Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed, for one (1) of forty (40) Stage II sample residents, to develop a care plan to include measurable objectives and timetables to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs. Resident #21 was admitted for a planned short rehabilitation stay and remained in the facility after rehabilitation goals had been met. No care plan was implemented to address the resident's discharge needs. The resident also was known to be at risk for falls at the time of admission, and no care plan goals and interventions were developed to address the risk. The resident did incur additional falls. Resident identifier: #21. Facility census: 77. Findings include: a) Resident #21 1. When reviewed on 04/25/11, the medical record for Resident #21 revealed an admission date of [DATE]. According to a discharge summary report (dated 10/26/10) from the hospital where she was last admitted , this [AGE] year old female had fallen from bed in her home and sustained "multiple bilateral lower extremity fractures". Review of the physician's determination of capacity for this resident divulged that, at the time of admission (10/26/10), the resident's attending physician determined she did not have the capacity to understand and make health care decisions. This determination was changed on 01/03/11, when it was determined at that time that she did possess the capacity to make those decisions. An entry in social service (SS) notes, dated 11/09/10, stated: "D/C (discharge) plans are to return home." Again on 11/24/10, a SS note stated: "D/c plans remain to return home. No d/c date at this time." On 01/17/11, a SS note stated: "She plans to rehab & return home. MPOA (medical power of attorney) states resident will be LTC (long term care)."

Based on record review, observation, staff interview, and review of information from the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP), the facility failed to revise the care plans of two (2) of forty (40) Stage II sample residents, when changes occurred in their health condition and/or treatment plan. Resident #28 was a [AGE] year old female with severe contractures and a history of pressure sores. The resident's right leg was severely contracted, which caused the resident's right heel to push into the resident's buttocks. The staff had been applying heel protectors to the resident's heels to reduce pressure to these areas; the heel protectors were discontinued on 02/10/11, with no other intervention(s) added to address this unrelieved pressure against the right heel. The pressure on the heel from constant contact with buttocks resulted in a suspected deep tissue injury, which was identified on 04/03/11. At that time, the facility failed to identify this constant pressure as the cause of the pressure sore, and failed to revise her care plan to include measures to reduce / relieve this pressure until after the physical therapist was consulted on 04/19/11. Resident #41's care plan was not revised to reflect the application of a hand roll to address contractures of the resident's left hand. Facility census: 77. Findings include: a) Resident #28 Record review revealed Resident #28 was a [AGE] year old female with severe contractures and a history of pressure sores. A review of Resident #28's minimum data set assessment (MDS), an abbreviated quarterly assessment with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 01/18/11, revealed the assessor identified, in Section G, that Resident #28 was totally dependent on staff for the performance of all activities of daily living and had functional limitations in range of motion in both upper and lower extremities. In Section K, the assessor noted she did not have a significant weight loss either in the previou… | 2014-01-01 | ||

Based on medical record review, review of facility incident / accident reports, observation, and staff interview, the facility failed, for one (1) of forty (40) Stage II sample residents, to care plan and/or implement measures to promote safety related to falls. Resident #21 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], after having been hospitalized for [REDACTED]. Interventions to promote safety related to falls were not addressed in her care plan until two (2) months after her admission, when the physician ordered a bed alarm on 12/28/10. Additional interventions (to include placing the resident's bed in a low position) were not added to the resident's care plan until the resident sustained [REDACTED]. When observed on 04/26/11, Resident #21 was observed to be asleep in her bed, but her bed was not in the low position as care planned. Resident identifier: #21. Facility census: 77.

Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to provide daily restorative nursing services for residents designated to receives those services. Record review revealed specific written plans to meet specific goals for residents in the restorative nursing program. However, restorative aides were, at times, pulled to work the floor in the capacity of a nursing assistant due to staffing shortages, leaving the restorative nursing services undone. During interviews with certified nursing assistants (CNAs) conducted on 09/22/10, seven (7) of eight (8) CNAs interviewed reported they do not follow the restorative nursing plan; rather, they perform range of motion to restorative residents the same as they do to all dependent residents during the performance of activities of daily living. Resident identifiers: #10, #12, #49, #56, #57, #59, #61, #65, #70, #73, #77 #81, and #82. Facility census: 101.

The facility allowed a health care surrogate (HCS) to transfer decision-making authority to a different family member when the HCS was unavailable. Resident identifier: #4. Facility census: 29. Findings include: a) Resident #4 Review of Resident #4's medical record found the treating physician determined the resident lacked capacity to understand and make informed medical decisions on 04/17/09. The physician appointed Family Member #1 to act as the resident's HCS. Further review found a handwritten, notarized document which appeared to be authored by Family Member #1, transferring the health care decision-making authority to Family Member #2 in the event Family Member #1 could not be reached. On 05/28/09 at 1:00 p.m., the document was shown to two (2) facility nurses (Employees #24 and #27). Each was asked what they would do if Family Member #1 could not be reached to make a health care decision. Both stated that, because the document was notarized, they would contact Family Member #2 to make health care decisions. Review of section 16-30-8 (a) of the West Virginia Health Care Decisions Act found the following language, "When a person is or becomes incapacitated, the attending physician or the advanced nurse practitioner with the assistance of other health care providers as necessary, shall select, in writing, a surrogate." The facility allowed a HCS to transfer medical decision-making authority to another individual in violation of the West Virginia Health Care Decisions Act. Only the attending physician or advanced nurse practitioner may select a surrogate decision-maker. . | 2014-01-01 | ||

At times, a bed bath was provided instead of a shower. At other times, it was not possible to ascertain what type of hygiene was provided, if any. During interview with this resident on 08/30/10, she said she likes showers but sometimes doesn't get them, because staff is too busy. When asked if this was true even recently in the past month or so, she replied in the affirmative. - b) Resident #66 Medical record review, with Employee #33 on 08/31/10 at 4:30 p.m., revealed this resident did not received a scheduled shower on 08/02/10, 08/16/10, 08/23/10, or 08/26/10 on the 3-11 shift.

Resident identifier: #28. Facility census: 49. Findings include: a) Resident #28 Record review revealed Resident #28 was admitted to Summersville Memorial Hospital's skilled nursing unit on [DATE], and expired at the facility on [DATE]. Review of the resident trust fund accounting information revealed the facility paid a total of $733.01 to Summersville Memorial Hospital from Resident #28's personal fund account maintained by the facility on [DATE], [DATE], and [DATE], for services incurred at Summersville Memorial Hospital on [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], and [DATE] - all of which were debts made prior to her admission to the skilled nursing unit. During a telephone interview with the resident's former medical power of attorney representative (MPOA) and spouse on [DATE] at approximately 8:00 p.m., they spoke their belief that the facility should have forwarded any extra money the resident had in her personal account to the resident's burial fund rather than paying bills that were five (5), six (6), and seven (7) years old and which incurred when she resided in the acute care portion of the facility. During an interview with the staff member responsible for patient accounts (Employee #130) on [DATE] at 9:30 a.m., she said the skilled nursing unit is a subdivision of Summersville Memorial Hospital, and their tax identification numbers are the same.

Based on observation, resident interview and staff interview, the facility staff failed to treat residents with respect. Staff walked past Resident #71 who was requesting assistance without acknowledging her presence or her request. When interviewed, Resident #71 (who was alert and oriented) reported staff members frequently did not identify themselves to her when giving her care. The resident said she felt like staff treated her like a child. This was observed to be true for one (1) of four (4) sampled residents. Resident identifier: #71. Facility census: 118. Findings include: a) Resident #71 At the initial unannounced entrance to the facility on [DATE] at 3:30 p.m., Resident #71 was observed standing in the doorway of her room waving a water pitcher in the air and saying in a loud voice, "I need some water. Will you get me some water?" As she was making this request, staff members were observed to walk past her and not pay attention to her. A nurse was down the hall passing medications, and two (2) nursing assistants walked past her without saying anything. Resident #71, when interviewed at 4:10 p.m. on 10/17/10, stated she had tried to get the staff to help her several times, but "some of them just run from you." When asked if she knew the names of the staff members that she has difficulty getting help from, she stated, "No, because they do not tell you their name and probably don't want you to know it." She then named several staff members who did treat her respectfully and stated, "They were wonderful and very nice, but some of them just run from you and ignore you." The resident stated, "I do not appreciate being treated like I am a child." This surveyor turned on the call light in Resident #71's room at 4:15 p.m. on 10/17/10. The call light was promptly answered at 4:16 p.m. A nursing assistant (Employee #56) came in the room and asked, "What do you need?" while walking past this resident and looking at the roommate.

Based on observation, confidential family interview, and staff interview, the facility did not always honor residents' food likes and dislikes. Resident #78 was served beets for dinner, even though this was specifically listed on her tray card as one (1) of the two (2) food items this resident did not like. This was identified during one (1) random meal observation on 10/17/10. Facility census: 118. Findings include: a) Resident #78 During initial tour of the facility on 10/17/10 at 3:40 p.m., interviews were conducted with family members and alert / oriented residents. In one (10 confidential interview, a family member who visited frequently reported the facility staff did not honor residents' food preferences, stating, When you tell them you do not like something, you seem to get it anyway." This family member did report that staff will obtain substitute food items upon request. During an observation on 10/17/10 at 6:00 p.m., a test tray was requested to replace the last tray served on the hall (to check the temperature of food items at the time of service). This tray was intended for Resident #78. The temperature of food items on the tray were within an acceptable temperature range. Observation found the meal served to Resident #78 consisted of Swedish meatballs, pasta, beets, peaches, and milk. Review of Resident #78's tray card, which lay beside the plate on her tray, disclosed two (2) items listed under "dislikes" - beets and green beans. According to assessment information provided by the facility, Resident #78 was not able to participate in an interview due to cognitive impairment. Her food was pureed, and she was fed by staff. She would not have been able to request a substitute for the beets. The dietary manager, who was present at the time of this observation at 6:00 p.m. on 10/17/10, verified that beets were listed as a dislike on this resident's tray card. A new tray was requested for this resident following the testing of her tray. . | 2014-02-01 | ||

Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to post - accurately and at the beginning of each shift - the required information to identify the staff members providing care and the census of the facility. Observation, on 10/17/10 at 3:40 p.m., found the posted nurse staffing information was dated 10/16/10, and the census information was absent. This practice has the potential to affect all residents and visitors. Facility census: 118 Findings include: a) Observation of the facility's posted nursing staffing data, on 10/17/10 at 3:40 p.m., found the posting was dated 10/16/10. The only nursing staffing data recorded on this posting was for the day shift of 10/16/10, and there was no resident census information recorded as required.

Based on observation, staff interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to revise the nutrition care plan and Kardex used by nursing assistants caring for Resident #50 to accurately reflect the services to be furnished to the resident following a significant change in the resident's status, after she received a fracture to the right arm and became totally dependent on staff for eating. This was true for one (1) of four (4) sampled residents. Resident identifier: #50. Facility census: 118. Findings include: a) Resident #50 Observation of the evening meal, on 10/17/10 at 6:00 p.m., found Resident #50 being fed by a family member. Resident #50's right arm was in a sling, and she was not moving her arm. A second observation of this resident, in the dining room during the noon meal on 10/18/10, found her being fed by a nursing assistant; the resident was totally dependent on staff for eating and drinking. She was not initiating any movement of her right arm to participate in the task of eating. In an interview with the nursing assistant providing care to Resident #50 (Employee #26) on 10/19/10 at 10:00 a.m., Employee #26 was questioned about the amount of assistance Resident #50 required with meals. Employee #26 stated the resident could not move her right arm and she required total assistance with meals. Review of Resident #50's medical record disclosed a significant change in status minimum data set (MDS) was completed on 09/27/10. According to this assessment, the resident was totally dependent on one (1) staff member for eating. Review of her current care plan found the resident's nutrition plan was not reviewed or revised following her change in condition. The interventions listed for maintaining the resident's weight still stated, "Assist resident with meals to extent needed." It was not specific to the amount of staff assistance she needed with eating. This approach was written on 04/27/10, and was reviewed on 07/16/10, but it was not revised after the resident's significant change assessment on… | 2014-02-01 | ||

Based on observation, staff interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure one (1) of four (4) sampled residents, who had limited range of motion (ROM) of the left hand, received appropriate treatment and services to prevent further decrease in ROM. Resident identifier: #134. Facility census: 140. Findings include: a) Resident #134 Review of the resident's medical record did not find any evidence that a brace was supposed to be put on the resident. Observations made on 10/06/10, during the day at 9:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m., did not find evidence of a brace on the resident's left hand and wrist. On 10/07/10, a brace was found on the resident's left hand at 10:25 a.m., and the nursing assistant (NA - Employee #17) was in the room providing care for the resident, when interviewed, stated he did not care for the resident on a regular basis and did not know about the splint. A licensed practical nurse (LPN - Employee #132) who provided care for the resident, when interviewed at 10:30 a.m. on 10/07/10, said she thought therapy was supposed to get the resident a new brace, but she was not sure if it had been ordered yet. At 11:00 a.m. on 10/07/10, the interim director of nursing (DON) reported the resident was "on the therapy board" but, due to issues with payment, therapy was only doing evaluations for her. Interview with the assessment nurse, on 10/07/10 at 1:30 p.m., found the resident did not have a care plan for a splint, as there was no physician's order for one. Interview the rehab program director (Employee #105), at 1:45 p.m. on 10/07/10, found she did not start here until July 2010 and did not know about any issues regarding this resident. Employee #105 later said the rehab program was going to pick up the resident again and try to do some therapy for her. At 2:10 p.m. on 10/07/10, the occupational therapist (OT - Employee #162) said a new brace with finger separators would be ordered for the resident, and s… | 2014-02-01 | ||

Based on observation, resident interview, staff interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure staff provided necessary assistance to maintain good grooming and personal hygiene for (1) of four (4) sampled residents who was unable to do so for herself. Resident #134 did not always receive mouth care, which she was unable to do for herself. The resident expressed that she would like to get out of bed for short periods of time but was not able to get out of bed by herself and was not gotten up by staff. Resident identifier: #134. Facility census: 140. Findings include: a) Resident #134 1. Observations made with a licensed practical nurse (LPN - Employee #132) and a nursing assistant (NA - Employee #17), on 10/07/10 at 10:30 a.m., found the resident's teeth had food debris on them. The resident, when interviewed, reported she had not received mouth care that day or on other days on a regular basis. She stated she had her own teeth and said she had to ask staff to clean her teeth, in order to get them taken care of. The NA reported he cleaned her teeth whenever she asked him to. The resident was observed again with the interim director of nursing (DON) at 11:00 a.m. on 10/07/10. Review of the resident's care plan, dated 06/22/09, found the resident was to be assisted with oral care as needed. - 2.

Based on a review of the resident council minutes, medical record review, resident interview, family interview, and staff interview, the facility did not ensure all complaints made by residents, families, or responsible parties were documented and investigated. In addition, the facility did not follow up with those individuals making the complaints, to let them know the outcome of the complaint investigation and the resolution to the issue. Resident identifier: #66. Facility census: 120. Findings include: a) Resident #66 During tour of the facility on 10/03/10, a family interview revealed Resident #66 had experienced some problems with having to sit in a soiled brief for a long period of time. The resident had wanted to attend a church service but had to wait for a long time before she could go, because staff was not available to change her soiled brief. On 10/04/10 at approximately 9:00 a.m., telephone contact with Resident #66's family revealed this incident took place in September 2010. The family member indicated there were problems with getting assistance from nurse aides on the last two (2) Sundays in September. The family member reported nurse aides told her they could not assist in changing Resident #66's brief until the lunch trays were picked up. The family member related that, on 09/19/10, she had complained to staff but did not put her complaint in writing. On 09/26/10, she did write a letter listing her concerns about staff not assisting Resident #66 with incontinence care. The family member put the letter under the administrator's door. The administrator confirmed this did occur and that he passed the letter along to Employee #50, the unit manager on the hall where Resident #66 lives. In an interview on 10/04/10 at approximately 11:00 a.m., Employee #50 (registered nurse unit manager) confirmed she had received this letter from the administrator.

Based on record review, observation, family interview, and staff interview, the facility failed to clean the floor adequately for one (1) of eight (8) sampled residents. Numerous observations of the resident's floor found it to be sticky, even after having been recently mopped. This stickiness had the potential to affect the steadiness of the gait of the resident who was known to ambulate within the room independently; it also compromised safety of others, as it had the potential to harbor bacteria that could be transmitted throughout the facility on the soles of shoes of all staff who entered the room. Resident identifier: #61. Facility census: 120. Findings include: a) Resident #61 Record review revealed Resident #61's [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. During interview with the nurse unit manager (Employee #51) on 10/19/10 at 4:30 p.m., she said Resident #61's physician orders [REDACTED]. Resident #61 experienced a fall in early October, but x-rays completed af the emergency room ruled out any new fractures; she was wearing hipsters at the time of the fall. Currently, she was on the waiting list for inpatient care at a behavioral health / medicine center related to problem behaviors that were not able to successfully be redirected. Observation of the resident throughout the survey found she walked in her room independently, ambulated to the toilet independently, and was observed closing the door to the hallway on more than one (1) occasion. Observation of the resident's floor, on 10/18/10 at 3:00 p.m., revealed the floor was sticky in a wide area around all sides of the bed. The sticky floor was also observed by the life-safety code (LSC) surveyor who brought it to the attention of Employee #133 (the environmental service director), who immediately called staff to mop the floor. Observation, on 10/18/10 at 5:30 p.m., found the floor had dried and was just as sticky as it had been previously. Observation of the floor, on 10/19/10 at 9:00 a.m., found t… | 2014-02-01 | ||

Based on family interview, medical record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to monitor the effectiveness of treatment after administration of Tylenol for a new development of fever and in the presence of other symptoms and complaints; the facility also failed to monitor the temperature of a dependent resident with a history of repeated urinary tract infections after a new onset of fever early in the morning. This was evident for one (1) of six (6) sampled residents. Resident identifier: #51. Facility census: 120. Findings include: a) Resident #51 During an interview via telephone on 10/18/10, Resident #51's family member stated that, on 01/10/10 Resident #51 developed a high fever and was medicated with a fever-reducing medication, and five (5) hours elapsed before his temperature was re-checked by staff. By this time, he was totally unresponsive and the fever had elevated even more. Subsequently, he was transported to the hospital for a twelve (12) day stay. Upon his return to the facility, the pressure ulcer on his coccyx had worsened to a Stage IV wound, and he required a wound VAC after the area was surgically debrided during the hospitalization . Medical record review revealed Resident #51's temperature was 100.9 degrees Fahrenheit (F) on 01/10/10 at 3:30 p.m., and he was medicated with [MEDICATION NAME]. The physician was notified, and new orders were received for a urinalysis and culture to be obtained the following day. Further medical record review revealed that, at 5:30 p.m. on 01/01/10, he refused dinner and complained of not feeling well. The nurse documented his refusal to go to the emergency room . There was no evidence that his temperature was monitored at this time, to ascertain whether the [MEDICATION NAME] was effective in reducing his temperature, and there was not evidence to reflect the family was notified of the fever. It was not until 8:00 p.m. on 01/01/10 that the nurse again assessed him again; she do… | 2014-02-01 | ||

Based on observation, resident interview, staff interview, medical record review, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure one (1) of ten (10) sampled residents received the maximum benefit of each aerosolized treatment ordered by her physician. Resident #111, whose [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. She had a physician's order permitting her to self-administer the aerosolized treatments; however, there was no evidence the interdisciplinary team completed an assessment to ensure the resident was capable of reliably self-administering these treatments, and this self-administration of aerosolized medications was not addressed on her care plan. Licensed nursing staff was aware Resident #111 did not self-administer these treatments in an effective manner, and they did not provide additional monitoring / supervision to ensure she received the maximum benefit of each treatment. Additionally, licensed nursing staff did not complete pre- and post-treatment assessments that would allow them to determine whether the treatments were effective. Resident identifier: #111. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) Resident #111 1. Observation, during tour on 12/06/10 at 2:10 p.m., found Resident #111 sitting in her room holding a medicine cup attached to a nebulizer. The medicine cup had a small amount of liquid in it. The resident stated she needed her breathing treatment set up, that she was supposed to have received it at 1:00 p.m. The resident stated she asked both a nursing assistant and her nurse (Employee #21, a licensed practical nurse - LPN) for the treatment. In an interview on 12/06/10 at 2:15 p.m., Employee #21 said she set up the treatment for [REDACTED].

Based on observation, staff interview, and a confidential resident group interview, the facility failed to ensure resident privacy was maintained during showers. The men's and women's shower rooms shared a common whirlpool area, and the privacy curtains separating these areas could not be pulled closed to ensure privacy during bathing. This had the potential to affect any resident showered in the central shower rooms at the facility. Facility census: 56. Findings include: a) During a tour of the facility on 10/13/10 at 2:00 p.m., the men's and women's shower rooms were visited by two (2) health facility surveyors. The doors to the shower rooms were separate, but once inside the shower rooms, the men's and women's rooms were connected via a common whirlpool area with full visual access from either side. There were tracks for two (2) sets of privacy curtains, one (1) on either side of the whirl pool area. The only side that had privacy curtains was located on the women's side, and one (1) of the surveyors was unable to pull closed the privacy curtains on this side. The privacy curtains were observed with the facility's administrator at 2:05 p.m. with both surveyors present. The administrator reported that men and women were not showered at the same time. Two (2) nursing assistants (Employees #7 and #54), whom the administrator indicated were shower aides for that day, were interviewed. They indicated they showered about thirty (30) residents on that particular day and finished before noon. They said they did not shower men and women at the same time. During a resident group interview on 10/14/10 at approximately 3:00 p.m., two (2) of four (4) female residents in the group reported they were given showers within the past week while men were in the common shower area at the same time. They reported the privacy curtains could not be pulled all the way closed in order to prevent others from observing while they are taking a shower. They also reported they were able to see the male residents in the shower. This was co… | 2014-02-01 | ||

Based on medical record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the care plan of one (1) of four (4) sampled residents was revised to reflect the resident's current problems and needs. The lack of an updated care plan resulted in a lack of goals and interventions to address the most current issues facing the resident. The facility had relocated the resident to a different area of the building in a room by himself, and the care plan failed to address this change in environment and the potential negative impact it could have on the resident. Resident identifier: #28. Facility census: 86. Findings include: a) Resident #28 Record review revealed a social work progress note documenting Resident #28's move to a room on second floor on 09/02/10, due to safety concerns surrounding his aggressive behaviors towards other residents. The resident had spent approximately ten (10) days in an inpatient acute psychiatric hospital from 08/03/10 through 08/13/10, due to increased aggressive behaviors. On 09/02/10, the facility moved Resident #28 to a semi-private room without a roommate on second floor, in order to ensure the safety of other residents and to monitor Resident #28's behavior. The facility also placed an alarm on a gate across the doorway which would sound when the resident came in and out of his room during the night time hours. Resident #28 came to the facility in February 2008. He had lived in a room on first floor with two (2) other roommates for over two (2) years. Due to his increased negative behaviors and the guardian's lack of acceptance of alternatives to promote the safety of the roommates (such as the use of a bed alarm on Resident #28 to alert staff when he was transferring out of bed), the facility elected to move the resident to ensure safety of others and to monitor for further agitation and negative behaviors.

Based on medical record review, staff interview, and review of the WV Medicaid program manual for nursing facilities, the facility failed to coordinate their assessments with the preadmission screening and resident review (PASRR) program under Medicaid as required. The facility readmitted a resident from an inpatient psychiatric stay prior to receiving approval by the State-designated reviewing agency - West Virginia Medical Institute (WVMI), which resulted in the resident having no payer source to cover his continued stay at the facility when it was determined by WVMI that he was no longer medical eligible for nursing home placement under WV Medicaid criteria. Resident identifier: #56. Facility census: 112. Findings include: a) Resident #56 Record review revealed Resident #56 came to the facility on [DATE] with a pre-admission screening form (PAS-2000) signed by the physician on 01/18/10, who indicated his primary [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. This PAS-2000 was reviewed by WVMI on 01/20/10, at which time the reviewer determined Resident #56 was medically eligible, under the WV Medicaid criteria, for nursing facility services and that a Level II evaluation was necessary. A Level II evaluator determined Resident #56 did not require specialized services for mental illness or mental [MEDICAL CONDITION] on 01/22/10. Resident #56's initial PAS-2000 indicated he was appropriate for nursing home placement for a period of up to six (6) months, after which another PAS-2000 would have to be completed for his nursing home stay to continue to be paid for by WV Medicaid. During this six-month period, Resident #56 was admitted for inpatient psychiatric services from 05/28/10 until 06/09/10, when he was readmitted to the nursing home. A second PAS-2000, signed by a physician on 06/15/10, indicated Resident #56 needed nursing home services and was not likely to eventually return home. On 06/17/10, a reviewer from WVMI denied the request for nursing home admission … | 2014-02-01 | ||

Resident identifiers: #65, #3, #4, and #81. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) Resident #65 Record review (on 01/06/09) revealed the resident had a Stage II pressure ulcer to the coccyx which was recorded as being healed on 12/02/08. This information was noted on the December 2008 treatment administration record and a nurse's note dated 12/02/08. A skin assessment, dated 12/20/08, recorded no pressure ulcer(s) present at that time. Review of the resident's MDS, with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 12/24/08, found the assessor recorded in Section M1 the resident had one (1) Stage II ulcer. The MDS nurse (Employee #23) was interviewed on 01/07/09 about the information coded in Section M1 of the MDS. After reviewing the issue, she verified the MDS was coded incorrectly. On 01/08/09 at 11:05 a.m., the MDS nurse provided a copy of a corrected MDS, with an ARD of 12/24/08. In Section M1, the assessor documented no pressure ulcer(s). b) Resident #31 Review (on 01/07/09) of the admission MDS, completed on 12/24/08, revealed the assessor indicated, in Section I2, the resident had an antibiotic-resistant infection. Interview with the director of nursing (DON - Employee #2), at about 6:00 p.m. on 01/07/09, and review of the laboratory reports confirmed that, when the resident was admitted on [DATE], the resident had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. c) Resident #40 Review (on 01/06/09) of the quarterly MDS, completed on 11/12/08, revealed the assessor indicated the resident was non-ambulatory and incontinent of bladder.

Resident identifiers: #36, #10, #97, #28, #62, and #81. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) Resident #36 Review of the interdisciplinary care plan for Resident #36, found a sixty-four (64) paged document consisting of pre-printed problems, goals, and interventions with blanks to be filled in to make the care plan individualized. The care plan was hard to follow, and it did not always accurately reflect what problems the resident was experiencing for which specific interventions were being applied. 1. This resident had a history of [REDACTED]. devices. There was a different care plan for each device. The problem statements and goals were the same for each device, and each began with the statement: "Refer to the physical restraint / enabler assessment." 2. The physical restraint / enabler care plan was reviewed. This care plan was dated 12/05/08. The plan did not have a problem statement, goal, or interventions to achieve the goal. The care plan simply said, "Refer to the physical restraint / enabler assessment." The goal associated with this problem was "(Resident) will be free of negative effects with the use of an enabler." This goal did not address what the resident would achieve through the use of the device, i.e., improve functioning, increased independence, etc.) Review of the interventions associated with this goal found no measures to assist the resident in achieving the stated goal.

Resident #10 was receiving intravenous (IV) fluids on an "as needed" (PRN) basis for her poor fluid intake, and her fluid intake and output were not being accurately monitored; this same resident was observed to have severely contracted hands, and she did not have rolled wash cloths or any type of devices in her hands for positioning to prevent further contractures. The facility also failed to staff applied double geri-gloves and elevated the heels of Resident #40 as ordered by the physician. Resident identifiers: #97, #10, and #40. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) Resident #97 Record review found a nursing note recording the resident requested pain medication at 10:50 a.m. on 12/18/08. The nurse noted having instructed the resident that her "pain medications are scheduled". There was no evidence that the nurse assessed the pain or offered her one (1) of her prescribed PRN medications for breakthrough pain. Another nursing note, dated 12/30/08 at 1:30 p.m., stated, "Resident belligerent with staff today about her pain medicine ([MEDICATION NAME]).

This practice has the potential to affect all residents who receive nourishment from the dietary department. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) At 2:30 p.m. on 01/05/09, observations, during the initial tour of the dietary department, revealed two (2) trays of cups and five (5) trays of cereal bowls; the cups and bowls were inverted on a synthetic shelving mat on flat trays prior to air drying. The cups and bowls were observed with trapped moisture, creating a medium for bacterial growth. The assistant dietary manager (Employee #45) was present and confirmed the identified problem. b) Observation with the dietary manager (Employee #42), on the afternoon on 01/07/09, again revealed inverted cups on a flat tray with a shelving mat which prevented the cups from proper air drying. The tray was observed under the area where the residents' food trays were served in the dining room. . | 2014-02-01 | ||

Subsequently, the facility had no data by which analyze infection control data for trends and clusters. Organisms were not identified on the infection incidence log, nor were they tracked for infection control purposes. There was no evidence that clusters were identified. This was evident for four (4) of twenty (20) sampled residents. Resident identifiers: #11, #65, #75, and #35. Also, Resident #97 reported improper perineal care that could potentially cause a UTI from fecal contamination. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) Residents #11 and #85 Resident #11 experienced repeated UTIs colonized with Escherichia coli (E. coli), bacteria found in feces. Record review revealed positive urine cultures for E. coli on the following dates: 05/18/08, 06/21/08, 08/28/08, 10/20/08, 12/07/08. Other organisms cultured included Alpha Streptococcus and [MEDICATION NAME] species on 07/25/08. Resident #11's roommate, Resident #85, also experienced UTIs as evidenced by positive urine cultures of E. coli with colony counts greater than 100,000 for the following dates: 09/23/08 and 11/03/08. Resident #85 also had a UTI identified in the emergency roiagnom on [DATE] (which was treated with Cipro), but the facility was unable to produce that culture report. Review of the facility's most recent quarter's infection incidence rate report (October, November, and December 2008) found Resident #11's E. Coli infections were not recorded for either October or December. With permission, perineal care was observed for Resident #85 on 01/07/09 at 1:45 p.m., after an episode of urinary incontinence.

This was evident for four (4) of six (6) residents on the 300 Hall (Residents #2, #21, #26, and #108) and three (3) residents on the 400 Hall (Residents #48, #62, and #105), whose oxygen delivery supplies were not being changed weekly in accordance with facility policy. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) Residents #2, #21, #26, and #108 During initial tour of the 300 Hall on 01/05/09 at approximately 2:30 p.m., observation found four (4) of the six (6) residents on that hall had oxygen (02) concentrators with oxygen delivery tubing dated 12/20/08. This was true for Residents #2, #21, #26, and #108. Resident #108 also had a nebulizer tubing and mask dated 12/20/08. (A fifth resident was receiving oxygen but refused the surveyor admittance into her room.) These findings were reported to the nurse (Employee #27) at approximately 2:55 p.m. 01/05/09, who reported that oxygen tubing was to be changed weekly. After checking the above referenced residents, she said she would see they were taken care of and would notify the nurse covering the 300 Hall. b) Residents #48, #62, and #105 On the morning of 01/07/09, observation found two (2) residents on the 400 Hall (Residents #48 and #62) with had no dates on their oxygen tubings. Also on 400 Hall, Resident #105 had a nebulizer tubing dated 12/02/08. These findings were reported, and the tubings were shown to the nurse (Employee #35). When asked who typically changed the oxygen tubing, she replied they were changed weekly, and that Employee #16 usually changed them. c) On 01/06/09 at approximately 2:00 p.m., the facility's Oxygen Administration policy was reviewed.

This was evident for three (3) of twenty (20) sampled residents and one (1) anonymous resident at the confidential resident group meeting. Resident identifiers: #51, #11, and #85. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) Resident #51 During an interview on 01/06/09 at approximately 3:00 p.m., Resident #51 reported a lack of privacy in the shower room. She stated she was able to see the buttocks and breasts of other female residents, and that she, too, was exposed to another person in the adjoining shower. There was a big curtain separating the doorway from the shower stalls, but she stated you could see around the curtain where it was not fully block the view. b) Resident #11 On 01/07/09 at 9:25 a.m., Resident #11 was observed during a shower with her permission. She was in the left shower stall being bathed by a nursing assistant, while another resident was in the right shower stall being bathed by a different nursing assistant. A divider shower curtain between the two (2) stalls was present but not being used. Rather, the shower curtain was against the wall behind a Hoyer lift. c) Resident #85 On 01/07/09 at 9:25 a.m., Resident #85 was observed during a shower with permission.

Staff applied socks to Resident #10's hands, which restricted movement, without a physicians' order. Documentation in the medical records of Residents #36, #5, #28, and #85 inconsistently addressed the purpose of lap buddies applied to prevent rising and subsequent falls; throughout their charts, staff referred to these devices as "enablers" instead of physical restraints. Resident #36 consistently resisted the use of her lap buddy, injuring herself when her device was being applied; a plan to address this, as well as a plan for the systematic / gradual reduction of the use of this device, was not initiated. Devices were not adequately addressed for five (5) of twenty (20) sampled residents. Resident identifiers: #10, #36, #35, #28, and #85. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) Resident #10 During an observation on 01/05/09 at 2:30 p.m., Resident #10 was laying in the bed with a sock applied to her right hand. This sock covered the resident's entire hand and was pulled up to the resident's elbow. Another observation, on 01/06/09 at 10:00 a.m., found socks present on both of the resident's hands, pulled up to her elbows. Review of the resident's medical record, including the monthly recapitulation of physician's orders (dated 01/01/09 through 01/31/09) revealed no active physician's order for any type of physical restraint, including the application of socks on this resident's hands.

The Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Determination, dated eleven (11) days prior to the current admission, stated that a Level II evaluation was required for this individual. However, the Level II evaluation itself was not completed prior to this admission to this facility. These findings were reported to Employee #8 on the morning of 01/08/09. She, in turn, referred the matter to the admissions / social worker to see if more information was on record in the social worker's office. On 01/08/09 at approximately 11:55 a.m., Employee #8 produced a Level II assessment signed by a supervised psychologist that was dated six (6) days after Resident #108's current admission.

The facility had a high number of residents with urinary tract infections (UTIs). The QAA committee failed to identify deficits in the infection control program (with respect to tracking infectious organisms, identifying trends through analysis of the facility's infection control data, and investigating the UTIs to identify any underlying causal or contributing factors) and failed develop / implement measures to address these deficits. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) Record review, during the facility's annual certification resurvey conducted from 01/05/09 through 01/08/09, revealed multiple residents with UTIs, several of whom had the same infectious organism and resided in the same location (same room and/or hall within the facility). On the afternoon of 01/06/09, the director of nursing (DON - Employee #2) was identified as the individual designated as responsible for infection control tracking. At this time, a copy of the November and December 2008 infection control tracking logs was requested and received.

Findings include: a) Interview with the facility's administrator and the maintenance director, on 10/04/10 at approximately 1:40 p.m., revealed the facility's heating boiler system was in need of repair. The boilers intended to heat the resident rooms and common areas had been inspected by a boiler inspector and were "red tagged" as not operational (prohibiting the use of the boiler system until defects in the system were corrected) during inspections dated 08/06/10 and 08/09/10. At the time of this interview, the administrator and maintenance director related a plan for the installation of a temporarily heating boiler for use during the winter until permanent repair / replacement of the existing heating boiler system could be implemented. This process would take approximately three (3) weeks, during which the facility had to solicit competitive bids for a temporary heating boiler before a contract could be awarded to a outside vendor for installation. - b) Ambient air temperatures of resident rooms were taken by the life-safety code (LSC) surveyor, accompanied by a licensed practical nurse (LPN - Employee #158), between the hours of 5:30 a.m. to 6:35 a.m. on 10/05/10.
