PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately complete a Preadmission Screening and
Resident Review (PASARR- a federal requirement to help ensure that individuals are not inappropriately
placed in nursing homes for long term) for one of three residents (Resident 63).This failure had the
potential to result in an inappropriate placement and delay of services needed for Resident
63.Findings:During a review of Resident 63's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident
63 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder (a mental illness
that can affect thoughts, mood, and behavior) and colitis (inflammation in your colon).During a review of
Resident 63's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 12/23/2025, the MDS indicated
Resident 63's cognition (ability to think, understand, learn, and remember) was intact and required
moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with toileting, showering, and dressing.During a
review of Resident 63's PASARR I dated 12/18/2026, the PASARR I indicated a negative Level I screening.
The PASAAR I indicated Resident 63 did not have a diagnosis of a serious mental disorder (conditions that
affect your thinking, feeling, mood, and behavior). During a concurrent interview and record review on
2/11/2026 at 1:12 p.m., with the Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDSN), the MDSN indicated Resident 63 was
admitted to the facility with a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. The MDSN stated the PASARR Level I
completed prior to admission was negative but should have been positive so Resident 63 could receive
additional mental health referrals and resources.During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 1:23 p.m., with the
Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated she was responsible for ensuring the PASARR was completed
and accurate which was important, so the facility was aware of the residents' behaviors and needs and so
the resident receives the mental health resources they may need.During a review of the facility's policy and
procedure (P&P) titled, admission Criteria, 3/2019, the P&P indicated, The facility verifies that the PASARR
was completed for all potential admissions, to determine if the individual meets the criteria for mental
disorder.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an annual competency assessment (a
measurable pattern of knowledge, skills, abilities, behaviors, and other characteristics in performing that an
individual need to perform work roles or occupational functions successfully) checks for one of three
employees (Registered Nurse Supervisor) were performed every year.This deficient practice had the
potential for the facility not able to assess the skills, knowledge, training, and certification necessary to
provide nursing services to assure resident safety and adequate resident care.Findings:During a record
review on 02/11/2026 at 1:38 p.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), there were no records of
annual competency training that was done in employee file for RNS 1 for 2025. RNS1 was hired in 2022 as
an Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) and was hired as RN in 2024 working day shift.During a follow up
interview on 02/11/2026 at 3:27 pm with the DSD, The DSD stated it was very important to perform
competency evaluation annually to know if staff are competent enough to perform their duties to help the
residents. The DSD stated she will make sure employee files were updated, and track training hours
needed to be completed. The DSD stated she was still working on developing a process to audit the files
and catch up on required reviews because she had only begun working as the DSD in April 2025.During an
interview on 2/12/26 at 12:36 p.m. with RNS 1, RNS 1 stated it was important to perform competency
training to ensure staff understand their duties. RNS 1 stated she was supposed to be evaluated annually to
determine if she remained competent and to receive refresher training to support resident care. RNS 1
stated that performance evaluations help improve staff skills and promote resident safety.During an
interview on 02/13/26 at 8:52 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated she recognized she
had not completed all required competencies and was currently working on updating all licensed staff
competency evaluations. The DON stated she had not yet reached RNS 1's file. The DON stated annual
skills competency evaluations and all required training must be completed for RNS 1 and all staff. The DON
stated staff competency was very important to ensure staff skills were improved, residents remain safe, and
staff understand how to properly perform their duties.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure
(P&P), titled Staffing, Sufficient and Competent Nursing revised 08/2022, the P&P indicated Facility
provides staff with the appropriate skills and competency necessary to provide nursing and related care
and service for all residents.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications removed from the
emergency kit (E Kit-collection of different types of medications in a small box for emergency use supplied
by pharmacy to health care organizations) were entered in the communication form and promptly
replaced.Augmentin ( a combination of antibiotic that contains two active ingredients: amoxicillin (the
primary germ-fighter) and clavulanic acid 125 milligram (mg-unit of measurement) removed from the E-kit
(date and time unknown) and Keflex 250 mg (antibiotic use to kill a wide range of bacteria), medications
removed from the emergency kit (E Kit-collection of different types of medications in a small box for
emergency use supplied by pharmacy to health care organizations) on [DATE] at 1:30 p.m.This failure had
the potential to leave the facility without STAT (immediately) Augmentin 125 mg and Keflex 250 mg in the
E?Kit if another resident required these antibiotics urgently as prescribed by a physician. Findings:During
an observation on [DATE] at 10:16 a.m. in Medication Storage room [ROOM NUMBER], one E?Kit was
found open and missing one Augmentin 125 mg tablet. The E?Kit was required to contain four tablets, but
only three remained, and there was no record of replacement. Facility staff were unable to determine when
the Augmentin had been used. The E?Kit was required to contain eight capsules of Keflex 250 mg; two
capsules had been removed on [DATE] at 1:30 p.m.During an interview on [DATE] at 10:20 a.m., Licensed
Vocational Nurses (LVN) 2, LVN 2 stated when licensed staff open an E?Kit and remove medications, they
should document the removal on the communication form inside the kit and endorse the information to the
next shift. LVN 2 stated this process should occur each shift to ensure removed medications were replaced
immediately after the pharmacy was notified. LVN 2 stated she did not know who removed the Augmentin
125 mg but acknowledged removing the Keflex 250 mg during the [DATE] 7 am -3 pm shift. LVN 2 stated
the E?Kit should have been replaced on [DATE] when it was opened. She stated that failure to replace
medications may result in the medications being unavailable in an emergency. LVN 2 stated all licensed
nurses were responsible for ensuring that E?Kit medications were replaced once removed.During an
interview on [DATE] at 2:45 p.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN1 stated when licensed nurses receive
a physician's order, they enter it into the computer and notify the pharmacy. If the medication was not
available in the facility, the pharmacy authorizes staff to obtain it from the E?Kit. RN 1 stated each shift
must follow up to ensure the E?Kit was replaced as soon as possible; however, RN 1 did not provide a
specific turnaround time for replacement. RN 1 stated the licensed nurse removing medication must
complete a form but does not need to send the form to the pharmacy. The pharmacy must be notified
before the E?Kit was opened.During an interview on [DATE] at 10:10 a.m., with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated that
staff are required to complete a pharmacy form indicating the resident's name and the medication removed
from the E?Kit. The form has two copies: the white copy should be sent to the pharmacy, and the yellow
copy was kept in the facility. LVN 2 stated the pharmacy retrieves and replaces the E?Kit when medications
were removed. If an opened E?Kit remains in the facility, it indicates the pharmacy has not replaced the
removed medication. LVN 2 stated medications removed from the E?Kit must be replaced immediately
because another resident may require them urgently.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure
(P&P) titled, E: Emergency Supply Replacement dated 7/2023, the P&P indicated in order to assure that
emergency supplies of certain infusion medications and supplies are maintained for STAT use within
nursing facilities, the pharmacy will provide sealed supplies of these medications and solutions for the
purpose of assuring their prompt administration. The nursing facility must notify the pharmacy so that these
emergency supplies can be promptly replenished and the appropriate

Inform resident or representatives choice to enter into binding arbitration agreement and right to refuse.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that a binding arbitration agreement (out-of-court
process where a neutral third party hears a dispute and makes a final, legally binding decision) was
explained in a form and manner that the resident's representative ([RR]- an individual chosen by the
resident to act on behalf of the resident in order to support the resident in decision-making; access medical,
social or other personal information of the resident) could understand prior to obtaining a signature for one
of three resident's (Resident 15).This failure had the potential to result in the resident or resident
representative unknowingly waiving the right to pursue disputes through the judicial system, thereby limiting
legal rights and protections.Findings:During a review of Resident 15's admission Record, the admission
Record indicated Resident 15 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (a
progressive state of decline in mental abilities), and paranoid schizophrenia (a serious mental illness that
affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves).During a review of Resident 15's Minimum Data Set (MDS
-a resident assessment tool) dated 12/11/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 15's cognition (ability to think,
understand, learn, and remember) was severely impaired and required substantial/maximal assistance
(helper does more than half the effort) with toileting, bathing, and dressing.During a review of Resident 15's
Care Plan dated 12/2025, the Care Plan indicated, Resident has impaired cognitive function/dementia or
impaired thought processes related to dementia, psychotropic drug use.During an interview on 2/12/2026
at 9:18 a.m. with Resident 15, Resident 15 was alert, and was able to state his name. Resident 15 was
unable to state the month, day, or year. Resident 15 stated that he does not recall being informed upon
admission that he was required to sign any documents related to legal disputes or arbitration. Resident 15
stated that he does not know what a binding arbitration agreement was.During a review of Resident 15's
Arbitration Agreement, dated December 2025, the Arbitration Agreement indicated, an electronic signature
by the resident representative. During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 10:20 a.m. with the Resident
Representative (RR), the RR stated she was never informed about any binding arbitration agreement. The
RR stated she did not know what a binding arbitration agreement was. She stated at the time of admission,
she signed multiple admission documents but does not recall any explanation regarding arbitration or being
informed that signing such an agreement was optional. The RR denied being told that the agreement
involved waiving the right to pursue legal action in court. RR also stated she did not recall being given an
opportunity to decline or rescind the agreement.During a concurrent interview and record review on
2/13/2026 at 8:13 a.m. with the Admissions Director (ADMD), the ADMD stated that the binding arbitration
agreement was included in the admission packet. The ADMD stated she goes through the paperwork with
the residents or the resident representatives and explains that it relates to how legal disputes would be
handled. The ADMD stated that signing the agreement was not required for admission to the facility. The
ADMD stated that the residents/resident representative sign many papers, and sometimes they don't
remember if they signed the arbitration agreement. The ADMD was unable to identify documentation in the
resident's medical record reflecting that the arbitration agreement was explained to the resident
representative at the time of signing it. The ADMD stated that the facility ensures the residents or resident
representative understands the agreement by going through the paperwork and answering any questions
that they may have. ADMD stated that binding arbitration agreements waive significant legal rights,
including the right to pursue disputes in a court of law and the right to a jury trial. ADMD stated that if a
resident or representative does not understand the agreement, the voluntariness and informed consent
requirements may not be met.During a

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and interview, the facility failed to maintain and observe infection control practices by failing
to:1.Ensure Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 2 wore an isolation gown (protective apparel used to protect
the wearer from the transfer of microorganisms and body fluids) while assisting with fixing linens for
Resident 41 which required direct contact with Resident 41 who was on Enhanced Barrier Precautions
(EBP- infection control intervention using gown and gloves during high contact resident care activities
designed to reduce the transmission of multi-drug-resistant organisms {microorganisms, predominantly
bacteria, that are resistant to one of more classes of antimicrobial agents}).2.Ensure the oxygen tubing was
changed and dated for Resident 42.3.Ensure the intravenous (IV- administering fluids, medications, or
nutrients directly into a vein using a needle or tube) site was changed and dated for Resident 47.4.Ensure
CNA 2 performed hand hygiene when passing meal trays.These failures had the potential to result in cross
contamination (physical movement or transfer of harmful bacteria from one person, object, or place to
another) and place residents at risk for the spread of infection.Findings:1.During a review of Resident 41's
admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 41 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including diabetes mellitus (DM- a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and
poor wound healing) and cerebral infarction (loss of blood flow to a part of the brain).During a review of
Resident 41's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 12/18/2025, the MDS indicated
Resident 41's cognition (ability to think, understand, learn, and remember) was severely impaired and
required maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort with activities of daily living (ADLsactivities such as bathing, dressing, and toileting a person performs daily).During a concurrent observation
and interview on 2/10/2026 at 11:48 a.m., with CNA 2, CNA 2 was observed entering Resident 41's room
who was on EBP, to fix her linens but did not put on a gown or gloves. CNA 2 stated she should have put on
a gown and gloves to prevent the spread of infection. 2.During a review of Resident 42's admission Record,
the admission Record indicated Resident 42 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
chronic congestive heart failure (CHF- a heart disorder which causes the heart not to pump the blood
efficiently, sometimes resulting in leg swelling) and schizoaffective disorder (a mental illness that can affect
thoughts, mood, and behavior).During a review of Resident 42's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated
Resident 42's cognition was intact and required moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort)
with ADLs.During an observation and interview on 2/10/2026 at 9:52 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 1, it was observed Resident 42's oxygen tubing was not labeled or dated. LVN 1 stated there was no
way of telling when the tubing was changed and it should have been labeled so the staff were aware of
when it needed to be changed. LVN 1 stated it was important to label and date the tubing for infection
control and prevent the resident from getting sick.3.During a review of Resident 47's admission Record, the
admission Record indicated Resident 47 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
Parkinson's disease (a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscle rigidity, and
slow, imprecise movement) and rheumatoid arthritis (a chronic progressive disease causing inflammation in
the joints and resulting in painful deformity and immobility).During a review of Resident 47's MDS dated
[DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 47's cognition was intact and required maximal assistance with
ADLs.During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/10/2026 at 10:09 a.m., with Registered Nurse
Supervisor (RNS) 1, observed Resident 47's IV site was dated 1/9/2026. RNS 1 stated he changed it the
day before and put the wrong date. When asked if he could show me the documentation that the IV site was
changed, RNS 1 stated he did not document that he changed

Resident 47's IV site but should have. RNS 1 stated it was important to document and change the IV site
every three days to prevent an infection from developing.4.During an observation and interview on
2/10/2026 at 11:48 a.m., with CNA 2, CNA 2 was observed passing out lunch trays to the residents without
performing hand hygiene in between residents. CNA 2 stated she should have performed hand hygiene to
prevent the residents from getting sick, prevent the spread of germs to the residents, and for infection
control.During an interview on 2/11/2026 at 11:20 a.m., with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN), the IPN
stated gown and gloves should be worn when fixing linens for residents on EBP to prevent the spread of
infection because the resident may have an open wound or an indwelling device (an object that is inserted
and left inside the body for a period of time). The IPN stated hand hygiene should be performed between
residents when passing meal trays to prevent the spread of infection. The IPN stated oxygen tubing should
be change weekly with a label and date, so the staff are aware of when it was changed and to prevent the
residents from developing an infection.During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 1:23 p.m., with the Director of
Nursing (DON), the DON stated hand hygiene should be performed between residents when passing meal
trays for the safety of the residents, for the prevention of spreading germs, and for infection control. The
DON stated IV sites should be documented, labeled, and dated because the IV goes directly into the
resident and could cause an infection if not changed. The DON stated when a resident was on EBP and
staff were going in to fix their linens, gown and gloves must be worn for infection control. The DON stated
oxygen tubing should be changed weekly and must be labeled and dated, not doing so endanger the
resident if the tubing was used for too long.During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled,
Enhanced Barrier Precautions, dated 8/2022, the P&P indicated, Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBPs) are
used as an infection prevention and control intervention to reduce the spread of multi-drug-resistant
organisms (MDROs) to residents. EBPs employ targeted gown and gloves use during high contact resident
care activity. Examples of high-contact resident care activities include changing linens.During a review of
the facility's P&P titled, Departmental (Respiratory Therapy)- Prevention of Infection, dated 11/2011, the
P&P indicated, The purpose of this procedure is to guide prevention of infection associated with respiratory
therapy tasks. [NAME] water bottle with date and initials upon opening.During a review of the facility's P&P
titled, Peripheral and Midline IV Catheter Flushing and Locking, dated 6/2025, the P&P indicated,
Document procedure in treatment and administration record. Note location of the catheter, condition of the
insertion site, and dressing in nurse's notes.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Handwashing/Hand
Hygiene, dated 8/2019, the P&P indicated, The facility considers hand hygiene the primary means to
prevent the spread of infection. Use an alcohol-based hand rub containing at least 62% alcohol or soap and
water for the following situations: before and after eating or handling food and before and after assisting a
resident with meals.
