Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure adequate staffing to provide restorative/mobility services and choice of shower frequency, in a sample of 20 residents and a census of 100 residents, resulting in resident choices not honored, unmet goals, and the likelihood for functional decline. Findings include: In review of the Facility assessment dated [DATE], the facility had 114 licensed beds and the average daily census was 104. The same assessment revealed services and care offered were based on resident needs and preferences; and 102 residents required assistance with bathing. The same assessment indicated specific mobility program was offered per individual resident needs that included transfers, ambulation, contracture prevention/care. The same facility assessment indicated there were zero restorative nursing assistants and would add two staff once staffing levels were reached. Mobility Registered Nurse (RN) D was interviewed on 8/15/24 at 9:37 AM and stated she was pulled from restorative/mobility care to work as the floor nurse approximately twice a week and there were residents that had not received mobility services as recommended by therapy due to staffing. 45135 During an interview on 08/15/24 at 10:54 AM, DON B stated they did not on the restorative plan, they haven't have a restorative program since January 2024.

RN D also stated she can get eight to ten residents seen in one day. RN D stated that staffing had been so bad that she got pulled to the floor once to twice a week, sometimes three times in a week. RN D stated ideally, they could have had 30-40 residents in the mobility program a week. RN D added that the restorative program stopped the end of last year sometime. RN D stated she had no backup, so when she is pulled to the floor, the CNA's try to walk residents if they had time. 49103 On 08/13/24 at 11:07 AM an anonymous resident was interviewed and was asked about choices concerning bathing. The anonymous resident said two showers per week would be preferred and explained that staff have said there is not enough staff . to provide two showers per week. Review of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for a period going back of 30 days confirmed the days of the week resident said the showers occur and that they have been documented as having been given only once per week. On 08/13/24 at 2:13 PM an anonymous resident was interviewed and talked about showers. I get one shower a week. I have said I would like two showers a week. The anonymous resident then explained the person spoken to was a shower attendant who said there was not enough staff to give two showers per week. According to Electronic Medical Record (EMR) on 8/13/24 the anonymous resident has a Brief Mental Status Interview score of 15/15 indicating intact cognition.

RN /HS G said the reason R41's Foley catheter needed to stay in place was something she would need to look at in R41's EMR or paper chart, because she thought there was something the physician said about the Foley remaining in place. RN/HS G was asked to provide documentation of R41's referral and Urology appointment being scheduled, R41 and her daughter's refusal at the time for the referral, and the reason the Foley catheter remaining in place since July of 2022. RN/HS G also stated that R41 was admitted to the facility with the Foley catheter in place, and said there had been no attempts to remove R41's catheter. As of 6/28/2023 at 2:44 PM, none of the requested documents had been received from RN/HS G. As of 6/28/2023 at 3:10 PM, none of the requested documents had been received from RN/HS G. Record review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Urinary Catheter Maintenance dated December of 2022, revealed under, Policy Statement: Foley catheters will be utilized and maintained in a manner to promote resident comfort while preventing the risk for catheter associated infections in accordance to CDC Guidelines., and under Policy Interpretation and Implementation:, 3. Indwelling catheters should be used only when clinically necessary. When an indwelling catheter is used, it should be removed as soon as possible to reduce the risk of catheter-related urinary tract infections. Upon exit of the survey on 6/28/2023 at 4:00 PM, none of the requested documents had been received from RN/HS G
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to 1) ensure timely follow up on pharmacy recommendations for one (Resident #66) of six residents reviewed for unnecessary medications and 2) ensure the facility's policy included timeframes for each step of the Medication Regimen Review (MRR), resulting in the potential for unnecessary medications and untimely follow up to pharmacy recommendations. Findings include: Review of the medical record revealed that Resident #66 (R66) was admitted to the facility 1/3/23 with diagnoses including chronic kidney disease stage 4, dependence on renal dialysis, gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis, and visual loss right eye, normal vision left eye. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 4/11/23 revealed that R66 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS-a cognitive screening tool) score of 13 (cognitively intact). Review of R66's monthly Consultant Pharmacist's Medication Regimen Review since 1/2/23 admission, reflected monthly review with pharmacy recommendations for January and March 2023. Recommendation dated 1/24/2023 stated, (R66's name) is currently receiving Maxitrol (neomycin-Polymyxin-Dexamethasone) (an anti-infective, steroid eye medication used to treat inflammation or treat/prevent bacterial eye infections) to the left eye twice daily. Please clarify - is there a stop date for this order? If this is a chronic order, please update the diagnosis for use, as blindness would not be an appropriate diagnosis for the use of this medication. D/C'd (discontinued) 2/23/23 was handwritten within the Follow-Through section on the report. Nurse's Notes dated 2/23/23 at 8:14 AM stated, Res (resident) seen by (Physician's name) for routine visit .(Physician's name) reviewed .pharmacy recommendations .new orders received to D/C Neomycin eye ointment . Review of R66's medication orders reflected that Neomycin-Polymyxin-Dexamethasone eye ointment was ordered 1/3/2023 and discontinued 2/23/2023. Review of Physician Nursing Home Visit notes dated 1/30/23 and 2/21/23 were not noted to include any mention of or rationale for use of Neomycin eye ointment with documentation noted to indicate, .Physical Examination .HEENT (head, ears, eyes, nose, throat) .Pupils are reactive to light and accommodation. Further review of R66's medical record completed with no indication that the 1/24/23 pharmacy recommendation was reviewed or followed up on prior to the 2/23/23 discontinuation of the eye ointment. Recommendation dated 3/27/2023 stated, (R66's name) is currently receiving Prilosec (Omeprazole) 20mg (milligrams) once daily. This medication is on the Beer's list (a list of potentially inappropriate medications for use in older adults) due to its risk of Clostridium Difficile infections and bone loss/fractures. If a resident is to stay on this medication, risk vs. (versus) benefit documentation should be provided . Within the section titled Physician/Prescriber Response, R66's physician indicated that he agreed with the recommendation, wrote D/C (discontinue), signed, and dated the form 6/5/23. Nurse's Note dated 6/5/23 at 9:51 AM stated, (Physician's name) reviewed pharmacy recommendations. DRR (Drug Regimen Review) completed, new orders received to D/C Omeprazole. Review of R66's medication orders reflected that Omeprazole 20mg was ordered 1/12/2023 and discontinued 6/5/23. Review of Physician Nursing Home Visit notes dated 4/13/23 stated, .Her overall condition has been stable since last evaluation .Her dietary intake has been good .Physical Examination .Abdomen: Soft, nontender . with no indication that 3/27/23 pharmacy recommendation to assess ongoing need of Omeprazole was addressed. Further review of R66's medical record completed with no indication that the 3/27/23 pharmacy recommendation was reviewed or followed up on prior to the 6/5/23 discontinuation of the Omeprazole. In an interview on 6/28/23 at 1:54 PM, Registered Nurse/Nursing House Supervisor (RN/NHS) G stated that the pharmacist generally completed resident chart review and recommendations during the last week of the month, the recommendations were forwarded to her by the Director of Nursing (DON), that she reviewed and placed the recommendation within the designated physician folder for physician review during the next routine visit for the indicated resident, and that once addressed they were forward to the Nursing Secretary to be filed in the resident's closed chart. RN/NHS G stated that she was unaware of any specific time frames for the review, follow-up, and completion of the recommendations and that her goal was to have them completed within a month from the time the recommendation was made but that due to time restraints, this was not always possible. Upon review of R66's January and March 2023 recommendations, RN/NHS G confirmed that she had completed follow-up on both, acknowledged that the 1/24/23 recommendation regarding the Neomycin eye ointment was not followed up on until the eye ointments discontinuation on 2/23/23 (one month after the 1/24/23 recommendation was made), and stated that she had no explanation as to why the March 27, 2023 recommendation for the discontinuation of Omeprazole was not followed up on until 6/5/23 (over 2 months after the 3/27/23 recommendation was made at which time physician provided order to discontinue the medication, per recommendation). In an interview on 6/28/23 at 2:28 PM, Director of Nursing (DON) B stated that the pharmacist reviewed each resident's chart monthly, that she received the recommendations from the pharmacy in a facility packet, and that she forwarded the medication related recommendations to the house supervisors for completion. DON B stated that she was not aware of any specific time frames for the completion of the recommendations, but her expectation was that once the house supervisors received the recommendations that they would review and address them with the physician within a couple week time frame. Upon review of R66's January and March recommendations, DON B acknowledged that the recommendations were not followed up on timely as stated that even if the physician wanted to wait to address the January recommendation for the Neomycin eye ointment until routine rounds, would have expected a timelier diagnosis clarification as the blindness diagnosis was not accurate and stated that the 3 month turn around time to address the March recommendation for discontinuation of the Omeprazole was excessive. DON B further stated that as she recognized that the monthly pharmacy recommendations were not being followed up on in a timely manner, planned to initiate audits to monitor there completion as the goal was for timely discontinuation of unnecessary medications. Review of the facility policy titled Maple Lawn Medical Care Facility Policy Medication Record Review dated 9/2021 stated, Policy Statement: It is the policy of this facility to complete a Medication Regimen review for residents admitted to this facility .Policy Implementation .2. The drug regimen of each resident will be reviewed at least monthly by the consulting pharmacist .4. The consulting pharmacist will report irregularities to the DON, attending physician and the medical director to be acted upon .a.

For excessive duration c. without adequate monitoring d. Without adequate indications for its use .
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to accurately monitor and document involuntary movements, in one of five residents reviewed for high-risk medications (Resident #35), resulting in an inaccurate monitoring and the potential for unmet needs. Findings include: Resident #35 (R35) On 6/26/23 at 11:00 AM, R35 was observed in activity, lip smacking was noted. 6/28/23 at 12:00 PM, R35 was noted to have lip smacking and chewing. R35's minimum data set (MDS) assessment with assessment reference dated on 6/06/23 revealed she had a brief interview for mental status (BIMS), a brief performance-based cognitive screener, score of 05 (00-07 severe cognitive impairment); R35 did not have any physical, verbal, or other behaviors during the 7-day look-back period. Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), a clinical outcome checklist completed by a healthcare provider to assess the presence and severity of abnormal movements of the face, limbs, and body in patients with tardive dyskinesia) dated 5/01/23 revealed R35 had no lip and perioral area (e.g., puckering, pouting, smacking) movements or any other involuntary movements during the assessment. Physician's progress note dated 5/24/23 indicated her mental condition was declining. Zyprexa (antipsychotic) 2.5 milligrams (mg) and Lexapro (antidepressant) 5 mg were ordered daily. The plan included to monitor R35's condition closely. The same note indicated R35 had some mid lip smacking and shuffling gait upon examination. The same noted indicated symptoms could be early signs of Parkinson's disease with some extrapyramidal symptoms. Social Worker (SW) F was interviewed on 6/28/23 at 11:03 AM and stated R35's diagnoses included psychotic disorder with delusions. SW F stated R35 had been taking Zyprexa since 4/29/22. SW F stated on 5/24/23 she had noted R35's lip smacking with the physician. SW F stated she did not complete another AIMS assessment after symptoms were noted. SW F stated there was no plan for a neurology consult and stated the nurses assess R35 for symptoms every day and document on the Medication Administration Record (MAR). In review of R35's May and June 2023 MAR's, there was no documentation of antipsychotic side effects including parkinsonism and abnormal involuntary movements documented on day or evening shifts. Nurse Assistant (NA) K was interviewed on 6/28/23 at approximately 11:30 AM and he did not observe R35 lip smacking and that if her lips were dry, she had lip balm. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) L was interviewed on 06/28/23 at 12:03 PM she had noticed R35's lip smacking, but not on the day of this interview. LPN L stated R35 had dentures and thought she was moving her dentures around in her mouth. LPN L stated R35 had lip balm. Note to Attending Physician/Prescriber from pharmacist dated 11/22/22 revealed R35 had been taking Zyprexa 2.5 mg since 4/29/22 and was due for a gradual dose reduction (GDR). The physician response dated 11/30/22 indicated disagreement; and noted R35 continued to exhibit periodic episodes of paranoia and delusions. Note to Attending Physician/Prescriber from pharmacist dated 4/25/23 revealed R35 had been taking Zyprexa 2.5 mg once daily since 4/29/22. Per regulations, two reduction attempts/evaluations were due within the first year of initiation. A GDR was denied on 11/30/22. The same recommendation form indicated R35 was due for a dose reduction to comply with regulations. The physician response indicated disagreement with the pharmacist recommendation and noted R35 previously failed GDR attempt, resident was currently stable and dose reduction was not in her best interest. Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) A on 6/29/23 at 12:50 PM indicated the AIMS test was completed upon the instructions on the assessment and did not have a policy or specific training for staff. The social worker was the only staff that completed the AIMS assessment, and the care plan indicated the AIMS assessment was completed every 3 months.

1 findingBASED ON OBSERVATION, INTERVIEW AND RECORD REVIEW, THE FACILITY FAILED TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF A FALL AND IMPLEMENT RESIDENT-DIRECTED INTERVENTIONS FOR 1 OF 5 RESIDENTS (#12) REVIEWED FOR FALLS, FAILED TO STORE 1 OF 1 TREATMENT CARTS BETWEEN 500 AND 600 HALL THAT CONTAINED TOXIC CHEMICALS IN A SECURED MANNER AND FAILED TO MAINTAIN AN OXYGEN TANK FROM BEING DEPLETED FOR 1 OF 3 RESIDENTS (#1) REVIEWED FOR OXYGEN THERAPY FROM A TOTAL SAMPLE OF 23 RESIDENTS, RESULTING IN A RIGHT HIP FRACTURE FOR RESIDENT #12, POTENTIAL FOR INGESTION OF HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS BY COGNITIVELY IMPAIRED RESIDENTS AND POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPING LIFE THREATENING RESPIRATORY DISTRESS FOR RESIDENT #1. FINDINGS INCLUDE: ACCORDING TO THE FACE SHEET RESIDENT #12 WAS A [AGE] year OLD FEMALE admitted to the facility on [DATE]. THE [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. THE MINIMUM DATA SET ((MDS) dated [DATE] REFLECTED THE RESIDENT'S BRIEF INTERVIEW FOR MENTAL STATUS (BIMS) SCORED 15 OUT OF 15 POSSIBLE POINTS. HOWEVER, THE CARE PLAN RELATED TO MOOD AND PSYCHOSOCIAL WELLBEING DATED 9/16/11 AND UPDATED 12/7/11 REFLECTED THE RESIDENT COULD BECAME ANXIOUS AND WORRISOME, AND REFLECTED THE RESIDENT RECEIVED AN ANTI-DEPRESSANT.

ON 1/4/12 AT 10:00 A.M., THE RESIDENT WAS GREETED WHILE SHE WAS OBSERVED SITTING IN HER WHEELCHAIR NEXT TO HER BED IN HER ROOM. THE RESIDENT IMMEDIATELY STATED SHE COULD NOT HEAR WELL, BECAME ANXIOUS, SAID SHE WAS GETTING READY TO GO TO A THERAPY SESSION AND DID NOT WISH TO TALK. THE FALL CARE PLAN INITIATED 6/28/11 (admitted ) REFLECTED RESIDENT #12 WAS AT RISK OF INJURY/FALLS RELATED TO AN IMPAIRED MOBILITY, WEAKNESS, HISTORY OF FALLS, [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. THE CARE PLAN ALSO INCLUDED OTHER RISK FACTORS SUCH AS THE USE OF MEDICATIONS SUCH AS CARDIAC, DIURETIC, ANTIDEPRESSANT, ANTICOAGULANT, STEROID AND NARCOTIC. THE FALL assessment dated [DATE] HAD A TOTAL SCORE OF 11 POINTS. THE NOTE AT THE BOTTOM OF ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTED UTILIZATION OF FALL ALARM IF THE SCORE WAS 5 OR MORE. HOWEVER, THE RESIDENT WAS PROVIDED A FALL ALARM AT NIGHT ONLY. ON 1/5/12 AT 2:20 P.M., THE UNIT NURSE, (STAFF "C") STATED SHE WAS VERY FAMILIAR WITH RESIDENT #12. STAFF "C" STATED," THE RESIDENT AMBULATED EITHER WITH A WALKER OR WHEELCHAIR BY HERSELF, BUT THE STAFF WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE RESIDENT WAS SAFE AT GETTING HERSELF OUT OF BED AT NIGHT BECAUSE PEOPLE GET DISORIENTED OR UNSTEADY WHEN THEY FIRST WOKE UP, THUS THE RESIDENT WAS PLACED AN ALARM BEFORE SHE WENT TO SLEEP." PERSONAL ALARMS CAN HELP TO MONITOR A RESIDENT'S ACTIVITIES, BUT DO NOT ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR ADEQUATE SUPERVISION. THE NURSING NOTE DATED 8/6/11 REFLECTED RESIDENT #12 AS HAVING INFECTION ON HER LEFT LOWER LEG AND WAS BEING TREATED WITH INTRAVENOUS ANTIBIOTIC. AT 4: P.M. ON THE SAME DAY THE NURSING NOTE STATED THE RESIDENT WAS OBSERVED SITTING ON THE FLOOR IN HER ROOM.

THE CAUSE OF FALL ON THE 8/6/11 REPORT WAS LISTED AS "SELF TRANSFERRING. " THE INTERVENTIONS INCLUDED ASKING RESIDENT TO TURN ON HER LIGHT FOR ASSISTANCE AND THE FALL ALARM HAD BEEN ADDED AT ALL TIMES. HOWEVER, THE NURSING NOTE DATED 8/8/11 REFLECTED THE FALL ALARM RETURNED TO BEING ON AT BED TIME ONLY DUE TO THE RESIDENT'S AGITATION. THE NURSING NOTE DATED 10/16/11 REFLECTED RESIDENT #12 REFUSED TO HAVE HER FALL ALARM, SHE WAS UPSET, YELLING AND STATING, " I DON'T KNOW WHY I NEED THIS."

THE NEXT NURSING NOTE ENTRY DATED 10/17/11 AT 3:25 P.M., (LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER) REFLECTED, "DUE TO NO ATTEMPTS TO SELF TRANSFER AT NIGHT, FALL ALARM DISCONTINUED AT THIS TIME." ON 1/4/12 AT 12 NOON, BOTH UNIT NURSES, (STAFF "B" AND "E") STATED," WE ALL THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS SAFE WITHOUT ALARMS BECAUSE SHE WAS INDEPENDENT IN HER ROOM." WHEN STAFF "B" AND "E" WERE ASKED WHAT ASSURANCE OR MONITORING TOOL THEY COULD PRESENT AS A PROOF THAT THE RESIDENT WAS INDEED SAFE PRIOR TO DISCONTINUING ALARM, THEY STATED THOSE REPORTS WERE ALL DISCARDED. THE NURSING NOTE DATED 10/27/11 AT 5:55 A.M., 10 DAYS AFTER THE REMOVAL OF FALL ALARM, REFLECTED, "RESIDENT OBSERVED ON FLOOR WITH HEAD AGAINST THE RECLINER. RESIDENT YELLING 'HELP ME.' COMPLAINED OF PAIN IN RIGHT. RIGHT FOOT ROTATED OUTWARD." THE RESIDENT WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE HOSPITAL AND THE DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING REPORT DATED 10/27/11 REFLECTED THE RESIDENT AS HAVING THE RIGHT HIP FRACTURE. THE HOSPITAL CONSULTATION REPORT DATED 10/28/11 CONFIRMED THAT THE RESIDENT HAD INTERTROCHANTERIC/SUBTROCHANTERIC FRACTURE WITH DISPLACEMENT AND ANGULATION. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THE RESIDENT TO HAVE HIP SURGERY. THE REVIEW OF THE INCIDENT REPORT DATED 10/27/11 REFLECTED RESIDENT #12 HAD STATED, "I WAS GETTING MY STUFF OUT FOR MY BATH AND I SLIPPED." THE CAUSE OF THE FALL WAS LISTED AS "NOT USING CALL LIGHT." THE INTERVENTIONS INCLUDED PLACING A FALL ALARM AGAIN. HOWEVER, FURTHER ANALYSIS OF 2 INCIDENTS (8/6/11 AND 10/27/11) REVEALED THAT BOTH RESIDENT'S STATEMENTS HAD SIMILARITIES. ON BOTH INCIDENTS THE RESIDENT WAS ATTEMPTING TO GRAB OR GATHER SOME OBJECTS AND FAILED. THE ROOT CAUSE MIGHT HAVE BEEN HER PHYSICAL CONDITION SUCH AS POOR GRIP STRENGTH OR BALANCE PROBLEM RATHER THAN "SELF TRANSFER" OR "NOT USING CALL LIGHT" AS STATED IN THE INCIDENT REPORTS.

THE REHABILITATIVE SCREENING REPORT DATED 8/26/11 REFLECTED RESIDENT #12 ATTENDED RESTORATIVE NURSING UNIT INCONSISTENTLY, AND HAD MANY EXCUSES TO REFUSE. RESIDENT #12 WAS ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE WITH RESTORATIVE NURSING UNIT AND ENCOURAGED TO AMBULATE WITH "STAFF" IN HALLWAYS. THE REPORT CONTINUED TO STATE, " NURSING NOTIFIED VERBALLY AND IN WRITING TO ASSIST RESIDENT WITH AMBULATION IN HALLWAYS. HOWEVER, THE CARE PLAN DATED 6/28/11 AND UPDATED 10/27/11 DID NOT HAVE THIS INFORMATION AS A FALL RISK INTERVENTION. ON 1/6/12 AT 1:00 P.M., STAFF "A" WAS ASKED WHETHER THE FACILITY HAD ANY EVIDENCE TO SHOW THAT THE RESIDENT HAD MORE FREQUENT AND DIRECT SUPERVISION TO ENSURE THE RESIDENT WAS SAFE WITHOUT AN ALARM OR NOT. STAFF "A" WAS ALSO ASKED WHETHER THE FACILITY HAD CONDUCTED ANOTHER FALL ASSESSMENT PRIOR TO DISCONTINUING THE ALARM TO ENSURE THE INTERVENTION WAS NOT NECESSARY OR NOT.

HE AGAIN STATED HE AND THE DAY SHIFT MAINTENANCE STAFF JUST KNEW BY MEMORY WHERE THE PORTABLE OXYGEN TANKS WERE LOCATED IN THE FACILITY AND THERE WAS NO LIST WHICH INDICATED IF A RESIDENT REQUIRED MORE OXYGEN TO BE DELIVERED. HE STATED THIS IS WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO DEPEND ON THE NURSING STAFF TO MONITOR. HE STATED WE DEPEND ON MEMORY AND NO LITERATURE IS AVAILABLE FOR ACTUAL LITERS UTILIZED WITH TIME FRAMES.
