(Completed 4:10 P.M. on 08/12/2013) 4.) All staff currently on duty was in-serviced on policies and procedures related to special diets and proper storage of chemicals. (Completed 4:45 P.M. on 08/12/2013) 5.) All personnel not currently on duty will receive the same in-service prior to start of their shift. In addition, in order to prevent future occurrences, the Administrator and/or designee will conduct daily monitoring of diet cards to ensure they match the diet orders located in the charts. The housekeeping supervisor or designee will monitor all bathing areas daily to ensure that all cleaning/bathing supplies are stored in a locked cabinet." On 08/12/13, another IJ situation was determined to exist in regard to a temporary unlocked door on South Hall 100, which led out to a hazardous construction area that was left unattended after 3:30 p.m. The IJ was verified with the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH). At 4:30 p.m. the IJ situation was reported to the Administrator and the Project Manager. On 08/12/13 at 5:30 p.m., the Administrator presented an acceptable Plan of Removal to the survey team as follows: "Tulsa Jewish Community Retirement and Health Care Center (TJCRHCC) will perform the following in order to ensure the safety of all residents: 1. A Velcro "stop sign" will be placed in front of the temporary construction door leading into the construction work area. (Completed 5:35 p.m.) 2. The door will be alarmed so a high pitched audible alarm will sound if the door is opened by anyone for any reason. (Completed 5:35 p.m.)" The immediate jeopardy situations were removed as of 08/14/13 at 11:05 a.m., after all the staff had been inserviced on thickened liquids, storage of hazardous chemicals and the alarm system on the temporary door on Hall 100. The deficient practice remained at no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm, at a pattern. Based on record review, observation and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to: a) Ensure thickened liquids were provided, as ordered by the physician, for three (#3, 4 and #5) of six sampled residents with a history of aspiration or a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. This had the likelihood to affect seven residents identified by the acting DON as having physician's orders [REDACTED]. b) Ensure hazardous chemicals were maintained in a secured manner on two (Hall 100 and Hall 300) of three hallways. This had the likelihood to affect one resident (#2) identified by the DON as having wandering behaviors. c) Ensure a temporary door on south Hall 100 was secured to prevent resident access to a hazardous construction site for one (#2) of one sampled wandering residents. This had the likelihood to affect one resident (#2) identified by the DON as having wandering behaviors. d) Ensure a blanket was placed on the edge of the Broda chair seat, as was previously documented in an incident report as the steps to prevent recurrence (STPR) of skin tears, for one (#4) of seven sampled residents that utilized Broda chairs. This resulted in harm to resident #4. This had the potential to affect 12 residents identified by the DON as utilizing Broda chairs. e) Ensure two residents with a history of altercations between them were not seated at the same dining table, as was previously documented in an incident report as the STPR, for two (#2 and #23) of two sampled residents with behaviors. This had the potential to affect two residents identified by the DON with a history of altercations. f) Ensure transferring of residents between surfaces was provided in a safe manner for two (#1 and #3) of four sampled residents observed being transferred. This had the potential to affect 45 residents identified by the DON as requiring assistance with transfers. g) Ensure a resident that had a high percentage of falls which had occurred in the early morning hours had interventions put in place in a timely manner to prevent furthur falls, for one (#4) of eight sampled residents identified with falls. This had the potential to affect all 47 residents residing in the facility per the DON. Findings: 1. Resident #4 had been admitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. On 01/09/13 at 12:15 p.m., a nurse's note documented, "Pt having increased coughing/choking during meal & fluid intake- spoke c Dr. (Name deleted)- new orders obtained for change in diet- Mechanical soft & nectar thick fluids..."

On 08/12/13 at 10:45 a.m., an observation was made of a water pitcher of unthickened water on the overbed table within reach of the resident. At 10:50 a.m., CNA #7 was interviewed regarding the unthickened water in reach of the resident. CNA #7 reported she had added ice to the thickened water in the resident's room earlier in her shift. At 11:10 a.m., the resident was asked if she had taken any drinks of her iced water. She stated, "Yes." She said she was able to drink without assistance. 3. Resident #5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. A care plan, dated 07/08/13, documented the resident had an alteration in nutrition. On 07/14/13, a handwritten diet documented "Mech soft c chopped meat c sauce/gravy c nectar thick liquids." On 07/11/13, a physician's telephone order documented speech therapy to treat 3 x week x 30 days and a diet texture analysis for oral/pharyngeal function and possible radiological dysphagia evaluation. Diagnosis: [REDACTED]. On 07/12/13, a physician's telephone order, changed diet to nectar thick liquids. An admission assessment, dated 07/17/13, documented the resident had a severe cognitive impairment with long and short term memory loss, required extensive assistance of one person with eating, and was on a mechanically altered diet. On 08/12/13 at 12:10 p.m., the resident was observed eating the noon meal in the dining room. The resident had a glass of regular ice water setting out of her reach. The resident asked a CNA to give her a drink of water. The CNA picked up the glass of ice water and was going to give the resident a drink when a surveyor stopped the CNA and asked her if she was sure the ice water was the resident's. The CNA had to call the dietary aide over to ask if the ice water belonged to the resident. The ice water was removed. At 1:30 p.m., a container of unthickened water was observed in the resident's room next to her bed. 4. Resident #2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. An annual assessment, dated 06/24/13, documented the resident as having a behavior of wandering daily.

Suggestion (possible bolster
Based on record review, observation, and staff interview it was determined that the facility failed to ensure the environment remained free of accident hazards for one (#2) of one sampled wandering resident. This had the potential to affect two residents who had been assessed as exhibiting wandering behavior as identified by the MDS Coordinator. Findings: On 10/29/13, at 9:00 a.m., an observation was made of the 'Clean Utility' room on the north hall of the facility. The outer door entering into the utility room was unlocked. The door was very heavy and required the use of body weight to lean against it in order to push it open. The inner door entering into the utility room was unlocked. The door was very heavy and required the use of body weight to lean against it in order to push it open. An observation was made of the following containers of chemicals under the sink in the utility room in an unlocked cabinet: Two containers of: Commercial Clorox Urine Remover. These were labeled as "eye irritant-keep out of reach of children". Two containers of: NABC-non acid disinfectant bathroom cleaner. These were labeled as "eye irritant". One container of: RX 75-Antibacterial Heavy Duty Cleaner and Odor Counteractant. This was labeled as "Keep Out of Reach of Children". One container of: Diversey Profil Floor Cleaner. This was labeled as "eye irritant". One container of: RX 20F-Fabric, Carpet, and Air Freshener. This was labeled as "Eye Irritant. Keep Out of Reach of Children". At 9:30 a.m., the MDS coordinator, Housekeeping supervisor and the ADM were interviewed in the north hall utility room. The MDS coordinator identified resident #2 and an unsampled resident as having previously wandered at times. She further reported both of the residents had exhibited general declines and were no longer wandering and were not capable of opening doors. The ADM was asked if a staff member had been assigned to monitor the room for the presence of chemicals. The ADM reported no staff member had been checking the room because no chemicals had ever been placed in the north hall utility room. The housekeeping supervisor was then asked if she was aware of the chemicals being in the utility room. She reported she had known the chemicals were there but that the housekeeping department no longer had a room on the south hall in which to store chemicals. The ADM was then asked if the facility had a key to lock the north hall utility room. He reported the chemicals would be immediately removed from the north hall utility room and placed in the locked storage room on the south hall.
Based on observation, record review, and staff and resident interview it was determined the facility was not being administered effectively to prevent immediate jeopardy situations. This had the potential to affect all 47 residents residing in the facility. Findings: On 08/12/13, an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist due to unsecured hazardous chemicals located in the unlocked shower rooms on Hall 100 and Hall 300. On 08/12/13, another IJ situation was determined to exist due to the failure of the facility to provide thickened liquids for residents who had physician's orders [REDACTED]. On 08/12/13, the IJ situations were verified with the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH). At 3:00 p.m., the Administrator and the DON were informed of the IJ situations related to thickened liquids and the unsecured chemicals. The Administrator presented an acceptable plan of removal which was dated 08/12/13, and timed 3:15 p.m. Then plan of removal documented: "Tulsa Jewish Community Retirement and Health Care Center (TJCRHCC) will perform the following in order to ensure all residents receive the appropriate diet and diet type and will ensure all hazardous supplies will be secured: 1.) Every resident chart was audited to ensure that their diet cards matched the order in the chart. Any discrepancies were corrected immediately. (Completed 3:45 P.M. on 08/12/2013) 2.) All resident rooms were inspected to ensure all drinking/food products in rooms match the dietary order in the resident's chart. Also, all special signs related to dietary requirement will be inspected to ensure signs match orders found in charts. (Completed 4:00 P.M. on 08/12/2013) 3.) All bathing areas and housekeeping spaces were inspected for unlocked cleaning and/or bathing products. All cleaning and bathing products will be placed in locked cabinets immediately. (Completed 4:10 P.M. on 08/12/2013) 4.) All staff currently on duty was in-serviced on policies and procedures related to special diets and proper storage of chemicals. (Completed 4:45 P.M. on 08/12/2013) 5.) All personnel not currently on duty will receive the same in-service prior to start of their shift. In addition, in order to prevent future occurrences, the Administrator and/or designee will conduct daily monitoring of diet cards to ensure they match the diet orders located in the charts. The housekeeping supervisor or designee will monitor all bathing areas daily to ensure that all cleaning/bathing supplies are stored in a locked cabinet." On 08/12/13, another IJ situation was determined to exist in regard to a temporary unlocked door on South Hall 100, which led out to a hazardous construction area that was left unattended after 3:30 p.m. The IJ was verified with the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH). At 4:30 p.m. the IJ situation was reported to the Administrator and the Project Manager. On 08/12/13 at 5:30 p.m., the Administrator presented an acceptable Plan of Removal to the survey team as follows: "Tulsa Jewish Community Retirement and Health Care Center (TJCRHCC) will perform the following in order to ensure the safety of all residents: 1. A Velcro "stop sign" will be placed in front of the temporary construction door leading into the construction work area. (Completed 5:35 p.m.) 2. The door will be alarmed so a high pitched audible alarm will sound if the door is opened by anyone for any reason. (Completed 5:35 p.m.)" The immediate jeopardy situations were removed as of 08/14/13 at 11:05 a.m., after all the staff had been inserviced on thickened liquids, storage of hazardous chemicals and the alarm system on the temporary door on Hall 100. The deficient practice remained at no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm, at a pattern. Based on record review, observation and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to: a) Ensure thickened liquids were provided, as ordered by the physician, for three (#3, 4 and #5) of six sampled residents with a history of aspiration or a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. This had the likelihood to affect seven residents identified by the acting DON as having physician's orders [REDACTED]. b) Ensure hazardous chemicals were maintained in a secured manner on two (Hall 100 and Hall 300) of three hallways. This had the likelihood to affect one resident (#2) identified by the DON as having wandering behaviors. c) Ensure a temporary door on south Hall 100 was secured to prevent resident access to a hazardous construction site for one (#2) of one sampled wandering residents. This had the likelihood to affect one resident (#2) identified by the DON as having wandering behaviors. d) Ensure a blanket was placed on the edge of the Broda chair seat, as was previously documented in an incident report as the steps to prevent recurrence (STPR) of skin tears, for one (#4) of seven sampled residents that utilized Broda chairs. This resulted in harm to resident #4. This had the potential to affect 12 residents identified by the DON as utilizing Broda chairs. e) Ensure two residents with a history of altercations between them were not seated at the same dining table, as was previously documented in an incident report as the STPR, for two (#2 and #23) of two sampled residents with behaviors. This had the potential to affect two residents identified by the DON with a history of altercations. f) Ensure transferring of residents between surfaces was provided in a safe manner for two (#1 and #3) of four sampled residents observed being transferred. This had the potential to affect 45 residents identified by the DON as requiring assistance with transfers. g) Ensure a resident that had a high percentage of falls which had occurred in the early morning hours had interventions put in place in a timely manner to prevent furthur falls, for one (#4) of eight sampled residents identified with falls. This had the potential to affect all 47 residents residing in the facility, per the DON. Please refer to F323.
Inspection of November 13, 2012
4 findingsOn 11/08/12 at 4:45 p.m., an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist due to the facility's failure to ensure allegations of abuse were thoroughly investigated and residents were protected during an investigation. On 11/08/12 at 4:50 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified. The IJ situation was verified. At 5:00 p.m., the Administrator and the Director of Nursing were notified of the IJ situation. At 6:30 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was provided to the team. "The Tulsa Jewish Retirement and Healthcare Center will immediately implement a comprehensive In-Service training program on screening, identifying, reporting, and preventing elder abuse. The first training will be today, 11/8/12, on the 3-11 shift. Similar training will take place tonight for the 11-7 shift and again tomorrow for the 7-3 shift. Attendees will understand the facility policy on elder abuse. Further, they will have a clear understanding of how to identify abuse, report abuse, investigate and subsequently prevent or protect the residents from abuse. Any employee not scheduled to work in the next 24 hour period will be in-serviced prior to engaging residents. The facility policy on abuse will be corrected as discussed with the survey team. Specifically, section 3.1 will read, "Any suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation is to be reported to your immediate supervisor and/or the Director of Nurses and the Administrator immediately." Section 3.2 will read, "An Incident report is completed and given to the Director of Nursing and/or the Administrator during the shift in which the incident occurred..." Section 3.3 will read, "A thorough investigation will be initiated..." The entire policy will be re-written and available to the Survey Team on Friday November 9th 2011 (2012)." On 11/09/12 at 2:45 p.m., an additional allegation of staff to resident abuse was discovered through record review. At 3:00 p.m., OSDH was notified and verified the continuance of the IJ situation. At 3:10 p.m., the Administrator and the Director of Nursing were informed of the continued IJ situation. On 11/09/12 at 4:46 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was accepted. This was an addendum that had been added to the first plan of removal and documented the following: "Additionally, the employee who allegedly abused a resident has been removed from the facility and will not be permitted back to work until a complete investigation can be performed. Once the case has been resolved, the final report will be submitted to the proper agencies." The immediate jeopardy was removed as of 11/09/12 at 3:00 p.m., after staff had been inserviced and CNA #2 had finished her shift and left the building. The deficient practice remained at actual harm at a pattern. Based on record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to implement their abuse policy/procedure by failing to: a) thoroughly investigate allegations of abuse for two (#9 and #19) of 12 residents sampled for abuse. b) Put protective/preventive measures in place to protect residents from abuse and prevent recurrence for two (#9 and #19) of 12 residents sampled for abuse. c) Report allegations of abuse to the appropriate state agencies for one (#19) of 12 residents sampled for abuse. d) Check the state's abuse registry in regard to newly hired non-technical service workers. e) Check the state's nurse aide registry in regard to newly hired nurse aides. This had the likelihood to affect all 55 residents. Findings: The facility's original policy and procedure for abuse documented: "Policy: The Tulsa Jewish Retirement and Health Care Center will make every attempt to protect Residents from abuse of any sort by striving to recognize signs/symptoms and potential for abuse... Procedure: Any person having reasonable cause to believe that an elderly person or incapacitated adult is suffering from abuse, neglect (including self-neglect), or exploitation will make a report to the Oklahoma State Department of Health and Adult Protective Services Division of the Department of Human Services... Staff/volunteer suspects the individual has sustained abuse, neglect (including self-neglect), or exploitation. Management: Any suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation is to be reported to the Director of Nursing or President/CEO. An Incident Report is completed and given to the Director of Nursing or President/CEO within 24 hours. The report will include identifying information, description, type and extent of abuse or neglect, information concerning previous injury, and circumstances leading to suspicion... A thorough investigation will be investigated in a reasonable time period. Statements from witnesses as well as from the person suspected of the deed will be recorded and signed as quickly as possible. Witnesses or the accused may make additions or corrections to statements as needed. Within 24 hours of a report of suspected abuse or neglect, an Oklahoma State Incident Report form will be faxed to the Protection Health Services Division of the Department of Health at [PHONE NUMBER]. A report will also be made to Adult Protective Services at [PHONE NUMBER], or state hotline, [PHONE NUMBER] and/or the Tulsa Police Department, as is appropriate. If photographs are needed, the resident or the responsible party/guardian's consent to required. Prevention: Any individual suspected of abusing or neglecting a resident will be removed from the facility until an investigation can be completed. During the investigation period the accused will not be permitted in the facility. All employees, regardless of their job duties, will be subject to background screening to include but not limited to OSBI, FBI, Abuse Registry, etc." 1. Resident #9 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The resident was receiving [MEDICATION NAME] and Aspirin for anti-coagulation therapy. These medications are blood thinners and place residents at risk for bruising. The physician's orders [REDACTED]. An incident/accident report, dated 02/05/12 at 11:15 a.m., documented, "Ecchymosis on R inner thigh noted multiple small areas. Rt. hand noted Ecchymosis. R lower abdominal area ecchymosis noted. Palpated abdomen. Soft No reaction or S/S pain...Steps to prevent recurrence: Resident's diaper to be changed in BR. Insulin sites to be rotated. Protective sleeves to hands." An incident/accident report, dated 02/25/12 at 11:15 a.m., "Resident lying in bed. Bruising noted to l foot outer aspect. Assessed for S/S pain. None noted. 1+ [MEDICAL CONDITION] noted to lower ankle leg area. Possible bruising occurred by resident hitting l ft. on wheel of wheelchair." Steps to prevent recurrence: Push resident in wheelchair." An incident/accident report, dated 03/03/12 at 1:30 p.m., "Called to resident rm. Bruise noted to r breast-above areola. Blue/yellow green in color...Steps to prevent recurrence: Use extra care when touching residents skin due to fragility." An incident/accident report, dated 04/17/12 (time unknown), "Sitter (Named deleted) notified that she noted a bruise to r knee on resident. Bruise is 2cm width by 5 cm length. Appearance of yellowing around edges. Unknown origin...Steps to prevent recurrence: Reinforced CNA's/Sitter to be gentle when caring for/transferring resident due to fragile skin." An incident/accident report, dated 05/04/12 at 9:30 a.m., "Sitter called me to room to report bruising found inner r thigh of unknown origin...Step to prevent recurrence: Cont to instruct CNA's on safety and repositioning when providing patient care." An incident/accident report, dated 05/06/12 at 8:30 a.m., "Resident brought to this nurse via W/C. Sm ecchymosis, blue color noted one cm x one cm outer L eye. No s/s present of discomfort noted. No discoloration to L eye on sclera. No swelling. B/P 148/82 P 90 R 18...Steps to prevent recurrence: Possible benefit mitts at HS." An incident/accident report, dated 05/13/12 at 2:00 p.m., "Called to residents rm. by (Name deleted/resident sitter), ecchymosis noted over lt eye 2 cm width x 1.5 cm height. Sclera speckled red inner aspect with darkened ecchymosis area lower aspect L pupil. Ecchymosis blue in color...Steps to prevent recurrence: Resident may benefit from bilateral hand mitts." There was no documentation to show any of these incidents, including the bruising to the inner thigh, breast or eye, had been investigated to find out if there was a correlation to resident care or the anti-coagulant medications. An incident/accident report, dated 06/09/12 at 10:00 p.m., "CNA worked with resident reported to this nurse that had witnessed sitter "spanking" resident on her buttocks. No apparent bruising noted at this time (No) S/S of discomfort...Steps to prevent recurrence: "Suggest to charge sitter, (Name deleted), to address the sitter and also notified DON of the incident." The CNA's statement related to the incident documented, "...I saw her (the sitter) beating (Resident's Name deleted) on the shoulder...she beat her on the buds with her hands. It wasn't the first time that she does that I feel so bad cause I witness before she beat (Resident's Name deleted) on the buds before when I was helping her...I didn't say anything about it." The time of the actual spanking was not documented. The surveyor attempted to call the CNA who had observed the spanking, but could not reach him/her due to both telephone numbers being disconnected. The CNA no longer worked at the facility. A nurse's note, dated 06/10/12 at 10:00 a.m., documented, "Called to N (north) hall shower rm. Resident noted to have a R wrist discoloration. Discoloration light blue in color. 3 cm. width/4.5 cm. length...Steps to prevent recurrence: May benefit from arm protectors." An incident/accident report dated 07/04/12 at 5:00 a.m., documented, "CNA notify me at 0500 that resident had bruise to R knee. Resident assessed, R knee is bruised, dark bluish in color, measuring 7 cm. by 4.5 cm. Visible pain noted upon movement of leg. Resident is unable to explain what happened...Steps to prevent recurrence: "Staff should be gentle when transferring resident." An incident/accident report dated 07/05/12 at 8:00 a.m. "Res pri sitter noticed a bruise above res R eye. Cause of bruise is unknown...Steps to prevent recurrence: Staff to continue to monitor res for bruises." None of these incidents had been investigated to correlate bruising to either resident care or anti-coagulant medications the resident was being administered. A quarterly assessment, dated 08/16/12, documented the resident had severely impaired cognition and required extensive assistance of one staff with dressing, eating, hygiene and bathing. The care plan last revised on 08/18/12, did not address the resident being on [MEDICATION NAME] and aspirin and was at an increased risk for bruising. On 11/08/12 at 11:15 a.m., the ADM and the DON were interviewed regarding their policy and procedure on abuse and investigations of bruising of unknown origin or bruising of a suspicious nature. The policy was presented to the survey team. The ten occurrences of bruising since February 2012, were discussed at that time. The DON was asked if she had conducted any investigations regarding the bruising. The DON stated she had no written investigations or statements from the staff to add to the incident reports. The DON stated, "Why would we investigate bruising. She is on [MEDICATION NAME] and aspirin." The ADM and the DON were asked if they could say whether the bruising was due to the [MEDICATION NAME] or the aspirin or due to actual resident care without investigating. The ADM reported it was a judgement call as to whether an incident would be investigated. The ADM further reported 99% of the investigations were done orally and were not documented. The ADM and DON were asked if the facility QA Committee did tracking and trending on incident/accident reports. The ADM reported the QA committee gave priority to falls and/or fractures. The ADM and DON were asked if they considered bruising to the breast of a resident or to inner thighs to be suspicious in nature. The ADM reported that investigation would be a judgement call of the nurse who filled out the incident report. The DON had no comment to the question. The ADM stated that only sitters gave care to the resident on a 24 hour basis and no facility staff gave the resident care. He stated the sitters are not our staff. There were times during the survey when no sitter was observed sitting with the resident. Facility staff and hospice were also providing care during the times the resident had no sitter. On 11/07/12 at 11:30 a.m., no sitter was observed with the resident. On 11/08/12 at 7:10 p.m., the sitter had already left. The ADM and DON were asked if they had documentation of any in-services given to staff regarding being careful with the resident due to her fragile skin. The ADM reported in-services were usually given on the spot and not documented. The ADM and the DON were asked if they had been aware of the resident's bruising and the resident being spanked by her sitter? They both reported that they were aware. On 11/08/12 at 2:45 p.m., the charge sitter was interviewed. She was asked what care she gives to the resident. She reported she gives all care during the day to the resident unless she is teaching a class next door. She was asked what she meant by 'all care'. She responded bathing, transferring, feeding and providing incontinent care. She reported she is responsible for hiring and firing the other sitters. She was asked how she gets referrals for other sitters. She responded she would check around for people she knew and who she could trust. She was asked if any background checks were done and she stated, "No." She was asked if she or any of the other sitters were trained as CNA's. She stated, "No." At 7:10 p.m., the resident was observed being transferred by two staff members. Bruising was observed to the resident's (R) leg, surrounding the knee. The bruise was yellowish green with a small amount of faded purple, approximately 10 inches in length and 3 inches in width. There was also bruising observed two on the left arm and two on the right arm. The resident did not bear weight on her LE's and no gait belt was utilized in the transfer. On 11/09/12, at 9:30 a.m., the DON was interviewed and asked if she had any additional incident reports for the resident. She reported she did not. The DON was asked to observe the resident's (R) leg. After observing the resident's leg, the DON reported she was not aware of the bruising. The DON reviewed the medical record and confirmed there was no documentation of the presence of the bruising to the resident's knee. She reported she would have the staff complete an incident report. On 11/09/12 at 3:30 p.m., LPN #3 was interviewed regarding the incident of the resident being spanked by the sitter. The LPN reported she had worked a 16 hour shift. On 06/09/12, she began her shift at 2:30 p.m., and worked on 06/10/12, until 7:00 a.m. The LPN reported she was informed of what had happened during her supper break on 06/09/12. She stated, "A CNA informed me she had observed the weekend sitter spanking the resident." The LPN stated, "By the time I learned about it, the sitter had already gone home. I knew the DON was coming in the next day, so I waited to talk with her then." The weekend sitter had worked the day shift on 06/09/12, and again on 06/10/12, on the day shift. The LPN reported she had not been able to reach the charge sitter the evening of the incident of the spanking. The LPN stated, "When I arrived to work the next day at 2:30 p.m., I was informed the weekend sitter was back with the resident and worked the entire shift." She then reported the DON had also come to work about 2:30 p.m., and she had told the DON the weekend sitter had been observed spanking the resident. The LPN stated after she had informed the DON, on 06/10/12 p.m., of the spanking, the DON had told me to call the charge sitter, because the sitters are not our employees. The LPN stated she had been able to reach the charge sitter about 10:00 p.m., that same evening on 06/10/12 (Sunday). The LPN reported the weekend sitter had worked her entire shift the day she had been observed spanking the resident and had also worked her entire shift the next day. She reported the charge sitter terminated the weekend sitter on Monday (06/11/12). The issue was not addressed until the second day after the incident. The facility took no steps to protect the resident. On 11/09/12 at 4:00 p.m., the ADM was interviewed regarding investigations of the bruising. He reported he did not hold his DON accountable for investigating all bruising. The facility could not provide any investigations for the incident on 06/09/12, of the weekend sitter spanking the resident or any conclusions for the multiple suspicious bruises. 2. Resident #19 had been admitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A BIMS (brief interview for mental status), dated 08/19/12, documented, "Resident unable or unwilling to participate." A significant change assessment, dated 08/20/12, documented the resident had inadequate short and long term memory, had severely impaired cognition, had continuous behaviors that did not fluctuate, had disorganized thinking, altered level of consciousness, psychomotor [MEDICAL CONDITION], was not ambulatory, was totally dependent on the staff for all ADL's and was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. A CAA analysis report, dated 08/22/12, documented, "(Name deleted resident #19) continues to have severe alterations in his cognition status related to his dx of end stage dementia and [MEDICAL CONDITION] to (Name deleted) hospice for services related to his overall decline and his dx of adult failure to thrive..." A care plan, dated 08/22/12, documented: "Problem...Communication- Resident has a communication deficit of: understanding other, making self understood, nonverbal... Approaches: Adjust environment to reduce noise for communication, to reduce distractions and to amplify sound, if needed. Provide reassurance when he/she attempts to communicate...Speak facing him/her in simple phrases...Allow adequate time for response... Problem: Expected decline- Resident is expected to decline and requires Hospice care due to a terminal condition..." On 10/10/12 at 12:20 p.m., a nurse's note documented, "Resident was in dining room a lunch aide was feeding him & was shaking him to wake him to eat. But it appeared to be abusive report to DON. She stated she will take care of it." The incident/accident reports were reviewed for the shaking and verbally abusive behavior observed by LPN #1 on 10/10/12. There was no incident/accident report written for the incident. LPN #1 who had written the nurse's note on 10/10/12, was interviewed. She was asked to identify the CNA addressed in the nurse's note. The LPN identified (name deleted CNA #2). (Name deleted CNA #2) employee records were reviewed. The record contained seven employee warnings related to the care of the residents by CNA #2. The employee record contained employee warnings that documented the following: On 01/17/12: "...Specific areas of needed improvement: Needs to work on tone of voice, less aggressive in tone while providing care to our resident & talking to family members. Recommendations for profession development (seminars, training, schooling, etc.): Needs to attend counseling sessions offered by company to help deal with personal issues." On 10/10/12: "Description of Violation: Reported being too rough with resident at lunch while attempting to feed him. Were shaking head & shoulder & talking loudly. Actions to be Taken: Suspension for 2 days without pay. If happens again suspension up to termination. Discussed with (Name deleted CNA #2), but she refused to sign." On 11/08/12 at 5:25 p.m., the resident was observed sitting in a Broda chair in the dining room. The resident was being spoonfed by a CNA. On 11/09/12 at 12:00 p.m., LPN #1 who had made the entry in the nurses' notes on 10/10/12, was interviewed. The LPN was asked to describe the incident that had occurred on 10/10/12, with (Name deleted resident #19) and (Name deleted CNA #2). The LPN stated, "(Name deleted CNA #2) was sitting next to (Name deleted resident #19) in the dining room. The LPN reported the CNA put her arm around the resident's shoulder and was observed to be pulling him side to side, and talking very loudly to the resident. The CNA's voice could be heard all over the dining room and other staff and residents were looking at what was going on between the resident and the CNA. The LPN then stated the CNA put the heel of her hand to the side of the resident's head and pushed the resident twice. The LPN reported she immediately went to the CNA and told her to go feed another resident to get her away from (Name deleted resident #19). The LPN stated as soon as lunch was over she went to the DON and reported the incident. The LPN stated the CNA had been overheard by staff and families talking gruff with other residents. She stated the CNA had worked for awhile as a shower aide, but had recently been pulled from doing the showers. She did not know why. The LPN reported there were four residents/families that had requested the CNA not to assist with their care. The LPN reported they had switched the CNA around, so the CNA would not be taking care of those residents. On 11/09/12 at 12:30 p.m., CMA #1 was interviewed. The CMA had been reported as witnessing the incident in the dining room on 10/10/12, between the resident and CNA #2. The CMA was asked to describe her observation. She reported from where she was standing she saw the resident's chair shaking and heard CNA #2 talking loudly to the resident. At 2:00 p.m., the DON was interviewed regarding the incident between resident #19 and CNA #2. She was asked if she had been aware of the incident and had if she conducted an investigation of the allegation of abuse. The DON reported she had come to the conclusion that the shaking and yelling at the resident should had not have occurred. The DON reported LPN #1 had reported the incident to her about 1:00 p.m., the same day of the incident. The DON reported she had talked to CNA #2 about 2:15 p.m., the same day and written her an "Employee Warning Notice", but she had refused to sign it. The DON reported the CNA was rougher in care, but she never meant any harm to the residents. The DON was asked if she had reported the allegation of abuse to OSDH or reported the incident to the family and/or physician. She stated she did not report the incident to anyone and she did not document an investigation of the incident. The time card for CNA #2 dated 10/10/12 (Wednesday), documented the CNA had worked from 6:33 a.m. until 2:57 p.m., her normal shift hours. The incident had been observed during the noon meal. The CNA continued to provide care until the end of her shift at 3:00 p.m. The time card did not document the CNA as working on 10/11/12 (Thursday) or 10/12/12 (Friday) and had been off with pay on 10/15/12 (Monday). On 11/09/12 at 2:20 p.m., the DON was asked what steps had she taken to protect the residents even though she did not do a documented investigation. The DON reported she had suspended the CNA for two days without pay and given her a 'Final Warning.' The DON reported she had also re-assigned the CNA to a different hall when she returned to work on 10/16/12 (Tuesday). On 11/09/12 at 2:30 p.m., an unidentified resident's family was interviewed. The family had been identified as requesting CNA #2 not to provide care for their family member. The family member of the resident was asked about staff treatment of [REDACTED]. The family member reported they had requested (CNA #2's Name deleted) not provide care for their family member. But they had recently noticed the CNA had "worked her way back around" and was now providing care again to their family member. The family member was asked why they had made the request. They reported the CNA had a bad attitude and had been observed being rough when handling their family member. On 11/09/12 at 3:00 p.m., the ADM was interviewed regarding the incident that had occurred on 10/10/12, between CNA #2 and the resident. The ADM was asked if he had been aware of the incident. He said he had knowledge of the incident, but knew the CNA was a good employee and had been with them for years, so he had not been concerned. At 3:30 p.m., the DON was asked if she had thoroughly investigated the incident. She reported she had talked to LPN #1 and CNA #2, but had not documented anything or reported the incident to OSDH. On 11/13/12 at 11:30 a.m., the DON stated she still needed to in-service two additional staff members. The DON stated she had terminated CNA #2, accused of abusive behaviors to a resident, on 11/12/12 at 6:30 a.m. On 11/13/12 at 12:00 p.m., the DON presented the following documentation to the survey team: "On October 10, 2012 it was reported to me by the charge nurse (Name deleted LPN #1), that (Name deleted CNA #2) was being 'rough with (Name deleted resident #19) in the dining room.' (Name deleted LPN #1) stated she was talking loud to (Name deleted resident #19) in attempts to get him to eat lunch. She was touching him on his head trying to get him to wake up to eat. I asked (Name deleted LPN #1) what she meant about touching & she replied (Name deleted CNA #2) was punching on the side of his head to try to wake him up to eat. She stated that other residents were looking at (Name deleted CNA #2) in regard to her being loud. (Name deleted LPN #1) said to ask (Name deleted CMA #1) about it because she had witnessed the event. (Name deleted CNA #2) was removed from the table feeding (Name deleted resident #19) after she had gotten loud. I talked to (Name deleted CMA #1) & she said that (Name deleted CNA #2) was not being that rough with (Name deleted resident #19) that she was trying to wake him up to eat. '(Name deleted CNA #2) doesn't mean any harm to (Name deleted resident #19), she just wants him to eat. She was able to get him to eat.' I spoke to (Name deleted CNA #2) in my office in regards to her talking loud & shaking (Name deleted resident #19) to wake him. I explained at that time that her behavior could be interpreted as abuse by another resident or family member even though she was trying to get him to eat. I told her that her tone of voice sounds gruff because it is harsh sounding. (Name deleted CNA #2) stated she understood. I did suspend her for 2 days without pay & told her to go home & think about the fact that I told her that any & all actions she said or did could be being watched by any family or staff or resident & could be mistaken as abuse. (Name deleted CNA #2) was terminated at 6:30 AM on 11/12/12 by the director of nurses with (LPN #1 Name deleted) present in regard to the incident described as above." On 11/13/12 at 12:30 p.m., the DON was asked if she had interviewed other staff and residents while investigating the allegation of CNA #2 being abusive to resident #19. The DON reported she had only interviewed the three staff members involved in the allegation. 3. On 11/09/12, employee records were reviewed. There was no documentation to show if the names of the nurse aides or non-technical employees were verified on the abuse registry. At 3:35 p.m., the facility's human resources employee was asked if the abuse registry was checked before hiring non-technical staff. She said she did not know she was to check the registry for them and did not know how to check. 4. On 11/09/12, employee records were reviewed. There was no documentation to show if the names of the nurse aides had been verified on the nurse aide registry. At 3:35 p.m., the facility's human resources employee was asked if the nurse aide registry was checked before hiring staff. She said she did not know she was to check the registry and did not know how to check it. At 4:00 p.m., the ADON was asked if the nurse aid registry had been checked for the newly hired nurse aides. She said she used to check, but now the human resources person should be checking. On 11/13/12 at 3:00 p.m., the DON was asked if the nurse aide registry had been checked for the newly hired nurse aides. She said she thought the ADON was checking it.
On 11/08/12 at 4:45 p.m., an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist due to the facility's failure to ensure allegations of abuse were thoroughly investigated and residents were protected during the investigation. On 11/08/12 at 4:50 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified. The IJ situation was verified. At 5:00 p.m., the Administrator and the Director of Nursing were notified of the IJ situation. At 6:30 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was provided to the team. "The Tulsa Jewish Retirement and Healthcare Center will immediately implement a comprehensive In-Service training program on screening, identifying, reporting, and preventing elder abuse. The first training will be today, 11/8/12, on the 3-11 shift. Similar training will take place tonight for the 11-7 shift and again tomorrow for the 7-3 shift. Attendees will understand the facility policy on elder abuse. Further, they will have a clear understanding of how to identify abuse, report abuse, investigate and subsequently prevent or protect the residents from abuse. Any employee not scheduled to work in the next 24 hour period will be in-serviced prior to engaging residents. The facility policy on abuse will be corrected as discussed with the survey team. Specifically, section 3.1 will read, "Any suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation is to be reported to your immediate supervisor and/or the Director of Nurses and the Administrator immediately." Section 3.2 will read, "An Incident report is completed and given to the Director of Nursing and/or the Administrator during the shift in which the incident occurred..." Section 3.3 will read, "A thorough investigation will be initiated..." The entire policy will be re-written and available to the Survey Team on Friday November 9th 2011 (2012)." On 11/09/12 at 2:45 p.m., an additional allegation of staff to resident abuse was discovered through record review. At 3:00 p.m., OSDH was notified and verified the continuance of the IJ situation. At 3:10 p.m., the Administrator and the Director of Nursing were informed of the continued IJ situation. On 11/09/12 at 4:46 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was received. This was an addendum that had been added to the first plan of removal and documented the following: "Additionally, the employee who allegedly abused a resident has been removed from the facility and will not be permitted back to work until a complete investigation can be performed. Once the case has been resolved, the final report will be submitted to the proper agencies." The immediate jeopardy was removed as of 11/09/12 at 3:00 p.m., after staff had been inserviced and CNA #2 had finished her shift and left the building. The deficient practice remained at actual harm at a pattern. Based on record review, observation, and family, residents and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to: a) Protect residents and investigate allegations of abuse for two (#9 and #19) of 12 residents sampled for abuse. b) Put preventive measures in place to prevent recurrence for two (#9 and #19) of 12 residents sampled for abuse. c) Report allegations of abuse to the appropriate state agencies for two (#9 and #19) of 12 residents sampled for abuse This had the likelihood to affect all 55 of 55 residents residing in the facility. Findings: The facility's original policy and procedure for abuse documented: "Policy: The Tulsa Jewish Retirement and Health Care Center will make every attempt to protect Residents from abuse of any sort by striving to recognize signs/symptoms and potential for abuse... Procedure: Any person having reasonable cause to believe that an elderly person or incapacitated adult is suffering from abuse, neglect (including self-neglect), or exploitation will make a report to the Oklahoma State Department of Health and Adult Protective Services Division of the Department of Human Services...

Management: Any suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation is to be reported to the Director of Nursing or President/CEO. An Incident Report is completed and given to the Director of Nursing or President/CEO within 24 hours. The report will include identifying information, description, type and extent of abuse or neglect, information concerning previous injury, and circumstances leading to suspicion... A thorough investigation will be investigated in a reasonable time period. Statements from witnesses as well as from the person suspected of the deed will be recorded and signed as quickly as possible. Witnesses or the accused may make additions or corrections to statements as needed. Within 24 hours of a report of suspected abuse or neglect, an Oklahoma State Incident Report form will be faxed to the Protection Health Services Division of the Department of Health at [PHONE NUMBER]. A report will also be made to Adult Protective Services at [PHONE NUMBER], or state hotline, [PHONE NUMBER] and/or the Tulsa Police Department, as is appropriate. If photographs are needed, the resident or the responsible party/guardian's consent to required. Prevention: Any individual suspected of abusing or neglecting a resident will be removed from the facility until an investigation can be completed. During the investigation period the accused will not be permitted in the facility. All employees, regardless of their job duties, will be subject to background screening to include but not limited to OSBI, FBI, Abuse Registry, etc." 1. Resident #9 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The resident was receiving [MEDICATION NAME] and Aspirin for anti-coagulation therapy. These medications are blood thinners and place residents at risk for bruising. The physician's orders [REDACTED]. An incident/accident report, dated 02/05/12 at 11:15 a.m., documented, "Ecchymosis on R inner thigh noted multiple small areas. Rt. hand noted Ecchymosis. R lower abdominal area ecchymosis noted. Palpated abdomen. Soft No reaction or S/S pain...Steps to prevent recurrence: Resident's diaper to be changed in BR. Insulin sites to be rotated. Protective sleeves to hands."

Sclera speckled red inner aspect with darkened ecchymosis area lower aspect L pupil. Ecchymosis blue in color...Steps to prevent recurrence: Resident may benefit from bilateral hand mitts." There was no documentation to show any of these incidents, including the bruising to the inner thigh, breast or eye, had been investigated to find out if there was a correlation to resident care or the anti-coagulant medications. An incident/accident report, dated 06/09/12 at 10:00 p.m., documented, "CNA worked with resident reported to this nurse that had witnessed sitter "spanking" resident on her buttocks. No apparent bruising noted at this time (No) S/S of discomfort...Steps to prevent recurrence: "Suggest to charge sitter, (Name deleted), to address the sitter and also notified DON of the incident." The CNA's statement related to the incident documented, "...I saw her (the sitter) beating (Resident's Name deleted) on the shoulder...she beat her on the buds with her hands. It wasn't the first time that she does that I feel so bad cause I witness before she beat (Resident's Name deleted) on the buds before when I was helping her...I didn't say anything about it." The time of the actual spanking was not documented. The surveyor attempted to call the CNA who had observed the spanking, but could not reach him/her due to both telephone numbers being disconnected. The CNA no longer worked at the facility. The facility did not document a conclusion to their investigation or notify OSDH of the conclusion to their investigation. A nurse's note, dated 06/10/12 at 10:00 a.m., documented, "Called to N (north) hall shower rm. Resident noted to have a R wrist discoloration. Discoloration light blue in color. 3 cm. width/4.5 cm. length...Steps to prevent recurrence: May benefit from arm protectors." An incident/accident report dated 07/04/12 at 5:00 a.m., documented, "CNA notify me at 0500 that resident had bruise to R knee.

An incident/accident report dated 07/05/12 at 8:00 a.m. "Res pri sitter noticed a bruise above res R eye. Cause of bruise is unknown...Steps to prevent recurrence: Staff to continue to monitor res for bruises." There was no documentation to show any of these incidents had been investigated to find out if there was a correlation to resident care or the anti-coagulant medications. A quarterly assessment, dated 08/16/12, documented the resident had severely impaired cognition and required extensive assistance of one staff with dressing, eating, hygiene and bathing. The care plan last revised on 08/18/12, did not address the resident being on [MEDICATION NAME] and aspirin and was at an increased risk for bruising. On 11/08/12 at 11:15 a.m., the ADM and the DON were interviewed regarding the policy and procedure on abuse and investigating abuse. The policy was presented to the survey team. The ten occurrences of bruising since February 2012, were discussed at that time. The DON was asked if she had conducted any investigations regarding the bruising. The DON stated she had no written investigations or statements from the staff to add to the incident reports. The DON stated, "Why would we investigate bruising. She is on [MEDICATION NAME] and aspirin." The ADM and the DON were asked if they could say whether the bruising was due to the [MEDICATION NAME] or the aspirin or due to actual resident care without investigating. The ADM reported it was a judgement call as to whether an incident would be investigated. The ADM further reported 99% of the investigations were done orally and were not documented. The ADM and DON were asked if the facility QA Committee did tracking and trending on incident/accident reports. The ADM reported the QA committee gave priority to falls and/or fractures. The ADM and DON were asked if they considered bruising to the breast of a resident or to inner thighs to be suspicious in nature. The ADM reported that investigation would be a judgement call of the nurse who filled out the incident report. The DON had no comment to the question. The ADM stated that only sitters gave care to the resident on a 24 hour basis and no facility staff gave the resident care. He stated the sitters are not our staff. There were times during the survey when no sitter was observed sitting with the resident. Facility staff and hospice were also providing care during the times the resident had no sitter. On 11/07/12 at 11:30 a.m., no sitter was observed with the resident. On 11/08/12 at 7:10 p.m., the sitter had already left. The ADM and DON were asked if they had documentation of any in-services given to staff regarding being careful with the resident due to her fragile skin. The ADM reported in-services were usually given on the spot and not documented. The ADM and the DON were asked if they had been aware of the resident's bruising and the resident being spanked by her sitter? They both reported that they were aware. On 11/08/12 at 2:45 p.m., the charge sitter was interviewed. She was asked what care she gave to the resident. She reported she gave all care during the day to the resident unless she was teaching a class next door. She was asked what she meant by 'all care'. She responded bathing, transferring, feeding and providing incontinent care. She reported she was responsible for hiring and firing the other sitters. She was asked how she received referrals for other sitters. She responded she would check around for people she knew and who she could trust. She was asked if any background checks were done and she stated, "No." She was asked if she or any of the other sitters were trained as CNA's. She stated, "No." At 7:10 p.m., the resident was observed being transferred by two staff members. Bruising was observed to the resident's (R) leg, surrounding the knee. The bruise was yellowish green with a small amount of faded purple, approximately 10 inches in length and 3 inches in width. There was also bruising observed on the left arm and two on the right arm. The resident did not bear weight on her LE's and no gait belt was utilized in the transfer. On 11/09/12, at 9:30 a.m., the DON was interviewed and asked if she had any additional incident reports for the resident. She reported she did not. The DON was asked to observe the resident's (R) leg. After observing the resident's leg, the DON reported she was not aware of the bruising. The DON reviewed the medical record and confirmed there was no documentation of the presence of the bruising to the resident's knee. She reported she would have the staff complete an incident report. On 11/09/12 at 3:30 p.m., LPN #3 was interviewed regarding the incident of the resident being spanked by the sitter. The LPN reported she had worked a 16 hour shift. On 06/09/12, she began her shift at 2:30 p.m., and worked on 06/10/12, until 7:00 a.m. The LPN reported she was informed of what had happened during her supper break on 06/09/12. She stated, "A CNA informed me she had observed the weekend sitter spanking the resident." The LPN stated, "By the time I learned about it, the sitter had already gone home. I knew the DON was coming in the next day, so I waited to talk with her then." The weekend sitter had worked the day shifts on 06/09/12, and again on 06/10/12. The LPN reported she had not been able to reach the charge sitter the evening of the incident of the spanking. The LPN stated, "When I arrived to work the next day at 2:30 p.m., I was informed the weekend sitter was back with the resident and worked the entire shift." She then reported the DON had also come to work about 2:30 p.m., and she had told the DON the weekend sitter had been observed spanking the resident. The LPN stated after she had informed the DON, on 06/10/12 p.m., of the spanking, the DON had told me to call the charge sitter, because the sitters are not our employees. The LPN stated she had been able to reach the charge sitter about 10:00 p.m., that same evening on 06/10/12. The LPN reported the weekend sitter had worked her entire shift the day she had been observed spanking the resident and had also worked her whole shift the next day. She reported the charge sitter terminated the weekend sitter on Monday (06/11/12). The issue was not addressed until the second day after the incident. The facility took no steps to protect the resident. On 11/09/12 at 4:00 p.m., the ADM was interviewed regarding investigations of the bruising. He reported he did not hold his DON accountable for investigating bruising. The facility could not provide any investigations for the incident on 06/09/12, of the weekend sitter spanking the resident or any conclusions for the multiple bruises. 2. Resident #19 had been admitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A BIMS (brief interview for mental status), dated 08/19/12, documented: "Resident unable or unwilling to participate." A significant change assessment, dated 08/20/12, documented the resident had inadequate short and long term memory, had severely impaired cognition, had continuous behaviors that did not fluctuate, had disorganized thinking, altered level of consciousness, psychomotor [MEDICAL CONDITION], was not ambulatory, was totally dependent on the staff for all ADL's and was always incontinent of bowel and bladder.

Provide reassurance when he/she attempts to communicate...Speak facing him/her in simple phrases...Allow adequate time for response... Problem: Expected decline- Resident is expected to decline and requires Hospice care due to a terminal condition..." On 10/10/12 at 12:20 p.m., a nurse's note documented, "Resident was in dining room a lunch aide was feeding him & was shaking him to wake him to eat. But it appeared to be abusive report to DON. She stated she will take care of it." The incident/accident reports were reviewed for the shaking and verbally abusive behavior observed by LPN #1 on 10/10/12. There was no incident/accident written for the incident. LPN #1 who had written the nurse's note on 10/10/12, was interviewed. She was asked to identify the CNA addressed in the nurse's note. The LPN identified (Name deleted CNA #2). (Name deleted CNA #2) employee records were reviewed. The record contained seven employee warnings related to the care of the residents by CNA #2. The employee record contained employee warnings that documented the following: On 01/17/12: "...Specific areas of needed improvement: Needs to work on tone of voice, less aggressive in tone while providing care to our resident & talking to family members. Recommendations for profession development (seminars, training, schooling, etc.): Needs to attend counseling sessions offered by company to help deal with personal issues." On 10/10/12: "Description of Violation: Reported being too rough with resident at lunch while attempting to feed him. Were shaking head & shoulder & talking loudly. Actions to be Taken: Suspension for 2 days without pay. If happens again suspension up to termination. Discussed with (Name deleted CNA #2), but she refused to sign." On 11/08/12 at 5:25 p.m., the resident was observed sitting in a G/C in the dining room. The resident was being spoonfed by a CNA. On 11/09/12 at 12:00 p.m., LPN #1 who had made the entry in the nurses' notes on 10/10/12, was interviewed. The LPN was asked to describe the incident that had occurred on 10/10/12, with (Name deleted resident #19) and (Name deleted CNA #2). The LPN stated, "(Name deleted CNA #2) was sitting next to (Name deleted resident #19) in the dining room. The LPN reported the CNA put her arm around the resident's shoulder and was observed to be pulling him side to side, and talking very loudly to the resident. The CNA's voice could be heard all over the dining room and other staff and residents were looking at what was going on between the resident and the CNA. The LPN then stated the CNA put the heel of her hand to the side of the resident's head and pushed the resident twice. The LPN reported she immediately went to the CNA and told her to go feed another resident to get her away from (Name deleted resident #19). The LPN stated as soon as lunch was over she went to the DON and reported the incident. The LPN stated the CNA had been overheard by staff and families talking gruff with other residents. She stated the CNA had worked for awhile as a shower aide, but had recently been pulled from doing the showers. She did not know why. The LPN reported there were four residents/families that had requested the CNA not to assist with their care. The LPN reported they had switched the CNA around, so the CNA would not be taking care of those residents. On 11/09/12 at 12:30 p.m., CMA #1 was interviewed. The CMA had been reported as witnessing the incident in the dining room on 10/10/12, between the resident and CNA #2. The CMA was asked to describe her observation. She reported from where she was standing she saw the resident's chair shaking and heard CNA #2 talking loudly to the resident. At 2:00 p.m., the DON was interviewed regarding the incident between resident #19 and CNA #2. She was asked if she had been aware of the incident and if she had conducted an investigation of the allegation of abuse. The DON reported she had come to the conclusion that the shaking and yelling at the resident should not have occurred. The DON reported LPN #1 had reported the incident to her about 1:00 p.m., the same day of the incident. The DON reported she had talked to CNA #2 about 2:15 p.m., the same day and written her an "Employee Warning Notice", but she had refused to sign it. The DON reported the CNA was rougher in care, but she never meant any harm to the residents. The DON was asked if she had reported the allegation of abuse to OSDH or reported the incident to the family and/or physician. She stated she did not report the incident to anyone and she did not document an investigation of the incident. The time card for CNA #2 dated 10/10/12 (Wednesday), documented the CNA had worked from 6:33 a.m. until 2:57 p.m., her normal shift hours. The incident had been observed during the noon meal. The CNA continued to provide care until the end of her shift at 3:00 p.m. The time card did not document the CNA as working on 10/11/12 (Thursday) or 10/12/12 (Friday) and had been off with pay on 10/15/12 (Monday). On 11/09/12 at 2:20 p.m., the DON was asked what steps had she taken to protect the residents even though she did not do an investigation. The DON reported she had suspended the CNA for two days without pay and given her a 'Final Warning.' The DON reported she had also reassigned the CNA to a different hall when she returned to work on 10/16/12 (Tuesday). On 11/09/12 at 2:30 p.m., an unidentified resident's family was interviewed. The family had been identified as requesting CNA #2 not to provide care for their family member. The family member was asked about staff treatment of [REDACTED]. The family member reported they had requested (CNA #2's Name deleted) not provide care for their family member. But they had recently noticed the CNA had, "worked her way back around" and was now providing care again to their family member. The family member was asked why they had made the request. They reported the CNA had a bad attitude and had been observed being rough when handling their family member. On 11/09/12 at 3:00 p.m., the ADM was interviewed regarding the incident that had occurred on 10/10/12, between CNA #2 and the resident. The ADM was asked if he had been aware of the incident. He said he had knowledge of the incident, but knew the CNA was a good employee and had been with them for years, so he had not been concerned. At 3:30 p.m., the DON was asked if she had thoroughly investigated the incident. She reported she had talked to LPN #1 and CNA #2, but had not documented anything or reported the incident to OSDH. On 11/13/12 at 11:30 a.m., the DON stated she still needed to in-service two additional staff members. The DON stated she had terminated CNA #2, accused of abusive behaviors to a resident, on 11/12/12 at 6:30 a.m. On 11/13/12 at 12:00 p.m., the DON presented the following documentation to the survey team: "On October 10, 2012 it was reported to me by the charge nurse (Name deleted LPN #1), that (Name deleted CNA #2) was being 'rough with (Name deleted resident #19) in the dining room.' (Name deleted LPN #1) stated she was talking loud to (Name deleted resident #19) in attempts to get him to eat lunch. She was touching him on his head trying to get him to wake up to eat. I asked (Name deleted LPN #1) what she meant about touching & she replied (Name deleted CNA #2) was punching on the side of his head to try to wake him up to eat. She stated that other residents were looking at (Name deleted CNA #2) in regard to her being loud. (Name deleted LPN #1) said to ask (Name deleted CMA #1) about it because she had witnessed the event. (Name deleted CNA #2) was removed from the table feeding (Name deleted resident #19) after she had gotten loud. I talked to (Name deleted CMA #1) & she said that (Name deleted CNA #2) was not being that rough with (Name deleted resident #19) that she was trying to wake him up to eat. '(Name deleted CNA #2) doesn't mean any harm to (Name deleted resident #19), she just wants him to eat. She was able to get him to eat.' I spoke to (Name deleted CNA #2) in my office in regards to her talking loud & shaking (Name deleted resident #19) to wake him. I explained at that time that her behavior could be interpreted as abuse by another resident or family member even though she was trying to get him to eat. I told her that her tone of voice sounds gruff because it is harsh sounding. (Name deleted CNA #2) stated she understood. I did suspend her for 2 days without pay & told her to go home & think about the fact that I told her that any & all actions she said or did could be being watched by any family or staff or resident & could be mistaken as abuse. (Name deleted CNA #2) was terminated at 6:30 AM on 11/12/12 by the director of nurses with (LPN #1 Name deleted) present in regard to the incident described as above." On 11/13/12 at 12:30 p.m., the DON was asked if she had interviewed other staff and residents while investigating the allegation of CNA #2 being abusive to resident #19. The DON reported she had only interviewed the three staff members involved in the allegation.
On 11/08/12 at 4:45 p.m., an Immediate Jeopardy situation was determined to exist due to the facility's failure to protect residents and investigate alleged abuse. At 4:50 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified and the IJ situation was verified. At 5:00 p.m., the Administrator and Director of Nursing were notified of the IJ situation. On 11/09/12 at 4:46 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was presented to the survey team. The facility's plan of removal was as follows: "The Tulsa Jewish Retirement and Healthcare Center will immediately implement a comprehensive In-Service training program on screening, identifying, reporting, and preventing elder abuse. The first training will be today, 11/8/12, on the 3-11 shift. Similar training will take place tonight for the 11-7 shift and again tomorrow for the 7-3 shift. Attendees will understand the facility policy on elder abuse. Further, they will have a clear understanding of how to identify abuse, report abuse, investigate and subsequently prevent or protect the residents from abuse. Any employee not scheduled to work in the next 24 hour period will be in-serviced prior to engaging residents. The facility policy on abuse will be corrected as discussed with the survey team. Specifically, section 3.1 will read, "Any suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation is to be reported to your immediate supervisor and/or the Director of Nurses and the Administrator immediately." Section 3.2 will read, "An Incident report is completed and given to the Director of Nursing and/or the Administrator during the shift in which the incident occurred..." Section 3.3 will read, "A thorough investigation will be initiated..." The entire policy will be re-written and available to the Survey Team on Friday November 9th, 2012. The plan of removal was signed by the Administrator. On 11/09/12 at 2:45 p.m., an additional allegation of staff to resident abuse was discovered through record review. At 3:00 p.m., OSDH was notified and verified the continuance of the IJ situation. At 3:10 p.m., the Administrator and the Director of Nursing were informed of the continued IJ situation. On 11/09/12 at 4:46 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was accepted. This was an addendum that had been added to the first plan of removal and documented the following: "Additionally, the employee who allegedly abused a resident has been removed from the facility and will not be permitted back to work until a complete investigation can be performed. Once the case has been resolved, the final report will be submitted to the proper agencies." The immediate jeopardy was removed as of 11/09/12 at 3:00 p.m., after staff had been inserviced and CNA #2 had finished her shift and left the building. The deficient practice remained at actual harm at a pattern. Based on observation, record review, and interviews, it was determined the administrator failed to: a) Administer the facility in a manner to enable residents to reside in an environment free from abuse. b) Ensure allegations of abuse were immediately acted upon, and to ensure protective measures were put into place and a thorough investigation was conducted. c) Ensure the abuse policies were utilized as effective tools against abuse including the protection of the residents, investigation, and reporting to the proper entities. d) Ensure an effective QA program was provided to identify problems and concerns and correct quality deficiencies. This had the potential to affect 55 of 55 residents who resided in the facility. Findings: Based on record review, observation, and family, residents and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to: a) Protect residents and investigate allegations of abuse for two (#9 and #19) of 12 residents sampled for abuse. b) Put preventive measures in place to prevent recurrence for two (#9 and #19) of 12 residents sampled for abuse. c) Report allegations of abuse to the appropriate state agencies for two (#9 and #19) of 12 residents sampled for abuse This had the likelihood to affect all 55 of 55 residents residing in the facility. This resulted in an IJ situation. Refer to F225 In addition, based on record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to implement their abuse policy/procedure by failing to: a) thoroughly investigate allegations of abuse for two (#9 and #19) of 12 residents sampled for abuse. b) Put protective/preventive measures in place to protect residents from abuse and prevent recurrence for two (#9 and #19) of 12 residents sampled for abuse. c) Report allegations of abuse to the appropriate state agencies for one (#19) of 12 residents sampled for abuse. d) Check the state's abuse registry in regard to newly hired non-technical service workers. e) Check the state's nurse aide registry in regard to newly hired nurse aides. This had the likelihood to affect all 55 residents. This resulted in an IJ situation. Refer to F226 In addition, based on record review and interview, it was determined the facility failed to: a) Ensure an effective quality assessment and assurance program was in place to identify problems and develop and implement plans of action to correct quality deficiencies. b) Identify and implement a plan of action to correct system failures related to identifying abusive behaviors and ensuring interventions were initiated to prevent further abuse. Refer to F520
Based on record reviews, observation and interviews, it was determined the facility failed to: a) Identify safety hazards and implement appropriate interventions necessary to prevent recurrence of injuries for two (#10 and #14) of nine sampled residents. This caused harm to the two residents. This had the potential to affect three residents with falls during July 2012, 18 residents with falls during the month of August 2012, and nine residents with falls during the month of November 2012, identified by the DON. b) Provide transfer assistance in a safe manner for two (#9 and #19) of four sampled residents non-weight bearing and observed being transferred. This had the potential to affect five residents identified by the DON as being non-weight bearing and requiring assistance for transfers. Findings: 1.
