Overview

Generations at Rock Island has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. With a state ranking of #534 out of 665, and #7 out of 9 in Rock Island County, this facility falls in the bottom half for both state and county rankings, suggesting limited options for families looking for better alternatives. While the facility is showing improvement in its trend, reducing issues from 11 in 2024 to 10 in 2025, there are still serious deficiencies. Staffing is concerning, with only 1 out of 5 stars and a high turnover rate of 54%, indicating instability among caregivers. Notably, there were critical incidents where a resident who wandered off was not adequately supervised, and another resident was not properly monitored for potential abuse, highlighting serious safety risks. On a positive note, the facility has not incurred any fines, which is a good sign, but overall, the issues raised indicate that families should thoroughly consider their options before choosing this nursing home.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident was safely transferred with a full mechanical lift according to their plan of care for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for safety/supervision in the sample of 5.The findings include:R2's electronic face sheet printed on [DATE] showed R2 has diagnoses including but not limited to congestive heart failure, morbid obesity, muscle weakness, and muscle wasting.R2's facility assessment dated [DATE] showed R2 has no cognitive impairment and is dependent on staff for transfers.R2's care plan dated [DATE] showed, The resident has an ADL (Activities of Daily Living) self-care performance deficit related to weakness, balance/endurance deficit .the resident requires mechanical lift with 2 staff assist for transfers.On [DATE] at 10:40AM, R2 stated, The first I had an issue with (V3-Certified Nursing Assistant-CNA) taking care of me was about 2 months ago. The (full body mechanical lift) wasn't working right or the battery was dead or something and it quit working and she wanted to sit me on the edge of the bed and she was going to lift under my arms and drop me in the chair. She picked me up under my arms and the other girl was behind me.There were 2 aides in here I just can't remember who the other one was. She scares me when she transfers me because she's not nice about it and she shouldn't be transferring me without the lift. They told me I need the lift at all times. That's the only way I feel safe.On [DATE] at 12:14PM, V3 stated, This incident was a few months ago. (R2) had her call light on in her wheelchair to use the bathroom. The (full body mechanical lift) was dying but we had enough battery to get her to bed. As we were getting her on the bed the (full body mechanical lift) died and we got her positioned onto the bed pan. We told her to wait a few minutes so we could charge it for about 15 minutes. We got her off the bed pan and there wasn't enough charge on the lift. We asked (V2-Director of Nursing) if we could do a 2 person transfer for her and he said it was fine. We do transfers like this all the time. I put the gait belt around her and (V2) was behind her. We put her in the wheelchair and it was just fine. There were a lot of people using the lifts that day so that's why it must have been dead.(V4-CNA) was the other aide in there. If I thought it was wrong or would have hurt her I never would have done it. I have seen people use a stand lift for her so I didn't really think it was much different.On [DATE] at 12:30PM, V4 stated, The transfer for (R2) was me and (V3) and we did it from the chair to the bed and she just kind of did the pivot transfer. I guided her hips onto the bed but didn't do much more. (V3) just grabbed her under her arms and got her to the bed that way. We didn't have any problems that day but her ability to bear weight isn't consistent. They have tried a stand lift with her but she was crying. (V2) was never even in the room or part of the conversation so I'm not sure why (V3) is saying that she got permission from him.On [DATE] at 12:54PM, V2 stated, I was not in the room at all during the transfer of (R2) nor did I have any knowledge that there was an issue with the lifts that day. They didn't ask me anything about transferring her without the (full body mechanical) lift.I honestly have no idea what they are talking about and I was never involved. A nurse could not change the residents transfer status without therapy evaluating them first or the doctor's order. If a resident is not able to be transferred with the (full body mechanical lift) we have back up batteries on each floor as well as another lift on each floor.The facility's undated policy titled, Transfer Belts/Gait Belt Policy showed, Policy: To promote safety in transferring and ambulating residents, a gait belt will be utilized by nursing or therapy staff.4. Grasp the secured gait belt to provide stability and balance during the transfer.The facility's undated policy titled, Limited Resident Lift Policy showed, . Use mechanical lifting devices and other approved patient handling aids for high-risk resident handling and movement tasks except when absolutely necessary such as in a medical or environmental emergency or evacuation.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to adequately supervise a known wandering resident (R1), failed to have systems in place to monitor the front door alarms after hours and failed to have interventions in place for a known faulty (electronic wandering device) door alarm system for one (R1) of twenty-two residents reviewed for elopement/wandering. These failures resulted in R1, a moderately cognitively impaired resident with the diagnosis of Vascular Dementia, eloping from the facility to a grassy area out front of the building, by a curb, close to a busy road attempting to get on a city bus. This failure has the potential to affect all seven (R4-R10) Elopement Risk residents who reside off the secured floor in the facility.These failures resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 8/28/25, the facility remains out of compliance at a severity level two. Additional time is needed to monitor the effectiveness of the implementation of protocols and oversight visits.Findings include:The facility policy titled Door Alarm Policy, reviewed 8/22/25, documents but not limited to, It is the policy of Generations at Rock Island to ensure resident safety and security through the use of door alarms. All doors leading to the outside MUST meet these requirements: 1. The alarm must only be disengaged at the door itself, either by push button code or key. No alarm may be disengaged from the nurse's station or any other location without physical evidence gathered by a staff member of reason for trigger reported directly to the person silencing the alarm. 2. The alarm must ring continuously until physically disengaged through key or code. 3. Exit doors MUST NOT have the alarm codes posted. Door alarms require immediate attention and response by facility staff to ensure the safety of all residents.3. Immediate response requires any employee to physically go to the door that has an alarm sounding to establish why the alarm was triggered. 5. Testing (including actual activation) and documentation of testing will be completed weekly. Any malfunctions are to be reported to the Administrator and repaired as quickly as possible.R1's admission record documents R1's date of admission to the facility was 8/9/24 and his diagnoses include but are not limited to: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Diabetic Neuropathy, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Acute on Chronic Systolic (congestive) Heart Failure, Anxiety Disorder and Vascular Dementia Unspecified Severity with Agitation.R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment, dated 6/2/25, documents R1 has a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 10/15, indicating moderate cognitive impairment, documents R1 has non-Alzheimer's dementia and documents R1's ambulation for distances over 10 feet as supervision or touching assistance.R1's physician orders dated 4/6/25, documents R1 has an order for a (electronic wandering device) ankle bracelet to prevent elopement from facility and orders dated 4/7/25 to check/record (electronic wandering device) placement and function every shift.R1's current care plan documents R1 Has cognitive deficits related to vascular Dementia and non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage and at risk for wandering r/t (related to) dx (diagnosis) of dementia. At times will wander around without purpose. Has entered other rooms and easily redirected. (electronic wandering device) in place. R1's current Care Plan contains no documentation of R1's elopement risk prior to 8/1/25.R1's elopement risk assessment dated [DATE], documents R1 is an elopement risk with a score of four (4).On 8/26/25 at 3:00pm, V1 (Administrator) stated, We do not have any documentation stating what the elopement risk assessment score means but anything greater than a one (1) means they are at risk so probably the higher the score the greater risk.R1's Risk Management Report, dated 7/31/25, documents, Exit behavior actively attempting to leave building staff successful in redirecting and (V14/Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) statement: I (V14/LPN) received a phone call from dispatch around 8:33pm making us aware that a resident was trying to get on the bus. I was outside bringing him (R1) back in the facility when the police arrived. The resident was still on the facility property in the grass near the smoking patio/courtyard. He did not leave the property. He was easily redirected back inside. We moved him to the 4th floor for heightened supervision and increased security.On 8/22/25 at 1:30pm, V14 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stated on 7/31/25 around 8:30pm he (V14) was getting off the elevator onto the first floor when he noted the front lobby door alarm was going off and the reception phone ringing. V14 (LPN) answered the phone, and the local police dispatch was calling to inform the facility of a suspected resident attempting to get on the bus. V14 (LPN) went outside and found R1 in a grassy area, next to the curb in front of the facility attempting to get on a city bus.On 8/22/25 at 1:50pm V1 (Administrator) and V2 (Administrator in Training/AIT) stated that the front door alarm will alarm on the panel at the nurse's station on the second floor.On 8/22/25 at 1:55pm observation of alarm panel on second floor at the nurse's station shows no door alarm sounding when V1 (Administrator) set off the door alarm. V14 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) was present at second floor nurse station and verified that the front door alarm was not sounding on the panel at the nurse's station.On 8/22/25 at 2:00pm, V16 (Maintenance Director) stated that he became aware approximately the middle of July 2025 of an issue with the facility's (electronic wandering device) door alarm system not always working as it should, meaning it should alarm at the nurse's station on the second floor if set off but it does not always do this. V16 verified V16 did not notify V1 (Administrator) or attempt to contact the electronic wandering device company regarding the faulty system. At this time, V16 showed the panel on the second floor at the nurse's station where the electronic wandering device system will sometimes alarm if set off. When asked about the door alarm going off not related to the (electronic wandering device), V16 stated, I don't know of any panel except for the front reception desk that will alarm if the front door is alarming. V16 verified that the front door alarm cannot be heard over the alarm panel at the second-floor nurse's station.8/22/25 at 2:10pm V13 (Human Resources) stated, No, if the front door alarm goes off and it is not because of a (electronic wandering device) then I am not aware that it is heard on any of the floors except the reception desk.On 8/22/25 at 2:30pm, V1 (Administrator) was noticeably frustrated and stated today is the first she has heard anything about there being issues with the door alarms. V1 verified V16 did not report the facility's (electronic wandering device) door alarm system not always working as it should to V1.On 8/26/25 at 11:55am, V17 (Registered Nurse/RN) stated, I was R1's nurse the evening he got out of the building. Approximately 8:30pm I received a phone call on my personal cell phone from V14 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stating he (V14) was outside with R1 because he (R1) was trying to get on the bus. I went down to assist getting R1 back into the building and then called V2 (Administrator in Training/AIT) and told her what had occurred and was advised to move R1 to the 4th floor to the secured unit for increased safety. R1 was fully dressed in only socks on his feet when he was found but did have his (electronic wandering device) in place to his ankle. The (electronic wandering device) was checked to make sure it was functioning, and it showed that it was but unsure why the door did not stop him from going out. I do not recall hearing any door alarms sounding from the panel at the second-floor nurse's station. I don't know how V14 (LPN) knew R1 was outside but if it wasn't for him, I'm not sure when we would have known R1 was gone since there is no one watching the front door after 8:00pm. I was informed a few days later that there is a glitch to the door system when it comes to the (electronic wandering device).On 8/26/25 at 11:44am, V18 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) stated, I saw (R1) around 7:30pm-8:00pm when I was doing rounds on (R1's) roommate. (R1) had asked me if his shirt looked like it fit so I helped him button it up and then started telling him how nice he looked. He was wearing that button up shirt, a pair of boxers and socks sitting on the side of his bed. He then laid down in bed. I did not hear any door alarms go off on the panel at the nurse's station but was informed by V17 (Registered Nurse/RN) that (R1) was outside, so I ran down the stairs to assist getting him in the building and then realized he needed his wheelchair, so I went back up to get it. Once I got back downstairs, they had him in the building. I assisted him into the wheelchair, and he (R1) was yelling at me I told you I was going to the tavern to see the ladies. (R1) never said anything to me about going to the tavern prior to that statement.On 8/26/25 at 10:17am, V37 (City Bus Head of Security) stated, It is documented that our driver called 911 at 8:32pm stating there was a confused man in socks trying to get on the bus.On 8/26/25 at 10:39am, V38 (Front desk Clerk of Police department) stated, (City Bus) called around 8:21pm, police dispatched but no need to engage due to staff had resident and were taking him back to the building.On 8/26/25 at 12:25pm, V20 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stated, There is no way to hear the front door alarm up here on the third floor. Just the stairwell door alarms are heard here. I was not aware of an issue with the alarm system until (R1) got out. If a (electronic wander device) is near the doors, they lock down so you can't go out, so I don't know at what point it stopped working.On 8/27/25 at 9:15am, V1 (Administrator) stated, The alarms, front door alarm and (electronic wander device) are supposed to be sounding on the second-floor alarm panel.On 8/26/25 R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10's elopement risk assessments reviewed indicating they are all at risk for elopement and facility census report documents they all live on the second and third floors of the building which are not secured units.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to treat a resident (R1) with dignity. This applies to 1 of 3 residents reviewed for dignity in the sample of 3. The findings include:R1's electronic face sheet printed on 8/2/25 showed R1 has diagnoses including but not limited to acute & chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting left non-dominant side, cerebral infarction, dysphagia, and Raynaud's syndrome.R1's facility assessment dated [DATE] showed R1 has no cognitive impairment, is dependent on staff for toileting, and is frequently incontinent of bowel and bladder.On 8/2/25 at 12:27PM, R1 was asked if he has ever had any issues with any staff members and he stated, Oh yes. When I first came back from the hospital I was transferring from the stretcher to the bed and it hit me really fast that I had to have a bowel movement so I asked the aide if she could take me and she said We aren't going to walk you in there today. You just got back from the hospital. You can just go in your depends and we can clean it up. I was shocked because nobody has ever told me that. I was furious because I pay to be taken care of, not to be told to go to the bathroom in my pants. I had to wait until the next shift came on to get changed and the aide that helped me said it was a huge mess, and I never should have been treated like that. The aide that told me to go in my pants was (V4-Certified Nursing Assistant). She's not the normal aide that takes care of me. My regular aide is wonderful. This aide I am not very familiar with, and she hasn't taken care of me since that night. I know it was night shift because I got back to the facility after 11pm .On 8/2/25 at 1:20PM, V4 stated, The last time I worked with (R1) I was helping with cares. He was just coming in from the hospital and had just gotten off the stretcher. I helped him take his clothes off. He was wet and soaked through all of his clothes, so I started changing him. The other aide came in and we got him changed. In between the clothes being changed he said he needed to go to the bathroom, but he was already wet, so I told him he was already wet, so we didn't need to go into the bathroom. When the other aide (V5) came in, I told her he needed to go to the bathroom and then I was just in there for a bit and then I left the room. I don't even know what I did wrong. I didn't think he needed to go into the bathroom because he was already wet. Surveyor attempted to contact (V5-CNA-Certified Nursing Assistant with no return call).On 8/2/25 at 3:16PM, V3 (Director of Nursing) stated, If a resident requests to go to the bathroom, the aides should be honoring that request no matter what the circumstances are. (R1) is a resident who is able to walk and use the restroom so there would be no reason to deny him that right. I'm not sure what happened in this situation but it's definitely a dignity concern. The only reason an aide wouldn't take a resident into the bathroom is if it wasn't safe for the resident to go into the bathroom and then they should be attempting to explain that to the resident. That's not what happened in this situation from what I can tell. She (V4) just didn't want to take (R1) to the bathroom.The Illinois Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program Residents' Rights for People in Long Term Care Facilities dated 11/18 showed, Your facility must treat you with dignity and respect and must care for you in a manner that promotes your quality of life .your facility must provide services to keep your physical and mental health, at their highest practical levels .

This applies to 1 of 3 residents reviewed for grievances in the sample of 3.The findings include:R1's electronic face sheet printed on 8/2/25 showed R1 has diagnoses including but limited to acute & chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting left non-dominant side, cerebral infarction, dysphagia, and Raynaud's syndrome.R1's facility assessment dated [DATE] showed R1 has no cognitive impairment.On 8/2/25 at 2:02PM, R1 stated, I am very frustrated by a complaint I had with (V4-Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). The staff are aware of it and they reported it for me. I hope it never happens again. (V4-CNA) hasn't taken care of me since that day but I didn't hear anything more about it. Nobody from Administration ever came and interviewed me or anything so I don't even know if they have the full story.On 8/2/25 at 3:16PM, V3 (Director of Nursing) stated, On July 26th, it was reported to me that (V4) refused to provide cares to (R1). V1 (Administrator) was contacted, and she said it was a customer service issue, so we did an in-service on customer service for the staff and (V4) was suspended for 2 days but now she is back to work. I was just told that it would be investigated .I wasn't involved in any of it. I don't know who spoke with (R1), if anyone. I was just told since it wasn't an abuse investigation all we had to do was an in-service for all staff.On 8/2/25 at 3:58PM, V2 (Operations Specialist) stated, I feel so bad that this didn't really get handled correctly. I know we haven't spoken with (R1) about any of this and I feel like we kind of dropped the ball on this one.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement dietician recommendations for a resident (R1) receiving tube feedings. This applies to 1 of 1 residents reviewed for tube feedings in the sample of 3.The findings include:R1's electronic face sheet printed on 8/2/25 showed R1 has diagnoses including but not limited to acute & chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting left non-dominant side, cerebral infarction, dysphagia, and Raynaud's syndrome.R1's facility assessment dated [DATE] showed R1 has no cognitive impairment and receives tube feedings.R1's care plan dated 3/17/25 showed, The resident requires tube feeding related to oropharyngeal dysphagia. Receiving tube feeding and water flushes for all nutrition & hydration needs According to RD (Registered Dietician): BMI (Body Mass Index)- 22.3 low for age. Has significant weight loss of 8.2% in 4 days (4/28-5/2); however, weights are relatively stable x 1m. Regimen meets/exceeds calorie & protein needs RD to evaluate quarterly and PRN (as needed). Monitor caloric intake, estimate needs. Make recommendations for changes to tube feeding as needed.The resident is dependent with tube feeding and water flushes. See physician's orders for current feeding orders .R1's admission notes dated 7/26/25 showed, New order received from physician to use Osmolite 1.5 for continuous feed of 60ml/hr, 150 water flush every 4 hours until can clarify feeding with dietician on Monday and can get Osmolite 1.2 if needed .R1's RD progress note dated 7/30/25 showed, Recommendations: Osmolite 1.5cal 60ml/hr x 20 hours. Add liquid protein 30mL BID (twice daily).R1's physician's orders as of 8/2/25 showed, Osmolite 1.5 Cal Oral Liquid (Nutritional Supplements) Give 60 ml via G-Tube every shift forNutrition. Administer 60 mL every hour. As of 8/2/25, R1's dietician recommendations to feed R1 for 20 hours a day were not initiated nor were the recommendations for R1 to receive Liquid Protein 30mL BID.On 8/2/25 at 12:27PM, R1 stated, I receive my feedings 24 hours a day and that hasn't changed at all since I have been back from the hospital. I would know because I rely on my feedings as my only source of nutrition.On 8/2/25 at 3:09PM, V9 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, (R1's) current feeding orders are Osmolite 1.5 cal continuous feedings at 60ml/hr. Dietary recommendations are usually handled by 1st and 2nd shift and we would call and get the orders on the same day the recommendations are given I assume. I am a 3rd shift nurse but that's just basic nursing that if you get a recommendation, you call and get an order. The physicians rely on the dieticians to assess every resident's nutritional status, and they usually don't argue their orders and if they do we let the dietician speak with the physician.On 8/2/25 at 3:16PM, V3 (Director of Nursing) stated, I did ask for the dietician to see (R1) and she would give recommendations to the dietary manager and then she will also send me a copy. Dietary Manager will then call the dietician to clarify the recommendations. The nurse on the floor will call and get orders for the recommendations. I would expect that the recommendations were implemented within 24 hours but I'm not sure if it happens that way in this facility. I have only been here a month, but I would think if there were recommendations, we should have them entered as an order by now. It's already been 3 days so that is too long.The facility was unable to provide a policy related to dietician recommendations as of 8/2/25 at 4:00PM.

CNA and myself hurried to [R1] and before we reached [R1] she reached another resident who was walking with a cane in the hallway next to the lounge and shoved her over causing her to fall back. CNA and myself separated [R1] and the other resident. [R1] continued to be aggressive swinging at and pinching staff while screaming nonsensical words.

If you explain to her what you are doing, she complies pretty well. If she is agitated, she gets very aggressive. She hits and kicks, scratches. I was here when [R1] and [R11] had the incident (6/11/25). [R11] had been fine throughout the whole morning. It was in the afternoon when she gets agitated, she gets to shaking, I asked her what is wrong, that didn't help. [R11] proceeded to grab her walker and bang her walker on the floor. [R1] was sitting in [R1's] designated area and was resting her eyes and when [R11] banged the walker on the floor, it woke [R1] up. [R1] was confused and scared. [R11] was walking toward me aggressively so [R1] got up and walked toward [R11] and proceeded to try and hit [R11]. I separated them but she grabbed her by the neck. [R11] screamed. I separated them really quickly. She had no injuries from that. [R11] didn't know why [R1] did that. [R11] is very aggressive as well.On 7/16/25 at 12:01 PM, V9 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) said, [R1] has behaviors, she gets combative with cares, and she is attention seeking. If she sees you 1:1 providing care with another resident that irritates her. She comes at the patient you are caring for. She starts to yell but it depends on what kind of day she is having. She will try to hit them. Redirection is hard for [R1]. If she is going after another resident, she does not handle redirection at all, she gets locked in on them, you just have to try to intervene and keep the patient safe. The incident with [R1] and [R2] on 6/18/25, [R1 pushed [R2]. [R1] was getting irate, and I peeked out to the outside of the closed unit doors to let the nurse know [R1] had charged at [R2].

R2's care plan initiated 12/13/24 showed, The resident is at risk for falls related to confusion, gait/balance problems. On 7/16/25 at 11:15 AM, V6 CNA Scheduler (Certified Nursing Assistant scheduler) said, I schedule both nurses & CNAs. Only have one 1:1 resident here currently. That is [R1]. She has been 1:1 since mid June, maybe around the 15th, due to really bad behaviors. She needs 1:1 on all shifts, including while she is sleeping. The nursing staff gets an order for it and the Director of Nursing, or the Administrator tell me who needs it and how long they need to be on it. All schedules were requested from V6 for R1's 1:1 supervision. The first time 1:1 was documented on the schedule showed 6/19/25. On 7/16/25 at 12:25 PM, V12 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) said [R1] is really combative, she has been combative since she has been there. She has put her hands on damn near all the staff here. [R1] has terrible behavior. We are scared of her. She is like this with both staff and residents. If you aren't familiar to her, she gets really bad. She is not a good resident to have, and she is a lot of care. They have 1:1 now. [R1] gets agitated with redirection, sometimes it gets better, sometimes it doesn't. You got to know how to work with her and that is not an easy task because she will turn on you. You have to get her away from noise, light, and people. We have to keep her separated from the other people. The 1:1 has been going on for maybe a month now. Her behavior has been going on since she has been here.On 7/16/25 at 2:02 PM, V18 (Housekeeper) stated R1 gets irritated if the CNAs rush her during care. R1 yells out, Slow down when she is rushed. It is a defense mechanism. I saw R1 attack another resident in the past. It was 6 or 8 months ago. She grabbed another resident's head and shook it. It was [R12], I had to step in between both of them to get R1 to let go. [R12] was upset and crying. It happened really fast and quick. I told the nurse about it but can't remember her name. I haven't seen any behaviors recently. Lately she is just spaced out. On 7/18/25 at 12:45 PM, V2 (Regional Director of Clinical Operations) said, R1 has been on 1:1 since 6/18/25. On 7/18/25 at 1:50 PM, V3 DON (Director of Nursing) said, . If someone is placed 1:1 supervision, this means there are eyes on the resident. They also need to keep track of what is going on around them, maybe someone else is getting agitated and you know it is going to get this resident agitated as well. If a resident is on 1 on 1 supervision, I would expect a staff member to always be with the resident.The facility's policy and procedure with revision date 01/2019 showed, Abuse Prevention Program.

Under certain conditions, we can reserve your existing bed for you, at your request, so when you return to the facility, you will have the same bed if you are hospitalized . If you are a private pay, Medicare, or Medicaid resident, we will hold your same bed and room for you as long as you wish, at a charge to you as established in the resident contract signed on admission.

2. R50's physician orders, dated 6/20/24, documents site (left upper inner thigh): HD (Hemodialysis) Catheter- Monitor site for bleeding and signs and symptoms of infection. On 08/27/24 11:20 AM, R50's dialysis catheter observed in left upper, inner thigh. R50's Current Care Plan, as of 8/29/24 at 1:00 PM, has not been revised to reflect dialysis catheter to left inner, upper thigh. On 08/29/24 01:50 PM V8 (Registered Nurse/Care Plan Coordinator) and V9 (Licensed Practical Nurse/Restorative Nurse) stated R50's current care plan does not show documentation that R50 has a dialysis catheter to his left inner, upper thigh. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to revise a care plan to remove checking an AV/Arteriovenous fistula site; failed to include who to contact for emergencies/complications, failed to include a target weight; failed to have an assessment and care of the central dialysis port; and failed to include resident specific dialysis orders for two (R13 and R50) of 18 residents reviewed for care plan revisions in a sample of 31. Findings include: The facility's Comprehensive Care Plans policy dated 4/2017 documents, To develop a comprehensive, person-centered plan of care, consistent with the resident's rights, that includes measurable objectives and time frames to meet the resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs. The comprehensive care plan will include: services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, psychosocial well-being while preventing decline when possible, and areas of potential risk to the resident with interventions to eliminate or reduce risk. Care Plans are revised as changes in the resident's condition dictates, but no less than on a quarterly basis. 1. R13's medical record documents the following diagnoses: End stage renal disease; Dependence on renal dialysis. R13's medical record documents R13's AV fistula was discontinued, and his right chest dialysis port was put in 4/1/24. On 8/27/24 11:30 AM, R13 was in his room, alert and oriented, and had a right chest long central catheter port wrapped in gauze. At that same time R13 stated I go to dialysis five days a week here. R13's left upper arm had a scar that was healed and R13 stated I had a shunt there for dialysis, but it got infected, so they had to remove it and put in this chest catheter for dialysis. R13's current care plan has no specific dialysis orders related to the type of dialyzer, flow rate, and length of time; target weights; who to contact for emergencies/complications; or care or assessment of the dialysis port. R13's current care plan has R13's left upper arm AV/Arteriovenous fistula site still documented. On 8/29/24 at 4:01 PM, V8 (Registered Nurse/Care Plan Coordinator) stated V13's care plan was not updated to remove R13's left arteriovenous catheter. V8 also confirmed R13's Care Plan did not address complications, emergencies, target weight, nephrologist, or assessment of the right chest catheter site. V8 stated R13's Care Plan, needs updated.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to follow physician's orders to flush an indwelling urinary catheter and failed to identify and document changes in urine output/characteristics for one resident (R76) of four residents reviewed for urinary catheters in the sample of 31. Findings include: Facility Policy/Change in a Resident's Condition or Status dated 3/2023 documents: The nurse will notify the resident's attending physician or physician extender when: There is need to alter the resident's treatment significantly; deems necessary or appropriate in the best interest of the resident. The nurse will record in the resident's medical record any changes in the resident's medical condition or status. R76's Physician Order Report indicates R76 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R76 is [AGE] years old and has diagnoses that include Diabetes Mellitus with Chronic Diabetic Kidney Disease, Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease, Personal History of Urinary Tract Infections, Polyneuropathy and Acute Cystitis without Hematuria. Physician Orders indicate R76 had an indwelling urinary catheter (order date 12/7/23) with the following orders: Order Date 5/17/24: acetic acid solution 0.25%, 60 ml (milliliters) irrigation; Special Instructions: Flush catheter with 60ml daily AND (as needed) for increased sediment/mucus or blockage. Order Date 5/17/24: Normal Saline Flush 0.9%, 60ml. Special Instructions: Flush catheter with 60ml daily AND (as needed) for increase sediment/mucus blockage. Diagnosis: Neuromuscular Dysfunction of Bladder. R76's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 8/1/24 to 8/8/24 indicates that R76 was transcribed for R76 to only receive (as needed) acetic acid and Normal Saline irrigation/flushes of her indwelling urinary catheter despite the MAR indicating the Special Instructions documented Daily and as needed. On 8/29/24 at 1:04pm V6 (Registered Nurse/RN) stated that during report (on 8/7/24/evening shift) she was receiving report from the off-going, evening shift nurse (V7) who told her that R76 was having possible catheter problems and indicated the problems had to do with R76's urine output. V7 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) reported that R76 had no output on evening shift, had not looked into the problem and suggested irrigating R76's catheter. V6 stated that V7 reported that she was unsure if R76's catheter was blocked or R76 just didn't have any output. V7 reported that she did not irrigate R76's catheter on her shift. V6 also stated that during initial rounds to get the residents' oxygen readings - including R76 - she found R76 was sleeping comfortably. V6 stated that approximately 45 minutes later, R76 was yelling, and she went immediately to R76's room along with a CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant). V6 stated they changed R76's position however R76 continued to indicate she was uncomfortable. V6 stated that she noticed R76's urine in the catheter tubing at that time was mucus(y), milky and amber colored. V6 stated that was not what R76's urine usually looked like. V6 stated that she then flushed R76's catheter and then did a bladder scan to determine if R76's low urine output was due to the catheter being clogged and to determine how much urine was in R76's bladder. V6 stated that when she was talking to the day shift nurse the following morning (8/08/24) she was told that R76 also had no output during the previous day (9/07/24). V6 stated I was not aware of that until the following morning, the evening shift nurse (V7) did not report that. V6 also stated My rule of thumb is if there is no output in 8 hours, that is abnormal. If there is no output and if there are orders to flush, that's what should be done and also bladder scan - which is what I did. Progress Note dated 8/8/24 at 2:31am indicates This nurse heard (R76) yelling out from the hallway, and the CNA and myself ran down to (R76's) room to find (R76) in distress and pointing at her back/butt, indicating that she wanted to be turned. We turned (R76) and this seemed to be effective at that time. Note indicates R76 had reportedly had catheter issues/inadequate urine output on the previous shift and had 300 ml of opaque, milky, amber-colored urine in her drainage bag at this time. Note indicate V6 proceeded to irrigate (R76's) catheter and perform a bladder scan. Note indicates R76 was not yelling at that time and seemed to be relaxed while she was performing the bladder scan. Note indicates the scan resulted in 000 ml as the reading. On 8/29/24 at 2:15pm V7 (LPN) stated (on 8/7/24) R76 did have low urine output and told staff to push fluids. V7 stated R76 had approximately 300ml urine output on that evening, but usually has about 800ml out. V7 stated that R76's urine was yellow/amber with sediment. V7 stated I didn't think about irrigating (R76's catheter). (R76) used to have orders to flush her catheter every evening but then the order changed. (V6) suggested flushing (R76's) catheter not me. V7 stated she forgot to document R76's urine output (on 8/7/24) on the MAR. No progress notes from day shift or evening shift on 8/7/24 were found or presented to indicate R76's low or absent urine output or characteristics of urine that may have indicated a blockage or infection. On 8/29/24 at 12:45pm V9 (LPN) stated that she spoke with V11 (Nurse Practitioner/NP) who changed R76's orders to (as needed) only because she thought maybe the flushes were causing R76's UTI's (urinary tract infections). V9 stated I forgot to change the Special Instructions to take out the daily flushes. At that time V9 was asked if she had made a progress note regarding her conversation with V11 about the changes to R76's orders - V9 responded that she would check. V9 returned later with a progress note dated 5/17/24 at 12:45pm that indicated This nurse spoke with (V11) about UTI. (V11) voiced concern about flushes (and) gave NO (Nursing Order) for acetic acid from scheduled to (as needed). MAR updated to reflect changes. Progress Note dated 5/17/24 at 12:45pm Progress Note Details indicates R76's Progress Note dated 5/17/24 was created on 8/29/24 at 2:48pm. This creation date was not included in the progress note V9 provided earlier. On 8/30/24 at 10:32am V1 (Administrator) stated I don't know why (V9) put that note in there. No one told her to do that. I think she put it in after she realized her mistake. She shouldn't have done that. On 8/30/24 at 9:00am V11 (Nurse Practitioner) stated I don't recall changing the order or discussing it with the nurse. (R76) had chronic UTI's because she had a catheter. I don't recall changing the order because of the reason you're telling me. (R76) was followed by Urology. I don't know who originally ordered the daily flushes. R76 did have good fluid intake and urine output so it would be a change for her to have a decrease. NP Note dated 5/9/24 indicates R76 was seen by V11 on that date. Note indicates R76's urine in catheter was clear yellow. Note did not indicate any concern for catheter flushes causing R76's UTI's. Physician Note dated 5/14/24 indicates R76 was seen by the physician on that date. Note did not indicate any concern for catheter flushes causing R76's UTI's. On 8/30/24 at 9:40am V2 (Director of Nursing) stated It's up to the nurse's discretion when to flush the catheter. It would depend on what the urine looks like, not just on output. But according to V6 (RN) (R76's urine) was cloudy. V6 did the right thing by trying to flush and scanning. R76's Care Plan (edited 7/17/24) indicates R76 has an indwelling urinary catheter; has acetic acid solution flush daily for catheter. Care Plan indicates to avoid obstructions in drainage; document urinary output every shift/record amount, type, color, odor.

Based on interview, observation and record review, the facility failed to ensure an allegation of verbal abuse was immediately reported to the Administrator for one of six residents (R4) reviewed for abuse in the sample of six. Findings include: The facility's Abuse Prevention Guidance Policy (revised 10/2022) documents the following: Employees are required to report any incident, allegation, or suspicion or potential abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment or misappropriation of resident property they observe, hear about, or suspect to the administrator immediately, to an immediate supervisor who must then immediately report it to the administrator or to a compliance hotline or compliance officer.

(V12) went on saying that she was bringing her cell phone to record people when she works. When (V2) explained why she wasn't allowed to do that, (V12) stated that 'Everyone here is calling people f*cking b*tches and I'm going to record them.' When (V2) asked who was doing this and who was being called names, (V12) stated, 'There's a lot of people and it's toward the residents.' (V2) explained that this was an abuse allegation and she needed (V12) to be specific and give the employee names and the resident names, (V12) said, 'I am not telling you anything,' and (V12) left the facility. (V2) notified (V1 Administrator) and the investigation was started immediately. This same investigation documents, (V1) interviewed (V12). (V12) was very upset with the write-up that was given to her. (V12) was observed sitting outside for over 40 minutes while she was still clocked in.

Findings include: Facility Policy/Mechanical Lift dated 2/2017 documents: A (full) mechanical lift should be used for heavy residents or for those who are disabled. Two staff members are required for this procedure. This policy's procedure for placing the sling under the resident does not include removing the sling once the resident is placed into a chair. Facility Policy/Mechanical Lifts dated 5/17 documents: Staff are not to operate the mechanical lift by themselves when a resident does not have independent sitting balance. Current Physician Orders indicate R5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that include Muscular Dystrophy, Diabetes Mellitus, Lymphedema and Obesity. Current Comprehensive assessment dated [DATE] indicates R5 has mild cognitive impairment. Current Care Plan indicates R5 is at risk for falls related to difficulty with balance, use of wheelchair; requires assist of two staff for sit-to-stand transfers (dated/edited 1/15/24). Fall Incident Report dated 1/4/24 indicates R5 fell during transfer with a sit-to-stand mechanical lift while being toileted and received an elbow abrasion. Report indicates R5 stated she fell back and could not hold onto the lift. Report Conclusion indicates R5 had a fall due to non-compliance of proper lift use. On 1/30/24 at 1:15pm R5 stated When I fell through the sling, it wasn't on the hooks right and I didn't have a safety strap on. On 1/30/24 at 1:45pm surveyor entered R5's room and observed V4 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) lowering R5 into a wheelchair with a sit-to-stand lift and then removing the lift sling. No other staff were present in R5's room. At that time V4 stated Another CNA was in the room assisting with (R5's) transfer just before you entered. No staff were seen in the hallway or exiting R5's room prior to surveyor entering R5's room. V4 was unable to recall the CNA's name who was assisting with the transfer. After V4 left R5's room, R5 stated that V4 did not have any assistance with her transfer, that V4 alone transferred R5. On 1/30/24 at 1:55pm R6 (R5's spouse) was sitting in the resident's room in a wheelchair. V4 stated that she needed to transfer R6 into bed. At that time V4 stated she needed to get the (sit-to-stand) lift back to get R6 into bed. On 1/30/24 at 2:00pm V3 (Assistant Director of Nursing) entered R5 and R6's room and stated that they were going to use a full mechanical lift to transfer R6 back into bed from the wheelchair. V3 stated that would be the safest method of transfer for R6 as he is not consistent in his ability to stand, is at risk of his knees buckling and/or letting go of the hand grips as he cannot consistently follow directions. At that time, V4 (CNA) and V5 (CNA) lifted R6 to a standing position by going under each of R6's arms, while V3 placed a full mechanical lift sling into R6's wheelchair and then lowered R6 back down into the wheelchair. V3, V4 and V5 confirmed that R6 did not get out of bed in the morning with a full mechanical lift transfer as the sling would have been left in the chair. At that time, R5 (spouse) stated that R6 can sometimes stand, and this morning two CNAs just got under each of R6's arms and did a (pivot) transfer from the bed to the wheelchair. On 1/31/24 at 11:30am V13 (Restorative Nurse) stated Both of the aides (V16, V20) involved in the fall were newer. (R5) told V16 and V20 that she didn't want the sling safety strap so V16 and V20 didn't use it. Both were educated that residents don't get to decide about the safety equipment. V13 stated if a resident refuses safety interventions they don't transfer the resident and immediately notify the nurse. V13 stated I honestly didn't take into account that V16 is not a CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) when I did the fall review. NA's (Nursing Assistants) should only be observing, can't be the 2nd person with a transfer. Current Care Plan indicates R6 has an inability to transfer self-related to generalized weakness. (R6) is a full mechanical lift for transfers. (dated1/30/24)

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to obtain physician orders for tracheotomy care for one resident (R1) out of two residents reviewed for tracheotomies in a sample of 32. Findings include: R177's care plan documents Problem: Potential for complications related to tracheotomy (trach). Approach: Suction as needed per MD (Medical Doctor) order. Approach: Provide tracheotomy care every shift and PRN (As Needed). Change trach ties every shift and PRN R177's physician orders documents an order start date of 4/17/23 and end date of 4/24/23 for Tracheal Suction PRN/increased tracheal secretions. Trach care (tracheal stoma, ties and inner cannula change or clean) every shift. R177's medical record census report documents R177 was sent to the hospital on 4/17/23, returned from the hospital on 4/24/23 and then was sent back to the hospital on 5/16/23. R177's physician orders does not include an order for tracheotomy care and suctioning from 4/24/23 through 5/16/23. On 7/12/23 at 11:30 AM, V1, Administrator, verified R177 did not have a physician order for tracheotomy care during R177's stay from 4/24/23 through 5/16/23. On 7/12/23 at 2:33 PM, V11, Regional Nurse Consultant, stated Our tracheotomy policy doesn't say we have to have a physician's order for trach care. However, I saw in (R177)'s medical record that the nurses were still providing trach care without physician orders. There should have been orders in place and I did question the nurses about it. What happened is the orders didn't get restarted when she came back from the hospital on 4/24/23 and the nurses were going off the old orders set for trach care instead of putting new ones in.

Findings include: The facility's Self-Help Devices (Adaptive Equipment) policy (undated) documents the following: Self-help feeding devices will be provided in the tray to clients who require them. R5's current face sheet documents R5's diagnosis to include: Alzheimer's disease with late onset; Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic chronic kidney disease; Mood disorder; Anxiety disorder; Vascular dementia with agitation; Muscle weakness; Other lack of coordination; Cognitive communication deficit; Weakness; Adult failure to thrive; and Dysphagia, oral phase. R5's current Physician's Orders document the following order (initially ordered 03/23/23): Use of sippy cup and weighted utensils to aid with eating and drinking. On 07/10/23 at 02:00 PM, V14 (R5's daughter), stated, My mom's hands have always been a little shaky, but it has gotten progressively worse since she's been at the facility. My main concern is her eating. She is supposed to have weighted silverware. She is a good eater if she can just get it in her mouth. Her husband comes just about every day and helps her with lunch. He has missed a few days due to a procedure. On 07/10/23 at 11:55 AM, R5 was sitting low in bed with a bedside table positioned in front of her. A lunch tray was sitting on the bedside table and R5 was attempting to feed herself. The head of R5's bed was elevated to approximately 60 degrees, and R5 appeared to have slid downward in bed toward the foot of her bed. R5 had an obvious tremor in her hands and stated, I always shake, especially when I eat. My daughter will come and help me eat sometimes. My husband does too, but he just had surgery and he hasn't been able to come as much lately. I really need to be scooted back up in my bed. R5 had a plastic spoon in her hand, and attempted to take a bite of her ground meat. Approximately 50 percent of what R5 had scooped onto her spoon fell off and landed on R5's gown and bedding during this attempt due to her tremor. R5 then picked up a full cup of coffee to take a drink, and spilled several small amounts of coffee on herself and her bed during this attempt due to her tremor. On 07/10/23 at 12:05 PM, V13 (Certified Nursing Assistant) entered R5's room to assist R5 in repositioning in bed.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 5) R42's Physician Order Sheet dated February 2023 documents Lorazepam 0.5 mg (milligrams) twice a day as needed. R42's Lorazepam order was dated 7/22/2022. R42's Medication Administration Record for January and February 2023 documents R42 has received his as needed Lorazepam sporadically throughout both months. On 2/9/23 at 11:30 AM V2 (Interim Director of Nursing) stated (R42) should not have had the (as needed) order for Lorazepam. There should be no open ended (as needed) psychotropic medication orders at all. This one must have gotten missed. Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to provide an appropriate indication for use of an antipsychotic medication and failed to identify specific target behaviors for four residents (R9, R12, R32, R44) with a diagnosis of Dementia of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications in the sample of 31. The facility also failed to provide a consent for antipsychotic medication administration for two residents (R12, R44) and failed to ensure an as needed psychotropic medication was limited to fourteen days for one resident (R42) of five residents reviewed for psychotropic medications in a total sample of 31. Findings include: Facility Policy/Psychotropic Medication dated 1/2021 documents: The facility will ensure that residents who have not used psychotropic drugs are not given them unless the medication is necessary to treat a specific condition that is diagnosed and documented in the clinical record. 1. The indication for any psychotropic medication will be documented in the clinical record to include an appropriate supporting diagnosis and identification of behavioral symptom(s) being treated. 6. Consent: Provide the resident/representative with information on the medication, indication (for use), dose, side effects, adverse consequences and goal of treatment. 7. Ongoing documentation must include a root cause analysis of behavioral indicators or symptoms, monitoring for efficacy and adverse consequences. 9. The goals of psychotropic medication and non-pharmacologic approaches will be addressed in the resident's care plan. 11. PRN (as needed) orders for psychotropic drugs are limited to 14 days. If the physician believes that the PRN order should be extended beyond the 14 days, the physician must document the rationale in the medical record. Current Physician's Order Report indicates R9 is [AGE] years old, was admitted to the facility 5/22/17 and has diagnoses that include Vascular Dementia with other Behavioral Disturbance, Psychotic Disorder (not due to a substance or known physiological condition), Bipolar Disorder. Order Report indicates R9 receives Perphenazine (antipsychotic) 2mg (milligram) daily times 5 days/week (date started 8/26/22). No diagnosis for Perphenazine was included on R9's Order Report or on current MAR (Medication Administration Record). Current Comprehensive Assessment indicates R9 is moderately cognitively impaired. Assessment indicates R9 does not experience delusions or hallucinations. Current Care Plan indicates R9 receives antipsychotic medication related to Bipolar Disorder and has tearfulness, sad affect, mood distress, loud verbal crying; can become verbally aggressive and refuses medications and meals at times.
