Honor the resident’s right to organize and participate in resident/family groups in the
facility.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the Resident Council
(RC) and one resident (Resident #21) a response to complaints and recommendations. This
had the potential to affect all the facility residents. The facility census was 38.
1. Review of the facility undated Grievance Policy and Procedure showed it is the policy
to ensure prompt resolution to all residents’ grievances.
Review of RC meeting minutes, showed:
– On 10/8/18, the Dietary Manager (DM) was present to address resident complaints. The
council complained they were tired of soup and sandwiches. The minutes showed no response
to resident complaints for this meeting or prior meetings.
– On 11/12/18, the minutes showed no response to resident complaints for this meeting or
prior meetings.
– On 12/10/18, the minutes showed no response to resident complaints for this meeting or
prior meetings.
In an interview on 1/8/19 at 6:30 P.M., Resident #4 said the kitchen served too much soup.
Residents were tired of the same food being served all the time. The kitchen needed to
serve a variety of foods.
Review of the Facility Menu for the week’s evening meal main, showed:
– 1/6/19, chili dog.
– 1/7/19, turkey soup.
– 1/8/19, chicken and noodles.
– 1/9/19, beef stew.
– 1/10/19, potato soup.
In an interview on 1/10/19 at 8:55 A.M., the DM said:
– She attended one RC meeting since becoming the DM six months ago. She received copies of
the RC monthly meetings. Residents complain if something is not right with the food or if
they are tired of certain foods. She did not know to provide feedback to the resident
council regarding their dietary complaints.
– Resident #21 came to her individually to complain that residents are tired of soup and
sandwiches. She told Resident #21 she had to serve what was listed on the menu, but an
alternate was available. Sometimes the alternate was another kind of soup.
– She did not know why the menu regularly scheduled soup, soup type foods and sandwiches
for supper. Five months ago, she became aware of resident complaints regarding the soup
and sandwiches. The Registered Dietician Representative (RDR) came to the facility
monthly. She did not inform the RDR or the Registered Dietician (RD) of residents’ menu
complaints. She agreed with the residents that too much soup was on the menu. She only
informed Social Services (SS) of the complaints. She did not know how to change the menu.
No one has addressed the residents’ menu complaints. They did not have a substitution
menu.
During the resident group meeting on 1/10/19 at 10:14 A.M., residents said:
– Resident #21, Resident #7 and Resident #12 wanted to know why they had to have soup and
sandwiches regularly for meals. They wanted a variety of foods.
– Resident #7 said staff response to their complaints of food was to say Go tell someone
else.
– Resident #12 said salads were only lettuce and cheese. They used to serve taco salads.
– Resident #21 said the facility served too many hot dogs and meat patties. Residents
wanted a variety of meats. Residents were tired of meat always being served in a patty

ham, fried chicken and meatloaf. Staff served salads consisting of only lettuce and
cheese. Residents want lettuce salads to include meat and other vegetables. The DM and SS
told him/her it was left to the RD to change. He/she told the administrator about the food
service problem and nothing was done about it. He/she got up hungry from the table three
times last month due to dissatisfaction with the menu. The only response from staff was
there was nothing they could do about it, it was up to the RD. Staff told him/her they
expected him/her to tell the RD about the residents dissatisfaction with the menu.
In an interview on 1/10/19 at 3:30 P.M., the Administrator said:
– The DM was to respond to the RC and individual residents’ food complaints, but did not.
The DM should have communicated resident food complaints to the RD in order for the menu
to be adjusted.
– She agreed with the residents that there was too much soup served in the evenings. The
DM should have worked on preferences with the residents and responded to resident
complaints.
– The resident council meeting minutes showed no resolution to resident complaints.
In an interview on 1/11/19 at 9:20 A.M., the SS said:
– She had the DM come to the 10/2018 RC meeting to address resident complaints of too much
soup and wanting more meat and other food items served. She expected the DM to get back
with the council on their concerns. She was unaware that the DM had not done so.
– She agreed with the residents that there was too much soup served and the menu needed
more variety.
– The facility did not have a RC policy.
– RC meetings should, but did not include follow-up on RC complaints, resolutions and
result satisfaction.
In an interview on 1/14/19, Resident #21 said he/she told the DM a long time ago that
there was too much soup and not enough meats served. The issue had never been resolved.
Review of resident council meeting minutes dated 1/14/19, showed:

report and notify, promptly implement individualized abuse prevention care plans, complete
an incident report, obtain witness statements, conduct interviews, determine resident
psychological distress and determine investigation results. The facility census was 38.
1. Review of the facility undated Abuse Policy showed:

took nebulizer tubing and wrapped it around the resident’s neck. This resident woke up,
grabbed the tubing away from his/her neck, while cursing at the other resident. Nebulizer
tubing and machine placed in night stand drawer.
In an interview on 1/11/19 at 8:15 A.M., the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) said she
was unaware of the 1/6/19 nebulizer incident/altercation involving Resident #13. She did
not know who the resident was that wrapped tubing around Resident #13’s neck. At the time
of the incident, staff should have notified her and the administrator and started an
incident investigation.

nebulizer tubing around Resident #13’s neck.
– Review of LPN B’s 1/11/19 written statement, showed a certified nurse aide (CNA) called
him/her to the special Care Unit (SCU) reporting he/she heard Resident #13 cursing. The
CNA entered Resident #13’s room and found tubing loosely around the resident’s neck.
Resident #13’s hands were on the tubing pulling it. Another resident was in Resident #13’s
room walking away from the resident’s bedside. The CNA stated he/she heard a noise and the
resident’s nebulizer machine was on the floor. The CNA did not witness the incident.
During an interview on 1/11/19 at 3:00 P.M., LPN B said:
– CNA F called him/her to the SCU on 1/6/19 at 8:00 P.M. and reported that Resident #33
put nebulizer tubing around Resident #13’s neck. The CNA said he/she heard Resident #13
cursing and then the resident’s nebulizer machine fall to the floor. The CNA then went
into Resident #13’s room to find Resident #33 wandering around the room and nebulizer
tubing wrapped around Resident #13’s neck.
– He/she assessed Resident #13 and completed quick charting without knowing all the
incident details. He/she was to complete an incident report, but did not. If he/she
followed the Incident Report process and obtained written statements then the facts of the
incident would be known. He/she should have called the Administrator at the time of the
incident.
3. During an interview on 1/11/19 at 2:40 P.M., the IDON said:
– LPN B never reported the incident to her.
– At the time of the incident, LPN B did not follow the facility policy. LPN B should have
followed the policy by assessing the residents involved, notifying the Administrator and
IDON, starting an incident investigation and completing an incident report.
In an interview on 1/14/19 at 11:17 A.M., the Administrator said she found the nurse’s
notes regarding the incident and staff interviews conflicted. Due to LPN B not following
the facility incident policy, there was no way to know what happened in order to implement
appropriate interventions for resident care.

Record review of the faxes in the resident’s chart showed:
– No fax to a physician regarding the resident’s PU drainage since returning from the
hospital.
Observations showed:
– On 1/10/19, at 10:50 A.M., the resident sat in the Broda chair. The Broda chair had a
thin, approximately one-half inch, pad covering the straps that made up the back and seat
of the chair. The chair did not have the physician’s orders [REDACTED].
– On 1/10/19, at 12:15 P.M., the resident sat upright in the Broda chair at a dining room
table, with no pressure relieving cushion in the chair.
– On 1/10/19, at 1:30 P.M., the resident slept in the on his/her back in the slightly

but did not have the physician ordered pressure relieving cushion in the chair.
– On 1/10/19, at 3:34 P.M., the resident remained in the slightly reclined Broda chair in
his/her room, without the physician’s orders [REDACTED].
During an interview on 1/15/19, at 8:45 A.M., Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant
(COTA) A said:
– Therapy put the resident in a tilt in space wheelchair with the facility’s best cushion.
– Therapy staff were in the process of trying to get a ROHO cushion (an adjustable
pressure relief cushion with soft flexible air cells), but the resident went on hospice,
so he/she would not qualify for a specialty cushion.
During an interview on 1/10/19, at 3:34 P.M., RN A said he/she called Physician B about
the PU drainage and received orders for Bactrim (an antibiotic to treat the infection) and
to obtain a culture (a test to identify the type of bacteria) of the PU.
Observation and interview 1/11/19 at 9:50 A.M., provided the following information:

supervision to prevent accidents.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY**
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility staff failed to ensure
resident environment remained free of accident hazards, when they failed to follow
manufacturer’s guidelines during mechanical lift transfers for Resident #16. Additionally,
the facility failed to transfer residents in a safe manner, when staff did not use proper
techniques to reduce the possibility of accidents and injuries during the use of a gait
belt transfer for Resident #6 and #20. The facility also failed to ensure safe water
temperatures for residents, staff and visitors, when water temperatures in the facility
rose above 120 degrees Fahrenheit (F). The facility census was 38.
1. Review of the manufacturer’s guideline for the mechanical lift showed:
– Invacare does not recommend locking the rear casters of the patient lift when lifting an
individual.
– Doing so could cause the lift to tip and endanger the patient and assistants.
– Invacare DOES recommend that the rear castors be left unlocked during lifting procedures
to allow the lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially being lifted from a
stationary object.
– The legs of the lift must be in the maximum open position for optimum stability and
safety.
– If it is necessary to close the legs of the lift to maneuver the lift under the bed,
close the legs of the lift only as long as it takes to position the lift. Once the legs of
the lift are no longer under the bed, return the legs of the lift to the maximum open
position.
Review of the facility’s policy for Invacare Reliant Hoyer Lift, revised 9/23/16, showed:
– Lifting Procedure: Spread the wheel base of the lift.
– Warning: Invacare owner’s manual does NOT recommend locking the rear castors of the lift
when lifting an individual. Doing so could cause the lift to tip and endanger the patient
and assistants.
– Invacare does recommend that the rear casters be left unlocked during lifting procedures
to allow the lift to stabilize itself.
Review of Resident #16’s Minimum Data Set (MDS), a federally mandated assessment
instrument completed by facility staff, dated 10/19/18, showed:
– Both short and long term memory problems;
– Dependent on staff for transfers.
Review of the resident’s undated care plan, showed two staff should transfer the resident
with a mechanical lift.
Observation and interview on 1/9/19 at 8:41 A.M., showed the resident seated in a
wheelchair in his/her room. Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) B and CNA C transferred the
resident onto the shower chair.
– CNA C spread the legs of the lift around the resident’s wheel chair and locked the back
castors;
– Staff attached the lift sling to the lift and CNA C raised the resident from the
wheelchair with the castors locked;
– CNA C unlocked the castors, pulled the lift away from the wheel chair, closed the legs

– The legs of the mechanical lift remained closed while CNA C raised the resident from the
bed, left the legs closed and pulled the mechanical lift from under the bed and turned the
lift towards the shower chair;
– CNA C lowered the resident onto the shower chair.
Observation on 1/9/19 at 9:40 A.M., showed CNA B and CNA C used the mechanical lift to
transfer the resident from his/her shower chair back to bed.
– CNA B opened the lift around the shower chair, locked the castors and attached the loops
of the sling to the mechanical lift;
– CNA B raised the mechanical lift and the resident from the shower chair, unlocked the
castors and backed the lift away from the shower chair, closed the legs of the lift and
pushed the lift over to the resident’s bed;
– CNA B locked the castors and lowered the resident on to bed.
During an interview on 1/9/19 at 10:45 A.M., CNA C said he/she should close the legs of
the lift when moving the resident and open the legs to position around the wheelchair.
He/she did not know if the castors should be locked at any time.
During an interview on 1/9/19 at 11:10 A.M., CNA B said he/she locked the castors, so the
lift would not tip. The legs of the lift should be closed when moving the resident.
2. Review of the facility’s, undated, policy for Gait Belt Use showed:
– Assist the resident at the waist rather than pulling his/her arms or shoulders;
– Make sure the gait belt is never next to bare skin.
Review of Resident #20’s MDS dated [DATE], showed:
– Some difficulty making decisions;
– Required extensive assist with transfers.
Observation on 1/10/19 at 1:28 P.M., showed CNA D transferred the resident from his/her
wheelchair to his/her low bed in the following way:
– Loosely placed a gait belt around the resident’s waist;
– Placed a forearm on each side of the resident under the resident’s arms and grabbed the
gait belt;
– As the CNA lifted, turned and lowered the resident from the wheelchair to the low bed,
the gait belt and resident’s shirt raised at least eight inches around the resident’s
abdomen, back and sides, The CNA’s forearms raised under the resident’s armpits and raised
the resident’s shoulders;
– The resident did not assist with the pivot transfer.
During an interview on 1/10/19 at 2:01 P.M., CNA D said:
– He/she put the gait belt on the resident around the waist and loose enough he/she could
place both hands under the gait belt;
– When the gait belt rose, he/she should stop, reposition and tighten the gait belt;
– The resident did not help with the transfer, because he/she was paralyzed on the left
side.
During an interview on 1/14/19 at 12:53 P.M., the Interim Director of Nurses (IDON) said:
– She expected staff to place the gait belt snugly around the resident’s waist, tight
enough it would not slide up on the resident;
– If the gait belt slid up, staff should stop, reposition the gait belt and tighten it
more;
– Staff should never place their arms under the resident’s arms and should not place the
gait belt on bare skin.

Review of Resident #6’s MDS, dated [DATE], showed:
– Able to make daily decisions:
– Dependent on staff for transfers.
Observation and interview on 1/11/19 at 9:58 A.M., showed CNA B and CNA D assisted the
resident to transfer from his/her bed to a wheelchair. CNA B said staff used a pivot disc
with the resident, because the resident’s left foot did not work. Both staff assisted the
resident to sit up on the side of the bed, the resident wore a hospital gown that was open
in the back. CNA B placed the gait belt on the resident and tightened it around the
resident’s waist. The gait belt laid against the resident’s bare back. Both staff placed
their forearms under the resident’s arms and grabbed the gait belt at the resident’s back.
When staff transferred the resident, both their forearms raised under the resident’s
armpits as the gait belt rose. CNA D said he/she should not have had the gait belt on the
resident’s bare skin.
During an interview on 1/14/19 at 12:53 P.M., the Interim Director of Nurses (IDON) said:
– She expected staff to place the gait belt snugly around the resident’s waist, tight

– Staff should never place their arms under the resident’s arms and should not place the
gait belt on bare skin.
4. Review of the facility’s Preventive Maintenance Checklist and Inspections showed staff
was to conduct weekly random room checks, per wing, for proper hot water temperatures. The
water temperatures should be between 105 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit (F) per regulations.
Observation on 1/8/19 at 4:30 P.M., showed resident room [ROOM NUMBER]’s hot water
temperature at 121.7 degrees F.
Observation, interview and record review on 1/8/19 at 5:30 P.M., showed:
– The Administrator checked water temperatures that showed, resident room [ROOM NUMBER]’s
water temperature were 123.4 F and the front entry women’s restroom water temperature was
122.5 F. She also found resident room [ROOM NUMBER]’s water temperature at 123.4 F.
– The Administrator checked the hot water heater and it showed the temperature set at
120.2 F.
– Review of the Facility Water Temperature Log, showed staff last checked facility water
temperatures on 12/7/18.
– The Administrator said water temperature checks should be conducted weekly. The former
Maintenance Supervisor (MS) was responsible to conduct water temperature checks. She
temporarily took on the MS responsibilities. She forgot to conduct weekly checks of water
temperatures. The temperature in resident rooms 214, 219 and the front women’s restroom
was too high and could potentially burn someone.

resident (Resident #20). The facility census was 38.
Review of the facility’s procedure from the 2001 Nurse Assistant in a Long Term Care
Facility for Steps for Giving Peri Care with Catheter, showed:
– Check the catheter and drainage bag for leaks, kinks, level of bag, color and character
of urine; ensure that it is securely attached to the bed;
– Separate all perineal folds and provide peri care;
– Clean around the insertion site of the catheter;
– With a clean cloth wash the catheter tubing from the insertion site outward at least
four inches. Do not pull the catheter tubing.
1. Review of Resident #20’s medical record showed a laboratory report dated 8/27/18, that
showed many bacteria consistent with a urinary tract infection [MEDICAL CONDITION].
Review of the resident’s Minimum Data Set (MDS), a federally mandated assessment
instrument completed by facility staff, dated 11/9/18, showed:
– Some difficulty with decision making skills;
– Required extensive assist with toilet use and personal hygiene;
– Suprapubic catheter (type of urinary catheter that empties the bladder through an
incision in the abdomen instead of a tube inserted in the urethra);
– Occasionally incontinent of urine and frequently incontinent of bowel.
Review of the resident’s undated care plan, showed:
– The resident needed two staff to assist with toilet use;
– The resident could be incontinent of the bladder even though he/she had a catheter;
– The resident needed catheter care done every shift;
– The resident takes medication for bladder spasms, but can still urinate through the
urethra;
– Assess for signs and symptoms of a UTI.
Observation and interview on 1/8/19 at 9:54 A.M., showed the resident sat in a wheelchair
in his/her room and watched television. The catheter tubing, with yellow brownish colored
urine, lay on the floor under the wheelchair. The resident said he/she had frequent UTIs
and bladder spasms. His/her physician recently injected [MEDICATION NAME] to help with the
urine leaking from the urethra, but he/she did not know if it worked, because he/she still
had a lot of bladder spasms. Night shift staff often forgot to empty his/her urinary
drainage bag.
Observation on 1/8/19 at 12:20 P.M., showed the resident in the main assist dining room in
his/her wheelchair. Both the dignity bag that contained the urinary drainage bag and the
drainage tubing lay on the floor.
Observation on 1/10/19 at 8:51 A.M., showed the resident in the main assist dining room in
his/her wheelchair. Both the dignity bag that contained the urinary drainage bag and the
drainage tubing lay on the floor.
Observation on 1/10/19 at 1:28 P.M., showed Certified Nurse Aides (CNA) A and D
transferred the resident from his/her wheelchair to bed and to provide catheter care.
While the resident sat in his/her wheelchair, CNA D hung the urinary drainage bag on
his/her waist pocket which was as high as the resident’s chest, then transferred the
resident into a low bed. CNA A told CNA D he/she needed to keep the drainage bag below the
resident’s bladder. CNA D used an alcohol wipe and cleaned the resident’s abdominal
insertion site around the tubing. With the same alcohol wipe, CNA D wiped down the
catheter tubing. The resident did not wear a leg strap to help secure the catheter tubing
in place.
During an interview on 1/10/19 at 2:00 P.M., CNA D said:

– The resident should have had a STAT lock or leg strap to secure the tubing, so it did
not get pulled;
– He/she should clean around the site in the resident’s belly, then wipe down the catheter
tubing;
– He/she should use an alcohol wipe to clean around the insertion site and down the
catheter tubing. He/she should not have used the same alcohol wipe for both areas.

hallway outside his/her room. The catheter tubing and the dignity bag that contained the
urinary drainage bag dragged on the floor. The resident propelled down the hallway towards
the assist dining room. Nursing staff were in the hallway as the resident wheeled by them.

During an interview on 1/14/19 at 12:53 P.M., the interim Director of Nursing said:
– All residents with a catheter, even a suprapubic catheter, should wear a leg strap;
– Neither the catheter tubing, urinary drainage bag nor the dignity bag should ever touch
the floor;
– Staff should use a clean wipe or clean washcloth to clean the insertion site and another
clean wipe or cloth to wipe down the tubing;
– Staff should maintain the drainage bag below the resident’s bladder.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the
nursing staff had access to the facility’s anticoagulant (medication that makes it harder
for blood clots to form) policy and failed to ensure staff followed up with one resident’s
(Residents #19) physician in the absence of laboratory orders to monitor the effect of the
resident’s anticoagulation medication. The physician failed to order routine [MEDICATION
NAME] time (PT, a blood test to measure how long it takes blood to clot) and international
normalized ratio (INR, a standardized measure of the clotting ability of blood, used to
monitor the risk of bleeding when taking anticoagulation medication) tests for the
resident. Staff continued to administer the anticoagulant medication in the absence of
orders to monitor the effect of the medication. These failures placed the resident at risk
for significant adverse side effects including the risk of serious injury or death, such
as [MEDICAL CONDITION] or stroke and resulted in a PT flagged as high at 67.3 seconds and
an INR flagged as critically high at 6.2. The facility identified four residents on
anticoagulation medication that required routine orders for laboratory monitoring. The
facility census was 38.
1. Record review of the facility’s undated policy titled automatic stop orders showed:
– Anticoagulants – orders for an anticoagulant must also have an order for [REDACTED].
During an interview and observation on 1/14/19, at 8:50 A.M., the Administrator said:
– She could not find the anticoagulant policy in the nurses’ policy and procedure (P/P)
book.
– She opened a thick three ring binder she identified as the facility’s operating P/P
manual and turned to a policy titled automatic stop orders.
– She said the policy was not in the nurses’ P/P book.
– Whenever she found a nursing P/P in the operating manual, she made a photocopy for the

Review of Resident #19’s care plan, dated 7/19/18, showed:
– The resident was at risk for bleeding or bruising because of an anticoagulant medication
to treat his/her risk of blood clots.
– The goal was to be free from complications from unusual bleeding.
– Interventions – [MEDICATION NAME] to prevent blood clots, PT/INR labs as ordered, help
the resident avoid sudden bumps or jarring to prevent bruising, report new areas of
bruising to the charge nurse, immediately report to the charge nurse any bleeding from the
nose or gums, rust or amber colored urine, dark black, tarry stools, pale and clammy skin,
or any weakness. If the resident reported any rectal bleeding, notify the charge nurse
immediately.
Review of Physician A’s order report, dated 8/28/18 through 9/28/18, showed:
– The resident’s [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].
During an interview on 1/11/19, at 11:15 A.M., Physician A said:
– Initially, the resident was on an anticoagulant that did not require lab monitoring.
– When the resident’s insurance would not pay for that mediation, he/she switched the
resident to [MEDICATION NAME] (an anticoagulant that required routine laboratory
monitoring).
– Physician A said he/she did not pick- up on the fact that the resident did not have an
order for [REDACTED].>- Physician A said he/she just missed it, but expected that
probably the pharmacy consultant should have caught the fact that the resident did not
have a monthly PT/INR lab order.
– Physician A said the resident should have a monthly PT/INR lab order.
During an interview on 1/15/19, at 10:40 A.M., Registered Nurse (RN) A said:
– The facility switched from Pharmacy A to Pharmacy B in (MONTH) (YEAR).
During an interview on 1/14/19, at 9:20 A.M., Pharmacy B’s consulting pharmacist said:
– He/she did the facility’s medication consults every month, made medication
recommendations, and was a second or third set of eyes, but their pharmacy’s computer
system did not interact with the facility’s electronic medical records (EMR).
– Since, the pharmacy’s computer system did not have access to the facility’s EMR
physician’s orders [REDACTED].
– Usually, the current month’s POS were not on the chart when he/she did the review.
– Whenever he/she saw a [MEDICATION NAME] order, he/she checked for an INR. He/she checked
the most recent INR to see that it was in a reasonable range and if not, he/she checked to
see that staff notified the physician.
– Sometimes, lab results were not in the chart. If labs were not in the charts, then
he/she did not see them and did not know about them.
– He/she was not saying a resident might not fall through the cracks, but typically,
he/she checked for the INR.
– If a resident was on [MEDICATION NAME], he/she checked to ensure the resident was not on
aspirin or any blood thinner. If the resident was on [MEDICATION NAME] and aspirin or
[MEDICATION NAME] he/she made a recommendation to the physician about the aspirin or
[MEDICATION NAME].
Record review of faxes staff sent to Physician A, dated 10/10/18, and 10/11/18, showed:
– 10/10/18, the insurance would not pay for the resident’s current anticoagulant.
– 10/11/18, the resident wanted to stay on an anticoagulant and was aware he/she would be
back on [MEDICATION NAME] and have blood drawn for PT/INR.

-1/9/19 at 12:21 P.M., call received from Physician A with orders to draw PT/INR tomorrow
and monthly.
– 1/9/19 at 12:30 P.M., informed resident of orders.
During an interview on 1/11/19, at 3:35 P.M., RN A said about 5:00 P.M., last evening the
lab staff called with the resident’s critical lab value. He/she called Physician A, who
gave orders to hold the [MEDICATION NAME] from last night until Tuesday and then repeat
the PT/INR on Tuesday.
Record review of the resident’s laboratory test, dated 1/10/19, showed:
– PT flagged as high at 67.3 seconds with an INR flagged as a critical high at 6.2.
Review of RN A’s nurse’s notes, dated 1/9/18 and 1/10/19, showed:
– 1/10/19 at 4:00 P.M., received call from lab with critical values of PT 67.3 and INR of
6.2
– 1/10/19, at 4:10 P.M., called Physician A and received orders to hold [MEDICATION NAME]
until Tuesday and recheck PT/INR on Tuesday.
During an interview on 1/11/19, at 2:14 P.M., the resident said:
– A couple of days ago, he/she had a bloody nose. His/her nose just started bleeding, but
then stopped.
– The resident said when he/she coughed this morning there was blood in the tissue. He/she
had the nurse check and the nurse said it was blood.
During an interview on 1/11/19, at 3:23 P.M. RN A said:
-The resident coughed up some dark blood this morning, but not much, just like two or
three strands of blood.
– RN A said the blood was not bright red, it was dark blood.
– RN A told the resident that since his/her PT/INR was so high that his/her gums would
probably bleed if he/she brushed his/her teeth.
– He/she did not assess the resident, because it was just a small amount of blood.
During an interview on 1/11/19 at 2:30 P.M., the Administrator said:
– Physician A usually called staff in response to a fax.
– She expected staff to follow up with a physician, by the next day, if the physician did
not respond to a fax.
– She expected the nurses to review the POS monthly to ensure any resident on an
anticoagulant that required monitoring had routine lab orders.
Note: At the time of the survey, the violation was determined to be at the immediate and
serious jeopardy level J. Based on observation, record review, and interview completed
during the onsite visit, it was determined the facility had implemented corrective action
to address and lower the violation at this time. During the onsite visit, the facility
staff immediately began in-servicing all nurses, prior to the start of their shift, that
all residents with orders for [MEDICATION NAME]/[MEDICATION NAME] must have orders for a
routine PT/INR monitoring on their POS and in the lab draw computer system. On 1/14/19,
the DON added the PT/INR orders to the resident’s POS. The Administrator, DON, or designee
will train all newly hired nurses, during their initial orientation that all
anticoagulants requiring lab monitoring are to have an order for [REDACTED]. All new
admissions and re-admissions orders will be reviewed within 24 hours of admission to
ensure the POS reflected the order for lab monitoring. The DON created an anticoagulation
therapy tracking log. The DON, Administrator, or designee will monitor all residents on
anticoagulants requiring lab monitoring weekly with the anticoagulation therapy log for 90
days to ensure that the appropriate labs orders are on the POS and are being followed.
After those 90 days, the DON, Administrator, or designee will monitor anticoagulants
monthly to ensure that appropriate labs are put on the POS and are being followed. All

Post nurse staffing information every day.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to post the nurse
staffing data in a prominent place readily accessible to residents and visitors on a daily
basis at the beginning of each shift. The facility census was 38.
1. Observations on all days of the survey, 1/8/19, 1/9/19, 1/10/19, 1/11/19 and 1/14/18,
showed incomplete nurse staffing data forms posted on a door behind the nurse’s station on
the 200 hall which was not easily accessible to all residents and visitors. Each day staff
did not completely fill out the form, in some cases leaving entire sections blank. There
was no nurse staffing data form posted on the Special Care Unit or on the 100 hall in the
front of the building.
Observation and interview on 1/14/19 at 1:47 P.M., showed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A
retrieved a clipboard from a door behind the nurse’s station. Review of the form showed
staff had only documented the date as 1/14/19 and a census number of 38. He/she said there
was only one staffing sheet for the entire building and it was posted on the door behind
the 200 hall nurse’s station.
During an interview on 1/14/19 at 2:10 P.M., the Interim Director of Nursing said she
expected the nursing staff to entirely complete the Daily Staffing Form on each shift. She
did not realize the forms needed to be posted and easily accessible for all residents in
the facility.

During an interview on 1/9/19 at 9:46 A.M., the resident’s family members (FM) B and FM C
said staff do not interact with the resident. They leave him/her in bed all the time and
do not try to engage him in anything. It is hard for him/her to participate if staff do
not engage or encourage him/her to get involved. There is no quality of life for the
resident due to lack of staff attention. The resident spends his/her days in bed and eats
at bedside. Staff never turn the television on for the resident or visit with him/her. The
resident needed activities for stimulation. The family provided a CD music player with
country music CD’s in the resident’s room. The family has never observed staff set up the
CD player for the resident to hear the music. The resident’s life consisted of him/her
eating, staring at the wall and no one interacting with him/her.
Observations of the resident on 1/9/19, showed:
– At 10:48 A.M., the resident was lay in bed.
– At 5:25 P.M. the resident lay in bed.

In an interview on 1/10/19 at 1:53 P.M.:
– Certified Med Tech (CMT) C said during the day shift the resident remained in bed the
majority of the time. The resident got up a couple times a day for about four minutes to
wonder up the corridor, to get a sandwich and look for his/her spouse. Staff assisted the
resident up and down the corridor. The resident’s favorite activity was to eat and sleep.
– CNA L said the resident roams, but due to the resident’s poor vision and being hard of
hearing he/she is not able to see or hear what is showing on the television. Staff are not
able to visit with the resident one on one in his/her room due to the care needs of the
other residents on the SCU.
During an interview on 1/10/19 at 2:30 P.M., CNA F said four months ago, he/she began
working on the SCU during the facility evening shift. The resident normally only got up
and walked 10 to 15 minutes during the eight-hour shift. Staff assisted the resident to
toilet, to get a snack and to set up his/her food tray at bedside for supper. The resident
did not like group activities. The resident did not see well enough to do puzzles. The
resident enjoyed visiting, but staff were not always able to offer the resident activities
due to other resident behaviors. He/she thought the resident needed more activities that

life.
In an interview on 1/10/19 at 2:58 P.M., CNA H said the resident refuses to come to the
SCU common area for supper stating he/she does not know anybody and he/she misses his/her

activities are provided to the resident during the night shift. The resident just stayed
in his room, drank soda and ate snacks. The resident rarely walked the corridor but did
sometimes just to have something to do. The resident stayed to him/herself.
In an interview on 1/11/19 at 9:20 A.M., Social Services (SS) said Resident #13 was just
existing on the unit. The resident had no quality of life. The resident preferred to stay
in his/her room. Staff were not able to provide one on one activity for the resident as
they had to meet other resident care needs.
2. Review of the facility SCU activity calendar showed on 1/9/19 at 10:00 A.M., Sit
Dancing was scheduled.
Observation on 1/9/19 at 10:00 A.M. showed staff did not offer SCU residents Sit Dancing.
3. In an interview on 1/10/19 at 1:53 P.M., CMT C and CNA L said there were not many
activities on the SCU. They offer residents coloring, but the residents do not like it.
They did not have activities specifically for men. They painted female residents nails.
Two weeks ago, they complained to the AD and the SS that they did not have enough
materials or creative activities to provide the SCU residents. The SCU was only staffed
with a CNA and CMT who stayed on the unit. The CMT tried to assist the CNA with
activities, but the SCU was hectic due to some residents who are aggressive, while others
are wandering with other residents being a potential fall risk. With all the residents
having different needs at the same time, they were not able to keep the residents
occupied. They did not have the correct activities and activity materials to keep the
residents engaged and occupied. The AD told them funding for activities was limited.
In an interview on 1/11/19 at 5:00 A.M., CNA M said he/she normally worked the SCU night
shift. No activities were provided on the SCU during the night shift. He/she attempted to
come up with stuff to occupy residents who are up in the common area during the shift.
He/she was unaware of activity care plans for the SCU residents and had not used them.
In an interview on 1/11/19 at 9:20 A.M., the SS said for the last couple of months she was
aware that SCU activities are not stimulating enough for the residents. Staff are
concerned about the activity needs of the residents. SCU activity schedule was separate
from the rest of the facility. The SCU is assigned two staff. In order for the two staff
to manage resident care needs, they are not able to provide the residents with stimulating
activities. More needed to be done to keep the residents on the unit occupied with
appropriate activities. The facility needed more activity resources. The staff needed
training on providing activities for the needs of residents with dementia diagnoses. The
AD was kept busy with other facility services and not able to provide the SCU activities.
In an interview on 1/11/19 at 12:00 P.M., the AD said she had many responsibilities in
providing facility services. She was not able to spend much time on the SCU for
activities. The two staff assigned on the unit were to provide the activities, but were
kept too busy with the care needs of the residents preventing them from providing
activities. The SCU should have staff assigned to specifically provide for the activity
needs of the residents.
In an interview on 1/11/19 at 12:10 P.M. and 1/14/19 at 2:25 P.M., the administrator
said:
– If staff say they are not able to provide activities for the SCU residents, then the
facility system should be changed to ensure staff provided quality activities for the
residents.
– If the facility improved on providing SCU residents with activities that kept residents
interested it could correlate in less resident behavior problems that are due to resident
boredom.

Resident #7 ate two eggs cooked over-easy daily. The DM then covered the eggs with foil
and sat them on top of the oven. The DM said sometimes she cooked over-easy eggs for
Resident #21. She was unaware if the eggs were pasteurized or not.
In an interview on 1/10/19 at 8:00 A.M., the Administrator said she would check egg
invoices to see what type of eggs staff used in the kitchen.
During interview and record review on 1/10/19 at 11:09 A.M. and 3:30 P.M. and 1/11/19 at
10:44 A.M., the administrator showed the facility food order invoice had large Grade A
eggs. The Administrator said the eggs were not pasteurized. Over the last six months, the
DM was in charge of the kitchen. Since this morning’s breakfast, she found that the DM did
not know she was not to serve residents non-pasteurized eggs. The DM told the
administrator, she served residents soft eggs, fried eggs and egg sandwiches daily. The
Administrator instructed the DM she was only allowed to serve residents pasteurized eggs.
The facility did not have a policy on the use of non-pasteurized eggs. She expected
kitchen staff to serve only eggs that are pasteurized to residents for resident safety.
Non-pasteurized eggs had the potential to cause Salmonella poisoning.
3. Observation and interview 1/08/19 at 9:11 A.M., of the kitchen walk in refrigerator
showed:
– A container marked chicken casserole dated 12/26.
– A substance wrapped in undated foil marked ham slices positioned above dishes of
strawberry shortcake and apple sauce, that dripped with liquid when lifted. – An undated
container of what the DM said appeared to be spinach.
– Uncovered cheese slices.
– A plastic bag of undated hot dogs.
– Three unlabeled squeeze bottles appearing to contain salad dressing.
– Two undated squeeze bottles of barbeque sauce.
– Two undated loosely covered pies, with one of the pies partially eaten.
– Undated coleslaw.
– The DM said staff were to store meat/meat products on trays to prevent cross
contamination of other foods. Staff were to store foods that were not in the original
packaging in a labeled, dated, sealed plastic bag. Staff was to discard all food that was
unsealed from original packaging after three days. Staff should have labeled the opened
coleslaw to show the third day after they opened it. When staff put the sauces and
dressings in the squeeze bottles they should have labeled the bottles showing contents and
discard date.
Observation on 1/08/19 at 11:03 A.M., showed an undated squeeze bottle of barbeque sauce
in the special care unit refrigerator.
4. Observations on 1/10/19 at 8:37 A.M., showed the DM:
– Placed uncovered bread directly on the counter top to prepare toast.
– Used gloved hands to pick up bacon, toast, biscuits, ladles, push food carts in the
kitchen and out into the dining room without washing her hands between touching food
products, ladles and carts.
In an interview on 1/10/19 at 9:17 A.M., the DM said for kitchen sanitation;
– All kitchen staff were to wash their hands between food contact, between tasks, when
they touched something and when they leave the kitchen.
– During today’s breakfast preparation, she should have used utensils instead of her hands
to pick up food. She should have used a cutting board instead of the counter surface to
make toast. She should have washed her hands before leaving the kitchen.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY**
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide care in
a manner to prevent infection or the possibility of infection, when staff failed to
administer the Two-Step [MEDICATION NAME] (TB) test appropriately, read, and document the
results of the test in a timely manner for two residents (Residents #22 and #13). The
facility census was 38.
The facility did not provide a Two-Step TB testing policy for residents.
1. Review of Resident #13’s Minimum Data Set (MDS), a federally mandated assessment
records, showed:
– Admission MDS dated [DATE];
– Discharge Tracking Record dated 1/13/17;
– A second Admission MDS dated [DATE] with an admission date of [DATE].
Review of the facility’s Two Step TB test tracking system showed:
– Step one administered 4/4 (no year documented);
– Staff indicated they read the test on 4/6 and added the word neg, no year and no
induration, (a palpable, raised, hardened area or swelling, in millimeters) documented;
– Step two administered 4/20 (no year indicated);
– Staff indicated they read the test on 4/22 and added the word neg, no year and no
induration in millimeters documented.
2. Review of Resident #22’s Two Step TB tracking system showed:
– Staff documented administering the TB test on 11/8/18;
– Staff did not document when results were read.
During an interview on 1/14/19 at 12:53 P.M., the Interim Director of Nurses (IDON) said:
– She had only stepped into the IDON position a couple weeks earlier;
– The first step of the TB test should be administered upon initial admission and the
second step 14 days later, after that an annual test should be administered or an
assessment completed;
– Staff should read and record results within 72 hours;
– Results should be documented accurately with millimeters of induration to show a
negative test result.
