F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 47151 Residents Affected - Few Based on observations, record review and interviews, the facility failed to ensure three (#97, #37 and #47) of eight residents reviewed for accident hazards out of 36 sample residents remained as free from accidents as possible.

Resident #97, who was known to be at risk for falls, was admitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses of dementia, hearing impairment, unsteady and shuffling gait, and right sided weakness. The facility initiated a fall care plan which included interventions of anticipating and meeting the resident's needs, encouraging rest periods when signs of fatigue were noted, ensuring that the resident wore appropriate footwear when ambulating and keeping the resident in line of sight as needed.

Resident #97 sustained falls with injury on 12/30/24 (abrasion to the right side of his head), 1/12/25 (laceration to his head) and 1/19/25 (abrasion to the back of his head). Resident #97 was sent to the emergency department (ED) for evaluation and treatment after each of the three falls.

However, the facility failed to implement new fall interventions until 1/22/25 (after the third fall), when an intervention of a soft helmet for the resident to wear while awake was initiated.

On 2/22/25 Resident #97 experienced another fall while ambulating in the hallway which resulted in a laceration to the back of his head and required the resident to again be sent to the ED for evaluation and treatment of a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding into the space between the brain and the arachnoid membrane, one of the protective layers covering the brain). The facility failed to implement any new fall interventions upon the resident's return to the facility on [DATE REDACTED].

On 2/24/25 Resident #97 experienced another fall on 2/24/25 that resulted in a large amount of bleeding to

the resident's head in the same area as the resident's laceration that resulted from his fall on 2/22/25. The resident still had staples in his head from the previous fall on 2/22/25. The resident was again sent to the ED where he received six additional sutures for treatment of the laceration. The resident returned to the facility

on [DATE REDACTED] and the facility ordered a medical grade ribcap helmet (a medical grade helmet which offers 360 degree protection to the head).

Staff interviews during the survey (see interviews below) revealed Resident #97 was not wearing the soft helmet initiated on 1/22/25 when he fell on [DATE REDACTED] and 2/24/25 and the facility failed to ensure Resident #97 was encouraged to wear his safety helmet prior to his falls on 2/22/25 and 2/24/25.

Due to the facility's failure to implement timely and effective interventions following each of Resident #97's falls, and the facility's failure to ensure care planned interventions were followed, the resident sustained head injuries, which required transfer to and treatment in the ED, from multiple falls.

Additionally, the facility failed to ensure staff transferred Resident #37 and Resident #47 appropriately, according to their documented transfer status.

Environmental risk factors that contribute to the risk of falls include wet floors, poor lighting, incorrect bed height or width, obstacles in the footpath, improperly fitted or maintained wheelchairs and footwear that is unsafe or absent. Resident conditions that may contribute to the risk of falls include fever, infection, delirium and cognitive impairment, pain, lower extremity weakness, poor grip strength, medication side effects, orthostatic hypertension, functional impairments, visual deficits and incontinence. Medical factors that contribute to the risk of falls include arthritis, heart failure, anemia, neurological disorders and balance and gait disorders.

If falling recurs despite initial interventions, staff will implement additional or different interventions, or indicate why the current approach remains relevant. If underlying causes cannot be readily identified or corrected, staff will try various interventions, based on the assessment of the nature or category of falling, until falling is reduced or stopped, or until the reason for the continuation of the falling is identified as unavoidable. In conjunction with the attending physician, staff will identify and implement relevant interventions to try to minimize serious consequences of falling.

The staff will monitor and document each resident's response to interventions intended to reduce falling or

the risks of falling. If the resident continues to fall, staff will re-evaluate the situation and whether it is appropriate to continue or change current interventions. As needed, the attending physician will help the staff reconsider possible causes that may not have been previously identified.

CNA #2 was interviewed on 3/26/25 at 10:13 a.m. CNA #2 said Resident #47 usually needed to use a hoyer lift to transfer. CNA #2 said in the mornings, if Resident #47 felt good he could stand, but he generally needed to use the hoyer lift. CNA #2 said they would often only have one CNA to operate a hoyer lift rather than two, but over the last two months they had enough staff to have two staff members operating the hoyer lifts.

LPN #1 was interviewed on 3/26/25 at 10:34 a.m. LPN #1 said Resident #47 needed to transfer with the hoyer lift, but sometimes had good days where he did not need to use the lift. LPN #1 said Resident #47 needed to use the hoyer lift since he had a decline the month prior.

-However, according to the resident's care plan, the resident had been care planned to use a hoyer lift for transfers since 4/29/24 (see care plan above).

The director of rehabilitation (DOR) was interviewed on 3/26/25 at 12:56 p.m. The DOR said Resident #47 needed to be transferred with a hoyer lift at all times.

The MDS coordinator (MDSC) was interviewed on 3/26/25 at 3:36 p.m. The MDSC said Resident #47 needed to be transferred using the hoyer lift exclusively. The MDSC said Resident #47 had multiple sclerosis and was wheelchair-bound when he was admitted but had experienced a continuous decline in mobility. The MDSC said Resident #47 used to transfer by stand and pivot method but had a few falls in which his legs buckled under him. The MDSC said Resident #47's fall in February 2025 was related to a transfer during which he tried to self-transfer and was caught by the facility staff. The MDSC said Resident #47's fall in December 2024 occurred as a CNA was transferring him in the shower room and he fell .

The DON was interviewed on 3/26/25 at 4:40 p.m. The DON said Resident #47 needed to be transferred with a hoyer lift at all times. The DON said Resident #47 used to transfer via stand and pivot a year prior (2024). The DON said Resident #47's fall on 12/31/24 went directly against the facility's no-lift policy.

The DON said Resident #47 was a known hoyer lift user and the resident could not coordinate balancing weight on his legs. The DON said the CNA was trying to transfer Resident #47 to his wheelchair when he fell

on [DATE REDACTED]. The DON said Resident #47's fall on 2/6/25 was unwitnessed. The DON said Resident #47 had rolled out of bed and onto the floor.

-However, the facility fall report documented Resident #47's fall as witnessed, and the IDT note on 2/7/25 documented the fall occurred during a transfer and the CNA lowered the resident to the floor due to weakness (see record review above).

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 47151 potential for actual harm Based on observations, record review and interviews, the facility failed to ensure one (#50) of three residents Residents Affected - Few out of 36 sample residents received the care and services necessary to meet their nutrition needs to maintain their highest level of physical well-being.

Specifically, the facility failed to weigh Resident #50, who was identified to have potential nutrition problems, upon admission to monitor the resident's nutritional status.

Findings include:

I. Facility policy and procedure

The Weight Assessment and Interventions policy, revised March 2022, was provided by the nursing home administrator (NHA) on 3/26/25 at 9:09 a.m. It read in pertinent part, Residents weights are monitored for undesirable or united weight loss or gain. Residents are weighed upon admission and at intervals established by the interdisciplinary team (IDT). Weights are recorded in each unit's weight record chart and

in the individual's medical record. Any weight change of 5% or more since the last weight assessment is retaken the next day for confirmation. If the weight is verified, nursing will immediately notify the dietitian in writing.

Care planning for weight loss or impaired nutrition is a multidisciplinary effort and includes the physician, nursing staff, the dietitian, the consultant pharmacist and the resident or resident's legal surrogate. If a resident declines to participate in a weight loss goal, the dietitian will document the resident's wishes and those wishes will be respected.

II. Resident #50

Resident #50, age greater than 65, was admitted on [DATE REDACTED]. According to the March 2025 computerized physician orders (CPO), diagnoses included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a lung disease with airway obstruction), chronic respiratory failure, type 2 diabetes mellitus, opioid dependence, history of venous thrombosis and embolism (condition involving blood clots), hypertension and stage 2 and stage 3 pressure ulcers.

The 2/14/25 minimum data set (MDS) assessment revealed the resident was cognitively intact with a brief

interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 13 out of 15. The resident was dependent on care for hygiene and bed mobility and needed set-up assistance for eating.

The MDS assessment documented the resident did not refuse care. The MDS assessment did not have a recorded weight.

III. Resident interview

Resident #50 was interviewed on 3/25/25 at 3:35 p.m. Resident #50 said he had lost weight and used to be overweight. He said he could not remember anyone asking to weigh him at the facility.

F 0692 IV. Record review

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or Resident #50's nutritional care plan, documented the resident had potential nutritional problems due to a potential for actual harm diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type 2 with a medication in place, a diagnosis of COPD, history of a right above knee amputation and wounds. Pertinent interventions included to notify the physician of significant or Residents Affected - Few severe weight loss or weight gain, initiated 2/17/25.

According to the March 2025 CPO the resident had a physician's order to be weighed weekly times four weeks, ordered 2/10/25.

The 2/17/25 nutritional risk assessment documented the resident weighed 186 pounds (lbs) in the hospital

on 2/1/25 (prior to admission). The assessment documented the resident refused an admission weight. It documented to obtain a weight as the resident allowed and to monitor the residents weights for trends. The resident's usual body weight (UBW) was documented as unknown and the resident's estimated protein needs of 102 grams (g) of protein were calculated to support wound healing. The assessment also documented diet alone was not enough to meet the resident's estimated calorie and protein needs and the resident's meal intakes were varied. The goal was for the resident to meet estimated nutritional needs and for healing and weight stabilisation was acceptable, and to monitor weight for trends and follow up for significant changes. The assessment documented recommendations to add liquid protein 30 milliliters (ml) twice a day.

-However, a review of Resident #50's electronic medical record (EMR) revealed no additional recorded weights or attempts to obtain a weight for Resident #50 until 3/24/25 (during the survey) when the facility documented the resident refused to be weighed. The only documented refusal of weight by Resident #50 was in the 2/17/25 nutritional risk assessment.

V. Staff interviews

Licensed practical nurse (LPN) #1 was interviewed on 3/25/25 at 3:22 p.m. LPN #1 said when a resident was admitted to the facility they should be weighed the first three days per facility protocol. LPN #1 said if a resident's weights were stable then they would be weighed monthly after that. LPN #1 said that a provider could put in an order for more frequent weights based on the resident's initial weights.

Certified nurse aide (CNA) #3 said she tried to weigh Resident #50 and he refused to be weighed. CNA #3 said it was difficult to weigh the resident because they needed two staff members to lift him and the resident said it was painful for him. CNA #3 said if a resident refused to be weighed the CNA told a nurse so the nurse could follow up with the resident before documenting the resident refused.

-However, review of Resident #50's EMR did not include documentation indicating the facility had attempted to weigh the resident other than the 2/17/25 nutrition assessment (see record review above).

Residents Affected - Few Based on observations, record review and interviews, the facility failed to ensure residents with a feeding tube received appropriate treatment and services for one (#96) of three residents reviewed out of 36 sample residents.

Specifically, the facility failed to ensure Resident #96 was assessed to ensure her safety while self-administering her tube feedings.

Findings include:

I. Facility policy and procedure

The Enteral Nutrition (feeding tube) policy, revised November 2018, was provided by the nursing home administrator (NHA), on 3/26/25 at 11:43 a.m. It read in pertinent part, Adequate nutritional support through enteral nutrition is provided to residents as ordered.

Staff caring residents with feeding tubes are trained on how to recognize and report complications associated with the insertion and/or use of a feeding tube, such as aspiration, skin breakdown around the insertion site, and clogging of the tube.

Residents receiving enteral nutrition are periodically reassessed for the continued appropriateness and necessity of the feeding tube. Results of these assessments are documented and any changes are made to

the care plan.

II. Resident status

Resident #96, age less than 65, was admitted on [DATE REDACTED]. According to the March 2025 computerized physician orders (CPO), the diagnoses included moderate protein-calorie malnutrition, eating disorder and adult failure to thrive.

The 2/18/25 minimum data set (MDS) assessment revealed the resident had moderate cognitive impairments with a brief interview status (BIMS) score of 12 out of 15. The resident was independent for eating and required supervision or touching assistance for all other activities of daily living (ADL).

The assessment documented the resident was receiving 51% or more of her calories through a feeding tube and 501 cubic centimeters (cc) a day of fluid through a feeding tube.

III. Observations and resident interview

On 3/25/25 at 9:16 a.m. Resident #96 said she administered her own bolus tube feedings. Resident #96 was administering her tube feeding by herself and no staff were present in the room.

At 5:28 p.m. Resident #96 had just depressed the plunger of a syringe into her feeding tube. No staff were present in Resident #96's room.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or The enteral nutrition care plan, initiated 2/17/25 and revised 3/4/25, revealed Resident #96 required enteral potential for actual harm nutrition related to her eating disorder. Pertinent interventions included checking the tube placement every shift and prior to feeding or administering medications, providing enteral nutrition as ordered, flushing the Residents Affected - Few tube with 30 milliliters (ml) of water before and after medication administration and monitoring the resident for any nausea, vomiting, or discomfort with each feeding.

The ADL care plan, initiated 3/4/25, revealed Resident #96 had a self-care performance deficit due to her eating disorder and failure to thrive. Resident #96 was very private but needed supervision for safety. Pertinent interventions included Resident #96 administered her own tube feeding as she did not eat by mouth and providing/encouraging fluids.

The nutrition care plan, initiated 2/17/25 and revised 3/4/25, revealed Resident #96 had a nutritional problem due to her eating disorder, malnutrition and anxiety. The care plan documented Resident #96 refused to allow staff to administer her tube feedings. Pertinent interventions included providing enteral nutrition and water flushes per physician's order.

Review of the March 2025 CPO revealed the following physician's orders for Resident #96:

Tube Feeding: Nutren 2.0 (enteral feeding formula) or equivalent, give one carton four times per day via bolus per PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) tube, ordered 2/17/25.

Check PEG tube placement before use, ordered 2/13/25;

Keep head of bed elevated at least 30 degrees during tube feedings and for at least thirty minutes after tube feed administration, ordered 2/13/25;

G-tube (feeding tube) site: cleanse with normal saline, pat dry and apply split gauze every shift. Notify provider if signs or symptoms of infection occur, ordered 2/13/25; and,

Enteral feed: flush 30 ml of water before and after tube feeding administration four times daily, ordered 2/17/25.

The nutritional risk assessment, dated 2/15/25 at 4:58 p.m., revealed Resident #96 said she had been self-administering her tube feeding for three weeks prior to admitting to the facility, was taught how to do so when she was in the hospital and had no questions regarding her tube feeding. The nursing staff reported Resident #96 was particular with her treatments, as she did not allow the staff to administer her tube feedings and often refused to have her PEG tube checked. The registered dietitian (RD) recommended offering snacks between meals and having staff monitor Resident #96 as she self-administered her tube feeding and water flushes.

-Review of Resident #96's electronic medical record (EMR) did not reveal any assessments indicating Resident #96 was evaluated and safe to self-administer her tube feedings or physician's orders for the resident to self-administer.

Residents Affected - Some Based on observations, record review and interviews, the facility failed to ensure residents received food and fluids prepared in a form designed to meet his or her needs.

Specifically, the facility failed to ensure residents who were prescribed mechanically altered diets had food prepared according to their diet orders of puree and mechanical soft as indicated on their meal tray cards.

Findings include:

I. Facility policy and procedure

The Therapeutic Diets policy, undated, was provided by the nursing home administrator (NHA) on 3/26/25 at 11:32 a.m. It read in pertinent part, Diet orders should match the terminology used by the food and nutrition services department. A therapeutic diet is considered a diet ordered by a physician, practitioner, or dietitian as part of treatment for disease or clinical condition, to modify specific nutrients in the diet, or to alter the texture of a diet, for example: altered consistency diet. If a mechanically altered diet is ordered, the provider will specify the texture modification. The dietitian, nursing staff and attending physician will regularly review

the need for, and resident acceptance of, prescribed therapeutic diets.

II. Record review

The menu extensions and modifications for modified texture diets were provided by the dietary director (DD)

on 3/26/25 at 5:00 p.m.

The menu extensions documented the following modifications for the mechanically altered food items served

during lunch meal service on 3/25/25:

interview below). Residents Affected - Some -The peas and carrots provided on the test tray had visible pieces of carrots and peas in the puree peas and were not smooth. The puree meat had small visible lumps.

IV. Staff interviews

CK #1 and the DD were interviewed together on 3/25/25 at approximately 12:30 p.m. (during meal service). CK #1 said the facility had a book of modified texture diet menu extensions in the kitchen.

The DD said the facility had modified texture diet menu extensions but he needed to check with the registered dietitian (RD) to see if the modified texture diet menu extensions were correct.

The DD and the NHA were interviewed together on 3/26/25 at 12:00 p.m.

The DD said the facility was transitioning to IDDSI and was in the process of training the staff to the proper standards on IDDSI. The DD said the residents prescribed a puree diet had received puree peas and carrots for lunch on 3/25/25. The DD said the staff should not have pureed the peas and he noticed the puree peas

after the meals had been sent to residents. The DD said a food with a hull, such as peas, should not be pureed. The DD said the facility would transition to minced and moist level five and soft and bite size level six diet textures (of IDDSI diets) to replace the mechanical soft diet texture the facility used. The DD said he was notified during lunch by facility staff the modified diet textures were incorrect, but it was too late to do anything about it. The DD said if modified textures were served incorrectly the residents were at risk for choking.

The NHA said all staff were trained during their initial onboarding on how to recognize modified textures.

CNA #2 was interviewed on [DATE REDACTED] at approximately 2:30 p.m. CNA #2 said the overnight nursing staff checked the nourishment refrigerator temperatures and removed expired products.

Certified nurse aide with medication aide (CNA-Med) #1 said the night shift usually checked the nourishment refrigerator temperatures and she said she would check the temperatures of the nourishment refrigerators again for accuracy.

The dietary director (DD) and the nursing home administrator (NHA) were interviewed together on [DATE REDACTED] at 12:00 p.m. The NHA said the dietary department was responsible for recording the nourishment refrigerators temperatures and checking for expired products. The NHA said the nourishment refrigerator in the south unit was running a high temperature (out of range) because the thermometer was in the door but they moved the thermometer back inside the refrigerator. She said when they moved the thermometer the temperature was reading within normal limits.

The DD said that unit refrigerator temperatures and maintenance of the product would be corrected. The DD said since the refrigerator temperatures were running high, the staff should take the temperature of the food

in the refrigerator to ensure it was a safe temperature, and if the food was not a safe temperature after 30 minutes the food would be discarded. The DD said he was going to go through the product in the unit refrigerators and clean them out.

The NHA said he was not sure if the facility provided education to the CNAs on refrigerator temperature maintenance so they would notice if the temperature was out of range during their use of the refrigerators.

F 0849 A hospice notebook was provided by licensed practical nurse (LPN) #1 on 3/25/25 at 4:09 p.m. Review of the notebook revealed three visits from the hospice social worker dated 1/13/25, 2/12/25 and 3/14/25. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm -However, the notebook did not reveal any documentation from the hospice nursing staff regarding their visits and the care they provided. Residents Affected - Few -Review of Resident #26's electronic medical record (EMR) failed to reveal any progress notes from the hospice services provider.

Hospice nursing notes, dated 12/23/24 through 3/26/25, were provided by the director of nursing (DON) on 3/26/25 at 6:06 p.m. The hospice notes documented the care that was provided to Resident #1 at each hospice visit.

-However, the hospice nursing notes were not in the hospice binder accessible to the facility staff.

III. Staff interviews

LPN #1 was interviewed on 3/25/25 at 4:12 p.m. LPN #1 said when the hospice staff visited residents, their notes should be placed in the hospice notebook. LPN #1 said the hospice documents did not get uploaded anywhere into the residents' EMRs. LPN #1 said hospice certified nurse aides (CNAs) visited Resident #26 two to three days per week.

LPN #1 was interviewed again on 3/26/25 on 10:34 a.m. LPN #1 verified there were no notes from any hospice CNA visits in Resident #26's hospice binder. LPN #1 said there should be notes from each visit from

the hospice staff in the resident's hospice binder.

-However, there were no notes documented from the hospice CNAs in Resident #26's hospice notebook (see record review above).

CNA #5 was interviewed on 3/26/25 at 9:30 a.m. CNA #5 said the hospice staff reported to the CNA or nurse

on duty after each visit to let them know what care they performed with Resident #26. CNA #5 said this information was also written down in the hospice binder. CNA #5 said the hospice staff communicated what care they performed so the facility's nursing staff could chart it in the resident's EMR, or attend to the resident if they needed medications or were not feeling well.

CNA #2 was interviewed on 3/26/25 at 10:13 a.m. CNA #2 said some of the hospice CNAs did not tell the facility staff what care they provided for Resident #26 during their visits or if his incontinence brief needed to be changed. CNA #2 said the facility had a binder in which the hospice staff recorded everything they did when they came to assist Resident #26. CNA #2 said the hospice staff communicated with the facility staff to note any changes with Resident #26, ensure he was not left soiled and to make sure he got the care he needed.

RA #1 quickly let go of the resident's arm but continued holding onto the gait belt around the resident's waist.

-RA #1 failed to wear a gown or gloves when she was working with Resident #1.

-Additionally, there was no PPE observed in Resident #1's room or outside the resident's room for staff to put

on when providing high contact care with the resident.

C. Staff interviews

Certified nurse aide (CNA) #2 was interviewed on 3/26/25 at 10:13 a.m. CNA #2 said residents that needed EBP had a bag containing PPE on their door and a sign indicating what precautions they were on. CNA #2 said nursing staff needed to wear a gown and gloves when entering the room of any residents on EBP. CNA #2 said residents were on EBP when they had a urinary catheter or needed tube feeding. CNA #2 said she was not sure if Resident #1 needed EBP, but she said no one told her about the resident needing any precautions.

Licensed practical nurse (LPN) #1 was interviewed on 3/26/25 at 10:34 a.m. LPN #1 said EBP were used for residents with urinary catheters, tube feedings and PICC lines. LPN #1 said nursing staff needed to wear a mask, gown and gloves when working with residents who needed EBP.

RA #1 was interviewed on 3/26/25 at 2:36 p.m. RA #1 said she needed to wear a gown and gloves when working with residents on EBP and disinfect her hands between working with each resident. RA #1 was not sure what the reasons were which caused a resident to require EBP.

The infection preventionist (IP) was interviewed on 3/26/25 at 5:53 p.m. The IP said that EBP should be used with any resident that had an indwelling device, such as a PICC line, gastrostomy tube or urinary catheter.

She said EBP should additionally be used for residents with wounds or multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs) in their urine. She said every shift the nurse was required to document that EBP was in place for their residents who were on EBP. The IP said she put in the initial physician's order for EBP for residents, which consisted of wearing a gown and gloves any time staff performed direct care with a resident, such as when they changed dressings, performed incontinence care or bathed a resident. She said EBP was to prevent transmission of infectious organisms. The IP said she did not think that Resident #1 had a PICC line anymore.
