The need to continue prn orders for psychotropic medications beyond 14 days requires that the practitioner document the rationale for the extended order. The duration of the prn order will be indicated in the order.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, record review, and interview, the facility failed to make timely referrals for dental services for two (#11 and #14) of 16 residents whose dental status was observed. The facility census was 21. Findings include: 1. Observations of Resident #11 on 02/21/23 at 10:58 A.M. revealed he had no natural teeth and no dentures in. On 02/21/23 at 3:47 P.M., during interview, Resident #11's son indicated Resident #11 had new dentures that had been missing. The facility had reported they were looking for them. Review of Resident #11's medical record reviewed diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and cerebrovascular disease. Between 06/07/21 and 11/07/22, Resident #11 had an order for a regular diet with regular texture. A nursing note dated 11/07/22 at 9:14 A.M. indicated the power of attorney and physician were updated that Resident #11's diet was changed to mechanical soft due to decreased appetite and difficulty chewing. An admission nursing assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #11 had full upper and full lower dentures that fit but did not wear them. There was no documentation indicating Resident #11's dentures were missing. Review of a Resident/Family/Staff concern form dated 07/21/22 indicated Resident #11's dentures were missing. Staff were unable to find the dentures in his room, the laundry, day room, dining room or in the chairs. Resident #11 was unable to state what he did with them. Resident #11 was known to take them out and leave them in random places. Resident #11 was added to a list to be seen at the next dental visit. It was unknown if the cost of the dentures would be covered. On 02/22/23 at 4:20 P.M., during interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the facility assessed a resident with lost dentures to see if it affected their intake and if it did they reached out for emergency dental services. If not, the residents were seen with the next visit. The DON stated she would look for documentation regarding any referral for dental services after the dentures were lost. The DON stated the facility was still waiting on the next dental visit to be scheduled. On 02/22/23 at 4:42 P.M., during interview, the Administrator provided a list that was provided to the dental service on 12/20/22 indicating Resident #11's name was on the list to be seen. On 02/23/23 at 7:00 A.M., during interview, the DON verified there was no documentation revealing there was a referral for dental services within three days of the dentures being lost nor was there documentation of extenuating circumstances that led to the delay of dental services being provided. On 02/23/23 at 10:31 A.M., interview of Dental Services Representative #210 revealed dental services provided in the facility included x-rays, exams, cleanings, fillings, most extractions and dentures. The dental service automatically saw residents who had Medicaid services. Notices would be sent out for any private pay residents. The dental service would generally visit when residents were due to be seen. However there were only a few residents who were eligible to be seen at present so they would wait until most residents were due to be seen unless there was an emergency. Dental Services Representative #210 stated if a facility notified them of missing dentures they would seek approval for payment by Medicaid first or give the residents the option to pay privately. In that case, they would coordinate to visit the specific resident. Dental Services Representative #210 stated the facility called the dental service provider on 02/22/23 to schedule a visit. After reviewing the records for Resident #11, Dental Services Representative #210 stated the facility had not notified them that his dentures were missing. Dental Services Representative #210 stated Resident #11 had received dentures in 2022. Medicaid would only pay for dentures every eight years so new dentures would have to be paid for privately. 2. During an interview of Resident #14 on 02/21/23 at 12:40 P.M., Resident #14 was observed to have natural lower teeth but no upper teeth were observed. Review of Resident #14's medical record revealed diagnoses including disorientation, type 2 DM, and adult failure to thrive. An admission assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #14 had his own teeth but also indicated dentures fit. The assessment was silent as to the type of dentures Resident #14 had. A dietary note dated 12/16/22 at 10:29 A.M. indicated Resident #14 had lost dentures. Review of a Resident/Family/Staff concern form dated 12/09/22 indicated Resident #14's dentures were missing. Resident #14 stated he took them out in bed and did not know what happened to them. Staff searched the bedroom, laundry, and visible trash and were unable to find the dentures. Resident #14's name was placed on a list to be seen by the dentist. The facility was waiting on a date. On 02/22/23 at 11:11 A.M., during interview, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #104 stated Resident #14 had upper dentures when he was admitted but they were unable to be located about 1-1.5 months prior to the survey. Staff had removed everything from the room in attempts to locate the dentures without success. Resident #14 had no difficulty eating. Resident #14 would be seen when the dentist visited next. On 02/22/23 at 4:20 P.M., during interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the facility assessed a resident with lost dentures to see if it affected their intake and if it did they reached out for emergency dental services. If not, the residents were seen with the next visit. The DON stated she would look for documentation regarding any referral for dental services after the dentures were lost. The DON stated the facility was still waiting on the next dental visit to be scheduled. On 02/22/23 at 4:42 P.M., during interview, the Administrator provided a list that was provided to the dental service on 12/20/22 indicating Resident #14's name was on the list to be seen. On 02/23/23 at 7:00 A.M., during interview, the DON verified there was no documentation revealing there was a referral for dental services within three days of the dentures being lost nor was there documentation of extenuating circumstances that led to the delay of dental services being provided. On 02/23/23 at 10:31 A.M., interview of Dental Services Representative #210 revealed dental services provided in the facility included x-rays, exams, cleanings, fillings, most extractions and dentures. The dental service automatically saw residents who had Medicaid services. Notices would be sent out for any private pay residents. The dental service would generally visit when residents were due to be seen. However there were only a few residents who were eligible to be seen at present so they would wait until most residents were due to be seen unless there was an emergency. Dental Services Representative #210 stated if a facility notified them of missing dentures they would seek approval for payment by Medicaid first or give the residents the option to pay privately. In that case, they would coordinate to visit the specific resident. Dental Services Representative #210 stated the facility called the dental service provider on 02/22/23 to schedule a visit. After reviewing the records, Dental Services Representative #210 stated Resident #14 had not been seen by dental services yet and his initial visit would be with the next dental visit to the facility. The facility had not reported Resident #14's dentures were missing.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments accurately reflected diuretic medication use and psychotropic medication use. This affected four residents (#5, #7, #10 and #21) of 15 residents reviewed for assessments. Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included coronavirus (COVID-19), anemia, major depressive disorder, psychoactive substance abuse, opioid addiction, protein-calorie malnutrition, and chronic viral hepatitis. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) quarterly assessment, dated 10/27/22, inaccurately revealed that Resident #7 received diuretics for zero days during the look-back period. Review of a physician order, dated 10/15/21, revealed the order for Furosemide 20 milligrams (mg) one tablet, two times per day. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed that Resident #7 received Furosemide 20 mg, one tablet, two times per day, from 10/21/22 through 10/27/22. Interview on 02/22/23 at 9:45 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the MDS quarterly assessment, dated 10/27/22, contained an inaccurate assessment of Resident #7's diuretic use. 2. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included dementia, diabetes mellitus, psychotic disorder with delusions, major depressive disorder, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hypertension. Review of the MDS annual assessment, dated 12/12/22, inaccurately revealed that Resident #5 received diuretics for zero days during the look-back period. Review of a physician order, dated 10/21/22, revealed the order for Bumex one milligram (mg), one tablet, two times per day. Review of the MAR revealed that Resident #5 received Bumex one mg, one tablet, two times per day, from 12/06/22 through 12/12/22. Interview on 02/22/23 at 9:45 A.M. with the DON verified the MDS quarterly assessment, dated 10/27/22, contained an inaccurate assessment of Resident #5's diuretic use. 4. Review of Resident #21's medical record revealed an admission date of 09/19/22 with diagnoses including anxiety, major depressive disorder and insomnia. Review of the physician orders revealed medications including ambien (hypnotic) 10 milligrams (mg) daily at bedtime, venlafexine (antidepressant) extended release 75 mg twice a day; buspar (antianxiety) 10 mg twice a day. Review of the Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed the resident was cognitively intact but did not receive antianxiety, antidepressants or hypnotics during the assessment period. Review of the December 2022 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed the resident did receive the ordered medications during the assessment period, 12/21/22 through 12/27/22. On 02/23/23 at 11:34 A.M. interview with the DON verified the resident's MDS did not accurately reflect the medications the resident received. 3. Review of Resident #10's medical record revealed diagnoses including convulsions and hypertension. Review of the January 2023 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed Resident #10 received Furosemide (diuretic) 20 milligrams (mg) every morning for congestive heart failure between 01/06/23 and 01/12/23. A quarterly MDS dated [DATE] did not reflect the use of a diuretic over the seven day assessment period. On 02/22/23 at 9:43 A.M., during interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the MDS was coded incorrectly, verifying Resident #10 had received a diuretic.

Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to have the Resident's rights posted in the facility or evidence resident rights are reviewed with the residents outside of admission. This had the potential to affect 21 of 21 residents. The facility census was 21. Findings include: Observation of the facility during the survey on the days of 02/21/23, 02/22/23, and 02/23/23 revealed there were no postings of resident's rights available for the residents, in the facility. On 02/22/23 at 10:39 A.M. interview with Residents #7, #13, #14, and #15 at the Resident Council interview revealed the resident rights are not reviewed at the resident council meeting and none of the residents were aware of the rights being posted in the facility. The residents also stated they were unaware of what their rights were despite being residents of the facility. On 02/23/23 at 1:05 P.M. phone interview with Activities Director #116 revealed she schedules the Resident Council meetings, reminds the residents of the meeting day and time, and reviews the minutes for the previous month (including outcomes of the concerns). Resident's rights are not reviewed at council meetings unless the residents voice a concern. She is not aware of rights being posted anywhere in the facility, but she would get a copy to give a resident if they voiced a concern. On 02/23/23 at 2:25 P.M. interview and tour of the facility with Administrator #117 revealed Resident Rights are not posted in the facility. Record review of both the current admission packet and resident handbook revealed the resident rights are to be given to the resident on admission and reviewed regularly. Record review of resident council meeting minutes from 01/22 to 02/23 revealed no information was provided to residents on resident's rights.

Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure information was available for residents and their representatives on how to file a grievance and who the facility designated as a Grievance Official. This had the potential to affect 21 of the 21 residents in the facility. Facility census was 21. Findings include: Observation of the facility during the survey on the days of 02/21/23, 02/22/23, and 02/23/23 revealed there were no postings of how to file a grievance available for the residents, in the facility. On 02/22/23 at 10:39 A.M. interview with Residents #7, #13, #14, and #15 at the Resident Council interview revealed the residents did not know how to file a grievance. All residents present stated they would just tell someone they had a concern and it usually was addressed. Most of the time they are happy with the resolution but not always. Resident #14 stated he had not received his glasses that were ordered last year. The resident stated he had asked multiple staff but no one informed him of the situation with his glasses. On 02/23/23 at 11:35 A.M. interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #104 revealed the grievance forms are not at the nurse's station as stated in the admission packet and the Resident Handbook. LPN#104 stated if a resident asked to file a complaint or grievance, she would refer the resident to the Director of Nursing (DON) or the Administrator. On 02/23/23 at 11:37 A.M. interview with the DON revealed if the residents have a concern someone from administration or the activities director, who coordinates Resident Council, works with the resident to address the concern or fill out the grievance form. On 02/23/23 at 1:05 P.M. phone interview Activities Director #116 revealed she schedules the Resident Council meetings, reminds the residents of the meeting day and time, and review the minutes for the previous month (including outcomes of the concerns). She does not fill out the grievance forms but refers the residents to the Administrator or DON if concerns are not resolved. On 02/23/23 at 2:25 P.M. interview with Administrator #117 revealed the grievance process instructions were not posted in the facility. The forms are at the nurse's station and in the administration office. Most of the residents would need help filling out the form so the grievance process is addressed as concerns are raised by the residents. Review of the current resident handbook revealed a resident with a concern may complete a concern form which should be available at the Nursing Stations, Business office or Administrative office. There is also a Grievance Committee comprised of the Facility's staff, Residents, sponsors, or outside representatives in a ratio of not more than one staff member to every two Residents, sponsors, or outside representatives. Procedures are reviewed at least annually by the Facility with the advice of Residents, their sponsors, or both. Record review of resident council meeting minutes from 01/22 to 02/23 revealed no information provided to residents on how to file a grievance, no information that confidentiality will be maintained if a grievance is filed, and no information that the procedures have been reviewed with Resident input.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure accurate assessments were completed related to falls and anticoagulant medication use for Resident #12. This affected one of 15 residents reviewed for assessments. The facility census was 20. Findings included: Resident #12 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral infarction (stroke) and psychotic disorder with delusions, and vascular dementia with behavioral disturbance. Review of the current physician orders revealed Eliquis, an anticoagulant/blood thinner medication, was ordered on 03/22/18, five milligrams twice a day. Review of the Fall Incident Report dated 11/24/20 revealed Resident #12 fell from bed. The progress note dated 11/24/20 stated the nurse was called to the resident's room by the state tested nursing assistant (STNA) who opened the door to the room and observed him on the floor in front of his bed. The resident was assessed to have elevated blood pressure and pulse. The resident complained of right hip pain and was unable to move his right shoulder. His shoulder was painful when touched. The resident was transported to the hospital and returned to facility at 2:50 P.M. the same day. X-rays of the right humerus and right clavicle were negative. Contusion of his right shoulder and hip were noted. Review of the minimum data set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #12's fall on 11/24/20 was not reflected on this assessment. This assessment dated [DATE], the quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] and the quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed no documentation of Resident #12 receiving the anticoagulant, Eliquis, every day. Review of the medication administration records (MARs) for January, February, and March 2021 revealed Resident #12 received the Eliquis medication as prescribed. Interview with the Director of Nursing on 04/21/21 at 10:44 A.M. verified these assessments were inaccurate and did not accurately reflect Resident #12's fall or use of Eliquis.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, interview and policy review the facility failed to ensure pressure ulcer assessments were completed at least weekly and individualized pressure relieving interventions were initiated in a timely manner for Resident #2. This affected one of one resident reviewed for pressure ulcers. Findings include: Review of the medical record revealed Resident #2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including non-pressure ulcer of the lower leg, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, benign neoplasm of the penis, morbid obesity, cellulitis, depression, schizophrenia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The facesheet indicated his original admission date was 05/01/20 and the initial admission date was 01/22/21. Review of the current plan of care dated 06/11/20 (date on this plan of care was listed as being from 2020) revealed Resident #2 was a risk for impaired skin integrity related to impaired circulation, impaired mobility, wound ulcers, obesity, diabetes, and peripheral vascular disease. Interventions included barrier cream after each incontinent episode as needed, encourage fluids, pad and protect the skin as needed, pillows for repositioning, and pressure reduction devices (no specific devices were listed). All of the interventions listed had an implementation date of 06/11/20 and were not specific and individualized to Resident #2's current physical condition, including his actual pressure ulcer. Review of the admission physician's orders dated 01/22/21 revealed Resident #2 was admitted to the facility with treatment orders to cleanse open areas on his right and left buttocks with normal saline, pat dry and apply a border foam dressing until healed. Review of the admission Skin Grid Pressure form dated 01/22/21 revealed Resident #2 was admitted with an unstageable pressure ulcer to the left buttock which measured 2.6 centimeters (cm) in length by 0.8 cm in width by 0.0 cm in depth. This document indicated the area was pressure related, had a scab over it and was unstageable. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #2 had moderately impaired cognition, required extensive assistance from staff for bed mobility, and had one unstageable pressure ulcer with slough. According to the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP), unstageable pressure ulcers are ulcers with a full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough (yellow, tan, gray, greenish or brown tissue) and/or eschar (tan, brown or black tissue). The base of the ulcer is used to denote the inability to determine the depth and stage of the ulcer since visualization of the wound bed is not possible due to slough/eschar. Review of the Skin Grid Pressure form dated 02/01/21, 10 days after the initial assessment, revealed Resident #2's pressure ulcer was now identified as a stage three sacral wound. The NPUAP defines a stage three pressure ulcer as a full-thickness tissue loss in which subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon or muscle are not exposed. Slough may be present but does not obscure depth of tissue loss and undermining and tunneling may be present. This assessment indicated the pressure ulcer had deteriorated and measured 5.0 cm in length by 5.0 cm in width by 1.0 cm in depth. There was 20 percent slough covering the wound, with a moderate amount of serosanguinous drainage. The peri-wound was discolored and macerated. The physician was notified but no new treatment orders were given. Review of the Skin Grid Pressure form dated 02/08/21 revealed Resident #2's sacral pressure ulcer declined again and now measured 8.0 cm in length by 8.0 cm in width by 0.2 in depth. This assessment indicated the pressure ulcer areas to the left and right buttock combined into one pressure ulcer at the sacral area with soft, yellowish-brown slough covering most of the wound, a foul odor was present, and a moderate amount of serosanguinous drainage. The treatment order was changed this date and directed nurses to cleanse the open area to the sacrum with normal saline, apply calcium alginate silver (a highly absorbent gel-like covering with silver which promotes wound healing and assists in killing bacteria), cover with a border foam to be changed two times a week and as needed. Review of the Skin Grid Pressure form dated 03/01/21 revealed the open areas to the right and left buttocks had combined into one pressure ulcer which measured 6.0 cm in length by 5.0 cm in width by 3.0 cm in depth. The ulcer edges were dark brown in color and there was a very foul odor. The pressure ulcer was wound was now a Stage 3 pressure ulcer. The assessment indicated the pressure ulcer had declined. Review of the Skin Grid Pressure form dated 03/08/21 revealed Resident #2's sacral pressure ulcer had declined and measured 6.0 cm in length by 5.0 cm in width by 4.0 cm in depth with tunneling present at 12 o'clock which was 5.0 cm deep. The treatment was changed this date for nursing staff to apply a negative pressure wound vacuum to the sacral pressure ulcer with continuous pressure at 125 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). They were to cleanse the wound with normal saline, apply foam to the wound bed, cover with clear transparent dressing, change the dressing twice weekly and indicated the foam should never touch the intact surrounding skin. Review of physician orders dated 03/18/21 revealed new orders for Resident #2 to have an alternating air mattress to his bed and for him to be referred to Union Hospital Wound Clinic. Review of the Skin Grid Pressure form dated 04/19/21 revealed the sacral wound of Resident #2 was a Stage 3 pressure wound which measured 5.0 cm in length by 3.0 cm in width by 4.1 cm in depth with tunneling at 12 o'clock which was 2.7 cm deep. There was a large amount of bloody drainage with no odor. Observation of the wound could not be completed as Resident #2 continued to be treated with the wound vacuum and it was only changed three times a week. The resident left the faciity on [DATE] at 1:45 P.M. to go to a physician's appointment and the wound vacuum was reapplied there. Interview on 04/22/21 at 10:15 A.M. with the DON verified Resident #2 had no specific, individualized pressure relieving interventions in place until 03/18/21 when the alternating air mattress was ordered, weekly pressure ulcer assessments were not completed from 01/22/21 to 02/01/21 (10 days) and there were declines noted in the pressure ulcer. The DON stated Resident #2 was supposed to be started on collagen on 02/01/21 but she could not find a physician order written for this supplement. Interview on 04/26/21 at 4:45 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the plan of care for Resident #2 had not been updated since his last admission to the facility and was dated 06/11/20. The DON verified no resident specific interventions, including pressure relieving interventions, were implemented until the alternating air mattress was ordered on 03/18/21, after the pressure ulcer declined. Review the facility policy, Skin Assessment Monitoring or Healing Process Policy and Procedure, dated 01/01/16, revealed a nurse would assess ulcers and wounds at the time of admission, re-admission, a significant change and weekly thereafter until healed. Review of the facility policy, Skin Assessment and Documentation Policy and Procedure, dated 01/01/16, revealed pressure ulcers were to be measured once a week and as needed for any changes in the wound.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure fingernails of four dependent residents, Resident #2, #5, #14, and #15, were cleaned/trimmed. This affected four of four residents reviewed for activities of daily living (ADLs). Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses of non-pressure ulcer of the lower leg, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, benign neoplasm of the penis, morbid obesity, cellulitis, depression, schizophrenia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Review of the current plan of care dated 06/11/20 (re-used from a previous admission) revealed Resident #2 was at risk for a decline in ADL function related to weakness, obesity, and wounds on his legs. Interventions included: allow time for rest breaks, break tasks down so ADL's are easier for the resident to perform, encourage resident participation, provide necessary adaptive equipment to meet daily needs, and staff to anticipate needs and assist as needed. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #2 had moderately impaired cognition and required extensive assistance from staff for ADLs.
