Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff adhered to Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) by wearing the required personal protective equipment (PPE) during wound care for three residents (R401, R402 and R403) of three residents reviewed under EBP due to colonization or risk factors associated with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). The failure to utilize required isolation gowns during high-contact resident care increased the risk of transmission of MDROs and other infectious pathogens among residents.Findings include:On 6/10/26 at 10:40 AM, observed the Wound Care Nurse (WCN) perform wound care to R403's sacral/coccyx wound. After gathering supplies, the WCN cleansed and changed the dressing. Throughout the wound care procedure, the WCN did not wear an isolation gown as required under EBP.On 6/10/26 at 10:50 AM, observed the WCN perform wound care to R401's sacral/coccyx wound. The WCN cleansed the wound and changed the dressing without wearing an isolation gown.On 6/10/26 at 11:20 AM, observed the WCN perform wound care to R402's right heel wound. The WCN cleansed the wound and changed the dressing without wearing an isolation gown.Record review revealed:R403 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including major depressive disorder, hypertension, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute respiratory failure.Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] indicated a Brief interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 14/15 reflecting that the resident was cognitively intact.R401 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, atherosclerotic heart disease, congestive heart failure and osteoarthritisReview of the MDS dated [DATE] indicated resident had a BIMS of 12/15 (moderate impaired cognition).R402 was initially admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including non-pressure chronic ulcer of the right heel and midfoot, hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction, lumbar spinal stenosis, vascular dementia, epilepsy, mood disorder and history of falls.Review of MDS dated [DATE] noted a BIMS score of 11/15 (moderate impaired cognition).On 6/10/26 at 11:35 AM, the WCN was interviewed and said that an isolation gown was not worn during wound care because the available gowns did not fit them. The WCN further said that a request had been made for larger sized isolation gowns. The WCN acknowledged that gowns are required during wound care to reduce the risk of pathogen transmission and to protect residents from infection.On 6/10/26 at 11:45 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Nursing Home Administrator were interviewed. The DON said the purpose of EBP is to protect residents and staff from the transmission of infectious organisms. The DON said that staff are expected to wear both gowns and gloves when providing wound care and other high-contact resident care activities. The NHA said that the facility had not previously received requests from staff for larger sized isolation gowns.Review of the facility policy titled, Personal Protection Equipment Guidelines, revised 4/12/24, indicated that EBP require the use of gowns and gloves during high-contact resident care activities. The policy further identified wound care, device care, hygiene care and bathing as examples of high-contact care and noted that the use of gowns and gloves reduces the transmission of MDROs between staff and residents.

Findings:On 2/18/26 at 11:30 AM, during observation of kitchen lunch service with AM Cook/Manager-in-Training (MiT) D, Dietary Manager (DM) F, and Regional Dietary Director (RDD) K, the steam table was set with pans of food ready to be served to facility residents. The following was noted while obtaining the temperatures of food on the steam table:- The mechanical soft beef stew contained large pieces of stew meat and potatoes approximately the size of golf balls.- The vegetables designated for the residents on a pureed diet contained pieces of pea-sized vegetables.- No pans of pureed meat were present.- The first meal ticket on the tray service line was for a resident on a mechanical soft diet. On 2/18/26 at 11:50 AM, DM F was queried about the consistency of the food prepared for the residents on mechanical soft and pureed diets. DM F said that AM Cook/MiT D indicated that the situation had been handled. Presently, AM Cook/MiT D had stepped out of the kitchen. On 2/18/26 at 12:02 PM, RDD K said they were going to have to hand deliver the mechanical soft diet meal trays, so the tray line was not delayed more. On 2/18/26 at 12:03 PM, upon returning to the kitchen, AM Cook/MiT D was interviewed regarding the missing pureed meat and the consistency of the stew meat, potatoes, and vegetables. AM Cook/MiT D stated, I was doing too much today. AM Cook/MiT D obtained the food processor and began to further process the mechanical soft beef stew meat and the pureed vegetables. AM Cook/MiT D obtained stew meat and processed it for the residents on pureed diets. On 2/18/26 the first lunch meal cart was completed and left the kitchen for delivery to the residents' floor at 12:13 PM. A review of a facility document provided during the survey titled, Meal Times, indicated that scheduled lunch service begins at 11:30 AM. On 2/20/26 at 10:57 AM, DM F said lunch meal service starts at 11:30 AM and the first lunch meal cart should leave the kitchen around 11:45 AM. When queried about lunch service on 2/18/26 DM F stated, The start was late. On 2/20/26 at 12:03 PM, the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) said it was not acceptable for the meal to be served late because the food was not prepared timely. On 2/20/26 at 3:00 PM, the NHA and Director of Nursing were asked if there was any additional documentation or information that the facility would like to provide prior to the end of the survey and they reported there was none.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the reach-in cooler, located in the dietary office, was maintained in good working order. Findings include: On 2/18/26 at 9:09 AM, during a tour of the kitchen with Dietary Manager (DM) F, the following was noted: - The temperature log for the reach-in cooler located in the dietary office documented the following AM temperatures:2/15/26: 49 F (Fahrenheit).2/16/26: 48 F2/17/26: 44 F2/18/26: 45 F- The thermometer inside of the reach-in cooler registered 47 F.- The gasket for the left positioned cooler door was not installed which kept the cooler door ajar, causing the internal temperature to rise above safe levels. The door gasket was observed lying on top of a metal shelving unit.DM F said they have been having a little problem with this unit, and that maintenance had been fixing on it. DM F said this refrigerator should be maintained between 30-40 degrees. Staff were to contact maintenance if the temperature was above 40 degrees.

The following items were noted: The wall behind the clean pot/pan shelving unit showed surface damage and paint loss from repeated impact. Two wall panels beside the three-compartment sink drainboard were detached, exposing the raw block wall behind them. A light fixture cover positioned above the cooking range exhibited visible grease accumulation in the form of suspended droplets. DM F said the hood and light fixture covers were cleaned once a month. DM F added, If something looks like it's going to drop in the food, we move stuff (the cooking food) over and clean the light fixture. Four ladles of varying sizes were hanging from a rack, bowl side up. DM F said dust could collect inside of the bowls. The air conditioning unit vents in the room housing a reach-in cooler, reach-in freezer, and single-service items were soiled with accumulated dust. On 2/18/26 at 12:14 PM, Maintenance Director E said the wall panels/covering for the wall near the kitchen three-compartment sink were not in stock and will have to be ordered. On 2/20/26 at 9:49 AM, the contents of the 2nd floor resident refrigerator were observed with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) H and revealed a 3.7 oz. opened and unlabeled container of cheddar cheese sauce. LPN H said the cheddar cheese sauce was supposed to be dated and have the resident's name on it. On 2/20/26 at 10:20 AM, the contents of the 3rd floor resident refrigerator were observed with LPN I and revealed an opened and unlabeled 12 oz. can of carbonated beverage. The inside shelving of the refrigerator was stained with substances that appeared to be dried and sticky. The thermometer inside the refrigerator registered at 46 F (Fahrenheit). On 2/20/26 at 10:57 AM, DM F said that refrigerators should be maintained between 30-40 F. DM was unsure of who was responsible for cleaning the resident refrigerators. DM F confirmed that food stored in the resident refrigerators should be dated and labeled with the resident's name. DM F indicated the chipped paint behind the clean pot/pan shelving and the exposed block wall were a concern. On 2/20/26 at 11:56 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, I don't know who is responsible for cleaning the resident refrigerators. On 2/20/26 at 12:03 PM, the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) said resident refrigerators should be clean, maintained at the correct temperature, and resident food items should be labeled and dated. On 2/20/26 at 3:00 PM, the NHA and DON were asked if there was any additional documentation or information that the facility would like to provide prior to the end of the survey and they reported there was none. A review of the facility document titled, Personal Food Guideline, dated 3/12/18, was reviewed and revealed in part the following:- Food brought from outside sources by residents, friends or family will be stored in a designated location and labeled as such, separately from facility food. Labeling will include received date, use by date, and resident name.- Staff members will ensure food should be labeled, dated, (and) stored in proper temperature zone.

3 findingsThis citation pertains to intake #MI00148730 Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the use of an appropriate wheelchair for one resident (R902) of three residents reviewed for accidents, resulting in a fractured tibia and fibula (the two long bones in the lower leg that connect the knee to the ankle). Findings include: An anonymous complaint received by the State Agency alleged R902 was not placed in an appropriate wheelchair for transport and sustained a broken tibia and fibula. On 12/11/24 at 9:34 AM, a power wheelchair was observed in the hallway outside R902's room. It was observed the power chair had very long and wide foot rests to prevent feet from slipping off the foot rests. On 12/11/24 at 9:38 AM, R902 was observed in their bed. At that time, an interview was conducted with R902 regarding an accident that occurred resulting in their broken leg bones. R902 said on the morning of 11/11/24 two Certified Nurse Aides (CNA's), CNA 'A' and CNA 'B' transferred them into a manual wheelchair so they could attend an eye appointment. R902 said they were supposed to go to their appointment in their power chair but the CNA's told them the power chair would not fit in the transport van so they were going by manual wheelchair. R902 continued to explain that while they were being pushed down the hall in the manual wheelchair by CNA 'B' their foot slipped off the foot pedal, their leg got caught under the chair as it was in forward motion and she sustained two fractures in their right leg. A review of a facility provided investigation into the accident was conducted and a statement from CNA 'B' read, .on nov (November) 11-2024 I (CNA 'B') assist the cna (CNA 'A') with a transfer of putting (R902) in the chair, for a DR (doctor) appt, (appointment) upon putting her in the chair her foot slid off the pedal, i <sic> had the cna (CNA 'A') put it back on the foot pedal, then as i <sic> went to push her down the hall, her foot fell off the foot pedal again, and (R902) said my feet is off the pedal its <sic> on the floor, and (R902) said my foot hurts, so I went and get <sic> the nurse to help us pull her up, and help put her foot back on the foot pedal. A progress note dated 11/11/24 by a physician's extender was reviewed and read, Nurse notified provider that patient has pain, warmth, swelling of section of right lower extremity.

They were asked about the incident and said CNA 'B' reported to them R902's foot slipped off the wheelchair pedal. They were asked if it would be normal to report a resident's foot slipping off a wheelchair pedal and they said they thought it was kind of odd. They said they went to the resident, observed both feet on the pedals and said R902 denied pain so they were sent to their appointment. They further reported when R902 arrived back to the facility after their appointment they were complaining of pain in their right leg. They said they looked at the leg noticed it was red and swollen, and they notified the nurse practitioner. On 12/11/24 at 11:39 AM, an interview was conducted with CNA 'B', who was pushing R902 in the wheelchair when the incident occurred. They said they assisted CNA 'A' transfer R902 into the manual wheelchair and put their feet on the wheelchair pedals. They said R902's right foot slipped off the pedal prior to starting the transport and they put it back on the pedal. They further said the right foot slipped off the pedal a second time while they were pushing the resident down the hall. They said their leg/foot got caught under the wheelchair during the transport and R902 complained of pain in their leg so they reported it to the nurse. They were asked why R902 was using a manual wheelchair and not their power chair and they said the power chair would not fit in the transport van. A review of a progress note in the record dated 4/24/24 was reviewed and read, .Reason for Visit: Mobility Evaluation .She is unable to ambulate or propel with manual wheelchair due to immobility .Manual wheelchair would not be appropriate for patient due to decreased active range of motion of lower extremities. Resident does not have enough strength to propel manual wheelchair .(R902) does have physical and mental ability to operate a power wheelchair safely. A power wheelchair will significantly improve patient's life by enabling her to be out of bed and participate in social activities at facility. Also, would help make transfers to outside appointments easier for patient . A review of a therapy note dated 9/5/24 after a hospital stay from 8/30/24 to 9/5/24 was conducted and read, .Physician's order received for skilled physical therapy .Also recommended gerichair <sic> (a large, padded, reclining chair with wheels that is designed to help people with limited mobility) when out of bed properly positioned with extra pillows as needed . It was noted that was the last therapy recommendation prior to the R902 fracturing their leg on 11/11/24, and nothing indicated R902 would have been appropriate for either their power chair or a manual wheelchair at the time of the incident. On 12/11/24 at 3:50 PM, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) regarding R902's accident and fractured tibia and fibula. They were asked why a manual wheelchair had been used for transport and said R902 couldn't go in their power chair because it would not fit in the transport van, and they couldn't go in a geri-chair because there was no way to safely strap a geri-chair into the van, so they were sent in a manual wheelchair. Finally, they were asked that if neither the power chair or geri-chair could be used, could R902 have gone to their appointment by a stretcher and they said they would find out, however; a reply to the question was not provided by the end of the survey. A review of a facility provided policy titled WHEEL CHAIR <sic> USE AND POSITIONING dated 4/2017 was conducted and read, .All residents are assessed for mobility.

1 findingThis citation pertains to Intake/ FRI #MI 7 & #MI 0. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to protect a vulnerable resident from a sexual assault by a male employee (whom had previous allegations of sexual abuse reported by female residents against him), resulting in an immediate jeopardy for one resident (#506) out of a sample of four residents reviewed for abuse resulting in actual harm, mental anguish, feelings of compromised safety, and the overall safety for all residents that reside in the facility. The immediate jeopardy was identified on 12/19/18 at 1:52 p.m. The immediate jeopardy began on 12/14/18 at 12:33 a.m. when an employee observed a sexual assault occurring by a male employee against a female resident. The Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 12/19/18 at 3:15 p.m and a plan for removal was requested. The immediacy was removed on 12/14/18 when the employee was removed from the resident's room, escorted off the facility's premises and apprehended by the police. Surveyors verified the removal of the immediacy on site by record review and interview on 12/19/18. Although immediacy was removed, the facility's deficit practice was not corrected and remained isolated with harm that is not immediate jeopardy. Findings include: On 12/18/18 at 12:32 p.m., review of R#506's clinical record documented the Resident was initially admitted into the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. According to the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], the Resident had severe cognitive impairment and required supervision/setup with most activities of daily living (ADLs). On 12/18/18 at 9:36 a.m., the facility submitted a facility investigation and other pertinent documentation regarding a facility reported incident (FRI) that occurred on 12/14/18. It was reported R#506 was allegedly witnessed (by CENA A) being sexually abused by a male CENA at the facility. The employee was escorted out of the facility, and suspended pending investigation. The CENA was later detained by local law enforcement. R#506 was transferred to the hospital on [DATE] and later transferred to another facility after hospitalization subsequent to the incident occurring. On 12/18/18 at 4:41 p.m., a Nurse's note dated 12/14/18 was reviewed and documented: 12/14/2018 03:38 *Health Status Note (nurses note) Note Text: On MN shift, the CNA assigned to (resident's name) informed the nurse that when she went back into resident's room, she caught the male CNA with his pants and underwear down, standing behind the resident while her pants and underwear were down-performing sexual activity on the resident in the resident's bathroom. Resident stated, I'm glad y'all caught that man he always in here touching and grabbing on me. The DON, Administrator, Police Dept., Unit Mgrs, and investigation team are aware of the situation. Voicemail was left for Guardian and MD. The investigation is ongoing at this time. Resident was transferred out to (hospital's name). On 12/19/18 at 8:49 a.m., CENA A was interviewed. CENA A confirmed being the CENA that witnessed the incident. CENA A also confirmed being R#506's consistent CENA as well as the other resident that resides in the room. CENA A was asked to recall the incident that occurred on 12/14/18 on the midnight shift. CENA A stated, I was doing my rounds changing a resident (R#506 roommate) when I noticed (male CENA name) standing behind me in the door way. He stated he was coming to visit R#506 because he heard she was not feeling well and had she found her purse. R#506 was in bed. I went across the hall to take care of another resident and asked (male CENA) to assist me. After helping that resident, I stayed in the room and he left the room. I thought he went back down to the first floor. I went to get (R#506's roommate) a blanket and noticed the Resident was not in bed. It seemed weird to me because she doesn't usually get up to go to the bathroom at night. I then noticed the bathroom light was on and the door was open, the rest of the room was dark. When I looked into the bathroom the male CENA had his pants and underwear down to his knees while standing behind the Resident. The Resident had her pants down to her knees. The Resident was bent over the sink with her head down in the sink while holding on to the sink. I saw the male CENA was humping on the Resident from behind until he saw me standing there. I said loudly, 'BRO SERIOUSLY!', that's when he hurried to pull up his pants up and the Resident's pants. He rushed out the bathroom. I was yelling, 'BRO SERIOUSLY, ARE YOU FOR REAL, JUST GET OUT, GET OUT!'. When I started yelling, he tried to calm me down and keep me quiet. He kept putting his hands around my shoulders and keep me from going out the room, the whole time I was yelling for him to leave the room. I was also yelling at him when I told him to stop touching me and get out the room, that's when I pushed him out of the room into the hall and started yelling again. That's when the nurse came to the room from the nurse's station and asked what happened. The male CENA then walked down the hall trying to explain himself as I walked to the nurse's station. CENA A was asked where and what was the Resident doing while she tried to get the male CENA out of the room. CENA A stated, She was standing by the bathroom door. She didn't say much. CENA A was asked to describe the Resident's reaction. CENA A stated, She appeared shaken but easily calmed especially after changing her clothes. She just kept saying Nurse C was asked to describe the condition the Resident was in. Nurse C stated the Resident told her, He is always in here grabbing on me, trying to have sex with me but I fought him off., Thank you baby. Thank you. CENA A was then asked, to her knowledge, if the male CENA was supposed to be on that floor (3rd floor), if not what was the reason. CENA A stated, No he wasn't supposed to be on the third floor because of some other incidents that happened when he worked on the third floor. I heard about them but didn't see them for myself. On 12/19/18 at 2:17 p.m., Nurse C was interviewed via telephone. Nurse C confirmed being the third-floor midnight shift nurse on 12/14/18. Nurse C was asked to recall the incident. Nurse C stated, I heard screaming coming from the back hall. I ran to where the screaming was coming from and heard the CENA (CENA A) yell 'I CAUGHT YOU!' I saw the male CENA try to put the CENA (CENA A) in the room. That's when she told me what happened. Nurse C was asked was the male CENA assigned to the third floor. Nurse C stated, No he was not. He was assigned to the first floor. Nurse C was asked was the male CENA supposed to be on the third floor. Nurse C stated, I know he wasn't supposed to work on the third floor but nothing about visiting. Nurse C was asked the reason the male CENA could no longer work on the third floor. Nurse C stated, Because there was an incident a while back and he was moved to another floor after that. Nurse C was asked to describe the condition the Resident was in. Nurse C stated the Resident told her, He is always in here grabbing on me, trying to have sex with me but I fought him off. She didnt appear to be in distress at that time.

The Staffing Coordinator was asked if the male CENA was to go on the third floor after the allegation was made. The Staffing Coordinator stated, I'm not sure what all happened with the allegation, but I was told to schedule him to the first floor and he was not to go to the third floor. The Staffing Coordinator was asked who gave the directive for the male CENA not to go to the third floor. The Staffing Coordinator stated, The DON gave an in-service about it. The DON confirmed this was the statement she had documented. The DON was asked if the male CENA had previous allegations made against him. The DON stated the male CENA had two allegations made against him in which he was named directly in them. The DON also stated the allegations were unsubstantiated. The DON was asked what the outcome from the previous allegations were. The DON stated, Besides being suspended pending investigation, the CENA was given a Skills Assessment and assigned to a different floor. Interventions were also done with the residents. A verbal conversation was had with the CENA, me, the Administrator, and Unit Manager to permanently stay on the first floor, however it was not a directive. The DON was asked was it was communicated to other staff that the CENA was not to go on the third floor. The DON stated, It was just discussed between the CENA, me, the Unit Manager, and scheduler to lessen the rumors and gossip amongst the other staff. He was not to work on the third floor, but he was not banned.

Her old age with immobility and resulting [MEDICAL CONDITION] making bones brittle and easy to fracture . Note written by MP R. Facility document titled, Verification of Investigation Conclusion, dated 9/30/17, documented: according to (Registered Nurse, Staff N) in the afternoon on 9/28/17 (R702) has been redirected several times because she's been scooting, sliding, hitting, and swinging both her legs and feet out of the Geri-chair. This is further confirmed by (Nurse Practitioner, Staff M). According to (Staff M) she even has to pick-up the resident's leg back to the Geri-chair a couple of times. On 2/6/18 at 11:36 a.m., when Nurse Practitioner, Staff M was interviewed over the telephone, she said, At times I saw (R702) swing her legs (from the wheelchair). I noticed she does that. When queried about the time frame of her observations, Staff M said, I saw her do it within the last month. Staff M stated she felt the way she observed R702 swing her leg could result in harm. Staff M stated she helped to reposition R702's leg on occasion. When Staff M was queried about what action she took related to her observations, she said, I notified the nurse and mentioned it to the doctor. Staff M stated she was not sure what they did with that information. On 2/6/18 at 12:20 p.m., afternoon nursing supervisor, Staff N was interviewed over the telephone regarding her observations of R702. Staff N said, (R702) needed quite a bit of care as far as feeding her; transferring her; she was pretty much total care. When queried about R702's ankle fracture, she said, R702 was always in the Geri-chair. I personally had to move her legs back into the Geri chair. I saw (R702's) legs hanging and moving. She could swing her legs. She swung her leg and moved it off the chair. Staff N said he felt the dangling and swinging of the legs could cause an injury. When queried about what interventions were in place to prevent R702's legs from dangling and hitting the chair or if she notified the therapy department about her concerns, Staff N said, I would just monitor her and put her legs back. 2/6/18 at 1:10 PM., a review of R702's medical record was conducted with the DON and the Regional Director of Clinical Education (RDCE). The DON was not employed by the facility when R702 sustained the trimalleolar fracture of right ankle. The RDCE was involved in the investigation of the ankle fracture. The RDCE stated the conclusion of the investigation determined that R702 swung her leg and sustained a fracture. Per the DON and RDCE, a review of R702's progress notes did not reveal any documentation of staff observations of R702 swinging her legs while sitting in the Geri chair prior to 9/30/17. A review of R702's care plans was conducted with the DON and RDCE. A Safety care plan initiated on 9/30/17 documented the following focus: (R702) is at risk for falls related to confusion and weakness. Potential for injury due to constant swinging and sliding motion while in Geri chair. When queried if R702 had a care plan that addressed Geri chair safety concerns prior to the ankle fracture, the RDCE said, I'm not seeing that. On 2/6/18 at 1:41 PM, Social Worker, Staff K was interviewed and her progress notes reviewed. Staff K stated she did not receive reports of R702 swinging her leg from the Geri chair. The RDCE indicated R702 was receiving hospice services. The RDCE agreed there should be coordination of services between the facility and the hospice provider. The RDCE was queried if hospice was notified about R702 swinging her legs from the Geri chair. The RDCE reviewed the hospice notes and could not find documentation of this concern. When the RDCE was queried about what action staff should have taken when R702 was observed swinging her legs from the Geri chair, he said, There should have been a psych referral. A psych consult would have addressed the behavior; but on the other hand, the behavior may not be agitation. It could be an involuntary movement; therefore it would (require) clinical/medical intervention. The doctor could have seen it and addressed it by therapy or medication. A review of the clinical record with the DON and RDCE did not reveal implementation of psych or clinical/medical interventions for R702's observed behavior of swinging her legs from the Geri chair prior to sending her out to the hospital. Deficient practice #2. This citation pertains to MI 892. Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure an exit corridor was adequately unobstructed when the 1st floor North exit door was observed to have several large bulky items stored on each side of the hallway, resulting in the potential for a delay in resident egress in the event of an emergency. Findings include: On 2/5/18 at 10:44 AM, when the 1st floor Unit Manager, Staff L, was asked to identify the exit door near the 1st floor nurse's station, she stated it was the north exit door. The following was observed in the proximity of the 1st floor north exit door: --placed on one side of the hallway was a crash cart and treatment cart --placed on the other side of the hallway was a nondescript cart (later identified as an IV cart). The signage on the 1st floor north exit door indicated Do not block the exit with the cart. On 2/5/18, at 11:30 AM, 3:00 PM, and 4:20 PM the placement of the three carts were observed unchanged in the proximity of the 1st floor north exit door. On 2/5/18 at 4:22 PM, when Unit Manager, Staff L was queried if she would use the 1st floor exit door in an emergency, she said, Yes. On 2/5/18 at 4:23 PM, Maintenance Director, Staff C was observed moving the IV cart away from the proximity of the 1st floor north exit door. When queried why he moved the cart, Staff C said, The cart was blocking the pass way to the stairway. The stairway is an exit. On 2/6/18 at 2:30 PM, when the Administrator was queried about her expectations for storing equipment in the hallway, she said, Space is limited, however, items should not be stored near exit doors because it's a safety hazard.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to implement measures for elopement behaviors identified on the care plan for one resident (#501) of two residents sampled for elopement, from a total of five sampled residents, allowing the resident to enter a code lock elevator unobserved, descend to the second floor, and successfully exit the facility unobserved by staff. The facility remained unaware of the missing resident until local law enforcement returned the resident to the facility. The resident was missing 52 minutes without staff being aware she was missing. This deficient practice placed a total of eight other residents identified by the facility as exhibiting elopement risk behavior for the potential of bodily harm and/or death. The Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 2/15/17 at 3:51 p.m., and the Administrator was asked for a plan of removal at 5:20 p.m., on 2/15/17. The IJ was removed on 2/16/17 at 5:25 p.m., based on the facility's implementation of the plan of removal as verified by the surveyors. Although the IJ was removed the facility's deficient practice was not corrected and remained isolated with no actual harm with the potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy. Findings include: On 2/15/17 at 9:00 a.m., the Administrator was asked for instances of elopement that occurred in the last 15 days including the Incident and Accident (I & A) reports with investigations. At 11:57 a.m., the Administrator provided one file regarding a resident elopement that involved Resident #501. On 2/15/17 at 9:15 a.m., resident # 501 was observed standing in her room and when greeted smiled and stated, I guess I'm tired, and unfolded a pair of clean socks and pointed to her name written on the socks. When asked about her feelings on living at the nursing home she replied, I like it right here, and pointed to the floor where she was standing, But when you go over there you get real old, and pointed to her roommates space. When asked if she went outside in the cold lately, I went with my mother and my father, pointing at the bathroom. On 2/15/17 at 9:30 a.m., review of Resident # 501's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of resident # 501's annual Minimum (MDS) data set [DATE] revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) indicating severely impaired cognition. Further review of the medical record revealed the resident's care plan interventions that included: Monitor whereabouts when out of the room and monitor whereabouts throughout the day. On 2/15/17 at 11:25 a.m., documents at the third floor nurses station were reviewed. The resident census on the third floor on 2/9/17 was 42 residents. The document further indicated that there were two nurses (Nurses K and P) and four Certified Nurses Aides (CNA's). (CNA's B, C, H, and Q). CNA C was assigned to resident # 501. On 2/15/17 at 11:35 a.m., an interview with CNA B was conducted. CNA B was asked if she was familiar with resident # 501 and if she could recall resident # 501 eloping on 2/9/17. CNA B stated, Yes, I'm a float but I know her. She's always trying to get into the elevator. She was in the bathroom and when the elevator opened she darted in. I was taking down trays at he time, there were nurses at the desk, and we were taking care of the residents. I was down stairs, the camera showed that she went from the bathroom to the elevator. On 2/15/17 at 11:42 a.m., an interview with CNA C was conducted. CNA C was asked if she could recall anything regarding the elopement of resident # 501 on 2/9/17. CNA C stated, She was in the room while I changed her room mate, she left and went down the hall, the nurse saw her walk down the hall. Then I took her room mate to the dayroom around 1:30 p.m., then the nurse got the call that she (resident # 501) left the floor. On 2/15/17 at 11:45 p.m., an interview with Nurse K was conducted. Nurse K was asked if she could recall anything regarding the elopement of resident #501 on 2/9/17. Nurse K stated, They brought her back at 2:00 p.m., and the receptionist called a little earlier. No injuries upon return, I called the family to let them know. She doesn't always try to get out from the elevator, normally she walks down the hall and stands in front of the window, that end or the other. On 2/15/17 at 12:45 p.m., an interview with the Receptionist was conducted. The Receptionist was asked if could recall anything regarding the elopement of resident # 501 on 2/9/27. The Receptionist stated, That day I had received a phone call and was looking at the census list. I did not see or hear the resident leave. It's a very quiet door, and the combination lock was not on. On 2/15/17, throughout the tour of the facility it was noticed that the stairwells were alarmed upon opening, but none of the staff reacted to the alarms when the surveyor used the stairwells. On 2/15/17 at 11:57 a.m., record review of resident # 501's I & A report was conducted. Part of the I & A was staff interviews, including Nurse P, CNA's B, C, H, L, and Q, and the Receptionist. All interviewed staff denied seeing resident leaving the third floor or the building. On 2/15/17 at 3:00 p.m., the Administrator was asked about the elopement of resident # 501 and stated, She went to the apartment building behind the gas station. (about 100 yards away on the other side of a major intersection) The manager of the apartment building took her in and called the police The Administrator showed the video recorded on the day of resident's elopement. Using the time frame recorded on the video the following was observed: - at 12:58 p.m., resident # 501 was observed to leave her room and walk passed the elevator. - at 1:00 p.m., the resident was observed standing in front of the elevator momentarily. - at 1:01 p.m., Nurse K was observed exiting the elevator, looking left and right before turning left.

When asked if anyone knew that Resident # 501 left the building, both stated, No one knew. When asked why this incident was not reported to the State Agency, the Administrator stated, I didn't think I had to, I felt there was a two hour, here were no injuries, we put things in place to prevent it happening again, did a lock down, If she was injured I would have. I did a power point on abuse, neglect, and elopement, I thought there was a two hour. The Administrator never defined a two hour. On 2/16/17 at 1:34 p.m., the DON was again interviewed and was asked how does your staff monitor the residents with elopement risk behavior per the care plan and stated, We actually create tasks, it's on the Kiosk (computer terminals for CAN's use), they actually chart. When asked what method of monitoring the residents is used. They monitor them visually. When asked how often the residents are visually monitored the DON stated, Well it's every one hour now. When asked how often the residents were visually monitored before 2/9/17, the DON did not answer. The Administrator and DON were asked to provide a list of residents that have elopement risk behavior. The DON left the room and came back with a binder labeled Elopement Book, within the book each resident had a photograph and their face sheet in a plastic sleeve, the residents included: Sampled residents #'s 501 and 505, and supplementary residents #'s 2, 16, 24, 34, 47, 76, and 86. The DON was then asked where these binders are kept and stated, At the nurses stations and the reception desk. On 2/16/17 at 2:00 p.m., the Receptionist was asked about receiving the elopement book, I got it last week. The Receptionist was then asked if there was anything at the reception desk to help identify residents with elopement risk behavior prior to last week, the Receptionist shook her head no. On 2/16/17 at 2:30 p.m., the Director of Maintenance (DOM) was asked about the code alarm on the lobby door and stated, It was installed a few years ago, it's on 24/7 now.

1 findingBased on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that an indwelling catheter (Foley) was properly secured to prevent pulling and damage to the meatus (opening of the penis) for one (#502) of two residents observed with catheters, from a total of 17 sampled residents, resulting in damage to the meatal opening of Resident #502's penis with visible bleeding. Findings include: On 10/7/14 at 8:50 a.m., during an initial tour of the facility, Resident #502 was observed in his room laying in bed in supine (back) position. Resident #502 was observed with an indwelling urinary catheter that was not anchored to his leg. A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident #502 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The most recent Minimum Data Set ((MDS) dated [DATE] revealed that Resident #502 had moderately impaired cognitive skills for decision making and required total physical assistance of staff with all activities of daily living including, bed mobility, transfers, dressing, eating, hygiene and bathing. The MDS acknowledged the presence of an indwelling catheter. On 10/7/14 at 11:15, Resident #502 was observed in his room laying in bed. Resident #502's Foley catheter tubing was not been secured in order to prevent tugging and pulling at the meatus. A review of Resident #502's "Indwelling Catheter" care plan dated 7/14/14 documented: "Indwelling urinary catheter related to [MEDICAL CONDITION] and sacral decub (pressure sore). Plan: Anchor Foley Catheter." On 10/8/14 at 10:55 a.m., during a skin assessment and wound care observation, Resident #502 was observed in his room laying in bed in supine position. Upon repositioning, Resident #502 was observed with bleeding from the meatal opening of his penis. Blood was noted to his brief and linens. LPN "I" (Licensed Practical Nurse/wound care nurse) who was present to change Resident #502's dressings, reported, "He didn't have a leg strap on. I put one on just yesterday. It was much later in the afternoon. I didn't document the time." CNA "H" (Certified Nursing Assistant) who was present to assist with repositioning during the wound care observation reported, "I came in this morning and his (Resident #502) Foley was dislodged. It was just laying across him and urine was on his pad. I told the nurse and she put it back in." LPN "I" then reported, "The opening of his penis is elongated. It's sliced from the Foley catheter because it wasn't strapped down." On 10/10/14 at 9:00 a.m., Resident #502 was observed in his room laying in bed. LPN "J" assisted with the observation which revealed a loosely, ill-fitting catheter leg strap to Resident #502's left leg and visible bleeding from the opening of Resident #502's penis (Foley insertion site). The Foley catheter tubing was noted to be underneath Resident #502's left leg and the tubing was taught and pulling at Resident #502's penis. LPN "J" reported, "It shouldn't be under his leg." RN "G" (Registered Nurse) then entered the room and requested to assess Resident #502's penis and the status of his bleeding and reported, "I see the bleeding and that the opening is elongated. I'm going to call the doctor." On 10/10/14 at 9:15 a.m., during a subsequent interview, RN "G" reported, "I didn't see a tear when he (Resident #502) was admitted . there is nothing in his wound care notes and no charting indicating he had any previous tears or damage to the meatal opening. I documented on the 24 hour report to monitor for any further bleeding but I didn't put it on the CNA care guide." When asked who was ultimately responsible for ensuring the Foley catheter tubing was secured, RN "G" reported, "The CNA's but the nurses are to monitor as well." RN "G" placed a telephone call to Resident #502's physician then reported, "The physician said the tear and bleeding is possibly due to the Foley catheter tugging and he instructed me to monitor for any further bleeding." On 10/10/14 at 10:40 a.m., during an interview, The director of Nursing (DON) was queried and reported, "You always have to anchor the catheter to the leg with a strap. It it pulls out, the resident can have an injury or a tear to the penis. I took a look at it when I heard about the bleeding and the opening is much wider than normal. Much wider than a normal penis opening should be. I attribute that to the pulling at the penis and with the leg strap not being there, it could make the opening wider." The facility administrative staff was unable to explain why Resident #502's Foley catheter tubing had not been properly secured in order to prevent pulling and tugging at the meatal opening (Foley insertion site) resulting in tearing and bleeding to the meatus. A review of the facility's "Catheter Care" policy, dated 2/13 documented: "Position the resident so that the catheter and tubing are free from kinks or pulling." "Use leg strap to anchor the catheter tubing to resident's thigh to prevent pulling of catheter when repositioning which can cause tissue injury and discomfort to resident."
