Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 238) identified as at risk for seizures was free from accidents by failing to ensure a physician's ordered bilateral (both sides) padded side rails were placed on Resident 238's bed.
This deficient practice placed Resident 238 at increased risk for falls injuries during a seizure (a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed, causing seizures/convulsions).
Findings:
A review of Resident 238's Admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnosis including epilepsy and hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body) and hemiparesis (condition that causes weakness or an inability to move on one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (occurs as a result of disrupted blood flow to the brain) affecting left non-dominant side and aphasia (a disorder that makes it difficult to speak).
A review of Resident 238's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 11/27/2024, indicated the resident was severely impaired in cognitive skills (ability to think, read, learn, remember, reason, express thoughts, and make decisions) for daily decision making and was dependent (helper does all the help) from the staff for activities of daily living.
A review of Resident 238's physician's order dated 9/20/2024, indicated an active physician's order for bilateral 1/2 padded siderails.
A review of Resident 238's care plan revised on 10/26/2024, indicated the resident was at risk for recurrent seizure episodes. The care plan indicated interventions which included padded side rails on bed as indicated.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/06/2025 at 2:13 PM with Licensed Vocation Nurse 8 (LVN 8) in Resident 238's room, LVN 8 confirmed Resident 238 only had one padded side rail on the bed and needed two padded side rails. LVN 8 stated it was important both side rails were padded to prevent injury during a seizure.
During an interview on 1/09/2025 at 2:23 PM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated seizure precautions included padded side rails to prevent injury during a seizure.
During an interview on 1/10/2025 at 11:01 AM, the DON stated the facility did not have a policy for seizure precautions that indicated padded siderails. The DON stated resident 238 had a seizure care plan that indicated padded side rails as needed, which meant the resident needed both side rails padded. The DON stated it was important to follow the resident's care plan interventions because it guided the needs of the residents.

LVN 10 then administered the one scoop of psyllium husk dissolved in four-ounce water, along with a cup of four-ounce water on the side to Resident 256. LVN 10 stated not using prescribed amount of water would have been a medication error and increased the risk for Resident 256 to not be treated for constipation. LVN 10 stated if the psyllium husk was not completely dissolved in prescribed eight ounces of water, there was a risk for Resident 256 to get side effects such as constipation or diarrhea.

LVN 16 stated she should only document medications that were administered and should not have documented lidocaine patch as administered on 1/6/2025 when it was not administered. LVN 16 stated the documentation on 1/6/25 was inaccurate and increased the risk of medication errors. LVN 16 stated Resident 256 received additional lidocaine because the patches dated 1/5/2025 were not removed from both knees on 1/6/2025.

F 0814 Dispose of garbage and refuse properly.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 38740 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the trash stored in the Residents Affected - Few dumpster areas was maintained in sanitary manner.
One of five garbage dumpster was overfilled with trash bags and uncovered. The floor area around the trash dumpsters was not clean, there was disposable gloves, paper, and food.
This deficient practice had the potential for harborage and feeding of pests.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview with DS and Facility Maintenance Manager (FMM) on 1/6/2025 at 2:00PM, one large dumpster outside of the food storage area was not covered. The dumpster was overfilled with trash bags and not covered. There was trash on the floor including disposable gloves and melted ice cream.
During a concurrent interview with DS, DS stated the dumpster lids should be covered and there should not be trash on the floor. DS stated everyone uses the trash bins and it's not only dietary staff.
During the same observation, FMM stated housekeeping cleans the area per shift and this must have happened after lunch shift. FMM stated trash bins should be covered and floors kept clean free of food debris to prevent attracting flies and pests in the facility.
A review of facility policy and procedures titled Trash Collection and Removal (dated 11/2023) indicated, Trash bags will be tightly closed, put into covered transport carts, and taken to the outdoor trash bins. Bags will be deposited into the trash bins/receptacles and lids will be closed.
A review of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Code 2022 dated 1/18/2023, code number 5-501.113 titled Covering receptacles, indicated: receptacles and waste handling units for refuse, recyclables, and returnable shall be kept covered with tight-fitting lids or doors if kept outside the establishment. The Food Code also indicated under code number 5-501.110 titled Storing Refuse, Recyclables, and Returnable indicated refuse, recyclables, and returnable shall be stored in receptacles or waste handling units so that
they are inaccessible to insects and rodents.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 36943 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide therapy services, including Residents Affected - Some Occupational Therapy ([OT] profession aimed to increase or maintain a person's capability of participating in everyday life activities [occupations]) and Physical Therapy ([PT] profession aimed in the restoration, maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function) to one of nine sampled residents (Resident 96) with range of motion ([ROM] full movement potential of a joint [where two bones meet]) and mobility (ability to move) concerns in accordance with Resident 96's physician signed care plans for OT and PT.
This failure resulted in Resident 96 not receiving OT and PT interventions from 10/9/2024 to 10/29/2024 to improve activities of daily living ([ADLs] tasks related to personal care including bathing, dressing, hygiene, eating, and mobility) and potentially contributed to Resident 96's further ROM limitations in both knees.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 96's Admission Record, the facility admitted Resident 96 on 3/7/2024 and readmitted on [DATE REDACTED]. The Admission Record indicated Resident 96's diagnoses including a history of falling and adult failure to thrive (a decline caused by chronic diseases and functional impairments which can cause weight loss, decreased appetite, poor nutrition, and inactivity).
During a review of Resident 96's census (record of hospitalization s, room changes, and payer source changes), the census indicated Resident 96 was discharged to the hospital on 10/4/2024 and readmitted to
the facility on [DATE REDACTED].
During a review of Resident 96's PT Evaluation and Plan of Treatment, dated 10/9/2024, the PT Evaluation indicated Resident 96 had poor appetite, less interactive, and tested positive for Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19,
an infectious viral disease that can cause respiratory illness) prior to hospitalization . The PT Evaluation indicated Resident 96 was referred to PT due to impaired mobility and impaired ability to safely ambulate (walk). The PT Evaluation indicated Resident 96 had within functional limits ([WFL] sufficient movement without significant limitation) ROM in both legs. The PT Plan of Treatment included therapeutic exercises (movement prescribed to correct impairments and restore muscle function), neuromuscular reeducation (technique used to restore movement patterns through repetitive motion to retrain the brain), gait training therapy (training for walking), and therapeutic activities (tasks that improve the ability to perform activities of daily living [ADLs, tasks related to personal care including bathing, dressing, hygiene, eating, and mobility]), three times per week for four weeks. Resident 96's physician signed the PT Evaluation and Plan of Treatment on 10/11/2024.
During further review of Resident 96's PT Evaluation and Plan of Treatment, dated 10/9/2024, the PT Evaluation indicated Resident 96's short-term and long-term goals were changed on 10/29/2024 (20 days later). Resident 96's updated short-term and long-term goals included for Resident 96 to wearing both knee extension splints (material used to restrict, protect, or immobilize a part of the body to support function, assist and/or increase range of motion). Resident 96's physician signed the PT Evaluation and Plan of Treatment with the updated goals on 11/2/2024.
