The facility was completing the staff posting in advance, rather than at the beginning of each shift as required. This practice had the potential to affect more than an isolated number of both residents and other interested individuals such as family members or visitors. Facility census: 76. Findings include: a) On 01/03/12, at approximately 4:30 p.m., an observation of the daily staffing sheet revealed the facility had the number of licensed practical nurses and registered nurses for night shift already filled in and counted. On 01/09/12, at approximately 11:00 a.m., a second observation of the daily staffing sheet revealed it had the wrong date listed and had the number of licensed and registered nurses had been filled in for day, evening, and night shifts. On 01/09/12, at approximately 12:00 p.m., the director of nursing (Employee #55) said Employee #89 (licensed practical nurse) took care of the daily staffing post and would answer any questions related to the issue. On 01/09/12, at approximately 1:00 p.m., Employee #89 confirmed she was responsible for the daily staffing posting.

Stored plates were discovered to have water between them when food was being served on the tray line. This practice created a medium for bacterial growth resulting in a potential contamination of the dishware. This practice had the potential to affect all residents who received nourishment from the dietary department. Facility census: 76 Findings include: a) While observing meal service, at lunch on 01/09/12, plates were observed stored wet with moisture between them. As these were retrieved from the lowerator for use at the meal, some plates were observed wet. This practice had the potential to allow bacterial grow in the moist environment. The consultant dietitian was present at the time of the observation and verified wet dishes were present. The Food Code, section 4-901.11, requires equipment and utensils, after cleaning and sanitizing, be air dried or used after adequate draining. Wet storage, particularly when items are stacked on top of each other while wet, creates a medium for bacterial growth. | 2016-04-01 |

Various issues related to overall cleanliness of the physical environment, equipment, and storage of food items created potential for contamination of foods and food service items. Thirteen (13) of thirteen (13) residents who resided on the skilled nursing unit (SNU) received an oral diet from the kitchen and had the potential to be affected. Facility census: 13. Findings include: a) On 03/19/12, at approximately 11:00 a.m., and on 03/21/12, at approximately 3:00 p.m., Employee #40 (assistant food service director) accompanied the tour of the kitchen/food service area, and confirmed the following sanitation infractions affected the overall sanitary distribution of food: 1) On 03/19/12, a cardboard box was sitting in the sink in the salad preparation area. 2) On 03/20/12, the scoop for sugar was found down inside the container. The container contained a small amount of sugar and the scoop was inside the sugar. The container did not have a label which indicated the container held sugar. According to the food and drug administration (FDA) 2009 code section 3-304.12 In food that is not potentially hazardous handles should be stored above the top of the food. According to the FDA 2009 code section 3-302.12 Food storage containers should contain the common name of the food item. 3) On 03/20/12, the drain under the Jello cooler contained dirt and debris. 4) On 03/20/12, a fan located on the floor near the food service tray line area had dirt and debris on the outer casing as well as the fan blades.

The information could not be located in the area of the facility to which residents and visitors members were directed on the facility's information board. This practice had the potential to affect all residents and visitors wishing to review this information. Facility census: 57. Findings include: a) Upon initial entrance to the facility on [DATE] at approximately 10:45 a.m., a notice was observed in the entrance hallway on a board with other mandatory posting, stating survey results and information related to applying for Medicaid and Medicare could be found in the white binder in the front lobby. Employee #59 (front office personnel), when questioned, confirmed the front lobby was considered to be an area by the front door where two (2) chairs and a table were located. This area was searched, and no white binder was located. Employee #59, when subsequently approached about the inability of the surveyor to locate the binder of information, confirmed it was not in the designated location. This employee further stated residents sometimes carried the notebook off. In approximately fifteen (15) minutes, Employee #59 returned and had located the white binder.

The facility elected not to have mail delivered on Saturdays. Therefore, residents had to wait until Monday to receive mail when the postal service would normally deliver mail to persons living in the community on Saturdays. This practice had the potential to affect more than an isolated number of residents. Facility census: 57. Findings include: a) During an interview on 11/02/11 at approximately 9:00 a.m., Resident #29 (who represents the resident council as president) reported that residents at this facility did not receive mail on Saturdays. When interviewed on 11/02/11 at approximately 9:30 a.m., Employee #60 (administrative assistant) acknowledged the facility had the mail delivery stopped on Saturday due to the mail box being broken into and mail being stolen. On 11/03/11 at approximately 1:00 p.m., the director of nursing (DON) reported an activity assistant would start getting the mail out of the box after the facility resumed Saturday delivery. According to the guidance to surveyors for determining a nursing facility's compliance with this requirement: 'Promptly' means delivery of mail or other materials to the resident within 24 hours of delivery by the postal service (including a post office box) and delivery of outgoing mail to the postal service within 24 hours, except when there is no regularly scheduled postal delivery and pick-up service. | 2016-04-01 |

One (1) of five (5) supervisors indicated an employee would not need to be suspended from direct care duties after an allegation of neglect were made against them, contrary to the facility's policy addressing protection of residents during investigations into allegations of abuse. This practice had the potential to affect more than an isolated number of residents. Employee identifier: #15. Facility census: 57. Findings include: a) Employee #15 On 11/01/11 at approximately 1:00 p.m., during review of the facility's compliance with the abuse prohibition requirements, an interview with Employee #15 (assistant director of nursing - ADON) revealed she did not believe an employee would need to be suspended after an allegation of abuse was made against him or her. Employee #15 reported that the facility could reassign the employee, not allowing the employee to work with the resident who was considered the alleged victim in the situation. On 11/01/11 at approximately 2:00 p.m., an interview with the director of nursing (DON - Employee #9) revealed she completed the investigations of allegations of abuse and neglect at the facility. She said employees who were accused of abusing residents would be suspended pending completion of the facility's investigation into the allegation(s) made against the employee. The facility's abuse policy, reviewed on 11/01/11 at approximately 3:00 p.m., revealed the following in Section 5.1.2: The employee alleged to have committed the act of abuse will be removed from duty pending an investigation. | 2016-04-01 |

While residents were trying to eat their lunch, five (5) to seven (7) staff members were emptying food carts and conversing loudly in direct proximity of the residents' dining space. This practice had the potential to affect more than a minimal number of residents who eat meals in the main dining area of the facility. Facility census: 57. Findings include: a) On 10/31/11 at 12:15 p.m., observations of the noon meal in the main dining area were made. The dining room was noted to be very full, with minimal space for staff and residents to move around. As the meal progressed, observation found that, rather than serving the resident meal trays directly from the kitchen area, the trays were put onto food carts which were left in the already crowded room, and the carts were unloaded by staff members who were serving the residents. At that time, three (3) large enclosed food carts were situated in the area closest to the kitchen door and directly adjacent to dining tables where residents were seated and trying to eat. Serving staff was clustered around the carts, attempting to locate individual residents' meal trays. The cart doors were constantly opening and closing, and staff was continuously discussing which tray should go where. At the dining table closest to the carts, three (3) residents (#43, #14 and #2) were noticed to be making no attempt to eat. These resident remained at this table throughout the meal, and although staff occasionally prompted them to eat, none of the three (3) ate more than a few bites of food. At approximately 12:45 p.m., the dietary manager (Employee #1) was made aware of the confusion and chaos observed in the dining room. Employee #1 stated this was the manner in which all trays were served in the dining room at all meals, and Employee #1 agreed that the process did make the dining environment very chaotic while residents were tryi… | 2016-04-01 |

Doors were noted to be slamming loudly in resident living areas. This practice had the potential to affect more than a minimum number of residents. Facility census: 57. Findings include: a) On the afternoon of 10/31/11, the sound of frequently slamming doors was noted from the nurse's station of the facility. When investigated, the outside door entering the Autumn unit was very loud when it closed. This was considered by staff to be the ambulance door, but traffic through this door was noted several times between 1:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on 10/31/11. While seated at the nurse's station and observing medication administration on 11/01/11, this surveyor noted the door on the central bath was also slamming each time it closed. Between the hours of 7:50 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., this door was noted to slam loudly twelve (12) times. Many residents were noted to be still in bed during this time. Restorative staff was obtaining weights on this date (the first day of the new month) and staff was frequently entering and exiting the central bath through this door with residents. Both of these doors were located in areas of close proximity to resident living space. On the morning of 11/01/11, two (2) residents who resided on the Autumn unit (who wished to remain anonymous) stated the sound of slamming doors did bother them on occasion. One (1) of the two (2) residents stated staff used the outside door at the end of the hallway when entering the facility early in the morning and that he/she was frequently awakened by the noise of the slamming door. At approximately 1:00 p.m. on 11/01/11, the door to the central bath was determined to have a device installed that was intended to prevent the door from slamming when shut. This device did not appear to be functioning properly and did not prevent the slamming. At 1:30 p.m. on 11/01/11, the facility's maintenance di… | 2016-04-01 |

Resident #75, who entered the facility with a need for therapy services, had no care plan to assure optimal well-being once therapy services were no longer needed. Facility census: 57. Findings include: a) Resident #75 The medical record of Resident #75, when reviewed on 11/02/11, disclosed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] following hospitalization where she had been admitted from home for [MEDICAL CONDITION], a metabolic condition in which there is not enough sodium (salt) in the body fluids. The resident also had medical [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. At the time of admission, the history and physical completed by the resident's physician at the facility stated, Admit, fluid restriction, PT/OT (physical therapy and occupational therapy). The resident's record disclosed she had been discharged from PT and OT services in late August. The resident's current care plan, which was dated to have been implemented on 08/17/11, made no mention of any needs the resident had related to discharge from the facility (should that time come) or any plan related to staying in the facility, once she no longer needed the services of OT/PT. The facility's physical therapist assistant (PTA - Employee #11), when interviewed on the morning of 11/02/11, confirmed Resident #75 had met her established goals related to these therapies. A consulting social worker (Employee #47), when interviewed on the afternoon of 11/02/11, following review of the resident's record, confirmed there was no evidence of discharge planning for this resident, either at the time of admission to the facility, or following the completion of… | 2016-04-01 |

One resident (Resident #28) had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. One (1) resident (Resident #73) had continued weight loss, and the care plan did not reflect this issue. Resident identifiers: #28 and #73. Facility census: 57. Findings include: a) Resident #28 On 11/02/11 at approximately 9:30 a.m., medical record review for Resident #28 revealed this resident had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The nursing notes for the time period of 10/09/11 through 11/02/11 contained documentation that the resident's urine was having a strong, foul odor for seventeen (17) days. On 11/02/11 at approximately 10:30 a.m., an interview with Employee #23 (a licensed practical nurse - LPN) revealed she had taken care of Resident #28 on several occasions. She said the resident normally had a strong urine odor. She also said the resident had not had any other symptoms associated with a urinary tract infection. The medical record showed the resident's temperature to be within normal range, and she had not complained of any pain which would have indicated a possible urinary tract infection. On 11/03/11 at approximately 8:00 a.m., the director of nursing (DON - Employee #9) had documentation from 09/08/04 regarding Resident #28's issues with urine odors. On 09/08/11, a nurse contacted the physician regarding the resident's strong urine odor. At that time, the physician directed staff to contact him if the resident began to run a temperature. On 11/03/11 at approximately 10:00 a.m., the registered nurse who completed all minimum data set assessments and care plans (Employee #16) reviewed Resident #28's care plan. She indicated she could revise the care plan to include the issue regarding the resident's strong urine odor. She said she would incorporate this into the sectio… | 2016-04-01 |

Resident identifier: #73. Facility census: 57. Findings include: a) Resident #73 The medical record of Resident #73, when reviewed on 11/02/11, revealed the resident had been admitted to the facility on [DATE] following hospitalization where she underwent a thoracotomy (surgery to remove all or part of a lung) and resection for a lung mass. The resident was noted by her physician to be admitted with deconditioning related to this hospitalization , with the hopes that she could be strengthened and return home. The resident also had surgical wounds requiring daily care. At the time of admission to the facility on [DATE], she weighed 146# and was 5 feet, 5 inches tall. Admission medication orders included [MEDICATION NAME] daily for a supplement. ([MEDICATION NAME] is a vitamin and mineral supplement.) A progress note, recorded by the dietary manager on 08/10/11, recognized the resident's weight was 137# and that she had experienced a 9# weight loss in two (2) weeks. The note further stated, RD (registered dietician) will assess. The resident was not assessed by the RD for an additional six (6) days. Her weight at that time had declined an additional 2#. When assessed on 08/16/11, the RD recommended the resident receive the dietary supplement Resource 2.0 two (2) times a day. Although the resident remained within her determined ideal body weight range of 112# to 138#, the resident had experienced a 12# weight loss in twenty (20) days, after having been admitted to the facility for recovery following extensive surgery. The resident was hospitalized the following day with a medical [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the medical record disclos… | 2016-04-01 |

Resident identifiers: #44 and #45. Facility census: 57. Findings include: a) Residents #44 and #45 Residents, when interviewed during Stage I of the survey, were asked if the facility provided sufficient water for hydration. Resident #45 stated, They always give us cola, but when we ask for water, we never get it. Sometimes, we have to go get it ourselves. Resident #44 stated, There is no sense in checking my water pitcher, because they never give us water. Observations were made on 11/01/11, 11/02/11, and 11/03/11 to check for fresh water for residents in the facility. Residents #44 and #45, on each observation, had only approximately 60 cc of water in their pitchers; the water was warm, and the pitchers contained no ice. Review of the resident council minutes found residents had complained, on 08/05/11, that they do not get fresh ice water. On 10/07/11, residents again complained of not receiving fresh ice water. This concern was discussed with the director of nursing (Employee #9) at 2:25 p.m. on 11/03/11. | 2016-04-01 |

The facility did not ensure they had appropriate test kits available to verify the concentration of sanitizer solutions for the 3-compartment sink and the rinse water of the low temperature dish machine. In addition, the facility did not ensure proper labeling, storage, and disposal of food items in the pantry area located near the facility's nursing station. These practices had the potential to affect all residents. Facility census: 57. Findings include: a) On 10/31/11 at approximately 11:00 a.m., a tour of the kitchen and an interview with the dietary manager (Employee #1) revealed the facility had a low temperature dishwasher that used chemical sanitation. The dietary manager took a test strip from the cylinder and tested the sanitizing solution that ran through the dish machine. The test strip turned a shade of purple. The cylinder had different colors associated with different ppm (parts per million). None of the colors on the cylinder were purple. The dietary manager said the facility had recently selected a new food distributor, and he did not know if this had anything to do with the test strips not coinciding with the colors on the cylinder. He said the test strip should show the color associated with 50 ppm. However, the test strip did not correlate with the color on the cylinder that indicated 50 ppm. An observation of the 3-compartment sink, also located in the dish room, revealed there were no test strips available to test the chemical sanitation in this sink. The dietary manager said they must have ran out, and he went to get more sanitation strips for the 3-compartment sink. The 3-compartment sink and the dish machine both used a sanitizing agent. There were no postings of information to inform dietary staff what type or concentration of chemical sanitation needed to be used for the dish mac… | 2016-04-01 |

Facility census: 95. Findings include: a) Resident #42 Observations of Resident #42 were made on 04/22/13 at 1:00 p.m., 04/22/13 at 4:30 p.m., 04/23/13 at 9:10 a.m., 04/23/13 at 2:00 p.m., and 04/23/13 at 3:00 p.m. Resident #42's bed was placed with one side against the wall of the room. He was always found lying on his right side with his face within a foot of the wall. There were two (2) main areas where the wall was damaged. Those areas were around four (4) inches in diameter, and the outer finished layer of the wall was gone. Toward the center, the depth of the damage increased, to include the inside of the wall itself. There were several, eighteen (18) to twenty (20) small areas where small pieces of the outer finish layer of the wall were missing and the inside of the wall material was exposed. These were roughly circular and ranged from around one fourth inch (?) to one inch (1) in width. Also noted were many marks on the wall around and through these damaged areas, that appeared to be linear scratches. These were jagged in appearance, not perfectly straight marks. All of this damage was adjacent to the area where Resident #42's face and hands were observed. He appeared debilitated, perhaps contracted nearly in a fetal position, but was seen to be restless and moving about in his bed. A registered nurse (RN), Employee #148, was interviewed on 04/23/13 at 3:15 p.m. She was asked to observe the damage to the wall in Resident #42's room.

There was no system in place to account for the receipt, usage, disposition, and reconciliation of controlled medications. The lack of a process for reconciliation prevented the prompt identification of loss and/or diversion of controlled medications. This resulted in an inability to minimize the time between the actual loss or diversion and the time of detection and follow-up to determine the extent of loss. In addition, there was no evidence the pharmacist evaluated the facility's procedures and made recommendations for improvements after the facility determined there had been a misappropriation of controlled medications at the facility. The controlled medications of Resident #96 were misappropriated by licensed staff. This was not discovered for approximately one (1) month, when it was reported by another nurse. Resident #99's controlled medications were found in the medication cart over a month after he was discharged from the facility, and over two (2) months after the physician's orders [REDACTED].
