F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on an interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately complete the Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to guide care) functional status on mobility for one of two sampled residents (Resident 15). The MDS assessment inaccurately showed Resident 15 was not able to walk due to health and safety reasons. Residents Affected - Few This failure resulted in an inaccurate reflection of Resident 15's medical condition and placed her at risk for receiving inappropriate care. Findings: During a review of Resident 15's admission Record, dated October 2023, the record indicated Resident 15 was readmitted to the facility in May 2019. During an interview on 11/02/23 at 5:14 p.m. with Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA), RNA stated Resident 15 was able to walk with assistance in the hallways and outside on the patio. RNA stated he usually assisted Resident 15 for ambulation for at least three times per week. During a review of Resident 15's RNA Weekly Summary, dated 9/29/23 and 10/6/23 showed Resident 15 received RNA services for walking program three times a week. During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/03/23 at 9:55 a.m. with MDS Coordinator (MDSC), Resident 15's MDS assessment dated [DATE] was reviewed. The MDS assessment under Functional Abilities showed walking was not attempted due to medical condition. However, under Restorative Nursing Programs, the MDS assessment indicated Resident 15 walked for three days in the last seven calendar days. The MDSC stated MDS assessments were based on records and the information from direct care staff such as Nursing Assistants, Charge Nurses, and RNA involved in a resident's care during the look back period. The MDSC also stated it was an item coding error and it should have been coded as moderate assistance for walking. The MDSC also stated it was important to complete the MDS assessment accurately because an inaccurate assessment could affect Resident 15's plan of care. During a review of Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) 3.0 User's Manual Version 1.17.1, dated October 2019, the manual indicated, The RAI process has multiple regulatory requirements. Federal regulations at 42 CFR 483.20 (b)(1)(xviii), (g), and (h) require that (1) the assessment accurately reflects the resident's status. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately complete and/or update the Level I Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR, a federal requirement to ensure that residents are not inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long term care) assessment for one of one sampled resident (Resident 15) for a period of over four years. This failure resulted in an inaccurate reflection of Resident 15's medical status and had the potential to result in Resident 15 not receiving the care and services appropriate for her condition. Findings: During a review of Resident 15's admission Record, dated October 2023, the record indicated Resident 15 was originally admitted to the facility in December 2018. During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/3/23 at 11:58 a.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 15's PASARRs, dated 12/12/18 and 6/7/19 were reviewed. The DON stated the facility was expected to complete a PASARR screening prior to residents' admission to the facility. The DON stated the PASARR dated 12/12/18 was completed one week after Resident 15's admission to the facility and was inaccurately coded as No for Question 28 Has the resident been prescribed psychotropic medications (used to manage mental health conditions)? The DON stated Resident 15's clinical record showed that she received quetiapine (a psychotropic medication) 25 milligrams (mg) for hospital delirium (acute confusion) from 12/5/18 until 12/11/23. The DON stated the PASARR dated 6/7/19 was completed for Resident 15's readmission to the facility on 6/5/19. The PASARR dated 6/7/23 showed facility answered Yes to Question:17b Will the resident's stay at your facility likely to require less than 30 days of NF services? The DON stated Resident 15 did not leave and was a long-term resident at the facility. The DON stated the PASARR dated 6/7/23 did not reflect an accurate status of Resident 15. The DON stated the facility did not update and/or complete a new PASARR to reflect the actual status of Resident 15 since 6/7/19. During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/3/23 at 12:33 p.m. with Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC), Resident 15's MDS assessment dated [DATE] was reviewed. The assessment showed Resident 15 had a diagnosis of Schizophrenia (a mental disorder characterized by disconnection from reality), Psychosis (condition that affects the brain processing of information) and had received psychotropic medication, but she was not eligible for Level II PASARR screening. The MDSC stated, Resident 15's mental illness diagnoses could have led her to have Level II PASARR screening, however she overlooked that need when she completed the MDS assessment. During a review of facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P), titled admission Criteria, dated March 2023, the P&P indicated. 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 .If the level 1 screen indicates that the individual may meet the criteria for a MD, ID, or RD, he or she is referred to the state PASRR representative for the Level II (evaluation and determination) screening process.
