REPORT TO THE JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

COUNTRYSIDE HOME BUILDING PROJECT PLAN DEVELOPMENT

PROGRESS REPORT

The key developments at Countryside Home during the last month are the results of the State's annual inspection and the Board of Trustees meeting with Architecture 2000 to review revised building construction and renovation proposals.

These events are related in that violations cited by the state surveyor's point to some of the limitations of the current facility in meeting requirements to accommodate individual needs and preferences in a dignified manner to enhance the residents' quality of life.

Countryside Home was issued four code violations by the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services, Bureau of Quality Assurance. These violations were NOT considered situations that put residents in immediate jeopardy or danger. The citations were rated at a harm level 2, on a scale of 1 to 4, with 4 being the most severe violation.

The facility had no code violations in its 1999 state survey. Five deficiencies were cited in the 1998 annual survey.

Countryside has implemented an immediate plan of correction to correct these deficiencies and to allege compliance with the federal and state codes. However, corrections for two federal deficiencies cited that relate to accommodation of resident needs are temporary solutions that should not be tolerated in the long term.

The County was found in violation of the code requirements to provide residents with dignified meal service. Surveyors observed the dining environment for residents served on their respective unit to be overcrowded and congested, with inappropriate arrangement of tables and chairs, and staff assisting residents in a less than dignified manner. Meal service is provided in the nursing unit lounges for residents that require varied levels of staff assistance and supervision according to individual care plans based on physical, medical, behavioral and cognitive ability. To correct this situation, the number of residents that can be appropriately served in the unit lounge is limited, and all other residents required to be transported off the unit to the main dining room and smaller lounge space in other areas available in the building. This requires staff to be off their assigned unit while transporting and assisting residents in the dining room.

The facility was also found in violation of the code requirements to provide residents with appropriate activities to meet residents' level of functioning. In the short term, activity staff hours have been increased and work schedules adjusted to provide additional activity time. Location of group activities and the scope, level and length of activities are being evaluated for appropriate scheduling. The current building layout hinders efficient utilization of activity staff. There is a lack of space for on-unit storage of program supplies and materials. Inadequate recreation space on the resident units may limit the number of residents that can participate or can cause an on-unit activity to interfere with the rights of residents not involved in an activity occurring in the same space. This requires transporting residents to another area in the facility. These situations take time away from staff's ability to conduct recreational activities for the residents.

Over the long term, these solutions for immediate correction of code violations will create further challenges given the chronic unavailability of certified direct care staff. The tremendous amount of staff time required transporting residents to and from central dining areas and recreation events and activities reduces the amount of productive time for staff to tend to other direct patient care responsibilities. The need to address factors affecting use of staff time has become critical.

The annual nursing home state survey is conducted with code requirements and expectations that are different than the regulations in operation when Countryside's current buildings were constructed 35 – 60 years ago and subsequent renovations since being licensed as a skilled nursing facility in the 1970's.

It needs to be emphasized that the current building design does not prevent Countryside from providing quality care. It does, however limit the ability to operate the facility with efficient use of staff resources and to provide residents a homelike environment.

The design of the current facility is based on a model of care that supports an institutional lifestyle where people remained mostly independent and mobile and were provided basic food, clothing, and shelter supplemented with health care supervision and assistance with activities of daily living as needed. The existing facility is not equipped to provide the kinds of community living and activities now considered vital to give our senior citizens the dignified quality of life that they deserve and that is expected by the public.

The design concepts of the proposed renovation will:

• allow residents to live in small "households" with adequate space for dining and activities to occur in their household.

• minimize the need to utilize valuable staff time for transporting residents.

• create an appropriate environment to accommodate individual needs and preferences in a dignified manner to enhance the residents' quality of life.

The Board of Trustees and Countryside staff met with Architecture 2000 to review alternative plans for renovating the facility. The revised plans to date have shaved approximately $1.0 million off of the $9.0 million funding proposal rejected by the County Board in January 2000. The Trustees have directed Architecture 2000 to make additional changes that should reduce to cost of the project further.

One of the priorities of renovation of the 1966 building is to provide residents with dignified toilet facilities. Current toilet rooms do not accommodate wheelchairs and walkers. This creates limitations for residents able to self-toilet and increases the risk for falls and injury. Use of resident lift and transfer assist devices is not effective in these limited spaces. Manual lifting and transfer typically requires two staff, is responsible for many staff injuries, lost time and workers compensation claims.

Another priority to achieve with renovation is to provide residents with opportunities to remain as self-sufficient as possible to increase their quality of life and dignity. Currently, for example, residents are not able to wash their own hands because wheelchairs do not fit under sinks. Staff must help residents wash their hands. This takes staff away from providing more meaningful care activities and it prevents residents from having control over some of life's most simple necessities.

The Trustees have asked the architects for a list of building options that would allow the county to phase-in some of the renovation components over time. However, it is clear that some maintenance items will have to be included in the construction and renovation plans and project budget. The following are a few examples:

• The windows of the building constructed in 1966 need attention. As an alternative to complete window replacement, the minimum work recommended is replacement of weather-stripping and possible tuck-point repair. The existing conditions result in increased humidity and drafts, which impacts resident comfort as well as utility costs and the efficiency of mechanical equipment.

• The basement/multi-use room of the 1966 building has a history of water leakage problems. Periodic refinishing of the walls has maintained appearance and function of this building space. However, the drainage issues have not been adequately addressed and over time, the effectiveness of existing drainage has diminished. Deterioration of drain tile resulted in a sinkhole this past spring. The engineer has identified that the drainage problem west of the 1966 building is in need of being re-done, but recommends that this be tied-in with the site preparation work for new construction.

• The facility does not have a service road around the entire complex. For example, fire truck access to the west side of the building would be through field and over lawn. A paved service road is recommended for access of emergency vehicles. This is not a specific nursing home code. However, this is an issue that has been raised by fire inspections conducted by the local fire authority, which is required by nursing home and life safety codes. This should be included in the plans and budget for site preparation with the construction and renovation project.

Finally, the Board of Trustees would like to invite the County Board to tour Countryside Home before the February meeting. The tour would begin at 5:00 p.m. and will conclude with dinner so that Supervisors can get to the courthouse in time for the 7:00 p.m. Board meeting.

Respectfully submitted,

Countryside Home Board of Trustees
