She resided on a secured unit of the facility. The ADL (activities of daily living) care plan, last reviewed/revised 4/23/24, indicated Resident 24 was unable to independently perform late loss ADLs related to weakness and debility. The 10/19/22 care plan, last reviewed/revised 4/23/24, indicated Resident 24 was cognitively impaired and unable to voice preferences regarding ADLs (activities of daily living.) The goal was for her to have her needs met. An approach, with a start date of 10/19/22 and end date of 6/1/24, read, Resident unable to state bathing preference. To be offered shower, per facility shower schedule. Staff to observe for any indication that resident may prefer to have shower done at another time of day and to inform IDT [Interdisciplinary Team] if this occurs. The 3/13/24 Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment and 4/20/24 Quarterly MDS assessment both indicated Resident 24 was cognitively intact. An interview was conducted with Resident 24 on 5/8/24 at 12:05 p.m. She indicated she would like to receive showers every other day, but didn't receive them that often in the facility. An interview was conducted with SSD (Social Services Director) 10 on 5/10/24 at 1:47 p.m. He indicated they discussed a resident's preference for bathing frequency upon admission and at care plan meetings. Nursing kept track and there were care plans for specific out of the norm preferences. The 10/26/20 Social History Assessment was reviewed. There was a section to document the resident's method of bathing as an adult to include type, frequency, day, etc. The response section was left blank, not completed.

Intervention initiated by IDT is for resident to have individualized activities in the afternoon. Care plan updated. Observations of Resident 62 sitting in his wheel chair were made on the following dates and times: 5/8/24 at 12:21 p.m. alone in his room, 5/10/24 at 1:01 p.m. at a dining room table, 5/13/24 at 10:39 a.m. in his room with family, 5/13/24 at 12:33 p.m. at a dining room table, and 5/13/24 at 2:00 p.m. still at a dining room table. There was an antirollback device (device used to help prevent falls that attaches to the back of a wheel chair and grabs the tires when the user stands, preventing the chair from rolling backward) attached to the right side of his wheel chair, but it was missing the left side of the device. An interview was conducted with UM (Unit Manager) 17 on 5/13/24 at 2:05 p.m. at the nurse's desk while Resident 62 was sitting in his wheel chair at a dining room table. Resident 62 was easily visible from the nurse's station. UM 17 observed Resident 62's missing left antirollback and indicated she believed he was supposed have one on the left side, because she'd never known a resident to have one side and not the other. She called the therapy department at this time to let them know about the missing left antirollback. After getting off the phone, she indicated they instructed her to contact the Maintenance Supervisor. UM 17 indicated she didn't work on the unit enough to know whether Resident 62 had the left antirollback device attached to his wheel chair when he fell on 4/18/24. To her knowledge, he's had that wheel chair since he's been back here, for months. An interview was conducted with RN (Registered Nurse) 18 on 5/13/24 at 2:05 p.m. She indicated Resident 62 had the ability to walk on 4/18/24 when he fell. He used his wheel chair to come to the dining room for meals and used his walker in his room. An observation and interview was conducted with the MS (Maintenance Supervisor) on 5/13/24 at 2:13 p.m. while he was working on Resident 62's wheel chair in the hallway in front of the nurses desk. The MS added the left side of the antirollback device and repositioned the right side of the antirollback device. He indicated the right antirollback was not in a position to prevent rollback, and no one informed him prior to today that the left antirollback was missing. An interview was conducted with the DON (Director of Nursing) on 5/13/24 at 2:33 p.m. She indicated she was unaware if the left antirollback was attached to Resident 62's wheel chair when he fell on 4/18/24. They may not have paid much attention to the antirollback device, since it wasn't a fall intervention listed on his care plan. She wasn't sure if that was the same wheel chair he was in when he fell on 4/18/24 or not.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure pharmacy recommendations were followed-up with timely for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. (Resident 22) Findings include: The clinical record for Resident 22 was reviewed on 5/13/24 at 2:17 p.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, bradycardia, nasal congestion, and depressive episodes.

The 4/7/24, 9:45 p.m. nurse's note read, Granddaughter - [name of granddaughter] - called expressing concern over her grandmother and requested on call to be contacted [Name of provider] contacted order for UA&CS [urinalysis & culture & sensitivity] and to call urologist and inform him of change in condition. Urine obtained via straight cath [catheter,] urine is cloudy, sediment noted and foul odor. Collection cup and tubes labelled [sic] and placed in REV specimen refrigerator. Granddaughter called back and informed of orders. The 4/8/24, 10:09 a.m. IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) Post Fall Assessment note read, Fall on 04/07/2024: Resident was observed on floor in hallway close to power chair. Resident stated she was trying to stand up prior to fall. Staff last saw resident in her room in her wheelchair. Vital signs and neuro [neurological] checks were initiated. No injuries noted at time of fall. Root cause of fall is that resident was attempting to independently transfer from wheelchair to power chair. Resident has had a noted change in lethargy and weakness. Immediate intervention was to assist resident back in to wheelchair and start 15 minute checks. Intervention initiated by IDT is to complete labs and UA/C&S [urinalysis/culture & sensitivity] per MD orders r/t [related to] increase in weakness. Care plan updated. The 4/8/24, 1:15 p.m. nurse's note read, Seen by NP [nurse practitioner] N/O [new order] for labs UA & xRAYS D/T [due to] new ONSET of weakness LAbs & UA obtained this am Xray of back over the weekend were neg [negative] continues on Neuro's d/t recent fall denies any new issues Grand daughter updated. The 4/9/24, 10:25 a.m. physician note indicated Resident 58 was being seen today for increased confusion, being found on the floor by a member of the facility's staff and to review and address, if necessary, any recent labs or diagnostic testing. It read, Confusion .4/9/24-blood work is nonacute. Urinalysis is pending. Continue supportive treatment. Monitor for problems. The 4/11/24, 7:49 p.m. nurse's note read, Res [Resident] resting in recliner. Res was previously at bingo Alert and oriented with no distress noted. The 4/11/24, 10:27 a.m. UA/C&S results indicated the specimen was received in the lab on 4/9/24 at 4:23 p.m. She flagged positive with a result of 2+, MODERATE for leukocytes and abnormal amounts of blood and protein in urine. The microbiology report at the bottom indicated there was growth in the urine at 48 hours that was greater than 3 colony types isolated suggesting probable contamination. It read, If clinically indicated, recollection using a method to minimize contamination, with prompt transfer to urine culture transport tube is recommended. There was no information in the clinical record to indicate another UA/CS was completed after the above 4/11/24 results. The 4/11/24, 3:44 p.m. NP note, recorded as a late entry on 5/14/24 at 3:45 p.m. and electronically signed by NP 15's Medical Scribe, included the 4/9/24 UA results, but did not include a comment on their review or plan to address the results. An interview was conducted with NP (Nurse Practitioner) 15 on 5/14/24 at 10:39 a.m. She indicated it looked to her like the 4/11/24 UA/CS results for Resident 58 were contaminated, so she did not move forward with treatment because of that. Typically speaking, if there was a contaminated UA and the resident was not symptomatic, then she wouldn't order a follow up UA. As far as ordering a redraw for Resident 58, perhaps she did and it fell off. The 4/13/24, 5:30 p.m. nurse's note read, QMA [Qualified Medication Aide] called this writer to res [resident's] room. Res was laying in bed lethargic but responded some with slurred speech. BP 160/74 P 68 T 97.9 02 74% RA R 14 Shallow deep breathing. Res was reaching in the air for things that wasn't there.

Res daughter took res glasses to hospital. [Name of hospital]called and gave report to [name of ER staff] in the ER. The 4/17/24 hospital discharge summary indicated her principal problem was a UTI (urinary tract infection) with an active problem of sepsis due to UTI. It read, .was admitted from ECF [extended care facility] with increased confusion. She was diagnosed with acute metabolic encephalopathy thought to be secondary to Enterococcus faecalis UTI. She improved with antibiotics. Given microbiology results and risk of interaction between Zyvox and Sinemet she will be discharged on 1 additional dose of IV [intravenous] vancomycin Patient also had urinary retention which certainly contributed to her agitation and encephalopathy. She is therefore discharged with a Foley catheter in place. The START taking these medications section of the discharge summary indicated to take vancomycin 1.25 gram/250 mL injection into the vein 1 time for 1 dose on 4/19/24. The Urinary Retention section of the 4/17/24 hospital After Visit Summary read, Urinary retention means you are having trouble urinating. In some cases you may not be able to pass any urine at all. This condition occurs even though your bladder is full. Causes - For girls and women, the most common cause of urinary retention is a bladder infection .Treatment - This condition is treated by putting a tube (catheter) into the bladder to drain the urine. This gives relief right away. The catheter may need to stay in place for a few days Home Care - If you were given antibiotics to treat a bladder infection, take them until they are used up. Or take them until your healthcare provider tells you to stop. It's important to finish the antibiotics even if you feel better. This is to make sure your infection has cleared. If a catheter was left in place, it's important to keep bacteria from getting into the collection bag. Don't disconnect the catheter from the collection bag. Use a leg band to secure the drainage tube, so it does not pull on the catheter. Drain the collection bag when it becomes full using the drain spout at the bottom of the bag. Don't pull on or try to take out your catheter. This will harm your urethra. The catheter must be removed by a healthcare provider. Follow-up care - .If a catheter was left in place, it can often be removed in 3 to 7 days. Some conditions require that thee catheter stays in longer. Your provider will tell you when to come back to have the catheter removed. The 4/17/24, 4:21 p.m. nurse's note indicated Resident 58 returned from the hospital. The April, 2024 facility physician's orders included the order for the one dose of vancomycin to be given on 4/19/24, but did not include any orders regarding her catheter until 4/25/24. They were to apply leg bag for Foley catheter twice a day, starting 4/25/24; to change urinary catheter and drainage bag as needed for occlusion/dislodgement starting 4/25/24; and to provide urinary catheter care every shift, starting 4/25/24. The April, 2024 MAR (medication administration record) indicated Resident 58 did not receive the one dose of vancomycin on 4/19/24. They indicated the orders regarding her catheter did not begin being provided until 4/25/24. An interview was conducted with the DON (Director of Nursing) on 5/14/24 at 12:25 p.m. and 5/14/24 at 1:54 p.m. She indicated Resident 58 did not receive the dose of vancomycin on 4/19/24, as ordered. They caught the error the following week and the nursing staff involved were disciplined. They were providing catheter care as a standard of practice after her return from the hospital on 4/17/24 through 4/25/24, but did not have orders, documentation of the care, or any other verification to verify that. An interview was conducted with CNA 12 on 5/14/24 at 1:52 p.m. She indicated she worked with Resident 58 often. Since her hospitalization, she had been declining. She wasn't eating as well anymore and was sleeping more often. An interview was conducted with CNA 13 on 5/14/24 at 1:54 p.m. She indicated she worked Resident 58 and she was declining and very tired.

The date and time that catheter care was given. 2. The name and title of the individual giving the catheter care. 3. All assessment data obtained when giving catheter care. 3.1-37(a)

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the fall policy was implemented regarding documentation of a fall event in the clinical record, conduct a fall follow up, and conduct neurological checks (neuro checks) for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for accidents. (Resident C) The deficient practice was corrected on 9/14/23, prior to the start of the survey, and was therefore past noncompliance. The facility had completed assessments of residents who had experienced a fall, education related to documentation of falls in the clinical record, conduct neurological checks, and audits related to fall events. Findings include: The clinical record for Resident C was reviewed on 12/1/23 at 2:02 p.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, anxiety disorder, anemia, dementia, mild cognitive impairment, anorexia, and depression. A progress note, dated 9/14/23 at 3:24 p.m., indicated the following, .IDT [interdisciplinary team] Post Fall Assessment Fall on 09/10/23: Resident was observed on floor in room sitting on buttocks .Root cause of fall is that resident was attempting to independently transfer/ambulate. Resident is cognitively impaired with poor safety awareness and resides on a dementia unit An incident reported to the Indiana State Department of Health Survey Report System, dated 9/14/23, indicated Resident C had an unwitnessed fall on 9/10/23. Resident C began to complaint of hip pain and was diagnosed with acute right superior and inferior pubic ramus fractures. There was no documentation of a fall event occurring for Resident C, on 9/10/23, in the progress notes, under incident reports, or under assessments. A brief interview for mental status (BIMS) assessment, dated 9/15/23, indicated Resident C had severe cognitive impairment. A written statement made by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 2, undated, indicated the following, .On Sunday September 10, 2023, [name of Resident C] was observed on her bottom on the floor of her bedroom. Resident stated she did not know how she fell but stated she did not hit her head. Assessed vital signs which were within normal limits. This nurse and CNA [certified nursing assistant] assisted resident back to bed. Assessed resident further. Resident had full ROM [range of motion] in both her upper and lower extremities. Resident stated she had no pain before, or after performing ROM. Resident had no deficits upon neuro assessment, and no visible deformities. Resident was laying in bed with call light in reach when staff left the room .I spoke with CNA and stated I did not believe the resident had any injuries as she was not in pain. This was the reason I did not report this fall An interview conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 12/1/23 at 2:20 p.m., indicated there was no fall event, progress note, or assessment documented in the clinical record regarding Resident C's fall event on 9/10/23. LPN 2 was suspended, and the facility didn't have her document after that. There were no neurological checks conducted after Resident C's fall. The fall was revealed on 9/14/23 when Resident C complained of pain and noted to have a pelvic fracture that led to the facility investigating what occurred with Resident C. A Fall Prevention Policy and Procedure, dated May 2016, was provided by the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/1/23 at 3:38 p.m. The policy indicated the following, .a fall is defined as unintentionally coming to rest on the ground, floor, or other lower level but not the result of being pushed by an external force .PROCEDURE .This section describes the process for the prevention of falls and accurate documentation when there is a fall. Accurate documentation of fall risks and falls provides a clinical picture of a resident and is utilized in developing their plan of care. It is the responsibility of the interdisciplinary team to document falls prevention, when a fall occurs, and interventions to avoid future falls This Federal tag relates to Complaints IN00417910 and IN00422463. 3.1-45(a)(1) 3.1-45(a)(2)

2. The clinical record for Resident 243 was reviewed on 3/7/2023 at 11:53 a.m. The medical diagnosis included dementia. A care plan, dated 12/31/2018, indicated for resident to have her call light kept within reach. An Quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment, dated 2/16/2023, indicated Resident 243 needed extensive assistance with activities of daily living. An interview and observation on 3/1/2023 at 01:44 p.m., indicated resident 243 laying in bed at this time with her call light hanging off the top of the bed, out of her reach.
