- F Inform resident or representatives choice to enter into binding arbitration agreement and right to refuse.
Inspectors wroteBased on document review and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure that the arbitration agreement provided to all facility residents, with a current census of 79 residents, was not required to sign an arbitration agreement as a condition of admission to, or as a requirement to continue to, receive care at the facility. Specifically, the facility failed to ensure the arbitration agreement was not mandatory for all residents admitted to the facility.
- F Provide a neutral and fair arbitration process and agree to arbitrator and venue.
Inspectors wroteBased on document review and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure that the arbitration agreement signed by all facility residents, with a current census of 79 residents, provided for the selection of a venue that was convenient to both parties. Specifically, the facility failed to ensure that a neutral venue available to both parties was documented within the arbitration agreement. This exclusion places facility residents and families at an unknown disadvantage in potential future disputes.
- E 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 observations, staff interviews, and policy review, the facility failed to maintain a safe, functional, and sanitary environment in the main dining room where 14 out of a total of 85 residents ate their meals. This failure had the potential to lead to the spread of infection or feelings of discomfort and dissatisfaction among residents.
- E Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, staff interviews, and document review, the facility failed to ensure that eight of the eight residents who received pureed diets out of a total of 85 residents received the foods as called for in the menus. These failures placed the eight residents at risk for weight loss, malnutrition, or dissatisfaction with their meals.
- E Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review, staff interviews, document review, policy review, and review of McGeer's criteria, the facility failed to have an Antibiotic Stewardship Program that followed current standards of practice for prescribing an antibiotic for five of five residents (Resident (R) 25, R62, R63, R46, and R50) reviewed for antibiotic stewardship out of total sample of 27 residents. This failure had the potential for residents to be prescribed unnecessary antibiotics.
- D Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, resident and staff interviews, record review, and review of the facility assessment, the facility failed to ensure one of 27 sampled residents (Resident (R) 107) had the needed adaptive equipment for meals. This deficient practice had the potential to place the resident at risk for an undignified existence.
- D Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's ability to function.
Inspectors wroteBased on staff interviews, record review, and review of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, text revision (DSM-5-TR), the facility failed to ensure one of five residents (Resident (R) 107) reviewed for unnecessary medications had an adequate indication for its use out of 27 sampled residents. This failure had the potential to place the resident at risk of receiving unnecessary medications.
- D Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review, staff interviews, policy review, and the review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, the facility failed to offer or provide documentation of consent or refusal for pneumonia vaccines for two of five residents (Residents (R)25 and R63) and/or their resident representatives (RR) out of 27 sampled residents. This failure had the potential to put these residents at increased risk of developing pneumonia.
