F600J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on observation, interview, video review, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one resident (R4) remained free from physical abuse by staff. This failure resulted in R4 being pushed in the chest causing R4 to fall back into the chair and being slapped repeatedly to prevent R4 from standing up. This failure affected one of four residents (R4) reviewed for abuse and had the potential to affect 152 residents residing in the facility.The Immediate Jeopardy began on 06/18/26 when V18, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) physically pushed R4 in the chest causing R4 to fall into a chair then slapped R4's hands in an attempt to stop R4 from standing up. V1 (Administrator) was notified on 7/29/2026 of the Immediate Jeopardy.The surveyor confirmed by interview and record review that the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 07/31/2026, but noncompliance remains at Level Two because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the in-service training. Findings include:R4 is a [AGE] year-old female with diagnosis that includes but not limited to unspecified dementia, unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance and anxiety, anemia, adult failure to thrive and muscle weakness(generalized).On 06/18/26 at 4:45pm, the facility camera video presented show that R4 was physically pushed in the chest into a chair and slapped on the hands by V18 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) while V18 was attempting to redirect R4's behavior of repetitive standing. Following the incident, R4 became defensive and swung her hands but did not make contact with V18 or peers but appeared to be in distress following the interaction.The incident was witnessed by V5 (Adult Protective Services) and V20 (CNA) assigned to sit with R4. V5 reported the alleged abuse to V1 (Administrator).R4's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated May 19, 2026, scored R4's BIMS as 3 indicating that R4 is severely cognitively impaired.On 07/22/26 at 11:00am, R4 was observed in the dining room area but unable to interview due to cognitive status.On 07/22/2026 at 9:43am V5 (Adult Protective Services) stated in part that the day of the incident (06/18/2026) he was at the facility visiting a client (another resident). While on the 2nd floor by the nurse's station V5 saw what seemed to be an abuse situation. V5 stated he saw staff putting their hands on R4 and face. V5 could not recollect the name of the resident and staff but stated he immediately made the administrator aware of what he saw and let him know he (V5) was reporting this abuse situation to the Ombudsman Program.On 07/22/26 at 4:40pm, review of the facility camera video with V1 Administrator, V2 Director of Nursing (DON) and a fellow surveyor. The video camera 6 showed residents in the dining room on the 2nd floor. R4 was seen to be supervised by V20 CNA. Between 16:54 and 16:56 (4:54pm and 4:56pm) V18 approached R4 while she was standing up and pushed her down with his left hand back into her chair and as a result R4 became defensive and started swinging her hands at V18. V18 was observed hitting R4 with his open hand (slapping motion). V18 was observed in the video swinging back at R4 and later appeared to be blocking R4.On 07/22/2026 at 4:45pm, when V1 and V2 were asked whether that is an appropriate way to de-escalate a resident exhibiting aggressive behavior and should staff provoke residents physically. V1 stated, Physical re-direction is appropriate because staff (V18) was just blocking the resident from hitting him. V2 stated that she could not see it clearly and the video was rewind and shown again. After review V2 then stated, May be the staff (referring to V18) could have handled the situation differently.On 07/22/26 at 11:00am, R4 is observed in the dining room area and was not able to be interviewed due to R4's cognitive status. R4 has severe cognitive impairment and was unable to recognize, avoid, or reliably report abusive treatment.On 07/22/26 at 3:11pm, R5 was interviewed regarding abuse and what happened on 06/18/26. R5 stated she was there and she saw what happened, but she does not want to get involved. R5 stated, I (R5) do not want to get anyone in trouble or get them fired. But one thing I (R5) know is that they (referring to staff) are not supposed to hit us (residents). If they (residents) hit you, we are all sick here with different sicknesses. They (staff) are supposed to know how to deal with her (R4). When asked whether R5 had been abused by staff in the facility, R5 stated in part, No, because I (R5) will fight back.On 07/27/2026 at review of facility camera 8 between 4:47pm and 4:56pm video on 06/18/26 showed V5 in the dining room talking with V18 and between 4:57pm and 5:04pm talking to V1 at the nurse's station. V1 stated that was when V5 was making him aware of the alleged abuse.R4's care plan documents that R4 will be treated with respect and reside in the facility free of mistreatment (i.e. abuse and neglect), this was not followed.According to the facility investigation report V18 denied any alleged abuse and documented that he was using a blocking technique. Despite the facility camera showing otherwise. The video showed V18 touching R4 first by pushing her down unto the chair.On 07/29/2026 at 2:14pm, V20 CNA was assigned to sit with R4. V20 stated that she was not really familiar with R4 because that was her second or third time sitting with her on 1:1. V20 stated that she stayed over to work from day shift on the second shift. The previous CNA, whose V20 could not remember the name, told her that R4 had been agitated all morning shift. The surveyor asked V20 what she meant by been agitated. V20 stated R4 kept standing up, was irritated and just getting up from her chair. R4 is on fall risk monitor. V20 stated that typically, when she is agitated we (referring to staff) will take R4 for a walk. R4 kept standing up and so I called V18 who was familiar with her (R4). R4 became aggressive towards V18, another resident (R5) was sitting in the back corner of the dining room shouted and told R4 to sit her a** down. R4 still aggressive hitting on V18 and he (V18 was blocking her (R4) with his elbow. V20 stated that she asked the Nurse (V25) LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) to take R4 to her room as V20 was helping another resident in the dining room to set up the dinner (dinner tray). V20 stated in part that I (V20) guess there was a visitor from the State (referring to V5 from Adult Protective Services) who saw what happened and went to report to the nurse (referring to V25 and V1 (Administrator) that we (V18 and V20) were hitting her and shouting at her (R4). V20 stated that was not what happened. R4 kept getting up and V18 tried to ask her to sit down. The surveyor asked V20 whether it was appropriate to physically push a resident with diagnosis that includes dementia and has repeated behavior of standing up who was not aggressive to self and others to sit down on the chair. V20 stated that it is not appropriate to abuse any of the residents. When asked about what form of abuse that would be V20 stated physical abuse but R4 kept standing up that was when he (V18) touched R4 to get her to sit down. V20 stated V18 was just blocking her from hitting him. V20 acknowledged watching the video on the day of incident (06/18/2026). The surveyor then asked did you see anything that indicated any form of abuse. V20 stated, No. because V18 was just trying to make R4 sit down.On 08/04/2026 at 10:58am, V33 (Social Worker Consultant) stated in part that there are lots of things to be considered that can contribute to residents' action when being aggressive. Residents can be upset, hungry, and can be in pain. Connect with them (residents) in the front, eye to eye with the resident. Engage them in conversation, arm length away from the patient. Can re-direct patients with open arms not a clenched fist. The surveyor then asks whether it is okay to push the residents into the chair. V33 stated, No, because you can hurt the residents. V33 further stated that depending on situations all approaches are safe. Techniques that can be used depending on the situation, no pushing the person into the chair. V33 stated ease the (Resident) into the chair with permission with use of gait belt from the lower portion of the body, lower back (waist area).On 08/04/2026 at 2:39pm, V34 SSD (Social Services Director) stated that when the incident happened, V34 was not in the building. V1 informed me about the incident, and he said he was starting an investigation. V34 was not shown the video of the event that led to this investigation. I am following what my administrator (V1) told me (V34) that a visitor misinterpreted what happened to (R4) and staff to be abusive. V34 stated, she knows R4 is a fall risk that needs direct help to sit down in the chair. The surveyor asked does that include pushing the resident. V34 stated no, it is more of a guided motion into the chair not pushing and not backing. Always with calm reaction. V34 stated that at times the staff can react without thinking at the time about safety with no immediate danger guide. During the same interview V34 stated she is familiar with R4. V34 stated with R4's diagnosis it is not appropriate to physically push R4 to sit down as a form of re-directing. V34 further stated With dementia they don't know what they are doing and what you are preventing them from doing. It is an impulse for them. Surveyor asked V34 when it is appropriate to physically push a resident to sit back in the chair to re-direct from repeatedly standing up, V34 stated, Never, any forceful, any unwanted touch that the resident is not okay with, can be physical abuse.On 08/04/26 at 3:44pm, V33 (Social Worker Consultant) was asked when it is appropriate to physically push a resident to sit back in a chair to re-direct them from repeatedly standing up. V33 stated like I (V33) said before that is not the first step to de-escalating any situation. All interventions should be safe, verbal approach calmly, knowing the cause of aggression is the resident in pain, stressed, bored of just sitting, and whether the staff is the cause of aggression. V33 stated right now, I am teaching them about safe methods and when it is deemed to activate the use. V33 stated repeated standing and asking the resident to sit down is not a form of aggression. On 08/06/2026 at 11:45am, V1 was asked to clarify the police report statement of V1 stating to the police officer that R4 is usually problematic and causes issues daily. V1 stated That was the police officer summary, I (V1) did not say that to him (Police Officer). I said she has advanced dementia with history of falling and on fall risk. I gave him a copy of (R4)'s face sheet showed him the diagnosis on face sheet and told him that aggression is one of the reasons the family (Son) placed R4 in the facility because (R4) had hit the son previously. V1 stated he did not recall any other additional comments. V1 further stated, I may have said problematic, but it is not part of the words I use.On 08/06/2026 at 3:48pm, V1 stated, He did not attribute V18's action as being abusive when he looked at the video, but he must admit his eyes (visions) are bad. I saw something that can be misinterpreted as abuse. What I saw in video was re-direction from V18 using side approach, a side approach is preferred but because of the space in the room there was no room for side approach. As for me I am seeing V18 doing the best re-direction possible with the space he had to work in. I (V1) saw V18 using his dominant hand to reposition R4 into the chair and blocking R4 who was swinging at him. V18 did not use his dominant hand to confront R4. I (V1) interviewed two other CNA's looking at the situation and they deny that V18 did anything inappropriate. V1 further stated when the surveyor asked whether repeated standing up by R4 constituted aggressive behavior, V1 stated, No.As of 08/06/2026 at 4:35pm, during this investigation V18 (CNA) and V26 RN (Registered Nurse) were unable to be reached via telephone or at the facility. The facility schedule presented by V2 showed V18 calling off and V26 not on schedule.When applying reasonable person concept, the action of V18 has the potential to put R4 and other vulnerable residents at risk for serious harm that can result in psychological and physical abuse.Facility Abuse policy presented dated 2/2/26 documents that residents in the facility are to be treated with dignity and respect. Abuse is defined as any physical or mental injury or sexual assault inflicted upon a resident other than by accidental means. Abuse is the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment resulting in physical harm. The willful in the definition of abuse means the individual must have acted deliberately.Physical abuse is the infliction of injury on a resident that occurs other by accidental means. Listed physical abuse includes but not limited to hitting, and slapping, it includes but not limited to Facility Abuse Prevention and Reporting presented date 2/2/26 documents indicated in part under Interna Reporting Requirements and Identification of Allegations that employees are required to report any allegation or suspicion of potential abuse they observe, hear about, or suspect to the administrator.The facility policy titled Behavior Management for Agitated Behavior presented dated 4/14 documents under targeted behavior that agitated behavior which represents a danger to self and others, due to Alzheimer's disease with anxiety, dementia, mental illness or other illnesses. Preventive measures listed include but are not limited to observing residents for behavior escalating of anxiety, aggression such as loud voice tone and ringing, swearing, yellowing(yelling), and/or other irritability. Approaches to use when encountering a potentially violent resident listed includes but not limited to recognizing that agitation and anger are part of dementia and not done deliberately.Facility policy on Resident Rights presented dated 11/18 documents that employees should offer all residents privacy and treat all residents with respect, kindness and dignity. To provide an environment of care that supports a positive self-image.The Operational protocol for Geriatric Behavior De-Escalation presented documents under managing Residents who have already stood up unassisted that when a geriatric resident has already stood up unassisted and in standing independently, staff must follow a strict realistic, physically safe nursing procedure that avoids confusing spatial commands, such as telling a dementia resident to step backward, which they cannot visually process and will cause them to trip. Listed steps include but are not limited to approaching the resident from the front calmly. Establish supportive proximity. Position yourself within arm's reach at a 45-degree angle with open hands visible at waist level, acting as a steady physical anchor. Use guided physical seating. Because dementia residents suffer from visuospatial deficit and cannot process abstract spatial instructions, staff must physically guide the descent, staff place one supportive on the resident's waist or lower back and offer an [NAME] hand on the residents 's waist or lower back and offer an arm or hand for steady support.The Immediate Jeopardy that began on 06/18/2026 was removed on 07/31/2026 when the facility took the following actions to remove the immediacy. On 08/04/2026 the survey team verified by observation, interview, and record review, that the facility implemented the following to remove the immediacy.Facility: Pine Crest Healthcare Plan of Removal: F600 Abuse The following shall serve as the facility's written credible allegation of compliance which will be achieved. This is in no way an admission of guilt, but rather submitted as per the regulatory requirement. On June 18, 2026, a Visitor from Adult Protective Services reported allegation of abuse to Charge Nurse and then repeated the allegation directly to the Administrator, Abuse Coordinator. On June 18, 2026, once the abuse allegation was reported, V18 (CNA) was removed immediately from residents' presence and sent home pending investigation. On June 18, 2026, the resident was examined by Charge Nurse and found no apparent injuries. On June 18, 2026, the Administrator notified the Family (R4 Son) who visited R4 shortly after the alleged incident and Physician of the allegation. On June 19, 2026, R4 was seen and examined by NP. This will be ongoing. On June 22, 2026, the facility began re-educating the current Staff (Nurses, CNAs, Dietary, Housekeeping, Laundry, Department Heads, Activities, Social Services) on Abuse Prevention and Dementia Behavior Deescalation. V18 was included in training. This re-education continued through June 25, 2026. Focus of re-education included in general: Managing residents with behaviors/agitation De-escalating behaviors for individuals with dementia Abuse Identifying triggers Screening Types Reporting Investigating Consequences/Discipline Beginning June 22, 2026 and ongoing, all future Staff will be mandated to receive Abuse training from Administrator or Assistant Administrator and Deescalation training from Social Services Director prior to caring for residents. Training will include the information listed above. As of June 22, 2026, R4 continues on 1:1 status/monitoring due to behaviors. On August 3, 2026, Consultation Group is scheduled to do Staff training on Behavior Deescalation. The facility evaluated its abuse prevention system to determine what factors may have contributed to the incident. Facility management, including the abuse coordinator have reviewed the facility's abuse policy and procedures and determined that they are appropriate. The facility has reviewed client medical records and revised physician orders as appropriate to minimize resident's risk for behaviors, while at the same time preserving individual client rights and dignity. The facility evaluated its abuse prevention system by conducting staff interviews, following facility abuse protocol, given previous abuse training and prevention to staff, identifying the possibility of overstimulation for R4, identifying possibility of the initial CNA being overwhelmed with R4's behavior. As a result of these things, Initial CNA requested the assistance from a co-worker, R4's dining/activity room monitoring was changed to lessen the possibility of overstimulation, CNA was counseled prior to being sent home to remove self from such close contact, when possible, when residents become agitated, staff were instructed to remove other residents, if necessary, from agitated residents if can't remove the agitated resident from the situation. Consulting Group has begun behavior deescalation training with staff as on July 30, 2026, and will continue until all staff, with exception of those on vacation or leave, are re-educated as of August 3, 2026. Any Staff on vacation or leave will be re-educated upon their return to work. Resident exhibits behaviors of repeated impulsive standing and combative behaviors when redirected. According to R4's son, this behavior was exhibited at home warranting her nursing home admission. On the day in question, June 18, 2026, R4 was repeatedly standing from chair, attempting to leave area and becoming combative with staff when redirected. Staff repeatedly escorted her on walks in attempt to calm her without success. CNA involved was asked for assist due to the behaviors and noncompliance to verbal redirection. R4 has history of falls as a result of her unsteady gait and impulsiveness; thus warranting 1:1 monitoring. R4 is currently on 1:1 staff monitoring and has been for over a year. To help prevent recurrence, R4's 1:1 dining room monitoring location was changed to the main dining room on 2nd floor where there is more higher functioning residents with less sensory stimulation from noise content and level. On June 19, 2026, R4 was seen and examined by NP who ordered Xanax 1mg as needed (PRN) and Sertraline 75mg at bedtime. The CNA involved was immediately removed from resident contact and sent home pending investigation. Staff was re-educated on Abuse and Deescalation techniques for Dementia residents. Care plan reviewed and deemed appropriate.Facility did not have the IDPH findings at the time of re-education to address. Physical interventions, resident rights and dementia related behaviors were addressed in the June 22, 2026, re-education. Post tests method was used in all abuse and behavior education sessions to evaluate staff's knowledge after training. The written post tests were also discussed verbally with each educational group for clarification and understanding purposes. Minimal yearly and PRN, all Staff is re-educated on Abuse and Dementia. Both educations are accompanied with a post year minimally yearly. CNA involved was re-educated on both Abuse and Dementia related behaviors with post tests taken (see attached for August 2025 and June 2026).

F921C · No harm, potential for minimal, widespread

Based on record review, interview and observations the facility failed to provide a safe, functional, sanitary and comfortable environment for the residents of the facility. This failure involved the common area shower rooms on both the first and second floors and affects all residents in the facility. The shower facilities available to the residents are in need of repairs and deep cleaning to give the residents a space to feel comfortable using on a daily basis. R1 will be known as R5 and is not available to be interviewed while writer was at the facility. R5 is a 67 year of female whose diagnosis includes: DISORDER OF THYROID, UNSPECIFIED(E07.9),ESSENTIAL (PRIMARY) HYPERTENSION(I10), PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA(F20.0), UNSPECIFIED PSYCHOSIS NOT DUE TO A SUBSTANCE OR KNOWN PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITION(F29), THYROTOXICOSIS, UNSPECIFIED WITHOUT THYROTOXIC CRISIS OR STORM(E05.90), DEMENTIA IN OTHER DISEASES CLASSIFIED ELSEWHERE, MILD, WITHOUT BEHAVIORAL DISTURBANCE, PSYCHOTIC DISTURBANCE, MOOD DISTURBANCE, AND ANXIETY(F02.A0), MENTAL DISORDER, NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFIED(F99), VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY, UNSPECIFIED(E55.9), OTHER CONSTIPATION(K59.09), SPASMODIC TORTICOLLIS(G24.3)R5 was unavailable at the time of survey to be interviewed. The complainant for this survey was V11 (her Maximus Case Manager) to whom R5 made the complaint. V11 in turn did not make the facility aware of the complaint, per his Agency's policy he just called the hotline to make the complaint. V11 stated that this was to protect the identity of the resident. V11 was reached by telephone on 01/23/26 at 10:31AM. V11 was able to state that he met with his client at the facility during a visit last year, in the Fall in the conference room on the first floor. V11 then stated that the shower room in question was located right next to the conference room. This description of the location matched the conference room that this writer was working from on the first floor of the facility. V11 described the condition of the bathroom as horrible with broken tiles on the floor, no curtains for privacy and mold throughout the bathroom. 01/23/26 -11:00AM Conference room: V4 (Maintenance Director) and V5 (Housekeeping Manager) and I began to tour the common area shower rooms; we started with the 400 hall shower room which was locked (allegedly due to residents smoking in there on the overnight shift). V4 had been called to assist with unlocking the bathroom door, as the nurse and V5 did not have a key to unlock the door. Once inside the shower room, it was apparent that this shower room had not been cleaned for a while as evidenced by the dark brown stains in the toilet bowl. The toilet was functional and did flush, when activated, it spewed dark brown water. The tiles on the floors and walls have tiles that are chipped, there are a couple of shower areas in the shower room that are not separated by a curtain, and assistive devices are stored in the room. There is also varying degrees of a dark substance on the grout of parts of the walls and floors throughout the shower room. 01/23/26 11:15AM 200 hallway shower room was next to be reviewed by V4, V5 and this writer. This door was unlocked and was unoccupied at the time. There were bath blankets on the floor and there was urine in the toilet that was not flushed. There were chipped 1x1 tiles on the floor and other chipped and/or broken tile on the walls. There is also varying degrees of dark substances on the floors and walls. The room was also used as storage for assistive devices and there was no privacy curtain to cover the toilet when it was in use. The toilet can be viewed from the hall when the door is open and there is no lock on the door to prevent that. The lack of locks could be considered a safety measure, but according to the DON (V3) most of the residents on the first floor are more independent and shower without assistance. So, it is entirely possible that the door can be opened, form the outside, while a resident is showering or toileting. Also, R5 is a resident of the first floor and according to her care plan, she requires assistance with ADLs.During this interview, when V5 was asked how often the shower room was cleaned, V5 stated that she, along with the housekeepers, make rounds and determine when they need to be cleaned that then clean them. However, V13 (housekeeper) stated that the bathroom is cleaned once a shift and if someone request it. 01/23/26 11:30AM Shower room on the 500 hallway was not available for shower use as it was entirely used for storage. 01/24/26 1:00PM-1:30PM all shower rooms on the second floor have crumbling tile, lack of privacy curtains, and varying levels of dark substances on the floors and walls. The shower rooms now have a log on the back of the door to detail when that particular shower room has been cleaned. Each shower room at the time of this viewing had been cleaned at least two times. There still were no curtains, and the dark substance was still on the floors and walls. 01/23/26 laundry room on the first floor: R2 (president of resident counsel) was interviewed as she did her laundry and stated that she was not aware of any problems in the facility, then instantly stated that the only thing she can recall hearing problems about from residents was the shower rooms and how filthy they were.01/23/26 conference room: During the interview with V5 regarding the cleaning protocol for the bathroom (V6) the IP came into the conference room and was asked about if there is a policy for how often showers should be cleaned or if there is a policy for the remediation of the dark substance. V6 stated that she is mainly there for the antibiotics and not so much for housekeeping. V5 stated that she was starting to work on adding curtains to each bathroom today. This has not been completed prior to me exiting the survey. 01/24/26 11:00AM Conference room: V4 told me that the supplies (grout) for the shower rooms had been purchased and that the cracked tiles on the floor had been filled in. The receipt for the supplies had been left on the table and added to the attachments. The shower rooms had been cleaned prior to my arrival today and the logs to not the times of the cleaning were on the back of the shower room doors.

On the day R1 went out (referring to 07/17/25), I was on vacation I hardly took time off, but I was off. I did not do any investigation, V1 (Administrator) did the investigation so I could not tell you what happened. When asked about potential risk that could have happened to R1, V2 said Any-thing could have happened to (R1). Safety issues, accident can happen. R1 wants the son to get out of his home and that is part of why he (R1) is in the facility I think they V1 said they are in court, but he (V1) does not have the paperwork (court document) yet. V2 explained that the facility exits (in the facility) have alarms especially the front door, so if staff or resident goes through without proper code the alarm goes off to alert every-one in the building. The alarm is loud enough that everyone can hear it. When a resident is missing or eloped, the facility policies should be followed. The surveyor then asked whether it is normal occurrence for the facility residence to walk out of the facility without staff's knowledge. V2 said It is not normal for any of our resident to walk out of the building without anyone knowing about it. R1 is here (facility) to be cared for and monitored. On 07/23/25 at 3:23pm, V22 (Family) stated that I am the son, (R1) left the nursing home (facility) during the night of 07/17/25. (R1) walked back to his home which is about 4hours walk because they said he left around 9:00pm. V22 said I call the facility to ask about him, they (facility staff) did not know he was gone.

V15 stated that R1 is not capable of going out in the community without supervision, so R1 should not be out there without supervision of staff or family.

V23 stated in part that V17 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) was at the nurse's station with V27 (RN), I got the shift change report from V17 that nothing was going on. The surveyor asked what V23 meant by nothing going and she said, to mean everything was normal with the residents assigned to her (V23). V23 stated that V17 (LPN) that worked 3pm to 11pm did not report that R1 eloped or has gone out unauthorized. V23 stated that it was after V22 (family) called the facility around 12:30am that the staff started looking for him. V1 (Administrator) was notified, and he came into the facility asked for the police be called. When the police called, he (V22) told them that he had his father, and he is on the way to the local hospital to get evaluated. V23 could not explain or give account of how R1 eloped with the door alarm on because the front door alarm goes off when coming in or out then you will have to put the code in to stop it. V23 stated in part that every staff knows the code to get in or out and the alarm did not sound on my shift. On 07/24/25 at 3:33pm, V25 (Maintenance Director) stated that all the exit doors in the facility are in working condition, the front exit door is always working. The alarm goes off when staff or resident goes through the door without the code.

The surveyor asked whether V36 have seen R1 since he returned to the facility, V36 said No, I am out of the country now but when I returned, I will see him. The surveyor asked is it appropriate for R1 to go out without authorization / supervision? V36 said It shouldn't be safe for anyone in the nursing home even if they are alert and oriented because he was able to make his own decision to get to his son. The surveyor then clarifies from V36 Are you saying it is okay. V36 said I am saying is not okay, I would not want any of the resident at that time (of the day) to go out in the dark. The surveyor also asked V36 about what are the risk for R1 going out at that time without supervision and authorization, V36 said The risk can be fall like any one being at risk, there is traffic, loose your way. V36 added that R1 is alert times three knows what he was doing with BIMS of 15 at the time (tie of incident). The surveyor informed V36 that at the time of the incident R1's BIMS score was 11 and not 15.

He walked home rang the doorbell and his son answered the doorbell and then took him to the hospital for evaluation. The hospital released R1 back to us (Facility) on Friday and at that time my shift was over. V11 stated that R1 left the building because is fully aware of what he was doing, cognition is intact he wanted to go home, and he executed his plan. The receptionist leaves at 8pm, He (R1) waited till the front door was closed and left out of the building. When asked how she knows all these, V11 said V1 told her. The surveyor asked about how the residents are monitored /supervised to make sure the residents did not just go out without a pass/supervision. V22 said When the receptionist leaves there should be nurses and CNAs to redirect the residents. When asked about her professional opinion if R1 is able cognitively to go out of the facility without supervision/monitoring. V11 stated I want to say yes and no. Cognitively he was intact depending on his mental status at the time.

Findings include: R3 is a [AGE] year-old, male, admitted in the facility on 02/04/2020 with diagnoses of Bipolar Disorder, Unspecified; Other Reduced Mobility; Stiffness of Unspecified Joint, Not Elsewhere Classified; Weakness; and Limitation of Activities due to Disability. MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 12/24/24 recorded that R3 has BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 14 which means no impairment in cognition. His MDS also recorded that he needs substantial/maximal assistance for upper body dressing. R3 has impairment on both upper extremities. According to progress notes dated 02/20/25, while R3 was getting assistance with ADLs (activities of daily living) by CNA (Certified Nurse Aide), a pop sound from his (R3) left shoulder was heard. An Xray was ordered. R3's Radiology report dated 02/20/25 recorded: No recent fracture or dislocation. Incident report dated 02/26/25 documented that R3 was noted with swelling and bruising to his left upper and mid arm. R3 previously had a stat (immediately) Xray on the left shoulder done on 02/20/25 after a pop sound was heard as staff were assisting with pulling off his shirt. R3 was sent to the hospital for further evaluation and management. Hospital records dated 02/26/25 documented: R3 presented for evaluation of left upper extremity swelling. R3 states that earlier today aide at nursing facility was pulling patient's arm out of his shirt when he felt a snap and developed severe pain in his left shoulder. R3 continued to have left arm pain and swelling and thus was brought to ER (emergency room ) for further work-up. Hospital records also indicated that an Xray of the left humerus was performed showing R3 sustained an oblique displaced fracture through the proximal diaphysis of the left humerus. No focal geographic bony abnormality to suggest pathologic fracture. On 03/20/25 at 3:09 PM, V6 (Licensed Practical Nurse, LPN) was asked regarding R3 and incident on 02/20/25. V6 stated, On 02/20/25, it was V5 (CNA) who notified me to come to his (R3) room because he (V5) and V7 (CNA) were trying to assist him (R3) back to bed after dinner. I went to his (R3) room, he (R3) was agitated with them, said his left arm hurts, because they were trying to put him in bed. I did my assessment, no bruise, no open area. I called V14 (Nurse Practitioner), stat X-ray was ordered. I was off for 3 days, when I came back, I asked and was told that there was no fracture. Two to three days after, we got him up, V14 was trying to examine him and he couldn't move his (R3) arm, so he was sent out as ordered. V6 was asked if R3 has any limitations on his arms. V6 replied, Both arms are a bit contracted, unable to move his arms freely. He is dependent on staff for ADLs. He can still lift his arms a little. On 03/20/25 at 3:36 PM, V5 was interviewed regarding R3's incident on 02/20/25. V5 stated, I was one of the CNAs, I was helping V7. We were doing the care, taking his (R3) clothes off, and as we were taking his shirt off, he pulled away and that is when we heard a pop in his arm. He became agitated and that is when the pop came from his arm. I was the one taking his shirt off. Once I heard the pop, I immediately called the nurse. He did not complain of any pain. He was not agitated at first, he became agitated when I attempted to remove his shirt. This was the first time I worked with him (R3) and it happened. V5 was asked on how he removed R3's shirt. V5 continued, I tried to pull the shirt from the back when that didn't work, I grabbed the sleeve from his arm. I was holding his arm and I pulled the sleeve from his wrist and pulled it out. And that is when he became agitated and that's when the pop noise happened. On 03/20/25 at 3:47 PM, V7 was also asked regarding R3. V7 stated, We (V5 and me) were trying to take his (R3) sweater off. He kind of pulled back and we heard his arm popped and we go to get the nurse. It was the left that popped. He is alert and oriented. I don't know if his arms were contracted or not, that was my first time working with him. R3's Restorative Nursing Review Notes dated 12/24/24 recorded the following: Range of Motion: 2. Left shoulder - severe loss/less than 50% of norm 4. Left elbow - severe loss/less than 50% of norm 6. Left wrist and fingers - severe loss/less than 50% of norm Muscle strength and loss of functional movement: left shoulder, left elbow, left wrist - poor On 03/25/25 at 12:33 PM, V11 (CNA) was asked regarding R3 and range of motion. V11 stated, He has contracted upper extremities. He has stiffening on both arms, can bend elbows but shoulders are stiff. He is unable to move the upper extremities wide enough. If he gets agitated during dressing, depending on his mood, for the most part, he will kick his bed, [NAME] from side to side, he'll tell us to leave him alone. We will leave the room and come back later, otherwise he will not stop screaming. We will give him time to cool down and then attempt again later. When he gets agitated, he is not combative, he [NAME] from side to side and will scream. When we remove his shirt off, we don't hold the hand or arms. We will lay him in bed, we'll pull the shirt off by turning him from one side to another. When the shirt is on the upper chest, we will slide it over the head and slide out from the arms. We don't extend his arms at full length. For the most part, every CNA has had experience with him, knows how to do ADL care on him. On 03/25/25 at 1:01 PM, V12 (Licensed Practical Nurse, LPN) was interviewed regarding R3. V12 replied, He is alert. His upper extremities are contracted. He required total care; he is a feeder. He does not use his arms and hands; he could move them a little but not able to fully extend it to the sides or front. When we do ADL care, when removing shirt on R3, slide the shirt off from the back to head then slide it out from the sleeves. No need to pull or hold the hands. On 03/25/25 at 2:50 PM, V13 (Restorative Nurse) stated during interview, R3 had limitations to his bilateral shoulder. He could only extend his shoulders like less 50% of the norm. And any type of hyperextension, he cannot do it. His arms and shoulder cannot rotate. He usually wears loose fitting clothes. When you take his shirt off, pull the shirt off from the back, slide it over the head, slide it out to the arms, one arm at a time. You don't need to hold or grab his arms because his clothes are loose fitting and easy to take off. It is not necessary to hold his arm, just slide it off. He can be a little agitated especially when he wants something to do and he cannot do it, he become frustrated and agitated. He has a behavior of waddling himself and kind of pulling back, so any type of joint movement and when you are holding his hand or shirt can cause some resistance, and it could potentially lead to some type of pain or injury. That is why, when you are taking his shirt off, just let it slide off. He is alert enough to tell you what was going on. V3 (Director of Nursing) was also interviewed on 03/25/25 at 2:20 PM regarding R3. V3 stated, With the incident on 02/20/25 for R3, he pulled back while CNA was removing his shirt off from his left arm. The CNA said he had gotten agitated, resistive at that point. Whenever a resident gets agitated, let him cool down by not touching the resident, get another staff member involved, calm resident down. In other words, do not continue providing the care. V3 was also asked on how to remove R3's shirt. V3 verbalized, R3 is one of the residents with limited movements. His arms cannot go all the way up. He can move it to certain extent but not all the way. If you have a resident with contracted arms, you will pull the shirt off over the head first before pulling the shirt out to the arms. You don't have to hold the arm when pulling off the sleeves. If a resident has an impairment on one side, start with the normal side then to the impaired side. You should not hold the hand or arm when removing the shirt off. Let the sleeve slide out from the arms. On 03/25/25 at 11:38 AM, V9 (Social Services Director) was asked regarding R3's behavior. V9 stated, He is alert, oriented, no aggressive behavior, not overly delusional, gets agitated at times when refusing care, like he does not want to take shower or get out of bed. But not being difficult during assistance in ADL care, not that I am aware of. He is usually cooperative and compliant with care. He'll have those days that are not pleasant but most of the time, he is pleasant and cooperative. R3's care plan documented: Self-care deficit and requires assistance with ADLs to maintain the highest possible level of functioning as evidenced by the following limitations and potential contributing factors: limited bilateral shoulder and elbow range, poor bilateral hand grasp and dexterity, shoulder pain (revision dated 12/08/22) Intervention (02/05/2020) Explain all tasks prior to performing the ADL assistance. Use task segmentation and verbal cues as needed. Further review of R3's care plans showed that there were no interventions addressing behavior of agitation especially during ADL care and any special instructions on how to perform ADL care related to dressing. On 03/26/25 at 11:01 AM, V14 was asked regarding R3 and expectations on staff related to injury prevention during provision of care. V14 stated, R3 has limited mobility in his upper and lower extremities. I was notified that he had swelling and pain on the left arm and I sent him out to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment. I was told by V3 that when they were trying to dress him, he was resisting during ADL care, and they heard a pop. He was pulling away. He was resisting them while changing clothes and he pulled away. Usually, staff walks away or bring another staff member, give him a few minutes to calm down and try again. I expect staff to take into account what his behavior at the moment and how he respond, if not, step away and come back at a later time, give him time to cool down, this is the key in order to make him safe. He has some mental issues, in a minute they appeared to be cooperative then in a second they snap, behavior change, staff has to step back or redirect him. Facility's policy titled Behavioral Management for New or Worsening Behavior Symptoms dated 4/14 documented in part but not limited to the following: Purpose: To determine the cause of the behavior To prevent the resident from harming self or others To establish guidelines for reducing or preventing behaviors when possible Policy: It is the policy of the Nursing Department to determine the cause of behaviors when possible and initiate interventions to reduce, control, or prevent identified behaviors. Facility's policy titled Activities of Daily Living dated 4/14 stated in part but not limited to the following: Purpose: To preserve ADL function, promote independence and increase self-esteem and dignity. Implementation of Mobility Programs: Develop individualized care plan utilizing resident-centered goals. Provide special instructions and precautions. There was no other policy presented by facility related to prevention of accidents during ADL care or during provision of care upon request.

Based on interviews, observations and record review, the facility failed to provide adequate supervision to 1 (R4) of 3 (R1, R3 and R4) residents and the physical enviornment review for accidents, this failure resulted in R4 gaining access to the laundry room, that should have been locked, and once R4 gained entry to the laundry room, the facilty's lack of supervision allowed R4 to gain access to a laundry detergent that spilled on his right foot causing a chemical burn that required treament at the local hospital. Findings include: R4's electronic medical record indicated resident admitted to facility on 05/01/2023 and has a past medical history not limited to: bipolar type schizoaffective disorder, depression, anxiety, burn of unspecified degree of right foot, iron-deficiency anemia, and age-related physical debility. Facility final incident report dated 06/29/2024 indicated R4 reported to nurse that he had blisters on his right foot. R4 complained of a burning sensation to his right foot after some detergent fell on his shoe while washing some items.

Care plan last revised on 06/24/2024 indicated R4 has altered skin integrity related to chemical burn to right great toe tip extending to medial aspect and right medial forefoot extending to dorsal aspect of toes. Same care plan with revision date of 06/25/2024 indicated a focus for R4 to engage in vocational activities with goal to perform duties as discussed with V1 (Administrator) and appropriate department head 5 days per week. Interventions included but not limited to: observe resident during program, and minimize risk factors through interventions such as assessment, team consultation, supervision, observation, structured environment, and peer-buddy system. Burn outpatient preliminary report dated 06/25/2024 indicated R4 presented to burn clinic for evaluation of chemical burn sustained at facility on 06/23/2024 while working in laundry department where his shoes and socks became covered with powdered bleach when it was wasted onto his wet shoes and R4 sustained burn wound to the dorsal, medial foot, and dorsal toes of his right foot with dead skin overlying the burned area. (Report incorrectly indicated left foot.) Treatment was rendered, wound cleaning and healing ointments both applied (see treatment orders below), then covered with gauze dressing and orders to return to the burn clinic in one week. Treatment orders for R4 with print date of 07/01/2024 showed an order to apply a debridement ointment (removes damaged/dead tissue to promote wound healing) to right great toe tip and right medial foot after normal saline cleanse, then apply an antimicrobial cream to gauze and lay over wound bed and cover with dry dressing daily and as needed. On 07/01/2024 at 12:06 PM, V4 (Assistant Director of Nursing) said on 06/23/24, R4 went into the laundry room behind the kitchen area on the first floor, but was not allowed to be in this room unsupervised. She also said that she believed the laundry aide was on duty but wasn't present at the time that R4 had entered the laundry room. V4 (ADON) then said R4 saw some detergent in a box on the floor, so he opened the packet and had spilled some onto his shoe when he later felt his foot burning and saw some blisters on his foot. She added that R4 was sent out and returned same day with treatment orders and to follow-up with the burn clinic. V4 added that she was unaware of what specific detergent caused the chemical burn to R4's foot but indicated that V1 (Administrator) was aware of the name. On 07/01/2024 at 12:48 PM, V1 (Administrator) said R4 was allowed to participate in an activities/vocational training program to deal with his anxiety by doing simple tasks that included: scraping plates after meals then taking trays to the doorway of kitchen, mop up a spill on the floor, pick up trash from offices and take the trash to the back door. He added that all chemicals in use for R4 are premixed for him, such as with a cleaning product and water. V1 (Administrator) then said on day of incident (06/23/2024), R4 went into the laundry room per self, saw some detergent stored in a box, opened the box and removed a packet of detergent from the box, and then tried to put the detergent into the washing machine when he spilled some on his foot. V1 added that this occurred at approximately 3:00 PM but R4 did not report the incident and/or the blisters on his feet to his nurse until approximately 4:30PM who sent R4 out for further treatment and evaluation. V1 (Administrator) then said that the detergent was determined to be a whitening detergent that their vendor wanted the facility to try and wasn't previously used by facility. V1 added that the laundry product that caused the burn to R4's foot was in a box near the washers but was removed from the building after incident and will not be used by facility. V1 provided the product safety data sheet (SDS) for review. Safety data sheet with issue date of 01/26/2024 that indicated the laundry product was a multi-purpose stain blaster reserved for industrial and professional use with no dilution information provided that may cause skin irritation, allergic skin reaction, and/or serious eye damage. SDS sheet indicated to wear personal protective equipment including gloves/clothing/eye and face protection and to store the product locked up. On 07/01/2024 at 1:24 PM, V6 (Social Services Director) said R4's cognition is always intact, but he can be anxious at times so facility explored therapeutic interventions and activities that were appropriate for R4 to perform. She added that R4 enjoyed cleaning, so she referred him to the appropriate department heads who only inquired about R4's mental state/cognition and did not include V6 in the planning. V6 (SSD) then said she has never been done this type of intervention/activities in the past with any other resident and indicated that no type of safety contract was initiated for R4 related to the activities/duties he would be performing. On 07/01/2024 at 1:51 PM, R4 said that he takes himself into the laundry area because the laundry doors are not locked and there's no code to unlock the door. R4 added that he's washed clothes and operated the machines before to help the laundry staff. R4 said on day of incident, there was no one present of working in the laundry room. He then said after loading the washer with soiled white linens and incontinence pads, he saw a box filled with packets of a bleach detergent, opened it, then spilled some to the top of his right shoe when he tried to add packet into the washer. R4 then said that he felt a burning sensation to his right foot, so he had removed his shoe, took off his sock, then put his shoe back on. R4 added that he stayed in the laundry room for a while longer to finish what he was previously doing and at no time did any staff come to the laundry room while he was there. R4 then said a few hours later, he informed his nurse during medication administration about the incident and of the burning sensation. He said the nurse (V9) put a dressing on his foot and said R4 had to be sent to local hospital. R4 said he went to the emergency room , they cleaned his foot, applied a dressing then sent him back to the facility. R4 added that he followed up with the burn clinic on the next day and has a second appointment on 07/02/2024. R4 said at times, he still feels a burning sensation to his right foot that comes and goes. On 07/01/2024 at 2:24 PM, observed V10 (Wound Care Nurse) provide wound care to R4's right foot prior to applying a new dressing. During wound care, observed open areas to tip of great toe and lateral side extending to medial aspect. Also observed open area to top of foot from medial base of great toe through dorsal aspect (fourth toe) and noted edema throughout R4's right foot. V10 said the areas are considered two wounds, with one cluster extending from great toe to fourth toe and from side of great toe and around to front. She added that R4's wounds are documented as full thickness wounds with slough, with red smooth areas throughout wounds. On 07/01/2024 at 2:50 PM, toured laundry area that is across from dietary department in back hallway with V1 (Administrator). Observed a lock on laundry doorknob and the door propped open with an armchair placed in the doorway. Upon entering the laundry room, a laundry staff member removed the chair from the doorway and placed it against the wall next to door. V1 then said the laundry door should always be locked when no staff is present. On 07/02/2024 at 10:51 AM, V2 (Assistant Administrator) said the laundry department is closed from 2:00 PM until 4:00 PM so on the day of R4's incident, the laundry department was closed. Reviewed working schedule and hours worked provided by V2 that showed no laundry staff were working on day of incident (06/23/2024) between the hours of 1:30 PM through 4:13 PM. On 07/02/2024 at 11:31 PM, V3 (Director of Nursing) said R4 he was not allowed to be in the laundry room because this is not included on his list of activities to do. V3 added that no resident is allowed in the laundry room, and the door should be locked if no staff is present. She also said that no door should be propped open at any time. On 07/02/2024 at 11:38 AM, V9 (Licensed Practical Nurse) said at approximately 8:30 PM on day of incident, he was preparing medications when R4 came to the nurse's station and said something fell on his right foot. V9 said he and R4 went to his room, R4 removed his shoe and sock to his right foot and V9 saw what looked like blisters to his first four toes, were not fluid-filled. V9 added that R4 complained of a burning sensation to the foot that did not look like a recent injury. R4 informed V9 (LPN) that some bleach fell on his gym shoe while he was in the laundry room. V9 called the treatment nurse, manager on duty and the administrator then cleaned R4's wound with normal saline and applied a wet to dry dressing. He then spoke to the physician and received order to send R4 to the hospital where he stayed for a few hours then returned with a dressing in place and orders to follow up with the burn clinic. On 07/02/2024 at 01:32 PM, V1 (Administrator) said no one stands over R4 to watch him perform his duties that have since been discontinued post R4's incident. V1 then said that R4 was able to access the laundry room because it was found during investigation that the lock to the laundry room door was not functioning properly and required the lock to be changed out with new keys reissued to laundry staff. Reviewed vendor sales receipt dated 06/24/2024 that showed the purchase of a new lock system and copies made for four additional keys. Reviewed supervision and safety policy dated 03/15 that reads in part: policy strives to make the environment as free from hazards as possible. Safety risks and environmental hazards are identified on an ongoing basis through employee training conducted upon hire, annually and as needed. Resident supervision is a core component to resident safety. Staff to make visual rounds on residents minimally every two hours and more often if necessary based on resident's assessment needs.

F689J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to prevent a resident (R1) from obtaining a severe burn from a radiator heater connected to the wall when R1's bed was pushed against the wall for one out of three residents reviewed for accidents and incidents in a total sample of four. This failure resulted in R1 suffering second and third degree burns to the left leg requiring a hospitalization where R1 received a debridement and skin graft surgery. The Immediate Jeopardy that began on 3/19/23 was removed on 3/21/23 when the facility removed the heater on the wall from R1's room. The administrator was notifed on 04/14/23. This past non-compliance occurred from 03/19/23 through 03/21/23. Findings Include: R1 is a [AGE] year old with the following diagnosis: peripheral venous insufficiency, cerebral infarction, and weakness. R1 admitted to the facility on [DATE]. A Nursing note dated 3/19/23 documents upon doing rounds, R1 was heard, moaning and complaining of left leg pain. The nurse helped turn R1 from the left side to the right side. A burn was then observed on the left lateral lower leg. The burn appeared red with a blister, when I asked what happened, R1 stated that the bed was close to the heater attached to the wall and the heat was too warm and burned. R1's leg. The burn was cleansed and left to air dry. The physician was called and orders were received to apply a burn cream twice a day and a burn wound consult. R1 denied any pain or discomfort. A Nursing note dated 3/20/23 documents the nurse practitioner evaluated R1's left leg wound and gave verbal orders to send to the burn specialist to evaluate the left leg burn wound. A Nurse Practitioner note dated 3/20/23 documents R1 was assessed due to a new wound. Per R1, R1 was sleeping with the leg up against the heater on the wall when R1 noticed the leg beginning to hurt. R1 called the nurse and that is when the nurse noted R1 had a wound on the left leg, as it was lying on the heater on the wall. R1 was repositioned immediately to get the leg off the heater and a burn was identified. After coordination with the wound team and a complete assessment, it was decided to send R1 to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment, which requires a higher level of care. The wound to the left leg extends from the thigh to below the knee. The wound is red and dry at the proximal portion of the wound. There is darkness to the middle portion of the wound. There is a large serous filled blister at the distal portion of the wound just below the knee. A Nursing note dated 3/20/23 documents R1 was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of a full thickness, third-degree burn to the left leg. R1 is scheduled to have surgery in the morning. A Nursing note dated 3/23/23 documents R1 had a debridement to the left leg burn site with a skin graft. The Final Investigative Report Form dated 3/19/23 documents R1 was lying in bed and complained of pain to the left leg. Upon assessment, the left leg was noted with redness and a clear fluid filled blister area. The doctor was made aware and treatment orders were received, as well as a consult for a burn wound. The next morning, the nurse practitioner and the wound care nurse assessed R1's leg. The nurse practitioner gave orders to send R1 out to the hospital for a burn consult. R1 was admitted to the hospital and remains in the hospital this time. The Hospital Records dated 3/20/23 documents R1 presented to the emergency room with a burn. R1's bed was next to the radiator. R1 had pain to the left knee where the burn was but endorse it has improved. The physical exam shows left knee erythematous (redness) with evidenced of a popped blister with cream over line. The left medial knee has a palm size blister. Plastic surgery/burn physician was consulted. The assessment from the burn physician indicated R1 sustained a full and partial thickness burn to the left lower extremity. R1 reported sleeping in R1's bed, which is next to the radiator when R1 felt the radiator burn R1's leg. The burn is 2% total body surface area to the left distal thigh, knee, and proximal lower leg. The central portion of the burn is full thickness with edges of partial thickness. A large blister is noted distantly. R1 was admitted to the burn intensive care unit. On 3/23/23, a fascial excision (excision of the full thickness and subcutaneous tissue to create a reliable bed for skin grafting) of the burn and autograft placement was performed with the donor site being from the left thigh. On 3/31/23 at 1:56PM, this surveyor went to make observation in the room where R1 stayed. The radiator heater previously attached to the wall was removed. There is an empty space on the wall where the radiator used to sit. The empty space shows the radiator heater was attached to the wall about 1 foot from the floor and was approximately 6 feet long down the length of the wall. At 2:01PM, R2 walked in the room and was interviewed. When asked what happened to R1, R2 stated R1 burned R1's left leg on the heater that used to be on the wall. R2 endorsed that night R1 was making noises causing R2 to wake up and that is when everyone started coming in the room to check on R1. R2 denied R1 screaming out for help but was moaning and saying Ouch. It hurts. R2 reported seeing the burn the next morning and described it starting from the lateral, mid-thigh and extending to the just below the lateral knee with a fluid filled blister the size of a golf ball. R2 also stated the wound was red in color. R2 stated R1 went to the hospital the next day because the blister got larger. On 3/31/23 at 2:50PM, V3 (Nurse) stated, I came in on Monday morning and the burn looked really bad. I thought to myself R1 needs a burn unit. We got orders to send R1 to a hospital burn unit. There was a heater on the wall, and R1's bed was pushed against the wall. R1 turned that way towards the wall in bed, and R1's leg came off the bed and was touching the heater. The heater was like an old radiator type of heater. R1 had kind of two spots of where the burn was. Then below the knee R1 had a very large blister. I would say it was about the size of a fist. There was another blister on the side of the knee that had popped. You could tell a blister was there. R1's pretty much total care but R1 can turn. R1 is overall weak. R1 does have venous insufficiency, so R1 probably couldn't feel what was burning R1 because of the lack of blood flow. R1 might not have been strong enough to get his leg back over after it was touching the heater, or R1 might have been in too much pain to lift it off alone. On 3/31/23 at 3:39PM, V4 (Maintenance Director) stated, I don't really have anything to do with the heaters. We only check those when they're broken. It's a hardwired space heater. The ones that are mounted to the walls are in working condition. Only the rooms at the end of the halls have the heaters connected to the wall because they are right next to a stairwell so it could be colder in their rooms from some drafts. I did not check any temperatures in that room of the heater that I can remember. I know there's a dial on there with three different settings that the residents can access if they want to. I don't check the knobs. If you left your skin on there for too long, it would probably burn. No, I still don't have to check any temperatures of the heaters. On 3/31/23 at 3:46PM, V5 (Nurse) stated, I answered the call light and R1 was complaining of heat coming from the heater that was attached to the wall. R1 asked to be pushed away from the wall because R1 was too hot. I pushed the bed away and R1 moaned in pain. R1 started talking about R1's left leg hurting. It was covered with a blanket, so I couldn't see it. When I took the blanket off to look at it, I saw the skin was off superficially, and R1 had a small blister. The blister was on the left lower lateral leg near the knee. The red area went all the way up on the lateral side of the thigh. It didn't go all the way up the side, but probably to the middle of the thigh. I would say the blister started off as a golf ball size then got a little bit bigger. No, I did not tell anyone when it got bigger. That's usually what blisters do. I went into check on R1 for my first round around 11PM and R1 was sleeping. R1 wasn't complaining of anything so that did not prompt me to do anything. R1 can turn from side to side. R1 uses a wheelchair to get around. R1 couldn't really say what happened or why R1 kept R1's leg there. I don't know all the diagnoses of the residents so if R1 does have a diagnosis of that (PVD), then that could be a reason R1 kept R1's leg there. R1 might not have felt it getting hot. R1's bed was up against the wall when I came in but because the blanket was covering R1. I could not see if R1's leg was on the heater the first time I rounded on R1 so I didn't do anything then. I can't really remember exactly what time it happened but I want to say it was between 2 and 3 AM. On 3/31/23 at 4:28PM, V6 (CNA) stated, I first saw R1 around 10PM when I came in and did my first rounds. R1 was sleeping then. The nurse (V5) came in around 11PM and she did her first rounds and saw R1 sleeping too. I can't remember what time it happened but I saw R1 again still sleeping after midnight. I was doing my rounds again and the nurse called me into R1's room to show me the burn. R1 had a burn on the side of R1s knee with a blister just below the knee. It was probably a little bit bigger than a gold ball. R1 is able to turn by himself in bed. I think when R1 turned R1 was just sleeping on the heater and didn't realize it until R1 was burned. When I went into R1's room to check on R1, it looked like R1 was just sleeping under the blankets. I saw R1's bed up against the wall but I couldn't see R1's leg touching the heater because the blankets were touching it. I don't know why R1's bed was against the wall. I don't remember R1's bed being against the wall before. On 3/31/23 at 4:40PM, V7 (Nurse) stated, I worked the evening shift the day before it happened. R1 didn't complain of anything to me that shift when I was leaving. I do remember R1'ss bed was up against the wall, but I didn't think R1 could touch the heater. I didn't ask R1 why R1's bed was against the wall. The burn was a big red area on the side of his leg. It went from the thigh to a little below the knee. It was probably as thick as the top part of the heater. There was a blister on it too. It was probably the size of a golf ball. On 4/3/23 at 4:17PM, V8 (Burn Unit Physician) stated, R1 had both second and third degree burns to the left leg. Second degree means it goes partially through the dermis which is the second layer of skin under the epidermis. A third degree burn is a full thickness burn which goes all the way through the epidermis and dermis. This burn was more complicated because it was near a joint. A third degree burn around a joint can cause a contracture. R1 ended up needing a skin graft to assist in healing the area. Skin grafts are the main course of treatment for extensive, more serious burns. It would take much longer to heal and a greater risk for infection if no skin graft was done. For a burn that is second or third degree, it would need to be something 108 degrees or higher that touches the skins for about 2 - 3 minutes. I can't say exactly how long he had his leg on the heater, but most people have the instinct to immediately remove their body from something that feels hot. We know he at least had it on the heater 2 - 3 minutes if it was 108 degrees. Yes, he does have a history of peripheral vascular disease so that could have distorted his perception of how hot the heater really was. PVD causes decreased sensation because of the decrease of circulation and the narrowing of the blood vessels. Any burn with a blister that is growing in size should be seen as soon as possible. A burn is considered an open wound so you increase the risk of infection. Burns also cause dehydration through fluid loss. Because this was over a joint, this would be considered an area that needed to be treated immediately because of the location. With a burn around a joint, the skin, muscles, and tendons can tighten causing much more severe damage. On 4/4/23 at 10:49AM, V9 (Nurse Practitioner) stated, The burn just didn't look great. My gut said to send R1 out. It was a large wound to the left thigh that traveled down past the knee. There was a lot of redness with a blister. The blister was the size of maybe one of the cutie oranges. After speaking with the wound nurse and the floor nurse, we decided R1 needed a specialized burn unit to care for this wound. R1 told me R1 rolled over in R1's sleep and R1 felt R1's leg getting hot. R1 put on the call light to get the nurse to help R1 and they found the burn on R1's leg. On 4/4/23 at 11:03AM, V10 (Wound Care Nurse) stated, I saw R1 when I came in on Monday. I measured the area and assessed R1. I was told R1 laid R1's leg on the heater. The wound was an open red area from the thigh all the way down past the knee a little. I was on the lateral side. R1 also had a blister on the wound closer towards the bottom. It was big. I would say probably the size of a grapefruit. On 4/4/23 at 4:00PM, V2 (DON) stated, We found the cause of the burn was the bed being against the wall. R1 told me it made R1 feel more secure when R1 was moving in the bed. R1 was mostly independent with bed mobility. R1 just wasn't able to transfer alone. We don't know why R1 kept R1's leg there long enough to get burned. Doing more thorough rounds would help prevent or decrease injuries like this. On 4/6/23 at 11:08AM, This surveyor walked in the room mid-dressing change to the left leg. There were 2 sites noted. The wound to the top of the left thigh was the donor site. It is pink and a rectangle shape. The second site was the graft site which is located about inch above the lateral left knee to about the middle of the calf. That wound is red with dark red edges around the whole wound. The thigh was treated with Silvadene, xeroform, and a dry abdominal pad. The lateral knee was treated with xeroform and a dry abdominal pad. R1 has a purple discoloration completely around both legs starting from the ankle extending up the leg about 3-4 inches. The surveyor questioned V11 (Outside Facility Wound Care Nurse) what the discoloration was on the legs and V11 stated, R1 has PVD. That can cause discoloration to the legs because of the lack of circulation. On 4/6/23 at 11:16AM, V11 stated, The wound to the top of the thigh is the donor site. That is 10.5cm x 16cm. The lower leg is 22cm x 13.5cm. The wound to the top of the thigh has gotten smaller R1 admitted to us, but the graft site has remained the same. R1 admitted to us on 3/30/23 from the hospital burn unit. R1 is not able to roll himself when we do the dressing changes. R1 can assist in helping us turn, but R1 can't do it alone. On 4/6/23 at 11:22AM, R1 stated, I went to bed that night sometime between 9 and 10PM. The CNA (V12) put me to bed that night. While V12 was putting me to bed, V12 pushed my bed against the wall. I don't know how it happened or why V12 did it. I didn't ask for that. I don't remember having my bed against the wall before. I didn't feel it right away but when I was trying to go to sleep, my leg was hot. I knew I was touching the heater then. I had a blanket under my leg so I thought I would have been ok. I didn't think I was going to burn myself. The pain kept getting worse and I couldn't take it anymore so I put on my call light. The nurse (V5) came in my room and helped me. I told V5 to push my bed away from the wall because I was too hot. When V5 moved me, I told V5 my leg really hurt. V5 looked at it and told me I was burned on me leg. I had my leg on the heater probably about an hour or a little more than that. I know it wasn't very long after V5 got there that I called for help. I tried to sleep but I was sleeping on and off because my leg was so hot. I didn't move my leg off the heater. The nurse had to do it for me. I can't move my legs too good with the blankets on top of them. I guess I'm not strong enough. I use a lift to get in my wheelchair and that is how they put me back in bed that night. I sometimes need help adjusting in bed. I can use my arms good and push myself up a little, but my legs don't work so good anymore. I didn't go back to that facility because after this happened there is too much danger there. This burn made me realize I don't feel safe with them taking care of me. On 4/6/23 at 1:36PM, V12 stated, I put R1 to bed around 8:30 - 9PM. I put R1 in with a lift. We use that because R1's unstable on R1's feet and unsteady with R1's gait. That night, R1 asked me to scoot R1's bed against the wall because R1 wasn't feeling well. R1 said R1 wanted R1's bed against the wall, and R1 was afraid of hanging out of the bed a little bit. No, I didn't tell anyone R1 was feeling this way. I just did what R1 asked. R1 never asked me to do that before. I did my last round about 10:15 PM and R1 was sleeping. I walked over and I watched R1 breathe and R1 didn't say he had any problems then. R1 did have the blanket covering R1's body. I didn't let anyone know I pushed the bed against the wall. I didn't think he could touch the heater. The Treatment Nurse Initial Skin Alteration Review dated 3/20/23 documents R1 has a full thickness wound to the left knee extending to the lower left leg. Per this assessment, a full thickness wound is defined as skin loss with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis, or damage to underlying structures, such as muscle, tendon, or bone. It may present as a deep crater and may even tunnel into surrounding subcutaneous tissues. The size of the wound is documented as 26 cm x 10 cm. It is 30% slough tissue, 40% red (smooth), and 30% clear fluid filled blister. There is a small amount of serous drainage. A predisposing risk factor for developing the wound is immobility and PVD. The Side Rail Review dated 3/20/23 documents R1 needs extensive assist with bed mobility. R1 is not able to turn from side to side unassisted while in bed. The Care Plan dated 11/24/21 documents R1 has peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and is at an increased risk of skin integrity issues. R1 has potential for diminished blood flow to the bilateral lower extremities. The Care Plan dated 4/11/22 documents R1 needs a mechanical lift for transfers due to lower extremity strength, impaired range of motion of the lower extremities, and weakness. The Care Plan dated 3/24/23 documents R1 has an alteration of skin, integrity, related to impaired mobility status, decreased sensory perception, comorbidities, and PVD. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R1 is an extensive two-person physical assist with bed mobility and transfers. Section I of the MDS documents R1 has a diagnosis of peripheral venous insufficiency. Section M of the MDS documents R1 does not have any pressure ulcers or burns. Prior to the survey date the facility took the following actions to correct the noncomplaince. All rooms in facility, all units were visited, and beds were rearranged as necessary to ensure no beds are pushed against the walls or close to heating units on March 20, 2023.

F600G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to prevent or determine how an injury of unknown origin occurred for 1 of 3 residents (R10) reviewed for resident injuries in a total sample of thirteen. This failure resulted in R10 being found with fractures to multiple ribs and multiple lumbar spine in various stages of healing and a hemothorax (collection of blood in the space between the visceral and pleura space) of the right lung. Findings Include: R10 is a [AGE] year old with the following diagnosis: dysphagia, catatonic disorder, and developmental disorder. R10 admitted to the facility on [DATE]. A Nursing note dated 4/10/23 at 1:04 PM documents R10 was noted with excessive drooling and is unable to swallow puree, consistency food. Speech therapy evaluated R10 and spoke with the physician. The physician ordered to send R10 to the hospital for failure to thrive and unable to swallow. A Nursing note dated 4/10/23 at 3:25 PM documents R10's family member was made aware of the bedside swallow evaluation by speech therapy. The left hand was also noted with mild edema along with left lower cheek swelling. The ambulance transportation company came to pick up R10. A Nursing note dated 4/10/23 at 10:23 PM documents R10 is admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of fever and dysphasia. A Nursing note dated 4/11/23 documents a physician from the hospital called and reported that R10 has acute and chronic multiple rib fractures, a pleural effusion with a chest tube, and an acute pneumothorax. The physician asked if the facility suspected any abuse or not. A Social Service note dated 4/12/23 documents the facility received notification from the hospital that R10 was found to have both chronic and acute fractures of the ribs. These injuries are an unknown source in an abuse investigation has begun. A police report was attempted to be created, but the responding officer could not file the report due to R10 not being in the facility. On 4/13/23 at 1:47PM, V3 (Nurse) stated, R10 was sent out that afternoon because R10 wasn't eating. The top of R10's left hand was a little swollen too. I noticed it when I was giving R10 morning medications. R10 is total care. R10 can't do anything for herself. R10 can't even feed herself. R10 can't get back up by herself into the bed after a fall. R10 would absolutely need help. There were no reports that anything happened to R10 or that anything else was different about R10. I called the hospital to check on her and got a diagnosis of pleural effusion, pneumothorax, and acute and chronic rib fractures. I told the next nurse and then called the administrator. On 4/13/23 at 1:57PM, V18 (CNA) stated, R10 can't talk. I got nothing in report from the other CNA's or nurses that anything happened to R10. R10 cannot stand or walk around, but R10 will roll out of bed. R10 needs a lift because R10 is total care. On 4/13/23 at 2:07PM, V19 (CNA) stated, There were no accidents on any of my shifts with R10. I didn't get any reports but any thing happened to R10. R10 can't do anything for herself. R10 might try to sit up in the bed but that is it. R10 can only roll. R10 uses a lift to go from the bed to the chair because R10 can't get up herself. On 4/13/23 at 2:44PM, V5 (Nurse) stated, I gave R10 one pill in the morning before I left. R10 drank some of the shake and took the pill with no problem. I did not get any report from any other nurses or CNA's that R10 had something happen. R10 can't walk or stand. If R10 were to fall, R10 could not get back to bed by herself. It takes 3 to 4 people to get her back into the bed when R10 does fall. On 4/19/23 at 9:52AM, V20 (Hospital Nurse) stated, R10 was put on nasal cannula because R10 was satting at 93% on room air. They did a right upper quadrant ultrasound of her abdomen because her liver enzymes were elevated and that's when they discovered she had a pleural effusion to the right lung. R10 needed to have a nonrebreather place because R10 was satting in the 80s. They did a chest x-ray on 4/11, and that was concerning for bilateral lower rib fractures that were recent and a right hemothorax. In the report, it mentions that the fractures can be correlated with a history of trauma or abuse. They did another chest x-ray later that day, and it showed multiple bilateral rib fractures of the lower ribs. On 4/11 in the evening R10 had a CT of the chest/abdomen/pelvis that showed multiple rib fractures with callous formation indicating that the fractures had been there for sometime. R10 also had fractures of the lumbar spine on L1, L2, and L3. The L1 and L3 had callous formation. On the 11th and 12th rib those did not have callous formation, indicating that they were new fractures. L2 did not have callous formation. That indicated it was a newer fracture. We are not sure where the hemothorax occurred. I know with all the fractures R10 had there was a concern from doctors on if it was trauma related like a fall versus a concern for abuse. I don't see anything in R10's history that would cause R10 to have these type of fractures without some type of trauma. On 5/2/23 at 3:23PM, V2 stated We ended up sending R10 out on the 10th because R10 was having some dysphasia for a couple days. We didn't get notified of the rib fractures and hemothorax until the next evening after R10 was admitted . I know R10 did end up needing oxygen because R10's saturations were in the 80s but that wasn't until later in the evening as well. R10 didn't start showing signs until she got to the hospital later. On 5/3/23 at 9:20AM, V23 stated R10 ended up having multiple rib fractures with a hemothorax and lumbar fractures. Usually those type of fractures are from a fall or some kind of trauma. Usually symptoms start to occur 48 to 72 hours after the fracture. I've seen cases where it's taking up to a week to develop symptoms, because the bleed happens slowly. Because we aren't able to tell what happened. I cannot say exactly when this occurred. I know V1 and V2 have talked with all staff going back a couple weeks, and they have no evidence that there was any type of trauma or fall. I know R10 had a jaw fracture in December when R10 fell and that was seen on the x-rays at the current hospital and it was documented as chronic. The fractures were different varying degrees. The story just does not add up. Acute fractures mean that they are newer and they have happened within the last 4 to 6 weeks. Subacute fractures means that there's some callus formation so they have had to have happened anytime after the six weeks. R10 may have poor nutrition because of not eating well before R10 went to the hospital, but usually these type of fractures only occur with trauma or falls. The Hospital Records dated 12/11/22 documents R10 was sent to the hospital status post fall and was noted with a hematoma to the forehead and a swollen bottom lip. Imaging returned with no acute intracranial, cervical spine abnormalities, and no abnormality on the chest x-ray or x-ray of the pelvis. The CT of the face is significant for an acute fracture of the right hemi mandible. The chest x-ray report documents, no pleural effusion or large pneumothorax. No acute osseous abnormalities. There is no documentation of any fractures in the chest or spine at this time. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R10 does not have a Brief Interview for Mental Status score because R10 is rarely/never understood. Section G of the MDS documents R10 is a 2 person physical extensive assist for bed mobility and transfers. R10 needs a one person, extensive physical assist with dressing, eating, and locomotion on/off unit. The Physician Order Sheet documents an order for an x-ray of the left hand was placed on 4/10/23. The order was discontinued due to R10 being transferred out of the hospital. The Hospital Records dated 4/10/23 document R10 presented to the hospital for worsening dysphasia for the past 2 days. R10 has an oxygen level of 93% on room air so a nasal cannula was placed at 2L. R10 also has a fever of 100.8 F. A right upper quadrant ultrasound was performed and shows a right plural effusion. Around midnight on 4/11/23, R10 became hypoxic to 80% and was placed on a nonrebreather mask. The right chest x-ray shows complete opacification (haziness) of the right hemithorax (a collection of blood in the pleural space) and right lower rib fractures. R10 has normal respirations with no distress and is currently not requiring any oxygen, despite needing oxygen overnight. R10 has right lower flank/anterior chest tenderness on exam and R10 nods yes when I asked if in pain. There is no apparent skin erythema/edema/bruising. The facility was attempted to be contacted for questioning for possible trauma. The CT scans show bilateral rib fractures, chronic (majority) subacute, and some possible acute. There is also a right hemithorax pleural effusion and multiple chronic lumbar and subacute lumbar transverse process fractures. A chest tube was placed for the large plural effusion. The plural effusion is subacute because R10 does not have any respiratory distress, and there is no additional O2 requirement. The rib fractures are at varying degrees of healing.

Resident's daughter had POA for resident's healthcare but due to not being involved in resident's care, resident was awarded a state guardian with Office of State Guardian due to resident's inability to make decisions for himself and daughter's inability to provide care for resident. Review of court papers appointing a temporary guardian for R4 states the following: the appointment of state guardianship is required because there is no individual suitable and willing to accept the guardianship appointment, removal of the alleged disabled person from any placement is prohibited pending the outcome of plenary hearing.

The last time she visited, she told the receptionist that she was taking him to lunch, and he never returned. At 4:10PM, V1 (Administrator) said that resident's daughter has not taken him out before, he added that families are allowed to take residents out unless there is a restriction, in that case they will leave something at the front desk, R4 did not have any restrictions so no instructions were left at the front desk.

V4 said that she is not aware of any restrictions on R4's daughter visiting or taking him out, usually the administrator gives family members permission and if he is not in the facility, V4 said she will give him a call, she did not call V1 on that day because she has worked in the facility for 5 years and knows pretty much who goes with who. V4 added that she did not tell the administrator when he came back to the building, did not know that resident did not come back until the following day when the administrator told her.

V7 added that the receptionist was supposed to check the book or ask somebody to do it for her, and she believe that even the administrator should talk to the guardian before giving any permission, the information should be documented somewhere, and all staff should be made aware of it.
