    Inspectors wroteBased on observations, staff and resident interviews, record review, and review of the facility policy titled, Quality of Life - Dignity, the facility failed to promote care in a manner that maintained the resident's dignity and respect for one of 28 sampled residents (R) (R9). Specifically, staff provided personal hygiene and bathing assistance to R9 without providing full visual privacy by ensuring window blinds were closed and the privacy curtains encircled the bed. This failure had the potential to diminish the resident's quality of life in an environment that promotes the maintenance or enhancement of each resident's quality of life.

    Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.

    Inspectors wroteBased on observations, resident and staff interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure supervision was provided during resident showers for two of 28 sampled residents (R) (R39 and R57). This deficient practice had the potential to place R39 and R57 at risk of avoidable injuries.

    Inspectors wroteBased on observations, staff interviews, record review, and review of the facility policy titled, Oxygen Administration, the facility failed to provide necessary respiratory care consistent with professional standards of practice by not ensuring the oxygen equipment gauge was set on a prescribed flow rate. This affected one of 10 Residents (R) R41 receiving oxygen therapy. The deficient practice had the potential to prevent R41 from maintaining adequate oxygenation greater that 90 percent. The census was 58.

    Inspectors wroteBased on record review, staff interviews, and review of the facility policy titled, Care Plans-Comprehensive the facility failed to revise the comprehensive care plan for one of 21 residents (R# 31,) reviewed for care plans. Specifically, the facility failed to revise the care plan when R31 developed pressure ulcers after admission and did not include the current orders/approaches, such as the pillow and wedge, which were to be used in response to the resident's seven pressure ulcers. Actual harm was identified to have occurred when R31 developed seven avoidable pressure ulcers, which caused loss of multiple areas of healthy skin tissue/integrity as well as placed R31 at risk for pain, discomfort, and wound infection.
