**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to provide resident-centered care for one resident (R3) who required rehabilitation services status post-surgical fusion of the lumbar spine, as evidenced by lack of physician orders for spinal precautions; no care plan intervention related to spinal precautions or back brace use; improper use of mobility devices and inadequate assessment of medication management. Findings include: R3 was admitted on [DATE] post a lumber fusion surgery and a history of Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (Heartburn/Indigestion/GERD). On 4/23/24, the facility received R3's Hospital Transfer Papers which documented Up to chair 3 (three) times per day. Spine brace (back brace designed to give support to thoracic and lumbar spine by preventing twisting and flexion (bending forward) to be worn while up ambulating. Does not need to be worn while up in chair or bed. On 4/24/24, The Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Evaluation and Plan of Treatment documented Precaution Details: ** Spine Brace to be worn while patient is up doing transfers and/or ambulating. Does not need to be worn while in bed or chair. SPINAL PRECAUTIONS- NO BLT (NO BENDING, LIFTING more than 7 pounds), OR TWISTING. FALL RISK, 8/10 pain in right hip and bilateral knees. The evaluation documented R3 required substantial/maximal assistance with bed mobility, partial/moderate assistance with transfers and was dependent on staff with ambulation. On 4/24/24, R3's Care plan documented R3 has limited physical mobility related to surgical aftercare, spinal stenosis and lacked interventions related to the Spinal Precautions and use of Spine brace. On 4/25/24, a Physician's Order for Spine Brace on when resident up every shift was implemented although lacked a physician's order for Spinal Precautions and to elevate the head of the bed to facilitate breathing. As of 5/6/24, the Order Summary lacked documentation of Spinal Precautions. On 4/25/24, a Physician's Order for WOUND: Back- Keep incision clean, dry and intact until follow up appointment, monitor for signs and symptoms of infection.' On 5/6/24 at 12:10 PM, R3 was sitting in a wheelchair with Spine brace on; R3 had a hand over forehead, head down and grimacing; pulling and moving brace around. R3 stated It (Spine brace) hurts. It's pushing on my belly, and I feel sick to my stomach. I'm not supposed to have this thing (brace) on when I'm in the wheelchair. It's just digging into me and hurting my back. At 12:38 PM, R3 was observed sitting in a wheelchair with brace on. At 1:04 PM, R3 was sitting in a wheelchair with brace on. At 1:10 PM, V13 (Certified Nurse Aide) was observed to enter R3's room. Upon entrance V13 had hooked R3's sling up to the mechanical lift. V13 stated I need to go get a spotter. R3 and R5 (R3's roommate) both stated V13 got R3 and R5 both up by V13 only this morning. At 1:20 PM, R3 was lifted into bed by V13 and V14 (Certified Nurse Aide) via mechanical lift with the Spine brace on. V13 stated to V14 V15 (Physical Therapy) took R3's brace off this morning and I put the brace (R3's Spine brace) back on wrong. R3 was positioned in bed in supine position without the head of the bed elevated. At 3:08 PM, R3 stated R3's pain level was at an eight (0- no pain and 10- worst pain). R3 stated The brace rubbed on my back incision. I'm still waiting for the gals to come put me on my side. I've been on my back since I got back in bed. I have indigestion so bad; I feel like there's a big heavy lump here (pointed to upper sternum). At home I drink milk and take Pepcid, but I've asked for some milk and haven't gotten anything yet. I called V10 (Healthcare Power of Attorney) earlier when they left me up in the chair and told V10. V10 called the front desk and told them to put me back in bed. That's why they (staff) came in (at 1:20 PM to put R3 back in bed). At 3:25 PM, V16 (Licensed Practical Nurse) was at the nurse's station and was informed that R3 was requesting to be turned and to conduct a dressing check/skin assessment.

The Interim Care Plan will guide all resident care until the Interdisciplinary Care Plan is developed. This same policy documents the Interim Care Plan should include resident medications. 1. R359's current admission Record documents R359 admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R359's current Medication Review Report documents an order for Insulin Aspart Subcutaneous Solution Pen-Injector 100 units/ml (per milliliter) per sliding scale with an order start date of 10/3/2023, and an order for the anticoagulant medication Warfarin Sodium 6 milligram tablet via Gastrostomy Tube with an order start date of 10/3/2023. R359's Baseline Care Plan, dated 10/3/2023, Section D documents Medications Resident is Taking. The boxes Insulin and Anticoagulants are not marked. On 10/11/23 at 9:00 AM, V14 (Licensed Practical Nurse) entered R359's bedroom and administered three units of insulin subcutaneously to R359's right lower quadrant. As of 10/11/23, R359's Interim Care Plan did not document R359's insulin, or anticoagulant medications. On 10/12/2023 at 11:29 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated insulin and anticoagulant medications should be documented on the resident's baseline care plan by the admitting nurse. At this time, V2 verified R359's base line care plan did not document R359's insulin, or anticoagulant medications. 2. On 10/10/23 at 11:10am and 10/12/23 at 9:19am, R309's CPAP was on the right side of her bed. On 10/10/23 at 11:10am, R309 stated I take care of my own CPAP and wear it at night, I have had it since I got here. R309's current care plan does not have R309's CPAP documented. On 10/13/23 at 1:02 PM, V2 RN/Registered Nurse DON/Director of Nursing verified R309's care plan did not include her CPAP use.

Based on record review and interview the facility failed to maintain an accurate Care Plan for one resident (R12) of 25 reviewed for care plan accuracy in a total sample of 45. Findings Include: The Facility's Care Plan policy dated 6/23 documents each resident will have a plan of care to identify problems, needs and strengths that will identify how the interdisciplinary team will provide care. The resident care plan is the tool used to coordinate all care provided to the resident to be sure care is necessary, appropriate and planned to meet the individual needs of the resident consonant with the physicians plan of care. On 10/10/23 at 10:30 AM, R12 stated (Staff) don't ever get me up. I would like to be out and about more. They say I refuse but I have never refused to get up. I have never refused anything. R12's Current Care Plan, dated 8/15/22, documents (R12) has a behavior of refusing to be turned and to get up from bed. R12's medical record does not contain any documentation regarding R12 ever refusing to get out of bed or refusing to be turned while in bed. R12's MDS (Minimum Data Set), dated 8/11/23, documents R12's BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) Score to be 15/15 indicating R12 is cognitively intact. R12's MDS also documents no mood or behavior problems. On 10/11/23 at 2:00 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) confirmed that R12's medical record did not contain any documentation of refusal to get out bed or be turned and re-positioned in bed. R12's Current Care Plan, dated 8/15/22, documents (R12) has a behavior of refusing all supplements/enhanced foods, and has weight loss as a result. R12's Current Physician Order Sheet, dated October 2023, documents Enhanced cereal every breakfast, and enhanced potatoes every lunch time. R12's medical record does not contain any documentation regarding R12 ever refusing her enhanced foods or supplements. On 10/11/23 at 1:30 PM V7 (Dietary Manager) stated (R12) does not like protein shakes, other supplements she will accept. Her care plan is wrong. R12's Current Care Plan, dated 8/15/23, documents (R12) has a behavior of refusal of medications. R12's medical record does not contain any documentation regarding R12 ever refusing any medications. On 10/11/23 at 2:00 PM V2 DON confirmed that R12's medical record did not contain any documentation of R12's refusal to take medications. V2 stated I don't know where that came from. It needs to come off the care plan.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to perform recommended exercises for one (R12) of four residents reviewed for mobility in a total sample of 45. Findings Include: The Facility's Range of Motion dated 9/2018 documents the purpose of the policy is to provide resident with limited range of motion appropriate treatment and services to increase or prevent further decrease range of motion. Policy: all residents will be assessed on admission and quarterly, or more often as a change of condition warrants, for risk factors for development of contractures. A program will be developed based on the resident's unique risk factors and involving formalized therapy as applicable. Any ROM will be reflected in the interdisciplinary care plan and will be systematically and consistently followed. It is the responsibility of the CNA (Certified Nurse Aide) to perform exercises as identified. R12's Therapy to Nursing Recommendations, dated 8/25/22, documents Passive Range of Motion to (Both) Lower Extremities 2-3 times per week to prevent contracture formation. Encourage Active Range of motion to (Both) Upper Extremities as tolerated. R12's Electronic Medical Record, dated 9/30/23, documents under Task: Range of Motion. Nursing to encourage resident to participate in PROM (Passive Range of Motion) to (Both) LE (Lower Extremities) 3 times per week and AROM (Active Range of Motion) to (Both) UE (Upper Extremities). On 10/10/23, V16 (R12's Family Member/Health Care Power of Attorney) stated (R12)'s insurance only pays for her to get skilled therapy for so many days per year, otherwise she is dependent on (Facility Staff) to exercise her legs for her, and they do not do that on a regular basis. On 10/10/23 at 11:00 AM, R12 stated I need to be exercising my body, especially my legs because I have MS (Multiple Sclerosis). They (Staff) don't exercise me at all. On 10/11/23 at 10:15 AM, V17 (Certified Nurse Aide) stated (in the presence of R12) I can only do her exercises when we have enough staff, usually we do not. I don't have time today.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure Enhanced Barrier Precautions were maintained for a resident with a Gastrostomy Tube/G-Tube and the facility failed to wear gloves while administering medications through a G-Tube for one of three residents (R359) reviewed for gastrostomy tubes in the sample of 45. Findings include: The facility's Tube Feeding (Administration of Medication) Policy dated 8/2017 states, Procedure: 4. Wash hands. Apply gloves. The facility's Gloves (Use) Policy revised 8/20 states, Policy: Gloves will be used per Standard Precautions, isolation precautions, and according to the CDC/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Guidelines. Gloves will be worn to prevent the spread of infection and disease to residents and employees, protect wounds from contamination, protect hands from potentially infectious materials, and to prevent exposure to the HIV/Human Immunodeficiency Virus (AIDS) acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Hepatitis B viruses from blood or body fluids. Procedure: 4. Nonsterile gloves should be used primarily to prevent the contamination of the employee's hands when providing treatment or services to the resident and when cleaning contaminated surfaces. 7. When to Use Gloves: A. When touching excretions, secretions, blood, body fluids, mucous membranes, or non-intact skin. C. When cleaning up spills or splashes of blood or body fluids. The facility's Enteral Tube Feeding Policy dated 8/23 states, Procedure: 4. Wash hands. Apply gloves. The facility's Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) policy dated 10/21/2022 states, General: EBP expand the use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and refer to the use of gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for transfer of MDROs (Multi Drug Resistant Organisms) to staff hands and clothing. MDROs may be indirectly transferred from resident-to-resident during these high-contact care activities. Nursing home residents with wounds and indwelling medical devices are at especially high risk of both acquisition of and colonization with MDROs. The use of gown and gloves for high-contact resident care activities is indicated, when Contact Precautions do not otherwise apply, for nursing home residents with wounds and/or indwelling medical devices, regardless of MDRO colonization, as well as, for residents with MDRO infection or colonization. Policy: EBP requires the use of gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for transfer of MDROs to staff hands and clothing. Use of eye protection may be necessary when splash or spray may occur, but it is not necessary in other situations. High contact resident care activities requiring gown and glove use among residents that trigger EBP use include Device care or use: central line, urinary catheter, feeding tube, tracheostomy/ventilator. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/CDC's Enhanced Barrier Precautions Door Sign documents: STOP, everyone must clean their hands including before entering and when leaving the room; providers and staff must also wear gloves and a gown for following high-contact resident care activities including providing hygiene and device care (Feeding Tube). R359's admission Note, dated 10/03/2023, documents R359 is NPO (Nothing by Mouth) with continuous tube feedings. R359's Skilled Nursing Charting Note, dated 10/04/2023, documents R359 intakes calories via G-Tube. R359's current Physician Order Sheet documents the following: R359's NPO status, R359's G-Tube care, Jevity 1.5 at 60 milliliters/ml per hour continuously, and Enhanced Barrier Precautions in place during high-contact care activities that provides opportunities for transfer of MDROs from/to high risk residents with wounds and/or indwelling medical device that are at especially high risk for both acquisition of and colonization of MDROs. On 10/11/2023 at 9:20AM, The CDC's Enhanced Barrier Precautions sign was taped on the outside of R359's door. At this time, without wearing a gown or gloves V14 (Licensed Practical Nurse) entered R359's room to administer R359's prepared G-Tube (Gastrostomy Tube) medications. Without wearing a gown or gloves, V14 performed the following: disconnected R359's tube feeding, connected a bolus syringe to R359's G-Tube, aspirated for G-Tube contents, administered R359's medications flushing with water in between each one, primed the tubing of a new tube feeding bottle, and reconnected R359's tube feeding to R359's G-Tube. Upon V14 initially disconnecting R359's tube feeding, gastric contents splattered out of R359's G-Tube where V14 was holding the tube with an ungloved hand. On 10/11/2023 at 9:26AM, without handwashing, V14 swiped the hair from the left side of her face touching her cheek with V14's soiled hand. On 10/11/2023 at 9:39AM, V14 verified V14 did not wear gloves or gown while administering R359's G-Tube medications, or while connecting/disconnecting R359's tube feedings. V14 stated that V14 does not wear gloves when administrating G-Tube medications. On 10/12/2023 at 12:25PM, V4 (Registered Nurse/Infection Preventionist) verified V14 should have worn gloves and a gown prior to entering R359's room, and when managing R359's G-Tube.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to obtain orders for a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) use for one (R309) of one residents reviewed for oxygen use in a sample of 45. Findings include: Facility Oxygen Administration, revised 2/21, documents Oxygen therapy will be administered to the resident only upon the written order of a licensed physician. R309's facility record documents an admission date of 10/2/23, and R309 has the diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. R309's Inventory of Personal Effects, undated, documents CPAP. R309's Medication Review Report dated 10/11/23 has no documented orders for R309's CPAP. On 10/10/23 at 11:10am and 10/12/23 at 9:19am, R309's room had an oxygen sign on door, and R309's CPAP was on the right side of her bed. On 10/10/23 at 11:10am, R309 stated I take care of my own CPAP and wear it at night, I have had it since I got here. On 10/12/23 at 9:40am, V11 Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN stated I don't work midnights so I would not sign off on the CPAP. There is no order for (R309's) CPAP. On 10/12/23 at 10:00am, V3 RN/Registered Nurse ADON/Assistant Director of Nursing stated, I don't have an order for (R309's) CPAP, it must be a home machine, and I will get the settings and get an order in for her.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a physician ordered narcotic medication for pain control was available on admission for one (R260) of three residents reviewed for pain in a sample of 45. Findings include: The facility's Management of Pain policy, revised 8/19, documents Policy: Our mission is to facilitate resident independence, promote resident comfort and preserve resident dignity. The purpose of this policy is to accomplish that mission through an effective pain management program, providing our residents the means to receive necessary comfort, exercise greater independence, and enhance dignity and life involvement. We will achieve these goals through: Promptly and accurately assessing and diagnosing pain. Increasing comfort and reducing depression and anxiety in residents. On 10/10/23, at 10:15am, R260 is lying in bed with a cast noted to his right leg. R260 stated the following: (On admission) I had to wait for pain medication (Oxycodone) to get here. It is the only pain medicine that works for me. I came here last Monday (October 2) from the hospital after surgery on my fractured right ankle. My pain was at a six (out of 10). R260 stated I had to wait quite a while and felt like sh**. My pain went up to an eight. That night wasn't funny. R260's current Physician Order Sheet/POS includes a primary diagnosis of fracture of right lower leg, closed fracture, and a secondary diagnosis of fracture of upper and lower end of unspecified fibula, closed fracture. R260's Minimum Data Sheet/MDS, dated [DATE], documents R260 is cognitively intact. R260's After Visit Summary/AVS, dated 9/18/23 - 10/2/23, documents a physician order for Oxycodone 10mg two tablets every six hours as needed for pain. On 10/12/23, at 1:15pm, V1 Administrator confirmed the admission time for R260 was at 11:55am on 10/2/23. R260's Nursing admission Assessment, dated 10/2/23, documents R260 has pain in his right lower leg (front) rated 7/10. R260's Medication Administration Record/MAR, dated October 2023, documents R260's pain level was 8/10 on evening shift 10/2/23 and 8/10 on day shift 10/3/23. The facility's billing report from the medication dispensary, dated 10/12/23, documents that V4 Infection Control Preventionist retrieved Oxycodone 10mg four tablets from the dispensary to give to R260 on 10/3/23 at 11:09am. The facility's Proof of Delivery List Report dated 10/12/23, documents R260's Oxycodone 10mg tablets were delivered on 10/3/23 at 3:06pm. On 10/13/23, at 9:15am, V15 Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN confirmed that R260 admitted just before noon on 10/10/23 with a fractured leg. V15 stated the following: There was a hang up with the pharmacy receiving the script (for R260's Oxycodone). They have to have it physically in their hands. I faxed it as soon as (R260) got here, but for some reason they weren't receiving it. (R260) rated his pain a seven (on the pain scale 0-10). The hospital sent a script for the Norco (Hydrocodone) but didn't send any signed script for the Oxycodone. (R260) said that Tylenol would do nothing and said that the Norco (Hydrocodone) won't do much for his pain either. (R260) preferred Oxycodone which is the only thing that helps his pain. It wasn't until I read (R260's) AVS (After Visit Summary) that I saw (R260) had an order for Oxycodone, but no script for it .There is a lack of communication between the doctor, pharmacy and us when trying to get a signed script. (R260's) dose of 10mg two tablets was not in our (medication dispensary) so we had to get a doctor order for (R260's) dose in order to pull it from the (medication dispensary). By this time, it was the following day when (R260) got the Oxycodone. On 10/13/23, at 10:05am, V2 Director of Nursing/DON stated that a lot of times they have to fight with the doctor and the pharmacy and sometimes even the hospital to get signed scripts for narcotics. The doctor often won't sign it because they haven't seen the resident yet so will come in the next day and sign it. It shouldn't be this long of a wait time to get the signed script and the medication here especially for a noon admission. We try to get the liaison to be sure there are signed scripts, but it doesn't always happen.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide an appropriate indication for use of an antipsychotic medication for one resident (R25) with a diagnosis of Dementia and failed to ensure prn (as needed) physician orders for an anti-anxiety medication did not exceed 90 days for one resident (R92) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications in the sample of 45. Findings include: Facility Policy/Antipsychotic Drugs dated 8/2017 documents: Residents will not receive antipsychotic medications unless they have one or more of the following specific conditions: Schizophrenia Schizo-Affective Disorder Delusional Disorder Psychotic Mood Disorders (including Mania and Depression with Psychotic features) Acute Psychotic Episodes Brief Reactive Psychosis Schizophreniform Disorder Atypical Psychosis Tourette's Syndrome Huntington's Disease Organic Mental Syndromes (Delirium, Dementia, Amnestic) with associated psychotic and/or agitated behaviors which: Have been qualitatively and objectively documented, are persistent, and not caused by preventable reasons. Causing the resident to present a danger to self or others, continuously scream, yell or pace, if these behaviors cause an impairment in functional capacity, or experience psychotic symptoms (hallucinations, paranoia, delusions) but not exhibited as dangerous behaviors. Facility Policy/Psychotropic Medication Protocol dated/revised 2/2021 documents: Residents shall only be given antipsychotic drugs when clinically indicated according to appropriate diagnosis and physician's order. 1. On 10/10/23 and 10/11/23, R25 was in the Memory Care dining room during activities and meals. R25 would periodically yell out vocalizations. Yelling behavior was not loud, was not constant, and did not appear to disrupt the milieu. Current Medical Diagnosis list indicates R25 has a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease dated 1/1/23, Dementia with Other Behavioral Disturbance dated 1/1/23, and Bipolar Disorder dated 8/24/22 (diagnosed at [AGE] years old). Current Physician Orders indicate R25 was admitted in 2018, is [AGE] years old, and receives quetiapine (antipsychotic) 25mg (milligrams) at bedtime for behaviors related to Dementia with Other Behavioral Disturbance, and Bipolar Disorder (Unspecified) dated 5/12/23.

On 10/12/23 at 10:40am, V12 Memory Care Director/RN stated that the nurse administering a prn (as needed medication) should be documenting the actual behaviors in the nurse progress notes. On 10/13/23 at 11:45pm, V3 ADON (Assistant Director of Nursing) stated We increased R92's alprazolam to every four hours today and I noticed the order was for 90 days. I knew that wasn't right so we changed the order (dated 10/13/23) to 14 days. V3 also stated that the nurse administering a prn should document in the progress note. V3 was unable to provide any documentation explaining the reason alprazolam was being administered to R92 and was unable to justify the increase to every four hours from every eight hours.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to obtain physician ordered laboratory results for one of 25 residents (R359) reviewed for physician orders in the sample of 45. Findings include: The facilities Anticoagulant Therapy Policy dated 08/02/2017, states, Policy; All residents on anticoagulant therapy shall have their medications monitored monthly, unless otherwise ordered by a physician. Procedure: 1. All residents on Coumadin should have an order for a monthly prothrombin time (unless ordered sooner by MD/Medical Doctor.) R359's current admission Record documents R359's diagnoses to included but not limited to: Permanent Atrial Fibrillation, Heart Failure, and Peripheral Vascular Disease. R359's Medication Review Report, dated 9/04/2023 to 10/31/2023, documents R359 is currently prescribed the blood thinning medication Warfarin Sodium daily for DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) prevention. This same report documents an order for an INR (International Normalized Ratio) to be obtained on 10/10/23. As of 10/11/2023 at 12:45PM, R359's PT (Prothrombin Time)/INR/Coumadin (Warfarin) Flowsheet did not document a PT/INR lab result for 10/10/23. On 10/11/2023 at 12:45PM, V4 (Registered Nurse) verified R359's PT/INR was not obtained on 10/10/23 and should have been. V4 stated V4 changed R359's order to be obtained on 10/11/23 since the order was not completed on 10/10/2023. V4 stated V4 would obtain R359's PT/INR result now. On 10/11/23 at 1:20 PM, after obtaining R359's PT/INR result, V4 stated that R359's PT/INR resulted back as high and R359's Coumadin will be held for two days. R359's PT (Prothrombin Time)/INR/Coumadin (Warfarin) Flowsheet on 10/11/23 documents a PT result of 49.9 seconds and documents a Normal PT equals 10-13 seconds. R359's INR result is documented as 4.8. This same sheet on 10/11/23, documents Dose Change: Hold times two days.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to consistently offer/provide bedtime snacks to six residents (R8, R14, R27, R43, R63, R93) which include the Resident Council President (R8) of 16 residents reviewed for bedtime snacks in the sample of 45. Findings include: Facility policy/Bedtime Snacks dated 8/2017 documents: To ensure that residents are offered bedtime snacks daily. All residents within the facility shall be offered a snack at bedtime. Charge Nurse and Nursing Assistants will offer snacks to all residents every evening prior to bedtime.

Six residents (R8, R14, R27, R43, R63, R93) including the Resident Council President (R8) stated they were not consistently offered or provided with bedtime snacks. R8, R63 and R93 stated the kitchen puts out snacks at the nurse's station but the CNA's don't consistently offer or pass out. R63 stated there have been two residents who will take all of the snacks back to their room and the staff don't replace them. On 10/12/23 at 2:40pm, V19 CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) identified herself as a 2nd shift CNA. At that time V19 stated she's usually on break when the snacks need to be passed I'm not usually around to do that. The snacks are set out at the nurse's station. If they ask, I'll bring it to them. On 10/12/23 at 2:45pm, V20 CNA stated certain residents automatically get snacks and the other snacks are saved for residents who might have blood sugar problems. On 10/12/23 at 2:50pm, V18 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated sometimes residents come from other units to get snacks before bed because there are a couple residents who will take all the snacks for themselves.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow their facility policy, and ensure that a resident had a physician order for medications that were stored at the bedside along with an assessment for self-administration of medications for two of four residents (R2 and R3) reviewed for self-administration of medication in a sample of four. Findings include: The facility's Self-Administration of Medication Policy dated 8/2017 documents it is the responsibility of the Interdisciplinary Team/IDT to assess and determine if those residents who request to self-medicate can do so. This same policy states, Procedure: A resident may not be permitted to administer or retain any medication in his/her room unless so ordered by the physician. 2. Should the resident's attending physician permit the resident to administer his/her medications, the following conditions will apply: A. The IDT will evaluate the resident's cognitive, physical, and visual ability to self-medicate using the Assessment Form for Self-Administration of Medications. B. The Care Plan will reflect the program of each resident. C. Storage of medication may be in the resident's room or in the locked medication cart. D. Only the medications permitted for self-administration shall be left at the bedside. 1. R2's Medication Review Report documents R2 with a diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease/COPD and an order with a start date of 7/17/23 for Symbicort Inhalation Aerosol 160-4.5 MCG/ACT (Micrograms per Actuation). Two puffs inhale orally two times a day for COPD. R2's Minimum Data Set/MDS assessment dated [DATE] documents R2 as cognitively intact. On 9/14/23 at 1:04 PM, R2 was sitting up in R2's bed with oxygen via nasal cannula in place. R2 was alert and able to answer questions well. R2's bedside table was pulled across the bed in front of R2. Lying on top of the bedside table was R2's Symbicort inhaler. At this time, R2 stated that R2 keeps R2's Symbicort inhaler in R2's room so that R2 can use the inhaler when needed. R2 stated R2 has always kept his inhaler in R2's room and that R2 notifies the nursing staff when R2 uses R2's inhaler. R2 stated R2 has COPD and stated the Symbicort Inhaler helps R2 breathe better. As of 9/14/23 at 1:00 PM, R2's medical records did not contain a physician order for R2 to keep medications at R2's bedside and did not contain an assessment for self-administration of medications. R2's Care Plan did not contain documentation regarding R2's ability to self-administer medications or to keep medications at R2's bedside.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure resident wheelchairs were clean for one (R13) of 39 residents reviewed for homelike environment in the sample of 39. Findings include: The Cleaning of Equipment (wheelchairs) policy dated 7/1/22, documents non-removable covers and fabrics on your wheelchair can be vacuumed and then wiped down with disinfectant wipes or a damp cloth and left to dry. In the case of accidental spills and stains, cleaning with disinfectant wipes or a damp cloth may help until a more thorough wash can be completed. There is shared accountability between Environmental Services (EVS) and nursing home-based unit staff to ensure that wheelchairs are appropriately and consistently cleaned. The Resident Council Minutes dated 6/27/22 at 1:30 PM, documents Housekeeping/Laundry - Residents stated concerns with cleanliness. On 9/6/22 at 10:45 AM, R13 was sitting in her room in her (reclining, high back) wheelchair. The front wheel on the resident's right side had a large amount of hair wrapped around the wheel where the wheel attaches to the frame of the chair. The hair was matted and dark in color. There was also a dark colored dried substance on the front leg and wheel of the wheelchair. There was light colored hair tangled around the other three wheels where they attach to the frame. The bars under the resident's wheelchair were covered in dust. 09/06/22 10:45 AM, V9 (R13's Family Member) stated that R13's wheelchair needs cleaning. It has hair wrapped around the wheels and something dark on the front right side wheel area. At times it is hard to push R13 because of the hair tangled around the wheels. V9 also stated that she thinks it is disgusting having the hair and dark substance on the wheelchair. On 9/8/22 at 11:00 AM, R13 was sitting in her wheelchair which continued to be soiled as described on 9/6/22 at 10:45 AM. The wheelchair also had toilet tissue that was stuck between the back left wheel and the wheel brake lever. On 9/8/22 at 11:05 AM, V8 (Activity/Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) stated Housekeeping usually does the wheelchair cleaning. We (nursing staff) may wipe the wheelchairs down if we see something on them. V8 was asked if she saw anything on R13's wheelchair that she thought should be cleaned. V8 stated Absolutely, it should have been cleaned. On 9/8/22 at 11:10 AM, V8 (Activity/CNA) went to the left side of R13 to remove hair and toilet paper from the wheel area of the R13's wheelchair. V8 had a pair of scissors and bent over attempting to cut the hair and pry the toilet paper from the wheelchair where the wheels attach to the wheelchair frame and under the back brake area. The hair was tangled tightly around the area and V8 could not get the hair removed. V8 then got down on her hands and knees to try to remove the tangled hair. The hair was wrapped so tightly around the wheel areas that V8 finally had to sit on the floor to be able to cut and pull the hair and toilet paper out piece by piece. On R13's right side the front leg and wheel of the wheelchair had a dried brown substance on it. The brown substance was on the leg of the chair, around the wheel area and support bar. V8 then got a bucket with soapy water and used a white washcloth to wash the chair. V8 had to go over the soiled area several times, rinsing the washcloth each time using a scrubbing motion, to remove the brown substance from the soiled area. It took V8 around 13 minutes to get the handful of debris (hair and toilet paper), dust and stain removed from the chair. 9/8/22 at 11:43 AM, V1 (Administrator) stated that there is not a set schedule for cleaning the wheelchairs, but they should be kept clean. The wheelchairs should be cleaned whenever there is an identified concern. There are two departments that share the responsibility for cleaning the wheelchairs. The responsibility is shared between housekeeping and the nursing staff. V1 stated Someone should have cleaned it (the wheelchair). That is not acceptable!

Based on interview, observation and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident with limited range of motion was provided appropriate treatment and services to maintain and/or prevent a further decrease for two of five residents (R36 and R106) reviewed for limited range of motion in the sample of 39. Findings include: 1. R36's Minimum Data Set Assessment (dated 06/15/22) Section G, Functional Status, documents R36 has impairment on one side of both her upper and lower extremities. R36's Contracture Risk Evaluation (dated 07/02/22) documents a score of 7, indicating R36 is a high risk for contracture development. R36's current medical record has no documentation of any type of restorative/range of motion program in place. On 09/07/22 at 1:15 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) confirmed that R36 does not have any type of restorative/range of motion program in place and stated, We don't have a restorative program here. If a resident exhibits a decline, then therapy will pick them up. 2. On 09/06/22 at 1:15 PM, R106 was sitting in a wheelchair near his bed. R106 had a mechanical lift sling in place in his wheelchair. R106 stated, I just finished dialysis. I am waiting for them (staff) to put me to bed. They have to use a lift to move me because I can't stand and transfer myself. R106's Minimum Data Set Assessment (dated 07/27/22) Section G, Functional Status, documents R106 has impairment on one side of his lower extremities. R106's Contracture Risk Evaluation (dated 04/15/22) documents a score of 5, indicating R106 is a moderate risk for contracture development. R106's current medical record has no documentation of any type of restorative/range of motion program in place. On 09/07/22 at 1:15 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) confirmed that R106 does not have any type of restorative/range of motion program in place and stated, We don't have a restorative program here. If a resident exhibits a decline, then therapy will pick them up. On 09/08/22 at 11:25 AM, V1 (Administrator) stated the facility does not have any type of policy pertaining to a restorative/range of motion program. V1 stated, Therapy screens a resident every 90 days and if a change/decline is identified, therapy will address it.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to recognize a severe weight loss, develop a care plan, implement new interventions and notify a registered dietician or physician of a severe weight loss for one of three residents (R96) reviewed for weight loss in the sample of 39. Findings include: The facility's Weights policy, dated 7/2021, documents It is the responsibility of the Director of Nursing/ Designee to ensure that weights are obtained on a monthly basis, and to review weights for weight variances, and proper notification of physician and registered dietician if required. When a resident is noted to have a weight loss, there should be immediate intervention by Dietary. A house supplement of fortified foods can be offered to the residents who are receiving a Regular Diet, regardless of consistency, without obtaining a physician's order. This residents who are receiving a Therapeutic Diet (such as): Low Sodium, Low Fat, ADA (American Diabetes Association), Calorie Count, etcetera, require a physician order prior to initiating a house supplement, or fortifying foods. R96's current physician order sheet, dated 9/8/22, documents R96 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and on 8/9/22 received a diet order of No added salt/ Low concentrated sweets diet. Regular texture, regular consistency. R96's Weights and Vital summary, dated 9/8/22, documents R96's admission weight on 8/4/22 was 204 pounds. This summary also documents the following weights after admission: [DATE] 191.8 pounds (6% severe weight loss), 8/24/22 189.6 pounds (7.1% severe weight loss), 8/31/22 180.6 pounds (11.5% severe weight loss) and 9/2/22 178.4 pounds (12.5% severe weight loss in one month). R96's current care plan does not document a plan of care for nutrition or weight loss and does not include any interventions to address R96's severe weight loss. R96's progress notes since admission do not document that R96 was evaluated by a Dietician for weight loss or that a Physician was notified of R96's severe weight loss. On 9/8/22 at 10:15 AM, V7 (Registered Nurse/ Locked Dementia Unit Coordinator) confirmed R96 resides in the facility's Dementia unit. V7 stated Dietary should be addressing (R96's) weight loss. The dietician (V12) is here a couple times a week. On 9/8/22 at 1:09 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) confirmed R96 suffered a severe weight loss shortly after being admitted . V2 stated I was not aware (R96) was losing weight. Usually, I am aware of weight loss and catch those to put supplements and interventions in place. I was aware that at times he refused meals. Normally we look at weights weekly and check for declines or reasons why. I think somehow (R96) just got missed during those meetings. (R96) should be care planned for weight loss and have interventions put into place.
