Staff C said Staff D had completed four weeks of orientation and the admissions process was part of the facility orientation. Staff C said when Staff D was notified of Resident 1's medication errors and questioned as to why the admission process had not been implemented, she said she was unaware it was her responsibility to do so. Staff C said Staff D should have initiated the admission process and if unsure of the process ask another nurse or contact an RCM or the Director of Nursing Services (DNS). During an interview on 05/14/2026 at 9:58 AM, Resident 1's spouse said she was aware that her husband went several hours without his ordered medications.

They know they can call her if they have questions regarding process or need assistance. She said the nurse on duty when Resident 1 was admitted was a new nurse and was probably overwhelmed. The Director of Nursing Services and the RCM's have a process in which they place the admissions orders from the hospital in a queue prior to a resident's actual admit. Once the resident arrived, the nurses were educated to check the queue, verify the orders using two nurses, and then note the orders and order medications from the pharmacy.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a safe transfer during the use of a mechanical (hoyer) lift for 1 of 4 residents (Resident 1) reviewed for accident hazards. Resident 1 experienced harm when the hoyer lift sling detached during a mechanical lift transfer resulting in a fall; the resident sustained injuries to the head, rib fractures, and fractures of the lumbar vertebra (spine) that required hospital evaluation and treatment. Findings included.Record review of the facility policy and procedure revised in July 2017, and reviewed on 12/15/2025, titled, Lifting Machine, Using a Mechanical, documented the following: Steps in the Procedure:12. Attach sling straps to sling bar, according to manufacturer's instructions.a. Ensure the sling is securely attached to the clips and that it is properly balanced.b. Check to make sure the resident's head, neck and back are supported.c. Before resident is lifted, double check the security of the sling attachment.d. Examine all hooks, clips or fasteners.e. Check the stability of the straps.f. Ensure that the sling bar is securely attached and sound. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including osteoarthritis (a degenerative joint disease caused by a breakdown of protective cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduction in mobility), spondylosis of cervical and thoracic regions of the spine (a wearing of the vertebral disks of the neck and mid spine), and Alzheimer's Disease ( a progressive, incurable brain disorder). The Minimum Data Set, an assessment tool, dated 02/28/2026, documented Resident 1's cognitive skills for daily decision making was severely impaired. Record review of Resident 1's care plan, dated 06/04/2025, showed Resident 1 required the assistance of two people during hoyer lift transfers.Record review of an incident report for Resident 1, dated 02/19/2026, showed Resident 1 was being transferred by two Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA's) when a corner of the hoyer sling she was being transferred in became disengaged from the hoyer lift and she fell approximately four feet to the ground landing on her buttocks, bouncing, and then falling backward striking her head on the leg of the hoyer lift. Record review of Resident 1's hospital records, dated 02/19/2026, showed as a result of the fall from the hoyer sling, Resident 1 sustained an abrasion to the back of head, fractures of the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 10th ribs, and fractures of the 1st and 2nd lumbar vertebra ( largest vertebra at the base of the spinal cord which support the rest of the spine and withstand body weight and movement). On 02/24/2026, at 3:00 PM, Staff D, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), said she and another CNA were present during the transfer when Resident 1 fell. They were attempting to get her up for dinner. They had placed the sling beneath her and attached the loops at each corner of the sling top and bottom to the mechanical (Hoyer) lift. They had just raised her off the bed and had gotten her in the space between the bed and wheelchair when the bottom left corner of the sling came loose from the lift and Resident 1 dropped to the floor. Record review of an email from Staff C, Registered Nurse (RN), dated 02/26/2026 at 7:30 PM, showed Staff C said that after research the facility had decided to replace all the hoyer slings and each resident who required transfers using hoyer lifts would have their own slings labeled with their names. On 03/27/2026, at 2:39 PM, Staff F, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), said she was called to Resident 1's room by one of the CNA's present when Resident 1 fell. Staff D said when she entered the room, she first assessed the resident, then when looking at the Hoyer lift, she noted one of the loops of the sling had become disengaged. The CNA's told her when they raised Resident 1 from the bed everything had been fine. It wasn't until they had moved her from the bed toward the wheelchair that the sling had come undone. Staff F said she had assessed the sling after the incident, and it had looked like it was in good condition. Staff F had taken the Hoyer lift and sling used to transfer Resident 1 out of rotation until it could be assessed by the Maintenance Department. On 03/27/2026, at 3:07 PM, Staff E, CNA, said when she and Staff D had transferred Resident 1 on the evening of the fall, the loops of the sling were securely fastened. We had barely lifted her up and off the bed when the bottom left loop became disconnected and she fell. We were really shocked and couldn't figure out what happened. We are all on hyper alert now. Especially with the slings because a lot of the slings are old. We are now examining the slings every time we use one and the Hoyer lifts too. We're looking at the little metal disks now too to make sure they're not loose. We look at this each time now. In an observation and interview on 03/27/2026 at 3:50 PM, Staff D, CNA, demonstrated how she and a co-worker attached the Hoyer sling to the Hoyer lift prior to Resident 1's fall. Staff D said she remembered hearing the sling loops click into place, but she thinks one of the round metal disks might have been a little loose. Staff D said there has been a lot of training since the incident, and all new slings are being ordered. On 03/30/2026, at 1:56 PM, Staff G, Maintenance Director, said the mechanical lifts and slings were inspected monthly. He said there was a new policy in place where each resident will have their own slings. They will be labeled and dated for specific residents and new slings will be ordered each year. Record review of monthly maintenance logs for hoyer slings and lifts for January through December of 2025 and January, February, and March of 2026 showed no concerns noted with slings or lifts. On 03/30/2026, at 4:30 PM, Staff B, Director of Nursing Services, said the facility had expected a citation as Resident 1's fall from the Hoyer sling resulted in injury. While they don't know exactly how this occurred, they were doing everything they can to prevent recurrence and harm to other residents. Reference WAC 388-97-1060[3][g]

Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to provide necessary dental services for identified dental problems for 2 of 3 current sample residents (#s 31 and 43) reviewed for dental services. This failure caused Resident #31 to experience ongoing tooth decay, tooth loss, problems with chewing and closing her jaw, and limited food choices. This failure caused Resident #43 to experience ongoing tooth decay, tooth loss, difficulty with chewing, and to remain nearly edentulous (having no teeth) without intervention for at least one full year after requesting a full set of dentures as recommended by his dentist. Findings include: RESIDENT #31 Resident #31 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The annual Minimum Data Set (MDS), an assessment tool, dated 12/13/12, indicated Resident #31 ambulated independently with use of a walker and required cuing with oral care. The Care Area Assessment, dated 12/14/12, reported the resident had "broken natural teeth with moderate gingivitis." Observation during an interview on 9/17/13 at 1:49 p.m. showed Resident #31 to have a full upper denture in her mouth but no lower denture. All of the resident's lower teeth appeared broken and decayed (black) at the gum line. Resident #31 denied mouth pain but stated it was difficult to chew "because of my teeth" and said that, as a result, she was "real fussy about food," limiting herself to items which were easier to chew. The resident also stated she could not close her mouth all the way, demonstrating for the surveyor that when she closed her jaw as far as she could, her lower gum was approximately one inch from the bottom of her upper denture. When asked, Resident #31 said yes, she would like to see a dentist about getting a lower denture. The resident further stated that no one at the facility had ever offered to assist her with making a dental appointment. Resident #31 stated she thought it was because she didn't have the money to see a dentist or pay for a denture. The Visual Oral Health Screening Form, dated 8/20/12, filled out by the dental hygienist, stated Resident #31 had moderate gingivitis and all lower teeth were broken except for #22. The resident was referred for dental services. The progress note, dated 9/26/12, signed by the Social Services Director (SSD), stated Resident #31 decided not to have her one remaining lower tooth pulled and not to get a lower denture. The Woodland Rehab Oral Health Screening Form, dated 2/11/13, indicated Resident #31 had decay in her one remaining lower tooth: #22. No information regarding condition of oral tissues was provided. The hygienist did not answer the question on the form as to whether additional dental services were recommended. The Woodland Rehab Oral Health Screening Form, dated 8/5/13, stated "All lower teeth broken, decayed at gum line"; tooth #22 was no longer present. The hygienist checked the box indicating that dental services were "not appropriate at this time" but did not explain why dental services were not appropriate for the resident's broken, decayed teeth. Further record review revealed documentation supporting Resident #31's statement that she was "real fussy about food" due to chewing problems, limiting herself to items which were easier to chew. The Quarterly Nutrition Reviews dated 3/11/13, 6/3/13 and 8/28/13, indicated Resident #31 was on a regular *liberalized diet (*not strictly adhering to usual diabetic prescriptions) with small portions and an evening snack. The resident's weight was stable even though her intake at meals was "poor ...25%." The nutrition note, dated 6/3/13, stated Resident #31 hoarded sugar and hot chocolate packets which she ate right out of the package. The nutrition note, dated 8/29/13, stated Resident #31 accepted ice cream, fruit salad, cottage cheese and yogurt. The nursing progress note, dated 9/8/13, stated that Resident #31 continued "to not eat meals" but, in the evening, "wants snacks" such as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, yogurt and sugar packages. On 9/19/13 at 10:51 a.m., during an interview, the DNS stated Resident #31 had not told facility staff she had trouble with chewing and closing her jaw. The DNS said Resident #31 had not seen a dentist since she was admitted to the facility. The DNS was unable to provide documentation to verify that any staff had followed up with Resident #31, to inquire if the resident would like to see a dentist, since the SSD note, dated 9/26/12, stating the resident decided not to get a lower denture. When asked if gingivitis, tooth decay, or broken teeth would indicate the need for an appointment with a dentist, the DNS said yes, but when residents lacked financial resources to pay for dental services, appointments were made only when the resident reported pain or proactively requested an appointment. The facility failed to provide necessary dental services for Resident #31 when, despite identified dental problems, no staff offered to make a dental appointment for the resident. This failure caused Resident #31 to experience ongoing problems including tooth decay, broken teeth, problems with chewing and closing her jaw, and limited food choices. RESIDENT #43 Resident #43 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The annual MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident #43 was alert, oriented and usually able to express his needs. The resident was non-ambulatory and required assistance with all activities of daily living, including oral hygiene. The Care Area Assessment, dated 3/27/13, stated the resident had no natural upper teeth and had 5 remaining lower teeth and some tooth fragments. On 9/17/13 at 1:55 p.m., during an interview, Resident #43 was observed to have no upper teeth and only 5 lower teeth in front with one tooth broken at the gum line. All of the resident's teeth were yellow-brown. The resident denied having mouth pain. Record review revealed documentation indicating that Resident #43 requested a full set of dentures at least one year ago. On 9/5/12, the SSD documented a discussion with Resident #43's legal guardian about the resident's request for dentures. The guardian said "go ahead" with a dental appointment for dentures. The Visual Oral Health Screening Form, dated 9/10/12, indicated Resident #43 had extreme periodontal disease with inflammation, had only anterior lower teeth, all of which were decayed, and had inadequate oral hygiene. Dental services were recommended. The nursing note, dated 9/17/12, indicated that Resident #34 had an appointment with the dentist that day. On 9/24/12, the SSD documented that Resident #43's guardian said the resident did not have financial resources for dentures. On 1/2/13, the SSD documented that Resident #43 recently lost a tooth but the resident said it didn't bother him. The resident stated he knew his guardian was trying to save money for dentures and said, "I can wait." The Visual Oral Health Screening Form, dated 1/7/13, documented Resident #43 had moderate gingivitis, broken and decayed teeth, and inadequate oral hygiene. The space for indicating further dental services was left blank. On 8/2/13, the SSD documented she spoke with Resident #43's guardian and inquired about selling the resident's electric wheelchair to pay for dentures. The guardian stated that money from the sale of the wheelchair should be applied toward funeral expenses. The Quarterly Nutrition Reviews, dated 6/24/13 and 9/12/13, documented Resident #43 was on a regular diet, exceeded his ideal body weight, was taking 90 -100% at meals and had no apparent chewing difficulty. The Medication Administration Record [MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION RECORD DETAILS REDACTED]. The resident also received [MEDICATION NAME], 15 milliliters, "swish and spit," twice daily for gingivitis. On 9/18/13 at 12:10 p.m., during an interview, further observation showed the gum line surrounding Resident #43's few remaining lower teeth was red and inflamed. The resident stated it was "hard to eat with the only teeth I've got" and said he would like to have his remaining lower teeth removed and get a full set of dentures. During the interview, Resident #43 asked Licensed Nurse (LN) A to tell the SSD he would like to set up an appointment to get dentures. (LN A was present for the interview at Resident #43's request.) On 9/19/13 at 10:51 a.m., during an interview, the DNS stated Resident #43 did not have money for dentures and the facility could not afford to pay the cost of his dentures. On 9/20/13 at 10:32 a.m., during an interview, the SSD stated Resident #43's last dental appointment was 9/17/12 at River Dental. The SSD stated River Dental recommended removing Resident #43's remaining teeth and providing a full set of dentures. River Dental indicated Medicaid would not pay for dentures, so the SSD did not pursue a Medicaid benefit to provide dentures for the resident. The facility failed to provide necessary dental services for Resident #43 when, after the resident requested to have dentures made, as recommended by his dentist, facility staff did not pursue a Medicaid benefit to provide dentures for the resident. This failure caused Resident #43 to experience ongoing tooth decay in his few remaining teeth, further tooth loss, difficulty with chewing, and to remain nearly edentulous without intervention for at least one full year after requesting a full set of dentures. .

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain a safe and accident free environment for 3 of 7 current sampled residents (#83, #30, #85) of 7 residents reviewed, to provide adequate supervision for 1 of 1 former resident (#71) with repeated elopements reviewed for accidents and supervision. The facility failed to keep hazardous chemicals locked. Failure to provide adequate supervision and implement safe interventions for residents placed them at risk for safety hazards and the potential for serious injury, harm, or impairment. These failures caused actual harm to Resident #83. Findings include: <Resident #83> Resident #83 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with multiple medically disabling conditions requiring assessment and monitoring. The resident was on multiple medications making him prone to fragile skin conditions and bleeding. A care plan dated 6/28/12, documented the resident's skin was at risk. Care plan approaches included the resident was to wear geri-gloves at all times except when he was bathing. The resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS), an assessment tool, dated 7/07/12, documented the resident had poor safety awareness and was at risk for falls and injury. He required extensive assistance from staff to ambulate, transfer and perform activities of daily living. Staff was to check the resident frequently and anticipate his care needs. On 7/30/12 at 11:25 a.m., Resident #83 said he was trying to get through a doorway a few days before when he hit his hand causing a cut. The resident's left hand was extensively bruised along the outer and top part of the hand. The resident had steri-strips (bandages) covering a skin tear. An incident report dated 7/24/12, documented, "Resident reported to staff he was in the small dining room trying to get to the vending machine and grabbed a table with left hand and received a skin tear, 1x1x1 cm (centimeter). " On 7/24/12 at 12:45 p.m. Resident #83 was observed using his hands to self propel towards the doorway of the small dining room. An activity assistant started to assist the resident out of the room when his left hand scraped the vending machine that partially obstructed the doorway by one foot. Resident #83 was observed trying to maneuver between another resident in a wheelchair (blocking another 6 inches of the doorway) and the vending machine in an attempt to get through the doorway when the accident occurred. The activity assistant along with a nursing assistant immediately took the resident to a nurse. On 8/02/12 the doorway was measured at approximately 4.5 feet. The vending machine was noted to partially block the doorway reducing the doorway exit to 3.5 feet. The width of the resident's wheelchair was approximately 2.5 feet. There appeared to be very little space for the resident to maneuver between the other wheelchair and the vending machine that partially blocked the doorway. On 7/3/12 at 3:40 p.m., the Director of Nursing Service (DNS) stated the vending machine blocked the dining room doorway "somewhat" and thought it should be moved. On 8/02/12 the DNS reported she interviewed the resident the same afternoon as the incident. Resident #83 told the DNS he was trying to get through the partially blocked doorway when he sustained the skin tear. The DNS acknowledged the resident tore his skin on the vending machine. <Resident #71 > The former resident was admitted [DATE] from the hospital with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The former Resident was discharged on [DATE], unavailable for interview and observations. The resident's MDS dated [DATE] identified the resident was severely impaired for daily decision making skills with disorganized thinking and inattention behaviors. The MDS documented the resident had daily wandering behavior without placing the resident at risk for exiting to the outside of the facility. The quarterly MDS dated [DATE], documented the resident exhibited wandering behaviors placing her at significant risk for getting to a potentially dangerous place. The resident's "Alteration in Cognition" care plan with a printed date of 3/22/12 included the resident exhibited behaviors of exit seeking and wandering. The goals were for the resident to accept and acknowledge helpful reminders and direction through the next evaluation date. The care plan did not contain specific goals to address the resident's exit seeking behaviors or wandering. The care plan interventions listed #1 as ability to exit building. Documented below this was "unable to exit or be alone outside." There were no specific interventions addressing the resident's wandering or exit seeking behaviors. A progress note dated 3/25/12 documented Resident #71 exited the facility and was found outside during the day shift and again at 4:00 p.m. A Social Service Director's (SSD) note dated 3/26/12 documented a new intervention of the family agreeing to move the resident's room closer to the nurse station. On 3/27/12, the facility placed the resident on location checks every 15 minutes. The progress note documented, "CP (care plan) revised." A record review showed none of the resident's care plans contained documentation of the 15-minute check intervention or the 2 incidents fo the resident exiting the facility on 3/25/12. Progress notes within a 17-day period, dated 4/18/12 at 8:12 p.m., 4/28/12 at 10:45 p.m. and 5/2/12 at 12:30 p.m., 5/4/12 at 12:30 p.m., documented the resident read and entered the correct egress codes on the keypad for all doors. The resident exited the facility and was found outside 5 times, unsupervised. No specific outside location was documented. After each incident of the resident's ability to exit the building, unsupervised, there were no new documented prevention measures on any of the care plans to mitigate the occurrence of additional incidents of the resident exiting the building, unsupervised. The facility provided documents titled Resident Location starting with 4/21/12. The facility was not able to locate the Resident Location documents for 3/25/12 to 4/20/12. The documentation for the continuous 15-minute location check contained blank spaces during the time the resident was able to exit the building unsupervised on 4/28/12, 5/2/12 and 5/4/12. Record review revealed after the resident eloped a total of 7 times, on 5/17/12, the SSD documented for the first time a discussion with the family regarding the best setting for the resident including placement in another facility. Twenty-eight days after the SSD's documentation of potentially placing the resident at another facility, the facility's investigative report dated 6/14/12 documented the resident climbed out of the window and went uptown. The documentation for the 15-minute location check contained blank spaces during the time the resident exited the facility from her room window, unsupervised. There were no new interventions documented in the resident's record to prevent the resident from climbing out of her room window or addressing her ability to enter the correct egress codes on the keypad for all doors and exit the facility, unsupervised. Physician notes dated 5/16/12 and 6/20/12 documented review for safety/elopement and behavior with interventions in place. The physician did not document new orders or recommendations to alleviate additional incidents of the resident exiting the facility, unsupervised. Between 6/17/12 and 7/8/12, record review revealed the resident continued to enter the correct egress codes on the keypad for all doors and exit the facility, unsupervised 7 more times. A progress note dated, 6/17/12 at 2:30 p.m., documented Resident #71 was found in the front parking lot at the beginning of the next block away from the facility. The documentation for the continuous 15-minute location check contained blank spaces during the time the resident was able to exit the building unsupervised. The resident was found in the front parking lot on 6/27, 6/28, on the patio on 6/30. The Resident Location document for 7/8/12 indicated the resident "made it all the way to the stop sign at the end of the road." The resident walked off of the facility's property reaching the main business road. The resident's record did not reflect prevention interventions to mitigate 15 documented incidences between 3/25/12 to 7/27/12 of the resident exiting the facility to the outside through a window or her ability to enter the correct egress codes on the keypad for all doors and exit the facility, unsupervised The physician's note dated 7/18/12 reviewed the resident's blood pressure, weight, and pain control. There was no documentation addressing the resident's additional 7 incidents of exiting the facility totaling 15 within 4 months. On 8/02/12 at 10:05 p.m., the DNS said the facility did not have a specific elopement care plan for former Resident #71. The DNS said the ongoing elopement issue was only addressed under the "Alteration in Cognition" care plan problem section. There was no other care plan section with specific guidance to staff to address multiple elopements over a 4 month period. Regarding supervision of residents, the Administrator said the facility was not equipped to manage residents who had "elopement behaviors." The Administrator said the facility was unaware of the resident's prior elopement history upon admssion. The Administrator acknowledged the facility retained the resident in the facility for 7 months when the resident had multiple incidents of leaving the facility unattended. The Administrator stated the facility had no clear plan except to discharge the resident as soon as the facility could find placement. <Resident #30> Record review found Resident #30 was admitted to the facility admit 9/23/06 with medically disabling conditions affecting mobility and cognition. Resident #30s Care Area Assessment (CAA) dated 6/4/12 and care plan dated 6/27/12 identified that the resident had limited mobility and uses a tilt wheelchair with footrests for mobility and safety. Observation on 8/1/12 at 10:50 a.m. noted Resident #30 seated in her tilt wheelchair in her room accompanied by a family member. The resident was awake and conversant but confused. Resident #30's family member stated that the tilt wheelchair had many issues, demonstrating these for the surveyor: The left foot rest was difficult to latch and maneuver; both calf rests had gouges in upper outer or inner corners, exposing padding; the left side tire was completely worn down; the right brake did not align with the wheel unless it was manually moved over; the metal plate footrests were worn at the edges. On interview Resident #30 ' s family member stated that the Director of Environmental Services (DES) knew about it and told him "that's a mess" but did nothing. According to the family member, Resident #30 has had the chair for 5 years and the lack of service and repair was a great concern "It is not just matter of comfort issue, it is safety." On interview 8/1/12, the Director of Nursing (DON) and Licensed Nurse (LN) #2 (who is also the rehabilitation coordinator) stated that the chair's condition was not acceptable. The LN stated that she had no idea how it happened that no one noticed that the chair was not in good repair. "No one mentioned it (family, Hospice, nursing assistants, maintenance staff or restorative aides). We replace worn equipment all the time." <Resident #85> Record review found that Resident #85 was admitted to the facility with medically disabling conditions including lung disease requiring continuous Oxygen therapy. Resident #85 ' s care plan dated 7/9/12 stated "resident is on oxygen, report concerns to nurse ie: tubing twisted or removed, oxygen turned off, equipment making noise or not functioning and follow respiratory protocol." Facility policy on Oxygen Therapy states that the nursing department will determine appropriate oxygen equipment to provide the resident with maximum independence and safety. Observation on 7/31/12 at 4:39 p.m. noted Resident #85 seated in his room with Oxygen delivered by a concentrator via nasal prongs. A portable e-cylinder containing Oxygen was observed lying unsecured across the handlebars of the resident's seated walker. On interview, Licensed Nurse (LN) #8 stated that facility staff had tried to talk Resident #85 into other means to carry O2 but the resident was set in his ways. The LN addressed Resident #85 " You are set in your ways aren't you." The resident agreed that he was set in his ways. Resident #85 then rose from his chair, changed his tubing to the e-cylinder, turned on the Oxygen and walked down the hallway with the e-cylinder balanced on the handlebars of his seated walker. Observation on 8/1/12 at 3:50 p.m. noted Resident #85 in his room with the e-cylinder again resting unsecured on the handle bars of seated walker. Nursing Assistant Certified (NAC) #8 stated " That is not safe, it would be better to have this tied down." Resident #85 said "That would be good, then I could sit on my walker, I can't sit there now". Licensed Nurse #2 came to Resident #85's room and identified that it was not safe to keep the unsecured Oxygen tank balanced on the handlebars of the seated walker because the tank could fall and cause injury to residents. <Unlocked Chemicals> Observation noted the following: 7/27/12 10:17 a.m. Horseshoe Hall tub room: One gallon heavy duty carpet prespray cleaning solution (label reads caution causes eye and skin irritation) unsecured on the floor next to tub and a 24 oz container of shampoo on back of tub (2 oz remaining). This was brought to Licensed Nurse #1 ' s attention, who promptly locked the shampoo and carpet cleaning solution. On interview 7/30/12, the ESD stated that the carpet prespray cleaning solution was left there from scrubbing floors 1-2 days before and should have been locked up. According to the ESD the shampoo should also have been locked up. 7/30/12 11:00 a.m. Flagship Hall large shower room: 1 gallon body wash pump was located in the in unlocked common shower room. The label included the warning: "Caution for external use only. "Avoid contact with eyes. In case of eye contact, flush eyes and call physician. There was a locked padlock on a storage cabinet but the padlock was not looped through both doors. The unsecured storage locker contained a full 15 oz Suave shampoo; 14 oz shaving cream, a partially full 23.7 oz dry scalp shampoo; ? full 16 oz hibicleans pump soap, 2 gallons (almost empty) of the body wash. 7/12/12 11:44 a.m. Horseshoe Hall shower room: One gallon body wash open and accessible, multiple containers of shampoo noted in unlocked cupboard. Bath Aide (BA) #1 stated that the shampoo not locked this a.m. when she showered a resident. According to BA #1 the rule is that the cupboard is supposed to be locked" as we have residents who like to wander. It needs to be locked so residents don't harm themselves." Bath Aide #1 then took a padlock key from a cup stored on the linen supply shelf, accessible to all. 7/30/12 12:05 p.m. Mid Flagship Hall shower room: Two unlocked cupboards contained common shampoo, razor and shaving cream. A gallon container of tearless body wash with pump was open and accessible. BA #2 asked, "Should this be locked up?" and then stated that the container would not fit in the storage cupboard (although the body wash was secured in an identical cupboard in the Horseshoe shower room). Bath Aide #2 showed the key to the soap cupboard was kept on a hook on the back of the door. According to BA #2, no one knew about the key for the large Flagship shower room as it was the shower room used by Occupational Therapy. "They tried the keys this morning and none worked." During the 8 days of survey 7/24, 7/25, 7/26, 7/27, 7/30, 7/31, 8/1, 8/2/12 Resident #56 (who had obvious cognitive impairment) was observed actively mobile throughout the facility. Facility staff identified two other mobile residents (Resident #21 and Resident #55) with cognitive impairment. Unsecured chemicals placed those residents at risk for accidental ingestion or burning from toxic substances.
