The resident was upset because he/she wanted to wear an incontinent brief, but he/she did not want to tell anyone because he/she was afraid of retaliation from CNA A;-CNA C said it appeared as though the night shift staff did not provide incontinent care to the resident all night and he/she told the nurse about the lack of care provided by CNA A. During an interview on 11/29/25, at 3:55 P.M., CNA D said the following:-There were some issues with night shift staff, specifically CNA A, not wanting or allowing the resident to sleep with an incontinent brief;-CNA A told the resident that it was better for him/her to sleep without anything covering his/her bottom, but the resident wanted to sleep in a brief;-The resident told CNA D that sleeping without a brief made him/her feel like he/she did not matter, like staff did not care, and it made him/her feel bad. During interviews on 11/29/25, at 3:45 P.M. and 5:25 P.M., the resident said the following:-He/she wanted to wear a brief to bed but CNA A told him/her it was better to not wear anything to bed;-The resident did not want to cause trouble, but he/she hated incontinence and many times the aides at night either did not change him/her often or sometimes they did not come in at all;-The resident sighed and said he/she guessed that CNA A let him/her decide if he/she wore a brief or not but really CNA A would just keep at him/her until the resident relented and because the resident just wanted to get along with everyone, he/she did not argue.-The resident said no other staff really had an issue with cleaning him/her, only CNA A. During an interview on 11/29/25, at 5:27 P.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) E said if staff heard another staff member be disrespectful or rude to a resident, they should report it to the charge nurse or Director of Nursing (DON). He/she had not directly heard CNA A be disrespectful to any residents but heard stories from other CNAs like not providing incontinent care as often as he/she should. The LPN thought it was typical shift to shift rivalry. Staff should not tell residents that assisting them hurts their backs. During an interview on 11/29/25, at 5:45 P.M., LPN F said the following:-If he/she heard a staff member be disrespectful to a resident, he/she would stop the interaction, talk to the staff member then let administration know;-He/she had heard CNA A's tone get a little sharp with residents before. And there was a situation with a newer resident where the new resident did not want CNA A in his/her room. The resident would not tell the LPN specifics about what happened, but then a short time later he/she allowed the CNA back into his/her room;-Resident #1 had not said anything to the LPN about CNA A;-It would not be appropriate for any CNA to tell a resident that assisting him/her hurt their back nor would it be appropriate for staff to continue to try to change a resident's mind once they made a decision about something. During an interview on 11/29/25, at 6:00 P.M., CNA A said the following:-Staff should not be disrespectful or treat residents in an undignified manner.-If he/she heard or noted staff treating residents in this manner, he/she would notify the charge nurse or administration.-The CNA said he/she may have said that his/her back hurt, but he/she did not say that the resident caused his/her back pain;-Sometimes the resident did not want to wear incontinent briefs to bed, and sometimes he/she did. During an interview on 11/29/25, at 7:10 P.M., the Administrator said it was not appropriate to tell a resident that the resident caused the staff member to hurt their back and if a resident wanted to wear a brief to bed, staff should not guilt a resident into doing something they did not want to do. Staff should tell administration if a resident told them or if they heard staff being disrespectful to residents. Complaint 2679768

1 findingBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR-process of providing rescue ventilation to maintain circulation of blood) certified staff were scheduled and present in the facility 24 hours a day, seven days a week; failed to develop and implement a policy addressing CPR requirements for the staff; failed to ensure the transporter for the facility had been CPR certified; and failed to maintain documentation of CPR certifications for staff members. The facility had 28 residents with full code status (residents request to have full resuscitation efforts/CPR in the event of respiratory or [MEDICAL CONDITION]). The facility census was 88. 1. Record review on [DATE] at 8:25 A.M., of the facility's file of CPR certifications showed the staff did not have documentation on-site of current CPR certification for any facility staff. The facility provided CPR certifications for three agency certified nurse assistants (Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) O, CNA P, and CNA Q). During an interview on [DATE] at 8:25 A.M., the administrator said the following: -The last CPR class was completed in (MONTH) (YEAR) at the facility; -They planned to have a CPR class at the facility, but none had been scheduled; -The facility's corporate office sent the administrator a tracking report for the nurses' licenses, the certified medication technicians (CMT's), and the certified nurse assistant (CNA's) certificates with their expiration dates; -This tracking report did not include CPR certifications; -No one had been tracking CPR certificates to make sure they were current. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:10 A.M., the front office staff member (receptionist) said the only facility staff member he/she was aware of having a current CPR certificate on file was the van driver who was the only facility van driver. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:50 A.M., the van driver said the following: -She had been the van driver since [DATE]; -She became CPR certified on [DATE]; -She worked Monday through Friday, hours varied depending upon the residents' scheduled appointments, but usually worked from 7:30 A.M. until 4:00 or 5:00 P.M.; -She was in the facility approximately two hours on his/her scheduled work days; -She was the only facility van driver. Record review on [DATE] of the CPR certification for the van driver showed she became certified on [DATE]. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:00 P.M., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) said the following: -She had worked at the facility full time for seven years; -If a resident required a resuscitation attempt, she would check the code status book (a binder containing the list of residents with their advance directives, such as full code or a do not resuscitate status); -She would assess a resident if an emergency situation occurred and get the doctor's orders for treatment; -She received her CPR certification in (YEAR); -CPR certificates were good for two years; -She did not realize her CPR certification expired in (MONTH) of (YEAR); -No one tracked the staff's CPR certification expiration dates; -She was responsible for the daily staff scheduling; -She did not know of the requirement to have a CPR certified staff member in the facility at all times; -The facility did not have a CPR certified staff member scheduled to work after 3:00 P.M. today. Record review of the facility's file of CPR certifications showed the ADON received her certification on [DATE]. The renewal was due in (MONTH) (YEAR). During an interview on [DATE] at 2:20 P.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) G said the following: -If he/she found a resident not breathing or unresponsive, he/she would check the do not resuscitate (DNR) status and start or not start CPR on the resident based on their status; -His/Her CPR certification expired [DATE]. Record review of LPN G's CPR certification showed his/her certification expired in (MONTH) (YEAR). During an interview on [DATE] at 2:45 P.M., CMT M said the following: -If he/she found a resident unresponsive and not breathing, he/she would check the resident's DNR status and call a code if they were a full code status; -Would get the code cart while staff began CPR; -He/She was currently certified in CPR, but did not have proof of the CPR certification. During an interview on [DATE] at 4:55 P.M., the ADON said the following: -She confirmed the facility did not have a CPR policy for the staff; -There were no CPR certified staff scheduled to work on [DATE] from 3:00 P.M. until 7:00 A.M. on [DATE]. During a telephone interview on [DATE] at 5:44 P.M., the facility Medical Director said the following; -He was not aware until yesterday when the Director of Nursing (DON) told him, the facility did not have CPR certified staff in the building at all times; -He was unaware if anyone had been tracking the staff CPR certifications; -He did not know if the facility had a CPR policy; -If a resident suffered an arrest (loss of spontaneous breathing or heart function), he would expect the staff to look at the code status book to determine the resident's resuscitation order; -The staff members should have CPR certifications. During an interview on [DATE] at 5:48 P.M., the DON said the following: -She was not currently CPR certified; -The facility had no CPR policy; -She expected to have CPR certified nurses and CMT's, because they monitor the dining room areas; -The last facility CPR training was in (YEAR); -She thought Registered Nurse (RN) H or the receptionist tracked the CPR certifications. During an interview on [DATE] at 6:02 P.M., the administrator said the following: -The facility did not have a CPR policy; -No one had been tracking, or been assigned to track the staff's CPR certifications status; -The DON had been trying to find a CPR certified staff member to work tonight ([DATE]); -If a resident suffered an arrest, she would expect the staff to follow the resident's code status and to initiate resuscitation if appropriate. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:05 P.M., RN H said he/she did not track CPR certifications. Record review on [DATE] of the facility's daily staffing schedule and CPR certification cards acquired by the facility showed on the night shift on [DATE] and [DATE], no CPR certified staff were scheduled. At the time of the survey, the violation was determined to be at the immediate and serious jeopardy K level. Based on observation, interview, and record review completed during the onsite visit, it was determined the facility had implemented corrective action to address and lower the violation at the time. During the onsite visit the facility began obtaining CPR certifications of staff, began scheduling CPR certification classes, and reviewed the staffing schedule to ensure CPR certified staff were present in the facility on all shifts. A final revisit will be conducted to determine if the facility is in substantial compliance with participation requirements. At the time of exit, the severity of the deficiency was lowered to an E level. This statement does not denote that the facility has complied with State law (Section 198.026.1 RSMo.) requiring that prompt remedial action be taken to address Class I violation(s).
Inspection of May 31, 2016
2 findingsBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to thoroughly investigate allegations of abuse and neglect and failed to ensure the safety of two residents (Resident #1 and #2), when a witnessed physical spanking of a resident by Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) A was reported and when CNA A and Nurse Aide (NA) B failed to report one resident's (Resident #1) unwitnessed fall to the nurse resulting in a delay in assessment of the resident. The facility also failed to report the allegations and findings to the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) as required. The facility was 90 residents. 1.

Record review of Resident #2's face sheet (admission data) showed the facility admitted the resident on 01/27/09, with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Record review of the facility's abuse/neglect investigation showed on 12/18/15, staff completed an investigation that showed the following information: -On 12/18/15, staff reported CNA A was speaking very loudly to a resident in the dining room. A resident was putting peas in a soda can and CNA A jerked the soda can away from the resident and said I told you no. CNA A grabbed both of the resident's wrists really hard and the reporter considered it abuse. -CNA A said he/she walked into the dining room noticed a resident putting food in a soda can. He/She told the resident no and took the soda can away from the resident. The resident was going to hit him/her and CNA A placed his/her hands on the resident's wrists and moved his/her arms down. Staff assessed the resident for bruising and injuries and none were observed. -CNA A had a verbal counseling with the Director of Nursing (DON) over tone of voice and removing self from situation when a resident is agitated. The DON had CNA A re-sign the abuse and neglect policy. Record review of a written statement by CNA A, dated 12/18/15, showed he/she walked into the dining room. A resident was putting food in a soda can. The resident raised his/her hand to hit CNA A. CNA A grabbed the resident's wrist and lowered them. CNA A admitted to getting loud with the resident. CNA A proceeded to remove the can from the resident's hand and the resident did put up a fight. The resident was agitated with him/her. 3. Record review of Resident #2's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), a federally mandated assessment tool completed by facility staff, dated 03/04/16, showed the following information: -Severely cognitively impaired; -Extensive assistance needed for bed mobility, transfers, dressing toilet use, personal hygiene, and bathing; -Limited assistance needed for locomotion on and off unit and eating; -Rejects care one to three times weekly. Record review of the resident's care plan, dated 03/07/16, showed the following information: -Resident had memory impairment which put him/her at risk for alteration in mood, judgement, and behavior; -Staff needed to allow her/him to have control over situations, if possible; -Maintain a calm environment and approach; -Assess for mood/behavior problems. -Resident had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. -Cognitive loss/dementia; -Allow ample time to absorb and respond to information and questions. Record review of the facility's investigation, dated 05/09/16, showed the following information: -An allegation was made regarding CNA A spanking Resident #2. The allegation was reported to the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) by Certified Medication Technician (CMT) E. -The administrator spoke with the CMT who explained what he/she witnessed. He/she observed CNA A putting the resident to bed and stated he/she observed him/her holding the resident's wrists as the resident was combative. CMT E verbalized seeing him/her spank the resident. -The administrator spoke with CNA A regarding the allegations made. CNA A said from where CMT E was standing it may have looked as though he/she spanked the resident. CNA A said the resident's wrists were held to keep him/her from hitting. The CNA was trying to pull his/her pants down at the same time. CNA A was made aware when a resident is combative, stop and approach the resident later and to have another person assisting with cares. -Other residents were interviewed by the ADON, however no statements were attached to the investigation. (These statements were provided by the administrator at a later time.) -The administrator signed the investigation on 05/09/16. -Staff did document completing any interviews with additional staff members. -Staff did not document what steps were put in place to protect the resident during the investigation. -Staff did not document notification of DHSS of the allegation and investigation. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 11:00 A.M., CNA A said the DON instructed CNA A to remove him/herself from the situation and come back later if the resident is agitated, referring to the 05/09/16 incident. On 05/09/16, CNA A was called into the office concerning the allegation of spanking a resident. While assisting Resident #2, CNA A was getting agitated with the combative resident. The resident tried to hit CNA A. He/she asked CMT E for assistant. CNA A went around the bed to the other side. CNA A said he/she was agitated and reached up and pulled the resident's pants down fast. It looked like he/she spanked the resident. CMT E stayed in the room until the resident was completely dressed and placed in bed. CMT E left the room right before the covers were pulled up. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 12:02 P.M., CMT E said approximately two weeks ago CNA A asked him/her to assist with Resident #2. While assisting, CNA A slapped Resident #2's hand. CMT E said this was reported to the DON and the Administrator. One week later while placing Resident #2 in bed, the resident was agitated and tried to bite CNA A. CNA A grabbed the resident's wrists hard enough to make the resident hands discolor. On 05/9/16, CNA A asked CMT E to assist providing care to Resident #2. While removing the resident's clothes the resident became agitated. The resident tried to kick CNA A. CNA A slapped the resident on his/her uncovered bottom. CMT E reported this situation to the ADON. The ADON took CMT E to the Administrator's office. CNA A was called to the office afterwards, visited with the Administrator and came back to the floor. The CMT was not aware of any investigation of the slapped hand. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 8:45 A.M., the ADON said CMT E came to him/her to report what he/she witnessed. CMT E said he/she needed to report what he/she observed, CNA A slapping Resident #2 on his/her uncovered bottom. The resident was agitated and combative and CNA A held the resident arms, because CNA A did not want to be hit by the resident. CNA A, while trying to remove the resident's pants, slapped the resident on his/her uncovered bottom and removed the pants. The ADON said he/she interviewed approximately eight residents and there were complaints about CNA A. The ADON said he/she did not interview any staff members concerning CNA A. The ADON said CNA A was reported to the administrator several times about his/her attitude. He/she feels CNA A has an attitude problem. The ADON was very concerned about CNA A and followed his/her chain of command to report. Residents made complaints about his/her rudeness and roughness and written statements were turned in to the Administrator. During record review and interview on 05/31/16, at approximately 10:00 A.M., Resident #3 confirmed his/her written statement. The written statement said CNA A has changed, he/she is hateful, rough, and upset about being pregnant. I just don't say anything to him/her anymore. During record review and interview on 05/31/16, at approximately 10:10 A.M., Resident #4 confirmed his/her written statement. The written statement said CNA A use to be my favorite, but he/she is not friendly anymore. CNA A can't lift the resident because he/she is pregnant. CNA A got on to the resident and said you know I can't lift you. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 5:55 A.M., CNA E said he/she would report any abuse to the charge nurse, and if needed, follow the chain of command. He/she was aware CNA A acted in a mean manner towards Resident #2. CNA E has observed CNA A being rude and talking down to residents. CNA E said he/she reported this to the DON and Administrator. During an interview on 05/26/16, at 4:30 P.M., NA B said if he/she heard about abuse he/she would observe for him/herself. He/She was aware that CNA A was rough with Resident #2. The NA said he/she never reported CNA A for rudeness or roughness. During an interview on 05/26/16, at 4:30 P.M., CNA I said CNA A told him/her that he/she was turned in by CMT E for rudeness and roughness towards Resident #2. Resident #2 can at times become combative with care and it is all in the approach. CNA I said CNA A slapped the resident trying to protect his/herself. CNA I said he/she reported this to the DON. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 8:00 A.M., the DON said he/she was unaware CNA A had an allegation of spanking a resident. The DON said the Administrator dealt with the situation. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 9:05 A.M., the Administrator said staff had reported CNA A's behavior before. It wasn't until yesterday, he/she realized there were patterns concerning CNA A abuse allegations. No residents voiced concerns about CNA A during the 12/18/15 investigation. The administrator did not know there were two alert and oriented residents that complained about CNA A on the 05/09/16 investigation. The resident interviews were not attached to the investigation report. The Administrator said he/she would have to look for them. CNA A said the resident was combative and he/she held the resident's wrist. He/she said CNA A was re-educated about combative residents to leave the area and come back later and always have two staff members in the room with this resident. The resident had episodes of combative behavior and one staff should not have put him/her to bed. 4. Record review of the Resident #1's face sheet (admission data) showed the facility admitted the resident on 03/30/16, with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Record review of the resident's admission MDS, a federally mandated comprehensive assessment tool completed by staff, dated 04/12/16, showed the following information: -Cognitively intact; -Extensive assistance needed for bed mobility, transfers, walking in room, dressing, eating, and toilet use; -No falls or skin problems; -Anticoagulant therapy (medication used to prevent the blood from clotting. Staff must monitor for bleeding due to resident's potential to bruise and bleed easier). Record review of the resident's care plan, dated 04/18/16, showed the following information: -One person extensive assistant required with transfers and activities of daily living (ADLs - dressing, grooming, bathing, eating, and toileting) related to weakness, and unsteady gait. -Urinary: incontinent; -High risk for falls related to weakness, unsteady gait/balance, use of medications, and history of falling. Record review of the resident's nurse's note dated 05/17/16 at 11:40 P.M., showed the night shift Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) C documented that night shift CNA D reported that Resident #1 had fallen earlier in the evening (about 7:45 P.M.). CNA A reported the fall to CNA D. CNA A told CNA D that the resident slid out of his/her chair to the floor, the resident had no injuries and CNA A had not reported the fall to the charge nurse. LPN C notified the DON and faxed the physician. The LPN assessed the resident and the resident was resting in bed. The resident had no complaints and was fully aware of his/her surroundings. The resident was able to say he/she slid to the floor. His/her blood pressure was 150/80; he/she had no bruising. Staff did not document notifying the resident's family of the fall. Record review of the resident's medical records showed the first nursing assessment performed on the resident by a licensed nurse after the reported time of the fall was on 05/17/16 at 11:45 P.M. (four hours after the reported fall happened). Record review of the facility's investigation, dated 05/18/16, showed LPN C called the DON, at 11:00 P.M., and said CNA D was told by CNA A and NA B in report at shift change that Resident #1 slid out of his/her chair onto the floor. CNA A and NA B looked the resident over and he/she was fine, but failed to report the fall to the nurse. LPN C talked with the agency nurse working on the hall with Resident #1 and confirmed the nurse was unaware the incident occurred. LPN C assisted with the fall procedures with the agency nurse. The DON came in the next day and interviewed CNA D about how the charge nurse became aware of the fall. Both CNA A and NA B made it very clear the charge nurse did not receive a report concerning the fall. CNA A and NA B both admitted the fall occurred and told CNA D without reporting the fall to the nurse. CNA A and NA B both received a written warning for not following the facility's policy. An inservice was planned for all staff on 06/06/16 (20 days after the resident's fall). The investigation did not indicate interviews with other residents, did not show what steps were taken to protect the resident during the investigation and did not indicate staff notified DHSS of the investigation or the findings. Record review of CNA A's written statement, dated 05/18/16, showed the CNA and a NA had a resident fall while they were in his/her room. Neither aide reported the fall to the nurse. The CNA and NA told the on-coming shift nursing assistant that the resident had fallen and they had checked him/her out and he/she was okay. The night shift aide reported the fall to the nurse. During an interview on 05/27/16, beginning at 11:00 A.M., CNA A said he/she and NA B found the resident on the floor at approximately 7:45 P.M. on 5/17/16. They did not witness the fall. He/she had told other facility staff that he/she witnessed the resident slide out of his/her chair. None of the facility staff started baseline vital signs, neurological checks or assessments right after the fall because no licensed nurses knew about the fall. CNA A said he/she asked NA B to help remove the resident from the floor and place him/her in bed. CNA A and NA B did not use a gait belt. CNA A said he/she did not tell the charge nurse. CNA A said he/she knew he/she should not have moved the resident to bed until the charge nurse assessed the resident. CNA A said at the time of the incident three call lights sounded and he/she was about to go on break. CNA A and NA B both entered the resident's room at the same time, but did not see the resident immediately. When they found the resident, he/she was in a seated position upright on the floor getting sick in the trash can. The resident told CNA A he/she slid out of the chair onto the floor. CNA A said the resident reached for his/her trash can and this caused him/her to fall. CNA A said the resident told the two nursing assistants to put him/her to bed. The fall happened before their meal break, approximately 7:45 P.M. During the course of the interview, at 11:20 A.M., the CNA said when he/she and NA B entered the room the resident lay on the floor. The resident was trying to push him/herself up placing most of her/his weight on the right hip Record review of the written statement, dated 05/18/16, showed NA B, with another CNA, had a resident fall in their room and they never reported the incident to the nurse. They told the on-coming shift nursing assistant that the resident fell , they checked him/her out (no bruising or skin tears) and he/she was okay. They never told the charge nurse. The night shift nursing assistant reported the incident to the nurse. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 12:50 P.M., NA B said he/she was new to the facility and on 5/17/16 CNA A trained him/her. NA B did not see the resident fall. The resident lay face-up along the side of the bed with his/her head toward the head of the bed. NA B followed CNA A that night and CNA A asked NA B to help put the resident to bed. NA B said he/she knew the nursing assistants should not move the resident after a fall until the nurse completed an assessment. Neither the CNA nor the NA used a gait belt when they assisted the resident back to bed. NA B asked CNA A if they should notify the nurse; CNA A said no. NA B did not say why he/she moved the resident. Neither CNA A nor NA B started getting baseline vital signs for the resident after the fall. NA B said the facility provided one-on-one training on 05/26/16, nine days after the fall. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 5:55 A.M., LPN C said CNA A and NA B found Resident #1 on the floor and did not report it. The CNA and NA moved the resident from the floor before a nursing assessment. The nurse should have assessed the resident before the move. LPN C was working on a different hall when a CNA approached the LPN and said Resident #1 slid out of his/her chair. CNA A and NA B failed to report the fall to the charge nurse. LPN C assisted with the assessments and paperwork. LPN C said he/she reported the incident to the DON. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 6:00 A.M., CNA D said during shift change report, on 5/17/16 at 11:00 P.M., CNA A told CNA D that he/she needed to keep an eye on Resident #1 because he/she fell and CNA A did not tell the nurse. CNA A told CNA D he/she assessed the resident (no bruises or skin tears) and transferred him/her to bed. NA B said the resident was on the floor face down. Record review of the resident's nurses' notes, dated 05/19/16, showed the following: -At 10:30 A.M., staff observed bruising on the resident's left upper back and shoulder area. The resident complained of stiffness during range of motion. -At 5:25 P.M., the resident's family member reported to the charge nurse the resident had difficulty speaking. He/she had trouble getting the right words out. He/she could not count to ten. Neurological checks were intact, grips were equal, and eyes were reacting to light. The resident could stick his/her tongue out and smile. The resident's speech seemed slower than normal along with his/her movement (signs of a possible head injury). -At 5:30 P.M., the off going shift said the resident was slow to respond and find words to express thoughts. Staff notified the nurse practitioner and received orders to transfer the resident to the hospital for evaluation. -At 06:00 P.M., the resident was transferred to the hospital by paramedics. Record review of the resident's hospital History and Physical, dated 05/19/16, showed the resident's chief complaint was trauma after fall; subdural hematoma. The resident fell two days ago, but was not brought in for evaluation at that time. The resident received Eliquis (blood thinner). The resident started having difficulty speaking and the facility sent him/her to the emergency room (ER). ER staff reported the resident had a [MEDICAL CONDITION] while in the ER. A cat scan (CT) done showed findings suggestive of a subdural hematoma for which trauma surgery was consulted. The resident was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with orders to hold blood thinners, hold blood-clotting [MEDICATION NAME] and obtain a consultation from neurosurgery. Record review of the neurosurgeon's progress note, dated 05/20/16, showed the resident had a fall on 05/17/16, from a standing height. CT results showed a left frontal subdural hematoma ([MEDICAL CONDITION] in which a buildup of blood occurs) which measured one centimeter in thickness. The resident's neurological system was intact with a continued headache and continued to be alert to person and place with confusion. During an interview on 06/01/16, at 7:45 A.M., the resident's physician said he assessed the resident after the resident returned from the hospital. The resident still had a hematoma to the right side of his/her head. The resident had to hit his/her head hard to cause a subdural hematoma. The physician would expect staff to follow policy and have a nurse assess the resident before moving the resident. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 8:45 A.M., the ADON said staff did not see Resident #1 fall. The two nursing assistants moved the resident off the floor and placed him/her in bed without telling the nurse. Staff should have started neurological checks and vital signs automatically. The resident had to hit his/her head really hard to cause a subdural hematoma. Even if CNA A told NA B not to do vital signs, there was no reasons for him/her to follow the CNA's instructions. The facility did not have in-service training's planned concerning the fall; they will be in the works. The facility trained all staff members not to move a resident after a fall until a nurse completed assessments. During an interview on 05/27/16 at 8:00 A.M., the DON said that on 05/17/16, LPN C told her Resident #1 slid to the floor. DON said staff members were assisting the resident and he/she slid to the floor. The DON spoke to both CNA A and NA B concerning policy. Both failed to report to the charge nurse. Both CNA A and NA B said they were in the resident's room when this happened. CNA A and NA B told the night CNA the resident slid to the floor. The resident fell sometime around 8:00 P.M. The DON expected staff not to move a resident after a fall or sliding to the floor before the nurse made an assessment. The DON interviewed CNA A, NA B, LPN C and CNA D. The DON said he/she did not believe the resident slid to the floor causing that severe of a head injury (subdural hematoma). The DON said all staff members were trained not to move a resident from the floor after a fall until the nurse assessed and to obtain baseline vital signs after a fall. The DON did not say why a further investigation was not completed after the resident went to the hospital. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 9:05 A.M., the Administrator said the facility trained all CNAs not to move a resident from the floor after a fall. All CNAs needed to report to the charge nurse that a resident had fallen or slid from his/her chair. The nurse needed to assess the resident and obtain neurological assessments. The Administrator declined to make a statement if sliding from a chair would cause a severe head injury, subdural hematoma. The DON took care of this situation and made written warning on both staff members. Complaint #MO 4967 and #MO 5123 Note: At the time of the abbreviated survey, the violation was determined to be at the immediate and serious jeopardy level J. Based on observation, interview and record review completed during the onsite visit, it was determined the facility had implemented corrective action to address and lower the violation at the time. During the on-site visit, the facility developed a plan of correction which included immediate in-servicing of staff on the facility's updated abuse and neglect policy, which included time frames for reporting and investigation of abuse allegations and instructed staff on the investigation process. The facility staff were instructed that any staff member an allegation of abuse was received on were to be removed from the facility during the investigation process. A final revisit will be conducted to determine if the facility is in substantial compliance with participation requirements. On 05/27/2016, the severity of the deficiency was lowered to the D level. This statement does not denote that the facility has complied with State law (Section 198.026.1 RSMo.) requiring that prompt remedial action be taken to address Class I violation(s).
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to protect one resident (Resident #1) from neglect, when Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) A and Nurse Aide (NA) B (who were responsible for the resident's direct care) did not report the resident fell for at least three hours and 15 minutes, resulting in a delay in assessment of the resident. The CNA and NA moved the resident back to bed prior to clinical assessments (including neuro checks and a baseline blood pressure reading) of the resident for injuries. The resident was later sent to the the hospital and diagnosed with [REDACTED]. The facility census was 90 residents. Record review of the facility's Abuse and Neglect Policy and Procedure, not dated, showed the following information: -It is the policy of the facility that all residents be free from verbal, sexual, physical, and mental abuse, corporal punishment, and involuntary seclusion. -Residents will not be subjected to abuse by anyone, including, but not limited to, facility staff, other residents, consultants or volunteers, staff or other agencies serving the resident, family members or legal guardians, friends or other individuals. -It is the policy of the facility that any known or suspected abuse or neglect will be reported immediately to the administrator, assistant administrator or the Director of Nursing without fear of reprisal from any party. -Remove resident immediately to provide protective oversight. -Reports may be made in person, by phone or in written form. -All reports will be investigated within 48 hours of the report being made. -If the reporter makes their identity known, they may receive feedback on the outcome of the investigation if the administrator, assistant administrator or the Director of Nursing feels that it is appropriate. -A log of reports and investigations will be kept by the administrator or assistant administrator. - The policy listed the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) Abuse Hot-line number, but did not give direction to call. -The policy did not define neglect. -The policy did not give specifics regarding the steps staff were to follow when completing an investigation. - The policy did not have specific time frames for reporting all allegations of abuse, neglect, misappropriation or injury of unknown origin to DHSS. - The policy did not instruct staff to report all allegations of mistreatment, neglect, abuse and misappropriation of resident property to DHSS within 24 hours, and did not instruct staff to provide DHSS their completed investigation within five days. Record review of the facility's Fall Management Protocol, dated 11/17/09, showed the following information: -The goal is to address the needs of the resident who has fallen and for the highest quality of life possible for the resident. -If a fall occurs staff will do the following: -The physician and family will be notified; -Staff will implement any new orders and interventions in a timely manner; -The charge nurse will alert the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON); -The charge nurse will document the fall in the nurses notes and document any interventions; -Nursing staff will observe the resident for safety by licensed nursing staff including pain assessment, monitoring of blood pressure, and vital signs for 72 hours. 1. Record review of Resident #1's face sheet (admission data) showed the facility admitted the resident on 03/30/16, with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Record review of the resident's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS), a federally mandated comprehensive assessment tool completed by facility staff, dated 04/12/16, showed the following information: -Cognitively intact; -Extensive assistance needed for bed mobility, transfers, walking in room, dressing, eating, and toilet use; -No falls or skin problems; -Anticoagulant therapy (medication used to prevent the blood from clotting. Staff must monitor for bleeding due to resident's potential to bruise and bleed easier). Record review of the resident's care plan, dated 04/18/16, showed the following information: -One person extensive assistance required with transfers and activities of daily living (ADLs - dressing, grooming, bathing, eating, and toileting) related to weakness and unsteady gait. -Urinary: incontinent; -High risk for falls related to weakness, unsteady gait/balance, use of medications, and history of falling. Record review of the resident's nurse's note dated 05/17/16, at 11:40 P.M., showed the night shift Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) C documented night shift CNA D reported Resident #1 had fallen earlier in the evening (about 7:45 P.M.). CNA A reported the fall to CNA D. CNA A told CNA D that the resident slid out of his/her chair to the floor, the resident had no injuries and CNA A had not reported the fall to the charge nurse. LPN C notified the Director of Nursing (DON) and faxed the physician. The LPN assessed the resident and the resident was resting in bed. The resident had no complaints and was fully aware of his/her surroundings. The resident was able to say he/she slid to the floor. His/her blood pressure was 150/80; he/she had no bruising. Staff did not document notifying the resident's family of the fall. Record review of the resident's medical records showed the first nursing assessment performed on the resident by a licensed nurse after the reported time of the fall was on 05/17/16, at 11:45 P.M. (four hours after the reported fall happened). Record review of the facility's investigation, dated 05/18/16, showed LPN C called the DON, at 11:00 P.M., and said CNA D was told by CNA A and NA B, in a report at the change of shift, that Resident #1 slid out of his/her chair onto the floor. CNA A and NA B looked the resident over and he/she was fine, but failed to report the fall to the nurse. LPN C talked with the agency nurse working on the hall with Resident #1 and confirmed the nurse was unaware the incident occurred. LPN C assisted with the fall procedures with the agency nurse. The DON came in the next day and interviewed CNA D about how the charge nurse became aware of the fall. Both CNA A and NA B made it very clear the charge nurse did not receive a report concerning the fall. CNA A and NA B both admitted the fall occurred and told CNA D without reporting the fall to the nurse. CNA A and NA B both received a written warning for not following the facility's policy. An in-service was planned for all staff on 06/06/16 (20 days after the resident's fall). Record review of CNA A's written statement, dated 05/18/16, showed the CNA and a NA had a resident fall while they were in his/her room. Neither aide reported the fall to the nurse. The CNA and NA told the on-coming shift nursing assistant that the resident had fallen and they had checked him/her out and he/she was okay. The night shift aide reported the fall to the nurse. During an interview on 05/27/16 at 11:00 A.M., CNA A said he/she and NA B found the resident on the floor at approximately 7:45 P.M. on 5/17/16. They did not witness the fall. He/she had told other facility staff that he/she witnessed the resident slide out of his/her chair. None of the facility staff started baseline vital signs, neurological checks or assessments right after the fall, because no licensed nurses knew about the fall. CNA A said he/she asked NA B to help remove the resident from the floor and place him/her in bed. CNA A and NA B did not use a gait belt. CNA A said he/she did not tell the charge nurse. CNA A said he/she knew he/she should not have moved the resident to bed until the charge nurse assessed the resident. CNA A said at the time of the incident, three call lights sounded and he/she was about to go on break. CNA A and NA B both entered the resident's room at the same time, but did not see the resident immediately. When they found the resident, he/she was in a seated position upright on the floor getting sick in the trash can. The resident told CNA A he/she slid out of the chair onto the floor. CNA A said the resident reached for his/her trash can and this caused him/her to fall. CNA A said the resident told the two nursing assistants to put him/her to bed. The fall happened before their meal break, approximately 7:45 P.M During the course of the interview, at 11:20 A.M., the CNA said when he/she and NA B entered the room the resident lay on the floor. The resident was trying to push him/herself up placing most of his/her weight on the right hip. Record review of the written statement, dated 05/18/16, showed NA B, with a CNA, had a resident fall in their room and they never reported the incident to the nurse. They told the on-coming shift nursing assistant that the resident fell , they checked him/her out and he/she was okay. They never told the charge nurse. The night shift nursing assistant reported the incident to the nurse. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 12:50 P.M., NA B said he/she was new to the facility and on 5/17/16, CNA A trained him/her. NA B did not see the resident fall. The resident lay face-up along the side of the bed with his/her head toward the head of the bed. NA B followed CNA A that night and CNA A asked NA B to help put the resident to bed. NA B said he/she knew the nursing assistants should not move the resident after a fall until the nurse completed an assessment. Neither the CNA nor the NA used a gait belt when they assisted the resident back to bed. NA B asked CNA A if they should notify the nurse; CNA A said no. NA B did not say why he/she moved the resident. Neither CNA A nor NA B started getting baseline vital signs for the resident after the fall. NA B said the facility provided one-on-one training on 05/26/16 (nine days after the fall). During an interview on 05/27/16, at 05:55 A.M., LPN C said CNA A and NA B found Resident #1 on the floor and did not report it. The CNA and NA moved the resident from the floor before a nursing assessment. The nurse should have assessed the resident before the move. LPN C was working on a different hall when a CNA approached the LPN and said Resident #1 slid out of his/her chair. CNA A and NA B failed to report the fall to the charge nurse. LPN C assisted with the assessments and paperwork. LPN C said he/she reported the incident to the DON. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 6:00 A.M., CNA D said during shift change report, on 5/17/16 at 11:00 P.M., CNA A told CNA D that he/she needed to keep an eye on Resident #1, because he/she fell and CNA A did not tell the nurse. CNA A told CNA D he/she assessed the resident and transferred him/her to bed. NA B said the resident was on the floor face down. Record review of the resident's nurses' notes, dated 05/19/16, showed the following: -At 10:30 A.M., staff observed bruising on the resident's left upper back and shoulder area. The resident complained of stiffness during range of motion. -At 5:25 P.M., the resident's family member reported to the charge nurse the resident had difficulty speaking. He/she had trouble getting the right words out. He/she could not count to ten. Neurological checks were intact, grips were equal, and eyes were reacting to light. The resident could stick his/her tongue out and smile. The resident's speech seemed slower than normal along with his/her movement (signs of a possible head injury). -At 5:30 P.M., the off going shift said the resident was slow to respond and find words to express thoughts. Staff notified the nurse practitioner and received orders to transfer the resident to the hospital for evaluation. -At 06:00 P.M., the resident transferred to the hospital by paramedics. Record review of the resident's hospital History and Physical, dated 05/19/16, showed the resident's chief complaint was trauma after fall; subdural hematoma. The resident fell two days ago, but was not brought in for evaluation at that time. The resident received Eliquis (blood thinner). The resident started having difficulty speaking and the facility sent him/her to the emergency room (ER). ER staff reported the resident had a [MEDICAL CONDITION] while in the ER. Cat Scan (CT) showed findings suggestive of a subdural hematoma for which trauma surgery was consulted. The resident was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with orders to hold blood thinners, hold blood-clotting [MEDICATION NAME], and obtain a consultation from neurosurgery. Record review of the neurosurgeon's progress note, dated 05/20/16, showed the resident had a fall on 05/17/16, from standing height. Head CT results showed a left frontal subdural hematoma measured one centimeter in thickness. The resident's neurological was intact with a continued headache and continued to be alert to person and place with confusion. During an interview on 06/01/16, at 7:45 A.M., the resident's physician said he assessed the resident after the resident returned from the hospital. The resident still had a hematoma to the right side of his/her head. The resident had to hit his/her head hard to cause a subdural hematoma. The physician would expect staff to follow policy and have a nurse assess the resident before moving the resident. During an interview on 05/27/16 at 8:45 A.M., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) said staff did not see Resident #1 fall. The two nursing assistants moved the resident off the floor and placed him/her in bed without telling the nurse. Staff should have started neurological checks and vital signs automatically. The resident had to hit his/her head really hard to cause a subdural hematoma. Even if CNA A told the NA B not to do vital signs, there were no reasons for him/her to follow the instructions. The facility did not have in-service training planned concerning the fall; they will be in the works. The facility trained all staff members not to move a resident after a fall until a nurse completed assessments. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 8:00 A.M., the DON said that on 05/17/16, LPN C told her Resident #1 slid to the floor. The DON said staff members were assisting the resident and he/she slid to the floor. The DON spoke to both CNA A and NA B concerning policy. Both failed to report to the charge nurse. Both CNA A and NA B said they were in the resident's room when this happened. CNA A and NA B told the night CNA the resident slid to the floor. The resident fell sometime around 8:00 P.M The DON expected staff not to move a resident after a fall or sliding to the floor before the nurse made an assessment. The DON interviewed CNA A, NA B, LPN C, and CNA D. The DON said he/she did not believe the resident slid to the floor causing that severe of a head injury (subdural hematoma). The DON said all staff members were trained not to move a resident from the floor after a fall until the nurse assessed and obtained baseline vital signs. The DON did not say why further investigation was not completed after the resident went to the hospital. During an interview on 05/26/16, at 3:57 P.M., Registered Nurse (RN) H, who was also the CNA instructor, said he/she was aware of Resident #1's fall. She instructed all new staff members in the first 16 hour of orientation not to move or reposition a resident after a fall until a nurse could assess. CNA A and NA B both knew not to move the resident and to notify the charge nurse. During an interview on 05/27/16, at 9:05 A.M., the Administrator said the facility trained all CNAs not to move a resident from the floor after a fall. All CNAs needed to report to the charge nurse that a resident had fallen or slid from his/her chair. The nurse needed to assess the resident and obtain neurological assessments. The Administrator declined to make a statement if sliding from a chair would cause a severe head injury, subdural hematoma. The DON took care of the situation and made written warning on both staff members. During an interview on 05/26/16, at 9:00 A.M., the resident's spouse said the facility did not call him/her the night the resident fell . The next day staff notified him/her the resident slid from his/her chair. Approximately two days later the resident started having neurological issues and had to be transferred to the hospital. During an interview on 05/27/16, at approximately 1:00 P.M., the resident's spouse said the resident had a subdural hematoma. Complaint #MO 4967 and #MO 5123 Note: At the time of the abbreviated survey, the violation was determined to be at the immediate and serious jeopardy level J. Based on observation, interview and record review completed during the onsite visit, it was determined the facility had implemented corrective action to address and lower the violation at the time. During the on-site visit, the facility developed a plan of correction which included immediate in-servicing of staff on the facility's updated abuse and neglect policy, instructed staff on the investigation process, and the facility's fall protocol. The facility staff were instructed that any staff member an allegation of abuse was received on were to be removed from the facility during the investigation process. A final revisit will be conducted to determine if the facility is in substantial compliance with participation requirements. On 05/27/2016, the severity of the deficiency was lowered to the D level. This statement does not denote that the facility has complied with State law (Section 198.026.1 RSMo.) requiring that prompt remedial action be taken to address Class I violation(s).
Inspection of May 11, 2012
1 findingBased on observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident having pressure ulcers receives necessary treatment and services to promote healing, prevent infection and prevent new ulcers from developing when staff did not provide the necessary services and interventions such as a pressure relieving cushions, position changes, proper incontinent care and timely treatment to one resident (Resident #6) with a history of pressure ulcers. The deficient practice resulted in the development of multiple Stage II (pressure ulcers in a very short period of time. Fifteen residents were sampled out of a facility census of 87. 1. Record review of Resident #6's Minimum Data Set (MDS), a federally mandated assessment tool required to be completed by facility staff, dated 2/03/12, showed the following: - Non-ambulatory; - Requires assistance of two staff for toilet and transfers; - Always incontinent of bowel and bladder; - Moderately impaired cognitive skills and decision making; - Resident at risk for developing pressure ulcers; - Pressure relieving device in chair; - Turning and repositioning program; -Staff assessed the resident had no pressure ulcers. Record review of the resident's care plan, dated 2/07/12, instructed staff to: -Provide two staff assistance for transfers and toileting; -Turn and reposition resident every two hours; -RoHo (a pressure-relief cushion designed to constantly adjust to a client's body movement) cushion in chair; -Assess resident's skin during bed baths and while providing peri care (the cleansing of skin in the genital area when it becomes wet from urine and or feces); -Provide resident with pericare after each episode of incontinence using warm wet washcloth, body wash, then dry skin well; -Keep pressure points free of pressure; -Resident at risk for potential skin breakdown but has no pressure ulcers. Record review of nursing notes showed an assessment of the following skin condition: -On 2/10/12, staff assessed that the resident had a pressure ulcer of his/her left buttock; -On 2/20/12, staff measured the pressure ulcer as 0.4 cm x 0.4 cm (centimeters); -On 3/9/12, staff measure the pressure ulcer as 0.4 cm x 0.4 cm. Record review of the May 2012 physician order [REDACTED]. -Apply Triad cream (barrier cream) twice daily and as needed; -Place RoHo cushion in wheelchair and check for placement every shift, as needed. Record review of the Wound Nurse Progress Note dated 5/3/12, showed pressure points clear and free of skin breakdown. During interview on 5/8/12 9:55 A.M., Registered Nurse (RN) F said he/she does most of the dressing changes to pressure sores (ulcers). When a nurse assistant discovers a pressure ulcer, they inform the RN of that unit. That RN will assess and communicate with the physician to obtain an order to treat the pressure ulcer. Observation on 05/08/12, at 3:00 P.M., showed nurse aide (NA) M and certified nurse aide (CNA) N transferred the resident to bed from his/her wheelchair. The wheelchair did not contain a pressure-relieving device. The resident's gown was heavily soiled with urine and feces. The feces on his/her buttocks was dry. The dried feces covered over 50% of the resident's left buttock. The remainder of the area of the buttocks was covered with feces of an oatmeal consistency. The resident's right buttock had an red, raw open pressure ulcer (Stage II) the size of a golf ball. The entire area around the anus was bright red. The nurse aides cleaned the feces off the resident, wiping over the raw, open areas. The aides did not apply the Triad cream to the resident's red buttocks, as ordered by the physician. The nurse aides applied an incontinent brief, dressed the resident in clean, dry clothes and transferred him/her to a red motorized wheelchair that contained only an incontinence pad. The RoHo cushion was in the blue electric wheelchair in the resident's room. The resident did not have a roommate. According to Federal guidelines on pressure sore staging, a Stage II pressure sore presents as a partial thickness loss of skin layers that presents as an abrasion, blister, or shallow crater. During an interview on 05/08/12, at 3:15 P.M., NA M and CNA N said they turn residents every two hours and provided peri-care with a change of incontinent brief every two hours and as needed. Observations and interviews on 5/9/12 showed the following: -At 07:50 A.M., the resident sat on an incontinence pad in the red electric wheelchair at the nurses station. Staff had not placed pressure-relief cushion in the red wheelchair. The Ro-Ho cushion was in the blue electric wheelchair in the resident's room; -At 10:43 A.M. NA P said the resident has used the red electric wheelchair for the past month "ever since I started working here" (April 2012) because the blue electric wheelchair was not working properly; -At 10:45 A.M., the resident's blue electric wheelchair remained in the room with the RoHo cushion in the seat. The resident remained in the red electric wheelchair without the RoHo cushion; -At 12:15 P.M., the resident sat in red electric wheelchair in the main dining area awaiting diet. The resident sat on an incontinence pad with no pressure-relieving cushion. -At 2:18 P.M. the resident remained in the red electric wheelchair, at the nurses station, slumped forward, sitting on incontinence pad and no RoHo cushion. Record review on 5/9/12 at 1:20 P.M. of nursing notes showed the nurses had not made any notation of pressure ulcers staff observed on 5/8/12 during peri-care. Observations and interviews on 5/10/12 showed the following: -At 8:15 A.M., the resident sat in the red electric wheelchair at nurses station on a incontinence pad and no RoHo cushion. -At 8:45 A.M., CNA O and NA P transferred the resident to bed to change his/her clothing due to incontinence. The resident's clothes and incontinent brief were saturated with urine. The area around the anus was red. The resident's right buttock had red, raw open pressure ulcers (Stage II) the size of two conjoined golf balls. The left buttock had an open pressure ulcer that was raw and red (Stage II); the size of half dollar. Although the incontinent brief was saturated with urine, the nurse aides did not clean urine off the resident, leaving urine on the open pressure ulcers. CNA O and NA P did not apply the Triad cream to the resident's red perineal area or buttocks. The nurse aides applied an incontinent brief, dressed the resident and transferred the resident to the red electric wheelchair that had no pressure relief cushion. The RoHo cushion sat on the seat of the blue electric wheelchair. - At 9:05 A.M., when asked if staff cleanse his/her private area after incontinence event, the resident said, "Only if I have a bowel movement." During interview on 5/11/2012 8:30 CNA J said when he/she discovers a pressure sore he/she reports the findings to the charge nurse. Record review of nurses notes for 5/8/12, 5/9/12, and 5/10/12 at 10:15 showed nurses had not documented any assessment of the pressure ulcers on the resident's buttocks or made notation they had notified the physician. Record review on 5/10/2012 at 10:15 of the physician order [REDACTED]. During interview on 5/10/12 at 10:45 A.M., LPN D said the RoHo cushion should normally be in the resident's room if not in the chair. It is the responsibility of staff that is taking care of the resident to place it in wheelchair. During interview on 5/10/12 at 3:30 P.M.., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) said staff notified the physician and family of the resident's pressure ulcers and staff were now addressing the ulcers. The RoHo cushion was now in the resident's red wheelchair. Record review of physician orders [REDACTED]. During interview and observation on 5/11/12 at 9:47 A.M., the resident was in bed. RN K cleaned the pressure ulcers with normal saline. RN K said the pressure ulcer on the right buttock was oblong and measured 1 X 4 cm and was a Stage II pressure ulcer. The pressure ulcer on the left buttock was the size of a half dollar and was a Stage II pressure ulcer. The area around the anus was red. The RN applied the [MEDICATION NAME] to the pressure ulcers. Record review of the facility's Policy on Pressure Ulcer Care and Prevention effective 4/15/09 included the following: keep resident dry and clean, toilet as needed Pad bony prominences turn and reposition at least every two Apply barrier cream to incontinent residents; If staff identify an area, they must notify the DON or ADON.
