I am not trained to see if I saw on injury on R30. V4 said I did not see blood. V4 said I read V68's progress note where she reported R30 had some possible skin discolorations. V4 said CPI is verbal de-escalation of a situation, physical techniques are a last resort, and the holds are nonaggressive. V4 said R5 reported to her that V69 was in R30's room.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a plan to monitor and supervise a resident with a history of [CONDITION(S)] and self-injurious behaviors. The facility also failed to have a plan to monitor and supervise residents with physical aggression. These failures affected 4 of (R22, R23, R27, R28) 4 residents reviewed for supervision.

R23 was taken down and sent to the local hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. Findings Include: R23 was admitted with [CONDITION(S)] disorder.

On 11/02/2021, a phone conference with E1 (Administrator) was held to discuss the survey teams concerns for the late response to act on R1's change of condition. After the discussion the facility provided documentation from V16 (Physician) dated 11/02/2021 indicating he was in direct contact with V5 (Nurse Practitioner) as it was reported 14:20 hours (2:20 p.m.). V16 (Physician) documented: I was notified of the initial assessment and vitals for the patient and was in agreement with sending the patient to a local medical center as the patient's condition at the initial assessment did not warrant a 911 emergency call. I was contacted (no time given) by the nurse (not named) at the facility that there was a deviation from the initial assessment that was provided to my Nurse Practitioner and then I gave the order for the resident to be sent to the hospital 911. This second, contact with the medical doctor was not documented in the resident's medical record. On 11/9/2021 at 10:35 a.m., V16 (Physician) stated V5 (Nurse Practitioner) received the initial call regarding R1 change in condition.

V16 stated 911 should be called when a resident has a drastic change of condition. V16 described a drastic change in condition could be when a person's pulse is going below 40, oxygen very low of 75% to 80% and blood pressure of 70/50. V16 said R1's condition at 2:20p.m was not drastic, that's why R1 was going to be transported to CF hospital. R1's progress notes dated 10/19/21 at 3:20p.m, V16 stated oxygen saturation of 91% is okay for a patient that smokes, he would be concerned if the oxygen saturation was 70%-75% for someone that smokes. V16 said heart rate of 58 is okay. R1's progress notes date 10/19/21 at 3:40p.m reviewed with V16, V16 said oxygen saturation of 85% could indicate multiple things, one could possibly be an intracerebral bleed and a heart rate of 35 is bad but not drastic, V16 stated that's why he gave orders to send R1 to hospital so that she could be evaluated, but the ambulance took their time. V16 stated at 3:40 p.m., he was informed of R1's condition and he directed the nurse to keep him informed, if the resident condition does not improve to call 911, and at 3:50 p.m. the nurse called 911 because the heart rate dropped to 26. V16 stated the nurses did a marvelous job, V16 stated it was okay for the nurse to wait for Elite Ambulance to transport a resident to the hospital for evaluation unless the patient has a drastic change and R1 had a drastic change at 3:50 p.m. and that's when the nurse called 911. When asked does he expect the nurse to call 911 at 3:40 p.m. when the heart rate is 35 and oxygen saturation is 85%, V16 stated the nurse cannot call 911 unless the physician gives directives. V16 stated at 3:40 p.m. he gave directives to the nurse to keep him informed and if R1's condition does not improve to call 911 and that's when the nurse called 911 at 3:50 p.m. Facility policy Titled Change in Resident's Condition or Status dated 06/26/2011 shows in-part the purpose is to ensure that the resident's attending physician and representative is notified of change in resident's condition and/ or status. The nurse will notify resident's attending physician when there is a significant change in the resident's physical, mental and psychosocial status. Deemed necessary or appropriate in the best interest of the resident. A significant change of condition is a decline or improvement in the resident status that will not normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or by implementing standard disease related clinical interventions, impact more than one area of the resident health status, and review and revision to the care plan. Except in medical emergencies, notification will be made within 24 hours of a change occurring in the resident condition or status.

At 11:02am R29-R30's room had new observations of foil and an unknown object protruding from one ceiling outlet. On 8/5/21 at 1:47pm, V11 (Maintenance) said he has been at facility for about 2 months. V11 said about a month ago residents removed fire lights in the bathroom on the 5th floor and staff does not report when these incidents occur. V11 stated maintenance staff will find outlets burnt or cut electrical cords from televisions or over the bed lights randomly. V11 said they do not do any daily inspections because there is not enough staff. V11 said he has replaced about 20 outlet covers in 2 months but unable to provide any record of replacements or what they replaced. On 8/10/21 at 10:00am, V11 said he was aware that there was a concern related to residents placing cords/foil in the outlets. There is a possibility of fire if the breaker does not cut the power supply to the outlet. It is possible to get an electrical shock from the outlet if placing objects into the wall but V11 states he has not seen or heard of anyone getting hurt. V11 said they have not done any audits of the rooms but claimed to be placing wall plates over the outlets since June. When asked what rooms they were placed in, V11 was unable to recall specific rooms and unable to produce a log of replacements or receipts of purchases of items. V11 said he has replaced on cover on 8/6/21 on the seventh floor.

On 8/11/21 at 204PM, V55 (Electrician) said he has never heard of foil being placed in outlets and is not sure what will happen. V55 stated if there are observations of blackened areas around the outlet, it indicates there was some kind of fire near the outlet. In most cases the circuit breaker will trigger which will turn off the power supply to prevent fires or electrocution but there is always a chance that someone could be injured. Facility policy titled: Physical plant weekly inspections undated documents under electrical inspections: All receptacles and switches shall be inspected for cracks, condition of cover plates and any signs of shorts. 8/6/21 at 2:14pm, V4(APRSD) said all smoking materials are held by staff and no resident is allowed to smoke independently.

V8 said, she was informed by V5 that R1 needed 1 to 1 monitoring, V8 said, once on the 8th floor, she informed V5 to closely monitor R1 when they got off the elevator. V8 said, close monitoring and 1:1 observation is the same thing. V8 said, close monitoring and/ or 1 to 1 observation is when the staff keep an eye on the resident, the staff can sit outside the room or the staff can go in the room as long as they watch the resident. V8 said, maybe 15 minutes after 3:00pm, R1 and V5 approached the nurse station and R1 said you have 10 minutes to get me out of here or I will hurt myself V8 said, she told R1 okay, I'm working on it and you don't have to do that.

R1's local police report dated 7/14/2021 at 4: 47p.m. documents: Police were dispatched to a call of psychological evaluation at the facility. Local police dispatch advised that a resident cut herself in her stomach with a razor and still had it in her hand. Upon arrival, along with the local paramedics went to the eighth floor where the resident was located standing near security. The resident was identified as R1. V5 (CNA) advised that R1 had been discharged from hospital on the above date and was admitted to the facility. V5 stated that R1 appeared to be distraught upon arrival and aggressive. V5 advised that while in her room R1 began cutting herself with a razor. V5 provided the said razor, which in fact was an air vent from the room. The officer was able to locate the A/C unit in the room with the missing vent. As V5 walked into R1's room, she observed her cutting her lower stomach area and yelled at V5 to leave her alone. The air vent was ultimately removed from R1's hand before the police arrived. V5 further added that R1 has an extensive history in harming herself, as she was said to have swallowed pills, keys, and cut herself in the past. The officer took eight digital photographs of R1's room, the observed blood, air vent used to self-harm and A/C unit with missing vent. The photographs have been attached to the incident report. R1 was transported to local hospital for further medical treatment. On 7/20/21 at 5:50PM, the surveyor observed one picture in the police report of the object that R1 used to cut her abdomen. The picture showed a rectangular object which looked like the vent cover that was observed in the facility. The vent cover was noted to have coagulated blood near one corner of the surface which covered approximately a fourth of the vent cover. On 7/20/21 at 1:53 PM. while accompanied by V11 (Maintenance Director), the surveyor observed the radiator unit in R1's room listed on the incident report, there was a gray radiator /air conditioner unit noted in front of the window. The unit had 6 vents in place on top of the unit, there was an opening noted to the right of the unit (front facing). V11 said, there was a vent missing from the radiator/ air conditioner unit, V11 said, there's six vents and it should have seven vents on top, also there should be a door where the open area is on the unit. R1's Local hospital record dated 7/15/21 documents: R1 was admitted due to self-inflicted stab wound to abdomen with piece of furnace to a previous stab-wound site on abdomen. Under abdomen documents: 8cmx 2 cm x 3cm depth. On 7/20/21 at 4:34p.m V3 (Social Service Director) said 1 to 1 observation and close monitoring are two different types of observations. V3 said 1 to 1 observation (monitoring) is used when a resident threatens harm to self or others. V3 said, during 1 to 1 observations staff should be within arm's length of the resident. V3 said the staff should have visual control of the resident, they should be able to see what the resident is doing with their hands, staff must accompany the resident at all times and if the staff needs a relief, the staff must wait for coverage, staff should never leave the resident alone. V3 said close monitoring are frequent rounds, staff does not have to stay with the resident at all times. V3 said he does not know how often staff should conduct rounds during close monitoring observations. V3 said staff is trained in CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention), CPI is a non-violent crisis intervention used to deescalate a situation with a resident. V3 said CPI is used when the resident is past the point of de-escalation, when resident physically act out towards others, when residents try to harm themselves or others. V3 stated when a resident says they will hurt themselves, staff should seek help from the social worker, the social worker will then counsel the resident, and the social worker would get the nurse involved to contact the physician for orders. V3 said R1 has known behaviors of hurting herself. V3 said R1 required 1 to 1 observation because of her behaviors of self-harm. V3 said he was not there when the incident occurred but what he understands is that R1 was on 1:1 observation when R1 removed an object from the A/C unit in her room and cut her abdomen with the object. V3 said the facility failed R1 during this 1 to 1 observation because R1 cut herself while she was on a 1 to 1 observation. V3 said R1 should not have any sharp objects in her room or in her possession, nor can she have any objects that she can use to inflict harm to herself with. V3 said R1 is a danger to herself and others. On 7/21/21 at 11:19a.m V3 said it is difficult for the facility to conduct assessment on R1's behaviors, triggers and manage her because R1 usually is discharged shortly after her admissions to the facility. V3 said the 8th floor where R1 resides has not had a social worker for 2 months, V3 said he just acquired that unit along with his assistant. V3 said R1 is managed with 1 to 1 observation. V3 said the facility has given R1 a 30-day notice. On 7/20/21 at 12:30PM V4 (Social Service Assistant) said he was informed that R1 cut herself with a sharp object that she removed from the air conditioning unit in her room. V4 said R1 has behaviors of self-harm. V4 said R1 requires 1 to 1 observation at all times because of her behavior of self-harm. On 7/20/21 at 3:15p.m V10 (ADON- Assistant Director of Nursing) said the facility does not have a policy for 1 to 1 observation. V10 said, 1 to 1 monitoring/observation are for residents that are at risk for self-harm or harm to others. V10 said when a resident is on 1 to 1 observation the staff should be within arm's length of the resident, the staff should be in eye view of the resident and be able to see what the resident is doing with their hands, V10 said the staff should be able to touch, grab and intervene if something happens. V10 said 1 to 1 observation are conducted to prevent the resident from harming themselves and others. V10 said when V5 saw R1 standing at the window and moving her hands near the radiator vent she would have expected V5 to redirect R1, ask R1 what she was doing and also to redirect her to stop what she was doing, V10 said she would not have expected V5 to call a code gray unless R1's behavior was escalating. R1's hospital record dated 7/14/21 at 920AM documents under psychiatric progress note history R1 more towards baseline. She does have 2 sitters because she's very impulsive.

V3 said he did not observe an assessment conducted for R1. Facility undated policy titled, Guidelines for Handling and Addressing Behavioral Emergencies noted, in part the first step involves recognizing and handling the behaviors in the earliest stages, assess whether the anger/acting out is related to mental illness, dementia or other probable and perhaps transient factors. The escalating resident, staff need to be aware of how likely a resident is to lose control and exhibit a behavior- especially a behavior that might escalate- this comes from knowledge obtained on resident assessment as well as the care plan. It will need to be clear which staff member will be in-charge of escalation of behavior- the staff will follow the lead of the designated staff member in charge. Residents displaying a behavior need to have a staff member with them from time of the onset of the behavior until it is resolved or managed. This supervision maybe able to be reduced to lesser supervision such as every 15 minutes checks, depending on the ability of those involved to provide successful care and interventions to resolve the behavior. The duration of 1:1 supervision or every 15 minutes checks will be based on each individual resident/situation. Determine and define if there is history of aggressive and/ or unpredictable behavior. Attempts need to be made to quantify (measure) the resident level of upset or anger. Is the resident making threats or exhibiting motions that suggest they intend to inflict harm towards another person (s)? Immediately approaches, If the resident does not seem to start to calm down quickly call for assistance. If it appears that the resident is likely to harm themselves or others call a Code Gray This will alert available staff to come to assist as needed and also this notification lets staff know to deter residents from going to this area as well as alerting staff not to take any residents to that area. Remember there should be adequate staff dealing directly with the resident. Every resident behavior will be assessed and addressed individually. There is no standing program for behavior prevention. Be sure that the assessment and care planning and medication reviews as well as the individualized activity programs for residents with behavior issues are done accurately and timely. Facility policy titled Standard Supervision and Monitoring dated 6/10/20 noted in part these guidelines emphasize a proactive intervention promoting enhanced physical and psychological well-being. The facility recognizes supervision and guidance to the resident is an essential part of nursing care in which standard approaches are successful in meeting the resident's physical and psychosocial needs. At any time that the resident is being supervised or redirected during, the direct care staff member may need to redirect the resident through verbal and physical guidance and or care. If the resident cannot be guided, supervised, or redirected during intervals of rounds the resident may require 30-minute, 15-minute, or 1:1 supervision. The physician/ psychiatrist will be notified for further evaluation and treatment to further assess and treat the resident if increased supervision and guidance is required.

On 8/5/21 at 1:47pm, V11 (Maintenance) said he has been at facility for about 2 months. V11 said about a month ago residents removed fire lights in a bathroom on the 5th floor. V11 stated staff do not report when these incidents occur. Maintenance staff will find outlets burnt or cut electrical cords from televisions or over the bed lights randomly. V11 said they do not do any daily inspections because there is not enough staff. V11 said he has replaced about 20 outlet covers in 2 months but unable to provide any record of replacements or where they were replaced. On 8/10/21 at 10:00am, V11 said he was aware that there was a concern related to residents placing cords/foil in the outlets.

On 8/11/21 at 204PM, V55 (Electrician) said he has never heard of foil being placed in outlets not sure what will happen. If there are observations of blackened areas around the outlet, it indicates there was some kind of fire near the outlet. In most cases the circuit breaker will trigger which will turn off the power supply to prevent fires or electrocution but there is always a chance that someone could be injured. Facility policy titled: Physical plant weekly inspections undated documents under electrical inspections: All receptacles and switches shall be inspected for cracks, condition of cover plates and any signs of shorts. 8/6/21 at 2:14pm, V4(APRSD) said all smoking materials are held by staff and no resident is allowed to smoke independently.

V8 said, she was informed by V5 that R1 needed 1 to 1 monitoring, V8 said, once on the 8th floor, she informed V5 to closely monitor R1 when they got off the elevator. V8 said, close monitoring and 1:1 observation is the same thing. V8 said, close monitoring and/ or 1 to 1 observation is when the staff keeps an eye on the resident, the staff can sit outside the room or the staff can go in the room as long as they watch the resident. V8 said, maybe 15 minutes after 3:00pm, R1 and V5 approached the nurses' station and R1 said you have 10 minutes to get me out of here or I will hurt myself V8 stated, she told R1 okay, I'm working on it and you don't have to do that.

On 7/20/21 at 1:20PM V8 said, she knew R1 required 1 to 1 monitoring because she was informed of this and also, she used her judgement to determine R1 needed 1 to 1 monitoring because R1 has harmed herself about 3 times when she worked with R1. V8 said, R1 does not want to be in the facility, and she hurts herself when she wants to go back to the hospital. V8 said, she did not call code gray when R1 said, she was going to hurt herself. R1's local police report dated 7/14/2021 at 4: 47p.m. documents: Police were dispatched to a call of psychological evaluation at the facility. Local police dispatch advised that a resident cut herself in her stomach with a razor and still had it in her hand. Upon arrival, along with the local paramedics went to the eighth floor where the resident was located standing near security. The resident was identified as R1. V5 devised that R1 had been discharged from hospital on the above date and was admitted to the facility. V5 related that R1 appeared to be distraught upon arrival and aggressive. While in her room, V5 advised that R1 began cutting herself with a razor. V5 provided the said razor, which in fact was an air vent from the room. Officer was able to locate the A/C unit in the room with the missing vent. As V5 walked into R1's room, she observed her cutting her lower stomach area and yelled at V5 to leave her alone. The air vent was ultimately removed from R1's hand before the police arrival. V5 further added that R1 has an extensive history of harming herself, as she was said to have swallowed pills, keys, and cut herself in the past. Officer took eight digital photographs of R1's room, the observed blood, air vent used to self-harm and A/C unit with missing vent. The photographs have been attached to the incident report. R1 was transported to local hospital for further medical treatment. On 7/20/21 at 5:50PM, the surveyor observed one picture in the police report of the object that R1 used to cut her abdomen. The picture showed a rectangular object which looked like the vent cover that was observed in the facility. The vent cover was noted to have coagulated blood near one corner of the surface which covered approximately a fourth of the vent cover. On 7/20/21 at 1:53 PM. while accompanied by V11 (Maintenance Director), the surveyor observed the radiator unit in R1's room listed on the incident report, there was a gray radiator /air conditioner unit noted in front of the window. The unit had 6 vents in place on top of the unit, there was an opening noted to the right of the unit (front facing). V11 said, there was a vent missing from the radiator/ air conditioner unit, V11 said, there's six vents and it should have seven vents on top, also there should be a door where the open area is on the unit. R1's Local hospital record dated 7/15/21 documents: R1 was admitted due to self-inflicted stab wound to abdomen with piece of furnace to a previous stab-wound site on abdomen. Under abdomen documents: 8cmx 2 cm x 3cm depth. On 7/20/21 at 4:34p.m V3 (Social Service Director) said 1 to 1 observation and close monitoring are two different types of observations. V3 said 1 to 1 observation (monitoring) is used when a resident threatens harm to self or others. V3 said, during 1 to 1 observations staff should be within arm's length of the resident. V3 said the staff should have visual control of the resident, they should be able to see what the resident is doing with their hands, staff must accompany the resident at all times and if the staff need a relief, the staff must wait for coverage, staff should never leave the resident alone. V3 said close monitoring are frequent rounds, staff does not have to stay with the resident at all times. V3 said he does not know how often staff should conduct rounds during close monitoring observations. V3 said staff is trained in CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention), CPI is a non-violent crisis intervention used to deescalate a situation with a resident. V3 said CPI is used when the resident is past the point of de-escalation, when the resident is physically acting out towards others, when residents try to harm themselves or others. V3 said when a resident says they will hurt themselves, staff should seek help from the Social Worker, the Social Worker will then counsel the resident, and the Social Worker would get the nurse involved to contact the physician for orders. V3 said R1 has known behavior of hurting herself. V3 said R1 required 1 to 1 observation because of her behaviors of self-harm. V3 said he was not there when the incident occurred but what he understands is that R1 was on 1:1 observation when R1 removed an object from the A/C unit in her room and cut her abdomen with the object. V3 said the facility failed R1 during this 1 to 1 observation because R1 cut herself while she was on a 1 to 1 observation. V3 said R1 should not have any sharp objects in her room or in her possession, nor can she have any objects that she can use to inflict harm to herself with. V3 said R1 is a danger to herself and others. On 7/21/21 at 11:19a.m V3 said it is difficult for the facility to conduct an assessment on R1's behaviors, triggers and manage her because R1 usually is discharged shortly after her admissions to the facility. V3 said the 8th floor where R1 resides has not had a social worker for 2 months, V3 said he just acquired that unit along with his assistant. V3 said R1 is managed with 1 to 1 observation. V3 said the facility has given R1 a 30-day notice. On 7/20/21 at 12:30PM V4 (Social Service Assistant) said he was informed that R1 cut herself with a sharp object that she removed from the air conditioning unit in her room. V4 said R1 has behaviors of self-harm. V4 said R1 requires 1 to 1 observation at all times because of her behavior of self-harm. On 7/20/21 at 3:15p.m V10 (ADON- Assistant Director of Nursing) said the facility does not have a policy for 1 to 1 observation. V10 said, 1 to 1 monitoring/observation are for residents that are at risk for self-harm or harm to others. V10 said when a resident is on 1 to 1 observation the staff should be within arm's length of the resident, the staff should be in eye view of the resident and be able to see what the resident is doing with their hands, V10 said the staff should be able to touch, grab and intervene if something happens. V10 said 1 to 1 observations are conducted to prevent the resident from harming themselves and others. V10 said when V5 saw R1 standing at the window and moving her hands near the radiator vent she would have expected V5 to redirect R1, ask R1 what she was doing and also to redirect/stop what she was doing, V10 said she would not have expected V5 to call a code gray unless R1's behavior was escalating. R1's hospital record dated 7/14/21 at 920AM documents under psychiatric progress note history: R1 more towards baseline. She does have 2 sitters because she's very impulsive. Under short term goals dated 7/13/21 documents: Self injury- R1 seems to be injuring herself for strategic purposes that are unrelated to any suicide attempts or gestures.

All four consistently stated they didn't understand why V13 was talking to them like that and that they did not like how she spoke to them. R5 stated he was worried he would not get his pass to see his family. V13 was terminated for verbal abuse. V13 admitted to the conversation but not how she spoke to the residents. 6/24/21 at 10:37 AM, R5 stated, she (V13) was hostile and volatile when she addressed everyone. I got scared because she said she would shut down everything on the unit. I was scared that I was going to lose my privileges of socializing on the unit and not be able to smoke or be able to use my pass to see my family. 6/24/21 at 10:26 AM, R3 stated, V13 said she would shut down the whole floor, that she did it once and would do it again. She would shut down the smoking for the whole floor based on the actions of one person. She was yelling. Everybody on the floor could hear what she was saying. The staff just fail to communicate and have a lack of understanding. R3 was asked how V13 yelling made him feel. R3 stated, I just ignored her because based on something I say the staff will stick me with needles and send me out to the hospital. 6/24/21 at 10:49 AM, R4 stated, V13 came up to the floor saying if the floor gets out of hand again, we would not be able to smoke. She was yelling and screaming. I think V13 would have retaliated. It made me feel sad when she was raising her voice at me. I thought she would punish us all because she said she would. Personally, I got scared that whole day. Some of us look up to the staff and I think we have the right to get treated with respect and dignity. We feel let down because this is a person who we go to when we need something. 6/24/21 at 10:54 AM, R6 stated, V13 came up to the floor to find out what was going on. She said she would shut the whole unit's smoking down. We wrote statements about her. Her voice got louder and louder when she was talking. I felt kind of bad because she was going to shut down the smoking. I think she should have done something about the people who were doing it. She was trying to punish everybody. I felt it was unfair. 6/24/21 at 11:21 AM, V11 stated, I heard the commotion on 7th floor and thought something was going on with the residents and that's when I caught V13's voice. She was just screaming at the top of her lungs! She called the residents out of their room. She kept hitting the top of the nurse's station with her hand and telling them to cut down the radio. She told them to shut up and act like they have some sense. I will shut the whole 7th floor smoking down and no one will smoke. I've done it before and will do it again. She said she would not come up to the 7th floor again. She was talking to the residents like they were her children. I went to my administrators V6 and V14 and told them what happened. I could tell that R3 was upset. Her yelling was making the situation worse, she was stirring up the residents instead of asking them what was going on. R6 was agitated. R4 and R5 were all agitated. 6/24/21 at 1:00 PM, reviewed V13's Assistant PRSC Abuse Prevention Program Policy & Procedure form signed and dated on 2/20/20.

On 5/26/15 at 1:50pm, R2 stated the nurses do not come and get him to give him his medications if he is sleeping and does not go to the medication room. On 5/27/15 at 1:10pm, Z3(Pharmacist) stated a 28 day supply is sent to the facility and the unused medications are returned to the pharmacy. The resident only gets a credit for the unused medications if the blister pack is unused. If even 1 pill is missing, there is no credit for the unused portion. There is no credit to Medicare or Medicaid. Z3 stated [MEDICAL CONDITION] medications should not be left over if the doses are given as ordered.

Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to have an effective smoking program and monitoring system in place which prevent at risk smokers access to smoking materials in an unauthorized area and prevent residents from having facility's contraband items in their possession. As a result, staff members were unaware that an at risk smoker (R1) obtained non-permitted smoking materials. On 3/22/15 R1 used the smoking materials to cause a facility fire in a bed room, putting residents in the facility at potential danger from fire and smoke. This failure applies to 12 of 14 residents (R1, R2, R4, R5, R6, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12, R13, and R14) reviewed for supervision in a sample of 14. An immediate jeopardy was identified on March 26, 2015 and at 4:35 pm E1(administrator) was informed of the immediate jeopardy.
