Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure cleanliness of the water system and the use of appropriate backflow prevention on cross connections. This deficient practice increases the likelihood of contamination of the water supply due to uncleanliness and a potential backflow event, potentially affecting all residents, staff, and visitors who consume water at the facility. Findings include:On 08/19/2025 at 1:30PM during the environmental tour with the Director of Operations K, Maintenance Assistant L, and Maintenance Assistant M, observed the water softener brine tank filled with a black foam substance in the main boiler room. Conducted interview with Maintenance Assistant L, he stated that the brine tank is cleaned out every three years and that the cleaning is due. On 08/19/2025 at 1:45 - 2:20PM observed black foam inside the brine tank of the water softener located in the boiler room in the 800 hallway. On 08/19/2025 at 1:45 - 2:20PM observed the drain line to the water softener sitting inside the drain, located in the boiler room in 800 hallway. On 08/19/2025 at 1:45 - 2:20PM observed chemical dispenser connected to a utility sink by a hose downstream of an atmospheric vacuum breaker (AVB) without an attached wasting tee, located in the custodial closet in 600 hallway. On 08/19/2025 at 1:45 - 2:20PM observed spray nozzle attached to a hose connected to a utility sink downstream of an atmospheric vacuum breaker (AVB), located in the 700 hallway custodial closet. According to the 2008 Cross Connection Manual on water softeners, Typical water softener installations may pose a public health threat mainly due to the waste discharge piping being terminated in a floor drain or sewage piping system thereby creating a submerged inlet cross connection. According to the 2008 Cross Connection Manual on chemical feeder backflow prevention, Another concern with a hose being run from a faucet to the dispenser is that many times a valve is installed on the hose downstream of an AVB, which is not allowed since AVBs cannot be subject to continuous pressure.According to the 2008 Cross Connection Manual on atmospheric vacuum breakers, AVBs shall not be installed where they will be under continuous pressure for more than 12 hours (i.e. no downstream shutoff valve).

Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to accommodate resident choice in Guardianship for 1 resident (#16) of 27 residents reviewed for resident choice, resulting in Resident #16 becoming upset and worried that she would not have someone to look out for her when her wishes were not considered. Findings Include, Resident #16 Choices On [DATE] at 9:30 AM, during a tour of the facility, Resident #16 was observed getting ready for the day. She was sitting in her wheelchair, dressed and preparing to attend an activity in the dining room. She said she spent most of her day in the facilities activities and that is what she enjoyed doing. She said she had some issues to discuss. Resident #16 said she was upset because the facility was suing her to remove her Guardian, who is her sister and replace her with a public guardian. The resident said they had to go to court twice and there is another hearing with an attorney over the resident losing her Medicaid eligibility and not having her bill paid. She said her bills had been paid by Medicaid until a waiver for Medicaid eligibility, that was enacted during the Covid-19 Pandemic in 2020, expired in September of last year/2023. She said it was confusing and her sister had not had to apply for Medicaid re-eligibility before and then her Medicaid lapsed. She said her Medicaid was reinstated in [DATE], but she said she was so upset about this, that it was all she could think about. Resident #16 said she tried to talk to the billing department about the situation and court hearings and was told, That's just the way it is. A record review of the Face sheet and Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment indicated Resident #16 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses: quadriplegia at vertebra C5-C7, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, fibromyalgia, hypertension, anxiety, depression, atrophy left eye, cataract right eye, chronic pain, weakness.

She said there had never been any issues with the resident's guardian, until she lost her Medicaid eligibility in [DATE]. She said the resident's Guardian I did a lot for the resident, visiting her often and bringing her what she needed. She said the guardian tried to reapply for Medicaid, but there was too much money in the resident's account. She said the guardian and resident were trying to find a handicap accessible van, to accommodate the resident on outings with her family, but they were having trouble finding a van. She said months went on, the money wasn't spent, and the bill was not paid to the facility. The Social Services H said she was asked by the Interim Administrator T to file a petition with the court to remove the resident's Guardian H as Conservator (overseer of the resident's finances) and appoint a predetermined conservator chosen by the facility. On [DATE] at 3:48 PM, [NAME] Staff U was interviewed about Resident #16. She said in [DATE] the facility received a Medicaid billing denial. Resident #16's Medicaid eligibility was checked in [DATE], and she no longer qualified for Medicaid. She said the amount the Resident received from Medicaid was $10,050/month. She said she called the sister/Guardian about it. Biller U said MDHHS (Michigan Department of Health and Human Services) had halted redeterminations for Medicaid eligibility during Covid. She said last fall that stopped and each person or their representative had to check on their own. She said she believed a notice went out to residents/representatives, but she wasn't sure. She said the resident and Guardian had cashed out a retirement policy and the guardian was trying to buy a van-handicap accessible. She said it would cost about $20,000 to find a van, but they could not find one. The biller said in December there was a conversation with the resident or representative about the Medicaid ineligibility because of too much money in the resident's account. She said the Guardian made payments towards the bill beginning in [DATE]. Another payment was received in [DATE] and [DATE] and the resident's Medicaid eligibility was restored in [DATE]. The Biller U said there had been no prior issues with the resident's payment prior to the discontinuance of the Covid-19 eligibility waiver. She said Resident #16 had had the same Guardian since [DATE], since the resident came to the facility. Biller U said there was still an outstanding balance for the resident's bill. During the interview with Biller U on [DATE] at 3:48 PM, she said both herself and Biller V went to court twice about the matter. She said it was very difficult. She said a local attorney was now hired to attend the next hearing over the resident's Conservatorship in court on [DATE]. A review of the court documents identified the following: [DATE]: A Petition to Modify Conservatorship/Adult was filed in court by Social Services H in the matter of removing Resident #16's Guardian related to the unpaid expenses at the facility. The document requested a specific named facility nominated person to be the Conservator. [DATE]: A court document titled, Order Appointing Person To Review/Investigate Guardianship, for Resident #16. The court order was for review of the resident's Guardianship. On [DATE] at 11:45 AM, the Interim Administrator T and Administrator in training were interviewed about Resident #16's court hearings related to past due Medicaid payments. The Interim Administrator T said he had requested a court order to remove Resident #16's Guardian/Conservator because of the past due bills. The Administrator T was asked if he attended the court hearings and he said he had not, that the 2 billers had went to court. Reviewed with the Administrators that Resident #16 was very upset about this situation, as she did not want to lose her sister as her Guardian for Healthcare. They both said the billers and Social Services had talked to the resident. The Administrators were asked if they had met with the resident and her representative to discuss the court hearings with the resident, as the resident thought her Guardian for Healthcare was being changed. The Administrators said they had not spoken with the resident or her Guardian. The Administrators were asked if there had been any issues with Resident #16's Guardian in the past and they both said there had been no issues. The Administrator in Training said the resident's Guardian was also the facilities Nurse Practitioner/NP. She said they had no issues with the NP's care of Resident #16 or other residents. The Interim Administrator T said a new Conservator for finances was requested at the court hearings, not a Guardian for Healthcare. During the interview with The Interim Administrator T, he said the billing department said they were not comfortable discussing the matter in court after the first 2 hearings and the facility obtained an attorney in [DATE] for the next hearing in July. At the time of the interview the Administrators were asked for copies of any documentation of conversations between the facility, resident and Guardian related to the resident's bill, guardianship and court hearings. A review of the documents received from the facility provided the following: The billing department Collection notes created by Billers U and V indicated there was no documentation of billing issues for Resident #16 until [DATE]: 3 months after Medicaid eligibility was denied. A note dated [DATE] said the Guardian I spoke with the billing office and said she was attempting to find a van for the resident for $20,000. Beginning in [DATE], the billing department documented conversations with the resident or her Guardian. On [DATE] Biller V documented that she had went to court to represent the facility related to Resident #16's bill and Biller V stated, I requested that (the county public Guardian) be put in place due to resident's overdue balance . Per the Interim Administrator, during the interview on [DATE] at 11:45 AM, the facility had not requested to change the Resident's guardian. They only wanted a Conservator for finances. On [DATE] 12:52 PM, Resident #16's Guardian/conservator I was interviewed about the resident's bill and court hearings. She said she was court appointed as the resident's Guardian and had been her Guardian since 2019. She said the facility did not tell her for a few months that there was too much money in Resident #16's account and it affected her Medicaid eligibility. She stated, They tried to catch me in the hall when I was seeing patients. They never sat down with me. Then I asked for a payment plan. She had never had a patient pay until now. There were no bills. They said the I was neglecting my sister. I went to the court hearings. They did not come to me. They are trying to remove me from caring for her. My sister is devastated by this. We were blindsided. We thought 'Work with us, explain it.' They were getting the bills and never said anything about it. I had no idea. She said the facility was attempting to remove her as healthcare Guardian also. She said the court documents said they were trying to remove her from conservator and guardian both. A review of the document titled, CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services), Nursing Home Toolkit: Nursing Homes-A Guide for Medicaid Beneficiaries', Families and Helpers, dated [DATE] provided, .People living in a Nursing home have the right to be treated with dignity and respect .

The [MEDICATION NAME] was increased back up to 30 mg (milligrams). When queried about past behaviors, the SS Nurse H stated, There was an issue last night in the CNA charting. He was leaning over a female Resident with his hand on her upper thigh. He was put on one on one supervision. When queried how long the one on one continues, the Nurse stated, The one on one is done until he is deemed safe. When queried who makes the decision he is safe to be off the one on one staffing, Nurse H stated, The nurse should specify and be the one who makes that determination. When queried about documentation of the determinations to be taken off the one on one, when behaviors occur, the DON reviewed Resident #2's medical record and stated, There is none. It should be a specific policy of who determines and we should have documentation of the assessment to determine the one on one is completed. When queried about the length of time Resident #2 had remained on the one on one staffing, the DON stated, I didn't see any documentation of that. The SS Nurse H stated, It is care planned to do one on one until redirected. When queried regarding documentation that Resident #2 is put on one on one, the SS Nurse H stated, There is no specific form for one on one. The next morning (4/24/18 AM) I heard at stand up (meeting to discuss issues with residents) of the incident. No staff were doing one on one with him. I didn't see any documentation that he was placed on one on one . After the incident, some (staff) were aware there was a plan in place and some were not aware. Mostly the CNA staff that were not aware of the care plan. When queried about a documented assessment of a determination to take the Resident off one on one, the SS Nurse H stated, There is none. When queried about changes in interventions made in Resident #2's care plan, the SS Nurse H indicated there had been no changes that had been made. The SS Nurse H stated, But the staff was educated on the care plan. Documentation of when, how often and for how long Resident #2 had been placed on the one on one staffing was requested. No documentation was provided prior to the exit of the survey. Review of Resident #2's care plan, that SS Nurse H had staff review, revealed the following: Dated 2/13/18, Potential for inappropriate sexual/social interaction: Problem: (Resident #2) has displayed inappropriate sexual advances to a female resident. (Resident) has had inappropriate interactions with male residents (messaging shoulders, kissing top of head/shoulders). Potential for continued behavior Related To: Cognitive impairment, Manifested by: Wandering into other residents rooms, inappropriate touching. Goal: (Resident) will display no continued signs of inappropriate sexual/social interactions with those around him. Interventions include: (Resident #2) is to be on 15 minute checks for safety until determined he is no longer a threat. (Resident) is not to be in close proximity of any female resident at any time. Redirect him away from the female residents if needed. If at any time it is felt that his behavior cannot be redirected and he is displaying behavior that is inappropriate, harmful or sexual, (Resident) should be placed on 1:1 supervision with staff until his behavior can be deterred. Once decided that 1:1 supervision is no longer appropriate, then 15 minute checks should be re-implemented. On 5/8/18 at 4:58 PM, an interview was conducted, with CNA D, regarding the incident on 4/23/18. CNA D stated, (CNA G) said she came out and (Resident #2) was standing with pants down and he was holding (Resident #1's) hand on his penis. I took (Resident #1) and moved her away. We stayed for one on one with (Resident #2). When queried about the length of time Resident #2 was on the one on one staffing, CNA D stated, I can't tell you what length of time. Until we felt things were safe. I don't know the length of time, I am going to say about 45 minutes. It just occurred when I was coming back (from break). It just seemed he was aware and that minute he was alone on the floor. When queried regarding who makes the decision that one on one is not needed, CNA D stated, Collectively as a group. We run things through the Nurse. When queried about documentation, the CNA stated, We don't chart it, we just do it. We just communicate so that someone is watching him. On 5/8/18 at 5:15 PM, an interview with CNA E was conducted. CNA E indicated that she was assigned Resident #2 that night (4/23/18) as her Resident and stated, I was taking care of another Resident and the nurse was assisting me. He had shown his penis to another Resident (#1). We watched him close so it doesn't happen again. When queried about the one on one staffing, the CNA stated, Everyone stays in the living area and he was in the living area. When queried if Resident #2 was on one on one, the CNA stated, Yes, but you're also kinda watching the other Residents at the same time. We would have another CNA back there if another Resident needed help. When queried about past behaviors with Resident #2, CNA E stated, There was a time before that he was focused on (Resident #1) and he became 15 minute checks and one on one for being sexual towards the female Residents. When queried regarding other issues with sexual behaviors, the CNA stated, Yes, lately it's been increasing. It's not just her anymore. He will rub females legs, try to kiss (Resident #1) on the top of her head, sneaking into (Resident #1's) room on nights. When queried about the length of time the one on one took place after the incident on 4/23/18, the CNA stated, One on one was close to an hour and we still watched him to make sure. He was up for a while after that. When we see him focusing on (Resident #1), we redirect. When queried if the interventions are adequate to prevent sexual contact from reoccurring, the CNA stated, I don't know.

F600J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

This citation pertains to Intake #MI 077. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to prevent sexual abuse from occurring and re-occurring to one Resident (#1) of six reviewed for abuse from a total sample of six, resulting in an immediate jeopardy when on 2/5/18, Resident #2 was observed, by CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) M, making nonconsensual sexual contact with Resident #1 and on 4/23/18, Resident #2 was observed by CNA G, making nonconsensual sexual contact with Resident #1. The Immediate Jeopardy is due to the facility's failure to prevent sexual abuse from occurring and reoccurring. This deficient practice places Residents residing in the Dementia Unit at risk for further sexual abuse. The Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 5/8/18 at 5:45 PM. The Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 5/9/18 at 2:00 PM and a plan to remove the immediacy was requested. Findings include: A review of the facility's policy entitled Abuse Prevention Policy and Procedure, with a date on 3/2/18, revealed, It is the policy of (the Facility) to maintain an environment free of abuse and neglect. The resident has the right to be free from verbal, sexual, physical and mental abuse, corporal punishment, and involuntary seclusion . The facility will identify and investigate all suspicions or allegations of abuse such as suspicious bruising or (on) residents, unusual occurrences, patterns and trends that may constitute abuse and will determine the direction of the investigation . During and after the investigation, the residents will be protected from harm through frequent supervision by staff. The first action taken when abuse is alleged or suspected is to protect the residents. If the alleged perpetrator of the suspected abuse is a resident, the charge nurse will separate the parties and parties will remain separated from one another until the investigation has been completed.

The next morning (4/24/18 AM) I heard at stand up (meeting to discuss issues with residents) of the incident. No staff were doing one on one with him. I didn't see any documentation that he was placed on one on one . After the incident, some (staff) were aware there was a plan in place and some were not aware. Mostly the CNA staff that were not aware of the care plan. When queried about a documented assessment of a determination to take the Resident off one on one, the SS Nurse H stated, There is none. When queried about changes in interventions made in Resident #2's care plan, the SS Nurse H indicated there had been no changes that had been made.

(Resident) has had inappropriate interactions with male residents (messaging shoulders, kissing top of head/shoulders). Potential for continued behavior Related To: Cognitive impairment, Manifested by: Wandering into other residents rooms, inappropriate touching. Goal: (Resident) will display no continued signs of inappropriate sexual/social interactions with those around him. Interventions include: (Resident #2) is to be on 15 minute checks for safety until determined he is no longer a threat. (Resident) is not to be in close proximity of any female resident at any time. Redirect him away from the female residents if needed. If at any time it is felt that his behavior cannot be redirected and he is displaying behavior that is inappropriate, harmful or sexual, (Resident) should be placed on 1:1 supervision with staff until his behavior can be deterred. Once decided that 1:1 supervision is no longer appropriate, then 15 minute checks should be re-implemented. On 5/8/18 at 4:58 PM, an interview was conducted, with CNA D, regarding the incident on 4/23/18.

We stayed for one on one with (Resident #2). When queried about the length of time Resident #2 was on the one on one staffing, CNA D stated, I can't tell you what length of time. Until we felt things were safe. I don't know the length of time, I am going to say about 45 minutes. It just occurred when I was coming back (from break). It just seemed he was aware and that minute he was alone on the floor. When queried regarding who makes the decision that one on one is not needed, CNA D stated, Collectively as a group. We run things through the Nurse. When queried about documentation, the CNA stated, We don't chart it, we just do it. We just communicate so that someone is watching him.

He had shown his penis to another Resident (#1). We watched him close so it doesn't happen again. When queried about the one on one staffing, the CNA stated, Everyone stays in the living area and he was in the living area. When queried if Resident #2 was on one on one after the incident occurred, the CNA stated, Yes, but you're also kinda watching the other Residents at the same time. We would have another CNA back there if another Resident needed help. When queried about past behaviors with Resident #2, CNA E stated, There was a time before that he was focused on (Resident #1) and he became 15 minute checks and one on one for being sexual towards the female Residents. When queried regarding other issues with sexual behaviors, the CNA stated, Yes, lately it's been increasing. It's not just her anymore. He will rub female's legs, try to kiss (Resident #1) on the top of her head, sneaking into (Resident #1's) room on nights. When queried about the length of time the one on one took place after the incident on 4/23/18 occurred, the CNA stated, One on one was close to an hour and we still watched him to make sure.

These two staff members had reported they were providing care to another resident and were unable to respond to the pager alert at that time. The rest of the staff either denied getting a pager alert, or told LPN Staff A that they could not remember, with one of the LPNs on duty that night telling LPN Staff A that she did not have the pager on her person at the time. During the interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on 6/29/2015 at 10:45 am, she stated that during the course of the investigation one of the CNAs had come forward and admitted that she had disarmed and reset the wander guard alarm on the front door on the evening of 6/16/2015 with no investigation as to why the alarm was sounding or how it had been set off. The CNA had told the NHA that she had looked through the window and didn't see anything so she had asked a nurse for the code to reset the alarm. The CNA had further stated that no Code 10 (the facility code to search for a missing resident) had been conducted that evening. The facility policy and procedure for the Wanderguard Alarm System, dated 3/15/2012, stated that There will be a staff Alert Panel alarm at the point of activation and a signal will be sent through the nurse call system to alarm all employees having a nurse call pager. Any/all staff members are to respond instantly to the point of alarm activation. The instructions for Responding to an alarm included Locate the resident that activated the alarm. According to the investigation notes of LPN Staff A, dated 6/17/2015, the LPN and the CNA who were caring for Resident #201 on the evening of 6/16/2015, had gone to check on him at about 6:45 pm in the dining room where he had been since his argument with his spouse and he was not there. The investigation notes revealed the LPN went to another nursing unit in the building to look for Resident #201, and upon her return from that unit she looked out a window and saw Resident #201 standing by the van with two men putting a wheel chair into the van. The investigation notes reported that the LPN had not heard the wander guard audible alarm and that she did not have her pager on her person at that time. There was no documentation that a Code 10 had been initiated when the LPN and CNA were unable to locate Resident #201 at about 6:45 pm. The facility policy Code 10 - Missing Resident, dated 8/19/2014, stated A systematic approach of all staff members will be instituted in the event a resident is questioned or determined to be missing. The procedure included: 1. When it is suspected a resident may be missing, a staff member will inform the charge nurse who will alert the staff using the phone and overhead paging system. 2. In the event a door alarm is activated and the causative factor is unknown, a CODE 10 shall be initiated, indicating which door alarmed. 4. A thorough search will be done by all departments available. The search will include all resident rooms, ancillary rooms and the outside perimeter of the facility, including the parking lot and vehicles in said parking lots. During an interview with LPN Staff A on 6/29/2015 at 2:30 pm, she agreed that the facility policies had not been followed on 6/16/2015, the evening of Resident #201's elopement. LPN Staff A agreed that there were two instances when the Code 10 procedure should have been initiated; the first time was when Resident #201 was not located and being searched for by the floor LPN and CNA, and the second time was when the front door wander guard alarm sounded and the staff did not know the reason the alarm had been triggered. During observation on 6/30/2015 at 1:20 pm, LPN Staff A located the wanderguard alarm on a spoke of Resident #204's wheel chair. Staff A was observed to take Resident #204's wheel chair to the wander guard alarmed door on the 800 hall. LPN Staff A wheeled the chair through the door, turned it around and wheeled it back through the door without setting off the alarm. LPN Staff A also held a wanderguard alarm in her hand and was able to walk through the door and turn around and come back through the door without the alarm sounding. In the presence of this surveyor, LPN Staff A then took Resident #204's wheel chair, with the alarm on the spoke of the wheel, to and through the 400 hall door with a wander guard alarm, where again the door failed to alarm. According to LPN Staff A, the door should have alarmed when the wander guard device on the wheel chair came within three feet of the doors. LPN A was only able to set off the alarms on the doors of the 400 and 800 halls when she held the devices next to the alarm sensors. LPN A agreed, that would not be sufficient to prevent a resident from eloping since the devices were normally on a resident's ankle or a plastic part of the wheel chair, usually the spoke, and that would be lower and farther away than where she had held the device next to the sensor units to cause the alarms. On 6/30/2015 at 2:20 pm, Maintenance director staff B stated he had contacted the company for the wander guard alarms and had been told that the frequency on the alarms needed to be re-set for them to work properly. The immediate jeopardy was removed on 6/18/15. On 7/1/2015 at 1200 pm, the surveyor verified the following: 1. All staff completed education on elopement policies, Code 10/missing residents, the wander guard policy, the elopement risk assessment policy and pager use by 7/1/2015. 2. Code 10 drills had been conducted on every shift and on a weekend between 6/17/2015 and 6/24/2015. 3. The front door was locked from the inside and the outside on 6/22/2015. 4. Pagers were reprogrammed on 6/17/2015 to alert all carriers of an open alarmed door immediately and the wording was changed to include the word door with the word egress. 5. Functioning of the pagers began being routinely checked at the change of every shift. 6. Monitoring of the staff use of pagers and availability of pagers began being routinely checked at the change of every shift with quarterly monitoring by management. 7. Maintenance developed a log to document weekly checks of the pager system. 8. The double doors to the lobby are now kept open so the alert system alarms can be better heard (done on 6/17/2015). Although the immediate jeopardy was removed on 6/18/15, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern, and a severity of no actual harm with the potential for more than minimal harm, that is not immediate jeopardy, for 17 residents assessed by the facility as being at risk for elopement, pending the facility's ability to demonstrate sustained compliance as verified by the state agency.

DURING A PHONE INTERVIEW ON 12/8/2011 AT 2:15 P.M., CNA #6 SAID, "I'D CARED FOR HER (RESIDENT #101) TONS OF TIMES. I MADE A MISTAKE. SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A 2 PERSON ASSIST WITH AMBULATION; I DIDN'T ASK FOR ANY HELP. I WAS SUPPOSED TO USE A GAIT BELT. I DIDN'T USE A GAIT BELT. SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO USE A ROLLER WALKER. I KNEW SHE USED A ROLLER WALKER, BUT IT WASN'T USED. IT'S EXPECTED THAT AIDES READ THE RESIDENTS' CARE GUIDES; I DIDN'T." DURING A PHONE INTERVIEW ON 12/12/2011 AT 12:10 P.M., RESIDENT #101'S ATTENDING PHYSICIAN #14 SAID, "SHE (RESIDENT #101) WAS SO WEAK. TO BE MOVED FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER, SHE NEEDED 2 PERSON ASSISTANCE. IT WOULD'VE BEEN SAFER FOR THIS RESIDENT TO USE THE GAIT BELT, A ROLLER WALKER, AND TWO PERSON ASSISTANCE, AS I'D ORDERED." RESIDENT #102: THE FACE SHEET REVEALED RESIDENT #102 WAS A [AGE] year OLD WOMAN WHO WAS admitted to the facility on [DATE] WITH [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].

THE CARE GUIDELINE SAID SHE NEEDED TO USE A RECLINING SHOWER CHAIR. I KNEW THIS 'CAUSE I WAS A PERMANENTLY ASSIGNED AIDE TO HER HALLWAY. I'D WORKED WITH HER MANY TIMES BEFORE. I KNEW SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO USE A RECLINER SHOWER CHAIR. WE WERE IN A HURRY TO SHOWER HER. I KNEW IT WOULD BE UNSAFE TO USE A SHOWER CHAIR THAT WASN'T A RECLINER. I DON'T HAVE AN EXCUSE FOR NOT FOLLOWING AN ORDER. IT WAS A LAPSE OF JUDGEMENT." DURING AN INTERVIEW ON 12/8/2011 AT 1:20 P.M., CNA #4 SAID, "I WAS HELPING ANOTHER AIDE WITH HER (RESIDENT #102) SHOWER. WE WERE HOYER LIFTING THE RESIDENT FROM A GERI CHAIR TO A SHOWER CHAIR. WE LOWERED HER ONTO A STANDARD SHOWER CHAIR; SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A RECLINER SHOWER CHAIR. I'D CARED FOR HER A LOT BEFORE AND KNOW SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO USE THE RECLINER SHOWER CHAIR. I HAD A LAPSE IN JUDGEMENT. WE USED A STANDARD SHOWER CHAIR, NOT THE RECLINER SHOWER CHAIR THAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED. IT WAS UNSAFE TO USE THE STANDARD SHOWER CHAIR." DURING AN INTERVIEW ON 12/9/2011 AT 3:00 P.M., AN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST #10 SAID, "IT WASN'T SAFE FOR THIS RESIDENT (#102) TO USE A STANDARD SHOWER CHAIR; SHE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH TRUNK SUPPORT AND WOULD REQUIRE CLOSE SUPERVISION WHILE SHE WAS IN ONE. A RECLINER SHOWER CHAIR WAS APPROPRIATE FOR HER; IT OFFERS TRUNK SUPPORT." DURING A PHONE INTERVIEW ON 12/12/2011 AT 12:55 P.M., RESIDENT #102'S ATTENDING PHYSICIAN #15 SAID, "SHE (RESIDENT #102) HAS TRUNK INSTABILITY.
