Standard #: 22VAC40-73-280-A
Complaint related: Yes
Description: Based upon a review of resident records, staff work schedule, interviews, and documentation made on the Medication Variance Report by staff, the facility failed to ensure there were staff sufficient in numbers to provide services to attain and maintain the physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident as determined by resident assessments and individualized service plans, and to ensure compliance with this chapter.
Evidence: The Medication Variance Report (MVR) indicates that the following medications were given more than one hour after the dosing schedule due to med tech administering medications on the 4th floor on 1/3/2021:
Resident #1:
8am medications administered at approximately 9:33 am
Resident #5:
9am medications administered at approximately 10:55 am
Resident #8:
8am medications administered at approximately 9:38am
According to the MVR, 4pm medications were administered greater than one hour after the dosing schedule on 1/14/2021 for the following residents because the med tech assigned to administer medications was ?in a meeting at the time.?
Resident #3:
4pm medications were administered at approximately 6:10pm
Resident #9:
4pm medications were administered at approximately 5:40pm
The MVR indicates that on 1/16/2021, 8am and 9am medications were administered greater than one hour after the dosing schedule for the following residents due to "short staff."
Resident #3:
8am medications were administered at approximately 1:02pm
Resident #4:
9am medications were administered at approximately 12:59pm
Resident #5:
8am medications were administered at approximately 11:37am

8am medications were administered at approximately 10:23am
Resident #8:

Resident #9:
8am medications were administered at approximately 2:49pm
According to the work schedule provide by the facility, the staffing assignments for 1/16/2021 had the nurse on duty administering medications to the first floor from 7am to 3pm. The MVR and the January 2021 MARS indicate that the nurse on duty also administered medications to residents on the COVID unit located on the 4th floor (Residents #3,#4,#5,#6,#8, and #9). The shortage of staff on 1/16/2021 resulted in 8am medications being administered greater than one hour after the dosing schedule. On 2/22/2021, LI requested a copy of the January 2021 work schedule that would indicate any changes to the schedule such as call outs or substitutions. LI never received the requested document.

Plan of Correction: It is duly noted that the staffing may not have been at full capacity for residents 1, 3-7, 8 and 9 to attain and maintain the physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident during the time period in which the community was experiencing a COVID-19 virus outbreak that affected 49 residents and team members. We are taking the following steps for performance improvement to ensure compliance in this area of concern. The Executive Director (ED) will review staffing numbers with Resident Services Director (RSD) to ensure sufficient numbers are schedule to provide services to attain and maintain the physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident. The ED shall engage the clinical consultants for process improvement opportunities related to staff.

Standard #: 22VAC40-73-460-B
Complaint related: Yes
Description: Based upon interviews with residents and family members and review of facility reports, the facility failed to provide care and provision of services to residents that includes prompt response by staff to resident needs as reasonable to the circumstances.
Evidence: Resident #1 was moved to the COVID unit on 1/8/2021 and according to a collateral contact #1 it had been requested that her lift chair and incontinence pads be moved to the new room as the chair is needed to help with transferring and the incontinence pads to help with bladder incontinence. According to an interview with a collateral contact #1, the chair and the incontinence pads were moved approximately after 1pm on 1/9/2021. Collateral contact #1 reported that Resident #1 needed help in the bathroom on 1/20/2021 and called a family member when there was no response from the staff. According to collateral contact #1 a family member of Resident #1 stayed on the phone for approximately 45 minutes until staff arrived to help. An interview with collateral contact #1 revealed information that during the night of 1/12/2021 and early morning of 1/13/2021, the resident had pressed her call button for help because she could not breathe but no one came quickly. LI requested the Call Bell Response Reports on 2/3/2021 to determine the length of time staff were taking to respond to call bells. LI was not provided the requested report and was informed on 2/11/2021 that a system error had occurred with the call bell system which would not allow retrieval of the requested information. The administrator stated that the call bell system had to be rebooted which ?would cause a loss of date.? Due to the reboot the facility was not able to provide the requested information.
Interview with collateral contact #1 reported during the evening of 1/9/2021, a male resident wandered into the room of Resident #1 on the 4th floor COVID Unit. According to collateral contact #1, Resident #1 pushed her call bell multiple times with no response. Resident #1 then walked the male resident down the hall ?without finding anyone in the area.? Collateral contact #1 reported that Resident #1 sat with the male resident and waited for someone to return the area. Collateral contact #1 was unable to state how long Resident #1 had to wait for staff to arrive and did not know the name of the staff person who did arrive. The staff member who came to aide Resident #1 allegedly stated that she was ?covering the 2nd floor that night.?
Multiple interviews with collateral contact #2 yielded information regarding a lack of prompt response by staff to resident?s needs in regards to an order from the nurse practitioner (NP). The collateral contact reported that a resident complained of dizziness to the NP on 1/25/2021 and the NP put in a request for staff to take the resident?s vitals on 1/25/2021. Collateral contact #2 indicated that the resident did question staff about the NP?s request for the vitals be checked but the resident?s vitals were never checked.

Plan of Correction: It is duly noted that resident responses for assistance may have been temporarily delayed during the time period in which the community was experiencing a COVID-19 virus outbreak that affected 49 residents and team members. We are taking the following steps for performance improvement to ensure compliance in this area of concern. The Resident Services Director (RSD), or designee, will re-educate the care partners on the importance of prompt response to resident needs. The RSD shall engage the pharmacy partner and clinical consultants for process improvement opportunities related to prompt response by staff to resident needs.

Plan of Correction: It is duly noted that the Medication Administration Records (MARS) did not include initials of direct care staff administering medications to residents 3, 4, 6, and 7 during the time period in which the community was experiencing a COVID-19 virus outbreak that affected 49 residents and team members. We are taking the following steps for performance improvement to ensure compliance in this area. The Resident Services Director (RSD), or designee, will re-educate the medication care partners on ensuring their initials are documented on the MARS. The RSD shall engage the pharmacy partner and clinical consultants for process improvement opportunities related to initials on the MARS.
