When asked what happened, R2 stated she had her back turned and was attacked from behind. R2 stated the resident hit her several times in the face and head and hurt her. When asked what she was doing, R2 stated she was just sitting there waiting to go smoke. When asked what happened after the incident, R2 stated the staff took her to her room and the nurse checked her out. On 6/2/26 at 12:00 PM, V1, Administrator, stated what she heard was that R1 and R2 were heading out to smoke and for some reason, R1 reached out and scratched R2 below her left eye. V1 stated R1 was sent to the hospital for her behaviors. V1 stated V11, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), witnessed the event and notified V5, MDS Nurse, who looked on the camera to see what happened, then he notified her. On 6/2/26 at 12:30 PM, V5, MDS Nurse, stated that V11, CNA, was with R1 and stated that R1 hit R2. V5 stated he reviewed the camera and R2 was by the vending machine and had her back to R1, they were yelling at each other, then R1 hit R2 across the face. V5 stated it really wasn't witnessed because R2 was off the camera, but you could see R1 charging towards R2, then R2 went up the hall yelling for a CNA to help her. V5 stated he questioned R1, and she denied hitting or even touching R2. V5 stated he called the NP and V1 to advise them what happened and the NP told them to send R1 to the hospital for her behaviors. On 6/2/26 at 12:45 PM, V2, Director of Nursing (DON) showed the video recording of the event that occurred on 5/30/26. This video showed R1 sitting in her wheelchair by the door that leads out to the smoking deck. R1 appears to be flailing her arms while yelling. Other residents began going down the hall to line up to smoke, along with multiple staff members, who eventually redirected the residents to head to the front door to smoke outside because they didn't have the door key to let them out. The video showed all residents and staff leaving that area except for R1 who remained sitting at the end of the hall. The video then showed R1 rolling herself across the hall and toward where R2 was sitting, then rolled herself back to her position at the end of the hall. The video then showed R2 rolling down the hall toward the nurse's desk and was met half way by V11. There were no staff seen at the end of the hall at the time when (R1) rolled herself to where (R2) was located, then rolled herself back to her original space. On 6/2/26 at 1:15 PM, V11 stated I was the only one working the hall and thought I would help everyone get outside to smoke. (R1) was already sitting at the end of the hall yelling and cursing at everyone and at no one. I didn't see (R2) get down the hall, but she usually sits around the vending machine and waits to smoke. I did hear (R1) and (R2) yelling and cursing at each other at the end of the hall, but I thought they had stopped. All the residents who came down the hall had to go back to the front to go out and smoke, but we couldn't get (R1) to go with us. (R1), (R2), and another resident (R6), were the only ones left down there. R6 always sits on the sofa by the vending machine and probably saw the whole thing. Since I was the only one on that hall, I left the area and was walking back down the hall towards the nurses desk, when I heard (R2) yelling and turned around to see (R2) coming at me and was bleeding on her face. There were no staff left at the end of the hall and if I could rethink it, I would have stayed with them. On 6/4/26 at 9:45 AM, V5 stated When that incident occurred at the end of the hall, (R1) was acting her normal expressive self by yelling out and flailing her arms around. (R1) was elevated in a loud almost different language while talking to herself. I talked to her and asked her to calm down and when I walked away from the end of the hall, I felt that (R1) was calmed down. (R2) was sitting in her wheelchair at the vending machine and I don't recall her yelling or talking because she is also loud and I would definitely know if she was. I was the one who told the staff to take all the residents to the front to smoke because of the incident, that is why they all went out front. I am not aware of (R1) and (R2) having issues with each other. I called EMS (emergency medical services) after talking with the NP (Nurse Practitioner) and they in turn called the police to respond as well. They both showed up and took (R1) to the hospital. On 6/4/26 at 9:53 AM, V13, Police Sergeant, stated I responded with another officer to the facility for a call for an aggressive resident. We always respond with the EMS for their safety. I was only told that the lady (R1) was waiting to smoke, got agitated and aggressive and needed to go to the hospital. She even got agitated with us and was pulling away from the officer almost like she was wanting to fight us. The staff didn't tell me anything about an assault, but they may have said something to the other officer (V14). Typically, the resident is usually very aggressive or physical with someone when they call us for assistance. There was no report done for the incident since it was an EMS assist. On 6/4/26 at V14, Police Officer, stated We got a call to assist EMS at the facility for an agitated female. The facility makes medical decisions for that person, and they needed her to go to the hospital. The staff told me that she was waiting to go smoke, but it was taking too long, and she didn't want to wait, so she got impatient and irritated and became aggressive. They said she was being aggressive with others, but I was not told she assaulted anyone. I was told she scratched someone but thought it was a staff member. We have been there before for aggressive residents, and we respond to keep EMS safe.

V7 stated she is unsure what time R7 left because she was gone by the time she got on duty, there were no alarms going off when she got to work. V7 stated R7 was not exit seeking and she does not recall her walking out the front door. V7 stated just about every resident who leaves the facility must have someone sign them out of the building. V7 stated for days and evenings, there is someone who mans the front desk, but for nights there is no one there but the alarms do go off. R7's Nurses Note, dated 7/26/25 at 6:50 AM, documents At approx. 6:50a this Nurse received a call from (local) county jail requesting the resident med list. This writer verbally provided Nurse with all current medications. Nurse states the resident is being held due to a warrant for [NAME]. (Nurse) states (local town) has 5 days to pick up the resident and cannot be released back to the facility until she sees a judge on Monday. Manager on duty (V20) notified. Called the place to daughter to update her. [SIC]R7's Police Report, dated 7/26/25 at 00:21 AM, documents in part that On 07/26/2025 at approximately 00:21 hours, I, Ofc. (officer) 154, responded to (facility address) (this facility) for a report of a missing person. The caller advised dispatch that as employees were doing rounds, they noticed that a female resident was missing, and the last time she was seen was around 1900-2000 (7:00 PM to 8:00 PM) hours. I filled out a missing person form and later turned it into dispatch. (R7) was entered into LEADS (Law Enforcement Agencies Data System) as a missing person. I have attached a photograph of (R7's) face sheet from the facility, which includes her medical diagnosis and a photograph of her to reference. At approximately 0550 (5:50 AM) hours, (Local County) Deputies located (R7) at the Metrolink (5th/Missouri). (R7) had an active warrant out of (area town) and was taken into custody for the warrant, and she was removed as missing from LEADS.On 7/28/25 at 11:15 AM, V1, Administrator, stated We had a resident (R7) who had orders that she can leave whenever she wants. (R7) left the faciity on her own, was seen by Police walking down the sidewalk and when they checked on her, she had a warrant for her arrest and was taken to the (local town jail) where she had her warrant. Early this morning, the judge released her, and she is walking around (the local town). We have someone driving there now to talk to her and hopefully bring her back to the facility. (R7) is her own responsibility and has the right to leave when she wants.On 7/29/25 at 11:53 AM, V11, Nurse Practitioner (NP), stated (R7) was alert and oriented but did have Schizophrenia, Alcohol Abuse, and Cocaine Abuse. I believe there were a couple of issues going on with her. I was told that on Friday afternoon (7/25/25) (R7) called 911 herself, not because she wanted to go to the hospital, she wanted to leave the facility and go into town. When she found out that the ambulance was not going to take her to town, she refused to go with the ambulance, so they did not transport her. Then on Saturday (7/26/25) I got a text message from the DON (Director of Nurses) that stated (R7) eloped from the facility and the police found her and put her in jail. Then it said further review showed that (R7) left AMA (Against Medical Advice). I believe it was around 10:00 PM that she left, and the facility didn't realize she was gone until the night staff came in around 11:00 PM and made their rounds. On the Monday morning meeting at the facility, I was told that the Social Service Director and the Administrator watched the cameras and seen another family member, who knew the code, open the front doors, walk out the door and leave, with R7 exiting right behind that person. From my standpoint, R7 was alert and oriented but had a psychiatric history. She was able to make her own decisions, and she definitely wanted to leave the facility. When asked if R7 had an order to leave the facility whenever she wanted to, V11 stated There would never be an order for any resident to go outside or leave the facility on their own. There may be a LOA (Leave of Absence) order for a resident to go with a family member, but they must be signed out first. That facility is not that type of facility where a resident would be able to come and go whenever they wanted. So, in my opinion, yes, (R7) eloped from the facility against providers wishes. When asked if R7 was able to take care of herself or was she putting herself in danger by eloping, V11 stated I don't believe (R7) was at a point where she would be able to care for herself. By eloping, I would consider her a great risk to harm herself. The managers all had a group message going around about (R7) leaving the facility, you may want to try and get that group message, it started with (R7) eloped from the facility.On 7/29/25 at 12:37 PM, V11, NP, called back and stated, I talked to my Physician, and he told me he believes that incident was an elopement at the time, but then he was told that after further investigation by the facility, they had the resident sign an AMA form.On 7/29/25 at 2:00 PM, V3, RNC, showed this surveyor the security video of when R7 walked out of the facility. The video shows a family member of another resident, walk out the door at 9:55 PM and within a second or two, R7 was right behind him, and she walked down the sidewalk and away from the facility. On 7/29/25 at 2:19 PM, V12, Human Resource, stated that she got a call on Friday (7/25/25) night from V1, Administrator, stating that she needed to go to the facility and help look for R7 and to look at the camera to see if she left. V12 stated when she looked at the camera, she saw a resident's family member leaving and shortly after, R7 walked out the door. V12 stated apparently the family member had the code to get out the door and they shouldn't have had it.On 7/29/25 at 2:47 PM, V2, DON, stated as far as she knows, only the employees of the facility should have the code to the doors. V2 stated the night R7 left, she was not able to come in to help but all the managers and corporate came in to look for R7. V2 stated she was not aware of R7 exit seeking, however, R7 was put on every 15-minute checks because she was wandering around and they wanted to keep an eye on her. V2 stated the front door is manned up until around 8:00 PM. On 7/29/25 at 3:10 PM, V1, Administrator, stated that they changed the code to the front doors Monday after R7 left. V1 stated only the employees are supposed to have the code to the door and she is unaware of how R11's father got the code. V1 stated they have smart residents living there and most of them will watch people leave and put the code in and will learn the code. On 7/29/25 at 3:30 PM, V13, Receptionist, stated she works the front desk from 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM on Monday through Wednesday, then works 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM on Thursday and Fridays. V13 stated someone else works the desk from 4:00 PM until 8:00 PM on Monday through Wednesday, then 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. V13 stated she never gives out the door code and has no idea how family members are getting the code. V13 stated after 8:00 PM, there is no one that mans the door.On 7/29/25 at 3:35 PM, While speaking with V13, a new sign was seen posted on the front doors. This sign documents Attention Visitors and Staff: For our resident safety, please be aware of our resident's when you enter or leave the building and immediately report any residents observed exiting the building to management or charge nurse at the nursing stations.On 7/30/25 at 3:25 PM, V18, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), stated that R7 was always carrying her purse around, telling people she was going home, and would call her mother frequently telling her she wanted to go home.On 7/29/25 at 9:15 AM, V4, LPN, stated that she worked with R7 and that R7 always had a bag packed and stating she was going home. V4 stated that she never saw R7 go out the doors but would always walk around the facility telling people she was going home. R7's Elopement Evaluation, dated 6/20/25, documents R7 was a Low Risk for Elopement.R7's Enhanced Supervision Monitoring Tool, dated 7/25/25, documents R7 was last seen in the dining room at 9:45 PM. At 10:00 PM, it documents Looking for Resident.Per Google Maps the distance from the facility to the Metrolink 5th/Missouri station is 12 miles. R7's Social Service Update, dated 7/23/25, documents in part that R7 is alert and oriented to person, place, and time, but is not oriented to situation and mental function varies throughout the day.

It continues the Risk Screen for Elopement 0-9 is a Low Risk =/> 10 is At Risk with R7's score of 21 indicating R7 was at risk for Elopement.An untitled, undated, document provided by V3, documents a timeline for the incident involving R7's elopement. This in part, documents Per the Nurses Notes: This writer discovered resident missing from her room at approx. 11:30 PM during routine beginning of shift rounding. This writer immediately searched her bedroom/bathroom, surround hallways as well as a common seating area for residents. No signs of resident.

At 2:30 AM, managers are still out driving around the neighborhood in attempts to locate the resident. Will continue to follow up.On 7/31/25 at 12:48 PM, V1 stated Only the high-risk elopement residents will go into the elopement binder. On 7/31/25 at 2:20 PM, V1 stated You are not seeing the clarification on At Risk for Elopement because you don't have the correct policy, we updated the policy on 7/28/25 to reflect only the High Risk for Elopement residents. Per investigation, R7 eloped prior to the change in policy.The Facility's Elopement Policy, dated 9/2022, documents in part Elopement occurs when a resident leaves the premises or a safe area without authorization (i.e., an order for discharge or leave of absence) and/or any necessary supervision to do so. All residents will be assessed for elopement risk upon admission, with significant change in condition, and quarterly. Any resident identified at risk to elope will be reviewed every 90 days or with significant change in condition. Elopement Risk: Residents who are at risk to elope are closely supervised to keep them safe in their environment, while allowing them to move freely about the safe environment. 1. Any resident identified as an elopement risk will have pictures available, one kept at the reception desk and the others in a facility-designated area. 2. Any resident identified at risk to elope upon admission will have the Elopement Risk identified and included in the Interim Plan of Care. A comprehensive elopement prevention plan of care will be developed at the first care plan meeting. The plan will be reviewed at least every 90 days or more often if necessary. 3. There will be a Master List of all residents at risk to elope. The Social Service Department or designated staff will update the list as additional residents are determined to be at risk to elope and it will be reviewed weekly. The list will be available at the nurses' stations and reception area. 4. Residents at risk to elope will be closely monitored. This policy which was in use at the time of R7's elopement did not identify Low or High risk, just At Risk residents.

F697G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on interview, observation, and record review, the facility failed to provide pain medication to 1 of 3 residents (R3) reviewed for pain control in the sample of 8. This failure resulted in R3 having excruciating pain and having trouble functioning during that time in pain. The Findings Include:R3's admission Record, dated 7/21/25, documents R3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus (DM), Pneumonia, Bacteremia, and a Lung Abscess with Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) infection.R3's Care Plan, dated 7/9/25, documents R3 Is Independent with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). R3 has an alteration in comfort with interventions including administer pain meds and treatments as ordered, assess pain characteristics: duration, location, quality, encourage to report any pain, monitor for nonverbal indicators of pain (moaning, crying, grimacing, wincing), report any acute changes to Physician. R3's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents R3 is cognitively intact, is independent on all ADLs. R3 is always continent of both bowel and bladder. On 7/21/25 at 1:25 PM, R3 stated They cut my pain meds in half to 5 MG twice a day, then added a muscle relaxer, and right now my pain is an 8.On 7/22/25 at 9:00 AM, R3 stated They ran out of my pain medication, and I had to wait around 6 days for my pain medication. The nurses kept telling me that they were waiting on pharmacy to send the medication. They may have given me Tylenol once or twice, but that did not help. I was in excruciating pain and had trouble functioning day to day during that time while I was in pain. My pain right now is between a 6 or an 8. On 7/22/25 at 9:15 AM, V7, Registered Nurse (RN)/Nurse Practitioner (NP), stated If a resident has an order for a pain medication and runs out, we have to print out the actual hard script/order and then either fax it to the physician or NP to sign it, or catch them while they are here. We do carry Oxycodone in the medication machine; however, we cannot just get one out. We have to have pharmacy on the phone, with the signed hard script, then they have to send a code to the nurse in order to get the medication out of the machine. V7 stated that is probably why R3 was waiting so long to get his meds.On 7/22/25 at 10:20 AM, V2, Director of Nursing (DON), stated If a resident has an active order for Oxycodone, such as (R3), all the nurse has to do is call the pharmacy and they will release a dose from the E-Kit (machine) to be dispensed. If it is a refill, then it has to have a hard script with the physician's signature. There are instructions on the entire process at the nurse's desk, but a lot of our nurses are agency, and they don't seem to understand the process.On 7/23/25 at 8:55 AM, V10, NP, stated I was not notified that (R3) was not receiving his Oxycodone for pain. I did meet with (R3) and the DON about (R3's) pain and I was not sure if it was lung pain or muscular pain and the way the Oxycodone was ordered, I wasn't sure if he was getting 5 MG or 10 MG, so I just made it 5 MG every 6 hours and added the muscle relaxer Cyclobenzaprine to help. I would expect the nurses to give (R3) his pain medication to keep up with his pain control. Any foreign substance in our lungs causes pain and with (R3) having a lesion with MRSA in his lung, it definitely has the potential to be painful.On 7/23/25 at 9:20 AM, R3 stated he did get his morning pain pill but stated they never ask him what his pain level is, they just hand him his pills. R3 stated right now, his pain is an 8 and it typically is between 6 to 8 depending on if he is lying down or up moving around.On 7/23/25 at 9:30 AM, V2 stated I would expect the nurses to provide pain medications as ordered to maintain the resident's level of pain to a minimum and if they run out of the medication, I would expect the nurses to order the medications when they run out in a timely manner, so the resident does not go without getting them. I would expect the nurses to administer antibiotics as ordered for any resident.R3's Physician Order (PO), dated 6/28/25, documents Oxycodone HCl (Hydrochloride) Oral Tablet 5 MG (milligram), give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed for pain take 1-2-tab 5-10 MG by mouth every 6 hours as needed. Max daily amount 40 MG. This order was discontinued on 7/1/25. R3's PO, dated 7/1/25, documents Oxycodone HCl Oral Tablet 5 MG, give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed for pain take 1 tab (5 MG) for pain scale 1-4 and 2 tabs (10 MG) for pain scale 5-10 by mouth every 6 hours as needed. Max daily amount 40 MG. This order was discontinued on 7/16/25.R3's PO, dated 7/16/25, documents Oxycodone HCl Oral Tablet 5 MG, give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed for pain. This order was discontinued on 7/18/25. R3's PO, dated 7/18/25, documents Oxycodone HCl Oral Tablet 5 MG, give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours related to Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection.V2 provided the Controlled Substance Receipt/Record/Disposition Form for R3's Oxycodone, dated 6/29/25. This form documents R3 did receive Oxycodone from 6/29/25 up to 7/6/25 with nothing documented past 7/6/25.

This failure resulted in R3 not receiving his antibiotic as ordered, his Vancomycin Trough levels subtherapeutic therefore not sufficient in treating R3's Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) infection in his lungs. The Findings Include:R3's admission Record, dated 7/21/25, documents R3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DM2), Pneumonia, Bacteremia, and a Lung Abscess with Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) infection.R3's Care Plan, dated 7/9/25, documents R3 Is Independent with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). R3 has an alteration in comfort with interventions including administer pain meds and treatments as ordered, assess pain characteristics: duration, location, quality, encourage to report any pain, monitor for nonverbal indicators of pain (moaning, crying, grimacing, wincing), report any acute changes to Physician. R3's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents R3 is cognitively intact, is independent on all ADLs. R3 is always continent of both bowel and bladder. On 7/21/25 at 1:25 PM, R3 stated I have a PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) line in my right arm and I am supposed to get antibiotics in it twice a day. I have not received my antibiotic yet today that I was supposed to get this am. I think the IV pump is broke and that is why I am not receiving it.On 7/21/25 at 1:37 PM, V7, Registered Nurse/Nurse Practitioner (NP), stated I did not give (R3) his antibiotic this morning because he had a trough drawn and I have to wait until that result comes back in order to give this dose, in case I have to hold the dose.On 7/22/25 at 9:00 AM, R3 stated That bag is still hanging from yesterday because the nurse could not give it to me because the pump was broke. A bag of Vancomycin 1750 MG (milligram)/500 ML (milliliter) was seen hanging and attached to the IV pump which was turned off. On 7/22/25 at 9:15 AM, V7 stated The bag of antibiotics hanging in (R3's) room is the one from yesterday. I got the trough level back yesterday and went to hang it and the IV pump would not work. I even had another nurse try and the same thing. I called the pharmacy this morning and spoke with them, and they stated they would bring us a new pump today. The pharmacy showed up this morning and only delivered bags of antibiotics and no pump, so we still can't give (R3) his antibiotic. I told the DON of the situation.On 7/23/25 at 8:55 AM, V10, NP, stated I was not notified that (R3) was not receiving his antibiotic. I would expect the nurses to give the antibiotics as ordered.

I did meet with (R3) and the DON about (R3's) pain and I was not sure if it was lung pain or muscular pain and the way the Oxycodone was ordered, I wasn't sure if he was getting 5 MG or 10 MG, so I just made it 5 MG every 6 hours and added the Cyclobenzaprine to help with his muscles. I would expect the nurses to give (R3) his pain medication to keep up with his pain control. Any foreign substance in our lungs causes pain and with (R3) having a lesion with MRSA in his lung, it definitely has the potential to be painful, especially if it is not getting any better.On 7/23/25 at 9:30 AM, V2 stated I would expect the nurses to order the medications when they run out in a timely manner, so the resident does not go without getting them.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide timely incontinent/colostomy care in 1 of 1 resident (R2) reviewed for ADL (Activities of Daily Living) care in the sample of 6. This failure resulted in R2 developing painful, red excoriation around his colostomy site extending down to the abdomen, perineal area and buttocks. Findings include: On 4/23/25 at 8:45 AM, R2 was observed in bed with V8, R2's family member at bedside. R2's colostomy site and abdomen were observed with V8. There was a towel covering R2's abdomen, V8 removed the towel and R2's colostomy bag was about 3/4 full and was leaking moderate amounts of liquid stool onto R2's abdomen, down into R2's abdominal folds, perineal area and under R2's bottom.

On 3/24/25 at 1:50 PM V7, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated she was not sure how long R1 has had his pressure ulcer but thinks it should be improving with the wound vac, he is typically compliant with that. On 3/24/25 at 2:00 PM, V8, Wound Nurse, stated R1's pressure ulcer was in house acquired and R1 has had it for about 6 months, it started out as moisture associated because he likes to pour liquids on himself leaving him wet. V8 stated the ulcer had slough around it at first and was small but then went to the hospital and came back with it debrided and a lot larger. V8 stated he emphasizes implementing care plans and following interventions to improve patient care. On 3/25/25 at 1:17 PM, V8, provided R1 wound care to his stage 4 pressure injury while he was on his left side. After pressure ulcer care was completed, V8 got V11, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) to come assist him with peri care on R1. While V11 turned R1 on to his right side, two pressure ulcers with no dressings on them were noticed. V8 stated these were new, facility acquired pressure ulcers. The pressure ulcer to R1's left ischial had approximately 5-6 centimeters of erythema surrounding a darken red wound bed of granulation tissue that was approximately 2 centimeters in diameter with a skin flap peeled open, this part of the wound did not blanch when V8 applied pressure to it. V8 stated he would call this an open blister. R1's new pressure ulcer to his left hip had erythema covering approximately 4 centimeters in width by 1.5 centimeters in length with a patch of open excoriated skin in the center approximately 0.5 centimeter in diameter. V8 stated that the hip pressure ulcer was from R1's catheter tubing being underneath him while on his left side, it has the exact indentation of it. V8 stated it could have been caused by excessive time being on top of the tubing without being repositioned. V8 preceded to take pictures of both the wounds, applied skin prep to them and a bordered foam dressing to the left ischial and an island dressing to the left hip. V8 stated he would notify the wound nurse practitioner and get new orders for care. At 2:23 PM, V11 and V8 turned R1 back on to his left side. V11 and V8 stated they turned R1 on his left side again because he won't stay on his right side. V11 and V8 stated we can turn R1 on his right side and show that he won't stay there. R1 was turned to his right side by V11 and V8 cooperatively without complaints or refusal.

R1 stated he was on his left side for most of the day 3/25/25. On 3/26/25 at 3:53 PM, R16, R1's roommate, stated he doesn't see staff come in and turn him frequently. On 3/26/25 at 12:30 PM, V16, LPN, stated residents are on turn schedules to prevent break down of the skin, if a resident is non-compliant V16 stated she would try to at least offer a wedge under one side to turn even slightly. On 3/26/25 at 1:20 PM, V5 CNA stated turning schedules prevent skin break down and wounds from worsening, typically occurring every 1-2 hours. V5 stated if a resident is noncompliant with turning, a wedge can be used to turn them slightly and offer encouragement. V5 stated if a resident is not turned it is likely to cause a sore. On 3/27/25 at 1:05 PM, V2, Assistant Director of Nursing, stated she expects the nursing staff to be turning residents that require it at least every two hours, if they do not turn a resident within that timeframe, they are at risk for causing skin break down. V2 stated she does not expect a resident to be lying on top of a catheter tube, this could cause skin sores. The facility's Turning and Reposition Policy dated 8/2024 documented all residents at risk of, or with existing pressure injuries, will be turned and repositions, unless it is contraindicated due to a medical condition. In this case, small shifts in repositions with be employed. Repositioning techniques in bed includes avoiding positioning the resident onto medical devices or other foreign objects and avoid positioning residents on surfaces with existing pressure injuries, including persistent redness. Repositioning techniques in chair include if the resident is unable to make position changes, reposition every hour. The facility's Skin Management: Pressure Injury Treatment/General Wound Treatment Policy dated 10/2024 documented for management of tissue loads, pressure redistribution devices offer an effective means of reducing interface pressure but because they cannot provide pressures consistently less than 25 to 32 mm/HG (millimeters of mercury), a turning schedule should be implemented as well.

There was no documentation R4 started receiving this medication on [DATE]. On [DATE] at 1:15 PM, V18, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated, When I talked with (V17, Nurse Practitioner) she gave me an order and I received the order for the antibiotic (cefixime) but when I went to put it on the system, I got a red flag because of possible drug allergy, and I could not enter the medication in the system. I called (V17) back to let her know what was going on and I told (V7), Wound Nurse that I could not put the order in and (V7) told me not to worry about and he would take care of it. I only did treatment on (R4's) leg once before it had opened up. The wound actually started on his foot. Any wound notes would be documented in the Nurse's Notes. There was no documentation on R4's [DATE] MAR, that R4 received Cefixime, 200 mg, twice daily from ,d+[DATE] through [DATE]. This would be 10 doses of antibiotic.

On [DATE] at 11:01 AM, V7, Wound Nurse stated, I was out the week of [DATE] and I only remember vaguely of what happened. In our computer system PCC (Point Click Care) if an allergy pops up the system will not let you enter that particular order, and it is not transferred to the MAR. We were waiting for confirmation from the physician because of the drug allergy. Again, I vaguely even remember that week. I would expect all notes and wound notes and descriptions and doctor conversations to be documented in the Nurse's Notes. I can see there are no notes for the reason the antibiotic was not given timely. R4's Nurse's Notes does not document any wound notes or description of R4's left leg from [DATE] to [DATE]. R4's Nurse's Notes dated [DATE] at 11:54 AM, Late Entry: Note Text: Resident has discoloration to left lower leg and weeping dorsal left foot.

This was the same order which was given by V22 on [DATE]. R4's original order was not initiated and therefore, the antibiotic was not started, and was reordered again on [DATE]. On [DATE] at 12:55 PM, V30, Pharmacist stated, We did not receive any order for cefixime until [DATE] and then we filled that order. I looked at all of the faxes and orders and we did not receive this order until [DATE]. I do not have an order for cefixime on [DATE]. R4's Nurse's Notes dated [DATE] at 7:28 PM, documents, Note Text, Cefixime oral started on this day due to medication in refrigerator, not aware that medication was in refrigerator.

On [DATE], R4 missed both his 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM dose. On [DATE] at 2:37 PM, V18, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated, I saw (R4) had an order for the antibiotic and I was looking everywhere for it and could not find it. The POS documents an oral tablet chewable. I called the pharmacy, because I could not find it anywhere and they said the medication had been delivered. Finally, we figured out the medication was not in a pill form but rather it was in a liquid. There was a delay in the medications because of the confusion and the order did not say it was in liquid form, but rather oral form and it was in the refrigerator. There was no documentation in R4's medical record from ,d+[DATE] to [DATE] as to the condition of R4's leg.

On [DATE] at 11:18 AM, V31, Wound Doctor stated, By the time I was notified of (R4's) wound it was already really bad. I am not sure why they even waited so long for me to see him. The size of this wound was not something that would just appear overnight. His whole left leg was a big bag of pus. I had never seen anything like it. I started seeing him and ordered a culture and was trying to treat it. I only saw him twice and I was supposed to see him again, but he was out at the hospital at that time. I would expect that all my orders to be followed including medication, monitoring, vital signs, temperatures all of that should have been done. If temperatures were being done it could have been an indication that the infection was progressing, and he could have been sent out sooner. I think in this case there was a delay in treatment. I remember even speaking with (V2) about how bad the wound was on (R4) and to watch for signs of infection. The facility should have been monitoring (R4) more closely.

On Friday he was doing good, sitting on the side of the bed, making jokes. The last time I saw him was on Friday around 3:20 PM and he was fine. I don't work the weekends and when I came in on Monday, he had a change of condition and I sent him out. Nobody told me anything about his decline and I don't know when it started but when I started my shift and went to say hello he was not responding. I immediately sent him out. Because I don't work the weekends, I did not do his wound treatments. We have a wound nurse, and he does the treatments. He had just recently been sent to my hall. (R4) was on the 300-hall before that. I am not sure how the wound even started. On [DATE] at 9:24 AM, V21, Hospital Nurse stated, When patients come into the hospital it is very important for us to know if they are not cognitively intact or confused, to know if this is the normal or if this not their normal, how long have they been like this. This is a good indicator of a stroke for example, so we need to know whenever there is an altered mental status. When (R4) arrived, he was not able to answer any questions and was not alert. We were told this was not his baseline and he is normally alert x 3. I personally called the facility to try and find out how long and when this condition started that he was no longer alert and orientated. I talked with 3 different staff members, and nobody could tell me the last time anybody laid eyes on him and how long he had been like this, when this started. I find this very concerning because staff should know these things.

I started seeing him and ordered a culture and was trying to treat it. I only saw him twice and I was supposed to see him again, but he was out at the hospital at that time. I would expect that all my orders to be followed including medication, monitoring, vital signs, temperatures all of that should have been done. If temperatures were being done it could have been an indication that the infection was progressing, and he could have been sent out sooner. I think in this case there was a delay in treatment. I remember even speaking with (V2) about how bad the wound was on (R4) and to watch for signs of infection. The facility should have been monitoring (R4) more closely. On [DATE] at 8:33 AM, V7, Wound Nurse stated, (R4's) leg issue started as a bump and then an abscess. His foot was always dry, and he had bad dry skin. I am not sure what happened with his foot. I did not notice anything before he was sent out. I did his last treatment on Friday, and he was sent out to the hospital on Monday. When I am not here the floor nurse will do the treatments. I was not aware he was having any issues before he was sent out. On [DATE] at 9:12 AM, V17, Nurse Practitioner stated, If a resident has an infection/wound we would turn that over to the Wound Doctor and expect the facility to be following the Wound Doctor's orders. With any infections I would expect staff to actually be looking at the wound, applying the treatments, changing the dressings, monitoring the wound, taking vitals and temperatures every day to ensure and documenting in the TAR and watching for any changes. I cannot get into (R4's) chart from here as I am not at the facility, but if we sent an order, I would expect it be followed and communicated to us if it was not given in a timely manner. The Facility Notification Intervention and Reporting Policy with a Revision date of ,d+[DATE] documents, The center will notify the resident's physician and the resident's representative whenever: there is a significant change in the resident's health, mental or psychosocial status there is a change in the resident's condition that although not significant is prudent to report using good nursing judgment.

F600G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on interview and record review the facility neglected to ensure residents were receiving timely assessment, monitoring, and treatment to address wounds and wound infections for one of three residents (R4) reviewed for neglect in the sample of 13. This failure resulted in R4 not receiving an antibiotic as ordered on [DATE] which delayed treatment of an infection, not receiving ordered wound treatments, not having timely assessments, and monitoring of his left leg which resulted in the development of two large infected necrotic wounds, and not monitoring the overall condition of R4 during his treatment of the infection. On [DATE], R4 was sent to the hospital and admitted with sepsis and expired on [DATE] from septic shock and bacteremia. Findings include: The Abuse Policy 2022 documents The facility affirms the right of our residents to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, deprivation of goods, and services by staff or mistreatment. The facility prohibits abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, and mistreatment of residents.

R4's Nurse's Notes dated [DATE] at 3:12 PM, Note Text: results negative for DVT (deep vein thrombosis), Doctor notified, new order cefixime (antibiotic) 200 milligrams (mg) by mouth two times a day for 10 days. There was no documentation on R4's [DATE] Medication Administration Record (MAR) for cefixime 200 mg by mouth two times a day, for 10 days with a start date of [DATE]. There was no documentation R4 started receiving this medication on [DATE]. On [DATE] at 1:15 PM, V18, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated, When I talked with V17, Nurse Practitioner she gave me an order and I received the order for the antibiotic (cefixime) but when I went to put it on the system, I got a red flag because of possible drug allergy, and I could not enter the medication in the system. I called (V17) back to let her know what was going on and I told (V7), Wound Nurse that I could not put the order in and (V7) told me not to worry about and he would take care of it. I only did treatment on R4's leg once before it had opened up. The wound actually started on his foot. Any wound notes would be documented in the Nurse's Notes. There was no documentation on R4's [DATE] MAR, R4 received Cefixime, 200 mg, twice daily from ,d+[DATE] through [DATE]. This would be 10 doses of antibiotic. On [DATE] at 11:01 AM, V7, Wound Nurse stated, I was out the week of [DATE] and I only remember vaguely of what happened. In our computer system PCC (Point Click Care) if an allergy pops up the system will not let you enter that particular order, and it is not transferred to the MAR. We were waiting for confirmation from the physician because of the drug allergy. Again, I vaguely even remember that week. I would expect all notes and wound notes and descriptions and doctor conversations to be documented in the Nurse's Notes. I can see there are no notes for the reason the antibiotic was not given timely. R4's Nurse's Notes does not document any wound notes or description of R4's left leg from [DATE] to [DATE]. R4's Nurse's Notes dated [DATE] at 11:54 AM, Late Entry: Note Text: Resident has discoloration to left lower leg and weeping dorsal left foot.

R4's [DATE] MAR documented R4's antibiotic order for Cefixime oral tablet chewable, 200 mg, give 200 mg by mouth two times a day to promote wound healing for 10 days. This was the same order which was given by V22 on [DATE]. R4's original order was not initiated and therefore, the antibiotic was not started, and was reordered again on [DATE]. On [DATE] at 12:55 PM, V30, Pharmacist stated, We did not receive any order for cefixime until [DATE] and then we filled that order. I looked at all of the faxes and orders and we did not receive this order until [DATE]. I do not have an order for [DATE]. R4's Nurse's Notes dated [DATE] at 7:28 PM, documents, Note Text, Cefixime oral started on this day due to medication in refrigerator, not aware that medication was in refrigerator.

On [DATE], R4 missed both his 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM dose. On [DATE] at 2:37 PM, V18, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated, I saw (R4) had an order for the antibiotic and I was looking everywhere for it and could not find it. The POS documents an oral tablet chewable. I called the pharmacy, because I could not find it anywhere and they said the medication had been delivered. Finally, we figured out the medication was not in a pill form but rather it was in a liquid. There was a delay in the medications because of the confusion and the order did not say it was in liquid form, but rather oral form and it was in the refrigerator. There was no documentation in R4's medical record from ,d+[DATE] to [DATE] as to the condition of R4's left leg.

I don't work the weekends and when I came in on Monday, he had a change of condition and I sent him out. Nobody told me anything about his decline and I don't know when it started but when I started my shift and went to say hello he was not responding. I immediate sent him out. On [DATE] at 9:24 AM, V21, Hospital Nurse stated, When patients come into the hospital it is very important for us to know if they are not cognitively intact or confused, to know if this is the normal or if this not their normal, how long have they been like this. This is a good indicator of a stroke for example, so we need to know whenever there is an altered mental status. When (R4) arrived, he was not able to answer any questions and was not alert. We were told this was not his baseline and he is normally alert x 3. I personally called the facility to try and find out how long and when this condition started that he was no longer alert and orientated. I talked with 3 different staff members, and nobody could tell me the last time anybody laid eyes on him and how long he had been like this, when this started. I find this very concerning because staff should know these things.

On [DATE] at 9:11 AM, V7 stated, I was not here working when (R4) went out to the hospital so I cannot say what happened. I know, I get a lot of complaints from residents when I do not work but I cannot be here 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I have been told by the residents, multiple times that nobody is doing wound treatments over the weekends. I would consider missing wound treatments to be a bad thing and not good for the resident. On [DATE] at 9:12 AM, V17, Nurse Practitioner stated, If a resident has an infection/wound we would turn that over to the Wound Doctor and expect the facility to be following the Wound Doctor's orders. With any infections I would expect staff to actually be looking at the wound, applying the treatments, changing the dressings, monitoring the wound, taking vitals and temperatures every day to ensure and documenting in the TAR and watching for any changes. I cannot get into (R4's) chart from here as I am not at the facility, but if we sent an order, I would expect it be followed and communicated to us if it was not given in a timely manner.

I completed the missing paperwork and turned it to dispatch so (R88) could be entered. At 11:57 PM, (V58) was disported to (Metro Link) and located (R88). This report was documented by V59, Local Police Officer. The Police Report documents R88 was found at a Metro Station 2.2 miles from the facility at 11:57 PM. The World Weather Services documents on 1/18/2023 at 7 PM in the city where the facility is located, it was raining and 37 degrees Fahrenheit. R88's Nurse's Notes dated 1/19/2023 at 12:32 AM, Made aware resident was returned to the facility/staff. R88's emergency room visit with an encounter date of 1/19/2023 documents, Chief complaint: Manic Behaviors. [AGE] year old white male with a history of schizophrenia, hypertension, reflux hyperthyroidism, currently has been living in a nursing home for six months or so was sent by the nursing home staff because of increasingly manic behavior, increasing hallucinations and tonight eloped from the nursing home, and he was found and brought back to the nursing home staff sent him here for evaluation, and medical clearance, and if he is cleared he may return back to the nursing home. Patient does report auditory and visual hallucinations, but he is vague. Physical Exam: At times speaks relatively clearly and other times he is rambling and does not make a lot of sense. However, when he settles down, he is able to provide a good history. He then just goes off on other tangents and has to be redirected. Patient arrived to ED (Emergency Department) via EMS (Emergency Medical Systems) from nursing home for complaints of maniac behavior. Per nursing home, he has been having more hallucinations, both auditory and visual. Patient reports he was locked out of the facility, and he was going to walk to [NAME] and get his truck. Patient is alert and orientated, calm and agreeable. He did have multiple blood pressures that were elevated, we did give him amlodipine and clonidine to control his pressure, he is scheduled for his morning dose AM and recommending his blood pressure be followed closely and his primary care physician be notified. R88's Facility Incident Report Form, undated, documents Family notified 1/18/2023 and Physician notified, documents, (R88) left the facility without notifying staff. Physician and Family notified immediately. Resident's mother stated that (R88) spoke of coming to visit her in (town). Resident did not mention this to staff. She provided phone number of his close friend that she stated he was also in contact with on a regular basis. Facility immediately began search for resident. Local police department was notified and assisted with locating resident. The Report Form Section Occurrence Resolution documented Facility began immediate search for resident with assistance of the local police, facility staff and regional staff. Facility spoke with resident's friend who stated that (R88) mentioned going to (City) and that he knows his way and has means to get there. Resident was located at the Metrolink station. Resident was assessed by staff with no injury or changes in status. Resident was dressed appropriately. Upon interview resident stated, 'I was going to see my mom'. Staff encouraged resident to speak to mother via phone and/or face time. Offered relocations closer to mother. Resident educated on the sign in/out process when leaving the facility. Resident was placed on enhanced monitoring and care plan updated. On 3/8/2023 at 4:27 PM, R88 stated, I left here because I don't like it here. I wanted to go back to my apartment. I don't like living here. I used to live downstairs on the 500- hall in the basement. I went out the basement door during the smoke break. I was trying to get back to (city name) to my apartment. I told them I did not like it here. On 3/8/2023 at 4:35 PM, V31, Maintenance Director stated, I am in the process of getting a new door frame for this door. When you open this door there is another door here and it is alarmed. Sometimes staff and residents will go out this door to smoke. (R88) was a smoker. He would fidget a lot. I was told they think he got out this door during the smoke break. On 3/8/2023 at 4:45 PM, V19, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) stated, (R88) liked to play and guitar, sing and do music. He was all over the place and he liked to walk around. I was not here when he eloped, but I heard he had wandered off during the smoke break. On 3/9/2023 at 5:00 PM, V34, R88's Mother, stated, I was not informed that (R88) was sent out to the hospital today. I know he constantly has behaviors, and it happens quite often that is why he is in the facility. He eloped from the facility last month. I do not think he can make good decision on his own. He gets confused and sometimes he sees things that are not there. I do not think he could make it to my home safely on his own. I am [AGE] years old and (R88's) birthday is coming up and I am so worried about him. I never told anyone that he had the mental capacity to be on his own or that he could make it home safely to see me. R88's MDS dated [DATE] document R88 severely impaired for cognition for decision for activities of daily living. R88's MDS documents R88 can walk in room supervision only and wandering occurred daily. On 3/9/2023 at 1:24 PM, V34, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated, I think (R88) went out to smoke at 7 PM for a smoke break. The guy, I don't know his name, but he was in charge of the smoke break said he let (R88) back into the building again. When I went to give out my pills later that night (R88) he was not in the building. I alerted everyone and we did a search and could not find him. At first, they thought they found him on a bus, when I left my shift at 10:30 PM, (R88) was still missing. I work with agency I had never worked with (R88) before, so I was not sure what was or was not normal for him. They said they let them out to smoke and are supposed to watch and monitor and then let everyone back inside of the building. Nobody told me any information about any of the residents. I did not get any report sheet, I just got a sheet with resident names but no information. A lot of staff are supposed to have one 1:1 and one night I did not have any aides I charted that and the ADON (Assistant Director of Nursing) got mad at me and yelled at me because I charted in the charts that there was no sitter. I think that building is risky and scary. If they are supposed to be on 1:1, then I would expect staff to be there for 1:1. I can't do my job and do 1:1. That's just an accident waiting to happen. On 3/10/2023 at 10:54 AM, V35, emergency room (ER) Attending Physician stated, (R88) had increased behavior and increased hallucination. The Police found (R88) and brought him back to the nursing home where they then send him to the ER. (R88) did not want to be in a nursing home and I was told he had a history of non-compliance. (R88) wanted to be in the outside world but with his psychiatric mental illness and medical problems and to keep him safe he needed to be in the nursing home with supervision. (R88) was healthy enough to figure out how to get out of the facility but not healthy enough to make safe decision and be aware of his environment, road, dangers, things that I would expect a healthy person to be aware of and able to navigate on their own. I do not believe (R88) was capable of making this safety decisions on how own and that would put him at risk for dangers. On 3/14/2023 at 12:37 PM, V1, Administrator stated, I interviewed all staff and could not get anyone to admit to me that they did not do a head count and/or anything to determine how (R88) got out of the building and when he got out of the building. We still do not know how he got out of the building. On 3/14/2023 at 1:03 PM, V68, Social Service Director stated, Nobody is really in charge of smoke breaks. Staff hold on to their cigarettes and hand them out. Staff are to supervisor residents when they smoke. I would expect all staff to do a head count and ensure everyone comes back into the building and is accounted for. After (R88) eloped (V1) moved the smoking so nobody staff and residents can smoke on the 500 hall that is where (R88) eloped on. (V69) was in charge of the smoke break when (R88) eloped. The elopement book observed at the Nurse's station on the 300-hall identified the following residents as elopement risk: R7, R9, R15, R17, R19, R20, R21, R23, R26, R27, R36, R37, R39, R40, R42, R43, R44, R45, R46, R49, R50, R52, R56, R66, R69, R70, R72, R74, R83, R85, R88, R93, R103, R104, R106, R107, R110, R122, R123, R126, and R232. The elopement Policy with a review dated of 9/2022 and 3/14/2023 documents, Elopement occurs when a resident occurs when a resident leaves the premises or a safe area without authorization (i.e., an order for discharge or leave of absence) and/or any necessary supervision to do so. This does not include alert and orientated resident who handle themselves outside the facility and choose to leave the facility, even if against medical advice and sometimes, common sense. While presenting different care challenges, these alert residents are not in the same category of potential danger as the residents with impaired cognition trying to leave the facility, and their absences from the facility are not considered to be an elopement. All residents will be assessed for elopement risk upon admission, with significant change in condition, and quarterly. Residents who are at risk to elope are closely supervised to keep them safe in their environment, while allowing to move freely about the safe environment. Residents at risk to elope will be closely monitored. The Immediate Jeopardy that began on 1/18/23 was removed on 3/10/23 when the facility took the following actions to remove the immediacy: A. Identification of Residents Affected or Likely to be Affected: 1. R88 was assessed on 1/18/2023 by V49 Regional Nurse/Registered Nurse. Resident is currently out of facility. V2, DON will reassess R88 upon return to facility. 2. All residents were assessed for elopement risks by, V70, Previous MDS Coordinator, V55, MDS/Care Plan, V47, LPN/MDS, V4, RN/ICP, on 1/19/2023 and reassessed by V55, V2, V47, and V4 on 3/10/2023 to be ongoing for new residents will be assessed for elopement risk and residents with newly identified exit seeking behaviors will be reassessed for elopement risk. 3. Enhanced monitoring orders will be obtained by V49 and V4 for any residents identified to be at moderate or high risk for elopement on 3/10/2023 and to be ongoing for any newly identified exit seeking behavior and new admissions with identified exit seeking behavior. 4. Care plans were updated with interventions to address identified risks by V49, V47, V70, and V55 on 1/19/2023 ongoing to include all new residents and as needed for newly identified exit seeking behaviors. B. Actions to Prevent Occurrence/Recurrence: 1. The corporate and leadership team V49, V50, Corporate Clinical Nurse Consultant, V51, Corporate [NAME] President of Clinical Operations, V52, Corporate Regional Director, V1 and V3 reviewed policies and procedures regarding elopement on 1/18/2023 and 3/10/2023. 2. The interdisciplinary team including V1, V3, V4, V2, V55, V47, V26/CNA, V53, Human Resource Director, V54, Therapy Director, V37, Medical Records, V27, Admissions, V42 Dietary Manager, V60 Front Desk/Receptionist, V10 CNA/Staffing Coordinator, and V31 Maintenance Supervisor, will provide training to the staff related to the above-mentioned policy to be completed on 1/19/2023 and 3/10/2023 to be ongoing for new hires and agency staff. 3. The training will also include providing supervision/monitoring to prevent elopements and recognizing when a resident exits the facility or has newly identified exit seeking behaviors to be ongoing to include new hires and agency staff. 4. All agency staff and new hires will be educated on the above policies prior to beginning their shift by V10, V53, and V1 to be ongoing. 5. Safety checks of all potential exits daily to ensure they are secure. This will be done by the maintenance supervisor V31 and V56 to be ongoing. 6. V31 and V56 will conduct elopement drills at least three (3) times a month, at different shifts to ensure compliance to be ongoing. 7. The elopement drill will be evaluated by the Administrator, V1 and any identified concern will be addressed. Additional staff training will be completed as needed. 8. An Ad-Hoc QAPI meeting will be held weekly for four (4) weeks by the QAPI team to discuss this removal plan and identify if additional interventions are necessary to be ongoing. 9. Monitoring/auditing of ongoing education of staff for elopement policy and procedures, daily safety checks of all potential exits, and elopement drills and ongoing assessments of new residents and residents with newly identified issues regarding elopement by V1 will continue for a minimum of three months to be ongoing and will part of the QAPI process.

3 findings
F600L · Immediate jeopardy, widespread

Based on interview, observation, and record review, the Facility failed to supervise and implement progressive interventions to prevent resident to resident physical abuse. This failure has the potential to affect all 142 residents living in the facility. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 4/25/22 when R2 became physically aggressive throwing objects which hit R8. This same day, he threatened to kill R9. Subsequently, R2 continued to have impulsive aggressive behaviors and physical abused R1, R6 and R11. Due to the facility's failure to address R2's ongoing impulsive aggressive behaviors and provide supervision to prevent these aggressive behaviors, this has the potential to affect all residents in the facility. V1, Administrator, V20, Regional Clinical Nurse, and V6, Social Service Director, were notified of Immediate Jeopardy on 1/26/23 at 8:46 AM. The surveyor confirmed by record review and interview that the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 1/27/23, but noncompliance remains at Level Two because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the in-service training.

Sometimes what we are doing for (R2) just doesn't work. Right now, the only thing we are doing for him is one-on-one. (R2) knows that if he says something suicidal or homicidal, that we will send him out for an evaluation, so he gets out of the building. When he returns, he is put on a 72-hour one-on-one watch.

On 01/19/23 at 11:50 AM, V4, State Guardian, stated, (R2) has never been on one-on-one that I know of. Every time I visit, I don't see him with a one-on-one. The facility does not let me know when (R2) does things. They usually wait until I get here and fill me in. On 1/23/23 at 1:50 PM, V9, LPN, stated (R2) wanted to get out so he complained of suicidal ideations and he was just sent out. (R2) doesn't really give specifics as to what he may want to do to himself, but I know he will try something because he has done it before. For now, we are just keeping him on 1:1 observation. On 1/27/23 at 10:50 AM, V19, Psychiatrist, stated In my professional opinion, (R2) is in best place for him right now. He has no place to go. He is not appropriate for a group home, and he cannot survive on the street. (R2) has spent many many years in the system. We have tried therapy, several different medications, and different outpatient resources. (R2) has a lot of attention seeking behaviors and will act up at the facility, and then when he gets to the emergency room , is calm and quiet. The Facility's Residents Rights & Residents Safety, dated 7/8/20, documents These guidelines emphasize a proactive intervention promoting enhanced physical, psychosocial well-being and person-centered care while promoting resident/resident representative care participation. The facility recognizes that there may be occasions in which standard approaches of Q (every) 2 hour rounds may need to be increased to more frequent, enhanced observation. Enhanced supervision should take the form of positive interaction, in line with the patient's therapeutic goals. It continues Q15-minute, Q30-minute, hourly checks - the staff will check observe the resident's status/whereabouts every 15 or 30 minutes, or hourly. One to one observation - one staff member will be scheduled to provide one to one observation. The scheduled staff member will not have other resident in his/her care assignment. This is an integral part of a therapeutic plan and ensures the safe and sensitive monitoring of the patients physical and psychological well-being, whilst at the same time developing positive therapeutic interactions. It should consider interactions and engagements with the patient that maintains a balance between intrusion and safety. The Facility's Suicide Policy, undated, documents It is the policy of this facility to act quickly and appropriately if a resident express thought of suicide. It continues Policy Explanations and Compliance Guidelines: 1. All staff members will immediately report any suicidal ideation to the resident's charge nurse and facility social worker. 2. Immediately notify the resident's physician if the resident presents with suicidal ideation, even if he or she isn't specific about a plan or intent. 3. If applicable, notify the resident's responsible party of the resident's suicidal ideation and any orders received from the resident's physician. 4. The resident will not be left alone. One-on-one care will be provided until arrangements can be made for the resident to receive emergency psychiatric care, or until the resident's physician determines that the risk of suicide is no longer present. 5. Objectively and thoroughly document the resident's mood and behaviors, as well as all actions taken, in the medical record. 6. If the resident requires inpatient psychiatric services, State specific guidelines and requirements will be followed. The Facility's Elopement Policy, dated 9/2022, documents Elopement occurs when a resident leaves the premises or a safe area without authorization (i.e., an order for discharge or leave of absence) and/or any necessary supervision to do so. This does not include alert and oriented residents who handle themselves outside the facility and choose to leave the facility, even if against medical advice and sometimes, common sense. While presenting different care challenges, these alert residents are not in the same category of potential danger as the residents with impaired cognition trying to leave the facility, and their absences from the facility are not considered to be an elopement. It continues Residents who are at risk to elope are closely supervised to keep them safe in their environment, while allowing them to move freely about the safe environment. The Immediate Jeopardy that began on 4/25/22 was removed on 1/27/23 when the facility took the following actions to remove the immediacy. A. Identification of Residents Affected or Likely to be Affected: 1.

The Immediate Jeopardy began on 7/27/2022 when R2 was found missing from the facility by the local police department approximately two miles from the facility. The Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 8/5/22. V1, Administrator, V2, Director of Nursing, and V21, Corporate were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 8/5/22 at 11:11 AM. The surveyors confirmed by observation, record review and interview that the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 8/8/22 but non-compliance remains at Level 2 because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of in-service training. Findings include: On 7/28/2022 at 1:35 PM, R2 was not in the facility. R2's Face sheet documents R2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].

R2's Minimum Data Set signed 6/24/2022 document R2 was moderately impaired for cognition. R2 has no physical impairments and can walk independently. R2's Facility assessment dated [DATE] document R2 is a high risk for elopement. The Assessment form also documents, Complete on admission there was no date on the form or date of R2's admission (6/13/2022). The only date was 7/27/2022 of the date the form was completed. On 7/28/2022 at 1:10 PM, V1, Administrator stated, (R2) did elope from the facility but he was checked off at 6:30 AM by the hall monitor and when staff did their rounds an hour later, they could not find him, so we called the police and did an elopement search and hour later the police found him and brought him back. (R2) had only been gone an hour at the most. We are not sure how he got out. R2's Police Report documents, Wednesday, July 27, 2022, at approximately 11:12 AM hours, I, Officer (V8) responded to the area of State Street and West van Buren Street to attempt to locate a white elderly male wearing a black shirt and pajama pants and no shoes. Furthermore, dispatch advised the caller and stated the subject appeared confused. Officer (V9) responded to assist. I located the above-described individual sitting on a sidewalk behind The Edge near the intersection of State St. and W. van Buren St. Upon contacting the subject, he identified himself as (R2), and while speaking with him he was able to provide his birth date, Social Security number, and Illinois Driver's License number. (R2) was talkative, he spoke with me about his military background. His clothing appeared to be wet but not dripping wet, there was what appeared to be mud on the lower portion of his pant legs and had no explanation of where his shoes were. I photographed (R2). (R2) made the following statements written in essence not verbatim: I've been at (Facility) for five months; I don't like how I'm taken care of. I walked away from there last night (7/26/22) right before dark; I'm trying to get back home to [NAME] IL. I'm prescribed multiple medications but the only one they give me is my blood thinner and I have not taken it since I left. I could have a pulmonary embolism if I don't have it. I contacted dispatch providing (R2's) information and requested an ambulance to respond to my location; dispatch advised he was clear with no alerts and (ambulance company) EMS was dispatched. Additionally, I requested dispatch to contact (Facility) to find out if (R2) was a patient and if they were aware he had walked away. Dispatch advised when they attempted phone contact, no one answered. (V14, Officer) and (V15, Officer) were dispatched to Integrity to make contact. (V14, Officer) made contact at (Facility) and advised me that (R2) is a resident there and that they were not aware he had walked away. Additionally, he stated an employee would be responding to our location. Ambulance arrived on scene. A short time later, (V16) (Business Office Manager) and (V17) Social Services Director) arrived on the scene. (V16) signed a refusal with ambulance for transport of R2 and stated they had one of their vans in route to transport (R2) back to (Facility). Shortly thereafter, an (Facility) transport van arrived and (R2) walked into the van. On 7/29/2022 at 4:01 PM, V8, Officer of Local Police Department stated, I was with Officer (V9) when we were contacted because we got a call that there was a confused resident, wandering around. (R2) was able to tell us that he was from (Facility). He was dirty, no shoes, clothes were wet, mud on his feet and ankles. (R2) told us he had left the night before and been wandering around. We took him to the facility and staff were not even aware that he had left. Nobody from the facility alerted us or notified us at any time on 7/26/2022 or 7/27/2022 that any resident was missing from the facility. On 8/2/2022 at 11:41 AM, V9, Officer of Local Police Department stated, I was at State Street and West van Buren in [NAME] Illinois. This is a very busy area and is close to interstate 15 and North Belt streets which are both very busy and unsafe for people walking. When I saw (R2) he was confused, wearing pajamas, and no shoes and was wandering the streets. We had had a big storm the night before and (R2's) clothes appeared wet. He was not wearing any shoes, was bare foot and had dried mud around his ankles. He told me had had walked out of the facility the night before and wanted to go to his home ([NAME], Illinois). We also have a creek in that area, and it floods. (R2) was able to tell me his name, and social security number. Initially he did not want to give the name of the facility because he did not want to go back. He told me he had been at the facility for five months and was not getting the correct medication. He went on to say that he was on blood thinners and had not taken any since the night before and was worried that he could have a pulmonary embolism. He said the facility was not giving him his correct medications. We tried to call the facility but at first, we could not get anybody to answer. Then when they finally responded they were able to confirm that he was a resident there and when we asked to speak to him, they said just in minute, they left then they came back and then they told us they could not find him and that was when we told the facility he was in our custody. The facility was not even aware that he was gone. I did an internet search of past weather conditions and for [NAME] IL indicated an overnight low air temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit with 10mph winds and thunderstorms. Additionally, the most direct path by road from the facility to our location was two miles as indicated by an internet search. I was also told they door alarms were not working at that time. The facility had no clue when he left the facility and or how long he had even been gone. We found (R2) on 7/27/2022 at around 11:12 AM. There were no entries in R2's Progress Notes documented on 7/25/2022 or 7/26/2022. R2's Progress Notes dated 7/27/2022 at 9:13 AM, document Staff unable to locate resident, breakfast served in resident room, not there, staff believed resident was out for smoke break as he does like to go out with the smokers for fresh air or visiting with peers as he likes to do this.

On 7/28/2022 at 3:03 PM, V5, Nurse Manager stated, Staff are constantly checking on residents during medication pass, and we have hall monitors continuously checking. I am not aware of any issues with staffing or not having enough hall monitors. The hall monitors check off a list every hour for every resident. We found out (R2) was not here because I was going to do a room change and he wasn't in his room. I went and saw nurse (V6, Licensed Practical Nurse, LPN) and she had not seen him either, so we all spread out or started looking for him. We were looking for him for about 15-20 minutes on property and then we called the police and the police found him about 15-20 minutes later and brought him back and then we sent him out to the hospital, and he is still there. I never, personally talked with the police. On 7/28/2022 at 3:23 PM, V6, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated, stated, I was working the day (V5) approached me and told me (R2) was missing. I think it was about 2 days ago. I am not sure I have heard 2 different stories, so I am not sure what really happened. I heard (R2) wandered out the night before and then I heard he only wandered out this morning I don't know which one is right. (R2) can ambulate by himself and he is independent and alert and orientated x 3. He can answer questions and tell you what happened. The nurse manager came to me and asked me if I had seen (R2) because he was going to do a room check and he wanted to know the last time I had seen (R2), which I could not remember. We started a search because I could not remember when I had last seen him. He has two roommates, and they were not able to provide any information. That is all I really remember. I did not contact the police but cannot say if anyone else did. The police were the ones that brought (R2) back into the facility and then he was sent out to the hospital. On 7/31/2022 at 8:00 PM, V11, Hall Monitor stated, I am not aware of anybody eloping the facility in the last 3 months. Nobody told me about anything. I have a clipboard and I must go and check off residents every hour. There is supposed to be three of us, but I am the only one working tonight. I have the whole building to do. Staffing schedules document V11 and V16, Business Office Manager, were both working as hall monitors on 7/26/2022. On 8/4/2022 at 10:03 AM, V13, Certified Nursing Assistant stated, I worked on 7/27/2022 but (R2) was already missing. Everybody was talking about (R2) and they told me he had left on 7/26/2022 at night. We did not do any room search or anything because he was already gone. I worked the 300 halls but (R2) was already gone. I heard staff talking about it when I started my shift at 6:30 AM on 7/27/2022 but again he was already gone, and they said he had left the night before. Nobody was doing any searches because he had gone the night before. Staffing schedules were reviewed for 7/27/2022 for the day shift for the 300 hall and V6 was documented as the nurse working the 300 halls for the day shift, and V12 was documented as the certified nursing assistant working on the 300 halls. On 8/4/2022 at 1:43 PM, V17, Social Service Director stated, The police contacted the facility and they told us they had (R2). I am not sure who took the call. This was on 7/27/2022. I am not sure about the time. We didn't know how long (R2) had been gone and or when he had left. I cannot really say as I don't know. (V16, Business Office Manager) and I got in my car, and we drove out to the (Family entertainment business) where the police said (R2) was at. (V5) the nurse told us to send (R2) to (hospital). We waited for the facility bus and had (R2) sent out to the hospital per (V5). (R2) was in his Pajamas and he had mud on PJ's and was not wearing any shoes and was barefoot. He is still in the hospital and has not returned. On 8/4/2022 at 1:55 PM, V4, LPN, Nurse Manager stated, Once we knew (R2) was not at the facility then I had staff send him directly to the hospital to get an evaluation on him. No, I do not know how long he had been missing and/or when he had left the facility. (V16) and (V17) both went out to where the police had found him and had the van send him to the hospital. On 8/4/2022 at 1:05 PM, V18, Hall Monitor stated, I was working the day (R2) got out of the facility. Nobody knows when he got out and or how long he had been out. When I was doing my hour checks. We have a clip board with names of residents who are at risk, and we are supposed to go around every hour and lay eyes on the residents at risk and check them off on the clip board. When I went into (R2's) room he has two other roommates and when I opened the door, I saw 3 people laying in each bed, so I checked it off. Later, the police came and brought (R2) back. I am not sure what time. But when I went and checked (R6) was laying in (R2's) bed. (R6) had apparently been sleeping in his bed all night so I did not realize it was not (R2) and checked him off as being in the facility. On 8/4/2022 at 3:35 PM, R2 was in his room, clothes clean sitting on his bed. R2 was missing some teeth on his lower jaw. At 3:37 PM, R2 stated, Yes, it is true I tried to run away from here. I jumped out of the window here a week ago because I was trying to go home. I hate it here! I have no life here. People here do not really care about you. I told them I was not happy here, but nothing changed. Day after day everything the same. I guess I don't matter to anybody here. I left at night when everyone was sleeping. It was raining when I left. I fell and hurt my back. I used to work at an automotive shop and had a herniated disk. I think I hurt it again my herniated disk because it hurts now. It still hurts. I used to live by myself, and I want to do that again. I could not sleep that night, so I left through the window in my bedroom. I don't like it here and they brought me right back here. On 8/4/2022 at 5:13 PM, V16, Business Office Manager stated, I received a phone call from the police telling me that they had (R2). I do not recall any of the details. At the time of the call, we did not know he was missing and or when he had gotten out or when he had left. On 8/5/2022 at 9:48 AM, V2, Director of Nursing stated, (V5) was making rounds on 7/27/2022 as he wanted to do a move change. He went to check with (R2) and (R2) was not there and was missing. I do not believe our cameras work in the front so we really cannot say when or we are not exactly sure when (R2) left the facility. On 8/5/2022 at 9:51 AM, V1, Administrator stated, I do not have anything on camera showing when (R2) left the facility. The cameras do not even work on the halls. I have no way of showing or knowing exactly when (R2) left the facility. On 8/5/2022 at 8:41 AM, V19, Hospital Physician stated, (R2) when he was admitted to us, he had neurocognitive disorder, dementia, possibility of the mixed type with Alzheimer and vascular contributions with [CONDITION(S)] and behavioral features. He was having delusions and was confused, and he was not able to fully understand reality. He was more than likely not able to understand safety awareness including traffic, and inclement weather and reduced awareness of his environment. He was admitted to our facility and was here for a week. On 8/5/2022 at 9:02 AM, V20, Medical Director stated, I cannot recall who (R2) is as a patient. If (R2) was admitted in June, then I have not personally seen him as I have been out of the country. I cannot say or testify as I do not know him. We need to know how (R2) got into the facility in the first place. Was he living alone before? We never want to see any resident get out of the facility without staff knowing. On 8/5/2022 at 9:32 AM, V12, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), stated, I know I was working on 7/27/2022 and I usually pass out meal trays. (R2) does not eat in the dining room he takes his meals in his rooms. (R2) is also a smoker and so when I passed out his breakfast tray, he was not in his room but that was normal for him because he is a smoker. There is a smoke break around breakfast time and that is usually where you will find him. Nobody came to me and asked me if I had seen him or told me that he was missing. I did not learn about it until a few days later when I returned to work. I did not help with any search or was even aware that anybody was looking for (R2) that day. On 8/5/2022 at 10:23 AM, V24, CNA stated, I heard about (R2) eloping because all of the staff was talking about how he got out of the building. Nobody knows when or what time he got out.

The CNAs are supposed to check on all the residents at least every 2 hours. V4 stated, I know no alarms went off on the night shift on 7/7/2020. The doors are all alarmed. V4 stated again, I don't know how he would have got out of the building. I guess the door alarm may not have worked. I don't know. No, I never heard any alarms going off alerting us that he had left the building. On 7/23/2020 at 10:28 AM, V14 (CNA) stated, Yes I know (R2). I work the night shift. I come in at 10:30 PM. I saw (R2) that night (7/7/20) about 10:50 PM or 11:00 PM pacing the halls. I was not assigned to his hall that night. (R2) did seem distressed and had an angry look on his face. I went to the nurse and let her know you better check on (R2) because he is pacing, and he is about to go off. I think the nurse was either (V7, LPN) or (V18, LPN). We are supposed to go to the charge nurse when anything unusual is going on. (R2) is usually quiet but sometimes he will get an angry look, and pace when he is about to go out the door. I didn't hear any door alarms go off that night. If the door alarm goes off everybody runs to see what is going on. I heard about (R2) missing the next day by another CNA. No one from the facility asked me any questions about him. We do bed checks every 2 hours to make sure all the residents are dry. We check and make sure they are accounted for. I would check at 12:00 AM, 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM. (R2) did not need to be checked frequently unless he was having some behavioral issues. He was usually quiet and stayed in his room.

I am not sure when he went missing. On 7/28/2020 at 3:30 PM, V26 stated, (R2) can't make his own decisions, that's why I have guardianship of him. He lived with me, and he would get himself beat up on the street, he wouldn't pay his bills, and he wouldn't take his medication. He became combative and I couldn't take care of him anymore. That is why we put him at the facility. I have court appointed Guardianship. V26 confirmed R2 eloped on 6/25/20. V26 stated, He has eloped at least 4 times this past 3 months. I believe they sent him to the hospital that time because he was so upset, and he had hit someone. On 7/23/2020 at 3:20 PM, V19 (Physician/Medical Director) stated, I go the facility every Saturday and that facility in particular has a population that has a lot of psych patients and they have tendency to run out the door, but I was never informed that (R2) had eloped from the facility and was still missing and could not be found. I was never informed of (R2) leaving the building and missing. (R2) needs supervision and especially with his history of eloping the facility should have something in place. The facility should have a working alarm system in place so no one can get out of the facility without staff knowing about it. They should be checking on (R2) and monitoring him. (R2) has behaviors and I do not believe he can make good judgements about his surroundings and environment. No, I do not believe (R2) can make good decisions. I was never contacted regarding (R2) becoming agitated, was distressed and/or angry. I would expect the facility to notify me of his behaviors and of his elopement. As of 7/24/2020 at 12:00 PM an onsite was made to the facility and R2 was not in the facility. R2 had not returned to the facility and his whereabouts were still unknown.

F517J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and operationalize a Disaster Preparedness and Evacuation Plan for bariatric residents over 1000 pounds. This deficient practice resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy affecting one of one resident (R3) reviewed for Disaster Preparedness and Evacuation Plan in the sample of 3. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 8/14/15 when R3 was placed in a bed that is larger than his room door dimensions. Findings include: On 3/5/16 at 2:00 PM, R3 was in bed in a sitting position with the back of the bed raised supporting R3's back. R3 is massively obese and was in a wide bariatric bed. R3 was unable to get out of bed. He was on a vent. He stated, Z1 is my primary (care physician). He changed the order that I must go to the hospital [MEDICAL CONDITION]. No ambulance around here can move me cause I'm too big. The administrator found an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) doctor that said he would [MEDICAL CONDITION].

She stated she had just talked to Z2 on the telephone and he said he was still willing to perform [MEDICAL CONDITION] procedure in the facility. She stated R3 had been in another facility before going to this one for about 3 or 4 years. He was moved by ambulance. She stated the facility had to get a new bed for R3 a few months ago because he gained so much weight. R3 refused at first because he is afraid to be in the mechanical lift, but finally agreed to move to the new bed. Z3 stated a lot of people that worked in the facility helped stabilize R3 when he was moved. Z3 stated that R3 wears a hospital gown all the time. He doesn't have any clothes except for the ones he had when he went to the facility, but they didn't fit him. On 3/10/16, R3's bed dimensions were measured. R3's bed was 52 inches wide by 87 inches long. The door opening from R3's room into the corridor measured 43.5 inches wide. Therefore, R3's bed could not fit through the door to exit his room. The fire exit door closest to R3's room measured 45.5 inches wide. As you exit the building there is a wooden ramp. There is a gate as you enter to the ramp which measures 49 inches wide. The wooden ramp is 57 inches wide rail to rail . E1 was interviewed on 3/14/16 and stated that R3 was placed in the 52 inch wide bed on 8/14/15. R3's March 2016 physician's orders [REDACTED].

The weight came out 1230 pounds on the scale. The capacity of the hoyer said 1000 pounds but the weight part can go up higher and is not limited. Once we figured out he was over the weight limit for the hoyer, we couldn't use it again. We know he got bigger because his sides started to touch the edge of the bed. We got him a new bed. On 3/14/16 at 2:40 PM, E13, CNA stated that she weighed R3 using the hoyer lift with the built in scale in June 2015. It took 6 people to steady him because he panics alot and moves around. She stated it is difficult to keep him steady. R3's Physician's Progress Report, dated 1/13/16, documents Diagnoses: [REDACTED]. It is caused by a constant intake of food that goes well beyond what the body requires) which is [MEDICAL CONDITION] requiring ventilatory support. A hand written document located in the front of R3's medical record, dated 1/25/16, documented (R3) - If Resident is in Respiratory distress call 911 & inform 911 operator that Z16, Local Ambulance Company, ambulance needs to send bariatric ambulance and resident's weight is greater than 1400 lbs and is dependent on assist control Ventilator.

They stated that a plan was developed on 2/28/16 and was not in writing. The plan involved a cart with tools which included a large crowbar, an electric saw that cuts through metal and wood, an extension cord and a large hammer, locked in the Respiratory Therapy room. Each nurse has a key. The walls in R3's room are sheet rock. The plan would be to use the tools to knock the wall out in R3's room and take him, in his bed, down the hall to the double front doors. The doors are wide enough to accommodate R3's bed. Once he was out on the sidewalk call Z14, Bariatric Ambulance,and the Fire Department.

He was told by Z16 they were unable to transport R3 due to his size. Z7 stated after receiving this information, he contacted Z15, other local ambulance, because this company had an ambulance that could accommodate a bariatric resident. When he contacted Z15, Bariatric ambulance, he was told the ambulance could accommodate a patient who was 1000 pounds or under. R3 was 1000 pounds plus and could not be transported by this ambulance. Z7 stated he then contacted Z14, bariatric ambulance, Z7 stated this company had an ambulance that had a two ramp system. He stated each ramp would hold 700 pounds. Z14 told Z7 they would not transfer R3 due to the inability to ensure that R3's weight would be evenly distributed on the two ramps. This would include his body weight, equipment and staff attempting to assist with the transfer. Z7 stated because R3 could not be transferred out of the facility for medical care he and his superiors at (Local Hospital) discussed possible alternatives. Z7 stated that on 3/1/16, Z1, Administrator notified him and said it was the facility's stance that R3 had to go to the hospital for this procedure. Z7 confirmed there was no ambulance service in the region that could transport this resident. Z7 stated at no time did the facility contact him regarding how to transport R3 if there was an emergency. 3/9/16 at 3:00 pm, Z13, City Fire Department Chief, said that the facility had not approached him or the Fire Department in regards to developing a Disaster Plan for R3.

We titrated insulin up slowly from initially using [MEDICATION NAME] 5 mg and low dose sliding scale to end with [MEDICATION NAME] 25 mg every HS and Mid dose sliding scale. She tolerated this well." A History and Physical (H&P) from Z2, Physician documents R2 was seen for a witnessed [MEDICAL CONDITION] and a follow up of an infection with a MDRO (multi-drug resistant organism). There is no documentation from Z2 included in the H&P to address R2's diabetes at all or if R2's medications at that rime were reviewed. A Nurses Note, dated 3/02/2015 at 5:00 PM, written by E7, LPN documents speaking with Z2 to clarify R2's medications and status. No orders for insulin or daily glucometer checks were documented as received at that time. On 3/24/2105, at 4:20 PM, E7 confirmed she faxed R2's medication orders to the pharmacy and to Z2 on 3/02/2015. E7 stated, "Me personally, I don't work with (R2) on a regular basis, so when the transfer papers came from the hospital, I didn't question them. I didn't know she was diabetic. I have been here 7 months and never gave her insulin." The Nurses Note For R2, dated 3/15/2015 at 5:30 PM, written by E5, LPN, documents, "Check (glucometer) reading 'HI', above 600 (normal =70 to 99). Called (Z8, Physician) at 5:35 PM. New order to send to ER (emergency room ) for further evaluation. Called (ambulance) at 5:40 (PM) and (ambulance) arrived at 5:43 (PM). Called (local hospital) to give report. Family her with resident and aware. Left via stretcher at 6:00 PM." The Nurses Note for R2, dated 3/16/2015 at 6:30 AM, written by E14, LPN documents, "admitted with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]." The diabetes.org website documents, in part, "Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic Nonketoti[DIAGNOSES REDACTED], or HHNS, can happen to people with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes that is not being controlled properly, but it occurs more often in people with type 2. If HHNS continues, the severe dehydration will lead to [MEDICAL CONDITION], coma and eventually death. Warning Signs: blood sugar level over 600 mg/dl (milligrams per deciliter), dry parched mouth, extreme thirst, high fever, sleepiness or confusion, loss of vision, hallucinations, weakness on one side of the body." On 3/25/2105 at 1:15 PM, E5, LPN reported she works PRN at the Facility, but had checked R2's blood glucose levels before and had given her [MEDICATION NAME] insulin. E5 reported when she entered R2's room on 3/15/2015, she was carrying the glucometer machine to check R2's blood glucose as she had done previously. E5 reported Z7, family member was with R2 and asked her what her previous blood sugar levels had been. E5 reported when she left the room to check R2's chart, she discovered there was no PO for daily blood sugar levels or insulin ordered for R2. E5 reported Z7 then asked her to check R2's blood glucose level and the level was over 600. E5 reported she called Z2, but Z8 responded with an order to send R2 to the hospital. E5 reported she called the local hospital with a report of R2's vital signs and blood glucose level and sent R2 by ambulance to the hospital. The H&P for R22 from the local hospital, dated 3/15/2105, documents, in part, "Suspect 2/2 lack of insulin for two weeks, and dehydration. Glucose 737-high. Potassium-2.5 (normal=3.5-5.0) [MEDICAL CONDITION] hyperosmolar state due to lack of insulin for two weeks, and inability to increase fluid intake. Dehydration with acute kidney injury likely due to this. Marked [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Hydration with normal saline at 250 ml's per hour. Control glucose levels with IV (intravenous) insulin drip. Supplemental potassium via IV route. Cardiac monitoring until potassium level better." On 3/26/2105, at 8:00 AM, Z7 reported when she visited R2 on 3/15/2105 she felt R2 "did not look right." Z7 reported R2 was sleeping a lot. Z7 reported, "Normally at her best, she would open her eyes and look at you. I asked (E5), the nurse to check her meds (medications) for me, and (E5) told me (R2) hadn't gotten any insulin from 3/01 through 3/15/2015. She has been hospitalized three times since she has been at the facility." Z7 reported R2 has been diabetic for some time. On 3/24/2105 at 3:15 PM, Z2 stated, "I see quite a few patients. I would assume the nurses would look through the old charts to see what they (residents) are on. This is a significant medication error by the hospital and the nursing home. With the number of hires and fires, I don't know how they would remember what a patient takes. It should be a standard to look through the old orders. They shouldn't clean out the old history and progress notes. They have a lot of issues with documentation at the facility. I am glad you (the Department) are here. It is quite frustrating and risky for patient's because of it. It is basic nursing to make sure diabetic residents are on the right regimen." On 3/25/2105 at 1:38 PM, E13, LPN reported R2 is a known diabetic since admission. E13 stated, "I have given her insulin and done glucometer checks. Recently when (R2) returned from the hospital, she had no insulin orders or orders for a glucometer. It never crossed my mind to wander. I get moved around a lot." On 3/25/2015, at 1:05 PM, Z5, Pharmacist reported he normally does the monthly medication reviews for the facility, but has been having Z3, Pharmacist doing them for the facility in March . Z5 stated, "I would normally look at the hospital discharge orders as well as the current medications, and the meds they were on prior to leaving the facility." Z5 reported he was unaware of any problems related to the pharmacy that the Facility was having or had had in the past. On 3/25/2105 at 10:40 AM, Z3 was asked if he routinely monitors the medications for resident with Type II Diabetes Mellitus. Z3 stated, "I just don't know. For me, when I would look at that and knew a patient went into the hospital with a change in condition and came back with no order for insulin, I would think the hospital took them off the insulin or diabetic meds." Z3 reported Z5 usually does the monthly pharmacy reviews for the Facility, but Z3 was filling in for March 2015. On 3/20/2015, at 1:40 PM, E1, Administrator stated, "We had a resident (R2) in the hospital who just came back. The hospital paperwork addressed the issue that we weren't giving her insulin. (E3, Assistant Director of Nursing) checked that out. What happened was when (R2) was discharged from the hospital, they failed to give discharge orders for insulin. I don't know how long she went without insulin." On 3/25/2015, at 2:43 PM, E11, LPN reported she works the same hall where R2 resides and was aware R2 was diabetic. E11 stated, "She is non responsive, a [DEVICE] (gastrostomy tube) and is diabetic. I have given her insulin before. The last time she was readmitted , I didn't give her insulin. I didn't question it. Typically, I would question if they are sent out with an insulin order and came back without one. I would check it out." On 3/24/2105 at 12:00 PM, R2 was in bed with a tracheotomy collar with tubing attached to a liquid oxygen tank. R2 had an indwelling urinary catheter and was receiving an enteral feeding through a gastrostomy tube, via a mechanical pump. R2 was non responsive to verbal stimuli, but would periodically open her eyes with no visual tracking of a voice or sound. E4, LPN was preparing to administer medication via the gastrostomy tube. E4 reported she is the nurse who often takes care of R2. E4 was asked if R2 had always received insulin, and E4 stated, "I can't say she was always on insulin before. I don't know really." R2's Care Plan, dated 12/29/2014 and updated 3/06/2015 documents, in part, "(R2) requires PROM (passive range of motion) as evidenced by the following limitations and potential contributing [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]." The revised Care Plan, dated 3/06/2105, documents, in part, (R2) requires tube feedings to maintain daily nutritional requirements and weight and receives diuretic medication daily. (R2) has [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]." Interventions include; "Monitor/document/report to MD (medical doctor) PRN signs and symptoms of [MEDICAL CONDITION]: increased thirst and appetite, frequent urination, weight loss, fatigue, dry skin, poor wound healing, muscle cramps, abdominal pain, Kussmaul breathing, [MEDICATION NAME] breath (smells fruity) stupor, coma." On 3/24/2015 at 2:55 PM, E9, Corporate Registered Nurse (RN) was asked why R2 had no intake and output (I&O) records for March 2015 to monitor her urinary output for increased or decreased output as a symptom of hyper or [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. E9 stated, "One wasn't restarted when she came back from the hospital." No I&O records were documented in R2's clinical record. The Facility's Consultant Pharmacy Services Provider Agreement, updated 1/27/2104, documents in part, "The Consultant Pharmacist, or adjunctive licensed pharmacy personnel under the control of the Consultant Pharmacist provides consultant pharmacist services, including but not limited to the following: Reviewing the medication regimen of each resident at least monthly, utilizing federally mandated standards of care in addition to (company's name) applicable standards, and documenting the review and finding in the resident's medical record. Participating in the preparation of the resident care plan for each new resident or current resident with a change of status by reviewing the following information in collaboration with the operational pharmacist. The following examples of information may be reviewed to determine any potential problems related to the medication therapy of the resident, including the presence of a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. if this is the reason for the assessment." B. Based on record review and interview, the Facility failed to adequately assess for pain, monitor the effectiveness of pain medication and provide narcotic pain medication when necessary for one of four residents (R1) reviewed for pain in the sample of 4. Findings include: Nurses notes document R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] at 5:28 PM. The Daily Skilled Nurses Notes, dated 3/9/15, document R1 being alert, oriented to person, place and time with unclear speech and voicing no pain at the time. Admitting orders included [MEDICATION NAME] 5/325 1 tab via [DEVICE] every 4 hours as needed, and Tylenol 650 mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. The Pain Assessment, dated 3/9/15, signed by E5, LPN, is incomplete. The Assessment failed to document R1's description of pain, intensity, duration, effectiveness of medication, and what increases pain. It documents R1 had no pain at the time of the assessment. The section for General information has Decubitus Ulcer Back written in form the resident describing cause of pain and checks resident does not verbalize pain. Under "Relief of Pain," medication is checked as what relieves pain, no adverse consequences of interventions is checked, and resident's acceptable pain level is documented as a "3." The Assessment lists the PRN [MEDICATION NAME]/APAP ([MEDICATION NAME]) 5/325 1-2 tabs every 4 hours PRN which directly conflicts with the admitting order that clearly documents one tab every 4 hours as needed not 2. The Assessment's conclusion is also blank. The Controlled Drug Receipt /Record/Disposition Form documents [MEDICATION NAME] 30 tabs were received on 3/10/15, the day after admission, with the first dose given at 2:30 PM on 3/10/15. This was 21 hours after R1's admission to the Facility. In addition, R1's Medication Administration Record [REDACTED]. R1's March 2015 MAR indicated [REDACTED]. The Controlled Drug Form documents R1 was given two tabs of [MEDICATION NAME], instead of the ordered one tab, on 3/12/15 and three times on 3/16/15 at midnight, 6 AM and 10 AM. The Controlled Drug Form also documents that the 10 AM dose was the last available [MEDICATION NAME]. Later that same day, 3/16/15 at 1 PM, the Nurses Notes document that R1 was "very anxious this shift et (and) constantly requesting [MEDICATION NAME] even after given." The Nurses Notes fail to consistently and routinely assessed R1 for pain management even though he was taking [MEDICATION NAME] regularly when it was available. On 3/17/15 at 2 AM, R1's Nurses Notes document "upset he is out of [MEDICATION NAME]. This nurse spoke c (with) pharmacy + he is out of refills. Pharmacy states will fax notification for Dr." Again, no pain intensity and no assessment is documented. At 10:35 AM, the Nurses Notes document R1 "was given Tylenol for complaints of pain" and they are "waiting for script (prescription)." The March 2015 MAR indicated [REDACTED]. The Nurse's Medication Notes documents "3/17 10 AM Tylenol 650 gen (general) pain," but no pain intensity assessment (scale information) or response documented. At 7:30 PM on 3/17/15, R1 was sent to the emergency room following a chest x-ray and admitted with [MEDICAL CONDITION] and skin ulcer. The Controlled Drug Form, dated 3/17/15, documents the Facility received 60 [MEDICATION NAME] at 11 PM on 3/17/15 after R1 left the Facility. On 3/25/15 at 2 PM, Z6 stated R1 informed her that he did not have the [MEDICATION NAME] available until the second day of his stay. Z6 also said R1 described the pain on the last two days before discharge as a "8" on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst. R1 told Z6 that the Facility did give him Tylenol, but that he gets no relief from Tylenol. Z6 stated E1 Administrator was aware of the facility not getting the [MEDICATION NAME] timely upon admission and voiced to Z6 that it was unacceptable. On 3/25/15 at 1:15 PM, E5, LPN, stated she remembered R1 and that she had admitted him to the Facility. E5 described R1 as very intelligent, had unclear speech but could make all his needs known by writing them either on a pad of paper or with his communication board. E5 stated his communication board did not work the first night he was here, but did after that. E5 stated R1 denied pain the first night when she admitted him. On 3/24/15 at 3:26 PM, Z2, Medical Director stated R1 had a radical throat surgery and would need the [MEDICATION NAME] for pain management. Z2 described R1 as alert/oriented times three being fully capable of making his needs known. Z2 stated that having the medication unavailable as ordered was a significant error given R1's [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The Facility's Pain Management Policy, revised 2015, documents the purpose of the policy is to "help the staff identify pain in the resident, and to develop interventions that are consistent with the resident's goals and needs and that address the underlying causes of pain." The policy documents that pain management is a multidisciplinary care process that includes the following "a) assessing potential for pain, b) effectively recognizing the presence of pain, c) developing and implementing approaches to pain management, d) identifying and using different strategies for pain management, and e) modifying approaches as necessary." The policy continues to document that "During PRN pain medication administration, at a minimum, the location and intensity characteristics are to be gathered prior to administration of the as needed pain medication."

Inspection of March 19, 2015

F323K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

Based on observation, record review and interview the facility failed to supervise wandering residents with poor safety awareness who have access to an unsafe areas for five of five residents (R1, R11, R12, R13, R14) reviewed for wandering behaviors in the sample of 19. This failure resulted in R1 wandering through a stairway door and falling down the stairs to her death. This failure resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. While the immediacy was removed on [DATE], the facility remains out of compliance at Severity Level 2 as the facility continues to educate staff and evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of the Wandering Resident and Elopement policies and procedures. Findings include: On [DATE], at 5:30 AM, the door to the stairwell on ,[DATE] hallway was unlocked but alarmed with a squelch-type alarm. The physician's orders [REDACTED]. The Minimum Data Set ((MDS) dated [DATE], documents R1 is severely impaired with cognition, is non ambulatory, requires extensive assistance of 2 staff for transfers and bed mobility, has no limitations to both upper and lower extremities and uses a wheelchair. The current MDS documents R1 has unsteady sitting and standing balance. The Fall Risk Assessment, dated [DATE], documents R1 is chair bound with a device to prevent falls, is disoriented X 3 (person, place, time) at all times and is a moderate risk for falls. The Elopement Risk Assessment Form, dated [DATE], documents R1 is at risk for elopement from the facility. The Incident/Accident Report, dated [DATE] at 6:25 AM, documents R1 was confused and had a self releasing seatbelt while seated in a wheelchair.The Incident/Accident Report further documents R1 was observed on the landing of the stairwell and was unresponsive. The Report fails to document the staff involved in the accident or what had happened. The Nurses Note for R1, dated [DATE] at 6:30 AM, documents, "Summoned to 400 hall, nurse stated resident (R1) was in the stairwell. Noted resident face down with wheelchair on the top of resident. Non responsive to verbal and tactile stimuli, nail bed cyanotic, lips blue-911 (emergency response) in route." The Prehospital Care Report Summary for R1 from Z3, Paramedic, dated [DATE], documents a call from the facility was received on [DATE] at 6:32 AM, and the ambulance was on the scene at 6:35 AM. The Report Summary documents, in part, "Disposition: Dead prior to arrival. Unwitnessed cardiac arrest/trauma. Breathing: Apneic, absent lung sounds, pale, skin temperature-cool, capillary refill: absent. Left eye-non reactive, right eye-nonreactive, unconscious. EMS (emergency medical service) noted that the patient (R1) was asystole (state of no cardiac electrical activity/flatline, no blood flow) with a very occasional beat, EMS confirmed no pulse times 3. The nursing staff stated they saw the patient (R1) a little before 6:00 AM, and she was asleep in her wheelchair at the nurses station. The staff stated that after they did not find (R1) and around 6:30 AM, they found patient lying prone on a platform down a flight of about ,[DATE] stairs with a small puddle of blood around her head, and her wheelchair on top of her. Staff stated they called EMS right away. EMS noted upon arrival, the wheelchair was taken off (R1). EMS noted the patient was lying on her side and slightly rolled onto her back, with a towel over her forehead. EMS noted there was a large gash in her head. The patient was pale, cool and dry, had bruising around the eyes, with no pulse, was not breathing. The nursing staff stated (R1) was a DNR (do not resuscitate) and presented EMS with papers. EMS notified dispatch and notified the nurses they need to call the coroner. (R1) was left with the nursing home." On [DATE] at 12:10 PM, the facility's video/view of dining room north exit, dated [DATE], was observed. On [DATE] at 5:49 AM, R1 is seen leaving the dining room. The video/view of vending machine elevator, common area adjacent to the stairwell entry door was observed for [DATE]. On [DATE] at 5:56 AM, R1 is seen in a wheelchair facing the vending machines. At 5:58 AM, 6:02 AM and 6:07 AM, R1 remains in the vending area. On [DATE] at 6:08 AM, R1 is seen turning toward the stairway/hallway. At this time, the camera loses sight of R1. From 6:08 AM, R4, E12, Certified Nurses Aide (CNA), and R5 enters and exits the elevator with R1 not in sight of the camera. On [DATE] at 6:16 AM, R5 exits the elevator and walks toward the stairwell, then briefly goes out of view of the camera. At 6:37 AM, numerous facility staff are seen going to the stairwell, and then are out of the camera's view. Numerous attempts to contact E8, CNA by telephone on [DATE] at 10:48 AM, 2:49 PM and on [DATE], at 12:40 PM were unsuccessful. The written and signed statement for E8 dated [DATE] documents, in part, "I came in side entrance and found (R1). I felt for a pulse. I couldn't get one. I jumped over (R1) and ran to the door and screamed for a nurse. (R1) was face down. We were trying to get the wheelchair off her. A nurse gave me scissors to cut her seatbelt. We took the chair off and rolled her over. (E9, Registered Nurse/RN) and (E10, Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) came to help. I layed down next to (R1) to see if I could get a pulse. Nurses came down the elevator to get to us. When I pushed the door to call for the nurse, the alarm sounded. It was working." On [DATE] at 7:00 AM, E9 reported she worked the midnight shift of [DATE]. E9 stated, "I saw (R1) sitting in the hallway between the lobby doors and ,[DATE] hall with a seat belt alarm on about 5:50 AM. I was coming off of 400 hall to pass med's (medications) on 300 hall about 6:20 AM and a day aide (E8) came in and yelled, 'I need a nurse. Call 911!' I saw (R1) lying on the landing face first with seatbelt on and no alarm sounding. I tried to get the seatbelt off, but couldn't. I yelled then to go get scissors. (E8) cut the seatbelt, removed it and pulled the wheelchair out of the way. I rolled her (R1) over and didn't get a pulse. I put a hand on her chest. No respirations, no pulse, no rise of the chest visually. Both hands were cyanotic. Blood was coming out of her mouth. Blood was on the left side of (R1's) forehead. I wiped all the blood off her face. Someone else called the coroner, but I took the return call. (E10) was actually the nurse assigned to (R1). Paramedics came and put an EKG (electrocardiogram) monitor on her. I came upstairs to see if I could help. E11, CNA stayed with (R1). I took the call back for the coroner . He asked who the deceased was. I gave him her name, birthday and next of kin, [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. That was it. I don't remember his name. I just told him what he asked." On [DATE], at 12:55 PM, E10, LPN stated, "I was paged to the 400 hall. The nurse (E9) said (R1) fell down the stairs. Then I just went to the stairwell. (R1) was on the landing after the first set of steps, face down with the wheelchair on top of her. The alarm chimed when I opened the (stairway) door. At that time, I asked if I need to call 911. I was told it was already done. I checked (R1's) pulse-no pulse. I got the wheelchair off her and yelled for scissors. Someone pushed the belt to get it off her. The chair was removed to get access better. It was 6:30 AM, the change of shift. The ambulance arrived around 6:45 AM. They assessed (R1) with no vital signs and pronounced her expired. The ambulance staff called the coroner. They said they have to. I assumed they called the coroner. I called the family member and (Z2), Physician and notified the exchange. (Z2) called right back. I told him (Z2) it was an unfortunate incident and was asked to fax the H & P (history and physical) and face sheet. I gave (R1) medication that morning. (R1) is not known to be an elopement risk, but she did wander everywhere with the wheelchair with a seatbelt, usually with her feet. There were no problems with the chime alarm. I used that stairway during the night. It worked. The chime lasts seconds-you can hear the doorbell (chime)from the nurses station." On [DATE], at 12:10 PM, E15, LPN reported she had worked the night shift of [DATE]. E15 stated, "I seen (R1) when (E8) came up and said someone fell down the stairs. (E9) got there before me. I was busy with another resident who was in respiratory distress. The new shift was coming in. I took the steps, looked down to the landing, then called 911, a male dispatcher. I told them there was an accident, that someone fell down the stairs, and we need an ambulance. I asked if (R1) was still with us and was told she was unconscious. I hadn't seen (R1) that night. The last time I saw (R1) was a week ago. (R1) wanders around the facility in a wheelchair." On [DATE] at 11:00 AM, E11, CNA reported she was working the night shift of [DATE], and came from another resident's room when she saw staff running around. E11 reported she heard (E25), CNA state R1 had fallen down the stairs. E11 stated, "I went to the stairwell door to see and at that moment staff was bringing up the wheelchair. (E9) and someone else was there. I grabbed the wheelchair and helped pull it up the stairs. I saw (R1) rolled onto her back face up. (E10) was there assessing her and waiting for paramedics. (R1) had no response or respirations. A big gash was on the right aside of the forehead. Blood, a medium amount was there. (R1) might have had bruising. The paramedics got there around 6:25 AM. They hooked (R1) to a EKG to see if there was a heart rate and check her pulse. So then they said she was dead. The paramedics told me to stay with the body until the coroner gets there." E11 reported R1 propels herself in the wheelchair using her feet. E11 reported R1 is confused and very hard of hearing, but alert at times. E11 reported she did not hear the stairway door chime that morning. E11 stated, "I have heard it go off before-ding dong, and at other times it is a shrill sound. I usually use the elevator." On [DATE] at 12:20 PM, E14, Maintenance Director reported that prior to R1's fall, the alarm to the stairway door was set to chime. E14 reported he checks the door alarms every morning after he arrives at 8:00 AM. E14 reported the last time he had checked the stairway door alarm prior to the fall was the morning of [DATE]. E14 reported he arrived at the facility for work on [DATE] at 6:45 AM and went to the employees entrance downstairs on the 500 hall. E14 reported usually using the stairs to go upstairs, but someone told him the morning of [DATE] he couldn't use the stairs. E14 reported he checked the door alarm to the stairs after the accident at approximately 1:00 PM, and the alarm chimed. E14 reported the chime alarm "Ding-dongs" until the door automatically closes. E14 stated, "If no staff is located at the nurses station, it would depend on how far down the hall you are if you could here it." E14 reported R1 was known to be a wanderer. E14 reported usually only the employees use the stairs, and if a resident uses the stairs a staff member must accompany them for safety. On [DATE], at 8:50 AM E3, Vice President of Operations stated, "The alarm that was on the stairway door prior to [DATE] sound was different. It went ding dong and stopped as soon as you went through the door. The alarm was functioning when (R1) went down. (E7), CNA checked on (R1) prior to the accident. (R1) liked to sit in front of the vending machine. E7 said he rubbed her back. We have (R1) going into the vending area on tape. You see (E7) doing rounds. He's a night shift CNA. The stair door to the ,[DATE] hall only sounded once, then stopped." E3 reported R1 would wander throughout the facility in her wheelchair. On [DATE] at 10:00 AM, R5 was asked if she had witnessed R1 go through the door to the stairwell, or if she had heard an alarm sound on [DATE] between 6:15 AM and 6:20 AM. R5 refused to respond. On [DATE] the other residents, R4 and R7 who were viewed in the video of the vending, elevator and stairwell area were interviewed. Both R4 and R7 reported they did not see R1 or knew of R1's accident the morning of [DATE]. On [DATE] at 1:20 PM, Z1, Deputy Coroner reported the preliminary report of the cause of R1's death is blunt force trauma to the head and possibly a broken back. Z1 reported an autopsy will be performed on R1. Z1 reported if the facility calls 911, the call goes straight to the local police department dispatcher. Z1 reported the police would normally respond, but the information provided by E9 wasn't given properly, so only an ambulance responded. On [DATE] at 2:05 PM, Z2, Physician and the facility Medical Director reported R1's fall down the stairs could have caused her death. Z2 stated, "I was livid this happened." R1's Care Plan, dated [DATE] documents, in part, "(R1) is an elopement risk/wanderer. Resident wanders aimlessly, impaired safety awareness. Disoriented to place. Per Elopement Risk Assessment, (R1) is at risk for leaving facility unattended." Interventions documented include; Apply (attached safety monitor that alerts staff a resident has left the building) [DATE]. Check placement and function per policy. Distract resident from wandering by offering pleasant diversions, structured activities, food, conversation, television. Identify patterns of wandering: Is wandering purposeful, aimless, or escapist? Is resident looking for something? Does it indicate the need for more exercise? Intervene as appropriate. Monitor every 15 minutes until (attached safety alarm) obtained and then RN (as needed). R1's Care Plan revised on [DATE] documents, in part, (R1) is at risk for falls related to gait/balance problems. (R1) maintains bad posture while in chair. R1 slouches and slides forward in chair. (R1) wears a seatbelt for security and to remind her to push herself back. (R1) is able to release seatbelt herself." R1's Care Plan also documents she has impaired cognitive function/dementia with an intervention that includes; Needs assistance with all decision making. 2. On [DATE] at 2:00 PM, E1, Administrator reported and provided documentation that R11 through R14 have poor safety awareness and have the potential to wander to the stairwell. Throughout the survey R11, R12, R13, and R14 were observed wandering around the facility propelling themselves in wheelchairs. R11's Elopement/Wandering Risk Assessment, dated [DATE] documents R11 ambulates independently with or without the use of an assistive device, including a wheelchair, and is cognitively impaired with poor decision making skills.

F314K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

Based on interviews, observations and record review, the facility failed to development a preventative plan for pressure ulcers, identify, assess, monitor and treat pressure ulcers in a timely manner for 4 of 4 residents (R5, R7, R8 and R10) reviewed for pressure ulcers in a sample of 13. This failure resulted in R5 developing facility acquired unstageable pressure ulcer to her left heel, a Stage II pressure ulcer to her left ear and and an unstageable pressure ulcer to her coccyx. R5's pressure ulcer on her ear deteriorated to a Stage IV. This failure resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy which was identified to have begun on 1/28/15. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 2/7/15, the facility remains out of compliance at Severity Level 2 as the facility continues to educate staff and update the staff on Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Treatment policies and procedures. Findings include: 1. R5's January 2015, Physician order [REDACTED]. R5's BRADEN SCALE - For Predicting Pressure Sore Risk of 1/8/15 documents a score of 11 which is high risk and on 1/22/15 a score of 10 which is high risk. R5's Admission Resident - Data Collection report of 1/8/15 documents R5 has a reddened coccyx with skin intact. There is no other documentation of skin breakdown. R5's undated Interim Plan of Care documents R5 requires total care and has a reddened coccyx. R5's Care Plan approach is to keep R5 clean, dry and safe. R5's Comprehensive Admission Skin Assessment of 1/8/15 documents reddened area on the coccyx. The Assessment documents "Pressure ulcer prevention. Keep pt (patient) clean & dry, q (every 2 hours)." There are no other prevention interventions for pressure ulcers identified on the assessment. The TAR documents R5 was admitted on [DATE] and R5 was to have weekly skin assessment. R5's January 2015 Treatment Administration Record (TAR) documents the 1/17/15 Weekly Skin Assessment was completed and R5's skin was warm, dry and color fair. No [MEDICAL CONDITION]. The Assessment documented R5 had contractures to bilateral hands and foot drop to bilateral feet. No areas of concern were noted. Note of 1/28/15 documents "Skin warm dry, open areas noted on coccyx and left and right buttock, treatment ordered." The TAR documents skin checks were only done on 1/17/15 and 1/28/15 in the month of January. R5's WOUND CARE SPECIALIST INITIAL EVALUATION done by Z1, Wound Doctor, dated 1/28/15 documents the following pressure sores: 1. An unstageable DTI (Deep Tissue Injury) to the left heel measuring 3 centimeters (cm) x (by) 3 cm with recommendation for heel boot to be worn in bed and chair to off-load wound, float heels in bed and off-load wound. 2. Stage 2 pressure ulcer to the left ear measuring .5 cm x .5 cm x .1 cm with light sero sanguineous drainage. Dressing: Dry Protective Dressing - once Daily and PRN (as needed). Off-load wound. 3. Unstageable (Due to Necrosis) of the coccyx measuring 4 cm x 2 cm with depth not measurable. Light serous exudate. Noted as reddened area upon admission. Dressing: Santyl - Twice daily and PRN. Dry Protective Dressing twice daily and prn. Antifungal - twice daily and PRN. Off load wound, reposition per facility protocol. 4. Z1 ordered a pre-[MEDICATION NAME] for R5. The results of the pre [MEDICATION NAME] of 1/30/15 documents Pre-[MEDICATION NAME] of 17.5 mg/dl (milligrams)/dl (deciliter) with normal being (16-45). On 1/30/2015 at approximately 3:00 PM, R5's TAR was copied and did not have documentation on the TAR of the above pressure ulcers and treatment orders. On 1/30/15 at 11:17 AM, E3, Licensed Practical Nurse, LPN, completed a skin check while R5 was in bed. R5 had heel protectors on her feet but feet were not off loaded from the mattress. There was a purple pressure sore larger than an inch on her left foot. R5 had an open pressure sore with yellow center on her coccyx. R5 did not have a dressing on her coccyx and she had feces at the anal area. R5 had a scab and dried blood on her outer left ear that did not have a dressing. R5's right hand had red opened areas on her 1st finger and third finger and a scab on her thumb. At 11:20PM, E6 and E8, Certified Nurse's Assistants, CNA's, stated they were the CNA's that were caring for R5. They stated they had last given care to R5 at 8:00 AM and R5 did not have any dressing on her ear or coccyx at that time. There was no dressing in R5's bed or under the bed or in the surrounding area. E8 gave R5 incontinent care and using the same soiled gloves put barrier cream on R5's buttocks and coccyx. An observation was made with E1, Administrator, on 1/30/2015 at 2:30 PM. R5 was in bed and still had no dressing on her coccyx/buttock area or ear. R5 did have heel protectors on but her heels were not floated. There was no dressing on R5's ear and E1 was informed of the areas on R5's right hand. At 2:45 PM, E1 stated that they had found R5's bandage for her left ear in her bed but staff were not taping on the bandage and she didn't know why. On 2/4/2015, at 9:45 AM R5 was in bed. Skin check with E1 showed R5 did not have a dressing on her left ear and there was blood on her pillow case. E1 did not have heels floated. E1 did have a bandage over her buttocks and coccyx area and was incontinent of a large amount of feces. The bandage did not have a time or date documented as to when it was applied. On 2/4/15 at approximately 10:00 AM, E2, Director of Nursing (DON), was asked for a copy of R5's January TAR. The TAR documented an order for [REDACTED]. The TAR documents "Apply Skin Prep to left heel BID" with documentation that it was applied only one day, 1/29, but not applied on 1/28/15, 1/30/15 or 1/31/15. There was nothing on the TAR about floating the heels. The TAR showed order of 1/28/15 to apply dry dressing to the left ear every day and PRN with no documentation that this was being done. There is no documentation on the TAR for February 2015 that the above treatments were being done. Z1's WOUND CARE SPECIALIST EVALUATION done on 2/4/15 documents that R5's pressure ulcer on her left ear had increased in size to "1 cm x .5 cm x .1 cm and is a stage 4 with surgical excisional debridement of muscle. Continue dry protective dressing once daily and PRN. Mupirocin once daily and PRN. Off-load wound." Z1 stated on 2/4/15 at 11:35 AM, R5's wounds on her coccyx, ears and heel is from pressure and she would expect the dressings to be on. Z1 stated that the dressing on R5's ear should be taped. The pressure sore is chronic and down to the cartilage. Z1 stated R5 favors laying on her left ear and needs to be kept off the ear or it won't heel. Z1 stated she is ordering special ear protectors for R5. On 2/6/2015, at 2:20 PM, an interview was conducted with E10, Assistant Director of Nurses/Wound Nurse. E10 confirmed R5's TAR did not have any documented orders/ treatments for R5's ear or coccyx until 2/4/2015. E10 stated that the floor nurses would not know to do the treatments unless the orders were on the TAR. E10 stated if the treatments on the TAR are not initialed as completed then the treatment was not completed. E10 stated it is Nursing Standard of Practice to document/initial the TAR after completing a treatment. On 2/6/2015, at 2:30 PM, an interview was conducted with E3. E3 stated the nurses typically look at the TAR to see if a resident has a treatment. E3 stated once the treatment is complete, the nurse would initial the date and time the treatment was competed on the TAR. E3 stated if a physician gives an order for [REDACTED]. When questioned if a signature is missing on a TAR, E3 responded "It's either you forgot to sign it or you didn't do it." On 2/6/2015, at 2:45 PM, an interview was conducted with E12, Corporate Nurse. E12 stated the TARS should reflect the treatment orders for each residents. E12 stated "That's how you know." E12 stated if nurse's do not initial the TAR then you can assume the treatment was not done. R5's Care Plan of 1/22/15 and revised on 2/3/15 does not address R5's Pressure Ulcers. The Care Plan does not address R5's risks for pressure ulcers and interventions to aide in healing existing pressure sores or the prevention of developing new pressure ulcers. The Facility's Decubitus Care/Pressure Area Policy, reviewed January 2014, documents "To ensure a proper treatment program has been instituted and is being closerly monitored to promote the healing of any pressure ulcer, once identified." The Policy documents "1) The pressure area will be assessed and documented." The Policy documents "3) Notify the physician for treatment orders. The physician's orders [REDACTED]. The order must have specific frequencies; vi) Initiate physician order [REDACTED]. 2. The MDS dated [DATE] identifies R10 as totally dependent on staff for all activities of daily living. The MDS documents [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. R10's POS documents R10 has a [MEDICAL CONDITION] and gastrostomy tube. The Braden Scale dated 1/9/15 identifies R10 at high risk for pressure ulcer development. The Braden Scale dated 12/29/14 identifies R10 as high risk for pressure ulcers. R10's laboratory results dated [DATE] reflects normal Protein 6.3 (Normal 6-8.2) and [MEDICATION NAME] 3.5 (Normal 3.5-5,5) and Pre-[MEDICATION NAME] dated 2/5/15 was also normal at 22 (normal 16-45.) The Weekly Pressure Ulcer Record dated 12/10/14 identifies R10 as having multiple pressure ulcers at that time and the Weekly skin reports also document a pressure ulcer on left heel. Treatment orders are present on the POS January and February 2015 for all three areas. The care plan dated 12/29/14 does not include a prevention plan nor a treatment plan for R10's pressure ulcers. R10's weekly wound documentation dated 12/10/14 identify it as the first evaluation by Z1 for R10's Elbow Ulcer. Measurements were "3.5 cm x 2.5 cm x 1cm stage 3 duration less than 6 days, undermining 1cm at 9 o'clock, moderate Serous exudate, 5% necrosis and 95% granulation." Weekly Skin Reports dated 12/17/14 and 12/24/14 show minimal change with Z1 documenting the area as "healing". Recommendation for all visits was to off load. On 1/14/15, R10's weekly wound report for the elbow ulcer continues to document it as a stage 3 with 100% granulation with the area measuring 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm x 1 cm. Weekly report narrative, dated 1/21/15, written by Z1 documents that R10's elbow pressure ulcer has deteriorated due to infection, wound not adequately off-loaded, measurements were 4 cm x 3 cm x1 cm, wound progress "deteriorated". The Weekly wound care notes, dated 1/28/15, by Z1 document the same measurements as before but indicates there is moderate purulent exudate with the elbow wound, 30% necrotic tissue. The report documents a surgical excisional debridement of the subcuteaneous tissue was done. On 2/4/15, Z1 documented R10's elbow pressure ulcer was stage IV with no other changes. On 1/30/15 at 10:00 AM, R10 was laying in bed on her back with her elbows resting on wedge cushions under both elbows. R10's knees were drawn up in contractures and her arms were pulled inward. At 10:30 AM, 11:05 AM, 11:35 AM, 12:00 PM, 12:30 PM and 1:00 PM, R10 remained in the same position with the head of the bed elevated until 1:30 PM. At 1:35 PM, a skin check was done with E3 LPN and E6,CNA. R10 was laying on her back, knees and arms contracted, with her left elbow resting directly on the wedge cushion to her left side. R10's elbow dressing was loose and saturated with a blood tinged drainage which had saturated the incontinent pad under R10's elbow as well. R10 had a incontinent brief under her which had smears of dried bowel movement on it along with a large area of urine which E6 CNA identified as urine from her leaking catheter. E6 stated she had been at 10:00 AM to change R10's position. R10 had no protective devices on her feet which layed directly on the mattress. On 2/5/15 at 10:30 AM, R10 was laying on her back with wedge cushions at both elbows. Her legs were laying to the right side.

The dressing was dated 2/4/14. E10, Assistant Director of Nurses/Wound cleansed the wound, applied Alginate with Santyl after applying sureprep to the wound edge. She then applied the dressing and tucked the wedge cushion under R10's arm only to have it pop back out. E10 told E17, CNA, that R10's arm needs to be off the wedge and "off loaded." E10 also stated R10 needed to have EZ boots on which were in the laundry. As E10 did the treatments, R10's left heel ulcer did not have a dressing on and was laying directly on the bedsheet. E17 stated that R10's heel did not have a dressing on it when she turned R10 at 8:00 AM that morning. E10 cleansed the heel wound with wound cleanser then laid the heel back on the sheet before she applied the Alginate and Santyl dressing. E10 directed E17 to inform the nurse when she notices a dressing not on a wound. Wound documentation of R10's left heel documents that it was first identified on 12/10/14 as a deep tissue ulcer by Z1 with the plan of treatment to include skin prep and EZ boot to be worn in bed and chair to off-load wound, float heels in bed, off-load wound. Z1's weekly notes documented on 12/17/14 and 12/21/14 document no change in R10's heel ulcer. The note dated 1/14/15 and 1/21/15 identifies some improvement and on 1/28/15, no change noted. Recommendations continue to be off loading and float heels in bed. Wound documentation of the heel on 1/28/15 have measurements as 1.5 cm x 1 cm x 0.1 cm with 100% granulation, stage III, improvement noted. TARS for January and February 2015 document only one time daily for Skin Prep to the right heel and left lateral foot ordered BID (twice daily). The Elbow treatment of [REDACTED]. The TAR also includes a directive to check left elbow dressing every shift but is documented only twice daily. The left heel ulcer's treatment to cleanse with wound cleanser, apply hydrogel with a 4 x 4 dressing daily and PRN is documented daily with no PRN's initialed. On 2/11/15 at 10:15 AM, Z1 Wound Physician stated that R10's pressure ulcers on her heel and elbow were developed prior to her admission to the facility last fall. 3. The MDS dated [DATE] identifies R8 as being a [AGE] year old female readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The MDS documents R8 to be totally dependent on staff for all activities of daily living (ADL) and interviewable with Spanish being her primary language. The MDS also indicates she has a [MEDICAL CONDITION], gastrostomy, and urinary catheter. The care plan of 11/14/14 identifies R8's bowel incontinence and immobility as a risk factor in skin breakdown with the goal for R8 to be free from skin breakdown. Interventions include incontinent check every 2 hours and as required, wash, rinse, and dry, monitor and document intake and output per facility policy, and encourage her to use a bedpan for bowel movements and offer pan every two hours. The plan does not include turning/repositioning. According to the Nurse's Notes, R8 was transfered to the emergency room late on 1/29/15 and returned to the facility on [DATE]. R8's TAR's, Nurse's Notes, Weekly Pressure Ulcer reports all fail to identify any pressure ulcers on R8 upon discharge to the hospital on [DATE]. However, hospital history and physical notes dated 2/3/15 document R8 to have "pressure sores on her back and buttock areas" with the Skin/Wound assessment dated [DATE] "sacrum, gluteals, and coccyx are red, blanchable, and intact." There is no evidence the facility was aware of these areas prior to R8's discharge. On 2/4/15 at 8:45 AM , R8 was in bed with the head of the bed elevated as she ate breakfast unattended.

F323J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to follow their policy for use of mechanical lifts and 2 person transfers, and failed to ensure safety measures and proper transfer techniques were used during a mechanical lift transfer for 1 of 6 residents (R9) reviewed for safe transfers in the sample of 13. This failure resulted in R9's being improperly lifted and transferred, causing him to have his tracheotomy tube dislodged from his throat, suffer respiratory distress, become unresponsive and need emergency intubation and hospitalization . R9 is currently admitted to a local hospital and continues to be unresponsive. This resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy which was identified to have begun on 2/4/15. While the Immediacy was removed on 2/6/2015, the facility remains out of compliance at Severity Level 2 as the facility continues to; assess all residents for transfer needs; educate staff and provide inservice training on mechanical lift and 2 person transfers; evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of the facility policies and procedures; and initiate a system to assess, evaluate, monitor and reassess plans of care put into place to address individual transfer needs. Findings include: 1. R9's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documented diagnoses, in part, of Multiple Sclerosis, Nasogastric Feeding Tube, Tracheostomy and Ventilator Dependant. The MDS documented R9 has total dependence of two plus persons for physical assistance, mobility and transfer needs. R9 is assessed with [REDACTED]. R9's Nursing Note, dated 2/4/2015 at 2035 (8:35 PM), documented, in part, "Resident became anoxic when care was being given. CNA (E13, Certified Nursing Assistant) reported to respiratory that he had lost his tracheostomy tube at time of transfer." It was also documented that R9 was sent to a local emergency room and admitted to a local hospital with respiratory distress. On 2/5/15 at 9:30 AM, E2, Director of Nursing (DON), stated she had not been informed of the incident with R9 until this morning (2/5/15) when she arrived at work. E2, began to investigate the incident at around 7:45 AM, that E13 had lifted R9 by herself and caused R9's tracheostomy tube to be dislodged and was sent to the hospital. E2 stated E10, ADON was on call last night (2/4/15), and should have been called by staff, and an incident report started. On 2/5/15 at 10:00 AM, E10, ADON, stated "No staff had called her and she knew nothing about R9's being sent to the hospital last night." The Facility Incident/Accident Report dated 2/4/15, written by E15, Licensed Practical Nurse, documented "Went down to resident's room where he was being bagged (manually ventilated with Ambu bag) by RT (respiratory therapist) and another RT assisting trying to replace dislodged trach. (Z3, Physician) at bedside assisting and she and RT was able to replace trach. Resident was still cyanotic, bagging continued until he was placed back on Vent. O2 sats began to improve.

On 2/5/2015 at 11:55 AM, E1, Administrator, stated "It was the Facility's policy to use two person assistance when using the mechanical lifting device." E1, stated no incident report had been made regarding R9's dislodged trach tube. On 2/5/2015 at 11:10 AM, E13, Certified Nurses Aide, CNA, stated, "Last night, 2/4/2015, I put him (R9) from chair to bed. Yes, I did it by myself. He uses a (mechanical) lift . We are supposed to use 2 people when using the (mechanical) lift but last night we didn't have enough staff, so I used the (mechanical) lift by myself. His machine beeped so I got (E18, Respiratory Therapist). Yes, when the machine beeps it means a problem with his breathing and he did seem to have some problem breathing." On 2/5/2015 at 1:30 PM, Z4, Sitter for R9, stated that she was not present at time of R9's dislodged tracheostomy but "many times they (staff not identified) have transferred him by themselves (one staff only)." Z4 also stated R9 can only move his head and could not have pulled out his tracheostomy. On 2/5/2015 at 1:35 PM, R2 stated that she witnessed E13 transfer R9, by herself (only one staff), with a mechanical lift from chair to bed. R2 stated she witnessed R9's tracheostomy tube pulled out during the transfer after which E13 placed R9 on his back in his bed, with the mechanical lift sling under him, and left the room to get assistance. R2 stated R9's tracheostomy stoma was bleeding excessively, and there was blood all over the place, while he laid in bed. On 2/5/15 at 2:00 PM, in an additional interview with E 1 she stated "There are usually 3 CNA's assigned to the 300 hall, and 3 CNA's assigned to the 400 hall (6 total) on the evening shift. On 2/4/15 for the evening shift, only 4 CNA's had reported for duty and 1 CNA went home early. This left only 3 CNA's to cover both the 300 and 400 halls instead of the 6 usually scheduled on that side of the building." On 2/6/2015 at 2:20 PM, E18, Respiratory Therapist, stated on 2-4-2015 at 2025 (8:25 PM), E13, CNA, informed her that R9's machine was alarming. E18 stated that she entered R9's room and found him laying in bed with his tracheostomy out / dislodged, and a lot of blood at his stoma site. E18 stated R9 became cyanotic after which an staff began to ambu bag R9. R9's tracheostomy was re-inserted. E18 stated that "Prior to this event, R9's tracheostomy was securely attached with a collar and that his tracheostomy could not fall out from being rolled side to side and that it would have to be pulled out.". The Facility's "Lifting Machine, Using a Portable", policy and procedure, revised April 2007, documented, "The portable lift can be used by one nursing assistant if the resident can participate in the lifting procedures. If not, two (2) nursing assistants will be required to perform the procedure." On 2/5/2015 at 10:45 AM, E3, Licensed Practical Nurse, LPN, stated that R9 required two person assistance with the mechanical lift, that he could lift only his head and was totally dependent for all other movement. On 2/5/2015 at 1:00 PM, E19, Restorative Aide, stated that R9 was not able to move his arms. On 2/6/2015 at 2:20 PM, E18, stated R9 was not able to to move is hands to pull out his tracheostomy and that he was not having a seizure at that time his tracheostomy tube became dislodged from it's site. On 2/13/15 at 10:00 AM, in a phone interview, E1 stated the above incident report written by E15 was not written on 2/4/15 as documented, but written on 2/5/15. E1 stated that the report documents 2 CNA's assisted R9 on 2/4/15 when his tracheostomy became dislodged, however this is an error, there was only 1 CNA who transferred R9 at the time of the event on 2/4/15. The Immediate Jeopardy situation was identified to have began on 2/4/2015 when R9 was transferred with only one assist, E13 (CNA), and his tracheostomy was pulled out during transfer. R9 was sent to a local hospital for respiratory distress. The facility failed to transfer R9 with the assistance of two, as per policy and procedure. E1 and E2 were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 2-5-2015 at 3:30 PM. Through surveyor interviews, observation and record review, the facility took the following actions to remove the Immediacy on 2/6/15: 1.

The "Illinois Department of Public Health Uniform Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) Order Form" signed and dated on [DATE] by Z2, appointed Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, documented Z2 had selected the following: "1. FULL CARDIOPULMONARY ARREST (When both breathing and heartbeat stop): Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) (Measures to promote patient comfort and dignity will be provided) 2. PRE-ARREST EMERGENCY (When breathing is labored or stopped, and heart is still beating): ...Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) (Measures to promote patient comfort and dignity will be provided)." Z1, Physician, signed the DNR order on [DATE]. The facility's "CPR Code Status" documented Z2 selected on [DATE] "No CPR: In the event of cardiopulmonary arrest, CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) will NOT be initiated in the facility". Z2 did not select "NO TRANSFER: The resident will not be sent to the hospital. The resident will be given comfort and supportive measures at (Facility) as ordered by the physician". E6, LPN, stated in an interview on [DATE] at 10:45 AM that to check for a resident's advanced directive status the nurse would have to check in the resident's medical record. E6 stated the code status used to be on the Medication Administration Record [MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION RECORD DETAILS REDACTED]. E7, Nurse Manager, stated in an interview on [DATE] at 10:47 AM that the residents have a red or green dot on the chart and on the resident's name by the outside door. Red means "Do Not Resuscitate" and green means full code. E6, who was present during this interview, stated she was not aware of the red and green dots. E1, Administrator, stated in an interview on [DATE] at 12:10 PM that there is no policy and procedure for the red and green dots on the door and chart. E32, Corporate Nurse, stated in an interview on [DATE] at 11:15 AM that there was no policy and procedures for the use of the red and green dots for code status. E32 stated there was no policy and procedure for what to do for an unresponsive resident. The "(Facility) Daily Ventilator Documentation Record" dated [DATE] documented by Z3, Respiratory student, and E3, RT, at 7:10 PM for R1 "found pt (patient) unresponsive, immediately notified respiratory, respiratory notified nursing. No reading on pulse ox (Oximetry), called ambulance, sent to hospital. Admitting dx (diagnosis): [MEDICAL CONDITION]". The nurses note by E10, LPN, dated [DATE] at 7:10 PM documented "Called to resident room...RT (related to) resident in chair unresponsive O2 (oxygen) 81 % RT (Respiratory Therapist) began to bag resident while this nurse called (ambulance) to transfer to ER (emergency room )". E3, RT, stated in an interview on [DATE] at 12:10 PM that R1 was unresponsive when she walked into the room and she shook R1 with no response. E3 stated the pulse ox had no reading and there was no pulse when she checked for a pulse. E3 stated she didn't know the code status so they did CPR on R1 and "bagged" her with the ambu-bag until the EMT's (emergency medical technicians) arrived. E3 stated the nurse did the chest compressions. E3 stated she did not recall any red or green dots on the door and the nurse went to check on the code status in the chart. E3 stated they had to do what was needed until they found out the code status. E3 stated R1 was a no code, but they got a heart rate and because R1 was a "transport" she had to be sent out. E3 stated the "No Transport" document was not signed so that meant R1 had to be transported to the hospital. E3 stated in an interview on [DATE] at 11:45 AM that Z3, Respiratory student, had found R1 and called her in. E3 stated she checked R1's pulse on her neck and wrist, there was no pulse, and no reading on the pulse oximetry machine. E3 stated she did not have a stethoscope to check for the pulse. E3 stated R1 was in a chair and she did do a few chest compressions on R1 in the chair. E3 stated they did not move R1 to a flat surface. E3 stated E13, LPN, started chest compressions and once they had a pulse they only bagged R1. E3 stated E10, LPN, went to check for the code status. E3 did not recall if there was a red or green dot on the door. E8, RT, stated in an interview on [DATE] at 11:40 AM that they usually start CPR on a resident found with no pulse until they can find out if the resident has a DNR status. E8 stated they have to check the chart to find out and would lose a few minutes finding out the status. If the resident was a full code that would mean a few minutes lost to start CPR. E8 stated there are "dots" on the door but they have to check the chart to be sure. E1, Administrator, stated, in an interview on [DATE] at 12:10 PM that there is no policy and procedure regarding the red or green dots to indicate code status. E1 stated there is no policy and procedure regarding what to do if an unresponsive resident is found by staff. E10, LPN, stated in an interview on [DATE] at 2:15 PM that she was called to the room for R1. E10 stated her pulse oximetry reading was zero and she was not sure she could hear a pulse.

E13 stated she was going to do chest compressions but R1 was in a chair and she needed to be on a flat surface and they did not put her on the floor. E13 stated E3 started chest compressions in the chair and it was back as far as it would go. E13 stated respiratory was bagging R1 and when E10 came back and said R1 was a DNR they had already stopped compressions and were just bagging her. E13 stated when the EMT's got there they were "getting on them" because R1 was a DNR but they had to send R1 out due to the transfer status. E13 stated they have to check the chart to make sure what the code status is. E28, Corporate Nurse, stated in an interview on [DATE] at 12:45 PM that she was not sure why this incident of resuscitating R1 when she was a DNR was an Immediate Jeopardy. E28 stated staff have to be "proactive" when there is a code and someone has to be in charge. E18 stated they don't have a lot of codes at the facility and it is "chaotic" during a code and staff just respond. Z1, Physician, stated in an interview on [DATE] at 11:30 PM that CPR should not have been done on R1. Z1 stated the staff were "stuck" because they had done CPR and got a heart beat before they found out R1 was a DNR.

The CPR was stopped and the EMS called. The EMS apparently first notified about the [MEDICAL CONDITION]. Upon arrival of the EMS, the pulse oximetry read 99% and the heart rate was 63. The EMS was informed that the CPR was started and subsequently stopped prior to their arrival...". The hospital "Discharge Summary" dated [DATE] documented R1 presented to the hospital with acute on chronic [MEDICAL CONDITION], with altered level of consciousness after having CPR at ECF (Extended Care Facility), though per family she was no-code". The summary documented "given her poor overall status and the diminished likelihood that she would be able to breath without the vent given her [MEDICAL CONDITIONS] the family decided to withdraw care. We initiated the process on [DATE], and the patient died later in the afternoon on comfort care measures". Z2, Power of Attorney, stated in an interview on [DATE] at 4:10 PM that R1 was on a vent at the facility. Z2 stated R1 was not suppose to be resuscitated but staff at the facility did resuscitate her and she went to the hospital. Z2 stated they had to make the decision to take her off the vent at the hospital. Z2 stated they shouldn't have resuscitated R1. The Facility "Do Not Resuscitate Order" policy states "Our facility will not use cardiopulmonary resuscitation and related emergency measures to maintain life functions on a resident when there is a Do Not Resuscitate Order in effect". The "Advance Directive" policy states "Advance directives will be respected in accordance with state law and facility policy. The policy defines "Do Not Resuscitate" as "Indicates that, in the case of respiratory or cardiac failure, the resident, legal guardian, health care proxy, or representative (sponsor) has directed no cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or other life-saving methods are to be used".

Based on record review, interview, and observation, the facility failed to assess, monitor and calculate sufficient calories and hydration according to actual body weight for nutrition provided by a gastrostomy tube feeding for 1 of 3 residents (R6) reviewed for gastrostomy tube feeding in a sample of 6. This failure resulted in R6 losing 24 pounds in a 5 month period (12 % significant weight loss), hospitalization for severe dehydration and development of a stage 4 pressure ulcer. The findings include: According to the physician's orders [REDACTED]. The Minimum (MDS) data set [DATE] assessed R6 as totally dependent for all activities of daily living and was receiving a gastrostomy tube feeding. E33, Registered Dietitian (RD), documented on 6/7/12 under " Dietitians Progress Record " that R6 was receiving a tube feeding of [MEDICATION NAME] 2.0 with 165 cc ' s (cubic centimeters) given every 4 hours with 100 cc ' s of water every 4 hours. E33 documented R6 ' s weight at 220 pounds. The note documented that E33 discussed R6's weight status with the Certified Dietary Manager (CMD) and would verify R6's weight prior to estimating his nutritional needs and she would monitor and refer R6 as needed. A Dietary Assessment was not done until 6/28/12 when E33 documented on that R6 ' s weight was 220 pounds with an ideal body weight as 154 pounds plus or minus 15 pounds. The assessment documented R6 ' s [MEDICATION NAME] as 2.8 g/dl (grams/deciliter) which indicates moderate visceral protein deficiency according to the " Enteral Feeding Assessment Guide " . E33 assessed R6's nutritional needs, based on an adjusted weight of 170.5 to 177.5 pounds instead of actual weight of 220 pounds. E33's calculations were 2170 calories, 93 grams of protein, and 2500 cc's (cubic centimeters) water per day. R6 ' s nutritional needs, based on actual weight of 220 pounds, were calculated by the Department as 2498-3123 calories, 120-150 grams of protein and 3000-3500 cc ' s water. According to the manufacturers ' nutritional information, [MEDICATION NAME] 2.0 that E33 recommended for R6 on 6/7/12 contained 1980 calories, 79 grams of protein and 1293 cc ' s of water. E33 did not reassess R6 ' s calorie, protein and fluid needs in the "Dietitian's Progress Record" or the "Dietary Assessment" again through 12/13/12. laboratory results dated [DATE], documented R6's Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) was 46 mg/dl (milligrams/decaliter) with normal 7-27 mg/dl. On 7/21/12 the Physician order [REDACTED]. 4 hours. laboratory results dated [DATE] documented R6's BUN was 23 and creatinine was 0.7 mg/dl (normal 0.5-1.5 mg/dl). laboratory results dated [DATE] documented BUN was 24 and the creatinine was 0.7. On 9/27/12, the BUN was 24 and the creatinine was 0.7. On 9/27/12 the tube feeding flushes were decreased to 200 cc's every 4 hours on the POS. On 10/11/12, E33 documented R6's BUN was 40 and to "monitor". On 10/25/12 E33 documented no information regarding the BUN and "will monitor status". E33 documented R6 ' s weight at 194.8 pounds. E33 did not calculate and document R6's nutritional needs based on his current weight. The "Weekly Pressure Ulcer QI Log" dated 10/22/12 documented R6 developed four facility acquired pressure ulcers on 10/1/12. On 10/22/12 the pressure ulcers on the right and left buttocks, and left ankle were stage 2. The right ankle was unstageable. On the pressure ulcer log dated 12/3/12 documented R6 had a stage 4 pressure ulcer to the right ankle, an unstageable pressure ulcer on the left ankle and a stage 2 pressure ulcer to the right ischium. There was no documentation that E33 was contacted to assess R6 for additional nutritional needs based on the development of pressure sores. On 11/8/12, E33 documented R6 ' s weight at 194.1 pounds and recommended a change in the tube feeding to [MEDICATION NAME] 60 cc's/hour for 23 hours with a 200 cc water flush every 4 hours. Per manufacturer this provided 2760 calories, 110 grams of protein, 2166 cc's water. According to the nutritional needs calculated by the Department, nutritional needs for R6 at 194 pounds were 1888-2360 calories, 114-132 grams of protein, 2645-3086 cc's of water which did not meet R6's hydration needs. The POS documented the physician ordered a "stat BMP" (blood metabolic panel) on 11/13/12. On 11/13/12 the physician ordered R6 sent to the emergency room due to abnormal labs. The lab results documented R6's BUN was 113, creatinine 1.2, sodium 168 (normal 135-145 mEq/L (milliequivalents/liter) and potassium was 5.2 (normal 3.5-5.3 mEq/L). The emergency room report documented R6 "presents from (facility) with severe dehydration and a UTI (urinary tract infection). The patient has a chronic indwelling (catheter), gtube and trach". R6 was admitted to the hospital and was discharged on [DATE]. The hospital "Discharge Summary" dated 11/23/12 documented R6 "presented from (facility) with severe dehydration and UTI". The summary documented as the "Hospital Course" that on admission R6 was hypernatremic with a "total water deficit of 9 L (liters) on admission" The summary documented "Nutrition was consulted for recommendations regarding his [DEVICE] feeds, as he was not being adequately given water, so specific recommendations were sent home with him when he left regarding his tube feeds to prevent further episodes of [MEDICAL CONDITION]." The summary documented R6 was septic due to a UTI with acute [MEDICAL CONDITION] which resolved with rehydration. On readmission to the facility on [DATE] the hospital "Discharge Instructions" documented under "Diet Comments" for R6 ' s tube feeding as "Oxepa 45 ml/hr with 50 ml water flushes per hour". According to the manufacturers information Oxepa which provides 1.5 calories per cc. This would provide 1552.5 calories per day according to manufacturer ' s information. The hospital tube feeding instructions was not followed by the facility. The 11/2012 POS documented an order for [REDACTED]. On 11/26/12 the lab report documented R6's BUN at 26, creatinine at 0.8 and sodium at 140. On 11/29/12 E33 recommended to increase his tube feeding to Fibersource HN 75 cc's per hour with 200 cc's flush every 4 hours and Prostat Supplement 30 cc's three times per day. E33 did not assess R6 ' s nutritional needs for calories, protein or water. This tube feeding recommendation would provide 2760 calories, 155 grams protein and 2766 cc's water per manufacturers information. On 12/5/12 lab report documented R6's BUN was elevated at 61 and creatinine was within normal limits of 1.4. R6's weight was documented at 184.6 by E33 on 11/29/12. On 12/11/12, E33 documented R6 had a 16.9% significant weight decrease in 6 months. The nutrition notes documented multiple pressure ulcers with a stage 4 on the right ankle, stage 2 to right ischium and unstageable to the left ankle. E33 documented R6's BUN was elevated at 61. E33 documented she would continue with feeding/flushes as ordered and as needed. There were no assessments done to address R6 ' s nutritional needs or any recommendations to change the tube feeding or flush. Observation on 12/11/12 at 2:40 PM was made on R6's tube feeding. The tube feeding of Fibersource HN for R6 was hung at 9:45 AM on 12/11/12 with a 1500 cc bag. The bag documented the tube feeding rate was 75 cc's per hour. At 2:40 PM there was 1300 cc's of tube feeding in the bag and there should have been only 1125 cc's. The tube feeding pump was off and E20, Licensed Practical Nurse, came in at 2:42 PM and saw the pump off and restarted it. E20 stated she was not sure why the pump was off. The "Intake Output Record" documented R6 received 600 cc's on the 7 AM -3 PM shift and 641 cc's for the 3 PM til 11 PM shift. The " Intake Output Record " did not reflect the decrease in tube feeding amount due to the pump being turned off. There is no documentation in the nurse ' s notes or on the Intake record regarding the discrepancy. R6 does not receive [MEDICATION NAME] or any other medication requiring the tube feeding be shut off for any length of time, according to the "Physician Orders". E32, Corporate Nurse, stated in an interview on 12/1312 at 3:30 PM that she was not sure why the tube feeding pump was off or why R6 had lost weight and was admitted to the hospital on [DATE] for severe dehydration. E32 stated she would check with the dietitian. The E33's Progress Record dated 12/13/12 E33 documented that she spoke with the corporate registered nurse regarding R6's status. E33 documented that she wanted to provide adequate nutrition without problems with tolerance. Changed R6's feeding to [MEDICATION NAME] 2.0 at 60 cc/hr and increase flushes to 300 cc every 4 hours. This will provide 2760 allegories, 110.4 gm protein and 966 fluids plus 1800cc from flushes. These calculation were not based on R6's weight of 184 pounds. The 12/13/12 assessment by E33 did not assess R6's calorie, fluid and protein needs. .

In addition to that we have in-serviced our staff on residents that wander and the purpose of the (patient monitoring device)." R9's Care Plan dated [DATE] was not revised after his elopement attempts on ,[DATE] and [DATE] to provide interventions to assist staff in preventing R9's future attempts at elopements. R9's Care Plan was updated after he eloped from the facility on [DATE]; however, his Care Plan was not revised after R9 was placed on 15 minute checks after his elopement attempt on [DATE]. On [DATE] at 8:30 AM an interview was conducted with E30. E30 stated she was hired the last week of October as the MDS/Care Plan Coordinator. E30 stated she went through R9's chart and asked staff questions regarding R9. E30 stated she was not aware of R9's previous elopement attempts.

On [DATE] at 8:30 AM an interview was conducted with E30. E30 stated she was not aware R2 had attempted to elope the facility on [DATE] and had not revised R2's Care Plan. The Immediate Jeopardy was identified to have begun on [DATE] between 7:30 PM and 8:15 PM when R1 eloped from the facility without staff 's knowledge. E1 and E31, Director of Regional Operations, were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE] at 1:33 PM. The surveyor confirmed through interview, record review and observation that the Facility took the following actions to remove the Immediacy: 1. On [DATE], the facility conducted individual in-service training for all staff. All staff were in-services on the following policies and protocol: Elopements, Wandering Residents, Missing Residents, Head Checks and Drills, Elopement Drills, Door Alarms, Behavior Tracking, Tracking Sheets, Residents Currently on Tracking and/or (patient monitoring device) and the (patient monitoring device) System Policy. 2. On [DATE], the facility reassessed all current residents in the facility to determine wandering risk status. Following this, all high risk residents care plans were reviewed and changes made as necessary. 3. On [DATE], a Quality Assurance (QA) Meeting was held and all areas of the facility were reviewed to determine the possible exit route of the missing resident and other possible problem areas that exist. New preventative measures were implemented at that time as needed. 4. On [DATE], the QA committee reviewed all related policies and revisions were made as needed. 5. On [DATE] and on-going, secondary keyed door alarms were installed on all exit doors accessible to residents. 6.

Follow-up will be implemented based on the results of the assessment. 12. On [DATE] and on-going, patient monitoring devices will be checked daily by the MDS nurses Monday thru Friday and on the weekend by the weekend manager. B. Based on observation, record review, and interviews, the facility failed to provide safe transfer technique and failed to assess for possible cause of fracture of unknown origin for one of one resident (R3) reviewed for a fracture of unknown origin in the sample of 9; and failed to provide progressive interventions for fall prevention of 1 of five residents (R5) reviewed for fall risks in the sample of 9. This failure resulted in R3's fracture of distal left tibial and fibular shafts. Findings include: 1. On [DATE] E2, Director of Nursing (DON) sent a report to the IDPH office which stated (in part), "I have conducted an investigation following the letter...sent to you on [DATE]. The report is in regard to R3, who was [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. I have interviewed staff....The injury was noted by a CNA...was reported to the Nurse on duty....there were no complaints of pain prior to this....She (R3) was returned to our facility on Monday [DATE] with a soft cast to her lower leg.....I have concluded my investigation. It is still unknown when or how this injury occurred....". E2's report of [DATE] stated (in part), "...there were no complaints of pain prior to this." R3's Nursing Notes documented the following complaints of pain: a) On [DATE] at 7:50 PM, E17, Registered Nurse (RN) documented in R3's Skilled Nurses Note, "Resident yelling...CNA reports resident is complaining of pain. Given 650 mg. Tylenol via jelly.....". The Skilled Daily Nurses Note described the pain as "generalized" and intensity (0 -10) "crying". b) On [DATE] at 10:15 AM, E17 stated she remembered R3's complaint of pain on [DATE]. E17 stated she was preparing for medication pass when the CNA informed her of R3's complaint of pain. E17 was asked what was the source of the pain and stated she could not say. E17 did not assess R3 for the location of the pain. c) On [DATE] at 8:50 PM, E12, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), documented in R3's Skilled Daily Nurses Note, "Res. c/o (complaining of) pain in left leg. Gave PRN Tylenol....". On [DATE] at 11:15 AM, E12 stated in a telephone interview that she gave R3 the pain medication on [DATE]. E12 was asked if she looked at R3's legs and feet at that time. E12 stated R3's, "legs are always very swollen. I didn't see any difference". d) On [DATE] at 5 PM, E11, LPN, documented in R3's Skilled Daily Nurses Note, "C/o leg pain - given PRN Tylenol with evening medication - taken without difficulty with assistance from CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). On [DATE] at 10 AM, E11 stated in a telephone interview that she remembered R3's daughter asked for the Tylenol for "pain in her legs" on [DATE]. E11 stated she did not look at R3's legs when she gave the pain medication on [DATE]. e) During a confidential staff interview on [DATE], at 3:10 PM, staff stated that on the previous Sunday, [DATE], R3's ankle was swollen and R3, "was definitely in pain. She was hollering out, voice was higher pitched than usual." Staff stated the nurse was informed on Sunday, [DATE]th, that R3's ankle was swollen and she was in pain. The facility's Monthly Incident Tracking form for [DATE] listed R3's incident dated [DATE], "Left ankle found swollen, in pain...... Type of injury: Fx (fractured) ankle. Investigation: Res. transferred via (mechanical) lift. Possible hit leg during transfer. Intervention: pad pole during transfer.". The Hospital Consultation Report dated [DATE] by Z6, Doctor of Osteopathy documented (in part), "She (R3)....evidently in the process of being transferred..The staff lost control of her and she struck the floor, sustaining an injury to her left ankle.....Radiographs....showed mildly angulated and displaced fractures of the distal left tibial and fibular shafts." On [DATE] at 11:45 AM, E2, DON,stated that she was at the facility on [DATE], when R3's fracture was first reported. E2 was asked why the hospital report stated that R3's injury was a result of a fall. E2 stated she was unaware of the hospital report and had no idea where the hospital obtained that information. On [DATE] at 12:10 PM, E1, Administrator, stated she had completed the [DATE] Accident Incident Log that attributed R3's cause as "...transferred via (mechanical lift) Possible hit leg during transfer." E1 stated, "That's my assumption of how the injury was caused. That was the only thing that I could think of - possibly she hit the lift. That is not a statement of fact.". E1 stated she had not reviewed the report that E2, DON, had sent to IDPH, which stated that the cause of injury was not known. On [DATE] at 10:22 AM, R3 was transferred from her bed to a loveseat/chair at her bedside. E13, and E26, CNA's, E25, LPN, and E27, Respiratory Therapist, were in the room to assist with the transfer. R3 was placed on the lift pad for a large mechanical lift. E25 supported R3's legs. E13 operated the mechanical lift, and E26 assisted in guiding R3 towards the chair. E27 was holding the ventilator tubing. As the lift moved R3 towards the chair, the base of the lift did not spread widely enough to face the front of the chair. The lift base was positioned around the side of the chair, which would require the CNAs to swing R3 either to the right or left to position her in the chair correctly. As E13 was turning R3 to lower her into her chair, R3's left leg and cast were moving towards the center support pole of the lift. E13 moved the lift base back from the chair, turned the chair in the opposite direction so R3's feet could clear the lift pole, and guided her towards the chair. E27 had to move the ventilator down to the foot of the bed until R3 was positioned in the chair. The staff involved in the transfer had to move furniture around, reposition the lift, reposition the chair, move the ventilator around the foot of the bed, all while R3 was suspended from the mechanical lift. R3 is assessed as totally dependent on staff for all Activities of Daily Living (ADL). R3's MDS dated [DATE] assessed her as totally dependent, requiring two or more staff for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, eating, toilet use, grooming. R3's Care Plan dated [DATE] identified Problem/Need: Total care for all ADL tasks and Fall risk r/t cognitive deficits. 2. R5's POS dated [DATE] indicated she had partial [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. R5's MDS dated [DATE] documented she required limited assistance of two staff persons for transfers and was assessed as not steady, only able to stablize with human assistance when moving from seated to standing position. R5's Nurse's Note dated [DATE] at 6:28 AM documented "found resident on floor in room in sitting position @ (at) foot of bed stated she bumped her head. 0 injuries noted". R5's Nurse's Note dated [DATE] 3:50 AM documented "CNA went into res room @ 3:30 AM found resident in sitting position on floor beside the bed stated she was sitting on side of the bed and slid to the floor". R5's Nurse's Note dated [DATE] at 5:10 PM documented "Resident found on floor by this nurse sitting in front of w/c (wheelchair)on the floor on buttocks. Res denies having any pain. Res stating 'I was trying to go to the bathroom.' " R5's Fall Investigation Report dated [DATE] documented R5 was trying to get to the bed from her wheelchair and fell to the floor. R5's Care Plan dated [DATE] was not revised after R5 fell on [DATE], [DATE] and [DATE] to address R5's falls or progressive interventions to prevent R5 from future falls. On ,[DATE]/, ,[DATE] and [DATE] the surveyor requested the Incident Reports regarding R5's falls on ,[DATE], ,[DATE] and [DATE]. On [DATE] at 11:45 AM during an interview with E1 she stated no incident reports could be found regarding R5's falls on ,[DATE], ,[DATE] and [DATE].

Inspection of November 2, 2011

4 findings
F224J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

A) Based on interview, observation and record review, the facility neglected to identify new pressure ulcers and or wounds and neglected to identify new pressure ulcers/wounds as ordered for 1 of 3 residents (R5) reviewed for pressure sores and/or wounds in the sample of 7. This neglect resulted in R5's developing pressure sores the facility was unaware of and having deteriorating sores they failed to identify, assess and treat. Findings include: According to nurses notes dated 9/26/11 at 2:30pm, R5 was sent to the emergency room after staff noted decreased alertness, increased blood sugars for 2 days and rapid progression of a sacral decubitus. Wound reports dated 9/26/11 indicate R5 was being seen by a wounds specialist who identified 8 pressure sores. The facility's "Weekly Pressure Ulcer QI Log" dated 9/26/11 shows the facility identifying 6 pressure ulcers, not 8 as identified by the wound specialist that same day. The weekly pressure ulcer report dated 9/19/11 identifies that R5 had 3 areas. There is no indication until 9/26/11, that the facility identified decline in the wounds he was admitted with on 9/12/11. Treatment records from September 12 through the 26th, 2011, show treatments were documented as being done 9 of the 13 days, with an order for [REDACTED]. Pictures and information obtained from the hospital, dated 9/26/11, indicate a wound consultant saw R5 due to numerous open areas on his skin. The areas were documented to include, "superficial blisters that have denuded revealing superficial pink open areas beneath on his right axilla, right lateral knee, right calf, left calf in several areas in addition to open sloughing areas on his right hip, coccyx that are very large, at leach 12-15cm each. The coccyx is butterfly shaped. The rt trochanter area is moist, sloughing and there is some purple discoloration around this. The left plantar foot has a pink, resolving area with scarring around it. The left heel has eschar that is coming off, removed. The rt (right) heel has some purple discoloration but intact skin at this time." The report continues to state that R5 "should be hospice and made comfortable" with palliative wound care provided. The coccyx wound was identified as a Kennedy ulcer. Hospital photographs dated 9/26/11 show R5 to have an open area on his abdominal fold measuring 5cm long and 1/2 centimeters wide, fatty tissue/slough at the wound base, and an open sore at the urethra opening. According to an consultant report dated 9/27/11, R5 had sores on his rectum described as, "The rectum has water filled blistering all around and there is ulceration on the outside, extending up into the rectum that shows sloughing." None of these areas were evident in any facility documentation. According to facility admission records, R5 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] and placed on Hospice services. On 10/7/11, R5's skin was checked with E21, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) at 10:54am. R5 had no dressings on his right hip sore, no dressing/treatment on his coccyx and his coccyx/buttocks wounds were actively bleeding. He had a [MEDICATION NAME] dressing on his right outer leg dated 10/5/11 The pads underneath him were soiled with bloody drainage and his lower extremities dressings were on but soiled with bloody drainage. None were dated. E21 looked through the bedclothes for the dressings but was unable to locate them. A Certified Nurses Aide (CNA), E13 stated she removed the dressings at 9:30am. Review of the Treatment Administration Record for (TAR) for November 2011, R5 had no treatments done to his pressure sores since his return from the hospital on [DATE] as it was blank with no initials documented. Review of the Physician order [REDACTED]. On 11/1/11 at 12:30pm, E22 LPN stated she admitted R5 back into the facility on [DATE] and completed the TAR. E22 stated R5 returned from the hospital with no treatment orders. At that time E22 called and received orders for treatments. E2 stated she did the dressings the afternoon of 10/5/11 when she assessed R5's wounds but acknowledged that she didn't sign the TAR after completing them. E5 was asked why she didn't sign off the treatments and stated "sometimes she doesn't." On 11/1/11 at 11:55am, E4 LPN confirmed she worked on 10/6/11 and did not get R5's treatments done. E4 stated she "passed the information on to" the next nurse but did not document that R5's treatments were not done. This was confirmed in nurses notes written by E4 on 10/1/11. The first initials, on the TAR, for R5's treatments was on 10/7/11. On 10/28/11, a copy of R5's October 2011 TAR was obtained and noted to not only have the blanks for treatments done following his admission on 11/5/11 until 11/7/11, but to also have initials of treatments done on 10/3 and 10/4/11 when he was not in the facility. These initials were added after the first copy was obtained on 10/7/11. On 11/1/11, E2 Director of Nursing confirmed that documentation was a problem. E2 confirmed that treatments should be done as ordered by the physician and documented when done. E2 also stated that treatments not done should be initialed and circled. E2 confirmed that they have identified concerns with pressure ulcer treatment. In addition, Skilled Daily Nurses Notes for 9/23/11, 9/24/11, 9/25/11, 9/26/11, 10/5/11, 10/6/11 and 10/7/11 failed to identify any skin ulcers on R5. E2, E22, E4 and E19 were all unable to explain why this assessment conflicts with weekly wound documentation and treatment records. B) Based on interview, observation and record review, the facility neglected to meet nutrition and hydration needs and neglected to revise the plan of care for 1 of 4 residents (R5) reviewed for tube feeding in a sample of 7. Findings include: The care plan dated 8/4/11 identifies R5 to require tube feedings with goals to meet his hydration needs and maintain his weight within 5% by next review on 11/4/11. Interventions indicate staff are to follow physician's orders [REDACTED].), and position at 30 degrees minimum. The care plan does not reflect any weight loss although monthly weight records indicate R5 has had a substantial weight loss since his admission to the facility. R5's admission weight is recorded as 257.9 pounds on 5/5/11; his weight on 7/29/11 was 225.8; on 8/19/11, 245.7; and on 9/6/11, 226 pounds. E23, Registered Dietician's (RD), made a Note on admission in May 2011 that R5 had feedings set at 60cc/hr and flushes at 120cc every 4 hours. On 6/24/11, an RD note identified that his current flush rate did not meet his hydration needs and documented "wt (weight) (decreased), fluids do not meet needs but may not tolerate ^ (increase). Will suggest and monitor. Concur c (with) goal and plan." No changes were recommended. On 7/13/11, the RD assessment documents "6/28/11 flush ^ to 250cc q (every) 4 hours. Tube feeding the same." R5's weight is documented as 222.7 pounds. On 7/29/11, the RD again documents to increase R5's flushes to 250cc q 4 hours. R5 was not reviewed again by the RD until 8/4/11. At that time, no weekly weights were recorded and no additional interventions toward preventing further weight loss is noted or recommended by the nursing staff or the RD. On 9/12/11, R5 was readmitted to the facility following a hospitalization for pneumonia. His tube feeding was ordered at 60cc/hour with 120cc flushes every 4 hours even though the RD has identified that 120cc every 4 hours does not meet his hydration needs previously. An RD note dated 9/14/11 reflects the TF at 60cc/hour with water flushes at 120cc every hours. The note states readmission weight "to be clarified." R5 did not have weekly weights done following his readmission. The next entry by the RD was not until 10/14/11. Calculating intake for feedings at 60cc/hr, 12 hours shifts would be 720cc with 120cc flushes every 4 hours being 360cc per 12 hours shift. The I&O sheets for the feeding and flushes from 9/12/11 to 9/26/11 are inconsistently documented with many blanks. There is no intake documented on 9/12/11. On 9/13/11 for 7a-7p shift, 480cc is documented under "ORAL" even though R5 is NPO (nothing by mouth.) and 861cc for "OTHER." On 9/14/11, 240cc is documented for 3-11 shift, 491cc for feeding but has no documentation for the rest of the day. 9/15 has 240cc/flush for 7p to 7a, 570cc/feeding with 7a-7p 480cc and 936cc/feeding. On 9/16/11 7p-7a, R5 is recorded as only getting 240 cc flush and 580cc feeding with nothing recorded for 7a-7p shift. On 9/17/11, 7p-7a has 240cc recorded for flush and 500cc feeding, 7a-7p has 360cc recorded for flush and 702cc recorded for feeding. On 9/18/11, 7a-7p 408cc flush, 1330cc feeding and 7p-7a 240cc flush with 570cc feeding. From 9/19/11 through 9/25/11, documentation is absent for 6 of 15 shifts. According to nurses notes dated 9/26/11 at 2:30pm, R5 was sent to the emergency room after staff "noted decreased alertness, increased blood sugars for 2 days and rapid progression of a sacral decubitus." He was admitted with dehydration,[MEDICAL CONDITION] and numerous pressure ulcers/wounds that included extreme excoriation and open wound surrounding the gastric tube ([DEVICE]) insertion site. The facility did not have the [DEVICE] site wound identified prior to discharge on 9/26/11. The care plan shows no revisions to R5's interventions toward fluid intake/dehydration and/or weight maintenance since 5/26/11 despite his continued weight loss. On 11/1/11 at 2pm, E15, LPN, stated she worked with R5 on 9/24, 9/25 and 9/26 on 7am to 7pm shift. E15 stated she didn't know why she didn't document R5's intake for 9/23/11 but cleared the pump and wrote the amount down. The ORAL intake is the section she documents the flushes in. E15 stated R5 had no vomiting and/or diarrhea in the days prior to his hospitalization . On 10/5/11, R5 was readmitted to the facility. His admission weight was recorded as 230.6 pounds although his weekly weight was recorded as 199.3. On 11/1/11, R5's weight was 196.4. On 10/7/11 at 10:52am, R5's [MEDICATION NAME] 1000cc bag was hanging with 500cc left. The pump was running at 60cc/hour. The bag was not labeled. R5's mouth was in need of oral care as he had white substance in the roof of his mouth with sores evident. Lips were dry and peeling. At 10:54am, E21, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated she did not know when the bag of [MEDICATION NAME] was hung. R5's [DEVICE] site was noted to have no open sores evident but dark brown crusted substance underneath it. E21 stated "It just needs to be cleaned." On 10/28/11 at 1:30pm, E23, RD stated she bases all her feedings on 23 hour infusion. E23 stated no weekly weights were done until his last hospitalization . E23 stated she will look at the intake sheets occasionally and last saw R5 on 10/14/11. R5 was readmitted on [MEDICATION NAME] 60cc/hr and 250cc flush with med pass. The RD note dated 10/14/11 indicates R5's weights "fluctuate". On 10/12/11, an order to increase R5's flushes to 250cc with every med pass and every 4 hours was given. E23, RD, acknowledged on 10/28/11 at 1:30pm that the med passes would be every 4 hours so essentially, his flushes were not increased.

F224J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility neglected to identify, assess and implement interventions to prevent elopement for one of three residents (R1) reviewed for elopement in the sample of 9.

Nursing staff initialed the order starting on 1/11/12. R3's Care Plan for potential for skin breakdown was not updated to identify the facility-acquired pressure ulcer and treatment ordered to treat the pressure ulcer. On 1/20/12 at 2:30 PM, E2, Director of Nursing, (DON), stated she was unaware that the "abrasion" had been documented on both the right and left buttock. E2 was unable to state if there were two separate areas, or just one that had been documented incorrectly. The area observed on 1/19/12 was on the right buttock. On 1/19/12 from 12:45 PM until 3:00 PM, R3 remained in the same position. She was in bed, on her back, with the head of her bed elevated, and R3's position was unchanged for 2 hours and 15 minutes. On 1/20/12 from 10:22 AM until 3:15 PM, R3 remained in the same position. R3 was seated in the chair next to her bed, and R3's position was unchanged for 4 hours and 53 minutes. R3's Care Plan dated 12/12/11 for potential for pressure ulcers documented an approach, "Turn, reposition at least every 2 hours, more often as needed or requested." The facility's Skin Care, Assessment and Maintenance Policy updated 9/2011, documented (in part), "Documentation will be recorded in the resident's medical record....All pressure ulcers are to be....on the TAR (Treatment Administration Record)....any assessment change noted, and any change noted with the resident.....". The Procedure documented an intervention "Decreased Pressure: Turn and position every two hours. Use supportive pillows or body aligner to redistribute body weight..." 2. Review of the Admission Sheet doucments R7 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis, in part, of [MEDICAL CONDITION], Acute [MEDICAL CONDITION], and Urinary tract infections. The Minimum Data Set, MDS, dated [DATE] indicates that R7 is totally dependent on staff for all activities of daily living (ADL) and is cognitively impaired. The Care Plan dated 1/16/12 identifies R7 at risk for pressure ulcers related to decreased movements and incontinent of bowel. There are no open areas identified currently on 1/19/12. The Skin Chart completed on admission 12/15/11 does not identify any open areas or pressure ulcers present on R7 at the time but does does identify some "excoriation." There is no further documentation present in the chart that includes an assessment of the excoriation. There is a physician's orders [REDACTED]. There is also no treatment records in the clinical record to review to see if the treatments were initialed as completed.

A skin chart completed on 12/24/11 identifies R7 to have an open area stage II/excoriation on his left buttock and a "small open area on ear" (left and right). There is no further information on these areas in regards to measurements that included stages, etc. There is no treatment sheet that reflects that any orders were received for these areas or treatments were done. On 12/27/11, R7 was sent back to the hospital and returned on 1/3/12. A "skin issue notification tool to treatment nurse" sheet dated 1/3/12 was completed and identified an "open area" on the coccyx. The skin chart dated 1/3/12 had the coccyx circled, but included no further information, and no orders were noted on the physician's orders [REDACTED]. Review of the Dietary assessment dated [DATE] has "pressure ulcers" checked with "(on bil ears) - stage II on L (left) buttock." However, there is no documentation present in the chart including the physician's orders [REDACTED]. On 1/19/12 at 9:05am, R7 was observed to have a stage II ulcer on his right ear, outer auricle, left ear and right buttocks with scarring on his left buttock. E8, CNA, was assisting with the skin check and was aware of all the areas observed at the time. At 10:25am on 1/19/12, E9, Treatment Nurse, stated she was going in to assess R7's open area on his buttock. E9 rolled R7 to his right side with the assistance of E10, Registered Nurse. R7 had a large irregular shaped ulcer on his mid right buttock which had slough present on the upper half and active bleeding at the lower right edge. The dermis was completely gone. There was deep purple scarring on the mid left buttock but no open areas were noted. E9 measured the right buttock area then applied barrier cream and a gauze dressing. E9 had completed her treatment, and was ready to leave the room when asked about R7's ear sores. E9 stated she "didn't know about his ears" and proceeded to assess them. E9 stated she measured the left ear, but didn't measure the right ear "because it wasn't open. It was just dry and scabby." Measurements documented on the back of the treatment sheet dated 1//19/12 indicates the Right buttock was 4cm (centimeter) x 1cm and 26 cm x 0.5cm. The right ear ulcer measured 2cm x 0.5cm. There is no measurements for the left ear. No additional information is present that includes a description of the ulcers that reflects the slough and bleeding observed on the larger ulcer, and no stages were identified. E9 notified the physician and received orders for the buttock wound and right ear. The treatment sheet includes an order for [REDACTED]."

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure adequate hydration through tube feedings and flushes for 3 of 4 residents (R1, R2, R5) reviewed for tube feedings in a sample of 7. This failure resulted in R5 being admitted to the hospital for dehydration [MEDICAL CONDITION]. Findings include: 1. The Minimum Data Set ((MDS) dated [DATE] identifies R5 to be totally dependent on staff for all activities of daily living (ADL's). The MDS also indicates R5 has a gastrostomy tube, is vent dependent, and has a urinary catheter. The MDS indicates R5 has severe cognitive impairment. The care plan dated 8/4/11 identifies R5 requires tube feedings with goals to meet his hydration needs and maintain his weight within 5% by next review documented as being 11/4/11. Interventions indicate staff are to follow physician's orders [REDACTED].), and position at 30 degrees minimum. The care plan does not reflect any weight loss. The weight record indicate R5 has had weight loss with his admission weight recorded as 257.9 pounds on 5/5/11; on 7/29/11 he weighed 225.8; on 8/19/11 he weighed 245.7; and on 9/6/11 he weighed 226 pounds. The Registered Dietician's (RD), E23, Note on admission had feedings set at 60cc/hr and flushes at 120cc every 4 hours. On 6/24/11, a dietary manager's note written by E3, Dietary Manager,documents "no dietary changes. TF (tube feeding)/flush order same." On 6/24/11, an RD note documented "wt (weight) (decreased), fluids do not meet needs but may not tolerate ^ (increase). Will suggest and monitor. Concur c (with) goal and plan." On 7/13/11, the RD assessment documents "6/28/11 flush ^ to 250cc q (every) 4 hours. Tube feeding the same." R5's weight is documented as 222.7 pounds. On 7/29/11, the RD again documents to increase R5's flushes to 250cc q 4 hours. R5 was not reviewed again by the RD until 8/4/11 and no weekly weights are recorded and no additional interventions toward preventing further weight loss is noted. On 9/12/11, R5 was readmitted to the facility following a hospitalization for pneumonia. His tube feeding was ordered at 60cc/hour with 120cc flushes. An RD note dated 9/14/11 reflects the tube feeding at 60cc/hour with water flushes at 120cc every hours. The note states readmission weight "to be clarified." R5 did not have weekly weights done following his readmission. The next entry by the RD is 10/14/11. Calculating intake for feedings at 60cc/hr, 12 hours shifts would be 720cc with flushes every 4 hours being 360cc per 12 hour shift. The I&O sheets for the feeding and flushes from 9/12/11 to 9/26/11 are inconsistently documented with many blanks. There is no intake documented on 9/12/11. On 9/13/11 for the 7a-7p shift, 480cc is documented under "ORAL" even though R5 is NPO (nothing by mouth.) and 861cc for "OTHER." On 9/14/11, 240cc is documented for 3-11 shift, 491cc for feeding but has no documentation for the rest of the day. 9/15 has 240cc/flush for 7p to 7a, 570cc/feeding with 7a-7p 480cc and 936cc/feeding. On 9/16/11 7p-7a, R5 is recorded as getting 240 cc flush and 580cc feeding with nothing recorded for 7a-7p shift. On 9/17/11, 7p-7a has 240cc recorded for flush and 500cc feeding, 7a-7p has 360cc recorded for flush and 702cc recorded for feeding. On 9/18/11, 7a-7p 408cc flush, 1330cc feeding and 7p-7a 240cc flush with 570cc feeding. From 9/19/11 through 9/25/11, documentation is absent for 6 of 15 shifts. According to nurses notes dated 9/26/11 at 2:30pm, R5 was sent to the emergency room after staff "noted decreased alertness, increased blood sugars for 2 days and rapid progression of a sacral decubitus." He was admitted with dehydration,[MEDICAL CONDITION] and numerous pressure ulcers/wounds that included extreme excoriation and open wound surrounding the [MEDICAL CONDITION] tube ([DEVICE]) insertion site. The care plan shows no revisions to R5's interventions toward fluid intake/dehydration and/or weight maintenance since 5/26/11 despite his continued weight loss. On 11/1/11 at 2pm, E15, LPN, stated she worked with R5 on 9/24, 9/25 and 9/26 on 7am to 7pm shift. E15 stated she didn't know why she didn't document R5's intake for 9/23/11 but clears the pump and writes the amount down that is on the pump. The ORAL intake is the section she documents the flushes in. E15 stated R5 had no vomiting and/or diarrhea in the days prior to his hospitalization . On 10/5/11, R5 was readmitted to the facility. His admission weight was recorded as 230.6 pounds although his weekly weight was recorded as 199.3. On 11/1/11, R5's weight was 196.4. On 10/7/11 at 10:52am, R5's [MEDICATION NAME] 1000cc bag was hanging with 500cc left. The pump was running at 60cc/hour. The bag was not labeled. R5's mouth was in need of oral care as he had white substance in the roof of his mouth with sores evident. Lips were dry and peeling. At 10:54am, E21, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated she did not know when the bag of [MEDICATION NAME] was hung. R5's [DEVICE] site was noted to have no open sores evident but dark brown crusted substance underneath it. E21 stated "It just needs to be cleaned." On 10/28/11 at 1:30pm, E23, RD stated she bases all her feedings on 23 hour infusion. E23 stated no weekly weights were done until R2's last hospitalization . E23 stated she will look at the intake sheets occasionally and last saw R5 on 10/14/11. R5 was readmitted on [MEDICATION NAME] 60cc/hr and 250cc flush with med pass. The RD note dated 10/14/11 indicates R5's weights "fluctuate". On 10/12/11, an order to increase R5's flushes to 250cc with every med pass and every 4 hours was given. E23, RD, acknowledged on 10/28/11 at 1:30pm that the med passes would be every 4 hours so essentially, his flushes were not increased. As of 11/2/11, R5's care plan had not been revised to reflect any changes since 5/26/11. 2. The MDS dated [DATE] identifies R2 to be totally dependent on staff for all activities of daily living. The MDS indicates R2 is vent dependent, has a [DEVICE], and has a urinary catheter. According to the monthly weight records, R2's weight is stable around 184 pounds. The physician's orders [REDACTED]. The POS also includes an order "cleanse tube daily c (with) soap and H2O." The TARs also reflect this order to be done by evening staff. On 10/5/11 at 1pm, R2's tube feeding was running via a pump at 60cc/hour. He had 150cc left in his bottle of 1000cc. The bottle was labeled hung at 1pm on 10/4/11. According to calculations, R2's tube feeding was off by 275cc. R2 also was noted to have peeling skin on his tongue, inner cheeks with mucus membranes being dry, lips peeling. The pump was soiled with formula. R2's [DEVICE] site had dried dark red crusty drainage present under it with some moisture noted at the inner area.
