F761E · No harm, potential for more than minimal, pattern

Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to a.) ensure expired medications and fiber fortified formula were removed from 1 of 2 medication rooms b.) ensure expired medications were removed from 2 of 4 medication carts and c.) ensure medications were properly labeled and dated in 1 of 4 medication carts reviewed for medication storage and labeling.Finding Include:On 08/19/25 at 09:53 AM the Second Floor Short End Medication Cart was reviewed with V9 (Registered Nurse). R98's Erythromycin 0.5 % eye ointment and Azelastine HCL 0.05% 1 drop both eyes Twice a day was observed in the medication card drawer with an open date of 05/11/25 and expiration date of 06/07/25 written on the boxes. V9 stated they should have been discarded. They were opened on 05/11/25 and expired 06/07/25. R174's lispro insulin multi dose vial was observed in the medication cart drawer with an open date of 07/21/25 and a discard date of 08/18/25. Surveyor asked V9 the dates that were written on the insulin vial label. V9 responded, 07/21/25 and it look like a 6 for 06/18/25. I guess it's an 8. The medications should have been removed from the medication cart drawer. If the resident receives expired medications, there is a potential they could have adverse side effects.On 08/19/25 at 12:38 PM the Fourth Floor Medication Room was reviewed with V10 (Registered Nurse). One open box with an undated vial of Tuberculin Purified Derivative Mantoux 5 tu (tuberculin units) 0.1 ml intradermal was observed in the refrigerator. V10 stated the tuberculin is good for 30 days from the date when it was opened. Ten 8-ounce cartons of Osmolyte 1.5 cal. With an expiration date of 09/24 was observed on a shelf in the medication room. V10 stated we use it in the g (gastric) tube, and we discard them when they expire. If a resident receives the Osmolyte they will probably get an upset stomach.On 08/21/25 at 10:47 AM the 1st floor medication cart was reviewed with V12 (Licensed Practical Nurse) R19's Basaglar insulin pen was observed in the medication cart drawer with no name or dated and R19's Aspart insulin flex pen was observed in the medication cart drawer with no open date. V12 stated they should have been labeled when they were opened, to know when we opened it and to know when we should discard it.

V12 then removed the Lantus insulin vial from the box and placed it in the sharp's container.On 08/21/25 at10:02 AM V3 (Director of Nursing) stated for the Tuberculin they supposed to be labeling the PPD (Purified Protein Derivative) when they open it with an open date so they can properly discard it. Outside of the discard date it is a medication error, but I am not sure if it causes any adverse reactions. I will take a look. I don't know why the Cartons of Osmolyte were there. There are no residents on that floor that is on Osmolyte. If the Osmolyte is expired, it should not be there. There is a potential adverse reaction-like diarrhea, and I already started education. My expectations for the Insulin Multi Dose Vial are that it has an open and expiration date. If it is past the expiration date, we should remove the vial and we should not be using the vial that is expired. Most insulin is good for 28 days once opened. If used after the discard date, there is a potential that the medication will not be as effective. Eye Drops with an open date of 05/11/25 and a discard date of 06/07/25 should have been removed because the Erythromycin eye ointment was completed and expired. The Azelastine eye drops should have been removed because it was expired. There is a potential that the eye ointment and eye drops would not work the same way and could irritate R98's eyes.Email presented to the surveyor on 08/21/25 11:22 AM document in part: Please see attached requested package insert for Tubersol solution.

Findings include:On 08/19/2025 at 11:53 AM, observed R118 lying in bed wearing splints to right and left hands with finger deformities. Some of R118's fingertips appear to be bent backwards. Observed call light switch on the wall attached to a string and the end of the string was tied around a large stuffed thick circular object toy and the toy was located behind and above R118's shoulder. Observed R118's cell phone on her over the bed table turned upside down with a red plastic stand attached to the back of her phone. R118's phone was out of R118's reach. On 08/19/2025 at 11:56 AM, R118 stated due to the arthritis in her hands she cannot reach the call light where it is right now. R118 stated that the staff added the large stuffed toy to the end of the call light string to help her access the call light, but the object is too thick and heavy for her to be able to move it. R118 said, I don't have the strength to move it and pull it hard enough to push down the call light switch. R118 stated because of this she has been having to pull the call light cord using her mouth because that is the only way she can move the string hard enough to activate the call light. R118 said, having to put that call light string in my mouth is nasty because it is dirty. R118 stated the staff is aware of the problem and they have not tried any other type of call light device for her to use. R118 stated this has been an issue for approximately six months. R118 stated she has a cell phone, but she is no longer able to make calls using her cell phone because of her fingers which are deformed from arthritis.

V3 stated that residents date of service on their personal fund does not match date of service on their signed form. V3 said It should match, I know what you mean. R2 date has like a month difference. V3 said that moving forward, the facility needs to improve their auditing on personal funds, that is why V11 (Business Manager) is there. V15 (Admission Assistant) will help V11. V3 was asked why there are charges that were signed by V4 as a witness without the signature of resident.

V4 was also asked about R8's haircut and whether or not R8 agrees to pay for his haircut through his personal fund. V4 stated, R8 can give consent to get a haircut, but I am not sure if he can give consent that it will be deducted to his account. V4 stated that R8's friend knows that he will get a haircut. But she did not say to R8's friend that it will be deducted to R8's account (resident funds). Both R5 and R8 has a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) of six (6) that indicates both R5 and R8 have severe cognitive impairment.

On 01/16/2025, at 3:15 PM, with V2 (Director of Nursing) and V3 (Assistant Administrator). V3 was made aware of R5 and R8's inability to give consent on charges of resident fund accounts due to their limitation of cognition having a BIMS score of 6. V4 was signing as a witness to charge R5 and R8 on their resident funds. V3 stated that it will be hard for R5 and R8 to see other residents having haircuts and they are not given the same. V3 was made aware that it is not the haircut or the charges on the haircut in question. But the fact that it was charged to R5 and R8's resident fund because there are many modes of payment besides charging resident funds. Residents that are not able to give consent due to limitation of cognition have representatives or family members that can provide consent. V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that she understood because it is a common practice like getting consent to start psychotropic medication or getting consent for vaccination. Resident Trust Fund Policy dated 08/11/2011, reads: The purpose is for the facility to hold, safeguard, manage, and account for the personal funds of the resident deposited with the facility.

Facility policy dated 05/2015, titled Fall Management documents in part, Policy statement: Based on previous evaluations and current data, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and try to minimize complications from falling. 4. For residents who have been identified at risk for falls upon admission, a care plan shall be developed which includes the resident and/or his/her family input for interventions that have or have not worked in the past. Additional interventions will be developed to promote a safe environment. The resident's individual needs for staff assistance will be assessed. Then the resident will be placed on the fall prevention program. On 08/10/2024 at 9:59AM, surveyor located on the 1st floor of the facility and observes V10 (Activity Aide) inside of the 1st floor dining room with several residents located in the dining room. Surveyor also observes an opened glass door that leads to the first floor patio adjacent to the 1st floor dining room. Surveyor observes five residents on the patio smoking and not being supervised by staff members. V10 states she is currently responsible for monitoring the residents who are smoking outside on the patio and she is responsible for monitoring the residents inside the dining room for activities and hydration. On 08/10/2024 at 10:01AM, surveyor and V10 now located outside on the 1st floor smoking patio. R4 enters the 1st floor smoking patio with two cigarettes (one behind his left ear and one in his hand) and a light green cigarette lighter in his possession. R4 observed lighting his own cigarette, places the lighter in his pocket, and begins to smoke his cigarette. Surveyor makes V10 aware of this observation and inquires to V10 about the protocol for smoking and safe smoking practices. V10 states she also observed R4 and R4 is not allowed to possess his own smoking materials and all smoking materials should be kept by the facility. V10 is now observed asking R4 to give her possession of the light green lighter that R4 placed inside of his pocket. V10 states R4 resides on the third floor of the facility so she is not sure how R4 got possession of his own smoking materials. V10 suggest that sometimes R4's family comes to visit him in the facility and brings R4 items and maybe R4's family brought cigarettes for R4 and did not tell anyone in the facility. V10 states there is potential that a resident can start a fire, get burned, and hurt themselves if a resident who is not allowed to possess their own smoking materials gets access to smoking materials. On 08/10/2024 at 10:13AM, V10 observed exiting the 1st floor dining room and leaving the smoking bin unlocked and unattended. Surveyor observes the blue, transparent, plastic bin labeled 5.92 quarts with cigarettes and lighters inside of the blue bin. Blue bin has a plastic cover on it and is observed left on a table inside of the 1st floor dining room with several residents observed sitting down in the first floor dining room. V10 enters the dining room and surveyor makes V10 aware of the smoking bin being left unlocked and unattended. V10 then states a resident could have potentially grabbed the bin and obtained access to the smoking materials. On 08/10/2024 at 10:15AM, V11 observed on the first floor smoking patio sitting in a chair. V11 states she is responsible for monitoring the residents who are smoking. V11 states she was not initially outside on the first floor smoking patio monitoring the residents during their smoke break because she was located on another floor of the facility performing showers for the residents. V11 states that there should be someone outside with the residents at all times to monitor them while they are smoking. On 08/10/2024 at 10:22AM, surveyor located on the first floor nurses station and observes the blue smoking bin behind the nurses station on the counter unlocked and unattended. V9 (Registered Nurse/RN) now located at the 1st floor nurses station and observes the blue smoking bin. V9 takes the blue lid off of the smoking bin and acknowledges that the smoking bin is unlocked and was not attended by anyone. V9 states a resident could have taken the cigarettes, began smoking them, and they could have started a fire. V9 states the smoking bin should not be left unlocked and unattended. On 08/10/2024 at 12:10PM, V12 (Social Services Director) states each social worker assigned to a floor is responsible for completing their own smoking assessment for the residents. V12 states the smoking assessments should be performed quarterly and annually, or if with a change in condition. The smoking assessment should include the designated areas to smoke, if the resident is a safe smoker, if the resident is allowed to have their own smoking materials and light their own cigarette, and if they need an apron to prevent smoking hazards. V12 states the staff members in the activities department are responsible for dispersing the resident's smoking materials and lighting their cigarettes. V12 states if a staff member notices that a resident is in possession of smoking materials, then they have to confiscate it immediately. V12 states then the social services staff educate the resident and explain the risks involved with handling their own smoking materials. V12 states R4 is not allowed to have possession of his own smoking materials or lighter. V12 states if R4 is in possession of his own smoking materials and lighter, then R4 could potentially smoke at undesignated times and in undesignated places in the facility. V12 states this could potentially cause a fire in the facility and residents could be injured. V12 states this could also cause an explosion if R4 smokes around residents with oxygen tanks. On 08/10/2024 at 12:20PM, surveyor and V12 reviews R4's smoking risk assessment dated [DATE] and V12 states R4 is supposed to have a smoking risk score. V12 states she does not see a smoking risk score on R4's assessment. V12 states R4's smoking risk assessment does not provide the required information to be included in a smoking risk assessment. V12 states since the information is missing, then R4's smoking risk assessment dated [DATE] is not complete and is not accurate. V12 states the purpose of the smoking risk assessment is to provide full detailed information about resident's smoking abilities, their risk score, where they can smoke, and if they can have their own smoking materials. R4's care plan dated 07/31/2024 documents in part, R4 is a smoker. He has been educated on the negative consequences of continued smoking due to his medical condition. R4 will not smoke without supervision through the review date. R4 will not suffer injury from unsafe smoking practices through the review date. Educate R4 about smoking risks and hazards and about smoking cessation aids that are available. Instruct R4 about the facility policy on smoking: locations, times, and safety concerns. R4 requires SUPERVISION while smoking. Notify the charge nurse immediately if it is suspected R4 has violated facility's smoking policy. R4's smoking risk assessment dated [DATE] only documents that R4 smokes tobacco. On 08/11/2024 at 10:10AM, V10 (Activity Aide) observed standing on the first floor patio while residents smoke. On 08/11/2024 at 10:08AM, V10 walks inside of the facility and away from the smoking patio. R5 then observed with a cigarette in her hand and R5 walks up to R6 while R6 is smoking his own cigarette and R5 is observed lighting her cigarette from R6's prelit cigarette. On 08/11/2024 at 10:10AM, V18 (CNA) walks onto the first floor patio and states that she will now be monitoring the first floor patio. On 08/11/2024 at 10:17AM, while V18 is outside on the first floor smpking patio, R6 then observed with a cigarette in his hand and R6 walks up to R7 while R7 is smoking his own cigarette and R6 is observed lighting his cigarette from R7's prelit cigarette. V18 states residents are not supposed to light their cigarettes with another resident's cigarette because it can cause a fire. On 08/11/2024 at 10:25AM, V10 states R7 smokes but R7 is blind and unable to see and V10 has explained to R5 and R6 that they are not allowed to light their own cigarettes from another resident's cigarette. On 08/11/2024 at 9:51AM, surveyor located on the third floor of the facility and observes that five resident rooms have signs on their doors labeled Oxygen in use. Facility policy, dated 11/09/2023, titled Smoking Policy documents in part, Policy: All residents smoking materials will be kept by the facility. Purpose: To provide a healthy and smoke safe environment for all residents, employees and visitors.7. All residents will be under supervision while smoking. A. Smoking monitors will hold lighters for ignition of cigarettes. 8. Smoking material will be kept under facility staff control. Residents are not allowed to have any smoking materials in their possession. This includes lighters, cigarettes, cigars, loose tobacco, rolling papers, chewing tobacco, pipes, and loose pipe tobacco.

F686G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to provide timely incontinence care to prevent MASD (Moisture Associated Skin Damage), failed to document skin integrity impairment, failed to obtain timely treatment orders, and failed to offload wounds for one of three residents (R2) reviewed for pressure ulcers. These failures resulted in R2 incurring (facility acquired) stage 4 sacrum pressure ulcer (with bone exposed), osteomyelitis secondary to infection, fractured S5 vertebra - in the setting of osteomyelitis, pain rated 5/10, and severe sepsis. The facility also failed to follow physician orders, failed to ensure that dressings were changed daily, failed to prevent MASD, and failed to offload wounds for R1. These failures resulted in R1 incurring a stage 4 sacrum wound with undermining (extensive damage beneath the skin surface). Findings include: On (11/27/23) IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) received allegations that R2 is being left in urine/feces contributing to wound development. R2 is not repositioned timely (> 2 hours). R2's dressing is not being changed on a consistent basis; on weekends the dressing is left soiled. R2 is complaining of back being broken. R2's diagnoses include dementia, mild protein-calorie malnutrition, type II diabetes mellitus, transient ischemic attack, and adult failure to thrive. R2's (11/2/23) BIMS (Brief Interview Mental Status) determined a score of 6 (severe impairment). R2's (11/2/23) functional assessment affirms 1 to 2 staff are required for toileting, turning and repositioning. R2's (5/30/23) care plan states resident is at risk for pressure ulcer development related to impaired mobility, incontinence, and history of pressure ulcer. Intervention: Resident needs assistance to turn/reposition at least every 2 hours, more often as needed or requested. R2's (11/14/23) POS (Physician Order Sheets) include sacrum: clean with wound cleanser, apply medihoney, cover with foam dressing. Change daily and as needed. R2's progress notes include (11/13/23) dressing was changed, area above buttocks (exact location, wound description, wound stage, wound drainage, and/or wound measurements are excluded). (11/26/23) PRN (as needed) medication given 5/10 pain in buttocks. (11/29/23) Medical doctor ordered Levaquin (Antibiotic) 500 milligrams daily for 10 days due to elevated white blood cell count. (12/1/23) Resident's wound observed with a foul smell during dressing. Doctor ordered to send resident to hospital for wound evaluation. Resident admitted for sepsis at hospital. On 12/18/23, surveyor requested R2's initial wound assessment and the wound assessment prior to (12/1/23) hospital transfer. Surveyor received R2's (11/16/23) wound assessment which affirms (facility acquired) MASD. Classification: incontinence. Date identified: 11/16/23 however the (11/13/23) progress note affirms a wound was present 3 days prior. R2's (11/29/23) sacrum wound assessment affirms pressure ulceration (stage 4). Wound deteriorated, increased in size, undermining present. Peri wound with dark discoloration, mild odor present. R2's (November 2023) TAR (Treatment Administration Record) affirms sacrum treatments were documented 11/14/23 (2 days prior to initial wound assessment). R2's (12/1/23) history & physical states patient presents to the emergency department for sacral wound evaluation from the nursing home. [NAME] blood cell count 12.1 (High). Patient appears to have infected sacral wound, concern for underlying osteomyelitis. Sacral wound with exposed muscle. Pelvis CT (Computed Tomography) with signs of acute osteomyelitis. Fracture at S5 vertebra cannot exclude pathologic fracture - in the setting of osteomyelitis. Sacral decubitus ulcer coursing to the coccyx and inferior most sacrum. Of note a portion of the skin ulceration tunnels within the subcutaneous fat approximately 3 centimeters superiorly posterior to the upper coccyx and lower sacrum. There are some thin fluids within the ulceration and adjacent edema/cellulitis. Diagnosis: Severe sepsis. Sacral ulcer acute. Sacral osteomyelitis acute. On 12/18/23 at 11:17am, surveyor inquired about R2's (11/13/23) dressing change which was documented in the progress notes. V22 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, The CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) told me the dressing was coming off and asked me to change it. She (R2) had a wet to dry (dressing) already on, I just put a new bandage back on. Surveyor inquired if R2 had treatment orders (on 11/13/23). V22 responded, We don't need orders for a wet to dry dressing. Surveyor inquired about the appearance of R2's (11/13/23) wound. V22 replied, I don't remember. On 12/18/23 at 12:24pm, surveyor inquired if physician orders are required for wound treatments. V15 (Wound Care Nurse) stated, A physician order is always required for wound treatment, for all wound treatment we do require physician order. Surveyor inquired when R2's skin integrity impairment was identified. V15 reviewed the electronic records and responded, On November 13 it was an area of moisture skin damage and then on the 16 it deteriorated and became stage 2 pressure sore. Before she was sent out (12/1/23) it was debrided by wound care doctor and stage 4. Surveyor inquired what causes MASD. V15 replied, Contact with urine is moisture. She (R2) had a very fragile skin, and she is incontinent. Surveyor inquired what causes dark discoloration of the peri wound. V15 stated, Pressure. Surveyor inquired what causes a stage 4 wound. V15 responded, Pressure and moisture all together plus not just that also different factors; it's a process of repositioning and history of pressure ulcer that also contributing to stage 4. Surveyor inquired what causes undermining. V15 replied, Pressure, in her (R2) case undermining was created when doctor debrided the wound. Pressure, plus moisture, plus the wound itself all together that's how her (R2) wound developed. Surveyor inquired what an odorous wound is indicative of. V15 stated, Infection. Surveyor inquired what causes osteomyelitis. V15 responded, Infection of the bone. Surveyor inquired about the appearance of R2's wound prior to 12/1/23 hospital transfer. V15 stated, It was deep, it was all the way up to the bone after debridement. __ On 11/13/23, IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) received allegations that R1 is not provided appropriate wound care and bed sores are deteriorating. R1's diagnoses include dementia, type II diabetes mellitus, end stage renal disease, dependence on dialysis, and pressure ulcer. R1's (11/1/23) BIMS determined a score of 5 (severe impairment). R1's (11/1/23) functional assessment affirms resident requires maximal assistance with turning/repositioning and 1-2 person assist with toileting. Upper extremity impairment (one side) and lower extremity impairment (both sides) was also noted. R1's care plan includes (10/17/23) resident is at risk for pressure ulcer development related to immobility, incontinence, type II diabetes mellitus, and failure to thrive. (11/20/23) readmitted with unstageable (coccyx/left buttock) pressure ulcers. R1's POS includes (11/20/23) skin check every shift. Turn and reposition in bed every 2 hours and as needed. Utilize foam wedges or pillow to offload pressure areas. Apply zinc oxide cream to buttocks, sacrum and perineal area every shift after incontinence care. (11/29/23) Sacrum: clean with wound cleanser, apply medihoney, pack open areas with calcium alginate, cover with foam dressing. Change daily and as needed. R1's (11/20/23) wound assessments include the following (present on admission) coccyx (unstageable) pressure ulceration. Tissue types: 40% epithelial, 15% bright pink, 45% slough loosely adherent. 4.5 x 2.5 x 0.2cm (centimeters). Left buttock (unstageable) pressure ulceration. Tissue type: slough loosely adherent 100%. 2.5 x 2.0 x 0.2cm. R1's (11/30/23) wound assessment states pressure ulcer at coccyx and left buttock are connected with undermining and therefore recalcified by wound care nurse practitioner as one wound with location at sacrum. R1's (12/7/23) sacrum wound assessment states (stage 4). Tissue types: bright beefy red 80%, slough loosely adherent 20%. 6.0 x 5.0 x 2.0cm (increased in size). On 12/12/23 at 2:07pm, R1 was lying in bed and on his back therefore the sacral wound was not off loaded. Surveyor inquired about R1's wounds. V5 (Licensed Practical Nurse) responded, I know the wound care nurse (V15) just changed his dressings and his pouch (re: colostomy) about 10, 15 minutes ago. V16 (Family) at bedside also affirmed R1's dressing was just changed. V5 removed R1's incontinence brief (as requested) and his right hip was covered with a red rash. V5 stated, He's got a rash and it's probably from the diaper, it's too tight or if it's not changed often. A (4 x 4) border dressing (dated 12/12) observed on R1's sacrum appeared clean, dry and intact. V5 removed R1's border dressing (as requested) the small open area (between the buttocks) had no treatments and/or dressing atop of the wound. The large open area on R1's right buttock appeared to be packed with a dressing however the dressing (outside the wound) had dried sangeunous drainage and was adhered to R1's skin. Surveyor inquired if the dressing packed in R1's wound appeared as if it was just changed. V5 stated, No, the dressing says 12/12 but it doesn't seem like it. It shouldn't be dry; it should be fresh. If it's open or tunneling (referring to the wounds) it should be honey or something like that and it looks dry. Surveyor inquired if a dry dressing promotes wound healing. V5 stated, No, it has no purpose. On 12/12/23 at 2:20pm, surveyor inquired about R1's treatment orders. V15 (Wound Care Nurse) stated, He has daily medihoney, calcium alginate and a dry dressing. Every morning calcium alginate and medihoney goes directly to the wound bed. Medihoney and/or zinc oxide were not present on R1's skin and or inside the border dressing. Surveyor requested to see R1's treatments. V15 responded, We don't keep them separately; we have a house supply that we use. V15 opened the treatment cart and presented wound cleanser (with R1's name), border dressings and calcium alginate. Surveyor inquired where R1's medihoney was located. V15 replied, Medihoney? I used the last, it was just a little bit left. So now Im gonna open a new one however medihoney was not available on the treatment cart at this time. R1's (December 2023) TAR (Treatment Administration Record) affirms on Saturday (12/9/23) (daily) sacrum treatments were not documented. On 12/14/23 at 2:34pm, surveyor relayed concerns regarding facility staff not following treatment orders and/or changing dressings daily as ordered. V21 (Medical Director) stated, Nursing have to take care of the patients, they have to do a better job. Surveyor inquired about potential harm to resident wounds if treatments are not followed and/or not administered daily (as ordered). V21 responded, It can get infected and make it worse. The prevention of pressure ulcer policy (revised 1/2019) states; assess the resident on admission (within 8 hours) for existing pressure ulcer/injury risk factors. Repeat the risk assessment weekly for the first 4 weeks, then quarterly and upon any changes in condition. CNA's will inspect the skin on a daily basis when performing or assisting with personal care or ADL's. Select appropriate pressure reducing support surfaces based on resident's mobility, continence, skin moisture and perfusion, body size, weight, and overall risk factors. Evaluate, report and document potential changes in the skin. If the resident refused the care, document the reason why and notify the supervisor.

F689G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure (R3's) functional assessment was accurate, failed to ensure staff use proper and/or appropriate transfer techniques, failed to implement and/or revise fall care plan interventions, failed to provide supervision, and failed to obtain a timely x-ray for one of three residents (R3) reviewed for falls/IOUO (Injuries of Unknown Origin). These failures resulted in R3 sustaining acute fractures of the left lateral 7th through 9th ribs (identified 12/2/23) and pain rated 3/10. The facility also failed to implement the falls management policy, failed to document (R4's) fall, failed to notify (R4's) family/physician immediately and failed to conduct daily skin assessments. These failures resulted in R4 sustaining a large bruise to the right arm (identified 12/11/23 - by the State surveyor). Findings include: R3's diagnoses include dementia, abnormal posture, difficulty walking, transient ischemic attack, and generalized muscle weakness. The fall log affirms R3 fell on [DATE] and 11/12/23. R3's (11/12/23) incident report states informed by CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) that resident was on the floor. Resident observed lying on the floor next to his bed with feces and urine. Resident has right side weakness due to previous stroke. No witnesses found. [R3's November 2023 pain assessments affirm pain level was rated 0 post fall]. R3's progress notes state (11/30/23) staff reported resident was unable to get up this morning due to painful area on his abdomen and chest on left side. Nurse Practitioner made aware, order chest x-ray. [Nothing was documented 11/23/23 through 11/29/23]. (12/2/23) Writer received call from hospital, resident has left lateral acute fracture on ribs 7, 8, and 9. (12/3/23) Resident noted with facial grimacing when care was being provided. PRN (as needed) medication was provided. (12/5/23) Resident noted with facial grimacing when care was being provided. PRN medication was provided. R3's (December 2023) pain assessments affirm pain level was rated 2-3. R3's (12/2/23) history & physical states patient presents to the emergency department for evaluation of a possible fall. Per EMS (Emergency Medical Service) as well as by patient, patient fell about a week ago last Saturday (11/25/23) when he was walking, lost his balance, fell towards the side and hit a table, landing over the table with his (left) side rib cage. Patient has more pain over the left side when he moves. Mild tenderness over the right lower rib cage. Worst tenderness over the left mid clavicular line lower ribcage as well as mid-axillary line. Tenderness over torso. He had too much pain with doing x-rays, given Fentanyl (Schedule II Narcotic) afterwards. On 12/13/23 at 9:51am, surveyor inquired about R3's rib fractures (identified 12/2/23). V1 (Administrator) stated, I believe he might have had an unwitnessed fall and maybe fell on the table. On 12/13/23 at 12:03pm, surveyor inquired about R3's (11/30/23) change in condition. V17 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, Staff reported to me that he was uncomfortable and then I went to see him (R3). I asked him (R3) you in pain? He said I don't know but he look uncomfortable and maybe were in pain. At that moment the Nurse Practitioner was there, and I can see he (R3) was no good and did not want to get up. He (Nurse Practitioner) order x-ray for the abdomen, chest and hip. I (V17) placed the order that day but I think it was the next day that they come and do the x-ray. Surveyor inquired if the x-rays were ordered STAT (on 11/30/23). V17 responded, Yes. Surveyor inquired about STAT turnaround time. V17 replied, Normally we call and say to the technician this is stat and they (technician) say we will be there as soon as possible they don't give the hour or anything like that. I remember I was calling to the x-ray and they don't answer two times. Surveyor inquired how R3 incurred an injury. V17 stated, He didn't tell me any because he doesn't look like he want to answer me. Surveyor inquired about R3's functional status. V17 responded, That day he was in a (Brand Name wheelchair) when I went to see him. They (Staff) told me he (R3) is not too stable they use a 2 or 3 people to get in the (Brand Name wheelchair). On 12/14/23 at 2:27pm, surveyor inquired about potential harm to a resident that has an unwitnessed fall. V21 (Medical Director) stated, To my knowledge we (facility staff) always report any fall and for any unwitnessed fall. We always send the patient to the emergency room for evaluation. They (residents) can have a broken bone, or they can have a bleeding in the head (a hematoma) so we always send them out. R3's (12/2/23) x-ray (obtained 2 days after pain was noted) affirms acute fractures of the left lateral 7th through 9th ribs. R3's (9/20/23) BIMS (Brief Interview Mental Status) determined a score of 7 (severe impairment). R3's (9/20/23) functional assessment states (1 person) physical assist is required for bed mobility and transfers however observation and interviews were incongruent with this assessment. R3's (12/15/22) care plan states resident is at risk of falls related to dementia, weakness, and history of falling. Interventions: one side rail placed for bed mobility and transfers. Educate on safe transfer technique, assist to bathroom as needed. Resident is able to toilet himself with one person assist. Monitor/report any changes (re: declines in function). On 12/11/23 at 12:05pm, R3 was observed (in the dining room) seated in a wheelchair, leaning towards the left side, and appeared uncomfortable. On 12/11/23 at 12:10pm, surveyor inquired when R3 was placed in the wheelchair. V8 (CNA) stated, We got him up like at 7:30(am), it took four of us (staff) to transfer him to the chair. Surveyor requested to inspect R3's incontinence brief. V7 (CNA) and V8 placed a gait belt on R3 (R3 has fractured ribs) and instructed him to stand however he (R3) was unable to do so. R3 was lifted from the chair and stated, Don't let me slip as his feet were sliding sideways on the floor. V7 and V8 proceeded to transfer R3 (instead of placing him back in the chair) and almost dropped him on the floor however his butt landed on the mattress (near the floor). R3 has a low bed made of PVC pipes which is unable to be raised and/or lowered to accommodate resident and/or staff during transfer. [R3's bed did not have side rails for bed mobility and/or transfers as stated on the care plan]. Surveyor inquired if R3 can walk. V8 stated, When I first started around 6 or 7 months ago but not now. You see we have difficulty at him holding up. Surveyor inquired if R3 is able to stand. V8 stated, No. Surveyor inquired if R3 is able to turn and/or reposition himself. V8 stated, No, he's totally care. V8 removed R3's brief which was moderately saturated with urine and contained a large bowel movement. V8 stated, He's wet and dirty. R3's (12/7/23) care plan states resident has fracture of multiple ribs of left side however supervision and/or additional fall prevention interventions (re: mechanical lift) are excluded. The accidents and incidents policy (revised 5/2015) states adequate supervision is defined by the type and frequency of supervision, based on the individual residents assessed needs and identified hazards in the resident environment. A systematic approach has been put in place to promote resident safety and reduce accident/incidents. This approach includes identification of hazards, implementation of interventions, and supervision. __ R4's diagnoses include dementia, lack of coordination, abnormalities of gait/mobility, and need for assistance with personal care. R4's (10/30.23) functional assessment affirms moderate assistance is required for dressing and maximal assistance is required for toileting. R4's (10/25/23) care plan states resident is at risk for falls related to history of falls, restlessness, and agitation. Interventions: be sure resident's call light is within reach. Ensure that resident is wearing appropriate footwear when ambulating. On 12/11/23 at 11:55am, R4 was lying in bed however the call light was on the floor and out of reach. Surveyor inquired about the location of R4's call light. V6 (CNA) stated, It's by the bed on the floor. Surveyor inquired if R4 could reach the call light. V6 responded, Not from this angle he couldn't. Surveyor observed a large bruise on R4's right arm and requested the assigned Nurse. V6 left the room (without assisting R4) and did not return. R4 sat up, put a pull-up on and walked (with slow, shuffled, unsteady gait) to the doorway (without socks and/or shoes). On 12/11/23 at 12:02pm, V4 (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) entered the room and assisted R4 to the bathroom. Surveyor inquired about the bruise on R4's arm. V4 responded, With the shoulder? He (R4) has a bruise over there, let me see and assessed the resident. Surveyor inquired how R4 sustained the bruise. V4 replied, I just came back from vacation and affirmed she was unsure. V4 accessed R4's EMR (Electronic Medical Records) and stated, There is no incident there, I don't see any incident put in risk management if we saw something like this (referring to R4's bruise). Nobody reported that he (R4) has a bruise. On 12/11/23, at 12:16pm, V4 (LPN) inquired how R4 sustained the bruise (R4 responded in Spanish). V4 affirmed A few days before, he (R4) remember a fall, that's what he tell me. On 12/14/23 at 12:40pm, surveyor inquired about R4's bruise. V1 (Administrator) stated, he (R4) told me that he fell and hit the wall with his arm when the CNA was taking care of the roommate. A a male Nurse had also gone into the room. We traced back to see who was working. The CNA (V20) stated, he (R4) was walking around the room bumped into the wall and slid down to the ground, she said he didn't fall. I asked the Nurse (V3) about the incident. He (V3) said, the CNA called me, I (V3) asked did he (R4) fall. She (V20) said, No. I (V1) said if he (R4) was on the floor and fell you (staff) have to do risk management. I had to educate them (V3, V20), if they (residents) crawl to the floor, you lower them to the floor, or they slide to the floor, you have to report it timely. Whoever witness the fall needs to report it to the nurse supervisor regardless of whether they witness it. The nurse needs to assess the resident, communicate with the doctor, and take orders if they (residents) need pain management or further evaluation. They (staff) have to document the incident report on the risk management on the computer. V20's (12/11/23) statement affirms R4 fell on [DATE] (5 days prior to IOUO investigation). The fall management policy (revised 5/2015) states any time a resident sustains a fall, a report of that occurrence is to be completed by the licensed nurse. The family and doctor will be notified of the occurrence. Documentation will support the monitoring, findings and actions taken. A separate accident/incident/unusual occurrence report is to be completed.

Based upon observation, interview and record review the facility failed to provide nursing care to (R6), failed to follow the abuse prevention program and failed to ensure that one of six residents (R3) in the sample remained free from abuse. R3 sustained (6/18/23) dislocated shoulder and affirmed that staff caused the injury. Findings include: On (6/20/23) IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) received allegations that on 6/18/23, R3's shoulder was dislocated by an unknown staff. R3's diagnoses include dementia without behavioral disturbance. R3's (5/8/23) BIMS (Brief Interview Mental Status) determined a score of 6 (severe impairment). R3's (5/8/23) functional assessment affirms (1 person) physical assist is required for bed mobility/locomotion. (2 persons) physical assist is required for transfers. On 6/20/23 at 1:26pm, surveyor inquired about R3's dislocated shoulder. V4 (Family) stated, I went to see him (R3) last Sunday (6/18/23) and as soon as I (V4) got off the elevator, I heard him (R3) yelling. When I (V4) went to the room there were 2 staff members in there, my dad (R3) said they hurt me and pointed at one of them (staff). I (V4) asked the guy (staff) did you do something to him (R3)? He (staff) said, I didn't touch him. My dad (R3) tells me, I can't even move my arm it hurts so bad. He (R3) was yelling, he was hurting when the guy (staff) moved his (R3) arm. I told the Nurse and all she did was give him (R3) Tylenol. He (R3) fell asleep, and I (V4) left. My brother (V11) went there (facility) a few hours later and said it doesn't even look like his (R3) shoulder was even, so he (V11) asked for him (R3) to be sent to the hospital. I called the facility, and they (staff) told me his (R3) shoulder was dislocated. R3's progress notes include (6/18/23) 5:00pm, resident visited by son (V11) with POA (Power of Attorney) on the phone, stated, the resident's (R3) right shoulder seemed injured and requested that the resident be sent to ER (emergency room ) for further evaluation. AROM (Active Range of Motion) assessed, resident incapable to move RUE (Right Upper Extremity). (6/19/23) Resident shoulder was dislocated and was placed back in hospital. On 6/20/23 at 2:08pm, R3 affirmed he speaks Spanish, therefore V5 (Certified Nursing Assistant) translated the conversation for R3. R3 responded appropriately during interview. Surveyor inquired about R3's dislocated shoulder. V5 stated, He (R3) says, somebody (staff) dislocated it, the black man. He (R3) says, he (staff) just held him from the arm and twisted it to one side. On 6/20/23 at 2:29pm, surveyor inquired about R3's dislocated shoulder. V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) stated, He (R3) did have a fall a week and a half, almost two weeks ago. When he (R3) did have the fall we sent him to the hospital, but he was not complaining about increased pain on the shoulder, they (hospital) only check if he hit his head or whatever. They (staff) sent him (to the hospital) Sunday night (6/18/23) because of increase pain in the shoulder. Surveyor advised, R3 stated staff dislocated his shoulder. V2 responded, This is my first time I (V2) heard this. Yesterday (6/19/23) that was not the case when I (V2) assess him (R3). He (R3) tries to get up on his own and tried to do things on his own then alleged that R3's dislocated shoulder was likely related to 6/6/23 fall (which occurred 12 days prior to injury) because he was taking pain medication. On 6/21/23 at 2:45pm, surveyor inquired about R3's (6/18/23) injury. V1 (Administrator) stated, We contributed it to his previous fall. When you (surveyor) interviewed him (R3) he was saying that someone twisted his arm. Surveyor inquired if staff were suspended. V2 responded, (V10 CNA/Certified Nursing Assistant) who was the CNA on Sunday was suspended yesterday (2 days after the injury). (R3) keeps going in his room and they (staff) try to keep him (R3) out of the room because he falls. I talked to (V10) to see if he (V10) touched R3 or he held him back with any type of force when transferring him. He (V10) said many times he (V10) would just put his arms out to like help him (R3) do a pivot transfer [R3 requires 2 persons assist with transfers] and he didn't complain of pain. He (V10) put the brakes on his (R3) chair, so he (R3) was holding on to the bed, and held onto it. I (V10) left him (R3) because he (R3) just keeps screaming and I (V10) don't want to have any concerns with him (R3). Surveyor inquired why R3's injury (of unknown origin) was not considered abuse. V1 replied, First we didn't know it was a dislocation, when I talked with (V2) she thought he (R3) fell recently and maybe it occurred at that time because he was requesting pain medication. R3's (6/6/23) incident report states resident was noted in the bathroom sitting on his buttock. Head to toe assessment perform with no visual injuries. Level of pain is blank. R3's (June 2023) Medication Administration Record affirms Tylenol was only documented on 6/9/23 for pain rated 3. R3's pain level was rated 0 (6/14/23 through 6/17/23) however on (6/18/23) R3's pain was rated 7 therefore likely not related to (6/6/23) fall. On 6/26/23 at 3:07pm, surveyor inquired about potential harm to other residents if an injury of unknown origin (allegedly caused by staff) is not addressed immediately. V1 replied, I seriously doubt that staff are hurting any resident. They (staff) should notify the attending and find out what they (physician) want to do and what course they want to take. The DON and the Nurses they always watch the patient and what's going on. If somebody's hurting residents let em go. We definitely need to do more watching just to see if anything of that nature happens so we can take action. __ R6's diagnoses include dementia and encounter for palliative care. R6's (5/3/23) BIMS affirms resident is rarely/never understood. R6's (5/10/23) care plan states resident has potential for abuse or neglect related to poor communication. Intervention: treat with dignity and respect. On 6/20/23 at approximately 2:15pm, R6 stated I don't feel well while surveyor was interviewing R3 (roommate). Surveyor immediately approached the Nurse's station and reported to V6 (Registered Nurse) that R6 was not feeling well. V6 subsequently entered R6's room and advised that R6's Nurse was currently off the floor. V6 then exited the room without inquiring why R6 was not feeling well, obtaining vital signs and/or offering any intervention. On 6/20/23 at 2:28pm, V2 (Director of Nursing) entered R6's room (as requested). Surveyor stated, R6 was not feeling well and V6 was made aware, however V6 neglected to address R6's concern. V2 advised she would look into it however also neglected to assess R6 at this time. R6's progress notes exclude (6/20/23) documentation. R6's physician order sheets exclude (6/20/23) orders. R6's (6/20/23) medication administration record affirms PRN (as needed) medications (Bisacodyl suppository, Lorazepam, Morphine, and/or Tylenol) were not administered. The (10/2022) abuse prevention program states in part this facility affirms the right of our residents to be free from abuse, neglect, deprivation of goods and services by staff or mistreatment. This will be done by: identifying occurrences and patterns of potential mistreatment. Identifying concerns of residents' allegation of deprivation of goods and services by staff. Immediately protecting residents involved in identified reports of possible abuse, neglect, and mistreatment The facility will take steps to prevent potential abuse while the investigation is underway. Employees of this facility who have been accused of abuse, neglect or mistreatment of resident will be removed from resident contact immediately.

V7 (LPN) stated, He's (R1) confused, definitely there's confusion but he's able to let you know if he's okay with short words. He (R1) just says yes or no. Surveyor inquired about R1's fall prevention interventions. V7 responded, He (R1) has a low bed, he has a mat to the side of the bed, he has a soft helmet and as soon as he wake up, we put him close to the nurses station to be supervised by staff. We also make rounds continuously. Surveyor inquired how R1 fell four (4) times (in the room) if staff put him close to the Nurse's station as soon as he woke up. V7 refrained from response. Surveyor inquired about R1's (4/2/23) injury .V7 reviewed the documentation and replied, Staff was telling me that this was open and immediately we had to send him to the hospital because there were 2 cuts on the (right) forehead.

On 6/21/23 at 12:03pm, surveyor inquired about appropriate fall prevention interventions for R1 if his falls were unwitnessed. V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, In the room, there was no supervision when he (R1) fell . We try to keep him (R1) monitored or at least do more frequent rounds with him when he's in the room. Surveyor inquired if R1's fall care plan includes moving resident closer to the nurse's station, frequent rounds and/or supervision. V2 affirmed, it does not. Surveyor inquired about R1's (4/23/23) injury. V2 responded, Resident (R1) has a laceration on the right forehead. I believe he (R1) came back with sutures. Surveyor inquired about R1's (6/7/23) injury. V2 replied, I saw that he had a small laceration on the right eyebrow, it opened again. They put sutures on that one. Surveyor inquired how R1 sustained (6/7/23) laceration (requiring 7 sutures) if a helmet was supposed to be implemented on or about 4/23/23. V2 stated, It's literally up to here (pointing at mid forehead) but every time that he (R1) fall (pause) he is tall, the body fall on the mattress, but the head hit the floor. Surveyor inquired if it's appropriate for R1 to reside in the facility. V2 stated, When it comes to his diagnosis yes, he does have dementia and he does have seizures he just gets very confused.

V13 replied, To my knowledge its mostly laceration. The fall management policy (revised 5/2015) states staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling. As a fall occurs the Nurse on duty will initiate a new intervention to prevent further falls. The plan of care will be updated at this time. The revisions to the fall of care will be monitored for effectiveness and adjustments made as needed.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed notify a resident's physician after resident's falls (R2); failed to ensure staff are aware of resident fall prevention interventions (R1); failed to implement fall prevention interventions for (R3). These failures affected (R1, R2, R3) reviewed for falls and resulted in: R2 being sent to hospital for evaluation of change in condition 14 days after falling. R2 was diagnosed with subdural hematomas (brain hemorrhages) subsequently expired. R1 fell and sustained left mandibular ramus fracture (lower jaw fracture). R3 fell and sustained a right humerus fracture (upper arm fracture) and intramuscular hematoma (bruise within the muscle). Findings include: 1) R2's medical record (Face Sheet) documents R2 is an [AGE] year-old admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including but not limited to: [CONDITION(S)] ([CONDITION(S)]), Dementia, Long Term (Current) Use of Aspirin, Cognitive Communications Deficit, Muscle Weakness, and Major Depressive Disorder. R2's MDS (Minimum Data Set, [DATE]) documents R2 is severely cognitively impaired and requires extensive assistance with all ADLs (Activities of Daily Living). Facility's initial incident report ([DATE]) documents R2 was sent to the hospital for evaluation due to resident change in condition. Diagnosis: Subdural Hematoma, Chronic. [DATE] at 1:35 PM, V7 (Licensed Practical Nurse-LPN) stated, she was the Nurse responsible for R2 at the time of both of R2's falls. I don't know if R2 had prior falls, but I received R2 as a fall risk. R2 kept trying to get out of bed. We were doing close monitoring. I assessed after each fall, there was no obvious injury. I notified V6 (Nurse Practitioner-NP) and family of each fall the only thing I can say is we did what we could. [DATE] at 1:12 AM, V5 (R2's Physician) stated: The patient should have gone out at that time (after first fall). I didn't find out until later (that) R2 had fallen. If I had been notified that (R2) had fallen I would have sent R2 to the hospital because the falls were unwitnessed and R2 has dementia (you don't know if resident hit head). I discussed the CT scan with the radiologist at the hospital. The subdural hematomas were chronic, and my interpretation is that they were there for at least two months. [DATE] at 3:45 PM, V6 (NP) stated: Honestly, it was 1:00 AM in the morning. They woke me up. I didn't send (R2) out. There was no bruising/pain. I heard about the subdural hematomas. I feel that they had them prior to admission to the facility. R2 was falling at home. I wish I would have sent (R2) out. I'm sure I let V5 (R2's Physician) know. R2's Death Certificate documents R2's cause of death as Complications of Intracranial Hemorrhages due to Fall.

I explained to (family member) in detail about the findings of the tests performed at (local hospital) on [DATE] including the diagnosis of subdural hematoma. According to the CT scan performed, subdural hematomas noted in (R2's) imaging were described as chronic. I also explained that subdural hematomas can occur even after a minor head injury and that the amount of bleeding can be small and develop over several weeks. This type of subdural hematoma is often seen in older adults. These may go unnoticed for many days to weeks until symptoms are more apparent. And that it (is) difficult to establish a clear-cut timeline for their onset. (Family member) verbalized understanding and was satisfied with our discussion. 2) R1's medical record (Face Sheet) documents R1 is an [AGE] year-old admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R1 has diagnoses including but not limited to: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ([CONDITION(S)]), History of Falling, [CONDITION(S)] Disorder, and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Facility's final incident report ([DATE]) documents in part, R1 sustained a fall inside their room resulting in a mandibular ramus fracture. Witness statements reveal that the resident has frequent behavior of playing with water all the time. R1's hospital record (Emergency Department Progress Note of [DATE]) documents R1 presented as trauma after ground-level fall at (Nursing Home). Found to have left mandibular fracture on imaging. On [DATE] at 9:58 AM, V8 (Registered Nurse-RN) stated, she was the nurse responsible for R1's when R1 fell on [DATE]. V8 stated R1 has a history of many recurrent falls and is known to play with water. V8 said they were doing rounds/passing medications and saw R1 was on the floor (in R1's), the water was on. V8 stated R1 could not tell V8 what happened but did tell V8 that R1 hit their head. When asked by Surveyor what fall interventions were in place for R1, V8 stated: I don't know. They're in the chart, in the Progress Notes but you would have to dig through a lot (of Progress Notes) to find them (interventions). On [DATE] at 2:48 PM, V4 (Restorative Nurse) stated, R1 is a fall risk with a history of prior falls, and behavior of playing with water (in hand sink in R1's room). V4 stated, residents' care plans are updated after each fall with interventions and staff are in-serviced. This information is kept in a binder on the units as well as the residents Kardex which is accessible to both Nurses and CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants). V4 stated it is their expectation that staff review this information if they were not present for in-service or have questions. On [DATE] at 2:22 PM, V12 (CNA) stated she was the CNA responsible for R1's care when R1 fell on [DATE]. V12 stated, R1 plays with water at night. I saw R1 playing with water (around 1:00 AM, hand sink in R1's room). I turned off the water and put R1 back to bed. At 2:30 AM, I saw R1 standing by the sink, the water was on and had overflowed (onto the floor). I turned the water off, put R1 back to bed, and went to get a towel (to mop up the water). When I came back, (R1) was lying on the floor. When asked by Surveyor what fall interventions were in place for R1, V12 stated, R1 is not a fall risk so you can't restrain them. V4 told me I should turn the water (intake valve under the sink) off. R1's at risk for falls care plan (undated) lists as an intervention Keep environment free from clutter with unobstructed paths and dry floors. It does not list an intervention to address R1's behavior of playing with water. 3) R3's medical record (Face Sheet) documents R3 is a [AGE] year-old admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including but not limited to: End Stage Renal Disease, Hypertension, [CONDITION(S)] Disease, and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. R3's MDS (Minimum Data Set of [DATE]) documents R3 is moderately cognitively impaired, requires extensive assistance for all ADLs (Activities of Daily Living), and has a history of falls. Facility's final incident report ([DATE]) documents R3 had an unwitnessed fall on [DATE] at approximately 6:50 PM from rolling out of bed resulting in a right humerus fracture. Hospital Record (Progress Notes of [DATE]) document R3 sustained a right humerus fracture and intramuscular hematoma after fall. [DATE] at 10:13 AM, V9 (Licensed Practical Nurse-LPN) stated: The CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) notified me that R3 fell out of bed. R3 was face down on the floor next to the bed. We assisted R3 back to bed. There was no obvious injury, no complaint of pain, R3 was unable to verbalize how (R3) fell . I assessed R3 and called the NP (Nurse Practitioner) who told me to send R3 out to the hospital for evaluation. R3 is a fall risk. When asked by surveyor what fall precautions were in place, V9 stated: there were no fall precautions in place at the time of the fall. R3 was in a different room, a room change had recently been made. So, I'm under the assumption that all of R3's equipment was not there. R3 needed side rails and floor mats. I lowered the bed to the lowest position and had my CNA make frequent rounds (every 30 minutes). [DATE] at 2:30 PM, V10 (CNA) stated they did not remember the resident. All residents at risk for falls should have floor mats and low bed. V10 stated most times I find out that a resident is a fall risk by their wrist band. R3's at risk for falls care plan documents M-rails (side rails that aid in repositioning and sitting up) were initiated on [DATE].

R1 was attempting to get up and he held him down with one hand to keep him from falling. V3 states he was not trying to hurt him, but was trying to keep him from falling. He did not realize that he was using too much force and was very sorry for any harm he may have caused. The facility determined that V3 did not have the intention to hurt R1 on 12/09/2020, during the shower, but the fact that he did not report the incident to his superiors is unacceptable. Abuse is substantiated. Progress note, dated 12/17/2020, R1 was observed grimacing when touching or moving his left arm, referral to therapy for evaluation. Pain medication given. V3 could not be contacted during this investigation. On 12/31/2020,at 10:48AM, V4 stated, If a resident is combative, we are not supposed to shower them. We are supposed are to ask for help by pulling the call light. Everyone knows this. We can scream and ask for help. There is always plenty of staff in the building and someone could come to help. I worked double shift, the day of the incident. It was in evening. V6 reported to me. She was changing the resident and she noticed the bruising on his left arm. I had to make an incident report and report immediately to V1 because R1 could not let us know what happened. When I assessed him, he was not grimacing in the face. He does not know how to express himself. Staff need to talk to him when he becomes combative. On 12/31/2020 at 11:06AM, V5 (CNA) stated, If a resident becomes combative during a shower I inform the nurse. I let the resident be or try to finish the shower. If the resident cannot say if he/she wants to finish the shower, hold the resident to make sure they do not fall. I need to report to the nurse. The importance of reporting to the nurse is if the resident falls, it will be documented. On 12/31/2020 at 11:52AM, V6 stated, About three weeks ago. I was providing care to R1. I was changing him and putting him to bed. In was in the process of changing him, I saw bruising on left hand. I called V4. She came immediately. If a resident becomes combative, I will leave them if they are comfortable. I will come back and then offer shower again. When they are friendlier and try to offer again. I cannot hold the resident down. I usually pull the alarm. If I cannot leave them alone, I will call for help. On 12/31/2020 at 12:01PM, V7 (Director of Nursing) stated, I expect the CNAs to report to nurses to get more assistance. Give the combative residents more time to be redirected. If they cannot be redirected, they need to get assistance from other staff. I do not expect my staff at any time to hold down residents. The resident could be injured unknowingly. Always give the resident space. Staff are supposed to pull the call light if a resident becomes combative. R1 is a dementia resident. He is confused. He can become combative. He is redirect-able. There is a risk of injury because we wouldn't know or the type of behavior. We would not be able to do any interventions for this residents. After this incident, have two CNAs assist when showering now as an intervention. On 12/31/2020 at 12:07PM, V1 stated, If abuse is substantiated, the employee is terminated. I have never had incidents involving V3. He was aware this happened and he did not report to anyone. He stated R1 was slipping and he did not want him to slip from chair. He stated he held him. I stated he used to much force. If a resident is combative, they need to use the call light and call for help. With the dementia residents, staff need to work with them when they are more at ease. The staff do know who is going to give him/ her a harder time. While reviewing the camera footage, I saw that R1 was resistant to showering. I told him not to come. V3 should have told us what occurred. Any incident as small as it is, need to be reported. I do not expect my staff to use force at any time. I would rather the resident to miss his shower to keep him safe. My responsibility to keep residents safe, staff follow the protocols, report to IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) right away while I gather information, and protect the resident. Also, get the staff involved out of the building. Interventions from R1's care plan include: approach in a friendly, calm manner, treat with respect and dignity, communicate with the resident regarding to his capabilities and needs, cue, reorient, and supervise as needed, monitor, document, report as needed any changes in cognitive function, specifically changes in: decision making ability, memory, recall and general awareness, difficulty expressing self, difficulty understanding others, level of consciousness and mental status. Facility Abuse Policy, dated 01/2017, notes abuse means any physical or mental injury inflicted upon a resident other than by accidental means in a facility. Abuse is the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. Employees are required to immediately report any occurrences of potential mistreatment they observe, hear about or suspect to a supervisor or the administrator or local police as soon as possible at the time of the occurrence.

Based on observations, record review, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure resident safety, by failing to adequately supervise a resident who was left unattended by facility staff during a resident transfer; failed to ensure that a resident transfer was conducted safely by trained facility staff; and failed to implement fall interventions to ensure resident safety. These facility failures, resulted in a fall related incident for 1 of 3 residents (R1), who sustained a thighbone fracture at the right knee, as a result of an improper transfer. Findings include: On 4/25/19, V1 (Administrator) presented documentation of a facility investigation of an incident involving R1. V1 stated, The psychologist tried to transfer (R1) and apparently couldn't hold her up, and one of my nurses came and helped to put her on the wheelchair. My DON did the investigation, but she's not here today. She'll be back tomorrow. Review of the incident reports included a facility investigation dated 4/12/19, and written by V2 (Director of Nursing) who documented, On 3/29/19 at about 10:30 AM, CNA (Certified Nurse's Aide) assisted resident to sit at side of bed. CNA went to get mechanical lift to transfer resident. Psychologist entered the room and attempted to transfer resident by himself to the wheelchair. The resident started to slip and called out. Nurse on the floor was in hallway, came in to room and assisted doctor to place resident in the wheelchair. Resident did not fall or touch the floor. On review of the diagnostic services results report dated 3/29/19, it was documented that R1 was found to have a Cortical [MEDICAL CONDITION] supracondylar region of the distal femur of the right knee. On 4/8/19, R1 was transferred from the nursing home to the hospital. According to the hospital patient information and transfer form, Patient admitted on [DATE] from nursing home. admitted for increased heart rate and altered mental status. diagnosed with [REDACTED]. On 4/25/19 at 11:35 AM, R1 was observed laying in her bed watching television. The call light was above the bed, but not within her reach. There were no fall mats on either side of the bed; and no signage or instructions to identify R1 as a fall risk resident, as required per facility policy. During an interview on 4/25/19, R1 was asked if she recalled the incident on 3/29/19. R1 stated, I fell down a couple of weeks ago. My nurse (V13-Certified Nurse's Aide) left me alone at the edge of the bed and then my doctor (V11) tried to put me on my wheelchair but he couldn't hold me up, so I must've twisted my knee or something. I screamed and screamed for help and some other guy came in (V12-Licensed Practical Nurse), and they both put me on my wheelchair. I was in pain later and I remember going to the doctor and they said I got a fracture on my leg right here (pointing to her knee area). On 4/25/19 at 11:48 AM, V7 (RN) was interviewed regarding the incident involving R1. During the interview, V7 stated, I can't tell you much about (R1) because this is my second day on the job. Asked whether there were special instructions pertaining to the care of R1, V7 stated, Not that I'm aware of. Asked if the previous nurse gave any sort of endorsement pertaining to R1, V7 stated, No. Asked if there were special instruction for R1 was to remain in bed, V1 responded, I don't know. Asked specifically if R1 was a fall risk, V7 stated, I'm not sure, like I said, I don't know her because it's my second day. On 4/25/19 at 12:05 PM, Surveyor then asked V6 (Certified Nurse's Aide) if she was the aide taking care of R1. V6 stated, Yes, I have her (R1) today. Surveyor asked if she knew anything about R1, V6 stated, Yes, I was told she fell last month I think. Surveyor asked if there was anything posted in the room or anywhere that showed R1 was a fall risk, V6 stated, No, not that I know. Asked how R1 gets moved from her bed, V6 stated, She don't like to get up. During an interview on 4/29/19 at 11:45 am, V2 (DON) stated, I did the fall investigation and based on that, I determined she did not fall. The psychologist shouldn't have transferred her. She's been here for several years and I think she's fallen maybe once a couple of years ago, but she has always been high risk for falls. She requires a mechanical lift because I know she has always had right sided weakness that puts her at risk for falls. V13 (CNA-Certified Nurse's Aide), stated during an interview on 4/29/19 at 12:08 PM, I put her at the edge of the bed and I went to get someone to help me, and next thing you know she was on her wheelchair with (V11) pushing her down the hallway. Asked why R1 was placed at the edge of the bed, V13 stated, I always do that because I have to move her to the chair. Asked if there were any special instructions on how to move or transfer R1, V13 stated, No, we always put her at the edge and then I put her on the chair with someone helping me. Asked if there were any special instructions on how to transfer R1, V13 stated, No, not that I was told. During an interview on 4/29/19 at 12:15 PM, V12 (LPN) stated, I was the nurse involved in the incident with R1. I was close to her room around 9:30 or 10:00, and I heard a loud scream saying help, help, help. So I came to the room right away, and I saw the psych doctor (V11) grabbing her around her waist trying to help her up. I quickly helped him and placed her on the wheelchair, but I never saw her fall or anything. I did get a call later from (V3-ADON) asking me if R1 ever hit the floor and I told her no, but she said the resident said she did hit the floor. On 4/29/19 at 1:09 PM, an interview was conducted with V11 (Clinical Psychologist). During the interview, V11 stated, I've been seeing (R1) for about a year now and I conduct my visits with her usually every Friday or so. When I came to see her this time, I came in to the room and she was by herself sitting at the edge of the bed, and I was concerned she was going to fall, and I was shocked she was left alone by herself. There was no one around and this concerned me, of course. R1 was unsteady and she asked me to help her to her chair, so I did, which I shouldn't have. When I tried to lift her, I immediately knew I couldn't manage her weight and she started shouting for help. The nurse came in immediately and helped, and we both helped her get on her wheelchair. She didn't fall or anything I don't recall, but it's possible I suppose, during the tense moment I struggled to keep her up, she could have twisted her knee or something. Surveyor asked V11 if there were any instructions pertaining to R1 indicating she was a fall risk, V11 stated, No. I wasn't told she was a fall risk, nor were there any type of instructions anywhere present to alert me or anyone. The facility Policy and Procedures dated 2/18 and titled Falling Star Program Policy states, Policy: To ensure that all residents determined to be at risk for falls or who have fallen are properly monitored by initiating the falling star protocol. Procedure: Residents will be identified according to initial fall screening; A yellow strip will be placed on resident's chart; A yellow strip will be placed on room number plaque of the resident's door; A yellow strip will be placed on the resident's wheelchair or walker; A yellow strip will be placed at the end of the residents bed; A yellow strip will be placed on the residents chart; Individualized care plan will be initiated and immediate intervention will be put into place; Staff will be notified of any new resident at risk for falls or who has fallen via shift report and a message posted on point of care; Recommendations and updating of individualized interventions will be implemented and documented on the resident's care plan; Program will be monitored by restorative nurse and DON.

It was shaped like teeth you know, curved like your mouth, and they were deep. He had a lot of scratches too all over his arms and face and had one bite mark on his face. I called the doctor right away and I was surprised he just ordered triple antibiotic and to monitor (R1). I thought the doctor was going to send him out to get a vaccination or something. Then we called both family members of (R1) and (R2). Asked how this attack happened, V3 stated, I don't know. I didn't see it but we should have been watching him. Records review of Nurses Note dated 10/2/18 at 8:06 PM written by V3 (nursing supervisor) states, Notified by nurse on duty, that one of female resident attacked (R1), he was scratched in his face and teeth biting on both hands and arm which was bleeding. Staff separated both resident and applied first aid on him, when we asked (R2) stated, (R1) came to my room and was watching me. I hit him to leave me alone. Asked why not use alarm, (R2) said, I forget everything. Doctor notified and explained the situation. Order was to apply antibiotic ointment on the area and keep monitoring him. We discussed to doctor because it was teeth biting do you want us to send to hospital, he said not not necessary. Order carried out. Patients wife notified, wife will come to facility in early morning , administrator notified, keep monitoring. 10/17/18 interview at 3:15 PM with V7 (CNA-Certified Nurses Aide) states, I did not witness it (the altercation) but I saw the residents on the floor after it. (R2) usually sits on the outside of her room. I saw (R1), he seemed calm but he looked upset and he looked pretty beat up. It was scary. I saw 2 bite marks on both this arms and his face was bleeding. 10/17/18 interview at 3:20 PM with V8 (CNA) states, (R2) is usually sitting outside her room a lot. She is aggressive. I saw (R1) with marks all over him but I did not see what happened. I just know she is mean. 10/17/18 interview at 3:05 PM with V9 (CNA) states, I was on break and did not see it at all. I just saw bite marks about 3 or 4 on his arms and his face was scratched up and bleeding. (R1) goes in and out of rooms, the nurses know this. I took (R1) back to his room and changed his diaper and then V6 (RN) came and saw him. 10/18/18 at 11:34 AM with V10 (Physician) states, I saw (R1) the next day. I put him on antibiotics and he didn't need to go to the hospital. I saw him also nine days ago. He did go home the next day and we provided home health for him and all. Asked to describe the wounds sustained by R1, V10 stated, When I saw him nine days ago the wounds had healed. There were 5 or 6 bites on each arm. I was told by the nursing staff my patient was attacked by another resident. Asked if the puncture wounds would scar, V10 stated, Well, like I said, they are healed now but maybe they will but eventually they will heal over. Asked attack was preventable, V10 stated, I go to a lot of nursing homes and I see this often so I don't know. Asked how long it would take to R1 to have sustained all those injuries, V10 stated, Well the facility only told me about the altercation and the injuries, but I suppose getting all those injuries, (R1) must have been in the other patients room for awhile and they probably should have kept a close eye on him, I suppose.

Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to accurately assess, document and identify pressure ulcers; the facility also failed to implement preventative and healing interventions to prevent the development of new pressure ulcers and promote the healing of new pressure ulcers for 3 (R1, R3, and R5) of 5 residents reviewed for pressure ulcers in a sample of 30. This deficient practice resulted in R3 developing eschar to the right heel which then became a Stage III pressure ulcer that increased in size and also developed another Stage II pressure ulcer to the left upper buttock. R5 has a facility acquired Stage IV right heel wound, a facility acquired left buttocks abscess and a Stage IV sacral wound. 1) R3 is a [AGE] year old resident with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A Laboratory Report, 10/26/12, documents a [MEDICATION NAME] of 3.1 (Normal 3.4-4.8) and a protein of 5.5 (normal 5.6-8.3). The Laboratory Report, 12/19/12, documents R3 as having heavy growth of Mecillinam Resistant [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] Aureus, moderate growth of Escherichia Coli and heavy growth of Streptococcus Pyogenes and was placed in contact isolation. The first documentation of R3's pressure ulcer to the right heel was in Nurse's Notes, 10/24/12, which noted eschar tissue to the right heel measuring 3.0 by 3.0 centimeters. R3's Comprehensive Skin Assessment, 10/24/12, documents no risk factors (this section was blank) and the development of a new site to right heel. The original Miscellaneous Weekly Skin Care Documentation Flow Sheet, provided by E5 (Treatment Nurse), documented no measurements or assessment information from 10/24/12 through 11/8/12. On 1/25/13 at 12:25 p.m., E5 stated, "I couldn't find the original form, so I amended this one." E5 then provided an amended copy of the Comprehensive Skin Assessment documenting on 11/2/12 the lesion to the right heel measuring 3.0 by 3.0 centimeters. The Wound Care Specialist Initial Evaluation, completed by Z1, 11/6/12, documents R3 with a "unstageable (due to necrosis) of the right heel." The Etiology documents the wound acquired from pressure measuring 3.0 by 3.0 centimeters. On 12/18/12, the wound care physician signed off the case and the podiatrist was consulted. The only podiatrist evaluation, 12/13/12, documents a stage 3 pressure ulcer to the right heel. The Interdisciplinary Care Plan, 9/7/12, documents R3 has an alteration in skin integrity related to Dementia, Incontinence, Decreased Sensory Perception, Diabetes and Comorbidities. Interventions include skin care to be checked during showers and routine care, heel protectors, dietary consult as needed, and nutritional supplements per dietitian recommendations. The Braden Scale, 9/17/12 and 12/7/12, documents R3 is at mild risk for the development of pressure ulcers. The facility was unable to provide documentation of skin care being checked per the care plan interventions. On 1/23/13, between 11:30am and 12:50pm, observations were made at 15 minutes intervals of R3 in his bedroom without heel protector boots on. On 1/23/13 at 12:50pm, E19 (nursing assistant) stated, "(R3) is suppose to have on heel protectors. I threw away the dirty ones when I showered R3. I am waiting for the new ones to come up. I will call down." E19 was then observed making a call to obtain the heel protectors. On 1/25/13, at 10:35 a.m., E2 (Director of Nursing) stated heel protectors are available on all units in the storage closets or in the Restorative Office. E2 also stated the staff have access to the heel protectors and they may need some training. The Physician order [REDACTED]." There are no orders in the Physician order [REDACTED]. On 1/24/13 supplement orders were obtained from the physician. The Miscellaneous Weekly Skin Care Documentation Flow Sheet documents the wound as follows: 11/2/12- 3.0 by 3.0 centimeters of necrotic tissue to the right heel pressure ulcer. 11/9/12- 3.0 by 3.0 centimeters of necrotic eschar tissue to the right heel pressure ulcer. 11/16/12- 2.7 by 3.0 of 30% necrotic tissue, 10% slough to the right heel pressure ulcer. 11/30/12- R3 was in the hospital. 12/7/12- Upon return from he hospital R3's pressure ulcer to the left heal measured 2.8 by 4.5 centimeters with 20% necrotic tissue, 20% slough. 12/14/12- 3.0 by 5.0 centimeters with 10% necrotic tissue to the right heel pressure ulcer. 12/21/12- 3.1 by 5.0 centimeters, with 10% necrotic tissue to the right heel pressure ulcer. 12/28/12- 3.2 by 5.0 centimeters with 10% necrotic tissue to the right heel pressure ulcer. 1/4/13 3.4 by 5.0 centimeters the right heel pressure ulcer. 1/11/13- 3.6 by 5.0 centimeters to the right heel pressure ulcer. 1/18/13- 3.2 by 4.3 centimeters to the right heel pressure ulcer. The Quarterly Nutrition Progress Note, 10/1/12, documents R3's skin condition as intact The Nutritional Progress Notes, 12/10/12, documents R3 has no skin breakdown The Nutritional Progress Note, 1/22/13, documents a stage 2 area to the left upper buttock with recommendations to add supplements. There is no documentation by the dietitian of the stage 3 pressure ulcer to the right heel, only the left buttock. On 1/24/13, E16 (Dietitian), stated she documents on every pressure ulcer monthly and receives a weekly skin care report. E16 stated the first note on any pressure ulcers was the 1/22/13 note. E16 further stated, "I would have started (R3) on a protein supplement had I seen there was a stage 3 pressure ulcer, even without a low protein and [MEDICATION NAME] level, to promote wound heeling. The recommendations made 1/22/13 provides an additional 30 grams of protein." On 1/24/12 at 11:35 a.m., E2 (Director of Nursing) stated, the dietician is notified weekly of pressure ulcers. On 1/23/12 at 11:20 a.m., E5 stated R3's only pressure ulcer was to the right heel. R3's Comprehensive Skin Assessment, 1/19/13, documents the development of a new pressure ulcer, stage 2, to the left upper buttock area measuring 1.2 by 0.9 centimeters. On 1/25/13 at 11:30 a.m., Z1(wound physician) was interviewed by phone and indicated he was out of town and without access to documentation he was unable to provide responses to questions regarding the care of R3. The facility policy, 8/11, Pressure Ulcer Prevention/Skin Care, documents 3. Protocol for prevention of pressure ulcers guidelines will be followed for all at-risk residents (moderate, high or severe). Moderate Risk, 1. Quarterly review of nutritional status and more frequently if indicated and 3. Nutritional supplement as indicated per recommendation of dietician and physician's orders [REDACTED]. 2. On 1/22/12 at 10:00 a.m. the facility provided a copy of the facility ' s current pressure ulcer report. R1 was not listed on the report. On 1/23/13 at 10:15 a.m., E5 (Wound Care Nurse/Licensed Practical Nurse, LPN) was asked if R1 has any pressure ulcers? E5 stated that R1 does not have any pressure ulcers. R1 was lying in bed. Visualization of R1 ' s buttocks revealed two pressures ulcers to the right buttock. The wounds with opened, and the wound bed was reddened. R1 ' s peri-wound (surrounding tissue) was macerated. Located over the bottom most ulcer was a [MEDICATION NAME] dressing that was rolled up and peeling at the edges. E5 stated " Oh this is new, it wasn't ' t there before. " E5 stated she had worked the previous day (1/21/13) and R1 did not have a pressure ulcer. R1 ' s physician's order [REDACTED]. There was no documentation in R1 ' s medical record related to the two wounds on R1 ' s right buttock. There were no treatment orders located in R1 ' s medical records for the pressure ulcers. E5 stated that the facility ' s policy is for nurses to notify the physician immediately and obtain wound care orders. E5 stated " I will call the doctor and get an order. " E5 then stated she will measure the wounds. With assistance from E7 (Certified Nursing Assistant, C.N.A), E5 measured the wounds and stated the measurements are as follows: Upper most wound 0.2 X 0.1cm; lower most wound 2.2 X 1.3cm. E5 stated " the night nurse is still here, maybe she put it ([MEDICATION NAME] dressing) there. " At 10:25 a.m., E6 (Registered Nurse, RN) was sitting at the desk. E6 stated that she worked with R1 on the night shift (1/22/13). E6 stated that R1 does not have any pressure ulcers. At 11:00 a.m., E5 returned with a typed document stating these are the physician ' s notes. E5 now states, " I forgot, we noticed it yesterday " . E5 refused to give the surveyor the documentation and stated " this is mine, I will get you one " . E5 was asked to provide the nursing (wound care) documentation, the original physician ' s documentation and physician's order [REDACTED]. E5 stated she doesn't ' t have access to the computer, and would not provide the information.

E5 stated she had not had a chance to document on either incident. On 1/30/13 at 9:50 a.m., R1 ' s care plan was still not updated. E5 again stated she has not had time to update the care plan. Z1 was informed at 9:53 a.m. and stated " she has not done it, and she is going to do it. " 3. Minimum Data Set (MDS) for R5 dated 11/6/12 shows an [AGE] year old resident at high risk for pressure sore requiring total staff assist for transfer and extensive assist for bed mobility. Weekly Wound report dated 1/11/13 reveals R5 has a facility acquired Stage IV right heel wound, a facility acquired left buttocks abscess and a Stage IV sacral wound. The physician's orders [REDACTED]. Review of R5's clinical record reveals no Care Plan for alteration in skin integrity. During the initial tour of the facility on 1/22/13 at approximately 10:00 a.m., R5 was observed in her room, lying supine in a low bed under the covers, awake, alert and oriented, complaining of not wanting to be in the facility.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to: a) ensure that 1 sampled resident (R30) who was high risk for elopement in the sample of 30, was monitored to prevent leaving the facility unsupervised. b) ensure that 3rd floor dining room window bolts which prevent full opening of windows in the dining room, are not broken. c) inform staff that 1 sampled resident with dementia ( R30 ) in the sample of 30 was high risk for elopement. This failure resulted to R30 successfully leaving the 3rd floor unit through the 3rd floor Dining Room window on [DATE] at 5:05 AM, and falling to the 1st floor patio concrete floor. This has a potential to affect 24 residents who are listed as high risk for elopement(R31-R54) on the 3rd floor. This failure resulted in Immediate Jeopardy which started on [DATE] at 5:05 AM, when R30 managed to open the 3rd floor window, and lowered himself out of the 3rd floor window, using linens tied to the leg of a table in the 3rd floor dining room. R30 fell in the process, and sustained multiple fractures of the left lower extremity and internal bleeding. As a result of these injuries, R30 expired at the hospital on [DATE]. Findings include : 1) R30 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. R30's care plan dated [DATE] mentioned that R30 has moderately impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making, is ambulatory with cane, and is alert but with bouts of confusion. His care plan also showed that he has a wandering, roaming, or pacing behavior related to Dementia, manifested by attempts to leave the facility without an escort, and roaming in and out of peer's room. Review of R30's Nurses Notes dated [DATE], indicated that R30 made multiple attempts to leave the unit during ,[DATE] shift. On an undetermined shift on [DATE], R30's nurses notes also indicated that he was anxious, and verbalized that he " wants to go home." On [DATE], R30's nurse's notes also showed, that he again voiced desire to go home on an undetermined shift. R30's nurses notes also indicated that on [DATE], after an altercation with another resident, R30 became hostile, uncooperative and wanted to leave the facility. During [DATE] interview at 1:38 PM, E5 (,[DATE] Certified Nurse Aide/ CNA) said that on [DATE], she was the only CNA working on the 3rd floor during ,[DATE] shift. E5 mentioned that the facility was short-staffed that night, so they moved another 3rd floor CNA to the 2nd floor, and left her to care for 50 plus residents. E10 confirmed that she was floated to the 2nd floor during ,[DATE] shift on [DATE] and that, normally, there are 2 CNAs during night shift on the 3rd floor. Facility's census on [DATE] indicated that there were 56 residents including R30, on the 3rd floor under E5's care on ,[DATE] shift. Facility's list indicated that 24 of these residents ( R31-R54) on the 3rd floor are listed as high risk for elopement. E5 said she was up and down all night, but at around 4:30 to 5:00 AM, she was sitting at the small hallway near the 3rd floor dayroom/dining room. E5 said R30 came back twice and motioned to her on the second time, if he could go to the 3rd floor dining room. E5 said yes, and R30 went to the dining room and kept the door closed, without any staff supervising him. E5 went to the Utility Room and said that ,[DATE] minutes later, she heard a strange noise coming from the 3rd floor dining room. E5 said that when she opened the dining room door, she saw that the first window on the left was opened, and linens tied to the leg of a table, were hanging out of the window. E5 continued that she thought that she saw the top of R30's head. E5 screamed for E6 (3rd floor nurse) to come, and when she looked down the window, E5 saw R30 lying on the 1st floor patio. E5 said she does not know how R30 opened the 3rd floor dining room window. E5 said that she did not see R30 carry linens to the dining room either. During [DATE] observation of the 3rd floor unit, the linen cart is just outside the 3rd floor dining room door, and R30 could have easily taken a linen without E5's knowledge when E5 went inside the Utility Room, especially that the 3rd floor dining room door was kept closed during that time. E5 said that on ,[DATE] shift, the 3rd floor dining room door is usually closed, so that no residents could go inside the room unsupervised or unmonitored. E5 said that normally, on ,[DATE] shift, they don't allow residents inside the dining room by themselves, because they could choke or slip and fall. However, E5 said that R30 does this routine everyday, and no one told her that R30 is confused, had previous elopement attempts, and had verbalized desire to go home. E5 added that had she known these, she would have monitored R30 closely. E5 also added that R30 is even allowed to leave the unit and go to other floors unsupervised. Similarly, during [DATE] interview with E6 at 4:00 PM, E6 also said that she is not aware that previously, R30 verbalized desire to go home in [DATE]. R30's [DATE] nurses notes and social service progress notes, show that R30 expressed desire to go home on this date. E6 added that there is also a list of residents high risk for elopement on the 3rd floor, but that, R30's name isn't included in that list. Furthermore, E5 continued that R30's wristband is not color coded to indicate that he is an elopement risk. During [DATE] conversation with E7 (Social Service Assistant ) and E8 ( Social Worker ) at 1:30 PM, E7 said that the list of residents high risk for elopement ( prior to revision on [DATE] after R30 fell ), included R30's name. E8 also said that R30's wrist band is color coded to indicate, that he is an elopement risk when he first came in to the facility. E8 wasn't sure if on [DATE] R30's wristband was still color coded to reflect risk for elopement. E7 was unable to produce the elopement list prior to [DATE] because he said that with the revision, the new names were already added to the previous list. R30's care plan for elopement, wandering, pacing, and roaming behavior dated [DATE], showed that it was not updated when R30 verbalized desire to go back home on [DATE]. Although these interventions included posting his photo at the nurses station and notifying staff of elopement risk potential, these intervention were not done, as both E5 and E6 were not even aware that R30 is an elopement risk. According to E6 during [DATE] interview, R30's name was not even included in the list of elopement risk residents, nor was his wrist band coded to reflect high risk for elopement. The color coding of wrist band of R30 for elopement risk was not even part of his care plan. According to E8, when he interviewed R30 on [DATE], R30 was not able to provide E8 with an address where R30 desired to be discharged to. During [DATE] observation with E9 (Maintenance Director) at 11: 40 AM, the 3rd floor Dining Room was noted with 4 windows facing Kedzie Street. Each window has a left and right glass panel that could slide to the side but can only be opened to a maximum of 7 inches, if the window bar bolt is in place at the latch . This bar prevents full opening which is up to 32 inches sideways and 18 inches from top to bottom per measurement with facility ruler. Per E9, when he got to the facility on [DATE] at around 7 AM, the window bar was already put back in place, but the screw/bolt that holds it in place was missing. E9 said that this window bar prevents the sliding to the right of the window panel of the 1st window. E9 added that it might have been the years of banging the window during opening, that broke the screw/bolt that holds the window bar in place. E9 explained that R30 might have been the 1st person to have lifted and removed the window bar, which allowed him to slide open the window fully. E9 said that he did not see any screwdriver and that, using a screw driver to remove the screw would have been improbable. E9 added that when he checked the rest of the 3rd floor windows, he discovered that 3 out of the 4 windows in the dining room had window bars with broken bolts/ screws. Several residents rooms ( 3 ) according to E9 were also found with broken window bolts, but all had been replaced already as of [DATE]. Review of R30's Chicago Fire Department record showed that 911 was dispatched on [DATE] at 5:16 AM, and arrived at the facility at 5:20 AM. This Fire Department incident report # 0146 indicated, that R30 was found at the facility's outdoor terrace with a large hematoma to the left side of the head and with shortening and rotation of the left leg. Added to this, this report showed that at 5:30 AM, R30's ECG showed that he has sinus bradycardia, his heart rate at 48/minute and his BP at ,[DATE]. R30's respiration was at 28/minute. At 5:41 AM, his BP was at 76/P and his heart rate remained at 48. During [DATE] phone interview with Z1 at 7:20 AM, Z1 said that R30's BP was never stable when he came to ER. Z1 said that R30's abdomen became distended so a DPL was performed and blood was found in his abdomen. Z1 added that with that finding and the drop in R30's hemoglobin, R30 was sent to OR for an Exploratory Laparotomy. Z1 said that she suspected initially that the cause of internal bleeding was the spleen, because there was a large collection of fluid around R30's spleen. Z1 continued that R30 had about 500 cc of blood removed intraabdominally, and a large retroperitoneal hematoma. Z1 said that she did not find the active source of bleeding when she opened up R30, but despite of the blood and fluids he was given eversince he was admitted , R30's BP did not stabilize. According to Z1, everytime R30's aorta is unclamped, his blood pressure would drop despite of the pressors and blood, and that it was probably from the hemorrhagic shock and acidosis. Z1 said that the bleeding was from his trauma from the injuries he sustained after his fall. Per Surgery and Procedure Documentation dated [DATE] 11:21 AM, R30 was provided with morgue care at this time. Review of facilty's list of resident on the 3rd floor on elopement risk showed that on [DATE], 24 residents in the list ( R31 - R54 ) were all identified by the facility as elopement risks. E2 ( Director of Nursing ) and Z2 were notified of these failures that led to the Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE] at 1:56 PM. While the Immediacy was removed on [DATE], the facility remains out of compliance at severity level 2, because the facility has yet to inservice the new hires on all shifts, has yet to assess if new interventions and policies are effective on the possible affected residents, and the facility's evaluation of the new plan of care has yet to be conducted The facility took the following steps to correct the Immediate Jeopardy: a) All windows were checked and bolted by maintenance staff starting [DATE] at 9:00 AM, and were finished by 2:00 PM. As part of the QA process, maintenance will randomly audit 10 rooms including the Dining Rooms on each floor monthly, to ensure that the windows are bolted. b) Starting [DATE], all residents were assessed by Social Service staff for elopement risk potential, and their names were added to the hourly monitoring log to be done and initialed by the CNAs. Their photos are also placed along with the list in each nurses stations. The Asst. DON will monitor this program weekly, to ensure that the hourly log is done in a timely manner, and to ensure that these residents photos are posted in the nurses station log book. Starting [DATE], all newly admitted residents with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Until a photo is taken, a description will be provided for these residents. The log and the description or photo will be forwarded to the nurses station and the front desk by the admitting nurse. Nurses and CNAs will be inserviced regarding this policy and procedure starting [DATE] by the ADON and this will be completed to include all staff by [DATE]. c) An inservice concerning monitoring and supervision of residents with Dementia was done on [DATE] by Z3. The night shift staff was inserviced by the DON on [DATE] to complete inservicing all the staff on each shift. Initially, on [DATE], the ADON completed an inservice with all staff on interventions when residents voice desire to leave facility or attempted to leave the facility, and the importance of reporting this information to the nurse. d) Although on [DATE] residents were assessed for elopement risk by social service staff, this list was revised to include a star next to their names, on those high risk to elope. These residents are not to leave the unit unattended. The staff will be inserviced by the ADON and DON on [DATE] on this update. e) Beginning [DATE], a discharge readiness assessment will be done by social service staff on those who verbalize desire to leave the facility. If appropriate, a discharge plan will be developed based on the assessment. This is an ongoing process that will be monitored by the administrator or designee. f) Starting [DATE], 2 CNAs will be working on ,[DATE] shift on the 3rd floor. If a CNA calls off, a replacement will be assigned. The CNA Supervisor, DON, or ADON will contact other CNAs to fill in but if no CNA is available, the CNA supervisor will work the floor. If the CNA supervisor is not available, a nurse will be contacted to work the floor, or an agency CNA will be contacted for coverage. The CNA Supervisor and ADON will be inserviced by the DON on this new call off policy on [DATE].
