I move about the unit with the help of 1 person, I use a wheelchair with calf supports/pads . also dated 1/23/20. On 3/4/20 at 1:00 pm, the facility's Director of Quality (DOQ) provided a copy of Resident #15's care plan, and a printout of some of the changes that had been made to the resident's care plan since September 2019. The DOQ stated, Unfortunately, we are struggling with our system a little and it seems as though not all of the care plan changes are showing up. The care plan changes we have provided you are the only ones we could find, prior to the January 23 care plan. Review of the care plan updates provided revealed no care plan for his/her mobility or pain levels prior to the current care plan, or what care plan may have been in place at the time of the resident's injury. An interview with the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) on 3/5/20 at 4:54 pm revealed he/she had just started working at the facility around the time Resident #15 fractured his/her ankle and had not been completely aware of the circumstances at the time. The IDON stated after he/she began working at the facility it became apparent that the nurse manger in charge of wound care and was responsible to report changes in status of the residents to facility leadership was either not documenting or falsifying documentation, so was terminated. The IDON stated that nurse would have been the person to whom the bruising was likely reported, and no record was made of what had been done to respond to the bruising. The IDON stated communication between the lodges and management was obviously still an issue. The IDON agreed that 14 days between the onset of bruising and the identification of a fracture was too long. An interview with the DOQ on 3/5/20 at 5:15 pm revealed facility leadership had been unaware of Resident #15's fracture until it was called to their attention by the surveyors. The DOQ stated, We didn't have any policies on how to handle those types of things at the time, and definitely no consistent practice. We made some management changes around that time, including the Administrator and Director of Nursing. Then we had a complaint survey and they found we weren't identifying things like this as something we should investigate, and we got a deficiency. I can tell you what should happen now. If the nurse sees bruising, (he/she) would generate an Unusual Occurrence Report which starts a whole investigation that includes notifying the doctor and making sure we have treatment going. I agree 14 days was too long, and there were too many signs that (he/she) may have had a fracture at the time. I wouldn't want to wait that long, and I wouldn't want my parent to wait that long. The DOQ stated it was not the facility's practice to monitor bruising each day or each shift, only that the nurse should continue to document on it daily until it was resolved. The DOQ stated the facility did not have a system or policy for how frequently to monitor residents for pain, and typically a pain assessment was only completed if a nurse used an as needed pain medication for a resident. An interview with CNA #1, CNA #2, and CNA #6 on 3/5/20 at 5:45 pm revealed CNA #1 had been on duty on 9/9/19 when she noticed Resident #15's right foot had fallen off of the foot pedal and was dragging under the wheelchair at an odd angle as the resident was propelling his/herself towards the dining table. CNA #1 stated she told the nurse about it at the time and the nurse instructed him/her to put the resident's foot back on the foot pedal. CNA #1 stated he/she was not sure if the nurse did anything else when he/she was informed, and that the nurse was a traveling nurse who no longer worked in the facility. CNA #1 stated the following day, when the bruising was noted, she reminded the nurse of the wheelchair pedal incident the day before. CNA #1 stated at that time, the nurse told one of the people down the hill, gesturing towards a nearby building where the nurse managers and other administrative personnel have offices. CNA #6 stated he/she worked with the resident over the next few days, and the resident's foot kept falling off the foot pedal and getting caught either in or under the foot pedals. So finally, the nurse tied a sheet behind the resident's foot pedals to keep his/her feet in place. CNA #6 stated a few days after that, an x-ray was done, we got a padded footrest, and they put a cast on (his/her). The CNAs reported the foot appeared to be causing pain for the resident when it would fall off the foot pedal and drag behind or under the footrests but improved once the padded footrest was in place and the cast was placed. Both CNAs denied that Resident #15 fell at any time, as documented in the physician's progress note. An interview with the DOQ on 3/6/20 at 10:00 am revealed the facility did not have a policy regarding monitoring a change in resident condition, physician notification, or pain management. The DOQ stated, We had a really hard time with our previous medical director, in terms of policies and communication. Our new medical director has not been here long enough to fix anything yet, he is trying to concentrate on assessing each of the residents first. On 3/6/20 at 12:01 PM, an interview with Resident #15's physician, who was also the facility's Medical Director (MD), revealed that the MD had assumed care of Resident #15 in January 2020, and could not speak to the timeframe between Resident #15's injury and [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The MD stated if the resident had bruising and showed signs of pain that is unusual for his/her or unrelieved with current treatments then 14 days was too long to wait to have it addressed. The nurse in charge of Resident #15's care at the time of the incident, and his/her previous physician, were unavailable for interview during the survey and are no longer employed by the facility.

CNA #1 picked up the spoon, left the table, then returned with a new spoon. Resident #15 picked up the spoon but did not attempt to eat. CNA #1 instructed Resident #15 to eat and gestured towards his/her own mouth. Resident #15 laid the spoon on the table next to his/her bowl and mimicked CNA #1's pointing gesture, then dropped his/her chin to his/her chest. At 12:13 pm CNA #1 instructed Resident #15 to eat. Resident #15 picked up the spoon and tapped it on the side of the bowl but did not attempt to feed him/herself. Resident #15 laid the spoon on the table again. At 12:17 pm, Resident #15 picked up the spoon, dipped the back of the spoon into his/her food, then placed the spoon in his/her mouth and licked the food off the back of the spoon. At 12:23 pm, Resident #15 again placed her spoon in the bowl of food, though the spoon was upside down. Resident #15 placed the spoon, still upside down, into her mouth then removed it and dropped it on the floor. At 12:36 pm, CNA #1 removed Resident #15's bowl from the table and told Resident #15 he/she did not have to eat lunch if he/she didn't want to. There was no LN present in the Raven Lodge during this observation. On 9/3/19, the resident weighed 133.2 lbs. On 3/3/20, the resident weighed 113.8 pounds which is a -14.56 % loss. An observation to observe the weighing of this resident was not made available. Observations made of Resident #15 on 3/3/20 revealed the resident was in his/her bed and asleep at 7:30 AM. An interview with CNA #3 at that time revealed Resident #15 had not yet been up that morning and had not had breakfast. CNA #3 reported that Resident #15 would remain in bed until after the wound nurse arrived to change the dressing on (his/her) coccyx wound, then staff would get the resident up for breakfast. No staff were observed to approach Resident #15's room until the wound nurse arrived. At 9:54 am, the wound nurse and CNA #1 were observed to go into Resident #15's room. At 10:11 am, CNA #1 brought Resident #15 to the dining table in a wheelchair and went into the kitchen area of the lodge to prepare Resident #15's breakfast. CNA #1 demonstrated how (he/she) placed a frozen puree regular size portion of French toast into a steamer. At 10:40 am, CNA #1 removed the pureed food from the steamer, placed it into a bowl, brought it to the table, and assisted Resident #15 to eat. Resident #15 was receptive to assistance and consumed the entirety of the meal. Resident #15 made no attempt to feed (himself/herself) during the observation. An interview with Resident #15's physician, who was also the facility's Medical Director (MD) on 3/3/20 at 11:30 am revealed the MD had assumed care for Resident #15 in late January from the previous medical director. The MD stated the facility had apprised him of Resident #15's pressure ulcer, which he had just examined, but had not made him aware the resident was also losing weight. The MD stated that though he had not had a chance to evaluate Resident #15's weight loss, in general he would expect staff to follow physician's orders for diet and supplements, document the amount of supplements consumed to evaluate their effectiveness as an intervention, and offer cues and assistance at meals per the resident's plan of care. The physician stated a resident's nutritional status was very important in promoting wound healing. Resident #15's previous physician was no longer available for interview at the time of survey. An interview with Resident #15's Family Member (FM) on 3/3/20 at 11:27 am revealed the FM had been informed about a week and a half ago that the resident was losing weight for the past 6 months. The FM reported, They told me (he/she) just wasn't interested in food anymore. The FM stated (he/she) did not live nearby and as such was unable to visit the resident regularly. The FM stated they were not sure what interventions the facility had implemented to address Resident #15's weight loss. On 3/3/20 at 4:47 pm, Resident #15 was observed sitting at the dinner table with a bowl of pureed chicken noodle soup in front of him/her. The resident was sitting with his/her head down, chin on her chest, and eyes closed. He/she was not eating. CNA #1 and CNA #3 were sitting at the table, each of them feeding a different resident. Neither CNA had offered cues or assistance to Resident #15 by the end of the observation at 5:02 pm. te resident failed to consume any of the meal. There was no LN in the lodge during this meal observation. An observation of the lunch meal on 3/4/20 at 11:22 am revealed Resident #15 readily accepting assistance from CNA #6 to consume his/her lunch. The resident ate 100% of the meal when provided assistance. There was no LN in the lodge during this meal observation. On 3/4/20 at 4:26 pm, an interview with CNA #1 and CNA #3 revealed they were the primary caregivers for Resident #15. The CNAs reported they both knew Resident #15 required assistance at meals and had informed the MDS nurse of this approximately one month ago so the resident's care plan could be updated. The CNAs reported they had not assisted Resident #15 during the meal observations when a third staff member was not available because there were two other residents who required assistance to eat and they had been told they could only assist one resident at a time due to infection control concerns. The CNAs reported that they were aware Resident #15 had been losing weight, but they had been instructed they only had to inform a nurse if a resident lost more than three pounds in a week. CNA #1 stated, If a resident loses more than three pounds in a week, I have to send an email to the people who work down there (gesturing towards the building where the nurse managers and other administrative personnel have offices), but (Resident #15) was only losing about two and a half pounds a week. CNA #1 stated that since Resident #15's weight loss never met the criteria for email notification, he/she told whoever was the nurse for Resident #15 whenever these losses were noted. CNA #1 stated, The problem is, we don't see the nurse very much down here (Raven Lodge), and it's usually a traveling nurse anyway. We can tell them, but there might be another nurse the next day. The CNAs reported they were responsible to administer Resident #15's supplements but were unable to access the physician's orders. CNA #1 stated he/she knew Resident #15 was to have a Boost supplement with breakfast and dinner but did not know about the Magic Cup. CNA #1 stated he/she was not aware that Resident #15 could have additional Boost or Magic Cups as needed and did not know how he/she would determine when to administer an as needed supplement. CNA #1 stated they did not always chart on the meal or snack logs that they had given Resident #15 a supplement or whether the resident had consumed it. CNA # 1 stated, I didn't know it was important to do that. I thought they just knew if she was getting them or not. On 3/5/20 at 10:35 am, interview with the MDS nurse revealed he/she recalled CNA #1 and CNA #3 telling him/her Resident #15 was no longer feeding himself/herself and the care plan needed to be adjusted, which is when he/she updated the resident's Activities of Daily Living (ADL) care plan to reflect that need. The MDS nurse stated he/she was not sure what approaches were in Resident #15's nutritional care plan, as it was the RD who developed that portion of the resident's care plan. The MDS nurse stated he/she was not sure where the facility documented that supplements were given or how much was consumed. On 3/5/20 at 1:50 pm, an interview with the RD revealed Resident #15 had been declining nutritionally for about a year. The RD stated Resident #15's intake and ability to feed his/herself has really, really dropped off. The RD stated, The problem as I see it is (he/she) does not get the assistance (he/she) needs with eating. (He/She) can refuse assistance vehemently at times, but often I see (him/her) sitting there with food in front of (him/her) and nothing is going on. (He/Her} head is down, eyes are closed, and no one is paying attention to (him/her). The RD described Resident #15's current nutritional status as, Borderline moderate to severe malnutrition. The RD stated he/she was also frustrated with the lack of documentation regarding whether supplements had been provided or were consumed. The RD stated, As far as I can tell, if it's documented, it's documented in with the fluid intakes. But since they don't break out which fluid the resident consumed, I don't know if (he/she) was drinking water or Boost. The RD responded, Absolutely not when asked if the current information he/she received from the facility regarding Resident #15's supplement intake was adequate to accurately assess the effectiveness of those interventions. The RD stated he/she reviewed the weights for all residents in the facility weekly, including Resident #15, and was aware that the resident had experienced significant weight loss. The RD stated he/she had repeatedly emailed the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) about Resident #15's weight loss along with concerns that Resident #15 was not getting assistance consistently and supplements were not being documented but had received no response. On 3/5/20 at 4:46 pm, an interview with the IDON revealed, There was a disconnect in communication between the dietician and the whole team. I was not aware until today that (Resident #15) had been losing weight. The IDON stated he/she had been working in the facility for approximately six months and had been concentrating on other aspects of resident care that were more pressing than weight loss, especially since he/she did not know the facility had a resident with the degree of weight loss Resident #15 had experienced. Regarding the administration of a supplement, the IDON stated it would not necessarily be her expectation that the LNs administer supplements when the physicians order them, but if CNAs are administering those supplements to the residents they should be documented. The IDON stated, I was informed by my team today that the documentation of whether they were given is hard to find. The IDON stated, The CNAs can access physician orders. There's no reason they shouldn't know if the residents should be getting a supplement. They also know they can feed more than one resident at a time, and it's not true that they have to wait for a resident to lose three pounds in a week before they email me. The IDON stated he/she was not sure whether the facility had policies on administration of supplements, weight loss, or assisting residents with eating. The IDON stated it would have been his/her expectation that Resident #15 had received his/her supplements and diet texture as ordered by the physician, assistance at meals per his/her plan of care, and other interventions such as larger portions at breakfast as recommended by the RD. On 3/6/20 at 10:00 am an interview with the Director of Quality (DOQ) revealed the facility did not have policies on ADLs, following physician's orders, or administration of supplements. The DOQ stated it was not always the practice of Resident #15's previous physician to include RD recommendations like supplements as a physician's order, and often that physician did not want things such as consumption documented by an LN. The DOQ stated, That's a bummer, really, given how much weight (heshe) lost. Review of the Facility Nutrition Program policy, dated 3/2019, revealed, . Ensure that the Elders are served the correct prescribed diet & ordered adaptive equipment . Evaluate food and fluid intake for each Elder and document amounts eaten . Assess nutritional needs and risks of all Elders in the facility, help assure appropriate meals & other nutritional interventions are provided . Assist staff in identifying specific factors in individual Elders (medical conditions, medications, etc.) that may be affecting an Elder's appetite, nutritional needs, nutrition utilization, and hydration status .

Based on record review, observation, and interview the facility failed to provide timely intervention for the prevention of pain for 1 resident (#2) of 6 sampled residents. This failed practice caused resident #2 unnecessary pain and placed the resident at risk for further suffering from undertreated pain. Findings: Record review on 5/5-8/14 revealed Resident #2 was admitted with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the most recent pain assessment, dated 5/1/14, revealed Resident #2 responded "Almost constantly" to the question, "How much of the time have you been experiencing pain or hurting over the last 5 days?" This pain assessment also revealed the Resident responded with," 'Oh yeah that helps' when cream applied with back massage." Review of the quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed patient pain assessment coded "almost constantly" when asked "how much of the time have you experienced pain or hurting over the last 5 days?" Further review of the MDS revealed patient rated pain as "severe" and responded "yes" when asked, "has pain made it hard for you to sleep at night?" Review of the MAR indicated [REDACTED]. Review of MD progress notes from 5/6/14 revealed Resident #2 complained of back and shoulder pain and "says cream helps". The MD note also referred to this cream as the "pain relieving rub cream". During an observation on 5/6/14 at 9:50 am, Resident #2 complained of pain in "my legs" and asked for the cream. Shahbaz #2 asked Resident #2 if she wanted her pain cream and stated she would tell the nurse. At 10:00 am RN #2 gave Resident #2 [MEDICATION NAME] sodium (a medication for [MEDICAL CONDITION] function) and the Resident complained to the RN of pain in her legs and back. Resident #2 again asked for the cream for her legs and back. The RN then instructed Shahbaz #2 to use regular lotion for now and stated she would get medicated pain cream later. Resident #2 asked RN #2, "Are you going to give me more pills?" The RN replied, "I'm going to wait 30 minutes after that [MEDICAL CONDITION] medication." A few moments later Resident #2 told Shahbaz #2, when describing pain, "Sometimes when I get to the toilet, I can't get off." Shahbaz #2 responded, "I know that's true", while rubbing Resident #2's back with the non-medicated lotion. RN #2 then stated, "I'm going to find that cream after breakfast." During an interview on 5/6/14 at 10:00 am when questioned about the Resident's pain, Shahbaz #2 responded, "She's in constant pain." Continued observations on 5/6/14 at 10:30 am revealed RN #2 gave the Resident 2 Tylenol at 10:30 am. During the observation, Resident #2 continued to complain of pain.

RN #3 gave Tylenol but did not offer the Menthol-[MEDICATION NAME] Cream. Further MAR indicated [REDACTED]. Record review performed 5/5-8/14 of Resident #2's care plan revealed a problem of "alteration in comfort" with the following goals: "IDT (interdisciplinary department team) has determined that her pain goals are that elder is still able to sleep, participate with cares and engage in activities that she seems to enjoy" and "pain is reduced or relieved within 30-45 minutes after staff intervention." One care planned approach was "encourage elder to report pain at first onset to prevent escalation of pain to promote prompt staff intervention to reduce or relieve pain." Review of pain management policy, dated 6/1/09, stated "In keeping with the philosophy and mission of Providence Health Care System, Providence Seward Mountain Haven, will ensure the highest level of quality care for elders by its commitment to managing pain. It is every elder's right to have his or her pain aggressively managed." After multiple attempts 5/8/14, the surveyor was unable to reach the facility's consultant pharmacist. The State of Alaska HSS Pharmacist, verified 5/12/14 that [MEDICATION NAME] could be given with Tylenol. The online package insert for [MEDICATION NAME] ([MEDICATION NAME] sodium tablet) retrieved 5/12/14 does not show a contraindication for administering [MEDICATION NAME] simultaneously with Tylenol. .

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to assess, and provide timely interventions with monitoring for 1 resident (#1) whose volatile behaviors were negatively affecting the physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of the 7 other residents (#s 1; 5; 13; 14; 15; 16; and 17) in 1 of 4 Lodges (based on a census of 34), and failed to minimize pain and promote comfort for 2 residents (#s 4 and 10) with documented pain, out of 8 sampled residents. Without appropriate assessment, care plan interventions, and monitoring, residents were placed at risk for not receiving the necessary and/or appropriate care and services to ensure optimal outcomes. This failed practice constituted an immediate jeopardy to resident health and safety. This situation was brought to the attention of the facility's administration on 5/24/11 at 6 pm. The immediate jeopardy was abated onsite. Findings: Resident #1 Record review on 5/23-26/11 revealed Resident # 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a primary [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The facility was aware that the Resident had exhibited extremely volatile behaviors prior to being admitted to the facility; behaviors were well documented in pre-screening paperwork. Observations of the Resident's behavior towards staff, from 5/23-25/11 revealed the Resident pinched, hit, and scratched Shahbaz #s 11, 12, and 3; the Dietary Manager; Speech Therapist; and the acting Director of Nursing Services.
