What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

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 interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure concise, and accurate documentation on Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) for one (1) of two (2) sampled residents (Resident 1) that was completed on 7/28/2025 and 10/23/2025 respectively. 1. Resident 1's admission MDS dated [DATE] did not indicate the resident's mobility device included wheelchair only and not walker. 2. Resident 1's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] did not indicate the resident's history of fall that occurred on 10/7/2025. This deficient practice had the potential to result in inaccurate care plans, inaccurate representation of a resident's acuity, which affects residents' treatment progress and plan of care. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included malignant neoplasm of liver not specified as primary or secondary ( a cancerous tumor in the liver where the origin is not specified ), alcohol use unspecified uncomplicated (a pattern of alcohol consumption that does not meet the full diagnostic criteria for alcohol use disorder, but still poses potential health risks), and altered mental status ( a change in a person's level of consciousness, alertness, and cognitive function). During a review of Resident 1's admission MDS dated [DATE], MDS indicated Resident 1 had moderate cognitive impairment, (resident likely need cues and supervision with some daily activities and their cognition is not intact, and resident make poor decisions). The MDS also indicated, Resident 1 is independent, (resident completes the activity by themselves with no assistance from a helper) with eating and oral hygiene and needs partial, moderate assistants (helper does less than half of the effort) for toileting hygiene, shower/ bathe self, upper and lower body dressing, putting on or taking off footwear and personal hygiene. The MDS also indicated Resident 1 had a walker and wheelchair as his mobility devices since admission to the facility. During a review of Resident 1's admission Assessment (AA) dated 7/21/2025, it indicated Resident 1 had wheelchair. During an interview on 10/30/2025 at 10:56 AM with MDS Nurse 1 (MDSN 1), MDSN 1 stated MDSN 1 did his assessment on Resident 1 on 7/28/2025, and he accidentally checked in the MDS section that Resident 1 has walker and wheelchair as Resident 1's mobility devices. MDSN 1 stated he should have carefully reviewed his assessment to make sure the resident's MDS reflects the correct assessment for Resident 1's functional ability and mobility device that Resident 1 uses to have correct plan of care for this resident. During an interview on 10/30/2025 at 11:40 AM with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), ADON stated he never observed Resident 1 using other ambulatory devices besides the resident's wheelchair since the resident's admission to the facility. ADON stated it is important to have accurate MDS assessment and documentation to make sure nurses can create individualized care plans, identify health problems, and monitors quality of care for each resident. During a review of the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT- a group of healthcare or other professionals with different backgrounds who collaborate to achieve common goals for patient care) Post Event Review (IDT) dated 10/8/2025 indicated Resident 1 had an unwitnessed fall at bedside on 10/7/2025. During a review Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) 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.
