During interview with family member (FM)-A of Resident R44 on 2/3/25 at 3:51 p.m., FM-A stated Resident R44 had sustained a few falls since she admitted to the care center from her prior assisted-living setting, and the falls led him to believe the facility did not have enough staff to provide Resident R44 with adequate supervision.
During interview with Resident R4 on 2/3/25 at 5:12 p.m., Resident R4 stated she, feels the facility [sic] understaffed and it takes
a long time and sometimes they don't come. Resident R4 expressed frustration as when she admitted to the facility
she needed more assistance from staff and wasn't receiving it.
During interview with Resident R33 on 2/3/25 at 2:22 p.m., Resident R33 stated she got very frustrated when she put her call light on for staff assistance as it just takes forever. Resident R33 stated she used her call light for staff assistance to get in and out of bed, any transfers, and to go to the bathroom. Resident R33 stated the time of day did not impact how fast the call lights were answered. Resident R33 stated it could take up to an hour for her call light to be answered.

F 0725 Staff interviews:
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or During interview with trained medication aide (TMA)-A on 2/4/25 at 7:31 a.m., TMA-A stated I don't feel there potential for actual harm is enough staff to meet the needs of the residents. I have twenty-five residents. If aides show up it is four to five aides per morning shift. They recently reduced staffing to 'cut costs' apparently and people have missed Residents Affected - Many showers and answering call lights has been delayed.
During interview with licensed practical nurse (LPN)-A on 2/4/25 at 7:46 a.m., LPN-A stated, I have twenty-one residents. They need help today. Normally I have more than that. Some days I don't have time to get my work done. Range of motion exercises (ROM's), sometimes I don't get to it. LPN-A stated they were not surprised if showers weren't done due to staffing.
During interview with licensed practical nurse (LPN)-B who was also the facility infection control/wound nurse, stated she was responsible to complete weekly wound assessments and document results in the resident electronic medical record (EMR). LPN-B stated an initial Weekly Wound Tool assessment had been completed for Resident R42's wound on 12/16/24, and should have been completed weekly thereafter until healed. LPN-B stated she was out sick for thirteen days in December (2024) and it fell off my radar. Furthermore, LPN-B stated, I get pulled to the floor a lot.
During interview with registered nurse (RN)-B on 2/5/25 at 12:36 p.m., RN-B stated, Staffing is always a concern here. If we have five aides working on a shift and three are agency aides, then the two facility aides have to chart on all of the residents because we don't allow the agency aides to document. It is too much. Also, RN-B stated, due to staffing, the range of motion exercises and other personal cares won't be done. RN-B stated she had seen aides in the past have a tendency to leave residents in their beds to eat meals instead of assisting them up out of bed and transporting them to the dining room.
During interview with RN-B on 2/5/25 at 10:31 a.m., (RN)-B reviewed Resident R44's fall reports dated 12/23/24, and 1/2/25, and stated, I am just going to be honest with you, and stated she was not sure if all of Resident R44's fall reports had been brought to IDT for review. RN-B reviewed Resident R44's fall on 12/23/24, and verified it lacked any new interventions being recorded or outlined. RN-B stated the lack of completion with the report could possibly be related to being pulled to the floor so much due to staff call-ins adding, Often, I don't [get them done]. RN-B stated it was a chore and a struggle to get all assigned things such as fall reports and admissions done timely, adding they felt, at times, new interventions had been done but just not been documented.
During interview with staffing coordinator (SC) on 2/5/25 at 10:09 a.m., SC stated she worked in the position for ten to eleven years. SC stated she directed staff concerns regarding low staffing to the DON. SC stated call lights should be answered within ten to fifteen minutes. No more than fifteen minutes. SC stated she was expected to follow guidance from management to staff nursing assistants with one aide per 10 residents and,
it used to be one aide per 8 residents. SC stated she recently was informed that she was responsible for staffing both the skilled nursing facility and the assisted living facility portion of the building.

Everybody should answer call lights. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or Not just one role. Time range acceptable ideally within half an hour to forty-five minutes. Half an hour is potential for actual harm common. Things happen and we want to answer them right away. Sometimes we cannot. It is frustrating. DON stated staffing for 2/5/25, was impacted due to a call in from a nurse so the DON had to fill in for the Residents Affected - Many empty shift and administer morning medications and treatments until a nurse from the evening shift agreed to come in early to relieve her. DON stated the facility did not have access to call light logs and did not do call light audits to determine length of time call lights were on.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 33925 potential for actual harm Based on interview and document review, the facility failed to ensure recommended pneumococcal Residents Affected - Few vaccinations, as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), were offered and/or provided in a timely manner to reduce the risk of severe disease for 1 of 5 residents (Resident R37) reviewed for immunizations.
Findings include:
A CDC Pneumococcal Vaccine Timing for Adults feature, dated 3/2023, identified several tables with corresponding recommendations when to receive various versions (i.e., PPSV23, PCV13, PCV20) of the pneumococcal vaccine. The graph labeled, Adults [at or older than] [AGE] years old, outlined persons with a complete series of pneumococcal vaccination (i.e., PCV13 at any age, PPSV23 at or above [AGE] years old) should have shared clinical decision-making between the resident and healthcare provider to determine if PCV20 was appropriate.
Resident R37's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE REDACTED], identified Resident R37 admitted to the care center in August 2024, and had several medical conditions including dementia and high blood pressure.
Resident R37's electronic medical record (EMR) was reviewed which identified a section labeled, Immunizations, along with Resident R37's received immunizations or, if applicable, their refusal. This identified Resident R37 as being [AGE] years old and having had received the PCV13 in 12/2017, and the PPSV23 in 3/2019 (over five years prior). However, it lacked evidence Resident R37 had been offered or received the PCV20 as recommended by the CDC.
On 2/4/25 at 12:58 p.m., a telephone call was placed to Resident R37's family member to discuss what, if any, discussion the care center had with them about Resident R37's immunization using PCV20. A message was left, however, a return call was not received.
Resident R37's medical record was reviewed and lacked evidence Resident R37 or their representative had been offered or provided the PCV20 vaccination despite being admitted to the care center multiple months prior.
On 2/5/25 at 10:25 a.m., licensed practical nurse (LPN)-B was interviewed. LPN-B verified they were the campus' infection preventionist (IP) and had reviewed Resident R37's medical record. LPN-B stated Resident R37 had not yet received the PCV20 and expressed her family member always likes to sign the paperwork so there was not a signed consent or refusal to show. LPN-B stated they last spoke with Resident R37's family member back in December 2024 about another vaccine series (i.e., RSV), however, at that time LPN-B did not have the PCV20 form for them to sign so, as a result, it had not been done. LPN-B stated they recalled Resident R37's family member did not want Resident R37 to get the vaccine, however, acknowledged the record lacked any documentation to support that conversation had happened. LPN-B verified all listed immunizations on Resident R37's EMR were correct and current and expressed they would follow-up with Resident R37's family member soon, adding, I will make
it a point to meet up with [them]. Further, LPN-B stated part of the reason for the delay in follow-up was possibly due to themselves repeatedly being pulled to work on the floor due to call-ins and other reasons adding such was, The way it is now-a-days. However, LPN-B verified Resident R37 should have been offered the vaccination and expressed it was important as pneumonia could be a heft disease process and impair the elderly.
