Residents Affected - Few
Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's
ability to function.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident
2) was free from unnecessary medication when, Resident 2 was prescribed an as needed lorazepam
(anti-anxiety) medication that did not have the required 14-day stop date or a note from the doctor
explaining why the lorazepam did not need a stop date.This failure had the potential for Resident 2 to not
be properly evaluated for the continued need of lorazepam and could result in continued use of an
unnecessary medication and possible harmful side effects.Findings:Review of Resident 2's admission
RECORD, indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility with diagnosis including but not limited to,
anxiety disorder (excessive, persistent fear and worry that significantly disrupt daily life) and
depression.During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/3/25 at 12:16 PM with Licensed Nurse
(LN) 1, Resident 2's .Order Summary: Lorazepam Oral Tablet 0.5 milligram [mg-a unit measure]
(Lorazepam) Give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed for anxiety/restlessness ., signed by the
doctor on 12/1/25, was reviewed. LN 1 stated that any as-needed psychotropic medications (drugs that
affect how a person thinks, feels, or acts) like anti-anxiety medication must have a 14 day stop date so the
resident could be checked to make sure the medicine was still needed and safe. LN 1 further stated that if
Resident 2 kept receiving lorazepam without a stop date and without evaluation, Resident 2 would be at
risk for side effects. During an interview on 12/3/25 at 4:13 PM, with the Assistant Director of Nursing
(ADON), the ADON stated that when nurses received an order for an as-needed anti-anxiety medication,
nurses were expected to ensure the medication had a 14-day stop date. The ADON stated that the purpose
of the 14-day stop date was to give temporary relief of the resident's symptoms, and if the medication
needed to continue, the doctor had to provide a new order after re-assessment. The ADON further stated
that anti-anxiety medications could cause harmful side effects in elderly residents and could lead to a
potential addiction, which was why anti-anxiety medications needed to have a 14-day stop date. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 12/5/25 at 9:38 AM with Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC),
Resident 2's doctor's Progress Notes, dated 11/27/25, were reviewed. Resident 2's doctor's progress notes
indicated, .Assessment:.Depression/Anxiety: Continue.and [lorazepam]. The MDSC stated that the doctor's
last assessment of Resident 2 was on 11/27/25, as documented in the progress notes, before Resident 2
received an as-needed order for lorazepam for anxiety on 12/1/25. The MDSC stated that the doctor did not
document a reason for why the lorazepam order on 12/1/25 did not include a stop date. The MDSC further
stated that as-needed anti-anxiety medication required a stop date or the resident would be at risk for
chemical restraint (drug used to control behavior or limit movement that is not part of normal treatment) and
harmful side effects. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/5/25 at 9:45 AM with the
MDSC, Resident 2's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated for the month of 12/25, was reviewed.
Resident 2's MAR indicated, on 12/1/25 at 10:15 PM, on 12/2/25 at 10:26 PM and 12/3/25 at 11:12 PM,
Resident 2 received lorazepam 0.5mg as needed for anxiety. The MDSC stated

that the nurses gave Resident 2 the as-needed lorazepam on 12/1/25, 12/2/25 and 12/3/25 without a stop
date. During an interview on 12/5/25 at 11:44 AM, with the Pharmacist (Pharm), the Pharm stated that
as-needed anti-anxiety medications required a duration or stop date. The Pharm further stated that the
purpose of placing a duration on any as-needed anti-anxiety medications was to make sure the resident
was re-evaluated before the medication was continued. During a review of an undated facility's policy and
procedure (P&P) titled, Psychoactive/Psychotropic Medication Use, the P&P indicated, .2. Psychotropic
Medication Management .K. PRN Psychotropic drug orders (other than PRN Antipsychotics) are limited to
14 days. If it is appropriate to extend the order beyond 14 days, the Attending Physician or prescribing
practitioner shall document the rationale in the medical record and indicate a duration for the PRN order.

PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled resident's (Resident
1) Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR: required screening done before admission to
identify mental illness, intellectual disability, or related conditions and ensure proper placement and
services) was completed accurately when, Resident 1's diagnosis of intellectual disability (a condition that
involves limitations on intelligence, learning and everyday abilities necessary to live independently) and
related condition of cerebral palsy (a person's brain is injured or did not develop normally before, during, or
shortly after birth) were not marked on Resident 1's PASRR. This failure had the potential for Resident 1 not
being evaluated and able to receive the care and services appropriate for the resident's
needs.Findings:Review of Resident 1's admission RECORD, indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility with diagnosis including but not limited to, mild intellectual disabilities and cerebral palsy.During a
review of Resident 1's PASRR Level I determination letter dated 9/1/16, the letter indicated .LEVEL 1
SCREEN INDICATES NO NEED FOR A PASRR LEVEL II EVALUATION [a state conducted assessment to
determine specialized service needs and placement appropriateness].During a review of Resident 1's Care
Plan, initiated on 11/1/24, in the section titled Focus, indicated, .PASRR Level 1 indicates no need for Level
2 evaluation. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 12/3/25 at 2:03 PM, with Minimum Data
Set Coordinator (MDSC), Resident 1's Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Level 1
Screening Document, dated 9/1/16, was reviewed. Resident 1's PASRR Level 1 Screening indicated,
Section VI-Intellectual or Developmental Disability (ID)/(DD) or Related (RC) Screen, the answer was No to
the question, Does the resident have or is suspected of having a primary diagnosis of ID/DD/RC? The
MDSC stated that Resident 1's PASRR did not match Resident 1's diagnosis of intellectual disabilities. The
MDSC stated that if Resident 1's intellectual disabilities had been identified in the PASRR, it would have
created a PASRR Level 2 evaluation. The MDS stated that Resident 1's PASSR dated 2016 was completed
in the facility but was never reviewed for accuracy. The MDSC further stated that not completing the PASRR
accurately was a safety risk for Resident 1, as it could lead to unmet behavioral, functional, and safety
needsDuring an interview on 12/3/25 at 4:13 PM, with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON
stated that facility staff were expected to review the completed PASRR to ensure the assessment was
accurate. The ADON further stated that having inaccurate PASRR documentation placed the resident at
risk for decline because the resident would not be properly evaluated and would not receive needed care
services During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled admission Criteria, dated 12/19,
the P&P indicated, .9. All new admissions and readmissions are screened for mental disorders (MD),
intellectual disabilities (ID) or related disorders (RD) per the Medicaid Pre-admission Screening and
Resident Review (PASARR) process.a. The facility conducts level 1 PASARR screen.to determine if the
individual meets the criteria for a MD, ID, or RD. b. If the level 1screen indicates that the individual may
meet the criteria for a MD, ID, or RD, he or she is referred to the state PASARR representative for the level
II (evaluation and determination) screening process.c. Upon completion of level II evaluation, the state
PASARR representative determines if the individual has a physical or mental condition, what specialized or
rehabilitative services he or she needs, whether placement in the facility is appropriate.

Ensure each resident must receive and the facility must provide necessary behavioral health care and
services.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the needed behavioral health care and
services (treatments that support a person's mental and emotional well-being) for one of three sampled
residents (Resident 1), when Resident 1's psychotherapy (talking treatment that helps a person manage
emotions, behaviors and stress) sessions scheduled two times per week were missed on two occasions,
and the facility failed to ensure timely follow-up or alternative interventions.This failure put Resident 1 at risk
for worsening mental health symptoms, social withdrawal, and decreased quality of life. Findings:Review of
Resident 1's admission RECORD, indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with diagnosis including
but not limited to, adjustment disorder with depressed mood (a condition where a person feels very sad or
stressed after a difficult event and has trouble coping) and anxiety disorder.During a concurrent interview
and record review on 12/3/25 at 12:16 PM, with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1, Resident 1's Psychologist Progress
Notes dated 11/6/25 and 11/20/25 were reviewed. Resident 1's psychologist's progress notes on 11/6/25
and 11/20/25 indicated, .Diagnosis.Adjustment Disorder, with depressed mood.Plan Patient may benefit
from psychotherapy.Recommendation: Continue current therapeutic focus Prescribed Frequency of Twice a
Week. LN 1 stated that Resident 1 missed both psychotherapy visits during the week of 11/10/25. LN 1
stated there was no documentation to show psychotherapy services were provided that week. LN 1 further
stated that missing psychotherapy visits could negatively affect Resident 1's mental condition.During an
interview on 12/3/25 at 2:30 PM with the Social Services Director (SSD), the SSD stated that psychology
referrals and appointments were handled by the Social Services Department (SS). The SSD stated that if
psychology services missed seeing a resident, staff were expected to communicate the missed visit so the
facility could implement a backup plan. The SSD further stated that missing psychotherapy could negatively
affect the resident's psychosocial (a person's emotional, social, and mental wellness) status. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 12/12/25 at 10:56 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 1's doctor's Order Summary, dated 12/22/24, was reviewed. Resident 1's order summary
indicated, .Refer patient to PSYCH CONSULT. The DON stated that a psychology consult required a
doctor's order. The DON further stated that once a doctor's order was in place, nursing staff were
responsible for following up with the psychologist and notifying the doctor whenever a scheduled
psychotherapy visit was missed to make sure care was provided in a timely manner. During a review of
Resident 1's Confirmation of missed visit week of 11.10.2025 letter, dated 12/3/25, the letter of confirmation
of missed visit indicated, Resident 1 .was not seen the week of 11/10/25 . was seen the week prior on
11.6.2025 and the week after on 11.18.2025.
