Residents Affected - Few Based on interview and record review, the facility's Quality Assessment and Assurance (QAA) failed to ensure effective oversight of the facility and implementation of the facility's plan of correction (POC) of the deficient practices identified during the previous recertification.

This deficient practice resulted in the facility to have repeat deficiencies in comprehensive resident centered care plans, competent nursing staff, safe operating equipment, and the prevention of a decrease in range of motion (ROM- full movement potential of a joint).

Findings:

During a review of the facility's Statement of Deficiencies for the 2024 Recertification survey indicated the following repeat deficiencies in comprehensive resident centered care plans, competent nursing staff, safe operating equipment, and the prevention of a decrease in range of motion (ROM).

During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/11/2025 at with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated she will continue to work on and make further changes for the issues that were still areas of concerns. The DON stated they need to improve their care plan process, increase the frequency for monitoring of equipment, ensure the staff are responsible and being held accountable when checking the freezer temperatures, and increase staff education regarding ROM by providing in-services for the licensed nurses performing the ROM exercises.

During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Quality Assurance Performance Improvement Committee (QAPI), dated 1/2017, the P&P indicated, The purpose of the QAPI committee is to provide a systematic self-evaluation process to identify and resolve problems. Input from regulatory agencies and consultants will be integrated in the QAPI committee review process (i.e. survey, complaint visits). The committee is responsible for overseeing the entire quality improvement program. It identifies and prioritizes issues for QAPI evaluation and aspects of care and monitors implementation of action plans recommended.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 49145 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain and observe infection Residents Affected - Some control practices by failing to:

a.Change and label tube feeding water bag for Resident 28.

b.Perform hand hygiene during wound care dressing change for Resident 56.

c.Ensure Physical Therapist 1 (PT 1) wore an isolation gown (protective apparel used to protect the wearer from the transfer of microorganisms and body fluids) while assessing Resident 14's left leg which required direct contact with Resident 14 who was on Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP, infection control intervention using gown and gloves during high contact resident care activities designed reduce the transmission of multi-drug-resistant organisms).

d. Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 5 failed to sanitize blood pressure cuff in between residents.

e. Ensure sanitary handling and transport of soiled linens.

These deficient practice had the potential to result in cross contamination (the physical movement or transfer of harmful bacteria from one person, object, or place to another) and place the residents at risk for the spread of infection.

Findings:

a. During a review of Resident 28's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated Resident 28 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including hypertension ([HTN]- high blood pressure) and hemiplegia (weakness on one side of the body).

F 0741 During an interview on 4/10/2025, at 1:38 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 4), LVN 4 stated the resident did not show any behavioral symptoms for PTSD and was not aware what could trigger resident's Level of Harm - Minimal harm or PTSD. potential for actual harm

During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 53's Brief Trauma Questionnaire and IDT Care Residents Affected - Few Conference Summary dated 2/4/2025 with Director of Social Service (DSS), DSS confirmed the resident had PTSD as one of the diagnoses but did not know what could trigger resident's behavior for PTSD. DSS stated

the Brief Trauma Questionnaire did not indicate resident's history of military service or exposure to war. DSS stated Resident 53's Brief Trauma Questionnaire and Life Event Checklist did not identify resident's exposure to traumatic events like war because resident was not properly screened and assessed. DSS stated Resident 53 would not receive appropriate services that would address his PTSD, and the facility should be able to identify what could trigger Resident 53's PTSD so a plan of care could be created to manage his behavior.

During an interview on 4/11/2025, at 2:48 p.m. with Director of Nursing(DON), DON stated it's important to properly screen and identify residents who had PTSD to ensure necessary services and care will be provided to the residents. DON stated knowing what could trigger the behavior will help with the management and development of plan of care.

During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Trauma informed Care revised 1/2020, the P&P indicated the Social Service personnel will complete a Brief Trauma Questionnaire and Life Events Checklist that will serve as an assessment tool to determine if the resident had sustained a serious or traumatic life event. The P&P indicated the facility would have sufficient staff that would provide nursing and related services. The P &P indicated based on the comprehensive assessment will receive appropriate treatment and services to correct the assessed problem of a resident who displays or is diagnosed with a mental disorder or who has history of trauma and PTSD.

F 0812 Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food

in accordance with professional standards. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 45269

Residents Affected - Some Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to:

1. Ensure open bag of frozen sausages was stored properly in the freezer.

2. Ensure freezer temperature was maintained at 0-degree Fahrenheit (F-unit of measurement) while frozen vegetables were stored.

3. Ensure gloves were used by kitchen staff when serving cooked food during tray line.

4. Ensure proper donning of glove and handwashing was observed when the [NAME] switched tasks from tray line to prepare food in the microwave.

These failures had the potential to put residents at risk for food-borne illnesses ( any illness resulting from ingestion of food contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or parasites) and affect the quality of food.

Findings:

1.During an initial kitchen observation and interview on 4/8/2025, at 8:01 a.m. with Dietary Manager (DM), an open bag of frozen sausages was inside an open box. Observed the frozen sausages had ice crystals on the surfaces.DM stated the open bag of frozen sausages should be stored in a sealed plastic bag.

During an interview on 4/9/2025, at 1:30 p.m. with Registered Dietician (RD), RD stated open bag of frozen sausages not properly sealed can affect the quality of food. RD stated the kitchen staff should have transferred the frozen sausages in zip lock bag or tied the bag to preserve the moisture because the frozen food could dry out and can be exposed to bacteria.

During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Procedure for Freezer Storage undated, the P&P indicated to store frozen foods in an airtight moisture-resistant wrapper such as a plastic bag or freezer paper to prevent freezer burn (is a result of moisture loss from frozen food due improper packaging or storage).

2. During an initial kitchen tour observation on 4/8/2025, at 8:01 a.m. with Dietary Manager (DM), DM verified

the internal thermometer of the reach in freezer for frozen vegetables was reading at 10 degrees F and the reach in freezer for meat products was reading at 24 degrees F. DM stated the kitchen personnel just removed some food items from the freezers that's why the temperatures are not 0-degree F on both freezers.

During an interview on 4/8/2025, 2:15 p.m. with an unnamed technician (UT) in the kitchen, the UT stated that they were called to fix the freezers around noontime today because the temperatures were high. Observed the freezer's temperature was 10 degrees F for frozen vegetables and freezer for frozen meat products was at18 degrees F.

During an interview on 4/9/2025, at 1:46 p.m. with RD, RD stated the temperature log of the freezer might not be reliable because it all indicated the temperatures are 0-degree F for several days and the situation could be going on for days. RD stated they should have discarded everything in the freezer because the facility does not know how long it had not been working. RD stated she was aware not all the food items stored in the non-working freezer was thrown away and was served for lunch today.

During an interview on 4/9/2025, at 2:24 p.m. with Maintenance Supervisor, MS stated he was made aware yesterday by the DM about the non-working freezer.

Residents Affected - Some Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of seven sampled resident's (Residents 14 and 19) medical records were accurately documented when:

a.Resident 14's Joint Mobility Assessments (JMA, a brief assessment of a resident's ROM in both arms and both legs), dated 9/10/2024, 12/11/2024, and 3/13/2025, inaccurately indicated Resident 14 had a left above knee amputation (AKA, surgical removal of a limb above the level of the knee) instead of the correct diagnosis of a left below knee amputation (BKA, surgical removal of a limb below the level of the knee involving the removal of the foot and ankle joint).

b.Resident 19's Restorative Nursing Aide (nursing aide program that help residents maintain any progress made after therapy intervention to maintain their function) physician's order inaccurately indicated for RNA to use a two-wheeled walker (mobility aid with wheels on the front two legs of the device) for walking exercises with Resident 19 instead of a platform walker (PFW, a type of walking assistive device with forearm supports to provide extra support during walking) as recommended by Physical Therapy (PT, profession aimed in the restoration, maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function).

These deficient practices had the potential to negatively impact the provision of necessary care and services, cause miscommunication among staff, cause a decline in function and safety concerns due to inappropriate use of assistive devices for mobility, and result in missed ROM assessments and opportunities to detect declines in joint range of motion (ROM, full movement potential of a joint).

Findings:

a.During a review of Resident 14's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated Resident 14 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and readmitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including a left below knee amputation (BKA, surgical removal of a limb [extremities] below the level of the knee involving the removal of

the foot and ankle joint), chronic ulcer (sore that forms on the skin or the lining of an organ typically caused by damage to the skin or lining and does not heal properly) of the right leg, and polyneuropathy (damage of

the nerves that can cause weakness, numbness, and burning pain).

During a review of Resident 14's Quarterly Joint Mobility Assessment (JMA, a brief assessment of a resident's ROM in both arms and both legs), dated 9/10/2024, the JMA indicated Resident 14 had moderate ROM limitations (50 to 75% motion) in both shoulders and minimal ROM limitations (75 to 100% motion) in both hips and the right ankle. The JMA diagrams of the left knee assessment and left ankle assessment were crossed out and indicated Resident 14 had a left above knee amputation (AKA, surgical removal of a limb above the level of the knee joint).

in both legs.

During a review of Resident 14's Annual JMA dated 12/11/2024, the JMA indicated Resident 14 had moderate ROM limitations in both shoulders and minimal ROM limitations in both hips and the right ankle.

The JMA diagrams of the left knee assessment and left ankle assessment were crossed out and indicated Resident 14 had a left AKA. The section titled, Problem Summary, indicated Resident 14 had a left AKA and ROM limitations in both shoulders and the right leg.

During a review of Resident 14's Quarterly JMA dated 3/13/2025, the JMA indicated Resident 14 had moderate ROM limitations in both shoulders and minimal ROM limitations in both hips and the right ankle.

The JMA diagrams of the left knee assessment and left ankle assessment were crossed out and indicated Resident 14 had a left AKA. The section titled, Problem Summary, indicated Resident 14 had no ROM changes.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/8/2025 at 12:40 pm, Resident 14 was lying in bed. Resident 14's right leg was fully straight and wrapped with an elastic bandage from the ankle to the knee. Resident 14's left leg was amputated below the level of the knee. Resident 14 was able to actively bend both knees and the right ankle minimally.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/10/2025 at 10:46 am, the Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC) and Minimum Data Set Assistant (MDSA) stated the facility monitored for changes in joint ROM by annual JMAs completed by Rehab, quarterly JMAs completed by nursing, and by staff report.

The MDSC stated the MDSC and MDSA performed the quarterly nursing JMAs. The MDSC and MDSA stated the JMA assessment involved a detailed assessment of each resident's joints of both arms and both legs and indicated any ROM limitations and recommendations for services as needed to address any declines. The MDSC and MDSA reviewed Resident 14's JMAs and clinical record. The MDSC and MDSA confirmed the JMAs, dated 9/10/2024, 12/11/2024, and 3/13/2025, indicated Resident 14 had a left AKA and did not include assessments of Resident 14's left knee. The MDSC and MDSA confirmed Resident 14 had a left BKA, not a left AKA as was incorrectly documented on the JMAs. The MDSC and MDSA stated Resident 19's left knee ROM should have been assessed but was not and was unsure why it was overlooked for multiple JMAs. The MDSC stated it may have been mistakenly overlooked since the diagrams of the left knee and left ankle assessments were crossed out and incorrectly indicated Resident 14 had a left AKA. The MDSC stated inaccurate documentation could potentially result in missed opportunities to identify ROM declines, ROM decline, and inappropriate delivery of necessary care and services.

PT 1 asked Resident 14 to bend the left knee. Resident 14 bent the Level of Harm - Minimal harm or left knee minimally. PT 1 reviewed Resident 14's JMAs, dated 9/10/2024, 12/11/2024, and 3/13/2025, and potential for actual harm confirmed the JMAs incorrectly indicated Resident 14 had a left AKA, instead of the correct diagnosis of a left BKA. PT 1 stated it was important JMAs were completed accurately as incorrect documentation could affect Residents Affected - Some future assessments and services provided, lead to missed opportunities to identify declines, and result in ROM decline.

b. During a review of Resident 19's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated Resident 19 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and readmitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including a right hemiplegia (weakness to one side of the body) and difficulty walking.

During a review of Resident 19's MDS, dated [DATE REDACTED], the MDS indicated Resident 19 was cognitively intact.

The MDS indicated Resident 19 required substantial/maximal assistance with eating, partial/moderate assistance with walking, and was dependent for hygiene, bathing, toileting, dressing, and rolling to both sides. The MDS indicated Resident 19 had functional limitations in ROM in both arms.

During a review of Resident 19's RNA/Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Referral Form, dated 3/25/2025, the RNA/CNA Referral Form indicated for RNA to assist Resident 19 with walking exercises using a platform walker, every day, five times a week.

During a review of Resident 19's Physician Order Summary Report, the Physician Order Summary Report indicated a order, dated 3/25/2025, for RNA to assist Resident 19 with walking exercises using a two-wheeled walker, every day, five times a week.

During an observation on 4/8/2025 at 11:04 am, observed Resident 19 was seated in a power wheelchair in

The fingers of Resident 19's left hand was positioned with the thumb in hyperextension (the extension of a body part beyond it's normal limits) and the middle finger, ring finger, and small fingers bent into a fist.

During an observation of Resident 19's RNA session on 4/10/2025 at 8:45 am, in the hallway, Resident 19 was seated in a power wheelchair with a platform walker positioned in front of him. Resident 19 leaned forward, grabbed the handlebars of the platform walker, put his upper body weight onto the platform walker with both forearms, and stood up with Restorative Nursing Aide 1 (RNA 1) and Restorative Nursing Aide 2 (RNA 2)'s assistance. Resident 19 walked two laps around the facility with RNA 1 and RNA 2's assistance, sat down in power wheelchair, and remained seated in the hallway at the end of the session.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/10/25 at 9:40 am, RNA 1 and RNA 2 reviewed Resident 19's RNA orders and RNA/CNA Referral Form. RNA 1 confirmed Resident 19's RNA orders and RNA/CNA Referral Form instructions did not match. RNA 1 stated PT instructed the RNAs to use a platform walker when performing walking exercises with Resident 19 during RNA training. RNA 1 and RNA 2 stated Resident 19 would be unable to grasp the handles of a two-wheeled walker because the ROM of both of his hands were very limited.

F 0842 During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/10/2025 at 10:01 am, the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) stated a licensed therapist determined the type of exercises and assistive devices a resident used for Level of Harm - Minimal harm or RNA services and established an RNA program for the RNAs to carry out. The DOR stated the licensed potential for actual harm therapist wrote the details of the RNA program on the RNA/CNA Referral Form and entered the RNA order into the electronic charting system. The DOR reviewed Resident 19's RNA order, dated 3/25/2025, and the Residents Affected - Some RNA/CNA Referral Form, dated 3/25/2025, and confirmed Resident 19's RNA order was written incorrectly.

The DOR stated the PT wrote for RNA to use a platform walker with Resident 19 for walking exercises on the RNA/CNA Referral Form and incorrectly wrote for RNA to use a two-wheeled walker for walking exercises on

the RNA order. The DOR stated if documentation was inaccurate, it could lead to RNAs providing the incorrect type of service, using an incorrect or unsafe device, and could result in the resident not being able to safely perform the activity or exercises prescribed.

During an interview on 4/11/2025 at 10:17 am, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was important documentation was accurate to ensure the staff had a correct assessment of a resident's status and provided the appropriate care and services. The DON stated if documentation was inaccurate, it could lead to inappropriate delivery of care and services, missed opportunities to identify declines or problem areas, safety concerns, and the development and implementation of an inaccurate care plan.

During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Documentation Principles, revised 2/2018,

the P&P indicated resident's clinical records shall be current and kept in detail consistent with good medical and professional practice based on the care provided for each resident. The P&P indicated entries must be accurate, timely, objective, specific, concise, legible, clear and descriptive.
