If the temperature is above 41, I don't chart it. I call and notify V5 or maintenance. The cooler is controlled by a compressor located in the basement. Sometimes it malfunctions. Sometimes when cooler temperatures are high above 41 degrees F, I go down to the basement and listen to the compressor to see if it is working. When it is working it makes loud noise. I have told staff in the kitchen on multiple occasions not to leave the cooler door open. V9 demonstrated how kitchen staff prop the cooler door open to get cool air in kitchen.

On 2/1/25, at 1:30 PM, V7 [Registered Nurse] stated, On 11/15/24, Certified Nurse Assistant [V8] asked me to speak to R1 because she was being verbally abusive to her [V8]. I asked R1 did she want V8 to continue given her [R1] ADL care and to get her dressed. R1 told me it was okay because it was V8's job to provide care. R1 also said, once I get dressed and, in my wheelchair, I'm going to call the police and tell them that V8 hit me. I told her that was fine and V8 continued to get R1 cleaned, dressed and I assisted V8 placing R1 into her wheelchair. R1 did in fact call the police. I did not report the allegation of abuse to the administrator, because R1 makes false allegations often. I documented the incident as a behavior note. I did not notify the administrator, director of nursing nor nursing supervisor, because I felt it was a behavior. On 11/19/24, R1 said the male certified nurse assistant put his hands inside of his pants at the nursing station facing her [R1]. I was at the nursing station typing. I could not see everything and everyone was moving around the nursing station. I did not report the allegation to the administrator or director of nursing because I felt the allegation was not true. I completed abuse training a few months ago. The abuse coordinator is the administrator. I know when to report abuse. For R1, her allegations are behavioral and delusional. On 2/1/25, at 2:15 PM, V8 [Certified Nurse Assistant] stated, On 11/15/24, R1 started to yell and swear at me during the ADL care process. R1 sometimes would be in a different mood and start yelling for no apparent reason. R1 was easily agitated, and tried to hit me, but a moved out the way. I left the room and got the nurse [V7] to assist me. I told V7 that R1 tried to hit me while I was providing care. V7 came into the room and spoke with her and calmed R1 down and asked was it alright if I proceeded to get her [R1] dressed and washed up. R1 said it was okay and that it was my job to do so anyway. R1 also reported to the nurse [V7] that I hit her after she knew that she tried to hit me. Also, R1 told me and V7 that once she gets up, she was going to report me to the police. V7 and I got her up in the wheelchair and R1 called and reported me to the police. I did not report the incident to the administrator nor director of nursing because I thought V7 was going to report the incident. On 11/19/24, I was not present at the nursing station to witness any male staff placing their hands in their pants. I received abuse training around December. The abuse coordinator is the administrator. On 2/2/25, at 8:52 AM, V16 [Licensed Practical Nurse] stated, R1 is smart, manipulative, and likes attention. R1 also has a lot of delusions with everyone. I hear her on her cell phone all the time having delusional conversations with the president of the United States and other people, but no one is on the other end of the phone. R1 likes to control everything, refuses care all the time. On all three shifts from time to time I work all three shifts and I'm very familiar with R1. There is a two person assist at all times with R1, due to so many accusations of abuse and delusions. However, if R1 tells me of any allegations I will report the allegation to the abuse coordinator. It is not up to me if the allegation is false or not. R1 has not reported staff calling her names. R1 receives care and supervision appropriately, from two person assist. On 2/2/25, at 9:30 AM, V17 [Licensed Practical Nurse] stated, R1 makes frequent allegations in the past, but R1 has two person assist at all times, which has slowed down the allegations. One day R1 told me that my hair was ugly and rough, that I need to be deported back to [NAME] and R1 called the police to come pick me up and deport me back to [NAME]. Even if I am having a conversation with another staff or resident R1 would join the conversation and think we were talking about her [R1]. Often R1 refuses ADL care, even if she is wet. Until she feels like being changed. R1 has not reported to me that staff or other residents has called her names. If R1 reported an allegation of abuse to me, I would immediately report it to the administration. If it involved a staff member, I would separate the two. The administrator is the abuse coordinator, I received abuse training about four months ago. On 2/1/25, at 3:15 PM, V1 [Administrator] stated, I was the assistant administrator here for five years, and the administrator for two weeks. If there were any abuse allegations while I was the assistant administrator, I would have been involved and made aware. I was not made aware of the reported allegations to V7 on 11/15/24, and 11/19/24 involving R1. I was not made aware on any recent allegation from R1 alleging staff members had fondled her [R1] breast, until today. I will submit the initial report to IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) today and start an investigation. All new hires receive abuse training and a test during orientation. All staff receives abuse training annually and as needed. I make rounds and talk with R1 often at least a few times per week. R1 has not reported any allegations of abuse. R1 does have delusions, psychosis, and bipolar disorder. Due to R1's delusions, R1 requires at all times two person assist. All staff received abuse training and know to notify the administrator of all alleged abuse allegations for proper investigations. V7 should have reported all allegations from R1 to me, immediately. It is not his responsible to determine if the allegations were true or not. V7 will be educated today. On 2/1/25, at 3:35 PM, V15 [Nurse Consultant] stated, I been working with this facility for three years. I am familiar with R1. All staff knows to report all allegations to administrator. If is not up for staff to determine if the allegation was substantiated or not. Licensed Practical Nurses [V10, V11, V14] and Certified Nurse Assistants [V8, V12, V13] all said they received abuse training, and the abuse coordinator is the administrator. They all said they report any allegations of abuse immediately to the administrator. Policy documents in part: Facility affirms the right of our residents to be free from abuse. Employees are required to report any incident, allegation or suspicion of potential abuse. Staff to observe, hear about, or suspect to the administrator. When an allegation of abuse has been made, the administrator shall notify IDPH, local law enforcement within two hours.

Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to follow their wound prevention policy to ensure 2 [R7, R10] residents did not develop pressure wounds and the facility failed to prevent pressure wounds from worsening for 1 [R7] resident. These failures resulted in R7 and R10 developing facility acquired pressure wounds; [R7] stage-4 (sacrum), stage-3 (left lateral heel), stage-2 (left fifth toe), and [R10] stage-3 (right ankle). Findings include, R7's clinical record documents in part; medical diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease without heart failure, weakness, need for assistance with personal care, dementia, unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. R7's physician orders and care plan does not document heal protectors as an intervention. R7's physician orders in part: - [5/5/23] Alginate calcium/Santyl Special Instructions: Cleanse sacrum area with normal saline, apply Alginate with silver/Santyl silver cover with gauze island with border. Once A Day. - [5/5/23] Cleanse wound of Left medial foot/Right medial heel with normal: Apply calcium alginate with silver/povidone gel, cover with gauze island with border. Once A Day. - [4/30/23] Leptospermum Honey/iodoform, Special Instructions: Cleanse Right Hip with normal saline, pack iodoform gauze packing strips, apply gauze island with border. On 6/21/23, at 8:03 AM, surveyor observed R7 resting in bed laying on his left side, clean and dry. No heel protector boots in place. On 6/21/23 at 8:04 AM, V6 [Certified Nurse Assistant] stated, I been working here for seven years. I am very familiar with the resident. R7 used to have heel protector boots, but I am not sure what happened to them. On 6/21/23 at 1:04 PM, surveyor observed V23 [Wound Care Physician] and V13 [Wound Care Nurse-Licensed Practical Nurse] assess R7's wounds. V23 stated, R7's sacrum was initially noted moisture associated skin damage on 3/8/23, measured 3.1x 2.9 x0.4cm, today the sacrum area measures 6.2x 5.8x 0.2cm with 2.0cm undermining, and there is muscle tissue exposed, the moisture associated sacrum area is now a stage 4 pressure wound. In the system I am not able to change the site etiology from moisture associated to stage 4 pressure ulcer. Last week (6/14/23), I noticed the muscle exposed, I should have classified the wound a stage 4 at that time, but the computer charting that I use, would not allow me to. Stage-3 left lateral heel facility acquired pressure wound noted on 3/15/23 measured 1.1x 1.3x 0.2cm, the area today measures 1.2x 1.5x 0.2cm. Today a new facility acquired pressure wound stage 2 on R7's left fifth toe with partial thickness, measuring 2.5x 3.6x not measurable. R7 was admitted (12/14/22) with right hip unstageable pressure wound measured 3.8 x 3.9 x 0.2cm, today the is stage-3 pressure right hip wound measures 7.2 x 6.0 x 1.9cm. R7 developed pressure wounds and the right hip worsening due to him being bed bound, moisture, and pressure. I did recommend R7 to keep the heel protector boots on at all times, while in bed. I do not know why R7 does not have them on his feet, now R7 has a new pressure wound on his toe. V18 stated, I do not see the protective heel boots in the room, maybe the boots are in laundry, I am not sure. R10's clinical record document in part: medical diagnosis of: Paraplegia, Essential (primary) hypertension, and asthma. Physician order dated 5/26/23- Apply Calcium Alginate/Leptospermum honey, special instructions: cleanse right lateral ankle with normal saline; cover gauze island with border, once a day. R10's physician orders and care plan does not document heal protectors as an intervention. R10's minimum data set [MDS] Brief Interview Mental Status score= 15. Indicates R10 is cognitively intact On 6/21/23 at 8:38 AM, surveyor observed R10 resting in bed lying on his right side. Right foot was resting on the bed. R10 stated, I was admitted here on 2/10/23, I did not have any wounds. I cannot move myself because I am paralyzed. The staff do not reposition me often. Staff assist me with repositioning maybe once to twice a shift. Laying on my side, for a long time caused me to develop a pressure wound. The nurses clean and dressed my wound maybe three times per week, only because I keep asking them. Most of the nurses tell me no, it is not their job to complete wound care, it is the wound nurse responsibility. I have not had any heel protector boots since I have been here at this facility. Also, when I get dressed and, in my wheelchair, the nurses do not put anything on my feet to protect them from pressure. On 6/21/23 at 11:42 AM, V18 [Wound Care Nurse-Licensed Practical Nurse] stated, I been working here almost a year as the treatment nurse. I been a Licensed Practical Nurse for ten years. I only work on Wednesdays and Thursdays. On Wednesdays I make wound rounds with V23 [Wound Care Physician]. Thursdays I completed my documentation from wound rounds. The staff nurses complete the daily wound care. New admission and re-admissions are assessed, however there were no measurements taken. After I see the resident have a pressure ulcer, I'll fax their face sheet over to V23. The resident is seen on the upcoming Wednesday. At that time V23 will assess the wound and complete measurements. There are times resident's weekly measurements were missed due to V23 being out of town. The wound care treatments continue to be completed. On 6/21/23 at 12:52 PM, V7 [Licensed Practical Nurse] stated, R10 is left out the facility on pass with a family member. On 6/21/23 at 1:15 PM, V23 [Wound Care Physician] stated, On 5/31/23, R10 was noted with a facility acquired pressure ulcer to the right ankle, stage 3 measured 1.6 x 1.9x 0.3cm. On 6/14/23, R10's right ankle measured 1.8 x 2.1x 0.3 cm. R10's right ankle wound got larger due to R10 laying on his side, paralysis, and pressure. I recommended for R10 to have heel protector boots. I do not know why he did not have them on. R10 needs to have them on at all times especially while in bed. That can potentially make his [R10] wound worse due to pressure. R10 left out on pass with family. I will assess and measure his [R10] wound next Wednesday (6/28/23), R10 knew I was going to be here today for wound care, but he left the building anyways. V18 stated, I will let the nurse know that R7 and R10 need their heel protector boots on. Policy Documents in part: Pressure Wound Treatment dated 1/2017 -Provide guidelines for care of exiting pressure injuries and prevention of additional pressure injuries -Pressure injury treatment program should focus on the following: Managing tissue -Wound shows bone, tendon, muscle, joint or ligament the wound is a stage 4 -Off loading pressure -Monitor nutrition and hydration status

V7 did not cover the wound with any dressing and placed a clean, double folded flat sheet under R3. V7 turned R3 to the left side and positioned R1 with a pillow. V7 did not place any barrier cream on R3. On 11/29/21 at 12:36 pm, this surveyor observed a sign posted on the wall in clear view above R3's head of the bed which documents, in part, All Shifts: Please turn resident every 2 hours for wound healing . Apply moisture barrier after each incontinent episode . Per Wound Manager (V14). On 11/29/21 at 12:42 pm, V7 (CNA) stated that she (V7) was R3's assigned CNA.

V8 then pushed the treatment cart in front of R3's room. V8 stated that V14 (Wound Care Coordinator) was not in the facility today and that she (V8) would be performing R3's wound care treatment to the sacral wound. V8 reviewed the green treatment book on top of the treatment cart with R3's treatment administration record (TAR), and V8 said that she (V8) can see R3's order for a [MEDICATION(S)] rinse, but there is no [MEDICATION(S)] rinse in the cart. This surveyor and V8 read together R3's current treatment order from the TAR and retrieved the treatment supplies from the cart and placed them in a clean, clear bag. V8 stated, I washed my hands in the bathroom before I came out with the cart. R3's November 2021 TAR, documented, in part, R3's orders as: Site: Sacrum - Cleanse area with [MEDICATION(S)] rinse with NSS (normal sterile saline); pat dry.

On 11/29/21 at 1:00 pm, V8 yelled out to R4 who was attempting to stand up from the reclining wheelchair in the hallway. V8 walked over and repositioned R4's legs back into the reclining wheelchair. On 11/29/21 at 1:01 pm, V8 walked over to nurse's station sink and washed her (V8) hands with soap and water for only 10 seconds. V8 then entered R3's room where V7 was still holding the Calcium Alginate dressing on top of R3's sacral wound. V8 then donned new gloves, dated the 4 inches by 4 inches dry border, protective dressing with 11/29/21 date and placed it on top of the 6 inches by 6 inches Calcium Alginate dressing. V8 attempted to attach the left side of the border dressing to R3's left buttock cheek, but it didn't stick to the skin. V8 then pressed the remainder of the dry border dressing on top of the Calcium Alginate dressing where the three remaining sides of the dry boarder dressing did not cover the outer edges of the Calcium Alginate dressing. This surveyor asked V8 if R3's wound dressing is intact to R3, and V8 stated, That's the order in the box. I didn't have a bigger gauze (dry border dressing). I used what I had. There was no supply. I had to use the small one (dry border dressing). On 11/29/21 at 1:03 pm, after V7 and V8 completed R3's sacral pressure ulcer wound care dressing change, V7 did not place any barrier cream on R3.

When asked about the wound care treatment process from start to finish, V14 stated that the ordered treatment is located in the green treatment book on every floor and in the electronic medical record of the resident. V14 stated that nurses must follow that specific order because that's what I (V14) get from the (wound) doctor.

V14 stated that V21 (Wound Physician) recently changed to this order.

V14 stated that the nurse will then insert the Calcium Alginate dressing in the wound and cover the wound with the dry, protective dressing. V14 stated that the Calcium Alginate dressing should not extend beyond the border of the wound. V14 stated, It (Calcium Alginate) is a treatment and needs to be protected. V14 stated that she (V14) and floor nurses place their initials of their name on the TAR to show that the wound care treatment was done on a specific date and shift. V14 stated that the LAL mattress prevents sacral wounds from worsening by distributing air throughout the mattress so resident is not on hard frame and that it relieves tension on the sacrum. V14 stated that one flat sheet should be used on top of a LAL mattress. V14 stated, multiple layers of linens on a LAL mattress will impede air flow and create moisture. V14 stated that she (V14) typed the sign for R3 that is posted above R3's bed. V14 stated that nursing staff is to turn R3 every two hours, keep R3 clean and dry and to perform incontinence care every two hours. V14 stated that she (V14) doesn't want (R3's) wound soaked in urine which would cause bigger break down and infection. V14 stated that CNA's should apply barrier ointment after each cleansing and drying of the skin after each incontinent episode. When V14 was asked how often she (V14) is assessing R3's wound for size measurements and characteristics of the wound, V14 stated that the assessments are done every week, and The documentation should be there. V14 stated that the facility did change wound care physicians recently so there are gaps in weekly wound assessments.

V14 stated, September is not there. I can't tell you why I didn't do them. I am being honest with you. I do a lot and I am here by myself. At 2:46 pm Me (V14) or the wound doctor wasn't here. It was Thanksgiving on 11/25/21. It should be every 7 days. V25 (Wound Physician) documented in R3's Wound Evaluation and Management Summary on 9/21/21 that R3's sacral wound measured 2.8 centimeters (cm) in length by 2.2 cm in width by 1.3 cm in depth, and no undermining is documented.

V21 stated that R3 has a stage 4 pressure ulcer to the sacrum. V21 stated that she (V21) sees R3 weekly and performs weekly measurements of the wound. V21 stated, I (V21) did not see (R3) last Thursday because it was Thanksgiving, and I (V21) don't work on Thanksgiving. V21 stated that if she (V21) is not available to come to the facility weekly, then V14 will see the resident and measure the wound. V21 stated, R3 has an infection in (R3's) wound. V21 stated, The fact that (R3) has not healed over time is there is a bioburden in place in the wound which will cut the healing, and our primary goal is to heal the wound. Bacteria will delay in wound healing. (R3) has a heavy bioburden with a stage 4 wound. Our goal is to decrease the bioburden and thus decrease infection. V21 stated that there is a daily treatment order for R3's sacral wound. When asked what V21's expectation of the facility staff is to perform the daily treatment dressing change as V21 ordered, and V21 stated, Yes. V21 stated that using the [MEDICATION(S)] gel will help R3's wound heal from the inside out. When asked what V21's expectations are of the nursing staff to assist with wound healing, V21 stated that nurses are to keep doing what they are doing so to prevent bacteria from taking over the wound. Asked V21 if staff should secure the dry border dressing to minimize the amount of potential toxins entering the wound, and V21 stated, Yes. The dressing should be secured all the time. Asked V21 if any harm or potential harm could be caused to R3's wound from this surveyor's observations, and V21 stated that bacteria can migrate into the wound. V21 stated that R3's wound is packed with the gauze packing strip which has antimicrobial properties. V21 stated, R3's wound is colonized with bacteria, and (R3) doesn't have enough of an immune response. V21 stated, The (gauze packing strip) is packed to all of wound so it will absorb any secretions. V21 stated that the purpose of the gauze packing strip and Calcium Alginate is to absorb secretions to remove secretions from the wound. V21 stated that R3 has secretions from the sacral wound. When V21 was asked if it is important then for nursing staff to maintain the intactness of the border dressing over the wound, V21 stated, It needs to be secure outside the wound to have the (gauze packing strip) and calcium alginate stay put. It (border dressing) protects the (gauze packing strip) and Calcium Alginate. On 12/1/21 at 11:26 am, V2 (Director of Nursing, DON) stated that residents are to be turned and repositioned every two hours, and incontinence care is to be provided by CNA's every two hours and whenever needed. V2 stated, We want to prevent skin from being wet with incontinent urine because this will cause skin breakdown with urine eating at the skin. V2 stated that the facility has a stock barrier cream that is used for protection of a resident's skin against urine or feces. V2 stated, CNA's are to use it (barrier cream) every time they change residents. V2 stated, Hand washing is actually the number one thing to prevent any spread of infection.

I (V11) face time my friend V24 (smoke monitor) and she (V24) told me (V11) it was R1 before she (R1) even fell because I (V11) don't want to just walk behind anybody. Because I (V11) am not sure if she (R1) is a resident. I (V11) was close with her (R1) to make sure she (R1) was safe. On 10/20/2021 at 2:55pm, V11 (Dietary Aide) stated, The security that day was (V20). I (V11) think (V20) was in the bathroom. I (V11) did see the Janitor cleaning.

Findings include: R2's Face Sheet documents resident is a [AGE] year old with diagnoses including but not limited to: Nondisplaced subtrochanteric fracture of right femur, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing, [CONDITION(S)], unspecified, Foot drop, right foot, Presence of right artificial hip joint, History of falling, Difficulty in walking, not elsewhere classified, Unsteadiness on feet, Muscle weakness (generalized), Weakness, Other lack of coordination. Surveyor attempted to reach V11(LPN), the nurse on duty at the time the fall incident occurred on 06/29/2021 and on 06/30/202, unsuccessfully. On 07/01/2021 surveyor was able to reach V11 to obtain interview, but V11 refused to speak to surveyor by disconnecting the phone conversation once surveyor introduced self. On 06/30/2021 at 11:21am V8 (Certified Nursing Assistant- CNA) stated, Therapy gets R2 up every day and they also get him dressed. Since R2 sustained the fracture he is under the care of therapy and right now the therapists get the resident out of bed and help him get dressed. Therapy have not yet allowed the CNAs to get R2 out of bed. When R2's condition improves therapy will let us know that we can get R2 out of bed, but so far we have not received clearance. Prior to the fall on May 29, R2 was independent, he was able to transfer himself and walk independently. After the fall he is not able to ambulate and transfer independently due to the [CONDITION(S)]. On 06/30/21 at 11:29am V10 (Restorative Director) stated, R2 sustained a fall on 05/29/21 close to 1 am. R2 usually sits in the dining room and watches television. On May 29, R2 was walking back to his room after he was done watching TV and fell . The nurse on duty documented that she heard a sound in the hallway and observed R2 laying on the ground. R2 complained of pain after the fall to the right side of his hip. When I reviewed the camera footage which captured the entire incident, I saw that R2 tripped over a bedside side table which was left in the hallway. The bedside table was not being used at the time of the incident and was not put back where it belongs. Sometimes staff use a bedside table for meals in order to space the residents out, and they also use the side tables for activities. The side table was not in use and they did not place the side table back. There was no reason as to why the bedside table was left behind in the hallway. The reason R2 had the fall is because he tripped over a piece of furniture that should not have been there in the first place. On 06/30/2021 at 12:42pm V14 (Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant- COTA) stated, Prior to the fall, which occurred on 05/29/2021, R2 was ambulatory. He was able to transfer, walk independently. After the fall R2 is ambulatory with contact guard assist, minimal assist from sit to stand position. R2 is stand by assist from wheelchair level. Upper body is minimal assist. R2 lower body requires maximum assistance. R2 requires total assist with putting on shoes and maximum assistance with putting on pants. R2's bed mobility requires minimal to moderate assistance, depending on his pain level at the time. R2 is getting out of bed with the help of therapy at this point. When R2's condition improves and we feel that he is stronger, we will let the staff know that it's safe to get R2 up, but not at this time. R2's condition still has to improve. Surveyor attempted to interview R2 on 06/30/21 at 9:36am and 07/01/21 at 10:01am, however; R2 stated that he was sleepy and took pain medication. On 07/01/2021 at 2:20pm V1 (Administrator) stated, There is not supposed to be any furniture stored in the hallway. The bedside table should not be in the hallway. The table should not have been there. Sometimes they use those tables during mealtimes to provide social distancing for the residents, but when the table is not in use, it would have been removed especially from the hallway. Progress note (05/29/2021 12:49am) and fall incident report (05/29/2021 7:50am) documented by V11 (LPN) reads, R2 stumbled fell hard to his right side in the hallway, not able to stand or perform full Range Of Motion, sent to (hospital's name) ER.
