[...]
- B Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation and interview, the facility failed to maintain a homelike environment for one of 24 final sampled residents (Resident 72) and one nonsampled resident (Resident 4). * Resident 72 resided in Room A and Resident 4 resided in Room B. Rooms A and B were observed with scratches and unpainted areas on the walls, adjacent to the residents' bed. This failure had the potential to negatively impact the residents' quality of life.
- B Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman, before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide a notice of transfer/discharge to the Ombudsman for one of two sampled residents (Resident 109) reviewed for closed records. This failure posed the risk for Resident 109 and Resident 109's representative not being aware of their appeal rights and potentially jeopardizing the appeal process in the event Resident 109 and/or Resident 109's representative felt the facility-initiated transfer or discharge from the facility was inappropriate or involuntary.
- B Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure the medical record was complete and accurately maintained for one of 24 final sampled residents (Resident 8). * Resident 8's POLST and Advance Directive Acknowledgement form failed to show documentation as to whether Resident 8 had formulated an advance directive. This failure had the potential for the resident's wishes specific to health care interventions not being honored.

- D Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) remained free from the accident hazards. * CNA 1 had provided ADL care to Resident 1 in bed by herself instead of two or more persons to assist as per the resident's MDS and plan of care. When CNA 1 turned the resident to the right side, the resident rolled and fell off the bed to the floor sustaining multiple bruises and a skin tear to the right cheek. This failure had the potential for Resident 1 to sustain serious injury.

These failures had the potential to cause foodborne illnesses in a medically vulnerable resident population who consumed food prepared in the kitchen.
- D Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to obtain a copy of advance directive for one of 22 final sampled residents (Resident 44). This had the potential for the residents' advanced care planning decisions regarding the health care and treatment options not being honored.
- D Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview, medical record review, facility document review, and DHCS PASRR guidelines review, the facility failed to ensure PASRR Level II Mental Health Evaluation was conducted as required for two of 22 final sampled residents (Residents 44 and 60). This failure had the potential for the residents to not receive the specialized care and services appropriate for their condition.
- D Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Inspectors wroteBased on the observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services for one of 22 final sampled residents (Resident 36) and one nonsampled resident (Resident 35). * Resident 36's Floranex (probiotic supplement) was not administered as ordered by the physician. * Resident 35's florastor (probiotic supplement) and carbonyl iron (supplement) were not administered as ordered by the physician. These failures posed the risk for possible complications related to residents not receiving the prescribed medications.
- D Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services for one of 22 final sampled residents (Resident 45). * Resident 45 who had bilateral ½ sides in bed was not assessed for risk for entrapment. This failure posed the risk for injury from side rail use.
- D Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards.
Inspectors wroteBased on the observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to maintain the accurate medical record for one nonsampled resident (Resident 35). * LVN 1 documented on the MAR for Resident 35's Florastor (supplement) and carbonyl iron (iron supplement) as given when they were not administered during the medication administration observation. In addition, LVN 1 documented both of Resident 35's medications as administered even when they were not available. These failures had the potential for the resident's care not being met as his medication administration was inaccurate.
- D Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the appropriate infection control practices designed to provide a safe and sanitary environment were implemented. * The facility failed to use the appropriate disinfectant to clean the porous foam on Resident 45's bilateral siderails. This posed the risk for not adequately cleaning and disinfecting the resident's equipment.

Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure regular inspection of all bed frames, mattresses, and side rails as part of the regular maintenance program to identify areas of possible entrapment.
