Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure documentation was complete and accurate, related to care-planned arguing between 2 of 6 residents reviewed for possible abuse allegations and for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for activities programming. (Resident C, Resident D, and Resident H) Findings include. 1. The clinical record of Resident C was reviewed on 5-27-25 at 11:06 a.m. Her most recent Minimum Data Set assessment, dated 4-12-25, indicated she was cognitively intact. An entry in the progress notes, on 5-12-25 at 6:05 p.m., indicated Resident C had fight with Resident H during supper, that brought one of them cussing and walked away. The documentation was unclear regarding what constituted a fight, if it was physical or verbal, who was cursing, the negative impact of the interaction, nor what actions were taken by facility staff during or after the interaction. The clinical record of Resident H was reviewed on 5-28-25 at 10:55 a.m. Her most recent Minimum Data Set assessment, dated 4-15-25, indicated she was cognitively intact. An entry in the progress notes, on 5-12-25 at 6:00 p.m., indicated Resident H had fight with Resident C during supper, that brought one of them cussing and walked away. The documentation was unclear regarding what constituted a fight, if it was physical or verbal, who was cursing, the negative impact of the interaction, nor what actions were taken by facility staff during or after the interaction. During an interview on 5-27-25 at 1:31 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), she indicated the staff member who documented the interaction between Resident C and Resident H was a Registered Nurse (RN) for whom English was not his native language and his charting and wording and English can be a problem at times. The DON provided an example of a charting problem on a different resident where RN 3 was trying to say the resident was annoyed, but he documented the resident was annoying. During an interview with the Executive Director (ED) on 5-27-25 at 2:03 p.m., she indicated RN 3 does have broken English. During a phone interview with RN 3 on 5-28-25 at 11:40 a.m., he indicated English was his second language and sometimes had difficulty with wording in his chart documentation. He indicated on the date in question, the dietary staff had informed him they overheard Resident C and Resident H arguing with each other, as well as these two residents had a history of doing this type of behavior. The management team was aware of this, and it needed to be reported to Social Services. He indicated he sought advice from his co-workers and was informed he needed to report their behaviors to Social Services and document the event in the clinical record. He indicated from what he was aware of with these two residents, the arguing was a common behavior between both residents. During an interview with the DON and the ED on 5-28-25 at 11:40 a.m., the DON indicated she had worked with RN 3 quite a bit in regards to wording of documentation. For example, I addressed with him using the phrase a resident's actions were annoying to him, when what he meant was the resident had been annoyed. He is normally very good to reach out to me or his co-workers for clarification of terminologies. We review all documentation each morning in our morning meeting to review any care or resident issues . I would say the term, 'fight,' would not be the most accurate word to use for their interaction. The ED indicated both residents were care planned for bickering with one another. She indicated when she spoke with Resident C the next day, Resident C indicated Resident H was wanting to become verbal, so she [Resident C] chose to just walk away. She did say that she did mumble curse words while she was walking down the hall, but definitely did not yell or curse out loud. There was no physical contact with anyone. In an interview with Resident C on 5-27-25 at 10:30 a.m., she indicated she had no concerns for abuse of any kind. She added there are times that some people may have words, but then end up being friends again, just like family. In an interview with Resident H on 5-28-25 at 1:50 p.m., she indicated she had no concerns related to any type of abuse at the facility. Resident H indicated there were times that she and a peer have words one day and get upset with each other, just like with family, but the next day, everything is fine. 2. The clinical record for Resident D was reviewed on 5/27/2025 at 1:45 p.m. The medical diagnoses included major depressive disorder and diabetes. A Quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment, dated 3/7/2025, indicated Resident D was cognitively intact and did not reject care. Documented activities for Resident D indicated she did not have documented activities for 7 out of the last 30 days provided. During an interview on 5/27/2025 at 12:01 p.m., Resident D indicated the facility had issues with maintaining activities. Resident D indicated she would attend every activity when it was available. During an interview on 5/28/2025 at 12:15 p.m., the ED indicated the activities staff were responsible for providing and documenting activities to residents. During an interview on 5/28/2025 at 12:45 p.m., the Activities Director indicated residents were provided with passive activities every day and interactive most days. She indicated Resident D comes to almost every activity unless she was out with her family, at an appointment, or not feeling well. It was the responsibility of the activities staff to document activities. A policy entitled, Charting and Documentation, was provided by the ED on 5/28/2025 at 12:56 p.m. The policy indicated . Documentation in the medical record will be objective (not opinionated or speculative), completed and accurate .

2. A confidential resident's record was reviewed on 10/8/2024 at 1:30 p.m. The medical diagnoses included depression and anxiety. The most recent Minimum Data Set Assessment indicated the confidential resident was cognitively intact, occasionally incontinent of bowel and bladder, and dependent on staff for assistance with toileting. The most recently revised care plans, last revised in August of 2024, indicated the resident was incontinent of bladder and was at risk for skin break down related to incontinence. An intervention was to provide the resident with scheduled toileting upon rising, before and after meals, and before bed, as well as incontinence care as needed. During a confidential resident interview conducted during the survey, the resident indicated they were made to wait a long time for their call light to be answered, upwards to an hour. They were able to verify they use the wall mounted clock in their room to keep track of the time. The confidential resident indicated they almost always know when they must relieve their bowel and bladder, but they cannot get assistance to the bathroom in a timely manner, resulting them in having incontinence of bladder frequently. They stated they had bladder incontinence episodes due to having to wait for assistance as recently as in the last week, but this was a long-standing issue for the last few months. When the confidential resident had incontinence episodes, they would feel terrible and embarrassed. During a confidential staff interview conducted during the survey, they indicated they attempt to get everything done, but they cannot always get all the residents toileted and showered due to not having enough help. A policy entitled, Resident Rights, was provided by the Director of Nursing on 10/8/2024 at 1:50 p.m. The policy indicated, .Residents have the right to a dignified existence . and .to be treated with considerations, respect, and recognition of their dignity . 3.1-3(t) Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to promote residents' dignity by ensuring privacy for a resident during toileting and providing incontinent care in a timely manner for 2 of 2 residents reviewed for dignity. (Resident 23 and Confidential Resident) Findings include: 1. During an observation on 10/8/24 at 12:13 p.m., Qualified Medication Aide (QMA) 1 and Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) 2 assisted Resident 23 to the toilet in the shower room. QMA 1 and CNA 2 indicated they left Resident 23 in the bathroom alone, because the resident preferred privacy. The shower room had hooks for a privacy curtain, but did not have a privacy curtain hanging to provide privacy to the hallway. QMA 1 and CNA 2 did not know what happened to the privacy curtain. The shower room door was opened four times while the resident was using the restroom, exposing the resident to the hallway. During an interview with the Maintenance Director on 10/8/24 at 12:26 p.m., they indicated it was laundry staff's responsibility to ensure the privacy curtains were in place. During an interview with the Maintenance Director on 10/8/24 at 12:32 p.m., they indicated laundry staff had taken the privacy curtains down, on 10/7/24, to wash them and they were putting the curtains back up at that time. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/9/24 at 1:09 p.m., they indicated Resident 23 not having the privacy curtain up during toileting could have impacted the resident's dignity.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to hold quarterly care plan meetings for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for care plans. (Resident 8) The clinical record for Resident 8 was reviewed on 10/7/24 at 10:35 a.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and generalized anxiety disorder. During an interview with Resident 8 on 10/4/24 at 11:00 a.m., they indicated they did not have regular care plan meetings. A Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 8/1/24, indicated Resident 8 was cognitively intact for daily decision making. The electronic health record (EHR) indicated Resident 8 had a quarterly care plan meeting, on 8/4/23, a quarterly care plan meeting, on 2/5/24, and another quarterly care plan meeting, on 7/9/24; indicating no care plan meetings were done for six months, then not again for another five months. During an interview with the Social Service Director (SSD) on 10/7/24 at 1:31 p.m., they indicated care plan meetings were to be held quarterly, and she did not know how the quarterly meetings got missed. A Comprehensive Care Plan Policy provided by the Administrator, on 10/8/24 at 10:15 a.m., indicated, .4. Each resident's comprehensive person-centered care plan is consistent with the resident's rights to participate in the development and implementation of his or her plan of care, including the right to: a. Participate in the planning process .c. Participate in establishing the expected goals and outcomes of care .5. The resident is informed of his or her right to participate in his or her treatment and provided advance notice of care planning conferences 3.1-35(d)(2)(B)

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to utilize an assistive device of a gait belt during a transfer resulting in a fall for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for accidents. (Resident 23) Findings include: During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/8/24 at 11:45 a.m., they indicated Resident 23 was an extensive assist of two people for transfers, on 9/20/24, when she fell. The staff were not utilizing a gait belt during the transfer and the resident did not have any medical condition that would prevent a gait belt being used. During an observation on 10/8/24 at 12:13 p.m., Qualified Medication Aide (QMA) 1 and Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) 2 assisted Resident 23 from her wheelchair to the toilet utilizing a gait belt. The resident was totally dependent of the two staff and gait belt for the transfer and the resident was bent over at the waist. During an interview with the Therapy Manager on 10/8/24 at 12:34 p.m., they indicated gait belts should be used during transfer and ambulation for all residents unless the resident was independent with ambulation and transfer. The Therapy Manager indicated a gait belt should be used for Resident 23. During an interview with the Therapy Manager on 10/8/24 at 12:40 p.m., they indicated the staff should have been utilizing a gait belt when transferring Resident 23, on 9/20/24, when she fell. Review of the record of Resident 23, on 10/9/24 at 1:27 p.m., indicated the diagnoses included, but were not limited to, vascular dementia, anxiety, weakness, unsteadiness on feet, lack of coordination, muscle wasting, and Alzheimer's disease. The plan of care for Resident 23, dated 6/4/24, indicated the resident was at risk for falls related to impaired safety awareness due to dementia, Alzheimer's disease, hypertension, right rotator cuff strain, incontinence and impaired mobility. The State Optional Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for Resident 23, dated 7/12/24, indicated the resident was moderately impaired for daily decision making. The resident required extensive assistance of two people with transfers and toileting. The initial occurrence note for Resident 23, dated 9/20/24, indicated the resident had a witnessed fall in the bathroom. The resident was lowered down to the floor on her knees. There were no injuries. The Interdisciplinary (IDT) note for Resident 23, dated 9/23/24, indicated the resident was lowered to the floor in the restroom. There were no injuries or pain. The resident would be evaluated by therapy. 3.1-45(a)(2)

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to have knowledgeable dietary staff regarding a chemical dishwasher for 6 of 6 dietary employees reviewed for kitchen. (Dietary Manager, [NAME] 4, [NAME] 5, Dietary Aid 6, Dietary Aid 7, and Dietary Aid 8) A tour of the kitchen was conducted with [NAME] 4 on 10/3/24 at 11:15 a.m. [NAME] 4 indicated she was not sure what the dishwasher strip testing should read. It was observed [NAME] 4 was using the wrong testing strips to test the chemical dishwasher. She also was unsure of proper temperatures that should be recorded. [NAME] 4 did not know what the temperatures or readings should be for chemical sanitization parts per million (ppm). During an observation of the chemical dishwasher with the Dietary Manager (DM) on 10/3/24 at 12:00 p.m., she was using the wrong chemical testing strips to test the chemical dishwasher. An incorrect reading was being read and the DM did not know why. During an interview with the DM on 10/3/24 at 12:23 p.m., they indicated high temperature logs were being kept for the chemical dishwasher, but chemical testing was not being logged and monitored. She indicated, we test daily, we just did not start a log for chemical monitoring. During an interview with the Administrator on 10/4/24 at 11:00 a.m., they indicated education on the new chemical dishwasher was provided by the service man when he came to install it, but the Dietary Manager could not find the education that was provided to the employees. The Dietary Policy and Procedure Manual provided by the Administrator, on 10/4/24 at 1:00 p.m., indicated, .low temperature dishwasher/spray type dish machines using chemicals to sanitize should have wash temperatures of 120 degrees Fahrenheit and final rinse sanitization should read 50 parts per million (ppm) Hypochlorite 3.1-20(h)

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to have a Registered Nurse (RN) 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 5 of 5 months of RN coverage reviewed. This had the potential to affect all 47 residents that resided in the facility. Findings include: Review of the schedules provided by the Administrator, on 10/4/24 at 1:00 p.m., indicated there were no RNs in the facility for seven out of 30 days in April 2024, seven out of 31 days in May 2024, four out of 30 days in June 2024, six out of 30 days in September 2024, and two out of eight days in October 2024. During an interview with the Administrator on 10/8/24 at 2:27 p.m., they verified the facility did not have RN coverage in April, May, June, September, and/or October of 2024. During an interview with the Administrator on 10/8/24 at 2:34 p.m., indicated she was not aware of any residents being affected by the facility not having an RN in the building during those months and there were no incomplete tasks that only an RN could do. The sufficient staffing policy provided by the Director of Nursing (DON), on 10/9/24 at 1:50 p.m., indicated the facility would have a Registered Nurse (RN) at least 8 hours a day, and 7 days a week. 3.1-17(b)(3)

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a chemical dishwasher was tested/monitored three times daily per their expectations and to maintain documentation of such monitoring. This had the potential of affect all 47 residents who resided in the facility. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain holding temperatures for pureed foods for 5 of 5 residents receiving pureed foods. (Resident 18, 26, 34, 39, and 40) Findings include: 1. A tour of the kitchen was conducted, on 10/3/24 at 12:00 p.m., with the Dietary Manager (DM). During an observation of the chemical dishwasher, the only documentation log for monitoring of the dishwasher was obtaining temperatures only for wash and rinse cycles three times a day. The DM indicated the dishwasher was a chemical/low temperature dishwasher and not a high temperature dishwasher. The DM indicated the facility used a chemical solution for the dishwasher. During an interview with the DM on 10/7/24 at 1:17 p.m., they indicated the facility was testing the chemicals daily on the dishwasher before, but they were not recording them. The dishwasher was changed over from a high temperature to a chemical/low temperature a couple months ago and they continued with the temperature logs only and did not add a chemical log. The DM indicated it was the dietary aid who was responsible for the testing of chemical parts per million (ppm) being conducted on the dishwasher. The Dietary Policy and Procedure Manual provided by the Administrator, on 10/4/24 at 1:00 p.m., indicated the following, . the dishwashing staff will monitor and record dish machine temperatures and Sanitizer PPM to assure proper sanitizing of dishes. The director of food and nutrition services will post a log near the dish machine for the staff to document temperatures and Sanitizer PPM 2. A tour of the kitchen was conducted, on 10/3/24 at 11:15 a.m., with [NAME] 4. During an observation of the pureed food temperatures being obtained, it was noted that pureed mixed vegetables were recorded with a holding temperature of 118 degrees Fahrenheit. The pureed apple butter pork loin had a holding temperature of 118 degrees Fahrenheit and the pureed mashed potatoes had a holding temperature of 118 degrees Fahrenheit. An observation was noted of pureed food containers being stored in a hot water container. [NAME] 4 indicated if they did not have room to store food on the serving line, they held the containers in a separate container off the serving line with hot water on the bottom of it to keep the food warm. [NAME] 4 indicated she would heat the pureed food in the microwave before serving it to the residents. The Dietary Policy and Procedure Manual provided by the Administrator, on 10/4/24 at 1:00 p.m., indicated the following, . the temperatures of all food items will be taken and properly recorded prior to service of each meal. All hot food items must be cooked to appropriate internal temperatures, held and served at a temperature of at least 135 degrees Fahrenheit 3.1-21(a)(2) 3.1-21(i)(2) 3.1-21(i)(3)

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure 2 of 2 residents reviewed for misappropriation of property were not subjected to missing narcotic medications. (Residents B and C) The deficient practice was corrected on 4-4-24, prior to the start of the survey, and was therefore past noncompliance. The facility had immediately began an investigation upon learning of the missing narcotic medication and associated paperwork and begin staff education regarding the correct means to conduct controlled substance counts. Based on resident assessments and interviews, there was not a negative impact to the comfort level of either resident identified as being affected by this deficient practice. Findings include: In an interview with the Executive Director (ED) 5-21-24 at 11:22 a.m., she indicated the facility recently had an issue with diversion of narcotics. She indicated the concern was reported to the Indiana Department of Health's Long Care Division on 3-28-24, the date it was identified, and investigation has continued since that date. In another interview on 5-21-24 at 1:35 p.m., with the ED, she further explained only two residents, Residents B and C, were involved in the misappropriation of property. Once we knew there was an issue, we did an audit of everyone with prn [as needed] narcotics. So, our goal after that was to get any prn narcotics that weren't being used to have them stopped or if they were being used to get something to help them on a routine basis. She indicated 3 staff members were identified as possible suspects, LPN 3, RN 4 and QMA 5, and were each sent for drug testing with the results being negative for all three staff members. Review of the employment records of LPN 3 and RN 4 indicated each began employment after 1-1-24, with QMA 5 beginning employment in the fall of 2022. The ED indicated LPN 3 and RN 4 resigned after this situation and QMA 5 remains employed by the facility. In an interview on 5-22-24 at 9:23 a.m., with the ED, she indicated the manner in which the diversion of narcotics was brought to light was Resident B had requested something for pain from LPN 6 on the evening shift of 3-27-24. She shared LPN 6 inquired about the pain level of the resident's pain and offered Resident B a choice of Percocet or Tylenol; Resident B chose Tylenol. Apparently this got [name of LPN 6] to thinking she could not remember counting the Percocet for the resident at the beginning of her shift, because she recalled she done this earlier in the week when she had done the narcotic counts. This caused her to go and look to see if [name of Resident B]'s Percocet was in the med cart. That's when she couldn't find the med card or the count sheet. [Name of LPN 6] then immediately called the Director of Nursing (DON) to report the discrepancy. The ED indicated the facility was unable to definitely determine exactly who was responsible for the misappropriation of the narcotics, but she was able to view security camera footage from 4-4-24, that was suspicious. She indicated at the time, the camera video captured RN 4 and RN 7 conducting a destruction of Resident C's discontinued hydrocodone. The ED indicated she was able to view RN 4 to place something that appeared small and white into her hand, during the destruction process, and then place her hand into her pocket, then upon removal of her hand from her pocket, the same hand was empty. The ED emphasized she could not say with certainty the object or objects were some of the medication being destroyed, but seemed suspicious, or at the very least, unusual. The ED emphasized that she could say with certainty the facility had several cards of narcotics missing, as well as the paperwork associated with the medications for Residents B and C. The ED added, by the time this video of events of 4-4-24, were viewed, the nursing staff were aware of the situation in which narcotics were being evaluated by the facility management. On 5-22-24 at 8:58 a.m., the ED provided a timeline of the investigation of missing narcotics. The timeline indicated Resident C's medication card for hydrocodone had been discontinued as of 3-29-24. It was noted the drug destruction sheet there was only 1 sheet of 2 in the file. When questioning the 2 nurses, [names of RN 7 and RN 4] destroyed the medication for [name of Resident C]. The camera was reviewed, and it was noted that [name of RN 4] walked around the nurse's station--while talking on the telephone was punching out the medications the 2 nurses were destroying. The camera shows [name of RN 4] punching the card and placing the medication into her palm and slipping her hand into her left pocket. Further review of the camera--it is noted she dropped something--and a while [sic] object was picked up 2 times and put into the cup in her hand--the 3rd white object was picked up and placed in her pocket. In an interview with the DON on 5-22-24 at 12:50 p.m., she indicated she was notified on the evening shift of 3-27-24 by LPN 6 of the missing medications and medication paperwork. We truly looked all over this building for the paperwork. It became apparent pretty quick something was wrong. She indicated an audit of all the controlled substances was conducted and corporate assistance was provided to help with the process. She indicated the following day, 3-28-24, an inservice education was conducted for staff that administer medications on counting of the narcotics and how the process was to be conducted, including changes that were instituted. She indicated the previous day, 5-21-24, additional inservice education was conducted with staff who administer medications to reinforce these concepts. In review of the medication administration records (MAR) for Resident B for January, 2024, the MAR indicated Resident B had received the Percocet nine (9) times, for February, 2024, it indicated she had received Percocet five (5) times, for March, 2024, five (5) times and none for April or May, 2024. The Percocet 10-324 milligrams (mg) had been ordered on 12-27-20, to be administered every 8 hours as needed for pain and was discontinued 3-29-24. A review of the contracted pharmacy records reflected the medication had been re-ordered and received 30 tablets on 12-23-23, 2-6-23, 2-14-24, 2-24-24, 3-3-24, 3-11-24 and 3-19-24. A review of the controlled substance log indicated Resident B had received 30 tablets on 11-6-24 and indicated she was administered 1 tablet as needed with her using the 30 tablet supply by 12-21-23, less than one tablet per day on average. No other controlled substance logs could be located for the for the Percocet delivered by the contracted pharmacy company on 12-23-23, 2-6-23, 2-14-24, 2-24-24, 3-3-24, 3-11-24 and 3-19-24, a total of 210 tablets. In review of the MAR for Resident C for February, 2024, it indicated he was administered hydrocodone 16 times and six (6) times in March, 2024. The hydrocodone-apap 5-325 mg had been ordered on 12-22-23, to be administered 2 tablets every 4 hours as needed for pain and discontinued on 2-18-24. This order was restarted on 2-20-24 and discontinued on 3-27-24. A new order for the hydrocodone 5-325 mg 1 tablet every 4 hours as needed for mild to moderate pain was issued on 3-27-29 and stopped on 3-29-24. A review of the controlled substance log indicated Resident C had received 30 tablets on 2-6-24 and indicated he had been administered the 30 tablet supply by 2-23-24 and was documented as receiving 2 doses of 1 tablet twice and the remainder of the doses were documented as a 2 pill dose fourteen times. The second controlled substance log indicated a supply of 30 tablets on page 1 of 2 was received on 3-21-24. The second page of this order was not located. On page 1 of 2, six 2-pill doses were documented as administered to Resident C, and 16 (sixteen) pills were documented as destroyed on 3-29-24 by RN 4 and RN 7. On 5-22-24 at 2:25 p.m., the ED provided a copies of documents from the contracted pharmacy which indicated the following tablets of hydrocodone-apap 5-325 mg for Resident C were received: -2-6-24, 30 tablets. -3-3-24, 2 orders of 30 tablets for total of 60 tablets. None of the associated medication or associated paperwork were located. 3-21-24, 2 orders of 30 tablets for total of 60 tablets. Only the narcotic log for one of those orders, page 1 of 2, could be located. In random interviews with the ED and DON on 5-22-24, another issue that had been identified with the misappropriation investigation was inconsistent documentation of controlled substance documentation of administration between the controlled substance logs and the medication administration records. Each indicated this topic was identified and is being addressed by placing into the facility's quality improvement process and the facility is continuing audits of this. 1. The clinical record of Resident B was reviewed on 5-21-24 at 12:09 p.m. Her diagnoses included, but were not limited to, recent cholangitis, muscle wasting and atrophy, age-related osteoporosis without pathological fracture, atrial fibrillation, transient ischemic attacks (TIA's) and unspecified osteoarthritis. Her most recent Minimum Data Set assessment, dated 3-31-24, indicated she was cognitively intact and had not received any opioid medications within the previous 7 day look-back period. In an interview with Resident B on 5-22-24 at 11:34 a.m., she indicated she has low-grade pain all the time due to her arthritis, but only requests pain medication when it gets worse. She indicated the staff have always been good to provide her pain medication to her when she requests it. 2. The clinical record of Resident C was reviewed on 5-21-24 at 1:54 p.m. His diagnoses included, but were not limited to, diabetes with neuropathy, muscle wasting and atrophy, right above knee amputation within the last 6 months and age-related osteoporosis. His most recent Minimum Data Set assessment, dated 4-17-24, indicated he was moderately cognitively impaired and had not received any opioid medications within the previous 7 day look-back period. In an interview with Resident C on 5-22-24 at 11:45 a.m., he indicated he had a surgical amputation above his right knee in January or February of this year. He indicated he initially requested pain medication frequently after his surgery, but rarely does at this point. He indicated the facility staff have provided him his pain medication in a timely manner when he has requested it. On 5-22-24 at 10:55 a.m., the ED provided a copy of a policy entitled, Controlled Medication Storage, with a review date of 2-22-22. This policy indicated its purpose as, To ensure the facility provides separately locked, permanently affixed compartments for storage of controlled drugs Schedule II-V and other drugs subject to abuses .and a missing dose can be readily be detected .Regulations require that the facility have a system to account for the receipt, usage, disposition, and reconciliation of all controlled medications .Record of receipt of all controlled medication(s) with sufficient detail to allow reconciliation (i.e., specifying name and strength of medication, the quantity and date received, and resident name.) .Records of all usage and disposition of all controlled medication(s) with sufficient detail to allow reconciliation (i.e., MAR, proof-of-use sheets, or declining inventory sheets) including destruction, wastage, return to pharmacy/manufacturer, or disposal in accordance with applicable State requirements .Periodic reconciliation of records or receipt, disposition, and inventory of all controlled medication(s) monthly or more frequently as defined by the facility's procedures or when loss is identified. If discrepancies are identified during reconciliation, the facility and pharmacist develop and implement recommendations for resolving discrepancies .A controlled medication accountability record is provided by the pharmacy for all Schedule II-V medications .A physical inventory of all controlled medication(s), including emergency supply is completed at each shift change by two (2) licensed nurses and is documented on the controlled medication accountability record per facility procedure. Any discrepancy in controlled medication counts is reported to the DON/designee immediately. The DON/designee investigates and makes every reasonable effort to reconcile all reported discrepancies. The DON/designee documents irreconcilable discrepancies in a report to the administrator and/or state as applicable. Major discrepancy/Pattern of discrepancies/Apparent criminal activity -- the DON/designee notifies the administrator and pharmacy immediately. The administrator, pharmacy, and/or DON/designee determine whether other action(s) are needed (i.e., notification of police or other enforcement personnel, State department of health). The medication regimen of residents using medication(s) that have such discrepancies are reviewed to ensure the resident has received all medication(s) ordered and the goal of therapy is met. As an example, is the resident receiving a pain medication complaining of unrelieved pain. Current controlled medication accountability records are kept in the Narcotic Book (Narc Book). When completed, the accountability records are submitted to the DON/designee and kept on file at the facility .Controlled medication(s) remaining in the facility after the order has been discontinued are destroyed by two(2) licensed nurses, or as otherwise directed by law, in a timely manner.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement policies and procedures related to misappropriation of resident property for 2 of 2 residents reviewed for misappropriation of property related to drug diversion. (Residents B and C) The deficient practice was corrected on 4-4-24, prior to the start of the survey, and was therefore past noncompliance. The facility had immediately began an investigation upon learning of the missing narcotic medication and associated paperwork and begin staff education regarding the correct means to conduct controlled substance counts. Based on resident assessments and interviews, there was not a negative impact to the comfort level of either resident identified as being affected by this deficient practice. Findings include: In an interview with the Executive Director (ED) 5-21-24 at 11:22 a.m., she indicated the facility recently had an issue with diversion of narcotics. She indicated the concern was reported to the Indiana Department of Health's Long Care Division on 3-28-24, the date it was identified, and investigation has continued since that date. In another interview on 5-21-24 at 1:35 p.m., with the ED, she further explained only two residents, Residents B and C, were involved in the misappropriation of property. Once we knew there was an issue, we did an audit of everyone with prn [as needed] narcotics. So, our goal after that was to get any prn narcotics that weren't being used to have them stopped or if they were being used to get something to help them on a routine basis. She indicated 3 staff members were identified as possible suspects, LPN 3, RN 4 and QMA 5, and were each sent for drug testing with the results being negative for all three staff members. Review of the employment records of LPN 3 and RN 4 indicated each began employment after 1-1-24, with QMA 5 beginning employment in the fall of 2022. The ED indicated LPN 3 and RN 4 resigned after this situation and QMA 5 remains employed by the facility. In an interview on 5-22-24 at 9:23 a.m., with the ED, she indicated the manner in which the diversion of narcotics was brought to light was Resident B had requested something for pain from LPN 6 on the evening shift of 3-27-24. She shared LPN 6 inquired about the pain level of the resident's pain and offered Resident B a choice of Percocet or Tylenol; Resident B chose Tylenol. Apparently this got [name of LPN 6] to thinking she could not remember counting the Percocet for the resident at the beginning of her shift, because she recalled she done this earlier in the week when she had done the narcotic counts. This caused her to go and look to see if [name of Resident B]'s Percocet was in the med cart. That's when she couldn't find the med card or the count sheet. [Name of LPN 6] then immediately called the Director of Nursing (DON) to report the discrepancy. The ED indicated the facility was unable to definitely determine exactly who was responsible for the misappropriation of the narcotics, but she was able to view security camera footage from 4-4-24, that was suspicious. She indicated at the time, the camera video captured RN 4 and RN 7 conducting a destruction of Resident C's discontinued hydrocodone. The ED indicated she was able to view RN 4 to place something that appeared small and white into her hand, during the destruction process, and then place her hand into her pocket, then upon removal of her hand from her pocket, the same hand was empty. The ED emphasized she could not say with certainty the object or objects were some of the medication being destroyed, but seemed suspicious, or at the very least, unusual. The ED emphasized that she could say with certainty the facility had several cards of narcotics missing, as well as the paperwork associated with the medications for Residents B and C. The ED added, by the time this video of events of 4-4-24, were viewed, the nursing staff were aware of the situation in which narcotics were being evaluated by the facility management. On 5-22-24 at 8:58 a.m., the ED provided a timeline of the investigation of missing narcotics. The timeline indicated Resident C's medication card for hydrocodone had been discontinued as of 3-29-24. It was noted the drug destruction sheet there was only 1 sheet of 2 in the file. When questioning the 2 nurses, [names of RN 7 and RN 4] destroyed the medication for [name of Resident C]. The camera was reviewed, and it was noted that [name of RN 4] walked around the nurse's station--while talking on the telephone was punching out the medications the 2 nurses were destroying. The camera shows [name of RN 4] punching the card and placing the medication into her palm and slipping her hand into her left pocket. Further review of the camera--it is noted she dropped something--and a while [sic] object was picked up 2 times and put into the cup in her hand--the 3rd white object was picked up and placed in her pocket. In an interview with the DON on 5-22-24 at 12:50 p.m., she indicated she was notified on the evening shift of 3-27-24 by LPN 6 of the missing medications and medication paperwork. We truly looked all over this building for the paperwork. It became apparent pretty quick something was wrong. She indicated an audit of all the controlled substances was conducted and corporate assistance was provided to help with the process. She indicated the following day, 3-28-24, an inservice education was conducted for staff that administer medications on counting of the narcotics and how the process was to be conducted, including changes that were instituted. She indicated the previous day, 5-21-24, additional inservice education was conducted with staff who administer medications to reinforce these concepts. In review of the medication administration records (MAR) for Resident B for January, 2024, the MAR indicated Resident B had received the Percocet nine (9) times, for February, 2024, it indicated she had received Percocet five (5) times, for March, 2024, five (5) times and none for April or May, 2024. The Percocet 10-324 milligrams (mg) had been ordered on 12-27-20, to be administered every 8 hours as needed for pain and was discontinued 3-29-24. A review of the contracted pharmacy records reflected the medication had been re-ordered and received 30 tablets on 12-23-23, 2-6-23, 2-14-24, 2-24-24, 3-3-24, 3-11-24 and 3-19-24. A review of the controlled substance log indicated Resident B had received 30 tablets on 11-6-24 and indicated she was administered 1 tablet as needed with her using the 30 tablet supply by 12-21-23, less than one tablet per day on average. No other controlled substance logs could be located for the for the Percocet delivered by the contracted pharmacy company on 12-23-23, 2-6-23, 2-14-24, 2-24-24, 3-3-24, 3-11-24 and 3-19-24, a total of 210 tablets. In review of the MAR for Resident C for February, 2024, it indicated he was administered hydrocodone 16 times and six (6) times in March, 2024. The hydrocodone-apap 5-325 mg had been ordered on 12-22-23, to be administered 2 tablets every 4 hours as needed for pain and discontinued on 2-18-24. This order was restarted on 2-20-24 and discontinued on 3-27-24. A new order for the hydrocodone 5-325 mg 1 tablet every 4 hours as needed for mild to moderate pain was issued on 3-27-29 and stopped on 3-29-24. A review of the controlled substance log indicated Resident C had received 30 tablets on 2-6-24 and indicated he had been administered the 30 tablet supply by 2-23-24 and was documented as receiving 2 doses of 1 tablet twice and the remainder of the doses were documented as a 2 pill dose fourteen times. The second controlled substance log indicated a supply of 30 tablets on page 1 of 2 was received on 3-21-24. The second page of this order was not located. On page 1 of 2, six 2-pill doses were documented as administered to Resident C, and 16 (sixteen) pills were documented as destroyed on 3-29-24 by RN 4 and RN 7. On 5-22-24 at 2:25 p.m., the ED provided a copies of documents from the contracted pharmacy which indicated the following tablets of hydrocodone-apap 5-325 mg for Resident C were received: -2-6-24, 30 tablets. -3-3-24, 2 orders of 30 tablets for total of 60 tablets. None of the associated medication or associated paperwork were located. 3-21-24, 2 orders of 30 tablets for total of 60 tablets. Only the narcotic log for one of those orders, page 1 of 2, could be located. In random interviews with the ED and DON on 5-22-24, another issue that had been identified with the misappropriation investigation was inconsistent documentation of controlled substance documentation of administration between the controlled substance logs and the medication administration records. Each indicated this topic was identified and is being addressed by placing into the facility's quality improvement process and the facility is continuing audits of this. 1. The clinical record of Resident B was reviewed on 5-21-24 at 12:09 p.m. Her diagnoses included, but were not limited to, recent cholangitis, muscle wasting and atrophy, age-related osteoporosis without pathological fracture, atrial fibrillation, transient ischemic attacks (TIA's) and unspecified osteoarthritis. Her most recent Minimum Data Set assessment, dated 3-31-24, indicated she was cognitively intact and had not received any opioid medications within the previous 7 day look-back period. In an interview with Resident B on 5-22-24 at 11:34 a.m., she indicated she has low-grade pain all the time due to her arthritis, but only requests pain medication when it gets worse. She indicated the staff have always been good to provide her pain medication to her when she requests it. 2. The clinical record of Resident C was reviewed on 5-21-24 at 1:54 p.m. His diagnoses included, but were not limited to, diabetes with neuropathy, muscle wasting and atrophy, right above knee amputation within the last 6 months and age-related osteoporosis. His most recent Minimum Data Set assessment, dated 4-17-24, indicated he was moderately cognitively impaired and had not received any opioid medications within the previous 7 day look-back period. In an interview with Resident C on 5-22-24 at 11:45 a.m., he indicated he had a surgical amputation above his right knee in January or February of this year. He indicated he initially requested pain medication frequently after his surgery, but rarely does at this point. He indicated the facility staff have provided him his pain medication in a timely manner when he has requested it. On 5-22-24 at 10:55 a.m., the ED provided a copy of a policy entitled, Controlled Medication Storage, with a review date of 2-22-22. This policy indicated its purpose as, To ensure the facility provides separately locked, permanently affixed compartments for storage of controlled drugs Schedule II-V and other drugs subject to abuses .and a missing dose can be readily be detected .Regulations require that the facility have a system to account for the receipt, usage, disposition, and reconciliation of all controlled medications .Record of receipt of all controlled medication(s) with sufficient detail to allow reconciliation (i.e., specifying name and strength of medication, the quantity and date received, and resident name.) .Records of all usage and disposition of all controlled medication(s) with sufficient detail to allow reconciliation (i.e., MAR, proof-of-use sheets, or declining inventory sheets) including destruction, wastage, return to pharmacy/manufacturer, or disposal in accordance with applicable State requirements .Periodic reconciliation of records or receipt, disposition, and inventory of all controlled medication(s) monthly or more frequently as defined by the facility's procedures or when loss is identified.

2. The clinical record for Resident F was reviewed on 1/17/2024 at 11:00 a.m. The medical diagnosis included stroke. An Annual Minimum Data Set Assessment, dated for 12/11/2023, indicated Resident F needed assistance with activities of daily living. An observation on 1/17/2024 at 1:40 p.m. indicated there was a thick brown substance on the recliner with a wet washcloth laying partially over the area. An interview with Resident F on 1/17/2024 at 1:40 p.m. indicated that they usually clean her room and she would like her recliner cleaned before she got back up. An observation and interview on 1/17/2024 at 2:00 p.m. indicated that there was brown residue on the recliner with a wet washcloth laying partially over the area. Medical Records came to the room and cleaned the area as best she could. She indicated that she would have housekeeping spot clean the recliner. A policy, entitled Homelike Environment, was provided by the Administrator on 1/18/2024 at 10:00 a.m. The policy indicated, .The facility staff and management maximize, to the extent possible, the characteristics of the facility that reflect a personalized, homelike setting. These characteristics include .Clean, sanitary, and orderly environment . This Federal tag relates to Complaints IN00425127 and IN00424182. 3.1-19(f) 3.1-19(g) 5.1-5(a) Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, sanitary and comfortable environment for a resident shower room and a resident's recliner was observed with a dried brown substance present. These deficient practices have the ability to adversely affect any residents who utilize the shower room and Resident F. (Resident F) Findings include: 1. During an observation of the shower room, located across from the Rehab Hall's Nurse's Station on 1-16-24 at 7:20 p.m., with LPN 3, the tile floor of the shower appeared discolored with brown and tan stains, one wet wash cloth was observed in left back corner of the shower. Behind and adjacent to the wall of the toilet were two balled-up pieces of tissue paper located on the floor. LPN 3 indicated she had heard the facility is planning to be replace the shower floor tile soon, but was unsure of a date. LPN 3 indicated she had noticed the discoloration of the tile and it did not look appealing to her. I don't know that I would want to walk on that shower floor barefoot. LPN 3 indicated she has personally cleaned the shower floor with bleach products and still cannot get rid of the stains. In an interview with Resident J on 1-16-24 at 4:58 p.m., he indicated he does not like to use the shower room located across from the Rehab Nurse's station. It looks dirty to me, maybe just stained, but I won't put my bare feet on that floor. In an interview on 1-17-24 at 2:22 p.m., with the Executive Director, she indicated the tile replacement for this shower room has not been scheduled for replacement at this time. She indicated several treatments have been attempted to clean the tile in the shower in the recent past. In an interview on 1-17-24 at 2:35 p.m., with the Corporate Nurse, she explained she was informed by her superiors the tile replacement is on the schedule to be conducted. I was told the bathroom tile is on the list to be done next. But, I can't tell you an exact date for that. I would guess within the next few months.

Based on interview, observation, and record review, the facility failed to ensure resident specific fall interventions of antiroll back brakes and bright color tape were applied to wheelchair brakes 1 of 3 residents reviewed for falls. (Resident G) Findings include: The clinical record for Resident G was reviewed on 1/17/2024 at 2:51 p.m. The medical diagnosis included Alzheimer's disease. A Quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment, dated 11/10/2023, indicated that Resident G had multiple falls and was cognitively impaired. A fall care plan for Resident G indicated interventions of anti-roll back to wheelchair, dated 3/7/2023, and bright colored tape to the wheelchair brakes, dated 12/18/2023. An observation on 1/17/2024 at 2:49 p.m. indicated Resident G was laying in bed at this time. She had a wheelchair next to her bed that did not have antiroll back brakes nor had color tape to the wheelchair brakes. An observation and interview on 1/17/2024 at 3:00 p.m. indicated CNA 2 came to Resident G's room. She confirmed that no antiroll back brakes or color tape to her wheelchair brakes.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure 1 of 5 residents reviewed for nutrition had an admission weight obtained in less than 14 days from time of admission. (Resident B) Findings include: The clinical record of Resident B was reviewed on 1-16-24 at 4:06 p.m. It indicated he admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, but were not to, a recent left femur fracture, muscle wasting and atrophy, cognitive communication deficit, dementia, paranoid schizophrenia and prostate cancer. An admission nursing assessment, dated 12-2-23, indicated his admission weight, dated 5-1-2021, was 175.4 pounds (#). This resident had previously been a resident from 1-29-2021 to 5-10-2021. Current weights for Resident B were documented as 150 # on 12-13-23, and 148.5 # on 1-4-24. A nutrition assessment, dated 12-4-23, 76 yo [years old] M [male] readmit with fracture of L. [left]femur and dx [diagnosis] of cancer of bone, ARF, [acute renal/kidney failure] and anemia. Monthly wt [weight] pending. Previous BMI [body mass index] fo [sic] 27.5, while on the higher side is appropriate for age. Resident is on a regular diet. High protein needs r/t [related to] cancer. Poor intake at this time, will monitor another week and add supplement if warranted. ADL [activities of daily living]-total dependence. No issues with chewing or swallowing noted. Skin intact. Labs reviewed above. New admit will be followed by CAR [clinically at risk team or interdisciplinary team]. Care plan initiated. Will continue to monitor and follow. A nurse practitioner visit note, dated 12-12-23, indicated, [Name of Resident B] is being seen as follow up to [name of facility] on 11-30-2023 .Weekly weights x4 orders, however no admission weight or subsequent weights found. A physician visit note, dated 1-2-2024, indicated, Pt [patient] has had 1 [one] documented weight since admission, that was on 12-15-23. Reported to have poor appetite, for which he does take [brand name of liquid dietary supplement] w/o [without] difficulty. In an interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 1-18-24 at 11:05 a.m., she indicated she had recently noted the missing admission weight for Resident B. The only thing I can tell you is this is that he came in while we were in the midst of an outbreak of Covid, we had a lot of staff out with Covid, including myself. So, I was not in here to monitor like I would normally have done. He is no longer being followed by IDT [the interdisciplinary team] for his weight or nutrition. His appetite has improved and is doing pretty good in therapy. On 1-18-24 at 9:05 a.m., the Executive Director provided a copy of a policy entitled, Weight Policy, with a review date of 5-1-2022. This policy indicated, New admission weights [are to be conducted] weekly, for the first 4 weeks after admission .Residents identified as nutritional risk may be weighed weekly or bi-weekly per physician order or IDT recommendations .Weekly weights may be discontinued if weight has remained stable for at least 4 weeks, as determined by the IDT, Dietician [sic] or Physician .

Based on observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to properly prevent and/or contain COVID-19 for 4 of 40 residents observed during a random observation. (Residents 14, 31, 35, and 29). Findings include: The clinical record for Resident 14 was reviewed on 12/8/23 at 11:54 a.m. indicated, the resident tested positive for COVID-19 on 12/7/23 and was on contact droplet isolation for 10 days. The clinical record for Resident 31 was reviewed on 12/8/23 at 11:58 a.m. indicated, the resident tested positive for COVID-19 on 12/7/23 and was on contact droplet isolation for 10 days. Resident 14 and Resident 31 were roommates. The clinical record for Resident 35 was reviewed on 12/8/23 and was on strict isolation for contact droplet isolation related to a positive COVID-19 status. Resident 35 was roommates with Resident 29. An interview with ED (Executive Director) conducted on 12/8/23 at 12:25 p.m. indicated, Resident 35 had tested positive for COVID-19 on 12/4/23. She further indicated, Resident 29 had tested negative for COVID-19 on 12/4/23, but refused to leave his room and chose to stay in his room with his roommate, Resident 35. During random observation conducted on 12/8/23 at 10:58 a.m., a meal tray cart had been wheeled onto the hallway. CNA (certified nursing assistant) 2 pulled a tray out of the cart, set it down on the isolation station outside of Residents 14 and 31's room; donned an isolation gown, gloves, and a N95 face mask; picked up the lunch tray; and entered into the residents' room. CNA 2 did not don eye protection prior to entering the room which was clearly marked as a contact droplet isolation room. When entering the room, it was observed that used PPE (personal protective equipment) was hanging just inside the room and next to the door. Upon exiting their room, CNA 2 had the tray in her hand and placed it on top of the isolation station cart outside of the room. She then took a disinfectant wipe and wiped the tray down and placed the tray on the top of the meal cart. CNA 2 did not wipe down the top of the isolation cart after placing the potentially contaminated meal tray on it. At the same time as the previous observation, CNA 3 had pulled a tray out of the meal cart and placed it on top of the isolation cart in front of Residents 35 and 29's room. CNA 3 donned an isolation gown, gloves, and a N95 mask over her surgical face mask, grabbed the meal tray and entered the room. CNA 3 did not don eye protection prior to entering the room which was clearly marked as a contact droplet isolation room. Upon exiting the residents' room, she had the tray in hand and placed it on top of the isolation station located just outside their room. CNA 3 proceeded to wipe the tray down with a disinfectant wipe and then placed the tray on the top of the meal cart. CNA 3 did not wipe down the top of the isolation cart after placing the potentially contaminated meal tray on it. An interview with ED conducted on 12/8/23 at 11:39 a.m. indicated, the facility should not be re-using any PPE at this time as the supply levels were not in contingency status. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID Data Tracker (https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home <https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/>), accessed on 12/11/23 indicated the county's hospital admission level was low. The CDC (Centers for Disease and Control) website, accessed on 12/11/23, Interim Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations for Healthcare Personnel During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic Updated May 8, 2023 indicated, If they are used during the care of patient for which a NIOSH Approved respirator or facemask is indicated for personal protective equipment (PPE) (e.g., NIOSH Approved particulate respirators with N95 filters or higher during the care of a patient with SARS-CoV-2 infection, facemask during a surgical procedure or during care of a patient on Droplet Precautions), they should be removed and discarded after the patient care encounter and a new one should be donned HCP [healthcare providers]who enter the room of a patient with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection should adhere to Standard Precautions and use a NIOSH Approved particulate respirator with N95 filters or higher , gown, gloves, and eye protection (i.e., goggles or a face shield that covers the front and sides of the face).' The CDC (Centers for Disease and Control) website, accessed on 12/11/23,How to Use Your N95 Respirator last updated Mar. 16, 2022, indicated, Your N95 must form a seal to your face to work properly. Your breath must pass through the N95 and not around its edges. Jewelry, glasses, and facial hair can cause gaps between your face and the edge of the mask. The N95 works better if you are clean shaven. Gaps can also occur if your N95 is too big, too small, or it was not put on correctly. An Infection Control Manual, effective date 6/5/2023, was received on 12/8/23 at 11:45 a.m. from ED, indicated, The PHE[public health emergency] ended on 5/11/23 and this guidance serves as a framework for the facility to continue to implement core infection prevention and control practices to assist in the on-going effort to prevent and contain any COVID-19 outbreaks .Supplies necessary to adhere to hand hygiene or other source control/PPE are readily available in all areas of the facility where care is being delivered .COVID-19 Positive Facility Case .16. The RED stop sign for Covid-19 will be placed on the Covid-19 positive residents' door to communicate to staff and visitors the required use of PPE. To enter the positive resident's room an N95, gloves, eye protection, and gown are required for every entrance into the room. 3.1-18(b)

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's money was secure and accounted for while it was being stored by a staff person for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for misappropriation of a resident's property. (Resident C) Findings include: The clinical record for Resident C was reviewed on 10/23/23 at 11:00 a.m. The resident's diagnosis included, but was not limited to, Parkinson's Disease. The 7/29/23 Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment indicated Resident C was cognitively intact. A reportable incident to the Indiana Department of Health on 10/20/23 indicated an incident had occurred on 10/16/23 of an allegation of misappropriation of funds. The immediate action that was taken was the MDS Coordinator was suspended, police were notified and an investigation was started.

He could tell it was $500 by the thickness of his wallet, as he couldn't see well, due to having degenerative eye disease. CNA 9 took it, and he knew it was her. He went outside to smoke, and when he came back to his room, his door wasn't shut all the way. He sat down on his bed and saw CNA 9 come out the other side of the bathroom. He informed the Medical Records/Scheduler that same day. The Medical Records/Scheduler took him into the DON's (Director of Nursing's) office and I told her too. No one came to talk to him about this until last week. The sheriff came and all that. He briefly told the sheriff and that was it. CNA 9 was currently off work. The facility brought him a lock box a few days later, that he was going to start using. He and CNA 9 were supposed to go out to eat that same week and he was going to buy her dinner for taking him to the restaurant, because he wanted a steak dinner. They didn't end up going until the following day, but he was thinking about how CNA 9 stole his money the whole time.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to revise the care plan for activity of daily living (ADL) care needs for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for ADL's and care plans to accurately reflect the current ADL care needs. (Resident E) Findings include: The clinical record of Resident E was reviewed on 6-15-23 at 10:25 a.m. It indicated he resides on the facility's secured dementia care unit. His diagnoses included and are not limited to, Alzheimer's disease and dementia. His most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, a quarterly assessment, dated 5-7-23, indicated he is severely cognitively impaired and requires extensive assistance of one person with bed mobility, transfers, toileting and hygiene needs. A review of his current care plans for Self-Care Deficit as Evidenced by Needs assistance with ADL's indicated he required only Supervision, with bed mobility, transfers and toileting. This care plan was initiated on 6-30-22 and revised most recently on 2-24-23. In an interview on 6-14-23 at 2:06 p.m., with a family member of Resident E, indicated the resident has been on the dementia care unit for about one year now. The family member indicated Resident E requires a great deal of assistance with most of his care now as he has declined in his abilities to care for himself since admission, due to his diagnosis of dementia. In an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 6-15-23 at 10:55 a.m., she indicated she has been in this position at the facility since January of this year. She indicated she has not had a chance to go through every chart yet, including Resident E's medical record and his care plans.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure full body and sit to stand type mechanical lifts routinely have the number of staff persons to operate the lifts as recommended by the manufacturer or the resident's care plan for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for mechanical lift use. (Resident B) Findings include: The clinical record of Resident B was reviewed on 6-14-23 at 11:35 a.m. Her diagnoses included but were not limited to, morbid obesity, venous insufficiency, peripheral vascular disease, atrial fibrillation, polyneuropathy, generalized osteoarthritis and hypertension. Her most recent quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 5-5-23, indicated she is cognitively intact, requires extensive assistance of two or more persons with bed mobility, transfers and toileting, is non-ambulatory and requires the use of a wheelchair for mobility. In an interview with Resident B on 6-14-23 at 10:40 a.m., she indicated she requires the use of sit to stand type of a mechanical lift for transfers. She indicated recently, she has observed the facility now only uses one staff member, whereas the facility used to have two staff members to operate the lifts and attributes this to limited staffing numbers. She indicated she is unsure what the facility's current policies and procedures are regarding the number of staff required to operate the lifts, but thinks it is more safe with two persons. In a care observation of the sit to stand style mechanical lift for Resident B on 6-14-23 at 1:16 p.m., two staff persons were observed to operate the mechanical lift. A review of Resident B's care plans for Self-Care Deficit as Evidenced by: Needs assistance with ADL's [activities of daily living] related to weakness and osteoporosis. This care plan was indicated to have been initiated on 1-13-18 with the most recent revision listed as 2-24-23. An intervention was listed as, Assist with Transfer: Two person extensive physical assistance required sit to stand lift. In an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 6-15-23 at 10:55 a.m., she indicated she prefers for the staff to operate all mechanical lifts to always be operated by two staff members. She indicated the facility does follow the manufacturer's guidelines which recommend one person operation for the sit to stand style mechanical lift and two persons to operate the full body mechanical lift. Unfortunately, there may be times where there may only be one person available [to operate either style of lift]. On 6-15-23 at 10:05 a.m., the Maintenance Director provided a copy of a protocol for Using Full-Body, Comfort and Heavy-Duty One-Piece Style Slings, reference material from the facility's manufacturer for the use of the full-body mechanical lift. This information indicated two persons should assist the resident to be positioned onto the sling prior to use of the mechanical lift. On 6-15-23 at 10:17 a.m., the Executive Director provided a copy of a policy entitled, Transfers-Manual Gait Belts and Mechanical Lifts. This policy had a revision date of 11-2022 and was identified as the current policy in use by the facility. This policy indicated, To protect the safety and well-being of the Staff and Residents, and to promote quality care, this facility will use Mechanical lifting devices for the lifting and movement of Residents .Mechanical lifting devices shall be used for any resident needing two person assist, or who cannot be transferred comfortably and/or safely by normal transfer technique. Except during emergency situations or unavoidable circumstances, manual lifting is not permitted. Staff responsible for direct resident care will be trained in the use of mechanical lifting devices annually and as needed. Refer to Manufacturer's Guide for proper instructions for use of equipment for transfer .Resident transferring and lifting needs shall be documented in care plans and reviewed via care plan time frame and as needed .

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a baseline care plan related to fall risk within 48 hours of admission for a resident admitted with a known history of falls with injury for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for falls. (Resident D) Findings include: The clinical record for Resident D was reviewed on 2-16-23 at 9:55 a.m. His primary admission diagnosis of a displaced chip fracture of the left talus (ankle bone), with additional diagnoses that included, but were not limited to, weakness, unsteadiness on feet and difficulty in walking. The hospital records from his stay, immediately prior to admission to the facility, indicated he had a history of falls and the current ankle fracture was a result of a fall at home. A fall risk assessment conducted by the facility, dated 2-7-23, and date of his admission to the facility, indicated he was a fall risk. A review of Resident D's clinical record indicated he had an unwitnessed fall on 2-10-23 at 5:45 p.m., in his room. An IDT (interdisciplinary team) document entitled, Fall Investigation, for the 2-10-23, fall and dated as 2-13-23, indicated the root cause of the fall was related to the resident was walking in his room without staff assistance and was not wearing his orthopedic walking boot. It indicated the intervention to address this fall was to educate the resident regarding the importance of the use of the walking boot. Review of the care plans related to the fall risk status for Resident D indicated the first care plan to be developed was dated 2-13-23, the date of the IDT review of the 2-10-23, fall. In an interview on 2-16-23 at 2:02 p.m., with the Corporate Support Nurse, she recalled updating the falls care plan on the same date of the IDT review of the first fall. She indicated, If I remember correctly, there was a care plan about his noncompliance with wearing his walking boot and I put in a care plan for being a fall risk. She also recalled Resident D currently has a care plan about the actual fall. In an interview on 2-16-23 at 1:55 p.m., with the Director of Nursing, (DON), she indicated a person being admitted with a fractured foot and walking boot would be a fall risk and it should have been acknowledged on the admission nursing assessment form. She indicated at the end of each assessment section, there is a means of using the check-offs provided to develop a baseline care plan for the resident. I have been working with the staff to fill out the assessment better, plus filling out the care plan portion. In an interview with the DON on 2-16-23 at 2:10 p.m., she indicated she was unable to locate a care plan about Resident D being non-compliance with wearing his walking boot. In review of the care plans, a care plan with an initiation date of 2-13-23, addresses Resident D having an actual fall and refusal to wear his physician-orderd walking boot. On 2-16-23 at 2:54 p.m., the DON provided a copy of an undated policy entitled, Care Plans [sic] Protocol. This policy indicated the actual policy is located in the Resident Instrument Assessment (RAI) manual and this policy is related to the utilization of the facility's electronic medical records program to accomplish development of resident care plans. Baseline Care plans will be initiated within 48 hours of admission. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid's Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User ' s Manual Version 1.17.1, dated October 2019, Section 4.6 indicates the use of the RAI may not be adequate to address the Federal requirements to support a nursing home ' s ongoing responsibility to assess residents. The Quality of Care regulation requires that 'each resident must receive and the facility must provide the necessary care and services to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, andpsychosocial well-being, in accordance with the comprehensive assessment and plan of care' (42 CFR 483.25). Services provided or arranged by the nursing home must also meet professional standards of quality. Per 42 CFR 483.70(b), the facility must operate and provide services in compliance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and codes, and with accepted professional standards and principles that apply to professionals providing services in such a facility. Furthermore, surveyor guidance within OBRA (e.g., 42 CFR 483.25(b)(1) Pressure Ulcers and 42 CFR 483.45(d) Unnecessary Medications) identifies additional elements of assessment and care related to specific issues and/or conditions that are consistent with professional standards. Therefore, facilities are responsible for assessing and addressing all care issues that are relevant to individual residents, regardless of whether or not they are covered by the RAI (42 CFR 483.20(b)), including monitoring each resident ' s condition and responding with appropriate interventions. Limitations of the RAI-related instruments. The RAI provides tools related to assessment including substantial detail for completing the MDS, how CATs are triggered, and a framework for the CAA process. However, the process of completing the MDS and related portions of the CMS ' s RAI Version 3.0 Manual CH 4: CAA Process and Care Planning October 2019 Page 4-8 RAI does not constitute the entire assessment that may be needed to address issues and manage the care of individual residents. Neither the MDS nor the remainder of the RAI includes all of the steps, relevant factors, analyses, or conclusions needed for clinical problem solving and decision making for the care of nursing home residents. By themselves, neither the MDS nor the CAA process provide sufficient information to determine if the findings from the MDS are problematic or merely incidental, or if there are multiple causes of a single trigger or multiple triggers related to one or several causes. Although a detailed history is often essential to correctly identify and address causes of symptoms, the RAI was not designed to capture a history (chronology) of a resident ' s symptoms and impairments. Thus, it can potentially be misleading or problematic to care plan individual MDS findings or CAAs without any additional thought or investigation. · The MDS may not trigger every relevant issue · Not all triggers are clinically significant · The MDS is not a diagnostic tool or treatment selection guide · The MDS does not identify causation or history of problems This Federal tag relates to Complaint IN00401253. 3.1-30(a)

She liked to go to the shower room, but the girls get busy so she washed up in her bathroom. An interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing on 4/8/2022 at 1:45 p.m., indicated that they have revised the paper shower sheets to include what form of bathing and if additional care is provided. It is the expectation that the staff would document showers in the electronic medical record as well on the paper shower sheets, including the bathing and hair care tasks. A policy entitled, Bath/Shower Schedule, was provided by the Assistant Director of Nursing on 4/7/2022 at 3:15 p.m. The policy indicated, the CNA is to give the bath or shower as scheduled per the resident's preference and if the resident refuses, the Charge Nurse is to be notified for intervention. 3.1-38(a)(2)(A) 3.1-38(a)(3)(A) 3.1-38(a)(3)(B) 3.1-38(b)(2) Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to assist a resident with showers (Resident 26), failed to provide a resident with showers at his preferred times (Resident 13), and failed to follow a preference of bathing style and provide hair care (Resident 39). This affected 3 of 3 residents for activities of daily living. Findings include: 1. During an interview, on 4/05/22 at 12:14 p.m., Resident 26 indicated his showers have been missed. Resident 26's record was reviewed on 4/06/22 at 2:30 p.m. and indicated diagnoses that included, but were not limited to, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dementia with behavior disturbance, anemia, restlessness, agitation, and depression.
