The facility failed to afford all residents the right to formulate an Advance Directive. The facility Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) were informed of the Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE] at approximately 5:50 PM. The facility provided an Allegation of Compliance (AOC) that was acceptable on [DATE] at approximately 5:45 PM, and the Immediate Jeopardy at F-155 was removed and lowered in scope and severity to a D. The AOC included the following: 1. The Advanced Directives Policy and the CPR Policy have been reviewed by the Medical Director and the DON. No changes have been made at this time. 2. All residents in the Nursing and Rehabilitation Unit have been interviewed and have had their code status confirmed. If residents were unable to confirm their code status, due to dementia, altered mental status, etc., or have been deemed unable to make medical decisions by the physician, their responsible parties (person with legal rights to make decisions for the resident), have been completed as of [DATE] and code statuses on all residents are current. 3. A complete chart audit has been conducted to confirm that the resident's wishes correspond with what is written on the chart. For example, if a resident states that he/she wishes to have a DNR order, it has been confirmed that there is an MD order and a signed DNR form on the chart. Any discrepancies have been corrected. An audit trail is attached to show the changes to any discrepancies. 4. All nurses and CNAs present on the unit from the time of the allegation until the current time on all shifts have been instructed by formal in-services on the Advanced Directive and CPR policies to understand that CPR is to be started on any resident who does not have an order for [REDACTED].

The Administrator or Director of Nursing or Assistant Director of Nursing will check each shift to ensure that all staff scheduled to work have received the in-service until all facility staff have received the in-service. The in-service may be conducted by the Administrator, DON, ADON, or Staff Development nurse. This in-service will be provided to all new CNA and licensed nurse hires at Wildewood Downs. Wildewood Downs does not use any agency staff. 8. This practice will be prevented in the future by having all admissions checked for code status and the appropriate information (DNR order and DNR sheet if ordered) at the time of admission. This will be done by the DON or the ADON, or the Staff Development nurse in their absence. If the appropriate information is not present, the DON, ADON, or Administrator will get the appropriate orders or information on the chart, and notify the physician and the nurse assigned to the new resident admission that the information was not obtained per policy. These findings will be presented at the monthly QA meeting. 9. All department heads attend a daily morning meeting to go over any issues in the facility at 9 am. After this meeting, managers, including the Administrator, DON, ADON, MDS Coordinator, Admissions Nurse, Social Services Director, and Therapy Program Director attend an additional stand up nursing meeting daily to go over the 24 hour report.

On the day of the complaint inspection, based on record reviews and interviews, the facility failed to ensure that residents remained as free of accident hazards as possible, received assistance devices in an effort to prevent accidents, and were thoroughly assessed after a fall for 3 of 5 residents reviewed for falls (Residents #1, #3, and #5). Resident's #3 and #5 did not received adequate assessment and interventions to promote safety and prevent accidents, resulting in a fall with injury for Resident #3. Resident #1 was not thoroughly assessed after her fall on 10/26/11. The findings included: Resident #3 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the Admission Evaluation and Interim Care Plan showed the resident's last fall was four months prior to admission. He scored 16 on the fall risk assessment, indicating he was at risk for falls. Review of the Nurse's Notes revealed the resident was admitted to the Long Term Care (LTC) wing of the facility, which was not certified for Medicare and Medicaid. While on the LTC, the resident became weak on 1/21/12, at 2:50 AM, while being assisted to the commode. The nurse assisted him to her leg to prevent a fall. On 1/22/12, at 10 AM, the LTC staff was alerted by the resident yelling out. He was found on the floor, face down. No injuries were noted. The resident was transferred to the Rehabilitation unit on 1/25/12. The care plan in place at that time noted a risk for falls with interventions that included: complete fall risk assessment, report any falls to MD, investigate and document cause of all falls, place on facility fall prevention program, monitor and report any injuries from falls, and answer call light promptly. No safety devices were listed on the care plan. The Nurse's Note on 1/30/12 at 11 AM stated a loud noise was heard coming from the resident's room. He was found face down on the floor, unresponsive. 911 was called. The resident began to rouse and stated "I hurt." He complained of pain in his right hip. Blood was noted on the floor and after log rolling the resident, a laceration was noted to his forehead. The resident was taken to the hospital where he stayed until 2/1/12. The resident's plan of care was reviewed by facility staff on 2/1/12. He was noted to have the potential for falls related to history, unsteady gait, and weakness. The interventions included: complete fall risk assessment, non-skid shoes, report any falls to MD, investigate and document cause of all falls, place on facility fall prevention program, monitor and report any injuries from falls, answer call light promptly. The non-skid shoes were the only new intervention added to the care plan in an attempt to keep the resident safe from accidents. A physician's orders [REDACTED]. Further review of the medical record showed the resident continued to have falls: On 2/12/12, at 5:30 PM, the resident stumbled and fell while ambulating to the dining room with his rolling walker. The documentation did not state if the resident was being assisted at the time of his fall. On 2/19/12, at 7:15 PM, a noise was heard coming from the resident's room. He was found lying on the floor against the wall. He stated he was trying to get out of bed and "just began bouncing around." No injuries were noted. The documentation did not state if the safety alarm was in use at the time of the fall. On 2/22/12, at 7:15 PM, the resident was found lying on the floor of the bathroom with half of his body in the shower stall. Swelling was noted to back of the head on the right side. The resident complained of pain in the area. There was slight bruising. He sustained abrasions on the right shin and left knee. The documentation did not show that the safety alarm was in use at the time of the fall. Review of the care plan on the day of the complaint inspection showed it was not updated after the falls and no new interventions were added, including the safety alarm. Review of the medical record failed to show evidence that the safety alarm was instituted as ordered. The resident was observed on 3/20/12, at 1:45 PM. He was in his wheelchair in his room. There was no safety alarm in view. Resident #1 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The resident was [AGE] years old. She received anticoagulant therapy with Coumadin. Review of the hospital Discharge Summary for the 10/18-25/11 hospitalization revealed the resident had a history of [REDACTED]. She presented to the hospital three times in the last few weeks. The resident underwent [REDACTED]. Review of the Admission Evaluation and Interim Care Plan dated 10/25/11 showed the resident had no history of falls. She scored a 16 for fall risk (a score of 10 or higher indicated at risk status). Review of the Nurse's Notes revealed the resident was alert and oriented. Her body audit showed bruises to both arms from venipunctures. The resident required the use of oxygen via nasal cannula to maintain an acceptable oxygen saturation level. On 10/26/11, at 11:20 PM, the resident was found on the floor in front of the bathroom of a neighboring room. She was assisted to stand and while being ambulated back to her room, her legs gave way and she was placed in a wheelchair. The resident sustained [REDACTED]. The documentation did not show evidence of a head injury but it also did not show that she was checked for a head injury. A check of the resident's oxygen saturation showed a reading of 85%, and her nasal oxygen was restarted with slow improvement in the oxygen saturation readings. Neurological checks were initiated and showed normal results. Both the physician and the resident's family were notified of the fall. Subsequent entries in the Nurse's Notes, on 10/28/11 and 10/29/11 showed an x-ray was done on 10/28/11 for complaints of arm pain but there was no other evidence of any complications from the fall and no other complaints from the resident. The resident went to a scheduled cardiology appointment on 10/31/11 and was admitted to the hospital. She did not return to the facility. Information received by this office from an interested party said the resident sustained [REDACTED]. The hematoma on the back of the resident's head was discovered on 10/28/11 and reported to the nursing staff. Although review of the Nurse's Notes failed to show any signs of a head injury, documentation was noted on the Admission Evaluation and Interim Care Plan of 10/25/11. The body assessment portion of the form showed: "1. small skin tear with bandaid 2. bruises from IV/venipuncture (3) Pacemaker (4) bruise top of head." The last entry, #4, appeared to be in different handwriting from the rest of the form. The Director of Nurses (DON) signed as completing sections A-G, which included the skin assessment, and dated her entries 10/25/11. During an interview on the day of the complaint inspection, the DON was asked if she made entry #4 on the skin assessment. The DON stated she could not independently recall assessing the resident but said entry #4 was not her handwriting. She was unable to say who might have written that documentation. Review of the medical record showed a progress note from the physician on 10/27/11 stating the resident had a fall with no injuries. The resident's neurological checks remained within normal limits. The resident complained of left arm pain and the x-ray on 10/28/11 showed no acute changes. However, review of the ADL (Activities of Daily Living) Assessment Log and the MDS (Minimum Data Set) Focused Assessment Charting did show the resident had a change in condition after her fall. Documentation in the ADL Assessment Log showed the resident was independent in bed mobility and required supervision for transfer and ambulation on 10/26 and 10/27/11. On 10/28/11, the documentation showed she required extensive assistance of one person for bed mobility and transfer. The resident needed limited assistance for ambulation in the room and she no longer ambulated in the corridor. Review of the MDS Focused Assessment Charting showed a change in the resident's short term memory, as on 10/28/11 she changed from having no short term memory problem (except for the night shift on 10/26 and 10/27/11), to consistently showing a short term memory problem on all shifts 10/28 and afterward. The documentation also showed the resident exhibited signs of delirium on 10/28/11 for all shifts. There was no evidence in the medical record to show that the facility recognized the changes in the resident's condition and provided continued assessment to determine if the changes resulted from the resident's fall, the injury to her arm, or from her cardiac condition. The resident' head injury was inappropriately documented and there was no follow-up assessment, physician notification, or interventions related to the head injury. Review of the Interdisciplinary Care Plan, reviewed by staff on 10/25/11, showed the resident was at risk for falls. Interventions included complete fall risk assessment, low bed, report any falls to MD, investigate and document cause of all falls, place on facility fall preventions program, monitor and report any injuries from falls, and answer call light promptly. It did not show an update because of the fall on 10/26/11 and did not show the added safety measure of the bed alarm. Resident #5 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The resident stayed at the facility until 3/16/12. While at the facility, she had three falls: On 2/23/12, at 7:25 PM, the resident's husband was assisting her from the bed to the wheelchair and she fell .

She reported to the staff that she did not know how she fell . No new injuries were noted. Old bruises were seen on her left hip and left upper arm from the previous fall. On 3/13/12, at 10:50 AM, the nurse was called to the resident's bathroom by a nursing assistant. The resident was lying on her back on the floor in front of the toilet. She denied hitting her head and no injuries were noted. A new physician's orders [REDACTED]. The Nurse's Note on 3/13/12 stated the resident's care plan was updated to show the new order. Review of the medical record showed one entry in the Nurse's Notes documenting the use of the alarm. On 3/15/12, at 11:30 PM, the resident was restless and trying to get out of bed and the bed alarms was sounding. There was no other documentation to show that the safety alarm was in use at all times. Review of the care plan, with a care conference meeting date of 2/21/12 showed a problem of "At risk for falls d/t (due to) history of falls with injury prior to admission" that was identified on 2/13/12. The approaches included: encourage the resident to call for assistance; cue and help the resident focus to call staff to retrieve items that were out of reach; review any falls that occur for needed change in care plan; inform therapy of any falls for assessment; ensure bed in lowest position; ensure resident had proper non-skid footwear, place frequently used item and call bell in reach; and non-weight bearing on the right leg. Review of the care plan on the day of the complaint inspection revealed there were no updates showing the resident's falls and there were no additional interventions added to the care plan, including the need for a safety alarm at all times.

Amended May 14, 2012 On the day of the complaint inspection, based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure that medical records of residents were accurately documented to ensure appropriate care and services for 1 of 2 residents reviewed because of falls with injuries (Resident #1). Review of the medical record revealed an unknown staff member entered information about a head injury under another staff member's admission assessment. The findings included: Resident #1 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The resident was [AGE] years old. She received anticoagulant therapy with [MEDICATION NAME]. Review of the Nurse's Notes revealed the resident was alert and oriented. On 10/26/11, at 11:20 PM, the resident was found on the floor in front of the bathroom of a neighboring room. She was assisted to stand and while being ambulated back to her room, her legs gave way and she was placed in a wheelchair. The resident sustained [REDACTED]. The documentation did not show evidence of a head injury but it also did not show that she was checked for a head injury. Neurological checks were started after the fall and showed results within normal limits. Information received by this office from an interested party said the resident did sustain a head injury from her fall, discovered on 10/28/11, which resulted in a decline in condition. According to the interested party, the discovery of the hematoma to the back of the resident's head was reported to facility staff. Although review of the Nurse's Notes failed to show any signs of a head injury, documentation was noted on the Admission Evaluation and Interim Care Plan of 10/25/11. The body assessment portion of the form showed: "1. small skin tear with bandaid; 2. bruises from IV/venipuncture; (3) Pacemaker; (4) bruise top of head." The last entry, #4, appeared to be in different handwriting from the rest of the form. The Director of Nurses (DON) signed the form as completing sections A-G, which included the skin assessment, and dated her entries 10/25/11. When asked if she made entry #4 on the skin assessment, the DON stated she could not independently recall assessing the resident but said entry #4 was not her handwriting. She was unable to say who might have written that documentation. Review of the medical record showed a progress note from the physician on 10/27/11 stating the resident had a fall with no injuries. The resident's neurological checks continued to be within normal limits. The resident had a large bruise and complained of left arm pain. An x-ray on 10/28/11 showed no acute changes. However, review of the ADL (Activities of Daily Living) Assessment Log and the MDS (Minimum Data Set) Focused Assessment Charting did show the resident had a change in condition after her fall. Documentation in the ADL Assessment Log showed the resident was independent in bed mobility and required supervision for transfer and ambulation on 10/26 and 10/27/11. On 10/28/11, the documentation showed she required extensive assistance of one person for bed mobility and transfer. The resident needed limited assistance for ambulation in the room and she no longer ambulated in the corridor. Review of the MDS Focused Assessment Charting showed a change in the resident's short term memory, on 10/28/11 she changed from having no short term memory problem (except for the night shift on 10/26 and 10/27/11), to consistently showing a short term memory problem on 10/28 and the days following. The documentation also showed the resident exhibited signs of [MEDICAL CONDITION] on 10/28/11 for all shifts. Because the resident's head injury was documented inappropriately, the resident did not received the care and services required to thoroughly assess and monitor her condition.
