9173 CORTLAND ACRES NURSING HOME 515063 39 CORTLAND ACRES LANE THOMAS WV 26292 2011-02-02 221 D 0 1 IEXL11 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, observation, policy review, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure each resident was free from any physical restraints not required to treat the resident's medical symptoms. One (1) of thirty-six (36) Stage II sample residents was placed in a beanbag chair (which prevented him from rising) without a written physician's order for its use to treat a medical symptom. Resident identifier: #62. Facility census: 90. Findings include: a) Resident #62 1. At approximately 3:00 p.m. on 01/24/11, observation found Resident #62 to be sliding out of his positional chair while located in the living room area. Only one (1) aide was present in the room, and she placed a beanbag chair that had been positioned adjacent to his chair under him, so that he slid out of the positional chair and onto the beanbag chair. At 4:30 p.m. on 01/24/11, this surveyor observed the resident still reclining in the beanbag chair receiving one-on-one (1:1) supervision by a nursing assistant (Employee #80) while a licensed practical nurse (LPN - Employee #43) worked nearby. The resident was very confused, making snoring sounds, and hitting out (ineffectively) at staff. During an interview with Employee #43 at this time, she stated they use the beanbag chair when the resident is so agitated that they cannot get him in any other chair without fear that he will throw himself out or turn the chair over. A subsequent review of incident reports verified this behavior. The incident reports indicated the falls were usually from his positional chair with a safety belt harness in place. The resident was strong and would shift his weight to one (1) side and, then, upset chair. He had six (6) reported falls of this type in the last two (2) months (on 01/24/11, 01/18/11, 12/15/10, 12/13/10, 12/05/10, and 12/01/10). A follow-up visit, at 5:45 p.m., revealed Resident #62 was in a positional chair being fed by a nurse aide. When he had finished eating, he was m… 2016-01-01

Resident #109's admission nursing assessment was inaccurate related to the absence of skin breakdown, and two (2) of Resident #34's MDS assessments were inaccurate related to the absence of contractures. Resident identifiers: #109 and #34. Facility census: 90. Findings include: a) Resident #109 When reviewed on 01/31/11, the medical record of Resident #109 divulged the resident had been admitted to the facility from an acute care hospital on [DATE], following surgery for [REDACTED]. Assessment by a facility nurse on the day of admission (12/22/10) stated the resident has had no foot problems or care in past seven (7) days. Review of the resident's care plan revealed that, shortly after admission on 01/05/11, a problem statement was added to address the presence of stage II pressure areas. (A Stage II pressure area is described by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel at www.npuap.org as a partial thickness of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a pink wound bed, without slough. May also present as an intact or open / ruptured serum filled blister.) A facility nurse (Employee #135), when interviewed on 02/01/11 at approximately 10:00 a.m., was asked why this skin breakdown was not recognized prior to progressing to Stage II. Another facility nurse (Employee #139) presented a written document, which identified as having been acquired from the hospital from where the resident had been discharged immediately preceding his admission to the nursing home. Employee #139 stated the information had been received upon request by the facility on the previous evening (01/31/11). This document included an evaluation of the resident dated 12/22/10 at 7:50 a.m., which noted patient heels pink and spongy bilat (bilaterally). The… 2016-01-01

One (1) resident (#109) had a [MEDICAL CONDITION] with no mention of this device and its associated care needs in the resident's care plan. Another resident (#97) acquired an eye infection that was not included in the care plan. Resident identifiers: #109 and #97. Facility census: 90. Findings include: a) Resident #109 When reviewed on 02/01/11, the medical record for Resident #109 divulged she had been admitted to the facility from an acute care hospital on [DATE], following surgery for [REDACTED]. Review of the resident's physician orders [REDACTED]. The resident's care plan, when reviewed on 02/01/11, contained no mention of the resident's [MEDICAL CONDITION] or care needs related to it. Employee #135, a facility nurse and assistant director of nurses, when interviewed related to the resident's care plan to address [MEDICAL CONDITION] care on 02/01/11 at 9:35 a.m., confirmed the [MEDICAL CONDITION] and its care needs were not included in the resident's plan of care. Employee #135, later on 02/01/11, provided evidence that, although the [MEDICAL CONDITION] and its care were not included on the resident's care plan, the information related to its care was available to facility nursing assistants by way of their kiosk (computer terminal) system. -- b) Resident #97 When reviewed on 01/31/11, the medical record of Resident #97 revealed a lab report dated (as reported to the facility) at 4:10 p.m. on 10/08/10. This lab report of a culture of the resident's eye identified the presence of [MEDICAL CONDITION]-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), scant growth. The resident's care plan in effect at that time (October 2010) was reviewed, and ther… 2016-01-01

Resident identifiers: #62 and #55. Facility census: 90. Findings include: a) Resident #62 1. At approximately 3:00 p.m. on 01/24/11, observation found Resident #62 to be sliding out of his positional chair while located in the living room area. Only one (1) aide was present in the room, and she placed a beanbag chair that had been positioned adjacent to his chair under him, so that he slid out of the positional chair and onto the beanbag chair. At 4:30 p.m. on 01/24/11, this surveyor observed the resident still reclining in the beanbag chair receiving one-on-one (1:1) supervision by a nursing assistant (Employee #80) while a licensed practical nurse (LPN - Employee #43) worked nearby. The resident was very confused, making snoring sounds, and hitting out (ineffectively) at staff.

A follow-up visit, at 5:45 p.m., revealed Resident #62 was in a positional chair being fed by a nurse aide. When he had finished eating, he was moved away from the other residents and was provided a 1:1 caregiver (Employee #60). He was still very awake and trying to rise, although the nurse (Employee #43) stated he had r… 2016-01-01
9177 CORTLAND ACRES NURSING HOME 515063 39 CORTLAND ACRES LANE THOMAS WV 26292 2011-02-02 282 D 0 1 IEXL11 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, and staff interviews, the facility failed to implement the plan of care for one (1) of thirty-six (36) Stage II sample residents, by failing to ensure staff applied a hand roll to the resident's hand and provided passive range of motion (PROM) exercises to the resident's knees and ankles in accordance with physician orders. Resident identifier: #55. Facility census: 90. Findings include: a) Resident #55 1. Observation, at 2:00 p.m. on 01/24/11, found Resident #55 sitting up in a chair in her room. There was no hand roll (foam or rolled washcloth) in either hand, nor was any hand roll observed to be present in her room. She was observed again at 10:00 a.m. on 01/25/11, at 4:15 p.m. on 01/25/11, and at 11:00 a.m. on 01/31/11, with no hand roll in place. A review of Resident #55's medical record revealed this [AGE] year old female had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Further review of the medical record found the treatment administration records (TARs) for December 2010 and January 2011 were filled out daily indicating, by the nurse's initials, that a hand roll was applied to the resident's right hand on each shift. Review of the resident's therapy note, dated 01/11/11, revealed the following: Received a screen request from nursing to look at pt's (patient's) L (left) hand for contracture management and consider orthotic placement. Informed nursing that pt has been looked at twice in the past for same issue and that she will NOT leave any orthotic in that hand. She uses her other hand to remove it. Therefore, there is a recommendation still in pt.'s care plan to place hand rolls (or rolled gauze) in pt's hands AS SHE TOLERATES, which this therapist agrees with continuing. Review of the resident's physician orders [REDACTED]. If unable to put foam roll in hand you may use a rolled up washcloth. Review of the resident's current care plan found the following problem statement: Needs Total Assist with ADL's (activities of d… 2016-01-01
9178 CORTLAND ACRES NURSING HOME 515063 39 CORTLAND ACRES LANE THOMAS WV 26292 2011-02-02 309 D 0 1 IEXL11 Based on observation, record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being in accordance with the comprehensive assessment and plan of care, by not consistently using hand rolls as specified in the resident's active care plan. This was found for one (1) of thirty-six (36) Stage II sample residents. Resident identifier: #34. Facility census: 90. Findings include: a) Resident #34 1. During daily observations of Resident #34 each morning and each afternoon on 01/24/11, 01/25/11, 01/26/11, and the morning of 01/27/11, there were no hand rolls or splints observed. Resident #34, when observed on 01/25/11 at 9:30 a.m., appeared to be unable to execute virtually any voluntary movement. During an interview with a facility registered nurse (RN - Employee #142) at 10:15 a.m. on 01/25/11, she was asked whether Resident #34 had any contractures. Employee #142 responded in the affirmative, stating she had contractures in both hands. When asked if hand rolls or splints were being used, she replied they were no longer, used because they were no longer helpful. She explained that the resident was nearly incapable of any voluntary movement and was totally dependant upon staff for all activities of daily living (ADLs) and movement. When observations were attempted on 01/31/11, it was found that resident was moved to another wing. Subsequent observation of the resident this revealed, again, no hand rolls or splints in place. On 01/31/11 at 4:20 p.m., a nursing assistant (Employee #143) was asked about use of splints or hand rolls for the resident. She stated she knew they sometimes used to use wash cloths. On 02/01/11 at 8:00 a.m., resident was observed in the dining room for breakfast with hand rolls in place. Observation of resident, on 02/01/11 at 9:45 a.m., revealed no breakdown on fingers or insides of hands. Resident #34 now had Posey hand rolls in place. -- The resident's MDS 3.0… 2016-01-01

Resident #109 was admitted to the facility following hospitalization and surgery for [REDACTED]. This incorrect assessment delayed implementation of care to the areas which resulted in the development of Stage II pressure sores. These Stage II pressure sores subsequently worsened to Stage III pressure sores. Resident identifier: #109. Facility census: 90. Findings include: a) Resident #109 When reviewed on 01/31/11, the medical record for Resident #109 divulged this [AGE] year old male was admitted to the facility from an acute care hospital on [DATE], following surgery for [REDACTED]. Review of the discharge summary received at the facility from the acute care hospital revealed, under Discharge Disposition, We will have the patient up with assistance, weight bearing as tolerated, decubitus precautions up in chair at bedside, QPI's (unknown abbreviation) off bed and abduction pillows at all times. The resident's admission minimum data set assessment (MDS), with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 12/29/10, stated in the areas of Functional Status that the resident required the extensive physical assistance of two (2) or more persons for bed mobility and transferring to/from bed, chair, wheelchair, standing position. The resident had no ability to reposition himself. A nursing assessment completed on the day admission to the facility (dated 12/22/10 at 7:12 p.m.), stated the resident has had no foot problems or care in past seven (7) days. The resident's physician orders, when reviewed, disclosed orders for no pressure ulcer treatment or preventive measures at the time of admission.

Resident identifier: #55. Facility census: 90. Findings include: a) Resident #55 1. A review of Resident #55's medical record revealed this [AGE] year old female had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The resident's annual minimum data set assessment (MDS), with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 08/31/10, stated the resident had limited ROM of all extremities and that this was no change from the previous MDS. The quarterly MDS, with an ARD of 11/14/10, indicated the resident had functional limitations of all extremities. The resident received therapy until 11/01/10, when she was discharged with a note stating, Discharge planned following completed staff education for restorative PROM (passive range of motion) program. -- 2. Review of the resident's therapy note, dated 01/11/11, revealed the following: Received a screen request from nursing to look at pt's (patient's) L (left) hand for contracture management and consider orthotic placement. Informed nursing that pt has been looked at twice in the past for same issue and that she will NOT leave any orthotic in that hand. She uses her other hand to remove it.

These practices had the potential to affect Residents #85, #69, #62, #70, and #65 (who had excessive heater temperatures), all cognitively impaired residents who wandered in the unsecured areas of the facility and had access to the unlocked chemicals on D Hall, and Resident #62 who was provided inadequate supervision to prevent reoccurring accidents. Facility census: 90. Findings include: a) Residents #85, #69, #62, #70 and #65 1. During an interview with Resident #85 in her room on D Hall at 5:30 p.m. on 01/24/11, testing found the surface temperature of the resident's heater, near the baseboard of her outside wall on the right side of her bed, was very hot to touch. The surface temperature, when measured with a thermometer, was found to be 162.9 degrees F. The resident, who currently occupied the bed nearest the heater, stated she knew it was hot and did not go over there. Observation found the thermostat which controls the heater in this room was set on 72 degrees F. This resident stated she did not adjust the thermostat herself. Following this observation, a random tour of the facility was conducted, and excessive surface temperatures were noted in rooms on each hallway of the facility as follows: 2. The heater in the room of Resident #69 (located on D Hall) was very warm to the touch. The surface temperature,… 2016-01-01

This had the potential to affect all residents. Facility census: 90. Findings include: a) The clean-up of the morning meal was observed at 8:30 - 9:00 a.m. on 01/26/11. The facility's cook (Employee #157) was asked about procedure for test strips to test sanitizer levels in the 3-compartment sink, which was used for any manual dish washing. She stated she tests all three (3) sinks every time she washes. She indicated that she did not know what color the strips should be or what the acceptable values were following the test. She stated she will get the answer. When asked to demonstrate the procedure she follows, Employee #157 tested the third sink (sink containing sanitizing solution) by immersing a test strip for approximately 30 seconds in the hot water. (The heater had just been turned off.) The posting adjacent to the sink directed staff to allow the water to cool to 75 degrees Fahrenheit (room temperature) prior to testing. During an interview on 01/26/11 at 11:32 a.m., the dietary manager (Employee #16) was asked what the acceptable parts per million (PPM) concentration was for the sanitizer solution test. She did not know what the minimum acceptable levels were. She referred to the label on the jug of chemicals, which stated an acceptable range of 150 to 400 PPM. During an interview on 01/26/11 at 11:00 a.m., the dietary assistant (Employee #59) was asked about the correct procedure for testing the sanitizer solution in the 3-compartment sink. She stated she was not familiar with the use of the sinks or strips and that she had only been at the facility for about six (6) months. Observations also determined that the posted testing instructions located adjacent to the sink differed from the instructions found on the contai… 2016-01-01

This was evident by the presence of canned goods in the emergency food supply being kept past their expiration dates and with other canned goods having no expiration date nor evidence of when those canned goods were stocked on the shelf, to ensure older stock was rotated out and used first. Facility census: 63. Findings include: a) Observation of the emergency food supply room, on 01/31/11 at 3:15 p.m., found four (4) 46-ounce cans of tomato juice with an expiration date of 12/04/10; three (3) 6 pound, 1 ounce cans of mandarin oranges with no expiration date on the cans and no date of when those cans were stocked on the shelf; and three (3) 6 pound 15 ounce cans of three-bean salad with no expiration date on the cans and no date of when those cans were stocked on the shelf. During interview with the dietary manager on 01/31/11 at 3:15 p.m., she acknowledged the cans of tomato juice were beyond the expiration date and she discarded them immediately. She also acknowledged the cans of mandarin oranges and three-bean salad (which had no expiration dates on them) should have been dated when they were placed on the shelves and were not. She said the cans without stock dates were probably supplied in October 2010 when the shelves were last restocked, but staff failed to date them as they should have. 2015-11-01

One (1) resident (#37) was provided a thinned diet which contained very little nutritive value; residents on pureed diets were provided foods which were too thin and ran onto each other when plated; and spaghetti was not portioned in a manner which assured portions as directed by the menu. Resident #37 was affected, as were all other residents who received nourishment from the dietary department. Resident identifier: #37. Facility census: 84. Findings include: a) Resident #37 Observation of the preparation of this resident's meal, at noon on 01/27/11, revealed dietary staff was adding water to portions of pureed foods and was attempting to push the foods through a small strainer. A small amount of thin liquid came through the strainer. Staff then added more water and pushed it through. This continued until a portion of watery food substance was acquired for each food item. At 12:00 p.m. on 01/27/11, this was discussed with the dietary manager (DM - Employee #61), who stated the resident's family wanted the resident to be able to drink his meal through a straw. When the nutritional content of the meal as prepared was discussed, the DM confirmed the manner dietary staff were preparing this resident's meals was not a method which assured the provision of adequate nutrition. When asked if this had been assessed by the consultant registered dietitian (RD), the DM was unsure.

The facility had an insulated cooler in the walk-in refrigerator, in which were stored individual pats of butter. On 01/25/11 at approximately 11:00 a.m., the surveyor checked the temperature of the individual pats of butter while they were stored in the cooler located inside the refrigerator; the temperature registered at 45 degrees Fahrenheit (F). The surveyor explained to the dietary manager (DM - Employee #61) that the insulation in the cooler prevented the cool air from the refrigerator from reaching the products stored inside. An acceptable cool temperature for these pats of butter would register at 41 degrees F or cooler. The DM acknowledged the 45 degree F temperature was too warm. b) At 11:00 a.m. on 01/25/11, a walk through of the kitchen was completed with the dietary manager (DM). The following sanitation infractions were identified: 1. A dietary staff member was washing pots and pans in the 3-compartment sink. She was asked to test the chlorine solution in the sanitizing sink. A test strip was inserted, but there was no color chart accessible to use to check the chlorine test strips for adequate concentration of chlorine. 2.

The surveyor, on 02/01/11 at 10:36 a.m., then questioned the director of nursing (DON - Employee #15) and the administrator (Employee #25) as to where this information might be. After searching for the missing data, the administrator informed the surveyor that it had been found in a notebook that a confused resident (#61) had been given to put paperwork in. This resident had been known to remove posted items from bulletin boards, and staff would be unable to locate them. The facility provided her with a notebook, which would give staff some idea where to begin looking when things were missing. According to the administrator, this happened frequently, and staff would look once a week to see things were posted as necessary. If not, they would search the notebook. 2015-10-01
