1 findingBased on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff immediately responded when a resident (Resident B) fell and a full body assessment completed at the time of the fall for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for neglect. Findings include: The clinical record for Resident B was reviewed on 2/1/24 at 1:29 p.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, metabolic encephalopathy, osteoarthritis and vascular dementia. The baseline care plan, dated 12/9/23, indicated the resident was a fall risk and the resident was to have a PSA (personal safety alarm) to her bed and chair at all times. During an interview on 2/1/24 at 12:20 p.m., CNA (Certified Nursing Aide) 8 indicated on 12/19/23, she was coming up the 200 hallway and heard a loud thump. RN 4 told her Resident B had just put herself on the floor. She went around the nurse's station and saw the resident on the floor. She told RN 4 it looked like the resident had fallen. Resident B was hollering out and she tried to keep her calm. She asked RN 4 to help her with the resident because she could not move her until RN 4 assessed the resident. RN 4 just sat there. She heard RN 4 call the DON (Director of Nursing) to let her know Resident B had put herself on the floor. RN 4 finally got up to help assist Resident B back up into her wheelchair. RN 4 told Resident B, look what that got you. RN 4 did not even assess Resident B for any injury. Resident B asked RN 4 to call her daughters to let them know she had fallen. RN 4 responded no, you ran them all off as well.CNA 8 looked Resident B over and did not see anything, however she was not allowed to assess the resident since she was a CNA. RN 4 then went outside for a break and she reported the incident to the DON. The progress note from RN 4, dated 12/19/23 at 2:22 p.m., indicated the resident had sat herself down on the floor at the nurse's station. The resident had reported over and over throughout the day that she would put herself on the floor. Her alarm sounded at the nurse's desk and she had put herself on the floor at the foot of her wheelchair. The resident was assessed and no injury found. The progress note, dated 12/19/23 at 5:08 p.m., indicated that upon video review of Resident B's fall at approximately 2:30 p.m., it was observed that the resident was sitting in her wheelchair at the nurse's station. The resident continued to scoot closer and closer to the edge of her wheelchair. The resident fell forward onto the floor and hit the wheel of another resident's wheelchair in front of her. Upon assessment by LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 3, there were no injuries or physical concerns observed. Nursing would continue to observe and monitor neurological status. On 2/1/24 at 1:46 p.m., the video of the incident, dated 12/19/23 at 2:18 p.m., was observed with the Executive Director present. The following was observed in the video: On 12/19/23 at 2:18 p.m., Resident B was observed sitting at the nurse's station. RN 4 was observed sitting at the desk behind the nurse's station. Resident B scooted forward towards the edge of her chair. At 2:19 p.m., RN 4 turned her head towards the direction of Resident B. Resident B then fell forward out of the wheelchair and onto the floor, striking her head on the wheel of another residents' wheelchair. RN 4 remained sitting behind the nurse's station and did not look up. At 2:20 p.m., CNA 8 came around the nurse's station and saw Resident B on the floor at which time RN 4 picked up the facility phone to make a call. CNA 8 went behind Resident B's wheelchair and turned off Resident B's alarm. CNA 8 then moved another resident from out of in front of Resident B and bended over the resident. During this time, RN 4 hung up the facility phone and then pulled out her cell phone to make another call. CNA 8 walked down the hall towards the front doors. At 2:20 p.m., CNA 8 walked back down toward Resident B, at which time RN 4 had gotten up from her seat and walked out from behind the nurse station. RN 4 stared at Resident B while she was on the floor. At 2:21 p.m., RN 4 and CNA 8 assisted Resident B up from the floor and placed her back into the wheelchair. RN 4 did not assess Resident B for injury prior to moving her. RN 4 then went back behind the nurse's station, sat down, and picked up the facility phone where she remained until 2:24 p.m. At 2:24 p.m., RN 4 got up and exited out from behind the nurse's station, walked down the hall and exited out the side door. During an interview on 2/1/24 at 1:50 p.m., the Executive Director indicated the nurse in the video was an RN, Resident B's alarm was sounding and RN 4 did not move. RN 4 was no longer employed by the next day. On 2/1/24 at 12:29 p.m., the Director of Nursing provided a current copy of the document titled Abuse/Neglect/Mistreatment/Exploitation/Misappropriation of Personal Property dated 1/12/18.

1 findingBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident admitted with a history of diabetes received blood sugar level cheeks and insulin timely for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for quality of care. (Resident B) Findings include: An Incident Report, dated 8/24/23 at 8:20 p.m., indicated Resident B arrived at the facility on the evening of 8/23/23 around 6:30 p.m. The resident's insulin orders were not put into the system. An Admission MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 8/24/23, indicated the resident was severely cognitively impaired. The diagnoses included, but were not limited, to diabetes mellitus Type 1 with ketoacidosis and coma, dementia, and cognitive communication deficit. A Hospital Discharge Summary, dated 8/23/23, indicated the resident's discharge medications included, but were not limited to, the following: - Toujeo (a long acting insulin medication), staff were to administer 15 units daily. - Humalog (a fast acting insulin medication), staff were to administer 5 units, three times a day with meals. The August EMAR (Electronic Medication Administration Record) lacked documentation the resident received her insulin (Toujeo 15 units) or accu check (blood sugar level) on 8/23/23 and the resident had not received the fast acting Humalog insulin with breakfast or lunch the following day on 8/24/23. A Progress Note, dated 8/24/23 at 4:10 p.m., indicated the physician saw the resident for the initial admission assessment. All previous records from the hospital were reviewed. New orders were received to discontinue the routine Lispro (insulin medication) and start accu checks with a sliding scale Lispro. A Progress Note, dated 8/24/23 at 4:24 p.m., indicated the resident vomited twice during the shift, approximately 3 hours after a meal. A Progress Note, dated 8/24/23 at 5:17 p.m., indicated staff administered 12 units of Humalog and the nurse was waiting for a call from the physician. A Progress Note, dated 8/24/23 at 6:25 p.m., indicated the resident's family member was notified of the resident vomiting twice and a high accu check reading of 600 mg/dl (normal adult range of blood sugar levels was 80 mg/dl to 120 mg/dl). A Progress Noted, dated 8/24/23 at 7:18 p.m., indicated the resident's accu check reading was high at 600 mg/dl. Staff administered 32 units of Humalog STAT (immediately) per the physician's order. A Progress Note, dated 8/24/23 at 8:00 p.m., indicated the nurse attempted to give the resident her night time medication and the resident was unresponsive. Her blood sugar reading was 600 mg/dl. The physician was contacted and a new order was received to send the resident to the hospital. During an interview on 9/11/23 at 7:42 p.m., RN 2 indicated when there was a new admission to the facility she would get an admission packet, with a hospital discharge summary. She would verify the resident's vitals, complete a head-to-toe assessment, and if they were diabetic, she would obtain blood sugar on them. There was a night shift agency nurse, and she was the one that completed the resident's admission. The night shift nurse should have noted that the resident was diabetic, and reviewed and entered the orders into the system. When she returned the next morning, she only had time to read the resident's history and physical before the administration staff took the chart to finish up the admission. There were no accu checks or insulin orders in the system for the resident. The resident was a diabetic and had not received insulin the night before. There were no accu checks or insulin orders in the system on 8/24/23 until 4:00 p.m. At that time, the RN did get an accu check on Resident B and it was high. The RN gave the ordered dose of insulin and called the physician. The physician gave the order of 20 units STAT and to recheck the blood sugar in 2 to 3 hours. The resident was not cognitively aware but could not answer questions appropriately. During an interview on 9/11/23 at 8:04 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated, on 8/23/23, the night shift nurse was an agency nurse. The DON had talked to her prior to leaving the building and instructed her, that if she had any issues, she was to call the DON. That nurse did not call her. The agency nurse did input some medication orders but did not input the insulin or accu check orders. She indicated she did not know how. The system was asking for parameters but there were no parameters given. There were no parameters because the insulin was scheduled. The next morning upon her arrival she retrieved the resident's chart to review the orders with the physician. She did not get all the clarifications and orders inputted until around 1:30 p.m. on 8/24/23. She thought the resident had only been nauseated before dinner and she was aware the resident had received Zofran. The day shift RN told her that the night shift nurse did not put in insulin orders because she did not know the parameters. She had reviewed the hospital EMAR and Resident B had received the Toujeo the night before on 8/22/23. It would be a nursing measure to obtain an accu check on a known diabetic and did not necessarily need a physician order. She had asked the agency nurse if she had taken Resident B's blood sugar and the agency nurse stated she did and it was 101, but she did not know where to document it in the record. The nurse could have documented under progress notes, vitals, or on the admission assessment. The EMAR, dated 8/24/23 at 7:00 p.m., indicated the nurse had administered the resident's Humalog 20-units STAT. The EMAR, dated 8/24/23 at 7:18 p.m., indicated the nurse had administered the resident's Humalog 32-units STAT. During an interview on 9/12/23 at 9:00 a.m., the DON indicated the RN did not go into the system and document the actual times given. The progress notes indicated the 7:00 p.m. dose was given at 5:00 p.m. The DON had started education for staff evolved and had not educated the agency staff that generally work at the facility. The current plan was for her to review all new admission orders the next working day. The current facility policy, titled Abuse/Neglect/Mistreatment/Exploitation/Misappropriation of Personal Property, with a reviewed date of 1/18/2023, was provided by the DON on 9/11/23 at 7:16 p.m. The policy indicated, .2.

(Resident 33) Findings include: The clinical record for Resident 33 was reviewed on 11/3/22 at 11:15 a.m., the diagnoses [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 9/19/22, indicated the resident was severely cognitively impaired. She required extensive assistance of two staff members for ADL's (Activities of Daily Living). She was at risk for developing pressure wounds. The physician's orders [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The resident's care plan, dated 3/14/18 and revised on 11/1/22, indicated the resident was at risk for skin breakdown. The interventions included, but were not limited to, assist with repositioning (dated 3/14/18), and pressure redistribution mattress in place to the bed (dated 11/1/22). The resident's care plan, dated 8/18/19 and revised on 10/12/22, indicated the resident had the potential for skin integrity breakdown due to a history of chronically picking at her arms and had dry fragile skin. The resident had a Stage 3 pressure wound versus trauma area to her left buttock. The interventions included, but were not limited to, alternating air mattress (dated 11/1/22), complete treatments as ordered (dated 8/18/19), encourage good nutrition (dated 8/18/19) and hydration to promote healthier skin, encourage her to avoid scratching (dated 8/18/19), assist with keeping hands clean and fingernails short (dated 8/18/19), keep her skin clean and dry and use lotion on dry skin. Place pool noodle pieces to her wheelchair to keep her from her hitting legs (dated 9/8/22). The clinical record lacked documentation of any revision to the care plan with the interventions for a Stage 3 pressure wound. The Weekly Skin and [CONDITION(S)] assessment, dated 10/10/22, indicated the resident had an abrasion to her left calf. The nurse's note, dated 10/12/22 at 4:21 p.m., indicated while completing incontinent care an area was observed to be open on the resident's left buttock that was pressure versus trauma area and measuring 2 cm (centimeters) x 2 cm x 1 cm. She had no pain, no drainage, no signs, or symptoms of infection. The surrounding area was normal skin tone. The new orders were received and noted to cleanse the wound with wound cleanser, pat dry and apply a [MEDICATION(S)] dressing daily and prn (as needed) for soilage or dislodgement. The Wound Assessment Form, dated 10/12/22 at 4:00 p.m., indicated the left buttock pressure wound measured 2 cm by 2 cm by 1 cm and at a Stage 3. No exudate, and the surrounding skin was intact.

A scant amount of serous drainage, the wound bed was pink, and the surrounding tissue was intact. During an interview on 11/3/22 at 11:00 a.m., the Wound Nurse indicated when an issue like a pressure wound was identified she would be notified by the staff and interventions would be added at that time. The care plan would be updated or the issue would be added at that time with interventions. If the current interventions were not working, she would reassess the wound and add new interventions. The Wound Management Program policy, dated 8/1/2018, was provided by the DON (Director of Nursing) on 11/1/22 at 10:00 a.m. The policy included, but was not limited to, . F. Documentation and Care Planning 1. The wound management program documentation requirements include: a. Identification of the location and frequency of wound documentation. b. Identification of forms used and format for reporting. c. Required comprehensive description of pressure ulcer weekly, at a minimum. d. Delineation of 'in-house' documentation required (for example, weekly reports to the Director of Nurses) and by whom. e. Goals of the wound care plan collaboratively determined with the resident, family, and interdisciplinary team. f. Assigned responsibility/accountability for the initial care plan and for subsequent updating. g. Determined facility time frames for care plan updating . 3.1-35(d)(2)(B)
Based on record review, observation, and interview, the facility failed to ensure thorough skin assessments were conducted to identify pressure wounds prior to the development of a Stage 3 and unstagable pressure ulcer and failed to ensure proper procedures were followed for an assistive device which resulted in a suspected deep tissue injury for 3 of 3 residents reviewed for pressure wounds. (Residents 33, 6, and 4) Findings include: 1. The clinical record for Resident 33 was reviewed on 10/31/22 at 10:50 a.m. The resident's diagnoses [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 9/19/22, indicated the resident was severely cognitively impaired.

The physician's orders [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The resident's care plan, dated 3/14/18 and revised 8/18/19, indicated the resident was at risk for skin breakdown. The interventions included, but were not limited to, assist with repositioning and pressure redistribution mattress in place to the bed. The resident's care plan, dated 8/18/19 and revised on 10/12/22, indicated the resident had the potential for skin integrity breakdown due to a history of chronically picking at her arms and had dry fragile skin. The resident had a stage III pressure wound versus trauma area to her left buttock. Interventions included, but were not limited to, alternating air mattress, complete treatments as order, encourage good nutrition and hydration to promote healthier skin, encourage her to avoid scratching, assist with keeping hands clean and fingernails short, keep her skin clean and dry and use lotion on dry skin, and place pool noodle pieces to her wheelchair to keep her from her hitting legs. The Weekly Skin and [CONDITION(S)] assessment, dated 10/10/22, indicated the resident had an abrasion to her left calf. The Wound Assessment Form, dated 10/12/22 at 4:00 p.m., indicated the left buttock pressure wound measured 2 cm by 2 cm by 1 cm and at a stage III. No exudate, and the surrounding skin was intact. The nurse's note, dated 10/12/22 at 4:21 p.m., indicated while completing incontinent care an area was observed to be open on the resident's left buttock that was a pressure versus trauma area and measuring 2 cm (centimeters) by 2 cm by 1 cm. She had no pain, no drainage, no signs, and symptoms of infection. The surrounding area was normal skin tone. New orders were received and noted to cleanse the wound with wound cleanser, pat dry and apply a [MEDICATION(S)] dressing daily and prn for soilage or dislodgement.

A scant amount of serous drainage, the wound bed was pink, and the surrounding tissue was intact During an interview on 11/3/22 at 8:35 a.m., LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 1 indicated nurses did weekly skin checks usually when the resident received a shower. A pressure wound should have been identified before it was a stage III. The skin should be monitored for redness, [CONDITION(S)], pain, no blanchable skin, and breaks in the skin. The residents should be turned and repositioned every 2 hours, low air mattress and float the heels. During an interview on 11/3/22 at 10:00 a.m., the Wound Nurse indicated the resident's wound was facility acquired. Interventions for prevention include a alternating air mattress, pressure reduction cushion to the resident's wheelchair, float the heels with a pillow, turn and reposition every 2 hours and as needed, and dietary consult for nutrition. If a resident developed a pressure area the staff would inform her. The skin assessments were done weekly. A pressure wound should be found before it reached a stage III. There would be signs and symptoms before the wound reached a stage III. She would stage the wound, but staff could and if the wound was staged wrong she wound assess the wound and change the staging. A wound care consultant would come in monthly to assess the wounds. She could them anytime a wound developed or worsened. She would monitor the wounds weekly.

The wound bed was pale yellow and skin at the edges was white with scant or no amount of yellow drainage on the dressing. The resident continued to require frequent reminders to elevate her heels off the mattress. The Pressure Ulcer Assessment, dated 9/15/22, indicated the right heel had the same measurements as last week's assessment, but the wound bed now had 70 % red tissue and 30 % yellow slough. The resident remained non cooperative with floating her heel off the bed. The nursing note, dated 9/22/22 at 5:15 p.m., indicated a new order was received today to change the treatment to the right heel wound. The wound consultant was here today for a monthly visit and recommended to discontinue the Santyl. The wound bed was pink and improving. The Wound Care note, dated 9/22/22, indicated a new order to continue to use Composite to cover the wound and provide bacterial barrier. Daily dressing changes were required due to difficult location due to friction and sheer from the sheets, and clothes that dislodged the dressing within 24 hours. The Pressure Ulcer Assessments, dated 9/22/22 and 9/29/22, indicated the right heel measured 1.0 cm by 1.0 cm by 0.2 cm and was now a Stage 3. The resident continued to be non cooperative with floating her heel. The nursing note, dated 10/1/22 at 2:18 a.m., indicated the area to right heel was closed at this time. The nursing note, dated 10/2/22 at 12:13 a.m., indicated the treatment continued to the right heel. The area was scabbed and surrounding skin area was red with no drainage. The Pressure Ulcer Assessment, dated 10/5/22, indicated the right heel measured 1.0 cm by 1.0 cm by 0.2 cm and was now a Stage 3. The resident continued to be non cooperative with floating her heel. The Pressure Ulcer Assessments, dated 10/12/22 and 10/19/22, both indicated the right heel measured 0.8 cm by 0.8 cm by 0.2 cm and was a Stage 3. The Pressure Ulcer Assessment, dated 10/25/22, indicated the right heel measured 0.7 cm by 0.8 cm by 0 cm and was unstageable due to a scab being present. The new physician's orders [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . If scab comes off and the area re-opens, staff would need to change treatment to the area. A care plan, dated 4/26/21 with a revision date of 8/5/22, indicated the resident had the potential for impaired skin integrity due to a Stage 3 left heel which developed on 8/5/22. The interventions included, but were not limited to, alternating air mattress to bed (dated 8/9/22); document the skin status at least weekly (dated 4/26/21); encourage good nutrition and hydration in order to promote healthier skin (dated 4/26/21); encourage meds/supplements as ordered (dated 8/8/22); encourage to keep the skin clean and dry (dated 8/9/22); encourage to turn side to side and/or float heels (dated 8/9/22); observe skin impairment for delayed healing or signs or symptoms of infection and notify MD/NP (Medical Doctor/Nurse practitioner) as needed (dated 4/26/21); and treatment as ordered (dated 4/26/21). The clinical record indicated the pressure wound was on the right heel, not the left. During a wound observation and interview on 11/3/22 at 11:20 a.m., the Wound Nurse indicated the right heel wound was thought to have started out as a blister and then it broke and was now scabbed over. Staff continued to treat the scab as it was unknown as to what was underneath the scab. She was very surprised when it was discovered as the resident was mobile and although she spent majority of time in bed, she did get up to the bathroom and moved about in her room. The wound consultant informed staff the blister should be coded as a Stage 3. The resident did not always keep her feet elevated like she should. The resident indicated that she forgot sometimes to elevate her feet. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 11/3/22 at 2:45 p.m., she indicated nursing debated between the resident's wound being slough or a Stage 3 and it was decided to go with the higher staging of a Stage 3 due to the scab. 3. The clinical record for Resident 4 was reviewed on 11/1/22 at 10:03 a.m. The diagnoses [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 10/13/22, indicated the resident was severely cognitively impaired. The resident required limited assistance of one staff for transfers and bed mobility. She required extensive assistance of one staff for walking in her room and corridor, locomotion on and off unit, dressing, and toileting. She required supervision for eating and personal hygiene. The care plan, dated 5/4/22 and last revised on 8/3/22, indicated the resident was at risk for falls related to a history of falls, poor safety awareness and decision making related to dementia. She would turn off or take off alarms and try to get up unassisted as times. The interventions included, but were not limited to ask therapy for a recommendation on an appropriate helmet (dated 9/23 and 9/24). A helmet was received (starting 9/27/22), and would implement use upon return (starting 10/11/22). The care plan, dated 5/8/22 and last revised on 10/31/22, indicated the resident was at risk for skin breakdown and [CONDITION(S)] (urinary tract infections) due to impaired cognition, incontinence of bowel and bladder and requiring assistance and reminders to turn and reposition. On 10/29/22, the care plan was updated for the Risk for skin breakdown related to the safety helmet and the suspected deep tissue injury of the right outer ear. The interventions included, but were not limited to observe the ears, chin, and jawline every shift for signs of breakdown (starting 10/31/22), observe the skin daily with care and notify the nurse, contact the MD/NP as needed for areas of concern, and document on the skin at least weekly (starting 5/8/22). The clinical record lacked documentation of the monitoring for skin impairment related to the soft helmet prior to the discovery of the deep tissue injury. The clinical record lacked documentation of therapy notes related to an evaluation for the soft helmet size. The physician's orders [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The Initial Pressure Wound Assessment, dated 10/29/22, indicated a suspected deep tissue injury to the right outer ear, which measured 0.3 cm long by 0.2 cm wide. The treatment initiated was for the application of skin prep. The nursing staff were to monitor the skin integrity to the ears, jawline, and neck every shift related to the wearing of the soft helmet. A potential supply of another style of helmet was to be looked into, if available. The physician's orders [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . Notify the physician of any changes in the skin condition every day and night shift for skin integrity. During an interview on 11/7/22 at 9:27 a.m., the Rehabilitation Manager indicated the facility asked her to measure for the soft helmet. She had to guess on the size, because the resident was in the hospital at that time. She just found a resident with a similar sized head and used that as a guide for the helmet fit. She was not told of the rubbing of the soft helmet on the resident's ear. The facility had not asked her to find a different helmet. To properly fit a helmet, she would follow the guide book for ordering a helmet. She would measure the circumference of the head usually. During an interview on 11/7/22 at 9:52 a.m., the Wound Nurse indicated nursing staff would do the daily skin assessments. She was told by a nurse of the discovery of the suspected deep tissue injury to the ear. Therapy was consulted for the soft helmet to prevent further head injuries. The resident was very demented and was unable to follow directions, and they had exhausted all interventions. She had assumed that therapy had fitted the helmet. She didn't feel the helmet was tight on the resident. The helmet had a strap under the chin. The order was for the resident to wear the helmet all of the time. The nurse or CNA (certified nurse aide) could put the helmet on the resident. She was unsure if another helmet would be ordered.
