F600G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident was not neglected (Resident T) and the facility failed to complete interventions in place to prevent neglect and abuse (Resident P and Q) for 3 of 4 residents reviewed for abuse. (Residents T, P & Q) . This deficient practice resulted in Resident T observed to be extensively incontinent of urine and bowel movement (BM), including his clothing, bed pad, sheet, and blanket and had not received incontinent care for an undetermined amount of time. In addition, using the reasonable person concept, resident T and Q could have had feelings of embarrassment, fear of neglect, hopelessness, or depression related to the lack of superivision. (Resident P and Q) Findings include: 1. During an initial tour on 2/27/25 at 9:44 A.M , a strong urine and BM odor was noted in the hallway outside Resident T's room. From the door of the room, the resident was observed laying on his right side in a low bed with an quarter side rail in the raised position. He was wearing plaid pajama pants and no shirt and had a blanket partially covering him. Upon permission from the resident, the room was entered and the odor was stronger closer to the resident. The resident was observed with soiled and wet pajamas bottoms, with wetness and soilage noted partially down his bottom and a saturated incontinent brief soiled with urine and dark brown/black BM. The BM on his lower back was in various stages from wet to drying. The bed pad was soiled with urine and BM and had drying stains in various stages of drying. The blanket, which had been partially covering the resident, was also wet and soiled with urine and BM, in various stages of drying, The facility was alerted of the situation and help was summoned at 9:50 A.M. During an interview with the resident at 9:54 A.M.,. he indicated he had not been changed since yesterday. LPN 14 arrived at 9:56 A.M and indicated at that time, the resident needed care. He then summoned CNA 12 to the room to provide care to the resident. At that time, CNA 12 indicated she was not assigned to this hall but came to assist LPN 14. Both LPN 14 and CNA 12 began providing care for the resident using wipes. They pulled down his pajamas and attempted to remove the incontinent brief and identified wipes would not provide the care he needed. The LPN exited the room to get more supplies. CNA 12 continued to provide care to Resident T. As the incontinent brief was pulled down and the resident rolled onto his back, it was observed his bottom and back were noted to be saturated with urine and BM in the front and back of his peri area and there was an area of scant bleeding coming from his scrotum. The CNA patted the blood off the scrotum with a cloth and a pinpoint open area was observed. The resident indicated he had to urinate. There was no urinal in the room, so the CNA placed a pad over him, and he was able to urinate. The sheet under the resident was observed to have a large area of brown/black BM, in various stages from wet to drying. There was also dried brown rings on the sheet. At 10:06 A.M., LPN 14 arrived back to the room with more linens for care and at 10:09 A.M., CNA 11 arrived to assist.

F880K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide nursing services in a safe and sanitary manner to prevent the transmission of communicable diseases and infections related to not sanitizing the glucometer (portable machine used to test blood sugar levels) between uses for 2 of 16 residents (Residents 29 & 5) randomly observed for glucose monitoring. The facility identified 2 of the 5 residents with bloodborne communicable disease who resided in the facility used the shared glucometer. (Residents 28 & 38) This deficient practice resulted in a high potential risk for disease transmission for the 16 residents in the facility who required glucometer blood sugar testing. The facility also failed to ensure services were effectively provided to prevent the development of infections for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for indwelling urinary catheter care (Resident 33), 1 of 1 resident randomly observed for accessing an ice chest (Resident 3), 3 of 3 residents randomly observed for nursing care by 2 of 3 nursing staff (Resident 4, Resident 7, Resident 46, LPN 2, CNA 8), and 1 of 1 resident reviewed for respiratory care. (Resident 54). The immediate jeopardy began on 5/13/24 when facility staff was observed attempting to complete glucometer blood sugar testing on a resident after prior resident testing without the shared glucometer being sanitized. There were two residents requiring blood glucose testing in the facility who were also identified as having a bloodborne disease. The Executive Director (ED) was notified of the immediate jeopardy at 3:46 P.M. on 5/15/24. The immediate jeopardy was removed on 5/17/2024 at 2:2:7 P.M., but noncompliance remained at the lower scope and severity level of isolated, no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy. Findings include: 1. During a continuous random observation on 5/13/2024 from 11:08 A.M. through 11:26 A.M., QMA 2 was observed to go in Resident 29's room with the glucometer to check a blood sugar. At 11:10 A.M., QMA 2 was observed to leave the resident's room, place the glucometer on top of the medication cart, and place the glucometer in the right-side top drawer of the medication cart without sanitizing the device. At 11:26 A.M., QMA 18 was observed to take the same glucometer out of the top drawer and go into Resident 5's room. QMA 18 used a lancet to obtain a blood sample for the blood sugar check. When QMA 18 went to place the testing strip with the glucometer up to Resident 5's finger, QMA 18 was stopped from completion of the testing. When questioned about the practice of sanitation when blood sugars were obtained, QMA 18 indicated she should have cleaned the glucometer, and confirmed she had not cleaned the glucometer since the prior resident's blood sugar test had been completed. On 5/13/2024 at 11:43 A.M., a list of residents residing in the facility with bloodborne pathogens was requested from the Director of Nursing.

F689J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident with cognitive deficits, who was at risk for elopement and resided on a locked dementia unit, did not exit the building unattended and without the knowledge of staff, resulting in an elopement for 2 of 3 residents reviewed for elopements. (Resident B and Resident D) The Immediate Jeopardy began, on 8/27/19 at 6:00 [NAME]M., when Resident B was last observed in his room by Certified Nurses Aide (CNA) 2 and was found by the local police department blocks away, just off a major highway and taken to a local emergency room for an evaluation at 8:26 [NAME]M. The Administrator and the Director of Nursing (DON) were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 9/3/19 at 4:10 P.M. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 9/4/19, but noncompliance remained at the lower scope and severity of isolated, no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy. Findings include: 1. During the initial tour, on 9/3/19 at 9:38 [NAME]M., Resident B was observed in his room, on the secure dementia unit. CNA 3 was sitting directly outside the resident's door, facing the resident's bed. She indicated the resident was currently being observed, one on one (1:1). She indicated she was watching him for another staff member who took a break, and the 1:1 observations were due to the resident going out and/or breaking the window and the police brought him back to the unit. During an interview, on 9/3/19 at 10:15 [NAME]M., CNA 5 indicated Resident B was on 1:1 observations to make sure he did not get out of the building. During an interview, on 9/3/19 at 10:22 [NAME]M., LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 6 indicated she worked the day Resident B went missing. She had gotten out of nurses report around 7:45 [NAME]M., and as she was going down the hallway she noticed Resident B was not in his room, so she checked the activity/TV room and he was not there. She next checked the dining area and there was no sign of the resident, so she asked another staff member if she had seen him and together they observed each room and area as they went down the hallway twice. After not finding him anywhere they called a Silver Alert. She indicated she had seen a screen lying outside on the ground in the Activity room and in the resident's room but was still not sure which window he left from. LPN 6 indicated the police brought Resident B back to the facility on [DATE] around 11:00 [NAME]M. During an interview, on 9/3/19 at 10:32 [NAME]M., the Maintenance Director indicated Resident B went out the window in his room. The screw placed in the sill of the window, to prevent it from opening, had been pulled out and was lying on the floor in Resident B's room, and the window screen was lying on the ground outside of the room in the grass. He indicated he had checked all the windows on the dementia unit to make sure the screws were securely in place, to prevent the window from opening. He indicated he had also placed a screw in Resident B's window opening latch to ensure the resident could not open his window. He indicated he had been checking the windows and screws on the dementia unit daily but had no documentation to provide for review. Incident #177, dated 8/27/19, indicated staff entered Resident B's room to get him for breakfast, however the resident was not in his bed. Staff did a quick search of the unit and could not locate Resident B's whereabouts. It was determined the resident left via a window. A full search of the facility was conducted and the resident was not located in the facility. The police had found the resident and had taken him to the local ER for an evaluation. The resident was returned to the facility that same day. During an interview, on 9/3/19 at 10:57 [NAME]M., the Administrator indicated upon Resident B's return, he was placed on 15 minute checks for 72 hours, an elopement risk assessment was completed and all windows in the facility were observed to ensure a mechanism was in place to prevent further exits through an open window. She indicated the resident was still on 1:1 observations with staff documentation every 15 minutes due to some of his statements. During an interview, on 9/3/19 at 9:49 [NAME]M., CNA 4 indicated she was unsure why Resident B was receiving 1:1 observations. A typed statement from CNA 2, untitled and undated, provided by the Administrator indicated CNA 2 had last seen the resident in his bed around 6:00 [NAME]M., as she had been in the room to assist his roommate. The form indicated the CNA did not recall the window being open at the time. On 9/3/19 at 11:10 [NAME]M., a review of the clinical record for Resident B was conducted. The record indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE]. The resident's [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].

I informed him I would ask about getting him smokes. He was OK after that An emergency room (ER) Report, dated 8/27/19, indicated Resident B presented to the ER with confusion. The police reported he was found wandering the streets with an unsteady gait. The resident claimed he lived with his daughter and was going to meet her. He did not know his address. He became agitated in the ER when the staff kept him in his ER room. The resident's primary physician confirmed the gentleman was a resident, who had escaped last night, from a locked dementia unit. The resident was agreeable to return to the nursing home and was discharged back to the nursing home. During an interview, on 9/3/19 at 12:20 P.M., the Administrator indicated she had spoken to the police department and there was no police report. She indicated the police reported to her the resident was found a few blocks north of the facility, walking along the highway (State Road 19 - a extremely busy 4 lane highway with a middle turning lane). Resident B had to cross a busy 4 lane road to get to where he was found. The facility was located on busy highway with the St.[NAME]River just outside the resident's window. During an interview, on 9/3/19 at 2:20 P.M., the Social Service Director indicated the resident had no behaviors of exit seeking since his admission. She indicated the night before his elopement he had requested to a nurse he wanted to go outside to smoke but was denied. On 9/4/19 at 9:20 [NAME]M., Resident B was sitting in the activity/TV area. He indicated at this time his .name was inmate . because he couldn't get out of the facility. He indicated he had gotten out of the building the other day, through his window and walked down the highway. 2. On 9/3/19 at 12:45 P.M., an interview was conducted with Resident D and his POA (Power of Attorney). The POA indicated he was concerned about the safety of the unit because the window in Resident D's room was able to be opened. Resident D also resided on the locked dementia unit and the window in his room was observed at this time. The window had a screw in the sill but the window pane was loose and able to be maneuvered over the screw and be opened completely. The Administrator and DON were brought to observe the window that was able to be opened and the Administrator indicated she would contact the Maintenance Director to secure the window in this room and check the other rooms again on the dementia unit. On 9/3/19 at 2:32 P.M., a review of the clinical record for Resident D was conducted. The record indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE], and [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].

The interventions included but were not limited to: keep residents routine consistent, try to provide consistent care givers and engage resident in simple, structured activities that avoid overly demanding tasks. During an interview, on 9/3/19 at 2:52 P.M., LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 6 indicated Resident D was not in the elopement binder kept at the nurses station, but he was at risk for an elopement. She indicated he had just been admitted over the weekend. A form titled Window checks, indicated every shift for 72 hours, for all rooms on the secure unit, the activity room and dining room were to be checked and staff had checked Resident D's window in his room on 8/27, 8/28 and 8/29 with no concerns. A Performance Improvement Tool, indicated Resident D's room had a secure window on 8/27, 8/28, and 8/30/19. No documentation indicating the tool was used on 9/1/19. On 9/3/19 at 11:13 [NAME]M., the Director of Nursing (DON) provided a policy titled Elopements Policy and Procedure, dated 11/28/17 and indicated the policy was the one currently used by the facility. The policy indicated .It is the policy of this facility to assess all residents upon admission to the facility and quarterly for their risk of elopement. Residents who are assessed as being high risk for elopement will have a plan of care that identifies the risk and appropriate interventions. A picture of the resident with relocation information shall be placed in the Elopement Risk Book kept at the nurses station On 9/4/19 at 11:01 [NAME]M., the Director of Nursing (DON) provided a policy titled Elopement Prevention Policy and Procedure, dated 11/28/17 and indicated the policy was the one currently used by the facility.
