This failure put the resident at risk for a possible decline in their physical and mental well-being and decreased quality of life.
Findings included .
A review of the 01/01/2025 admission assessment documented Resident 156 had diagnoses including bone infection of the hip, ankylosing spondylosis (causes swelling, joint pain and fatigue), and depression. Resident 156 was cognitively intact, and took antidepressant, antianxiety, and opioid pain medications daily.
The resident had a depression screening score of 6 (on a scale of 0 to 27, six indicating mild depression) related to poor appetite, feeling tired, feeling down and depressed, and little interest in doing things.
The 12/26/2024 care plan documented Resident 156 used antidepressant medication. Staff were instructed to administer medications as ordered, educate the resident regarding the risks and benefits of the medication and possible side effects, monitor for effectiveness and report any side effects.
The provider had given orders for Resident 156 to receive the following medications:
-12/26/2024 amitriptyline 150 milligrams (mg) at bedtime for depression and
-12/29/2024 Enbrel 50 mg/milliliter (ml), inject 1 ml weekly every Sunday for osteoarthritis (when flexible tissue at the end of bones wore down, caused pain, swelling and stiffness in the joints).
A review of the medication administration records (MAR) for December 2024 and January 2025 showed Resident 156 did not receive Enbrel on 12/29/2024, 01/05/2025, and 01/12/2025. A code OO was entered on
the MAR. The Resident also did not receive amitriptyline on 01/11/2025, 01/12/2025, and 01/15/2025 and
the same code OO was entered on the MAR. The key on the MAR documented code OO indicated the medication was on order from the pharmacy.
When reviewed, there were no progress notes related to the missed doses of the Enbrel and amitriptyline.
During an interview on 01/17/2025 at 12:32 PM, Staff Y, Resident Care Manager, stated if a medication is not in the cart, staff were to look in the the overflow drawer on the cart and if not there, they were to see if it was available in the Cubex (a large medication storage unit that housed various medications staff were able to use until the regular ordered medications were received from the pharmacy.) If not in the Cubex, staff were to notify the pharmacy so the medication could be special delivered. Staff were also to notify the provider. Staff Y reviewed the Cubex Inventory report the facility provided to the surveyor, and neither the Enbrel nor amitriptyline were in the Cubex. Staff Y stated they would need to contact the pharmacy and would follow up.

HAND HYGIENE
Review of the facility policy titled, Handwashing/Hand Hygiene updated March 2018, showed hand hygiene was the primary means to prevent the spread of infections. Hand hygiene could be performed by use of alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) or washing hands with soap and water. The policy showed hand hygiene should be performed before and after direct contact with residents, after contact with a resident's intact skin,
after contact with objects in the immediate vicinity of a resident and after glove removal, before and after entering an isolation precaution setting, and before and after assisting a resident with meals.
According to the website CDC.gov - with regard to hand hygiene showed, hand hygiene protects both healthcare personnel and patients. Hand hygiene means handwashing with water and soap or antiseptic hand rub (alcohol-based foam or gel hand sanitizer). Recommendations for hand hygiene in healthcare settings are immediately before touching a patient, before moving from work on a soiled body site to a clean body site on the same patient, after touching a patient or the patient's immediate environment, after contact with blood, body fluids, or contaminated surfaces, and immediately after glove removal.

In a similar observation on 01/13/2025 at 7:05 AM, the resident had a regular cup, and one cup of the fluids contained ice cubes (resident was prescribed thickened liquids). At 7:55 AM, the resident had three cups of fluids, and none were in a sippy cup. On 01/15/2025 at 12:33 PM and 01/16/2025 at 7:58 AM, the resident had consumed fluids out of a regular cup.
In an interview on 01/15/2025 at 1:39 PM, Staff OO, Nursing Assistant, stated supervision for meals meant sitting with the resident but they did not have enough staff to do so when the residents ate in their rooms. Staff OO stated they looked at the resident's care plan or meal tickets to know if they needed adaptive equipment for meals. When asked why it was important for the resident to have a sippy cup, Staff OO stated to prevent choking. Staff OO stated any resident that received thickened liquids should not have had ice in their fluids as they could choke or aspirate.
During an interview on 01/16/2025 at 2:19 PM, Staff B, Director of Nursing, stated Resident 54 had not triggered for weight loss, but had lost 15 lbs. Staff B added interventions would be placed prior to weight loss. Staff B stated a resident that requires sippy cups should have them for all liquids and this was important to control the flow of the liquids and stated residents on thickened liquids should not have ice cubes unless
they have signed a risk/benefit form, and this could cause aspiration.
In an interview on 01/17/2025 at 2:41 PM, Staff S, Registered Dietician, stated Resident 54 had a downward trend in their weight. When asked what interventions were put in place for the resident over the past six months, Staff S stated they had a downgrade in their diet, change in adaptive equipment and aspiration precautions. Staff S added house supplement had been added on 12/23/2024. When asked if interventions should have been placed prior to December 2024, Staff S stated it possibly could have helped to start the house supplement sooner or to have increased it. Staff S acknowledged Resident 54 was diabetic and added they did not have sugar free house supplement in stock, and it had to be ordered when needed.

F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 37544 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure bi-level positive airway Residents Affected - Few pressure (BIPAP, a machine that helped people breathe by delivering pressurized air into their lungs through their nose, or nose and mouth) was implemented as ordered by the physician for 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident 81) reviewed for respiratory care. This failure placed the resident at risk for impaired sleep, unmet care needs, and a diminished quality of life.
Findings included .
The 11/14/2024 quarterly assessment documented Resident 81 was moderately cognitively impaired, was able to make their needs known, and had diagnoses which included stroke and impaired ability to move the upper and lower extremity on one side of their body. In addition, the assessment documented the resident was dependent on nursing staff to complete activities of daily living (ADLS) for getting dressed.
Review of Resident 81's care plan showed a respiratory care plan was developed on 12/10/2024 to provide interventions to treat the resident's sleep apnea, a condition that caused breathing to stop during sleeping.
The care plan informed nursing staff the resident had a BIPAP machine, and the licensed staff were to ensure the BIPAP was worn by the resident while sleeping, including naps as ordered.
Observations of Resident 81 sleeping in bed and/or their wheelchair without the BIPAP being worn were made on the following:
- 01/10/2025 at 11:34 AM, 11:42 AM, and 11:58 AM.
- 01/13/2025 at 8:01 AM, and 10:41 AM; and 01/14/2025 at 8:34 AM.
During the observation on 01/14/2025 at 8:34 AM of Resident 81 not wearing the BIPAP, the resident woke up and stated they didn't get much sleep yesterday.
In an interview on 01/15/2025 at 3:38 PM, Resident 81's spouse stated it was important for the resident to wear the BIPAP anytime they were asleep due to the high risk for another stroke and decreased alertness from not sleeping well.
In an interview on 01/17/2025 at 5:11 PM, Staff DD, Nursing Assistant, stated Resident 81 used a BIPAP at night, did not use it during the day when they nappped, just when they slept at night to help them breath. When asked how the nursing staff knew what the care needs were for residents, Staff DD, stated the resident's care plans provided information and instructions.
In an interview on 01/17/2025 at 6:00 PM, Staff B, Director of Nursing, was informed of the multiple
observations of Resident 81 not wearing the BIPAP while sleeping. After review of the residents' orders and record, Staff B confirmed the resident needed to wear the BIPAP whenever sleeping, including naps as ordered.

Residents Affected - Many Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the facility had enough staff to provide care according to facility acuity (the level of severity of residents' illnesses, physical, mental, and cognitive limitations, and conditions) and/or care plans for 5 of 9 sampled resident's (Resident 40, 31, 27, 24 and 28), reviewed for sufficient staffing. This failure placed all residents at risk for potentially avoidable accidents, unmet care needs, and diminished quality of life.
Findings included .
Review of the facility assessment reviewed 08/15/2024, showed staffing levels were determined at the facility level to ensure there were enough staff with appropriate competencies and skill set necessary to care for the residents' needs as identified through resident assessments and plans of care. The facility would consider staffing needs for each shift and would adjust as necessary based on any changes to its resident population.
The assessment further showed the facility average daily census was 105 over the last six months with an average of 70 long term care and 35 short term/rehabilitation residents. The facility reviewed resident acuity levels to understand potential implications regarding the intensity and complexity of care and services needed. The assessment showed the facility contingency staffing plan included the use of on-call managers who would come into the building to provided coverage as needed and the use of staffing agencies for immediate and long-term staffing needs when needed.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm In an interview on 01/07/2025 at 11:29 AM, Resident 28 explained they approached the nurses' station after waiting 50 minutes for their call light to be answered and observed staff sitting around while call lights were Residents Affected - Many going off.
In an interview on 01/17/2025 at 12:28 PM, Staff G, Nursing Assistant (NA), stated they were unsure how the facility determined staffing levels. Staff G explained when a NA called in the facility pulled staff from another unit or placed the restorative staff on the floor. Staff G acknowledged residents had excessively long call light wait times when not enough staff.
In an interview on 01/17/2025 at 12:52 PM, Staff E, Registered Nurse, stated they were unsure how the facility determined staffing levels. Staff E explained when a nurse called in, sometimes the resident care manager (RCM) came in to help. When a NA called in staff would be pulled from another unit or from the restorative nursing program. Staff E stated restorative nursing staff wore dual hats sometimes they were restorative aides and other times they were a floor aide. Staff E further stated the restorative program did not have a big pool of staff to pull from, only 2 or 3 restorative aides, but pulling from restorative staff was the last resort because that staff was not replaced when pulled to the floor. Staff E acknowledged residents had to wait a long time to get help when there was not enough staff.
In an interview on 01/17/2025 at 12:59 PM, Staff D, RCM, stated in theory staffing should be based on census and acutely level. Staff D explained when staff called in, they were to call the facility to get the on-call managers number and call the on-call manager. The on-call manager was to attempt to call staff in and if unable to fill the vacancy, the facility would pull the shower aides to the floor or place restorative nursing staff
on the floor. Staff D explained if the bathe aide was pulled to the floor each NA would be responsible for completing their own bathes, if the restorative aide was pulled to the floor, no staff replaced restorative because they did not have the training, there was no restorative program. A tracking log of attempts to fill call ins was requested from Staff D. Staff D acknowledged the facility had no tracking log of who was called in an attempt to fill staffing call ins when they occurred. Staff D was asked about facility acuity. Staff D explained Oak hall was long-term care residents, rooms 101 through 120 had lighter care needs while rooms 128 through 146 had heavier care needs with higher use of full body lifts for dependent residents. Staff D explained as the resident care manager they had attempted to readjust the NA section assignments based
on resident acuity, but floor staff did not honor managements changes and readjust the assignments. Staff D acknowledged some residents had excessively long call light wait times, especially the back of Oak hall, rooms 128 through 146.
During interview and record review on 01/17/2025 at 1:20 PM, Staff U, Staffing Coordinator, explained they followed a handwritten staffing guide. Staff U provided a copy. Review of the form provided by Staff U showed staffing assignments for Oak hall for staffing from three up to eight direct care staff and instructed nurses to adjust assignments based on resident behaviors and use of transfer lifts. Staff U explained Oak hall was long-term care, residents in the front part of Oak required less assistance than the residents toward
the back of Oak hall. Staff U stated staff assigned to the front of Oak sometimes cared for more residents because they required less assistance, but that was not consistent. Staff U acknowledged staff who worked
the back of Oak hall had voiced concerns about needing more staff in that area.

Resident 36 was seated in a recliner, and a four-wheeled walker and wheelchair were positioned at the end of their bed by their closet just past the recliner. When asked what types of activities the resident preferred to participate in, Resident 36 stated they mainly stayed in their room. They stated they were supposed to get restorative therapy, but the restorative aides were usually pulled to direct care assignments. Resident 36 stated their restorative activity was important to them because they did not want to stiffen up.
During an interview on 01/15/2025 at 10:46 AM, a staff member that wished to remain anonymous stated when a resident was discharged from therapy, physical therapy determined what restorative program was appropriate for a resident. They stated each RNA had 18-20 residents a piece. They tried to see each resident 4-5 times a week. If a resident refused, the RNA marked refused in their documentation. If the resident participated, but did an activity other than what was in their plan, such as walking instead of doing active range of motion, the RNA documented that the resident did not complete the plan as written with no but the resident still got RNA services. When a Resident was in their window for charting (the look back period for their comprehensive assessments), they were seen 6 times in the week. The staff member stated
they worked often with Resident 36, and noticed the resident was not doing as much. They stated they notified therapy the resident was not doing as well. The staff member stated they were often given direct care assignments so were unable to complete RNA activities. Consistency was important for Resident 36 because they lost progress quickly without their restorative work.
