in a chair soiled with urine, having one resident’s clothing marked with his/her name and
visible to any one who passed by, and not providing a table and chair during meals for
residents who dined on the unit. This affected one of 19 sampled residents and seven

-Rarely understood or able to make needs known;
-Received nutrition by tube feeding (hollow tube placed into the stomach, provides liquid
nutrition);
-Always incontinent of bowel and bladder;
-[DIAGNOSES REDACTED].
Review of the undated resident’s care plan, showed:
-Focus: Unable to care for him/herself and required total staff assistance with activity
of daily living (ADL’s, ability to perform daily self care tasks);
-Goal: His/her needs will be met;
-Interventions: One staff needed for hygiene and oral care.

dressed. CNA E removed the urine saturated blanket from the seat of the G/C and placed a
clean blanket onto the G/C seat. He/she transferred the resident and placed him/her back
into the G/C. CNA E did not clean the G/C seat before he/she placed the resident back into
his/her G/C. CNA E said he/she did not think to wipe off the G/C seat, the blanket had
been urine saturated when he/she had removed it from the resident’s chair. The seat should
have been wiped off with a wet wipe or soapy wash cloth.

Review of the facility’s physical restraint management policy, revised on 9/2017, showed:
-Guidelines:
-An order has been obtained that includes type of restraint, when to use the restraint
and periodic release of the restraint;
-When the resident’s condition necessitates consideration for a restraint, alternative
interventions should be attempted and fully documented in the nurse notes and the care
plan;
-The resident and/or family member or legal representative will be included in the
decision process and will be informed of how use of the restraint will treat the
resident’s medical condition and promote highest practicable physical and psychosocial
well-being, the benefits and possible negative outcomes of the restraint use and any
alternatives to the restraint;
-During the time the restraint is in place, the restraint is periodically removed and the
resident is assisted with change in position, range of motion and/or stretching;
-Restraints will be assessed on a quarterly basis for appropriateness and attempts for
reductions of the restraint.
Review of Resident #4’s physical restraint assessment, completed on 9/28/18, showed:
-Reason for use of the physical restraint: unsteady gait, agitated behavior, interference
with specific medical treatments, frequent falls, sliding out of wheelchair, attempts to
self transfer and climbs out of bed, one on one certified nurse aide (CNA) observation
uses helmet. The resident had an extremely unsteady gait, and lacked the ability to
maintain proper posture and positioning, he/she is a risk to himself/herself and unable to
be redirected in unsafe situations;
-History: no entry to address what had worked in the past to control/limit behaviors/issue
to prompt the need for the restraint;
-Alternatives used to reduce the risk of harm prior to the use of the restraint: recliner,
family companion, one on one activities, directed ambulation, mattress on the floor,
alternate seating, regular toileting, anticipate hunger, pain, heat and cold, acceptance
of risk, normal schedule/routine, medication review, one to one CNA supervision, helmet
use. The resident lacked the ability to understand and follow simple commands. He/she
continues to be a risk for himself/herself despite alternate interventions;
-Decision to restrain: The resident poses a risk to him/herself if additional
interventions are not put into place to ensure safety. A geri-chair (G/C, reclining,
padded chair) with a lap table (hard plastic table that locks into place in the arms of a
chair) had been encouraged by the family. The family is aware of the benefits and risks of
a G/C with a lap table. The decision to use the geri-chair and lap table had been
determined by the interdisciplinary team with the resident’s physician to ensure the
continued safety of the resident;
-Family notified by phone of decision on 9/18/18;
-Order received from the resident’s physician to clarify restraint parameters and
timeframe’s of appropriate ambulation on 9/28/18;
-No family signed consent for restraint use to include potential risks and benefits.
Review of the resident’s (MONTH) (YEAR) treatment administration record (TAR), dated
11/1/18 through 11/30/18, showed:
-An order dated, 10/24/18 to reposition the resident every two hours and may use a G/C
with a lap tray at all times. Staff initialed every 7:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M., 3:00 to 11:00
P.M. and 11:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M., shift daily as completed;

his/her G/C in his/her room and occasionally yelled out loudly go school. No staff entered
his/her room when he/she yelled out. The table tray in place and secured into the arms of
the G/C. He/she wore the blue plastic helmet.
During an interview on 2/5/19 at 10:03 A.M., CNA E said the night shift staff get the
resident up daily around 5:00 A.M., and put the table tray into place on the G/C. The
resident had a fall history and liked to try to get up out of his/her G/C without
assistance and would try to walk. The tray kept him/her in the G/C. He/she thinks the tray
is to be removed every couple hours but is not sure, the resident can not reposition
him/herself. The aides do not document when the table tray is removed.
Observation on 2/6/19 at 6:41 A.M. through 8:58 A.M., showed the resident sat in his/her
G/C in his/her bedroom with the blue plastic helmet on and the table tray in place and
occasionally yelled out go school or banged on the top of the tray. Staff did not enter
the room and check on the resident as he/she yelled out or banged on the tray. Staff did
not remove the tray and did not provide repositioning.
During an interview on 2/05/19 at 12:56 P.M., nurse K said the table tray is used because
the resident is a fall risk and had fallen a few times. Staff are supposed to release the
tray every two hours and then he/she should have his/her helmet on when the tray is off.
The helmet should not be worn if the table tray is used. The two should not be used at the
same time. The restorative aide will ambulate the resident at times, but the restorative
aide is not able to walk the resident daily. He/she did not know of any restraint
assessment that needed to be completed or if one had been completed. The resident’s POS
had orders for the table tray and the G/C. The nurses document in the residents TAR the
removal of the table tray every two hours. He/she verified the resident’s (MONTH) TAR did
not have an order to release the table tray and provide repositioning.
During an interview on 2/06/19 at 7:42 A.M., nurses K and G said they had not completed a
restraint assessment for the lap tray and do not know where to locate the restraint
assessment to complete it. They said the nursing management probably completed the
assessment but they do not know where it is or what the assessment showed. Staff are to
release the tray every two hours and document the table tray release on the resident’s
TAR. Both nurses verified no entry or orders for the release of the tray on the (MONTH)
TAR.
During an interview on 2/6/19 at 7:58 A.M., the administrator said the resident’s charge
nurses complete restraint assessments on him/her quarterly and the assessments should be
in the hard chart and then scanned into the electronic record. Staff should document in
the monthly TAR the removal of the tray every two hours.
Further review of the resident’s medical record on 2/6/19 at 8:29 A.M., showed no
restraint assessment completed after 9/28/18. No orders or documentation to release the
table tray every two hours.
During an interview 2/6/19 at 8:51 A.M., the Director of Nursing said the nurses should
have completed a restraint assessment for December. The restraint form is in the
electronic system and is done quarterly. The staff also should be removing the tray every
two hours and documenting on the TAR that it is being done, provide repositioning and also
offer to walk the resident. The resident could be brought into the hallway for
socialization and monitoring.

clean brief and said they always put an extra thick liner in his/her brief, all of the
shifts do, he/she is a heavy wetter. CNA E said he/she had not changed the resident until
this time. He/she will need to tell the nurse about the open area to the buttock. The
CNA’s do not document open areas, aides tell the nurses and the nurses handle the rest of
it;
-Neither CNA’s notified the resident’s nurse to observe the open area prior to completing
care and applying and securing the double brief on to the resident.
During an interview on 2/5/19 at 1:15 P.M., nurse K said that the the resident does not
have any open areas. He/she had not been notified of any skin issues. The resident had a
history of [REDACTED]. When the aides discovered an open area they are to notify the
resident’s nurse immediately so the wound can be assessed and measured. Aides should not
apply ointments or apply briefs until the nurse can assess the wound site. The nurse would
apply the standing wound order to the wound and document in the resident’s record.
Observation on 2/5/19 at 1:23 P.M. through 2:39 P.M., showed the resident up in his/her
room in the G/C. No staff entered the resident’s room to provide or offer care. The charge
nurse did not provide the skin assessment.

showed:
-No care plan updates regarding skin changes or skin care interventions discovered on
2/5/19;
-No nurse notes, wound assessments, no new wound care orders or documentation following
the wound discovered on 2/5/19.
Observation on 2/6/19 from 6:34 A.M. through 7:25 A.M., showed the resident remained in
the G/C in his/her room. The bedroom door opened to the hallway. The lap tray in place
attached to the G/C. The resident yelled out occasionally go school. Multiple staff walked
past his/her room. At 7:31 A.M., the surveyor notified CNA E that he/she wanted to observe

in his/her G/C. Nurse G said the night shift gets the resident up daily around 4:30 A.M.
to 5:00 A.M. The resident is always incontinent of bowel and bladder and should be changed
and repositioned every two hours. If aides notice a change in skin they should immediately

place. CNA E said he/she had notified nurse K on 2/5/19 in the afternoon of the discovered
open area after the resident’s care had been completed. He/she did not provide
incontinence care again before he/she left work on 2/5/19. He/she agreed that on 2/5/19
the resident had one open area and the wound had not been bleeding at that time, a new
second wound had developed and both of the wounds were actively bleeding at the time of
the observation. CNA C exited the room and notified nurse K of the bleeding wounds. CNA E
cleaned the blood off of both wounds and applied pressure to the wounds. Nurse K entered
the resident’s room and measured the two open and bleeding wounds. The upper right wound
measured 1.5 cm x 1.0 cm x 1.0 cm and second wound measured 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm. Nurse K told
the CNAs to leave the areas uncovered and he/she would gather supplies and apply a
treatment to both of the open, bleeding wounds.
During an interview on 2/06/19 at 9:15 A.M., nurse K said CNA E had told him/her on 2/5/19
in the late afternoon that CNA E had discovered the single open area to the resident’s
right upper buttock fold. Nurse K did not document or assess the wound at the time the
aides had already applied the resident’s brief and gotten him/her dressed and placed back
into his/her G/C. He/she called the resident’s physician and received an order to apply
[MEDICATION NAME] (skin barrier) to the area. He/she did not put the [MEDICATION NAME]
order on to the current (MONTH) POS or the resident’s current (MONTH) TAR. He/she could
not recall if he/she notified the change in the resident’s skin condition to the oncoming
shift on 2/5/19. It appeared the resident had developed a secondary open wound below the
first wound discovered on 2/5/19. Both of the wounds had been actively bleeding when
he/she assessed them on 2/6/19. The wounds would need a treatment since the areas are
bleeding and two wounds are now present. The nurses use a standing wound care order and
he/she will put that in place until the resident’s physician can be reached and the order
verified. The resident had a history of [REDACTED]. The resident is always incontinent of
bowel and bladder and should be toileted at least every two hours, double briefing should
not be used. Night shift gets the resident up daily between 4:30 A.M. and 5:00 A.M. He/she
would have to make a late entry note regarding the wound discovered on 2/5/19 and write
the [MEDICATION NAME] order on to the (MONTH) POS and TAR.
During an interview on 2/6/19 at 9:21 A.M., the administrator said that when the CNAs
notice a change in skin, they should immediately get the charge nurse so he/she could
perform a skin assessment and place a treatment on the wound if needed, get physician
orders [REDACTED]. Aides should be checking and changing incontinent residents every two
hours. Residents that have frequent incontinence episodes and a history of skin wounds
should be checked on more frequently than every two hours. Residents should not be double
briefed.
Further review of the resident’s progress notes on 2/6/19 at 10:30 A.M., showed:
-Late entry: on 2/5/19 at 2:57 P.M., The CNA reported skin breakdown after providing care.
Physician notified and order obtained from [MEDICATION NAME].
During an interview 2/6/19 at 11:24 A.M., nurse K said he/she followed the facility’s
standing wound care order for stage II pressure ulcer (partial-thickness skin loss) and
placed the standing order of medi-honey and to covered the areas with a dry dressing onto
both of the open wounds. He/she had not documented the assessment, measurements or
notified the resident’s physician to confirm standing order treatment or let the physician
know of the original wound from 2/5/19 or that the resident had developed a secondary open
wound within 24 hours.
During an interview on 02/06/19 on 12:30 P.M., the resident’s attending nurse practitioner
(NP) said that the resident is totally dependent on staff to meet all of his/her needs.
He/she is not able to make he/she needs or wants clearly known and care or needs are

anticipated by the staff. He/she is incontinent of bowel and urine and had a history of
[REDACTED]. Neither he/she or the resident’s physician had been notified of any changes in
the residents skin since 2/5/19 until present. The facility had standing orders for wounds
and skin issues that maybe applied until the physician or himself/herself can be reached
to verify the standing wound orders. He/she and the physician expected the nurse to verify
the standing wound care orders for wound treatments once an issue with the resident’s skin
is determined. The staff should have called him/her or the physician when the original
wound had been discovered on 2/5/19 and then called on 2/6/19 with the discovery of the
second open area and notified of the bleeding. Staff should be providing peri-care and
cleansing every two hours for incontinent residents and more frequently if the skin is
impaired, the resident should probably be lied down in between meals until the wound
heals. Double briefing is not acceptable, the practice exposes the skin to large amounts
of fluid and applies more pressure with the larger amount of brief padding.
Further review of the resident’s medical record and care plan on 2/6/19 at 1:15 P.M.,
showed no contact to the resident’s physician or NP, no wound care orders, no wound
treatments entered onto the resident’s POS or TAR and no nurse note regarding measurements
or wound assessment from 2/6/19 at 8:58 A.M. No updates noted to the resident’s care plan
regarding development of buttock wounds.
During an interview on 2/06/19 on 1:33 P.M., the Assistant Director of Nursing said if the
charge nurse was notified on 2/5/19 of the first wound, then he/she should have called the
physician and obtained an order, documented his/her assessment and updated the care plan.
The resident has a history of pressure ulcers and MASD. The most recent documented buttock
wound had been healed in 12/2018. There were no new orders on the POS or the TAR for skin
treatments as of the time of the interview. The ADON had called the resident’s physician
the afternoon of 2/6/19 after nurse K measured the areas and the resident’s physician gave
an order to administer [MEDICATION NAME]. The facility requested the NP to provide a skin
assessment on 2/6/19. Staff should change incontinent residents at least every two hours
especially if there is history of skin issues and double briefing should not occur. There
should have been a note from the skin measurements from the morning of 2/6/19, however the
ADON requested nurse K not enter the measurements since each nurse preformed wound
measurements differently and the ADON would enter his/her wound findings instead of nurse
K after the resident is seen by the NP later in the day.
Further review of the resident’s progress notes on 2/6/19 at 1:38 P.M., showed:
-On 2/6/19 at 11:00 A.M., two areas of breakdown to right back upper thigh. The upper
wound measured 1.5 cm x 1.0 cm x 0.1 cm. The second lower wound measured 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm x
0.0. The measurements reported to the supervisor. Will continue to monitor;
-On 2/6/19 at 1:04 P.M., the nurse notified the resident’s legal guardian of the wounds;
-On 2/6/19 at 2:50 P.M., the resident’s NP evaluated skin and diagnoses of MASD given. NP
ordered [MEDICATION NAME] and a G/C seat cushion. Treatment administered this shift, and
the resident turned and repositioned every hour.
Further review of the resident’s (MONTH) 2019 POS, dated 2/1/19 through 2/28/19, showed:
-Late entry: 2/5/19 to apply [MEDICATION NAME] to area of skin breakdown on the right
upper thigh. Apply every shift and PRN after each incontinence episode;
-An order dated 2/6/19 to clean areas to the right buttock with wound cleanser, apply
medi-honey, cover with foam dressing, change daily and PRN. The order stuck out and noted
as discontinued on 2/6/19;
-An order dated 2/6/19 to apply [MEDICATION NAME] to wound #2 on the right buttocks for
MASD. Apply each shift and PRN.

completed by the resident’s NP. The resident had been seen today related to skin breakdown
to right lower buttocks. The area is shallow and superficial. The resident is incontinent,
noncompliant and resistive to care and this placed him/her at high risk for skin breakdown
and further injury. The wounds are reoccurring due to moisture and incontinent MASD and
fragile skin. Continue with current treatment of [REDACTED]. Staff to apply seat cushion
to prevent further breakdown. Therapy evaluation requested for assessment.
Further review of the resident’s care plan, showed an undated entry:
-Focus: The resident has a diagnoses of MASD and has an actual impairment related to
incontinence and impaired mobility. On 2/5/19 he/she had an open area to the right buttock
and right upper thigh;
-Goal: He/she will have no complications due to the open areas to the right buttock;
-Interventions: Avoid scratching and keep the resident’s hands clean, keep excessive
moisture away from the area, educate the family and caregivers of the factors and measures
to prevent skin injury, encourage good nutrition, follow facility policy and protocols for
the treatment of [REDACTED]. The resident has been given a pressure relief cushion in
his/her G/C to facilitate prevention of alteration in skin integrity.

During an interview on 2/7/19 at 9:36 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) said three
residents had fluid restrictions, provided the three resident names, but did not include
Resident #79. She expected staff to document fluid intakes for any residents ordered a FR.
Some residents are noncompliant. She had asked the physician’s to discontinue the fluid
restriction orders but the physicians declined. She expected that staff monitor intake to
not exceed 1500 ml and document in the nurses notes. Noncompliance should also be
documented. All physician’s orders [REDACTED].
During an interview on 2/7/19 at approximately 11:30 A.M., nurse M called the facility’s
laboratory company and asked for results of the ordered CMP, ordered on [DATE]. The
laboratory representative said the only results of laboratory tests for the resident
showed a date of 12/28/18. The laboratory did not have results or a sample received from
the order dated 1/17/19.
3. Review of the facility’s Routine Infection Control Surveillance in Long Term Care
policy, undated, showed the following:
-The primary purpose of infection control surveillance is the collection of information
for action. It is more than just evaluation of laboratory reports, including cultures.
Infection control includes routine surveillance of residents, surveillance of staff, and
surveillance of the environment. This may be accomplished using the following guidelines;
-A facility’s surveillance system should include monitoring for appropriate antibiotic
use. A positive culture in a person without clinical symptoms rarely requires treatment
with antibiotics.

Observe each nurse aide’s job performance and give regular training.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure certified nurse aides
received the required 12 hours of training and have a system to track the hours for four
of the four employees reviewed who worked at the facility for over a year. The census was
97.
Review of the training records provided by the facility, showed:
-Nineteen certified nurse aides (CNAs) worked at the facility for over a year;
-CNA A – received five hours of training;
-CNA B – received four hours of training;
-CNA C – received four hours of training;
-CNA D – received five hours and 15 minutes of training.
During an interview on 2/6/18 at 1:25 P.M., the Director of Nursing and the Assistant
Director of Nursing said they are both aware that the CNA’s have to have 12 hours of
resident care centered training per calendar year beginning on the hire date anniversary.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare,
distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards.

Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to maintain the low temperature
dish machine’s chemical sanitizer at 50 parts per million (ppm) of chlorine bleach to
ensure effective sanitizing of dishware. This deficient practice had the potential to
effect all residents who ate at the facility. The census was 94.
During an interview on 2/7/19 at 9:02 A.M., the Dietary Manager (DM) said the dish machine
was low temperature with chemical sanitation and was tested twice daily using chemical
strips. The bucket of sanitizer had to be changed every two weeks or so. The DM took a
strip from a container, and dipped it into the chamber as the sanitizing chemical mixed
with water. The strip did not turn the appropriate color to indicate a sanitizer level of
at least 50 ppm. The DM checked the bucket of sanitizer, followed the tubing from the
bucket to the machine, started another wash cycle and dipped another test strip. Again the
strip did not indicate the proper level of sanitizer. The DM said the machine was tested
earlier in the morning and it was fine. She would call the company that serviced the
machine and have them come to the facility right away.
During an interview on 2/7/19 at 11:38 A.M., the DM said the representative from the
service company came and reset the machine. The representative said each time the bucket
is changed, it must be primed. The DM asked the representative to provide an inservice to
staff on how to prime a new bucket of sanitizer. The DM took another chemical strip,
tested the machine and the strip indicated the proper level of sanitizer.
During an interview on 2/7/19 at 11:45 A.M., Detary Aide O said he/she had changed the
sanitizer bucket before but did know it needed to primed or how to do it.
During an interview on 2/7/19 at 12:35 P.M., the DM said she found out how to prime new

sanitizer buckets. Normally, the representative changes it when he/she comes every couple
of weeks. Her staff should know how to prime a new bucket of sanitizer when it is placed
in use.
During an interview on 2/15/19 at 10:25 A.M., the facility’s service representative said
he does not change the sanitizer bucket because he only comes out once a month. If you do
not prime the machine by pressing a button on it’s side after replacing the sanitizer, ten
to fifteen loads will not be sanitized properly due to air in the lines.

does rounds on the floors daily to check for items that need repair. Staff also have work
orders on each floor which they can fill out to give to maintenance when they notice
something needed repaired. He was not aware of the missing curtains.
During an interview on 2/7/19 at 10:05 A.M., the administrator said he expected
maintenance staff to complete rounds on the resident floors at least weekly. Staff should
also submit work orders for items they noticed needed repaired. The maintenance department
identifies issues and then prioritize what will be addressed. Every room should have
privacy curtains.

Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure equipment in the kitchen
was in good repair and kept clean and free of greasy build up for five of five days of
observation. The census was 94.
Observation of the kitchen on 2/3/19 at 9:00 A.M., 2/4/19 at 12:17 P.M., 2/5/19 at 11:00
A.M., 2/6/19 at 11:00 A.M. and 2/7/19 at 9:16 A.M., showed the following:
-The front, sides and area around and underneath the stove, grill, deep fat fryer and
convection oven
with stains, streaks and a build up of grease;
-A white towel with grease spots lay on the floor between the deep fat fryer and the
grill;
-A white towel with large dark brown spots stuffed underneath the oven door and below the
grill.
During an interview on 2/3/19 at approximately 9:00 A.M., Cook P said he/she put the towel
under the oven door because the grill pan that caught grease from the grill had a hole in
it. It had been welded back together before but it was leaking again. The towel between
the deep fat fryer and grill was there to catch grease when taking things from the fryer
in order to have less to clean up on the floor.
During an interview on 2/6/19 at 11:16 A.M., the administrator said he was not aware the
drip pan was leaking or that a towel had been placed under the oven. The maintenance
director would be in soon and he would get it taken care of. Staff should let maintenance
know when things need repair and if they are able, they will repair it. An outside company
is used for items maintenance is not able to take care of in the kitchen. At 11;20 A.M.,
the administrator said he removed the towel from under the stove. The maintenance director
said he was aware of the leak two days ago. He told him to order a new drip pan.
During an interview on 2/7/19 at 8:01 A.M., the maintenance director said there are work
order forms on each floor that are picked up daily by the maintenance department. In the
kitchen, staff tell him when something needs to be fixed. He was told a day or two ago
about the drip pan, called the company and a new one should be delivered today.
During an interview on 2/7/19 at 9:16 A.M., Cook P said he told the maintenance director
about the leak a few days ago. He wet the towel before he put it under the oven. He
pointed to the side of the oven, stating the grease dripped down the side of it to the
floor. Cook P opened the oven and pointed to a thick, approximately 1/4 to 1 inch build up
of grease on the inside of the oven door that also came from the leaky grill pan.
During an interview on 2/7/19 at 12:35 P.M., the DM said she did not have a deep cleaning
schedule but did have a daily cleaning list of items she expected to be done. The duties
on the list are not assigned to staff, are not signed off when they are completed and she
does not have a way to know if the tasks have been completed.
