Start date 7/17/24.

Surveyor noted the above care plans were developed after Surveyor spoke with SW-O.

On 7/18/24, at 7:39 a.m., Surveyor asked CNA-DD what she could tell Surveyor about R44. CNA-DD informed Surveyor she's pretty independent, makes her needs known.

Surveyor asked if R44 comes out of her room. CNA-DD replied no.

Surveyor asked if she likes to keep things. CNA-DD replied you mean like hoarding, yes.

Surveyor asked CNA-DD if R44 will let her throw her things away. CNA-DD replied no.

physician was never consulted with that R29 was not being administered scheduled pain medication.

On 7/18/24, at 10:27 AM, Surveyor interviewed R29's primary physician (PP)-U who confirmed that PP-U was not made aware by facility nursing staff that R29 was not receiving R29's scheduled morphine and was not aware that R29 had developed a stage 1 pressure ulcer to the coccyx. PP-U confirmed PP-U should have been notified of these issues.

On 7/18/24, at 12:52 PM, Director of Nursing (DON)-B is aware that R29 was not receiving scheduled pain medications and does not know if R29's physician was notified. DON-B informed Surveyor that DON-B thinks the activated HCPOA was notified that R29 was going to the ER on [DATE] and will need to look for documentation in a soft file.

On 7/18/24, at 3:42 PM, Surveyor shared the concern with Nursing Home Administrator (NHA)-A that there is no documentation that the activated HCPOA was notified of R29 going out for the 6/3/24 x-ray to the ER and that the primary physician was not consulted with regarding the nurses not administering R29's scheduled morphine and of R29's new stage 1 pressure ulcer on R29's coccyx. At this time, no further information was provided by the facility in regards to notification not being completed for R29's injuries of unknown origin, the decision to transfer R29 to the ER for an x-ray, and the deterioration in R29's skin condition as evidenced by R29's stage 1 pressure ulcer on the coccyx.

On 7/29/24, at 12:33 PM, Surveyor reviewed additional information provided by the facility after the survey process was completed.

Surveyor continues to have concerns that the notification on 6/3/24 was not to R29's activated HCPOA.

Surveyor remains with concerns that R29's PP-U was not notified of R29's injuries of unknown injuries, that prescribed pain medications were not being administered, and that R29 developed a stage 1 pressure area.

Surveyor asked

Surveyor asked NHA-A why R29's bruising to both the left and right eye, and the right great toe

stated that a written grievance was completed in regards to the injuries which NHA-A provided a copy to Surveyor. A signed grievance dated 5/23/24 by NHA-A documents that the bruising to R29's eyes were self inflicted by R29.

The intervention for R29's fractures was the buddy system.

Surveyor notes implementing the buddy system is not on R29's CNA worksheet or comprehensive care plan. NHA-A stated the right great toe fracture may be related to getting caught between the foot rest and side of Broda chair and the femur fracture is related to R29's diagnosis of osteoporosis. NHA-A stated that there was always an explanation and within 2 hours we identified it was all self inflicted.

Surveyor notes that the grievance was initiated on 5/16/24, however, bruising to the left eye was discovered on 5/2/24.

Surveyor shared with NHA-A that R29's injuries that were not reported meet the definition of Injuries of unknown source as R29 could not explain, there was no witness, and based on the location and number of injuries sustained by R29.

On 7/29/24, at 12:33 PM, Surveyor reviewed additional information provided by the facility after the survey process was completed.

Surveyor continues to have concerns that R29's injuries of unknown origin at the time of discovery was not submitted to the State Survey agency.

and Federal requirements.

Policy Interpretation and Implementation C. If the Resident sustains a witnessed head trauma or an unwitnessed fall, the Resident should be observed for neurological abnormalities.

Neurological checks are initiated and completed for 72 hours.

If abnormal symptoms occur, the health care provider should be notified.

On 7/16/24, at 1:49 PM, Surveyor reviewed R25's unwitnessed fall investigation. R25 was trying to reach for a Gatorade, forgot R25 had 1 leg, and fell in the process. R25 was helped off the floor and placed back in bed.

Surveyor is unable to locate any neurological checks (neuro checks) completed for R25's 6/30/24 unwitnessed fall in R25's medical record.

On 7/17/24, at 7:26 AM, Surveyor interviewed Unit Manager (UM)-J. UM-J confirmed that if a resident has an unwitnessed fall, that neuro checks should be completed.

Surveyor shared that Surveyor is unable to locate the neuro checks for R25's unwitnessed fall on 6/30/24. UM-J stated UM-J will look for R25's neuro checks.

On 7/17/24, at 3:51 PM, Surveyor shared the concern with Nursing Home Administrator (NHA)-A that there are no documented neuro checks for R25's 6/30/24 unwitnessed fall. No further information was provided at this time by the facility.

The facility has been unable to provide completed neuro checks for R25's 6/30/24 unwitnessed fall.

On 7/22/24, at 9:07 AM, Surveyor interviewed Director of Nursing (DON)-B in regards to neuro checks.

DON-B stated that neuro checks are documented on paper. DON-B stated the initial neuro check is completed right after the fall. DON-B then stated that neuro checks should be every 15 minutes times 4, every 30 minutes times 4, every hour times 4, and once a shift (3) for 3 days. DON-B confirmed that all neuro checks should be completed with all unwitnessed falls.

Surveyor shared the concern with DON-B that neuro checks have not been located for R25's 6/30/24 unwitnessed fall. DON-B stated DON-B will need to look for R25's neuro checks.

On 7/22/24, at 2:47 PM, Surveyor received from NHA-A neuro checks for R25.

R29 needed to be seen by WMD-W but does not recall the exact date. DON-B does not know why WMD-W did not see R20 on 7/15/24. DON-B confirmed the air mattress setting is determined by weight.

On 7/18/24, at 10:27 AM, Surveyor interviewed R29's primary physician (PP)-U via phone who stated PP-U was not notified by the facility that R29 had any pressure areas.

On 7/18/24, at 10:37 AM, Surveyor interviewed HRN-S again. HRN-S informed Surveyor that medi honey is not ordered as the treatment to R29's open area. HRN-S confirmed that DON-B was told last week to place R20 on WMD-W list to be seen but was informed that R29 did not get seen because state was in the facility. HRN-S confirmed that on 6/20/24 both RN-L and DON-B were informed of R29's stage 1 pressure area on the left buttock and coccyx.

On 7/18/24, at 11:19 AM, Surveyor spoke with WMD-W via phone. WMD-W confirmed that WMD-W was first notified on 7/17/24 in the morning that R29 needed to be evaluated by WMD-W.

Surveyor asked WMD-D how important are air mattress settings to be correct. WMD-D stated It is very important to be correct. Do not want to be incorrect and have a Resident 'bottom out'. WMD-D confirmed the setting is based on a Resident's weight.

On 7/18/24, at 4:06 PM, Surveyor again shared the concern with NHA-A that R29's heel, left buttock, and coccyx has not been assessed with measurements by the facility.

Surveyor shared that hospice had requested on 7/11/24 for R29 to be seen by the WMD-W and that was not initiated by the facility and the treatment order for the coccyx was not entered until 7/17/24 after Surveyor expressed concern.

Surveyor stated that R29's air mattress has not been set at the correct setting during the survey process and R29's primary[TRUNCATED]

replied Hoyer because of the external fixator.

Surveyor asked if R13 was a Hoyer transfer during the

taken out.

Surveyor asked PTA-EE when R13's transfer status changed. PTA-EE informed Surveyor he didn't know.

Surveyor asked PTA-EE if he could find out when R13 was no longer a Hoyer transfer and could bear weight.

On 7/18/24, at 10:40 a.m., Surveyor asked DON (Director of Nursing)-B if she knew R13. DON-B informed Surveyor the day she came back, R13 went to the hospital and doesn't have any information regarding R13.

On 7/18/24, at 11:00 a.m., Surveyor spoke with COTA/DOR (Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant/Director of Rehab)-N. COTA/DOR-N informed Surveyor R13 went back to the hospital on 4/17/24 to get the fixator removed and when she came back she was weight bearing as tolerated with a cam boot. COTA/DOR-N informed Surveyor she doesn't have a copy of the order but they all go into the system.

Surveyor asked COTA/DOR-N if R13 was a Hoyer transfer on 3/29/24. COTA/DOR-N replied yes because she was non weight bearing with left foot and per the therapist at the end of her stay she was walking about 60 feet.

On 7/18/24, at 12:22 p.m., Surveyor asked NHA (Nursing Home Administrator)-A who Surveyor could speak with regarding R13's fall on 3/29/24 as at the time of the fall R13 was non weight bearing with a Hoyer lift and the CNA transferred R13 by herself. NHA-A informed Surveyor the staff here now weren't here. NHA-A informed Surveyor he will get the number of 3 staff who were here and see if they will speak with Surveyor.

On 7/18/24, at 4:06 p.m., during the end of the day meeting Surveyor informed NHA-A Surveyor has a concern the facility's investigation for R13's fall on 3/29/24 does not address the CNA transferring R13 by herself when R13 was a Hoyer lift.

Surveyor informed NHA-A R13 was a Hoyer lift transfer until 4/17/24 when she went to the hospital to have the external fixator removed.

On 7/22/24, at approximately 8:00 a.m., NHA-A provided Surveyor with LPN-GG's name and phone number.

Surveyor was not provided with any other staff to contact.

On 7/22/24, at 9:15 a.m., Surveyor spoke with LPN-GG on the telephone.

Surveyor informed LPN-GG Surveyor wanted to speak with her about R13 who had a fall on 3/29/24.

Surveyor asked LPN-GG if she remembers R13. LPN-GG informed Surveyor she doesn't remember R13 and then informed Surveyor she remembers one time on the 3rd floor there was a resident who was lowered to the floor.

LPN-GG informed Surveyor she was by herself and called the manager. LPN-GG informed Surveyor she wasn't sure if she did the SBAR or the manager did.

Surveyor read LPN-GG her nurses note dated 3/29/24 and asked if she was involved in the investigation. LPN-GG replied no. LPN-GG informed Surveyor the manager was going to take care of everything.

Surveyor informed LPN-GG Surveyor was looking into why the CNA transferred R13 by herself when R13 was a Hoyer transfer. LPN-GG inf[TRUNCATED]

Surveyor had several observations during survey of R315's catheter bag not covered in a privacy bag and was visible from the hallway. R315's care plan was not revised to indicate if R315 did not mind if R315's catheter bag was visible to others.

Findings include: R315 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and has diagnoses that include encounter for surgical after care (placement of urostomy) following surgery on the digestive system, bowel obstruction, ESBL (extended spectrum beta-lactamase) infection, and weakness.

R315's baseline care plan initiated on 7/12/2024 indicated R315 had intact cognition with a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15. R315 used a wheeled walker and limited assist of 1 staff member for transferring, mobility, and toileting. R315 was admitted with a urostomy and right arm PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) line to have antibiotics administered through.

On 7/15/2024, at 10:57 AM, Surveyor observed R315 lying in bed watching TV. R315 stated R315 was tired and wanted to rest.

Surveyor observed R315 had a catheter bag located on the right side of R315's bed with a small amount of hematuria (bloody urine).

Surveyor asked R315 regarding the hematuria. R315 stated that R315 just had the urostomy placed and was to be expected and would clear up. R315 stated R315 was on antibiotics for it because R315 developed a major infection.

Surveyor noted that R315's catheter bag was visible from the hallway and not in a privacy bag.

On 7/16/2024, at 7:50 AM, Surveyor observed R315 sleeping in bed, R315's catheter bag was on the right side of the bed, visible from the hallway, and not in a privacy bag.

Surveyor noted a small amount of hematuria in catheter bag.

On 7/17/2024, at 7:38 AM, Surveyor observed R315 lying in bed watching TV.

Surveyor noted R315's catheter bag on the rights side of the bed, visible from the hallway, and not in a privacy bag.

Surveyor noted a small amount of light yellow urine in bag with streaks of red through it. R315 stated R315 noticed urine was looking better.

On 7/18/2024, at 9:19 AM, Surveyor shared observations with unit manager (UM)-J and director of nursing (DON)-B regarding R315's catheter bag not in a privacy bag and visible from the hallway.

UM-J stated R315's family member wanted the catheter bag uncovered so they were able to see it.

Surveyor stated that R315 was R315's own person and if it was ok with R315 the care plan was not revised to indicate that R315 did not want the catheter bag covered. UM-J and DON-B expressed understanding with Surveyors concerns.

R11 denied feeling dry.

tubing and humidification not being labeled and R11's humidification was dry/ empty all day on

watching TV. R11's tubing was not labeled and there was now a new humidification jar on the concentrator but was not labeled as to when it was put on. UM-J shared understanding of concerns and agreed that the oxygen tubing and humidification needs to be labeled and checked on frequently especially if R11's oxygen gets turned up. UM-J stated that typically NOC/3rd shift is responsible for changing out the tubing and humidification for oxygen concentrators.

On 7/18/2024, at 4:10 PM, Surveyor shared concerns with nursing home administrator (NHA)-A regarding R11's oxygen tubing and humidification not being labeled during survey and R11's humidification was dry/empty all day on 7/17/2024. NHA-A shared understanding of Surveyors concerns.

never called hospice to communicate they were not giving R29's prescribed pain medications. HS-V

HRN-S stated HRN-S has never seen the lidocaine patch on R29 and when HRN-S asked RN-L about it, RN-L responded where am I supposed to put it.

On 7/18/24, at 12:52 PM, Director of Nursing (DON)-B is aware that R29 was not receiving scheduled pain medications and does not know if R29's physician was notified. DON-B understands the concern that no new pain assessment was completed by the facility when R29 sustained the right great toe fracture and and the right femur fracture and agreed the expectation would be to have new ones completed.

On 7/18/24, at 3:42 PM, Surveyor shared with Nursing Home Administrator (NHA)-A the concern that there is no documentation that the facility was monitoring R29's pain level every shift in May and June.

Surveyor shared there are multiple nursing progress notes that R29's scheduled morphine was not administered to R29, and hospice had to frequently ask for R29's pain medication to be administered and educate facility nurses on the importance to administer R29's pain medication in order to provide comfort and quality of life to R29. No further information was provided by the facility at this time in regards to R29's pain management.

On 7/29/24, at 12:33 PM, Surveyor reviewed additional information provided by the facility after the survey process was completed.

Surveyor reviewed the pain evaluation provided, however, Surveyor still has concerns.

The pain evaluation is not dated.

Surveyor continues to have concerns that R29's scheduled pain medication was not administered on several occasions and R29's pain level was not monitored every shift as physician orders documented for the month of May and June.

On 7/18/2024, at 10:14 AM, a Surveyor interviewed director of nursing (DON)-B who stated DON-B started looking at the pharmacy reviews a few weeks ago. DON-B stated there is a binder when reports are received from pharmacy and physicians are to review them to, they can indicate if they agree or disagree with the recommendation. DON-B stated DON-B was sent some stuff from the pharmacy and is trying to get caught up.

On 7/18/2024, at 1:15 PM, Surveyor was handed pharmacy review sheets for May, June, and July 2024 that was signed by the physician but there is no date documented when the physician reviewed the recommendations.
