Findings include: On 06/25/2010 at 10:10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., and 06/26/2010 at 8:45 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 1:10 p.m., resident 'S' was noted in a wheelchair with their right hand clenched, and no splint device in place. On 06/25/2010 at 2:30 p.m., the resident stated they used to have a splint, but didn't know where it was. Additionally, the resident stated that at one time he/she was given a rubber ball to squeeze, but that they hadn't done that for a long time now. Review of resident 'S's annual Minimum Data Set ((MDS) dated [DATE] noted ROM limitation on one side, with full loss of voluntary movement. A Potential for Falls care plan dated 02/23/2010 noted the resident had weakness and was receiving Restorative. None of the resident's care plans addressed the loss of ROM, nor interventions to improve or prevent further decline. Review of the physician's progress notes dated 3/12/2010 and 4/16/2010 noted resident 'S' had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. On 06/26/2010 at 10:45 a.m., Occupational Therapist (OT) 'GG' stated she discharged the resident to Restorative services in March, and remembered educating the Restorative Aide about what needed to be done, including ROM and splint application. On 06/26/2010 at 11:30 a.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) MDS Coordinator 'BB' stated she was not aware of the referral made by therapy for Restorative services in March. | 2015-03-01 |

It was determined that the facility's failure to prevent resident elopement, and a lack of a working WanderGuard system, which they relied almost exclusively on to prevent elopement, resulted in a situation in which the provider's noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused, or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident existed from June 3, 2010 until June 26, 2010 when the facility submitted an acceptable plan of correction. Findings include: 1) Record review for resident #114 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with an admission [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. An admission Minimum Data Set, dated dated [DATE] assessed the resident as having short and long term memory problems, moderately impaired cognitive skills and was exhibiting periods of altered perception or awareness of surroundings. The resident was also assessed as exhibiting verbal, physical abusive behaviors, as being socially inappropriate and resistive to care. Review of a Nurses Note dated 6/03/2010 revealed that at 10:50 p.m., the resident received medication for an increase in agitation and stated that she was going to sleep outside on the bench (in the back yard).

A situation in which the provider's noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused, or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident was determined to exist from June 3, 2010 until June 26, 2010 when the facility submitted an acceptable plan of correction. Findings include: 1. Record review for resident # 114 revealed that a care plan had been developed on 4/19/2010 which identified the resident as having elopement behaviors. As identified in the care plan, the resident had the potential for elopement due to frequent threats to leave the facility unescorted. Interventions were added at this time for placing and checking the WanderGuard bracelet and encourage the resident to ventilate her feelings regarding placement in the Facility. On 6/4/2010, 6/11/2010 and on 6/19/2010, the care plan was updated after the resident had eloped from the facility over the back fence on these dates. Two additional interventions that were added after these dates were to perform visual checks of the resident and to monitor the resident when she was on the back porch, but failed to include the frequency of monitoring and to designate the staff person responsible for conducting the monitoring. 2. Record review for resident # 85 revealed a care plan dated 3/19/2009 and on 3/09/2010 had identified the resident as having the potential for elopement due to a history of leaving the facility unescorted and having a history of climbing the fence. This care plan had also been updated on 9/08/2009 and 02/27/2010 after the resident eloped from the facility.

The facility failed to identified a significant number of residents with wandering behaviors or to identify commonalities in how residents were leaving the facility with staff awareness. This effected seventeen (17) residents currently residing in the facility with elopement behaviors. A situation in which the provider's noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused, or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident was determined to exist from June 3, 2010 until June 26, 2010 when the facility submitted an acceptable plan of correction. Findings include: An interview on 6/25/2010 at 2:15 p.m. with the Administrator revealed she did not remember if elopement was addressed in the most recent Quality Assurance (QA) meeting that took place on 6/16/2010. Interview at that time revealed she was not aware of the number of, or the frequency of residents leaving the facility without staff being aware. She further commented that when you look back at the year, there had been more elopements than she realized. Record review of the summary documentation of the QA meetings conducted in the past year revealed wandering or elopement was listed as a topic twice but no trending, new interventions or factors contributing to elopement from the facility were discussed. Although the back yard fence was a frequent source of elopement by residents, no solutions were developed. A lack of sufficient outside sources for psychiatric referrals was listed but no solutions developed. The Administrator was aware that the back yard fence, gate and roof sections have been problematic with residents going over and under the fence and that the fence needed rep… | 2015-03-01 |

The sample size was twenty-six (26) residents. Findings include: On 6/25/2010 at 10:10 a.m., resident 'S' was noted to be holding a carton of milk with their left hand. The resident's right hand was clinched shut in a fist, and when asked, the resident was unable to extend the fingers of this hand. No splint device was in use, and the resident stated they were currently not receiving any therapy. On subsequent observations on 6/25/2010 at 2:30 p.m., and 6/26/2010 at 8:45 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 1:10 p.m., the resident was noted in a wheelchair with their right hand clenched, and no splint device in place. On 6/25/2010 at 2:20 p.m., Restorative Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) stated that she had not received a referral from the therapist, nor provided any Restorative services for resident 'S' in past 4 months or more. She added that at one time the resident was being seen for a splint to their hand, but that the splint had been missing for probably 7 months now. On 6/25/2010 at 2:30 p.m., resident 'S' stated they used to have a splint, but didn't know where it was, and that they hadn't worn it for over 6 months. They added that the splint seemed to help, and that they would like to have it back. Additionally, the resident stated that at one time he/she was given a rubber ball to squeeze, but that they hadn't done that for a long time now. On 6/26/2010 at 10:45 a.m., Occupational Therapist (OT) 'GG' stated she discharged the resident to Restorative services in March, and remembered educating the Restorative Aide about what needed to be done, including range of motion (ROM) and splint application.

The failure to implement effective interventions to address residents leaving the facility with staff being aware and to maintain a safe environment, specifically, the back yard fenced area effected seventeen (17) residents identified by the facility as having a high risk for their safety based on elopement behaviors. Therefore, a situation in which the provider's noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused, or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident was determined to exist from June 3, 2010 until June 26, 2010 when the facility submitted an acceptable plan of correction. Findings include: During interview with the Administrator on 6/25/2010 at 10:00 a.m. revealed she was aware of problems with elopement and that this had been an on-going problem. The residents in this facility were described as unique and do not have the same issues as in other facilities. "If these residents decide to leave you can not prevent it". Interventions that were put into place for (named) resident (#114) were not consistently followed. The resident was difficult to keep track of. She indicated that they placed one-to-one supervision on the resident after the second elopement but they stopped after a couple of days and the supervision should have been on going. Interview with the DON and the Administrator on 6/25/2010 at 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. revealed neither was aware that residents knew how to and were turning off the WanderGuard system when an alarm would sound. Nor were they aware that staff were in visual site of the area when this was occurring. An interview on 6/25/2010 at 2:15 p.m. with the Administrator revealed that when they looked back at the whole year of occurrences, the number of elopements was more than they realized.

On 1/13/2015 at 9:40 a.m. observation of the bathroom in room 222 revealed the grab bar next to the toilet was observed to be loose and not securely attached to the wall. Review of weekly Assist Bar Rounds for October 2014 through January 2015, provided by the facility, revealed documentation of weekly checks of assist bars in rooms 206, 207, 222, 225 and the 200 hall shower room as well as all resident rooms and the two shower rooms. During interview with the Maintenance Director on 1/15/2015 at 3:30 p.m. he stated the last time prior to 1/12/2015 that he checked the grab bars in the bathrooms in 206, 207, 222, 225 and the 200 hall shower room was on January 5th or 6th. He further stated he checks the bars in all the bathrooms and shower rooms every Monday or Tuesday. The Maintenance Director stated the bars in rooms 206, 207, 222, 225 and the 200 shower room were not loose when he checked them last week on January 5th or January 6th . | 2015-03-01 |

Findings include: Record review for Resident "A" revealed a Skilled Nursing Progress Note of 08/12/2011 at 4:30 p.m. which documented the resident's admission to the facility, having been transported via ambulance. This Note documented that at the time of admission, the resident's oxygen saturation level was ninety-two (92) percent. The resident's admission physician's orders [REDACTED]. The admission orders [REDACTED]. Review of the admission Skilled Nursing Note of 08/12/2011 at 4:30 p.m. documented the respiratory concern that the resident needed oxygen per cannula as-needed. However, as indicated above, there was no admission order for oxygen administration, and there was no evidence to indicate that nursing staff made an attempt to clarify if the resident needed oxygen on an as-needed basis or on a continuous basis. A Skilled Nursing Progress Notes entry of 08/12/2011 at 6:30 p.m., two hours after the resident's admission to the facility, documented that a family member of Resident "A" came to the facility and informed facility staff that the resident had been on oxygen for the past five years, and documented that oxygen was started at that time at the family's request. This Note also documented that the family member called Emergency Medical Services (EMS) at that time. A Telephone Orders sheet of 08/12/2011 at 6:45 p.m. specified a physician's orders [REDACTED]. The Emergency Medical Services Prehospital Care Report dated 08/12/2011 documented that upon arrival at the nursing facility, at 18:35 p.m. the resident's oxygen saturation was documented at eighty (80) percent and that the resident was placed on oxygen at 3 liters per minute, an… | 2015-03-01 |

Findings include: 1. According to a 10/13/10 laboratory test results form, resident #12 had an abnormally low sodium level of 129 on 10/13/10 (normal range was between 135 and 148). On 10/15/10, the physician ordered licensed nursing staff to administer one gram of sodium chloride to the resident every day. However, review of the resident's 10/2010 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed that licensed nursing staff failed to transcribe the medication order to the October, 2010 MAR. Therefore, licensed nursing staff failed to administer the sodium chloride to the resident as ordered from 10/15/10 to 10/20/10. On 10/20/10 at 12:25 p.m., the Director of Nursing stated that the medication was available in the medication cart but, licensed nursing staff had failed to administer the medication to the resident as ordered until 9:00 a.m. on 10/20/10. Resident #12 had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. rate was less than 55 beats per minute and/or the resident's systolic blood pressure was less than 110. However, a review of the resident's Medication Administration Records (MARs) for 8/2010, 9/2010 and 10/2010, revealed that licensed nursing staff had not held [MEDICATION NAME] when the resident's systolic blood pressures readings were less than 110. .On 8/9/10 at 5:00 p.m., the resident's systolic blood pressure was 106; on 8/23/10 at 5:00 p.m., the resident's systolic blood pressure was 103; and on 8/29/10 at 5:00 p.m., the resident's systolic blood pressure was 94.

Findings included: Review of the medical record for Resident "B" revealed the September 2011 Minimum Data Set assessment indicated that the resident was totally dependent on staff for toilet use, requiring the physical assistance of one (1) person for toileting. During an interview conducted on 11/15/2011 at 3:45 p.m., Resident "B" stated that most of the time, when he utilized the call light to request assistance, staff would initially respond, turn off the call light, and state they would be back in a few minutes, but then he would end up having to wait one (1) to two (2) hours before getting help. He specifically stated that he had experienced a delay of two (2) hours after requesting help to go to the bathroom. He stated that he preferred to go to the bathroom for toileting, but had to utilize the bedpan and to clean himself due to the delay in obtaining assistance. He further stated that the facility had made an effort to resolve the issue, but that the problem had not been solved. Review of the Complaint/Grievance Report revealed an October 2011 entry indicating that Resident "B" had complained about staff not answering the call light. During an interview conducted on 11/15/2011 at 4:45 p.m., the Administrator acknowledged that there had been resident grievances about staff call light response and that the facility was in the process of surveying residents regarding this issue. | 2015-03-01 |

Findings include: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's Clinical Practice Guideline for "Pressure Ulcers in Adults" noted that, when eschar was present, accurate staging of a pressure sore was not possible until the eschar had sloughed or the wound had been debrided. The facility's Policy and Procedure for Wound Staging identifies a Stage II Pressure Sore as a partial-thickness skin loss involving epidermis and/or dermis which is superficial, red/pink wound bed without slough or eschar, and does not include tunneling or undermining. A Stage III pressure sore included full-thickness skin loss involving damage or necrosis of subcutaneous tissue which may extend down to underlying fascia, yellow-pink wound bed, may exhibit slough, and may involve tunneling or undermining. A Stage IV pressure sore included full-thickness skin loss, tissue necrosis or damage to muscle, bone or supporting structures, may have tunneling or undermining, and with necrotic tissue (slough or eschar) present which does not allow adequate visualization of the wound bed. 1.

Findings include: The facility's approved menu for lunch on 5/25/10 planned for cranberry glazed ham or Swiss steak with gravy were to be served to the residents. However, only the 19 residents on a mechanical soft diet were served ham. Dietary staff failed to follow the approved menu for the other 73 residents who were served pork loin instead of ham. The dietary manager said on 5/25/10 at 3:40 p.m. that the hospital kitchen supplied and prepared the meat served to all of the residents. She said that the hospital kitchen did not have enough glazed ham to serve all of the residents, so the hospital substituted pork loin for the ham. She said that she was not notified in advance about that change in the planned menu. The facility's planned menu for 5/25/10 included serving residents on a pureed diet 2/12 to 3 ounces of a baked sweet potato as a main side dish. Carrots were listed on the planned menus as an alternate.
