Inspection of March 1, 2023
6 findingsOn [DATE] an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist related to the facility's failure to ensure staff were available 24 hours a day who had current certification in CPR for Healthcare Providers (training to include hands-on practice and in-person skills) and maintain their certifications to be able to provide CPR until emergency medical services arrived. The facility failed to have a CPR policy and ensure staff were familiar with facility policies related to CPR. Three of the facility's 15 nurses had CPR certification, one night shift nurse who worked three shifts a week, one weekend nurse, who worked the day shift, and the administrator/RN, who was not on the schedule. No CMAs or CNAs had evidence of CPR certification. On [DATE] at 3:35 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health verified the existence of the IJ situation. On [DATE] at 3:41 p.m., the administrator was notified of the IJ situation. On [DATE] at 12:14 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was submitted to the Oklahoma State Department of Health. The plan of removal documented: [NAME] County Nursing Center February 23, 2023 On February 22, 2023 State Surveyors entered the facility to conduct a complaint survey and also an annual survey. Prior to leaving the facility on February 23, 2023 the survey team initiated an IJ template for the facility for failure to ensure that there was a system in place to ensure that there were an adequate number of staff in the facility that were healthcare provider CPR certified for each shift. The facility also failed to ensure that there was a CPR policy in place and to ensure that staff were familiar with the protocols related to providing CPR. 3 of 15 nurses were certified with only part of the facility being covered with at least one CPR certified employee in the facility at all times. All staff were required to be CPR certified upon hire and the instructor that was performing the CPR classes for the facility relocated to a job that did not allow her to continue to train our staff in CPR, therefore most staff CPR certifications expired in [DATE]. We have a nurse on staff that has completed the book work training to be certified as a CPR instructor but we have had difficulty locating an instructor to check her off for her skills and hands on training therefore we have difficulty finding someone to certify our staff in CPR. On February 23, 2023 from 1600 to 1800 Upon being given the IJ template all staff on shift were immediately inserviced by the administrator and the Director of Nursing on what to do in the event someone went into cardiac arrest, the new policies and procedures implemented by the facility regarding protocols for performing CPR, CPR certification requirements and the proper way to determine the residents code status. On February 23, 2023 from 1600 until 1800 by the assistant DON and the infection control preventionist, the remaining nursing staff were called and in serviced by phone on the proper protocols to follow regarding the proper procedures in the event a resident went into cardiac arrest, the new policy and procedures regarding CPR and CPR certification as well as the proper way to determine a residents code status. A Policy regarding CPR was immediately put into place and approved by the medical director administrator and the DON. During the Survey Process we had practical nursing students in the facility doing clinicals and their instructor informed us that she was in fact certified as a CPR instructor and that she was willing to come in on February 24, 2023, to certify the remaining nurses on staff that were not CPR certified. Therefore, All Nurses employed with our facility were instructed to present to the facility on [DATE], for CPR certification from 11 am to 2 pm. This will allow there to be a minimum of 2 Certified staff on shift at night and more than 5 certified staff on shift on days. We also scheduled all CNAs and CMAs to attend CPR training for those that just needed to renew their certification on Saturday and Sunday February 25th and 26th with classes being held from 8 am to 12 pm and 1 pm until 5 pm both days. And the following weekend from 8 am until 4 pm both with classes on both Saturday and Sunday for all staff that have not been certified previously. Another CPR certified employee was called into the facility to work tonight so that affective immediately there would not be any time that there is not several CPR certified staff on shift working ensuring that we had 24-hour coverage of staff that were CPR certified. These steps that were put into place will ensure that the 30 residents who currently reside in the facility that are full codes will be able to be provided care appropriately according to their wishes and code status ensuring that there will be staff always trained in CPR on shift. From this point forward and following the policy that the facility implemented all staff will be required to attend CPR certification with hands on training every 2 years and will be required to obtain or have their CPR certification prior to starting work or within 90 days from their hire date. The facility will comply and will have the immediacy of the deficiency of having numerous CPR certified staff on at all times twenty-four hours a day with all nurses CPR Certified and all remaining staff in-serviced, this correction will be completed by February 24, 2023, at 4pm. After completion of the correction of the immediate jeopardy, all CNAs and CMAs will attend CPR training in the weeks ahead to ensure that all nursing staff are certified. A CPR policy and Procedure was developed and implemented on February 23, 2023, and approved by the medical director, Administrator, and the DON. All staff were in-serviced and educated on the policies and protocols of the new policy by the administrator and the Director of Nurses. All staff verbalized understanding and importance of knowing the policy and procedure for the facility. All resident records also reviewed and updated with code status and if a DNR ensured a DNR was scanned into the medical record. The immediate Jeopardy will be corrected on February 24, 2023, by 4 pm. The IJ was lifted, effective [DATE] at 4:00 pm., when all the components of the plan of removal had been completed. The deficient practice remained at a pattern with potential for harm to Residents. Based on record review, observation, and interview, the facility failed to: a. ensure the availability of staff present 24 hours a day who had current certification in CPR for Healthcare Providers (training to include hands-on practice and in-person skills) and maintained their certifications to be able to provide CPR until emergency medical services arrived and b. have a CPR policy and ensure staff were familiar and trained in basic life support.

On [DATE], during record review, the IP/LPN provided the CPR for Health Care Providers certifications for the administrator/RN, LPN #3, and RN #1. She stated those were the only staff who were CPR certified. On [DATE] at 12:48 p.m., the DON and ADON were asked how the staff know the code status of a resident. The DON stated there was a list at the nurse station. She went and brought back the list of residents who had DNR status. She stated the list had not been updated. She stated it was dated back in 2021. The ADON stated she looked at the top right hand corner of the residents' EHR. During record review there were several residents' EHRs that did not have the code status at the top of their chart. The residents' code status was observed near the door of each resident. On [DATE] from 12:57 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., interviews where conducted with all staff on the halls. There were no staff who voiced they had CPR certification at this time except for two CNAs. The CNAs stated they thought their certification was still good but did not have their card with them. They said the facility had not asked them for their CPR certification card. [DATE] at 3:41 p.m., the administrator stated she did not realize CPR certification was a regulation. She stated the person who had been doing their CPR classes had stopped doing classes last year in June.

Inspection of July 21, 2015
1 findingOn 07/21/15 a past-noncompliance immediate jeopardy (IJ) was determined to exist related to the facility's failure to provide adequate supervision and have a system in place to effectively and consistently identify residents at risk for elopement and prevent elopement for a resident who had previously exited the building independently. The facility was aware resident #1 had previously exited the building by entering the code to an exit door. The resident exited the building unsupervised for a second time, obtained an employee's vehicle, and drove several miles from the nursing home. According to a police report the resident skidded 39 feet before she struck a fence with the vehicle. On 07/21/15 the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) was notified and verified the past-noncompliance IJ situation. The deficient practice was determined to be past-noncompliance related to the facility identifying the immediate jeopardy situation and implementing interventions to prevent recurrence of the situation. The facility conducted an inservice related to resident elopement on 07/09/15. The resident was placed on direct one on one observation until the elopement security system was installed on 07/13/15. Signs were placed on the door to alert visitors to please not let residents outside as they left the facility. An elopement book was initiated with resident picture identification and information in the case of an elopement. On 07/21/15 at 5:10 p.m., the administrator and director of nursing (DON) were notified of the past noncompliance immediate jeopardy situation which constituted substandard quality of care.

The facility's failure to provide adequate supervision resulted in an elopement for the two residents. The failure to provide adequate supervision for resident #1 resulted in the resident exiting the facility unsupervised then exited the building unsupervised a second time, which resulted in the resident taking a vehicle, driving away from the nursing home, and through a fence. Findings: The facility policy for missing residents documented the staff would make every effort to prevent residents from leaving the facility unsupervised or unattended. 1.

Inspection of June 14, 2012
1 findingOn 06/12/12 an immediate jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist regarding the facility's failure to ensure residents' safety in the area of resident to resident abuse and/or resident to resident altercations. Resident #1 exhibited sexual behavior towards a resident, slapped another resident, pushed another resident down to the floor, and four residents stated they were afraid of resident #1. On 06/12/12, the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) was notified and verified the immediate jeopardy situation related to the facility's failure to provide supervision to prevent accidents and/or protect residents. On 06/12/12 at 3:15 p.m., the administrator was informed of the IJ situation which also constituted substandard quality of care related to the facility's failure to provide supervision to prevent accidents. On 06/12/11 at 9:30 p.m., the administrator provided the survey team with an acceptable plan of removal which stated: "June 12, 2012 3:15 p.m. (Name deleted) administrator for (Name deleted) Nursing Center received notice from OSDH surveyors of an Immediate Jeopardy related to 'supervision to prevent potential/actual accidents.'" The facility will ensure that residents remain free of accident hazards by providing them with supervision and/or interventions to prevent reoccurrence. Interventions will be resident specific and will be continually monitored for effectiveness. Residents with behavior issues will be discussed with the QA committee. If a resident exhibits any type of behavior problems, staff will place the resident on 72 hour charting to monitor the behavior. Staff will evaluate the time, environment and situation when the behavior occurred and provide interventions accordingly. The behavior medication regimen will be evaluated with the physician. If the behavior continues and interventions are unsuccessful, the facility will consult with the physician for a possible Geri-psych evaluation or alternate placement of the resident. The resident in question related to the IJ situation received orders on 6/11/12 to transfer to (Name deleted) geripsych unit in (Name deleted) Ok. Received notification from staff at (Name deleted) that they could accept her on 6/12/12 around 11 a.m. and that they would transport her. The resident was transferred to (Name deleted) on 6/12/12 at approximately 1:00 p.m. by representatives from that facility. 6/12/12 12:30 p.m. the DON spoke with (Name deleted), (Name deleted) daughter, and gave her the information from the ombudsman on two different facilities with Alzheimer's units and informed her that arrangements needed to be made to transfer the resident to one of them. All staff will be in-serviced on resident to resident abuse by Thursday June 13, 2012. All staff will be required to take a quiz over the in-service and will be required to achieve a 100% on the quiz. The quiz will be re-administered until the staff member meets the requirements. In-services will be conducted Q 6 months with all staff over abuse. The DON/designee will conduct random audits of all staff to determine their knowledge of the abuse policy. Immediate in-services will be conducted if an employee fails the random audit." Surveyors interviewed staff on all shifts, including week-end staff, to verify their knowledge to prevent accidents related to residents who required supervision. The staff verbalized an understanding of the importance of supervision related to the prevention of accidents. On 06/14/11 at 5:50 p.m., the facility was informed the IJ was removed, effective 06/13/11 at 10:00 p.m., when the last staff member had been in-serviced and the staff verbalized an understanding of the inservices.
