Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 40297 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure hand hygiene was followed Residents Affected - Some during medication administration and wound care for Resident 89 and during the observation of the lunch meal service, failed to serve food in a sanitary manner for an unidentified resident, failed to ensure signage was placed to inform the staff of residents (Resident 6, 88, 89, 462 and 82) who required Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP, infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms [MDRO, germs that are resistant to many antibiotics]), failed to sanitize equipment between resident use, and failed to timely change and maintain infection control practices for a central line (a thin, flexible tube inserted into a large vein until the tip rested in a major vein near the heart) for Resident 89.

These failures placed the residents at risk for the spread of infections, illnesses and unintended health consequences.

Findings included .

ENHANCED BARRIER PRECAUTIONS

According to a 06/28/2024 Centers for Disease Control article, EBP involved gown and glove use during high-contact resident care activities for residents known to be colonized or infected with a MDRO, as well as those at increased risk of MDRO acquisition (e.g., residents with wounds or indwelling medical devices). EBP expanded the use of gown and gloves beyond anticipated blood and body fluid exposures. EBP directed staff to don (put on) gowns and gloves when dressing, bathing/showering, transferring, changing linens, providing hygiene, wound care and assisting with toileting.

<Resident 6>

Review of the 02/23/2025 significant change assessment showed Resident 6 admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with medically complex conditions. The assessment showed Resident 6 had moderately impaired cognition and an indwelling urinary catheter. Review of the medical record showed the staff treated Resident 6 for wounds to the right foot.

An observation on 04/14/2025 at 11:31 AM showed Resident 6 in their wheelchair, and the urinary catheter bag was covered. No EBP signage was observed near Resident 6's room to show the staff needed to don PPE prior to entering the room when providing high contact activities.

<Resident 88>

Review of a 03/22/2025 admission assessment showed Resident 88 admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with medically complex conditions, including an MDRO. The assessment showed the resident was cognitively intact and received dialysis (a procedure that removed waste products and excess fluid from the blood when

the kidneys failed to do so).

The resident stated they went to the dialysis center and received dialysis through a central line. Resident 88 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or showed a dressing that covered the central line to the left side of their chest. No EBP signage was observed potential for actual harm near Resident 88's room to show the staff needed to don PPE prior to entering the room when providing high contact activities. Residents Affected - Some <Resident 82>

According to the 03/03/2025 quarterly assessment, Resident 82 had an indwelling urinary catheter (flexible tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine).

Review of the 11/27/2024 care plan showed Resident 82 had a urinary catheter related to urinary retention and instructed staff to maintain the tubing anchored, provide catheter care every shift, observe for signs of a bladder infection, and to keep the catheter in place until seen by a urologist (doctor that specialized in the urinary system).

Review of 02/06/2025 urologist progress notes showed Resident 82's urinary catheter was to remain in place to prevent recurrent urinary retention.

During an observation on 04/14/2025 at 9:19 AM, no EBP signage was observed to be posted outside Resident 82's room. Similar observations were made that same day at 11:53 AM and 12:36 PM.

<Resident 462>

According to the 04/03/2025 admission assessment, Resident 462 received liquid nutrition via a feeding tube (flexible tube inserted into the digestive system to deliver nutrition when unable to eat).

Review of the 03/28/2025 care plan showed Resident 462 received nutrition via tube feeding and instructed staff to administer flushes and feedings as ordered, provide oral care daily, and check the tube insertion site.

During observation on 04/21/2025 at 4:45 AM, Staff Q, Registered Nurse (RN), put on a pair of gloves without performing hand hygiene, pulled items out of their pocket including a cell phone to check the time prior to labeling a bottle of tube feed formula, adjusted the bedside table, touched Resident 462's left shoulder to get their attention, and raised the head of the bed up. Without changing gloves, performing hand hygiene, or putting a gown on, Staff Q flushed Resident 462's feeding tube, connected the tubing to the resident and began running their formula.

The above findings were shared with Staff D, Infection Preventionist, on 04/21/2025 at 9:14 AM. Staff D stated they identified residents who required EBP to be implemented during cares by reviewing the admission orders. Staff D stated residents required EBP during cares if they presented with an indwelling medical device or uncontainable wound and the requirement was communicated to the staff through signage. Staff B acknowledged EBP signage was not posted during the 04/14/2025 observations and that it should be put up upon admission [to the facility].

F 0881 Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 40297 potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow an established Antibiotic Stewardship Residents Affected - Some Program (ASP) to promote the appropriate use of antibiotics (ABT) for newly admitted residents or those prescribed an ABT by community providers for 3 of 3 months (January, February, and March 2025) reviewed for infection control practices. This failure increased resident risk for multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDRO, germs that are resistant to many antibiotics) and had the potential for adverse outcomes with inappropriate and/or unnecessary use of ABT.

Findings included .

The 08/2023 facility policy titled Administrative Infection Control Processes documented the elements of the Infection Prevention and Control program included antibiotic stewardship. The staff used surveillance data to determine whether ABT usage patterns required change. The policy documented the facility used McGeer Criteria, a set of standardized definitions that helped identify potential infections and guided appropriate ABT use.

A review of Monthly Infection Surveillance Logs for January, February, and March 2025 with Staff D, Infection Preventionist, occurred on 04/21/2025 at 8:44 AM. Staff D clarified that residents identified with CA [community acquired] infections, admitted from the hospital with an ABT or were prescribed the ABT by a community provider.

Review of the January 2025 Monthly Infection Surveillance Log with Staff D showed 28 residents identified with CA infections received an ABT. The log showed no answer to the question, If ABT used, McGeer's minimum criteria met?, for eight of the 28 residents.

Review of the February 2025 Monthly Infection Surveillance Log with Staff D showed 24 residents identified with CA infections received an ABT. The log showed no answer to the question, If ABT used, McGeer's minimum criteria met?, for nine of the 24 residents, N/A [not applicable] for four other residents, and No for one resident.

Review of the March 2025 Monthly Infection Surveillance Log with Staff D showed 35 residents identified with CA infections received ABT. The log showed no answer to the question, If ABT used, McGeer's minimum criteria met?, for 31 of the 35 residents, No for one resident, and N/A for two other residents.

On 04/21/2025 at 8:44 AM, Staff D acknowledged the ASP was not implemented for new admissions to the facility or residents prescribed an ABT by community providers. Staff D stated they did not apply the ASP process because, I am under the impression the hospital ensures McGeer is being followed on their end. No further information was provided.

The resource informs and guides nurses in providing safe, quality, and competent patient care. The resource outlined and described 18 standards of practice for nursing professionals to follow.

Review of the Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice resource showed the first six standards included:

1. Assessment: effectively collect data and resident information that is relative to their condition or situation.

2. Diagnosis: analyze the data gathered during the assessment phrase, to determine potential or actual diagnoses.

3. Outcomes Identification: effectively predict outcomes for the resident.

4. Planning: After identifying a diagnosis and outcomes, develop a plan or strategy to attain the best possible outcome for the resident in need.

5. Implementation: Implement the identified plan. This may be done by coordinating care for the residents, such as administering treatment, or implementing/following provider orders.

6. Evaluation: After implementation, a nurse must monitor and evaluate the patient's progress towards the expected outcome or health goals.

F 0658 Review of provider standing orders showed directions to address constipation before and after 48 hours of not experiencing a bowel movement (BM). The protocol was time-specific regarding administration of the Level of Harm - Minimal harm or different laxatives. potential for actual harm

The standing orders showed that after 48 hours of no BM, the nurses were instructed to administer Lactulose Residents Affected - Some every two hours as needed and if the resident did not have a BM after six hours, then Milk of Magnesia (MOM). If the resident did not have a BM after six hours of receiving the MOM, the nurses were to administer

a Bisacodyl suppository. If the suppository proved ineffective after six hours, the nurses were ordered to administer a Fleets enema once and to notify the provider if they wished to repeat it. The orders instructed

the nurses to notify the provider if a resident did not have a BM greater than 3 days and to let them know of all medications that were already attempted.

<Resident 262>

Review of a 04/03/2025 admission assessment showed Resident 262 admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with medically complex conditions, which included Parkinsonism (a neurological disorder) and chronic pain syndrome. The assessment showed the resident was cognitively intact and presented with a bowel pattern of constipation.

An observation and interview on 04/18/2025 at 1:04 PM showed Resident 262 sitting up in a chair in their room. Resident 262 said they independently walked to the bathroom. The resident said they had a BM one every 4 or 5 days here [in the facility] which was a change from home where they had a BM, almost every day. The resident shared that at home they took a a big gulp of Milk of Magnesia about once a week and, Apparently [staff] don't know about Milk of Magnesia here. The resident referred to being offered a liquid twice a day that they thought was for the management of constipation but, I wonder about it because I'm still not pooping. Maybe I should mention it to [the staff]. That would make me go poop. I'd like that. When asked if the staff inquired if they had a bowel movement, Resident 262 stated, No, I don't think anybody has asked that.

Review of the April 2025 Medication Administration Records (MAR) showed physician orders for routine or scheduled administration of medications that had the side effect of constipation, to include amiodarone (a cardiac agent), bupropion (an antianxiety agent), iron tablets, semaglitude (for diabetes), and carbidopa-levidopa (for Parkinsons). The MAR showed that both scheduled senna tablets and gavilax (both over the counter [OTC] medications used to treat constipation) were discontinued on 04/07/2025. The MAR showed no as needed orders for medications to treat episodes of constipation.

Review of a 03/29/2025 care plan showed the staff assessed and determined the resident was at risk for constipation related to medications. The care plan showed, if the resident experiences constipation it will be resolved thru the review period. The interventions directed the nurses to administer medications as ordered, implement bowel protocol when indicated, observe for signs and symptoms of constipation or extended abdomen that may indicate constipation, and track and record bowel movements.

Review of a Bowel Elimination Record from 03/28/2025 to 04/18/2025 showed Resident 262 did not have a BM recorded for three days from 03/28/2025 to 03/30/2025, for six days from 04/04/2025 to 04/09/2025, and for three days from 04/11/2025 to 04/13/2025 and from 04/15/2025 to 04/17/2025.

FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT FALL PRECAUTIONS

Review of the facility policy titled, Fall Safety- Everyone is at Risk of Falling dated October 2022, showed anyone could fall regardless of age, gender, or illness. The policy instructed staff to be alert to situations that could lead to falls and included some potential situations to avoid and interventions to implement. The Falling Leaves program consisted of a leaf sticker placed next to a high fall risk resident's door name tag. The sticker was to notify staff the identified resident required frequent rounding to help reduce falls. The policy did not instruct staff how to assess fall risk, what steps to take when a fall occurred, or how to monitor residents when falls were sustained.

Review of an undated facility incident report form instructed staff to use the format as a guide on what steps were required after a resident sustained a fall. Staff were to place the resident on alert charting: every shift for 72 hours, or longer if not resolved. The form additionally instructed staff to complete a neurological evaluation (neuro and/or neuro checks, a series of tests that assess mental status, reflexes, movement, and pupil reaction to evaluate brain and nervous system function) if a resident hit their head or the fall was unwitnessed by staff.

Review of the Neurological Evaluation Flow Sheet used by the facility to assess for any changes instructed staff to complete a neuro evaluation with vital signs every 30 minutes for two hours, then every hour for four hours, then every 8 hours for nine hours (72 hours), compare vital signs over time and pay close attention to respiratory patterns. The form included a graph to document the required information on.

Resident 65 was restless, continued to attempt to self-transfer out of bed. Resident 65 had aphasia (disorder that made it hard to understand and speak) and could not explain the situation. Interventions implemented were to place the bed against the wall in the lowest position and provide the resident with non-skid socks. No documentation of neuro checks was found.

- Unwitnessed fall on 02/13/2025, Resident 65 was found on the floor next to their roommate's bed. The mattress on the floor next to [Resident 65's] bed had been moved away from the bed about 4-5 inches and appeared the resident self-transferred. Intervention implemented was to add Resident 65 to the Falling Leaves program. The attached neurological evaluation flow sheet vital signs section showed only five of 12 sets of vital signs were documented.

- Unwitnessed fall on 02/28/2025, Resident 65 slid out of their WC, was confused, unable to state what happened and neuro checks were started, however, no documentation of neuro checks were found.

- Unwitnessed fall on 03/12/2025, Resident 65 was found sitting on the floor next to their bed with the fall mat again pushed away from the bed, neuro checks were initiated. The incident summary showed Resident 65's care plan remained appropriate. No documentation of intervention implemented, or neuro checks was found.

- Unwitnessed fall on 03/14/2025, Resident 65 was found lying on the floor next to their WC near the nurses' station, and neuro checks were initiated. Intervention implemented was a therapy referral for WC evaluation.

The attached neuro sheet showed omissions in documentation for four of 12 neuro assessments and eight of 12 sets of vital signs.

F-F689 CFR S483.25 Accidents and Supervision. Onsite verification by surveyors on 04/17/2025 showed, the facility removed the immediacy by placing Resident 73 on one-to-one surveillance, secured the resident's smoking paraphernalia, re-assessed the resident's ability to smoke, and revised the care plan to show the level of assistance and supervision the resident required to smoke safely. The facility closed access to unsupervised patio areas. The facility added a fire blanket and an outdoor ashtray to the designated smoking area. The facility interviewed other residents and staff to identify other residents who smoked and completed smoking safety evaluations of all the residents in the facility and for any residents identified as a smoker/tobacco user, to include development or revision of their care plans to show individualized interventions and supervision levels related to smoking preference. The facility completed a facility-wide sweep to remove unauthorized smoking materials. The facility notified the residents of the smoking policy. The facility educated the staff on

the smoking policy, and identifying, managing, and reporting unsafe smoking behaviors. Immediacy was removed 04/16/2025.

Findings included .

Review of a facility admission agreement showed smoking or vaping was prohibited within and on the grounds of the facility. The agreement informed the residents that possessing smoking related items, like cigarettes and lighters, was strictly prohibited. Residents were informed that the facility would provide information and assistance with exploring smoking cessation interventions and products if they had a history of smoking or tobacco use prior to admission to the facility and if so desired. Violation of the Smoke-Free Facility policy endangered the health and safety of the residents in the facility and was ground for discharge.

Review of the facility policy titled, Smoking Prohibited for Residents But Allowed For Staff dated October 2021, showed if staff found a resident with smoking materials, they were to be given to the nurse who secured them. The policy further showed staff would notify the provider for each incident of policy violation, document incident in the medical record, and investigated by the facility leadership team to evaluate the scope and potential endangerment to other residents and staff. The results of the investigation determined

the course of action to protect other residents and staff from endangerment, to include re-education of the resident, removal of smoking materials, discussion about smoking cessation support, evaluation of the resident's ability to smoke safely without staff assistance or supervision in a location out of the facility and off

the facility grounds, and/or discharge from the facility.

During the entrance conference on 04/14/2025 at 8:42 AM, Staff A, Administrator, stated the facility was a non-smoking facility and there were no residents that smoked.

F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 42802 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's CPAP machine (a Residents Affected - Few machine connected to a mask, that kept airways open while sleeping) was functional and failed to accurately document its use for 1 of 1 sampled resident (Resident 17) investigated for respiratory care. This failure placed the resident at risk of worsening health complications.

Findings included .

According to the 03/26/2025 admission assessment, Resident 17 had diagnoses which included heart failure (where the heart cannot pump enough blood for the body's needs), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD, a lung disease that causes chronic respiratory symptoms and airflow limitations) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA, a condition where the airway becomes blocked during sleep, causing pauses in breathing). The resident was alert and able to make their needs known.

A review of the medical record showed the following provider orders for use of their CPAP machine:

1) CPAP home setting, to be worn at bedtime every evening and night shift, started on 03/20/2025.

2) CPAP on at bedtime, started on 03/20/205.

3) CPAP mask cleaning every morning on day shift, started on 03/21/2025.

4) Change CPAP tubing on night shift, every month on the 19th, started on 04/19/2025.

Resident 17's Respiratory care plan, initiated on 04/02/2025, documented they were at risk for respiratory complications due to OSA. One of the interventions was to assist the resident as needed to administer/setup their CPAP machine.

Review of the March 2025 Treatment Administration Record (TAR) documented the following:

1) CPAP home setting every evening and night, initialed by nurse as done on evening and night shift from 3/20/25 through 03/31/2025.

2) CPAP on at bedtime, initialed by the nurse as done on night shift from 3/20/25 through 03/31/2025.

3) CPAP mask cleaning every morning on day shift, initialed by the nurse as done on from 3/21/25 through 03/31/2025.

Review of the April 2025 TAR documented the following:

1) CPAP home setting every evening and night, initialed by nurse as done on evening and night shift from 04/01/2025 through 04/14/2025. The only exception was the 04/09/2025 evening shift slot was blank.

Review of the nursing progress notes showed no mention of the CPAP not functioning, not in use or the resident stating that it was not working.

Review of the provider notes on 03/21/2025, 03/24/2025, 03/26/2025 and 04/12/2025 documented the resident had not used their CPAP for over 6 months.

During an interview on 04/15/2025 at 11:17 AM, Resident 17 stated they brought their CPAP from home, but

it was not working. They were informed by the staff that they did not repair them and they had not helped them to replace the CPAP. Resident 17 further stated since they were unable to use it, they had difficulty falling sleep and woke up in the night and were unable to fall back asleep.

During an interview on 04/23/2025 at 9:25 AM, Staff NN, Central Supply, stated if a resident needed a CPAP, it was easy to obtain. They would get a doctor's order with the settings and correct size mask and fax

it over to the supply company to rent one and it usually arrived the same day. Staff NN further stated no one had asked about renting a CPAP for Resident 17.

During an interview on 04/23/2025 at 9:55 AM, Staff BB, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated that they would ask Resident 17 if they needed help with their CPAP and many times they would say they could do it themselves at bedtime. Staff BB further stated they were not aware that Resident 17's CPAP was not working, or they would have told management.

During an interview on 04/23/2025 at 10:55 AM, Staff C, Assistant Director of Nursing, stated they were not informed that Resident 17's CPAP was not working. Staff C stated that staff should have noted that the resident was not using the CPAP and followed up on it.

During an interview on 04/23/2025 at 11:52 AM, Staff C and Staff E, Regional Director of Clinical Operations, acknowledged that staff were not following up on the use and function of the CPAP and the discrepancy of

the documentation was failed practice.

F 0696 Provide appropriate care/assistance for a resident with a prosthesis.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 40297 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure 1 of 1 sampled resident Residents Affected - Few (Resident 31) reviewed for prosthesis (an artificial limb designed to replace the function of an amputated or missing arm or leg) received the care and assistance required to be able to use the prosthesis. This failure placed the resident at risk for decreased mobility and balance, delayed discharge from the facility to the community, and a diminished quality of life.

Findings included .

An undated facility policy titled, Artificial Limb - Prosthesis showed, staff would assist the resident in caring for their prosthesis to encourage resident function and safety. The policy showed the use of the prosthesis would be addressed in the resident's plan of care. Care instructions included washing, rinsing, and drying the socket (the device that joins the residual limb [stump] to the prosthesis) every day, inspecting the prosthesis for loose or worn parts at least once each week, reporting the findings to the nurse, avoiding the use of any creams, ointments, or preparations that contained alcohol, and following the manufacturers guidelines for any special care of the prosthesis. The policy instructed the staff to ensure the limb sock (a sock worn over a residual limb to improve fit and comfort within a prosthesis) was free of wrinkles, fit well, cleaned daily with cool water and mild soap, and completely dry before reusing. The staff were not to pad the limb or prosthesis with towels or washcloths as any uneven distribution of pressure could cause pressure sores and infection to

the residual limb.

Review of a 02/22/2025 quarterly assessment showed Resident 31 admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with the primary medical condition of an amputation (the surgical removal of all or part of a limb, typically an arm or leg). The assessment showed the resident was cognitively intact, no rejection of care, and was dependent on

the staff or required assistance for Activities of Daily Living. The assessment showed no prosthesis in use

during the assessment reference period.

An observation and interview on 04/14/2025 at 1:40 PM showed Resident 31 sitting up in a wheelchair in their room. A leg prosthesis was lying on the windowsill. Observation of Resident 31's left leg showed a covered stump. Resident 31 said the prosthesis was not in use since they were not making progress with therapy and wanted to walk so they could discharge from the facility. The resident showed a business card of

the clinic who built the leg prosthesis.

An observation and interview on 04/21/2025 at 9:37 AM showed Resident 31 in bed, with the leg prosthesis standing upright on the windowsill. Resident 31 said the staff do not apply the leg prosthesis but applied a shrinker [a type of compression stocking that is worn to help shape and reduce swelling in the residual limb]

in the morning and removed it at night.

Review of a 09/06/2024 Quarterly Discharge Plan Review showed Resident 31, wants to remain in the facility until [the resident] receives [their] prosthetic leg and then wants to find an alternative placement. A subsequent review on 12/05/2024 showed the resident, wants to remain in the facility long term.

F 0696 In an interview 04/21/2025 at 7:36 AM, Staff V, Social Services Director, stated Resident 31 wanted to stay

in the facility and was waiting to receive their prosthetic leg. When asked to elaborate what was meant by Level of Harm - Minimal harm or waiting to receive their prosthetic leg, Staff V stated, The appointments to get the prosthetic leg going and potential for actual harm once they got the prosthetic leg maybe reconsider other alternative placements [for living].

Residents Affected - Few Review of the 12/12/2024 progress note showed Resident 31 received their prosthesis and stood with therapy earlier this week.

Review of 12/27/2024 note from the prosthesis clinic showed the resident informed the clinic staff they were able to wear the prosthesis daily for short amounts of time, but mostly laying in bed with the prosthesis on, but has done some standing with a forearm walker. The resident complained of some discomfort when wearing the prosthesis when in bed or sitting, and the clinic staff discussed with the resident that wearing the prosthesis for a prolonged period of sitting or lying down changed the pressure in the socket and was the reason for the discomfort. The clinic educated the resident to ensure the full prosthesis was supported to decrease gravity pull.

F 0696 In an interview on 04/23/2025 at 8:39 AM, Staff FF, PT, stated Resident 31 would not wear the prosthesis except during therapy treatment time because, It's kind of a behavior thing. It was a lot of work to get out of Level of Harm - Minimal harm or bed. It was painful for [the resident], too, to a certain degree. Staff FF stated the resident was, not receptive potential for actual harm to being out of bed for a longer period of time. Staff FF stated that prosthesis wear-time is gradual, starting at one to two hours a day, up to eight hours a day, and off at night. Staff FF said since discharge from therapy, I Residents Affected - Few have not seen [the resident] with the prosthetic on.

In an interview on 04/23/2025 at 8:30 AM, Staff M, Nursing Assistant, stated Resident 31 was transferred out of bed by use of a mechanical lift once a day and never saw the resident walk. Staff M stated they never put

the prosthesis on Resident 31's stump and, I don't think [they] really use it during the day. Staff M stated they applied the shrinker in the morning and staff usually take it off at night.

In an interview on 04/23/2025 at 8:34 AM, Staff X, Licensed Practical Nurse, stated, Never really seen [the resident] walk and occasionally [they] will ask for the prosthetic to be put on and the aides could do that. Staff X stated the aides also applied the shrinker.

Review of a 06/11/2024 care plan showed, The resident has an amputation of left lower extremity and that

The resident's wound will heal and progress without complications. The care plan showed no documentation that acknowledged the presence of the prosthesis, instructions on wear time, how to ensure proper fit to prevent skin breakdown, the care of the prosthesis, or the use of the shrinker and limb sock.

On 04/21/2025 at 8:16 AM, a Collateral Contact (CC) from the clinic who built Resident 31's prosthesis was interviewed. The CC stated the prosthesis was issued on 12/06/2024. The CC stated the facility notify was supposed to notify the clinic when they identified issues with the fit of the prosthesis, pain, impaired skin integrity, or if any components were loose or feeling unstable when the resident wore the prosthesis. The CC stated the prosthesis should be worn daily by the resident, as long as no sores or not painful, and the shrinker also worn daily as it helps with swelling and phantom pain (when you feel pain in your missing body part after an amputation). The CC stated that the risk of the prosthesis not being worn daily was, not training your body to use it which can keep you wheelchair bound.

The above findings were shared with Staff F, Unit Manager, on 04/21/2025 at 9:55 AM. Staff F stated they were not aware of any refusals with the prosthetic as Resident 31 was very eager to have it. Staff F stated, I believe [the resident] puts on the shrinker [themselves]. At first the nursing staff was helping [them]. Staff F acknowledged the care plan did not reflect the status of the stump and stated, I believe that area is healed. Staff F acknowledged the medical record showed no direction on the care of the prosthesis and associated components, including instructions from the prosthesis clinic, its care and cleaning, how and when to report problems related to the prosthesis, wear-time, skin inspection, and other safety issues.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 40297 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure it obtained all Residents Affected - Few treatment-related documentation from the dialysis center and the medical records showed the accurate dialysis access site and location of the dialysis center for 1 of 1 sampled resident (Resident 88) reviewed for dialysis (a procedure that removed waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys failed to do so). This failure placed the resident at risk for delayed treatment and post-dialysis complications.

Findings included .

Review of a 03/22/2025 admission assessment showed Resident 88 admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with medically complex conditions. The assessment showed the resident was cognitively intact and received dialysis services.

Review of 03/16/2025 hospital transfer orders showed a dialysis access site to the left subclavian (a large blood vessel located beneath the collarbone used for central line [a flexible tube inserted into a large vein near the heart placement used to deliver medications, fluids, nutrition, or blood products] placement).

An observation and interview on 04/14/2025 at 10:12 AM showed Resident 88 sitting at the edge of the bed.

The resident stated that they went to the dialysis center on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 2:00 PM to 7:30 PM. Observed to the resident's chest was a dressing that, according to Resident 88, covered a central line catheter. Resident 88 stated that the facility did not communicate with the dialysis center adding, I have to make sure I have all my records with me, so they [dialysis] know what's been happening.

Review of Resident 88's medical record showed no presence of dialysis logs. Dialysis logs document key information about each dialysis treatment session. These sheets serve as a record of the resident's condition, the treatment settings, and any events or complications that occurred during the dialysis session.

This information was crucial for monitoring the resident's progress, optimizing treatment, and ensuring resident safety.

Review of the 03/16/2025 dialysis care plan showed the location of the dialysis center, treatment days, and access site corresponded to the observation of and interview with Resident 88 on 04/14/2025.

Review of an April 2025 Order Summary showed a particular dialysis center with a pick-up time and scheduled dialysis days on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays different to Resident 88's interview and care plan. Additionally, the orders directed the staff to, Check AV [arteriovenous, between an artery and a vein] Fistula [a surgically created connection usually in the arm] for bruit and thrill every shift, and if the fistula was bleeding, to apply pressure. A bruit was a sound heard with a stethoscope, while thrill was a vibration felt by hand, both caused by blood flow through the fistula. These assessments helped ensure the fistula was functioning properly and allowed for early intervention if issues arose. Central lines inserted into veins do not produce a bruit or thrill.

In a follow-up interview on 04/22/2025 at 9:34 AM, Resident 85 again stated they were stuck in bed all day Residents Affected - Many yesterday because staff told them they were shorthanded, I was pissed.

During a confidential interview on 04/18/2025 at 10:25 AM, Confidential Staff A, stated the facility did not have enough staff, the North (100 hall, long-term care) unit was heavy care, and normally staffed with only four nursing assistants but that was not enough staff, it was hard to get things done.

Review of the 04/19/2025 facility census showed Residents 15, 16, 22, 46, 61, 63, 64, 65, and 85 all resided

on the North 100 long-term care hall.

In an interview on 04/22/2025 at 9:30 AM, Staff W, Nursing Assistant (NA), stated the facility was short staffed most of the time and they typically cared for about 15 residents.

During observation on 04/22/2025 at 9:32 AM, Staff KK, NA, was observed asking several NAs for assistance to change the resident in room [ROOM NUMBER] but was unable to get help. Staff W told Staff KK to ask a manager for help because they needed to help a resident who asked for help. At 9:47 AM Staff KK was observed asking Staff LL, Registered Nurse, for help but Staff LL stated, I am sorry, I can't help you, I am running way behind and asked Staff KK to let them know when they changed the resident in room [ROOM NUMBER] because they needed to apply cream to them. Staff KK replied, that is what I have been trying to do, I have been trying to get help. At 9:49 AM Staff KK told the resident they would change them alone, since they were unable to find staff to help.

In an interview on 04/23/2025 at 12:07 PM, Staff N, Staffing Coordinator, stated they used a HPD (hours per resident day, minimum staffing requirements) spreadsheet that was based on census, not based on acuity as

a guide to see how many staff were needed. A copy of the spreadsheet was requested at that time. Staff N explained if the facility needed to provide 1:1 monitoring for a resident they would make an exception to the budget and cover the 1:1 needs. Staff N stated if the facility acuity increased they would have to pull staff from the other units and adjust section assignments to better staff the more acute unit. Staff N explained the North 100 hall was the easier unit, it was more consistent because the residents were long-term care and the South hall was the more acute unit because that was where residents admitted to and were typically more ill. Staff N was asked what would happen with staffing if the census increased. Staff N stated if the census increased they would have to schedule more agency staffing because the facility did not have enough facility staff. Staff N further stated the facility used agency staffing seven days a week, for both NAs and nurses. Staff N further stated the facility had a high staff turnover rate and needed more staff. Staff N acknowledged staff voiced staffing concerns related to the need for more staff, residents with excessively long call light wait times, and residents not changed timely.

In an interview on 04/23/2025 at 12:43 PM, Staff A, Administrator, had a copy of the HPD spreadsheet used by Staff N as a guide for staffing. Staff A stated the form was just a quick and fast tool used to see if the facility had enough staff, based on census. Staff A did not provide a copy of the spreadsheet as requested.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 40297

Residents Affected - Some Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure nutritional assessments were completed accurately and timely for 4 out of 5 sampled residents (Residents 60, 88, 313, and 263), accurate and timely weights were obtained after a significant weight loss occurred (Resident 60), and the required nutritional supplements were available and/or provided (Residents 88 and 313). These failures placed the residents at risk for weight loss, unmet nutritional needs, and a diminished quality of life.

Findings included .

Review of a 05/25/2023 facility policy titled, Weight Assessment and Intervention showed, the facility strived to prevent, monitor and intervene for undesirable weight loss for the residents. The policy defined a significant weight change as, 5% [percent] in one month, 7.5% in 3 months, and 10% in 6 months, and anything above these percentages considered a severe weight change. The policy instructed the staff to weigh residents upon admission and if no weight concerns were identified, then measured monthly. If an inaccurate weight was suspected or a 5% or more weight change identified, the facility reweighed the resident for confirmation. The facility notified the provider of significant weight changes once verified. The policy instructed the staff to investigate and analyze an unplanned significant weight change.

Review of a 03/16/2025 admission assessment showed Resident 60 admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with medically complex conditions. The assessment showed Resident 60 weighed 162 pounds (lb) and experienced no weight loss.

An observation and interview on 04/18/2025 at 1:11 PM showed Resident 60 in bed. Resident 60 said they did not know if they had lost weight or what their current weight was since their admission to the facility. When asked if the facility involved them in decisions about their diet, food preferences, and where to eat, the resident said, Not really. Resident 60 said they did not necessarily want to lose weight, that their weight prior to coming to the facility was 161 lb, and no staff reviewed their current weight with them.

Additionally, the nurses Level of Harm - Minimal harm or documented Resident 60 refused to be weighed on 03/12/2025, NA [not applicable] for 03/24/2025, and potential for actual harm refused again on 03/31/2025. The progress notes for March 2025 showed no documentation about why the resident refused to be weighed and what the staff did to address the reason for the refusals and obtain a Residents Affected - Some weight.

Review of the Weight Summary section in the electronic medical record (EMR) showed the staff obtained Resident 60's first weight on 03/17/2025, seven days after admission. The weight obtained was 149.4 lb, a severe weight loss of almost 8% in one week and under 30 days compared to the hospital weights. Record

review showed no documentation the staff re-weighed Resident 60 to confirm the severe weight loss, or completed weekly weights as ordered on or around 03/24/2025 and 03/31/2025.

Review of a 03/17/2025 Nutritional at Risk Assessment completed by Staff HH, Registered Dietitian (RD), showed it was an initial assessment and acknowledged the 03/17/2025 weight of 149.4 lb. as the most recent weight. The assessment showed Staff HH assessed Resident 60 with a moderate decrease in food intake over the past three months due to loss of appetite, digestive problems, chewing or swallowing difficulties. The assessment asked if there was weight loss during the last three months, to which Staff HH answered, does not know. The assessment concluded that Resident 60 was at risk of malnutrition due to two or more medical conditions and established a goal to maintain weight. Approaches to achieve weight maintenance included monitoring significant weight loss. Staff HH documented they, Need updated weight.

In an interview on 04/18/2025 at 1:54 PM, Staff QQ, Nursing Assistant (NA) said they managed resident refusals by reapproaching the resident and letting the nurse know. Staff QQ said Resident 60 refused meals because the resident, is just not hungry. The meal doesn't look good to her. Staff QQ said the floor NA weighed residents and Resident 60 did not like to get out of bed because, I think [they are] depressed. Staff QQ said they notified the nurse when Resident 60 refused to be weighed.

In an interview on 04/18/2025 at 2:30 PM, Staff C described how the facility identified weight concerns for a newly admitted resident. Staff C said they and Staff HH attended a Nutrition and Hydration meeting every Thursday. Staff C said staff obtained weights on admission, then weekly after that, and go on to monthly weights if stable. Staff C said the facility determined a change in weight from the time of admission occurred, by reviewing hospital records of weights, interviewing the resident, and Staff HH went to meet the resident. Staff C said, If [the resident is] of sound cognition they will usually give you a baseline of what [their weight] is. Staff C said they expected the provider and resident representative to be notified of a significant weight change. Staff C said they did not know why Resident 60 refused to be weighed. Staff C acknowledged Resident 60's weights from the hospital upon record review and that a significant weight change should have been identified in the 03/20/2025 nutrition meeting with Staff HH.

In an interview on 04/18/2025 at 02:01 PM, Staff HH stated they provided services at the facility Monday through Friday. Staff HH said they identified weight concerns for a newly admitted resident by completing an overview of their admit paperwork upon admission and participate in their initial care conference. Staff HH said they evaluated new residents weekly and determined weight changes from the time of admission by reviewing weight measurements obtained by the staff. Staff HH said, Sometimes I don't consider a hospital weight to be reliable and not having a current weight, makes it harder to gather a baseline for new admit. I can't always come up with a proper intervention if there needs to be one. Staff HH stated that when they identified a significant weight loss, We evaluate the reason for that weight loss and Yes, I notify family and providers. Staff HH said it was unknown to them why Resident 60 refused to be weighed by the staff.

<Resident 88>

Review of a 03/22/2025 admission assessment showed Resident 88 admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with medically complex conditions. The assessment showed the resident was cognitively intact and received dialysis (a procedure that removed waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys failed to do so) services.

Review of March 2025 Medication Administration Record (MAR) showed an order that instructed the nurses to provide Resident 88 Nepro (a therapeutic liquid nutrition specifically designed for dialysis patients to help meet their unique nutritional needs, offering higher protein content and lower levels of potassium and phosphorus) prior to dialysis on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The order showed kitchen staff would stock the North Nutrition Room refrigerator with the supplement. The Nepro was scheduled for administration at 5:00 AM. The order asked the nurses to document the amount consumed in mL [milliliter, a measurement], if possible, and to document refusals of the supplement. Review of administration documentation showed a 9 [Other/See progress notes] on 03/10/2025, 03/21/2025 and 03/24/2025, a 3 [absent from facility/hospitalized ] on 03/12/2025, a 2 [refused] on 03/19/2025, and left blank on 03/14/2025. Further review of the MAR showed the days of the Nepro administration changed to Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, with a 9 documented on 03/27/2025 and 237 mL on 03/29/2025.

Review of progress notes associated with the March 2025 MAR Nepro order showed the nurses documented

Review of the April 2025 MAR showed an order that instructed the nurses to provide Resident 88 Nepro prior to dialysis on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 5:00 AM. The order showed kitchen staff would stock

the North Nutrition Room refrigerator with the supplement. Every administration from 04/01/2025 to 04/17/2025 was signed by a nurse and 9 [Other/See progress notes].

Review of progress notes associated with the April 2025 MAR Nepro order showed on 04/01/2025 no documentation of the amount of Nepro Resident 88 consumed. On 04/03/2025 and 04/05/2025, the nurses documented no intake due to, takes own later in the day. On 04/08/2025 the nurse documented, dialysis is later in the day.

F 0801 An observation and interview on 04/21/2025 at 5:02 AM showed Resident 88 sitting on the edge of the bed. When asked about their knowledge of the Nepro supplement, the resident stated, Oh it was just horrible. It Level of Harm - Minimal harm or tasted horrible. I didn't like it at all. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It was really watered down. It made potential for actual harm me sick to my stomach. Resident 88 said they bought their own supplement locally, their significant other brought it to the facility, and the resident would then take it to dialysis with them. Resident 88 identified the Residents Affected - Some supplement they took with them on dialysis days as Ensure Plus (a general-purpose nutritional supplement for those with increased nutritional needs). Resident 88 said Staff HH saw them physically, Just once, a month ago, about 35 days ago.

Review of March 2025 Nutrition and Hydration notes showed Staff HH acknowledged the staff sent the Nepro with Resident 88 to the dialysis center on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (03/20/2025 and 04/03/2025), 100% of the Nepro was given to the resident on dialysis days (03/27/2025), and the resident accepted the Nepro three times a week 100% of the time. There was no documentation that showed Staff HH ascertained how much of the Nepro Resident 88 consumed when the nurses documented 9 or the extent of Resident 88's refusal of the supplement.

An observation of the North Nutrition refrigerator and interview with Staff TT, Licensed Practical Nurse on 04/21/2025 at 4:14 AM, showed no presence of Nepro. Staff TT stated Resident 88 chose to buy their own supplement, and staff stored the supplement then gave it to the resident whenever they asked for it. Staff TT stated the supplement Resident 88 purchased was, I think it's an Ensure Plus. Staff TT stated the Nepro, That was the one [they] didn't like. That's why I chart [the resident] refuses. Staff TT said Resident 88 did not like the taste of Nepro and that's why they chose to buy another supplement. When asked about night nurses documenting in the MAR that they gave Resident 88 their supplement at 5:00 AM, Staff TT stated, I'm not here to say if [they] drank it. Staff TT said the resident told staff they did not like the taste of Nepro.

In an interview and observation of the facility dry food storage area on 04/21/2025 at 5:14 AM, Staff GG, Dietary Manager, showed the availability of Nepro. Staff GG stated one resident in the facility was on Nepro. Staff GG said they knew which supplements to provide the residents with when the nurses ordered them or by instructions in the meal ticket. Staff GG stated a doctor's order of the supplement required of the nurse to, come to the kitchen to get them. Staff GG showed a Dialysis Sack Lunch schedule with the name of two residents, of which Resident 88 was one of them. The schedule showed their dialysis days, when to be ready for dialysis transport pick-up, the type of diet, and what to provide with their sack lunches. The schedule showed it was created by Staff HH. There was no documentation in the schedule that showed Resident 88 required Nepro prior to dialysis.

In an interview on 04/21/2025 at 6:57 AM, Staff RR, Registered Nurse (RN), stated they were unsure what Resident 88's dialysis sack lunch included. Staff RR stated Resident 88's significant other, was bringing [the resident] the Boost [a general nutritional drink] and stopped supplying the Boost and was doing the Ensure. Ensure is not very good for dialysis patients so they switched [Resident 88] to the Nepro. Staff RR stated the resident was, now on the Nepro and that just started this week. Staff RR stated that they saw Resident 88 take the Boost to dialysis.

In an interview on 04/21/2025 at 7:12 AM, Staff SS, NA, stated they were unsure if Resident 88 took a bottle of supplement with them to the dialysis center because, [the resident] packs a bag [themselves] of stuff [they] take. But I do know for sure [the resident has] bought some Glucerna [a liquid supplement specifically designed for individuals with diabetes or prediabetes to help manage blood sugar levels] and takes with [them] to dialysis.

According to an admission assessment dated [DATE REDACTED], Resident 263 was admitted with diagnoses which included surgical aftercare following a hip fracture, cirrhosis (a chronic condition which scar tissue replaced healthy liver tissue) and ascites (an abnormal buildup of fluid in the abdomen, often caused by late-stage cirrhosis of the liver.) The resident was alert and able to make their needs known.

A physician note, dated 04/02/2025, documented that the resident had required weekly paracentesis (a medical procedure in which a tube was inserted into the abdomen, to drain excess fluid).

Review of the medical record showed the resident had admission orders for weekly weights for three weeks, then monthly for four weeks. The resident's weight dropped from 142.7 lb. on 03/31/2025 to 116.2 lb. on 04/15/2025, a loss of 26.5 lb. in 15 days, which indicated a significant and severe weight loss.

A Nutrition and Hydration meeting note dated 04/10/2025, documented the significant weight change and that their food/fluid intake had been adequate. Per the note, Staff HH attended.

A further review of the medical record showed no comprehensive nutritional assessment was completed by Staff HH as required.

During an interview on 04/23/2025 at 3:47 PM, Staff HH stated they completed the comprehensive assessment within one week of admission, or sooner if their admission paperwork showed a concern. Staff HH acknowledged they had done Resident 263's full assessment as they were behind on them.

The Residents Affected - Some resident was very thin in appearance and a glass of untouched vanilla protein drink was sitting on the bedside tray table. When asked about their care, Resident 313 stated they had been at the facility for a long time, but was unable to give details or the date.

In an interview on 04/15/2025 at 10:29 AM, Resident 313's representative stated the resident's appetite was very poor and that was to be expected, but they would drink Ensure, a brand that makes nutritional drinks. When asked if Ensure was provided, the representative stated they had been told the facility used a different kind of nutritional drink, and it was their understanding Ensure was not available, so they purchased and brought it in for Resident 313.

Review of Resident 313's record found the following information:

- The meal monitor records from 03/25/2025 through 04/16/2025 documented Resident 313 refused meals

on 12 out of the 25 days they resided at the facility.

- The care plan had nutritional interventions implemented on 03/30/2025, but did not include resident specific goals or interventions related to the resident's diagnoses of malnutrition or adult failure to thrive. The interventions were generic and not resident centered, nor did they provide instruction and/or information to

the nursing staff to inform them of Resident 313's dietary likes/dislikes or preferences.

- The admission nutrition assessment was completed on 04/16/2025, 22 days after the resident was admitted to the facility. The assessment showed Resident 313 was offered and refused the facility's house nutritional drink, but aside from monitoring food intake at meals and encouraging food and fluid intake, no other nutritional interventions or considerations were offered or implemented. The assessment documented Resident 313's dietary preferences and dislikes were included on the dietary profile and referred nursing staff to the profile for details, however, no dietary profile was found in Resident 313's record.
