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 a pre-admission screening and resident
review (PASARR, a federal requirement to help ensure that individuals who have mental disorder or
intellectual disabilities are placed in facilities that can provide the appropriate care) was accurately
completed for one of 36 sampled residents (Resident 28).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential for inaccurate care and services provided to residents with a mental disorder,
intellectual disability, or related conditions.
Findings:
Review of Resident 28's clinical record titled, admission Record, indicated Resident 28 was admitted to the
facility with diagnoses including acute respiratory failure (lungs are unable to adequately deliver oxygen to
the blood) with hypoxia (a condition where there is an insufficient amount of oxygen in the body's tissues or
organs), influenza (a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses), emphysema (a
chronic lung disease), and schizotypal disorder (a mental health condition characterized by unusual
thoughts and behaviors, difficulty forming close relationships, and a tendency toward odd beliefs and
perceptions).
Review of Resident 28's clinical record titled, Order Summary Report, dated 4/1/2025, indicated Resident
28 had a prescription of Trazodone (an antidepressant medication used to treat depression, anxiety, or a
combination of depression or anxiety) for depression (a common mental health condition characterized by a
persistent low mood, loss of interest in activities, and other symptoms that can significantly interfere with
daily life) manifested by inability to sleep. Further review indicated, Resident 28 was being monitored for
episodes of schizotypal disorder manifested by social anxiety such as 1. more interest of activity done
alone or 2. Not wanting to get out of bed.
Review of Resident 28's PASARR dated 1/31/2025, indicated Resident 28's Level I Screening was negative
for serious mental illness. Further review indicated in question, 9. Does the individual have a serious
diagnosed mental disorder such as Depressive Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder,
Schizophrenia/Schizoaffective Disorder, or symptoms of Psychosis, Delusions, and/or Mood Disturbance?
the answer, no was marked. For question, 11. Has the individual been prescribed psychotropic medications
for Serious Mental Illness? the answer, no was marked.
During a concurrent interview with minimum data set director (MDSD) and record review on Resident 28's
admission record, order summary report and PASARR on 4/17/2025 at 9:18 a.m., MDSD confirmed
Resident 28's diagnoses of schizotypal disorder, with behavior monitoring and was taking an
antidepressant. MDSD confirmed a staff from the hospital was the one who completed Resident 28's
PASARR and stated numbers 9 and 11 should have been marked, yes. MDSD stated MDS nurses should
always review resident's PASARR for accuracy prior to coding it in resident's comprehensive MDS (a
federally mandated resident assessment tool) assessment.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, admission Criteria, date revised 3/2019,
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 I screen indicates that the individual may meet the criteria for MD, ID, or RD,
he or she is referred to the state PASARR representative for the Level II (evaluation and determination)
screening process.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement individualized,
resident-centered care plan for one of 36 sampled residents (Resident 23) when a care plan for Resident
23's behavior of pulling off her clothes or facility gown was not developed and implemented.
This failure had the potential to result in not having to identify the specific care and services necessary to
meet Resident 23's needs.
Findings:
Review Resident 23's clinical record titled, admission Record, dated 4/16/2025, it indicated Resident 23
was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including obstructive hydrocephalus (a condition where the
normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid [CSF - a clear, colorless liquid that surrounds and cushions the brain and
spinal cord] is blocked within the ventricles [fluid-filled spaces] of the brain), benign neoplasm (a
non-cancerous growth of cells) of spinal cord, other specified disorders of brain, dysphagia (difficulty
swallowing) , and encounter for attention to gastrostomy (a surgical procedure that creates an opening
(stoma) into the stomach for the insertion of a feeding tube.
Review of Resident 23's admission minimum data set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment
tool) assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 23's brief interview for mental status (BIMS - an
assessment tool used by facilities to screen and identify memory, orientation, and judgement status of the
resident) score was 00 (a score of 0 to 7 indicates severe cognitive impairment, 8-12 moderate impairment,
13-15 patient is cognitively intact).
During an initial observation on 4/14/2025 at 10:08 a.m., inside Resident 23's room, Resident 23 was in
bed, with right hand mitten in placed, half naked with upper chest exposed and with caregiver at bedside.
During another observation on 4/16/2025 at 9:15 a.m., inside Resident 23's room, the privacy curtain was
half drawn and Resident 23 was observed in bed, half naked, and her right upper chest was exposed.
Resident 23's bed was located near the bedroom door, and she could easily be seen by her roommates'
visitors in beds B and C.
During a concurrent interview and observation with certified nursing assistant F (CNA F) on 4/16/2025 at
9:39 a.m. inside Resident 23's room, CNA F confirmed above observation and stated Resident 23 stripped
off her facility gown. CNA F further confirmed Resident 23's privacy curtain was half drawn.
During an interview with social services G (SS G) on 4/17/2025 at 11:30 a.m., SS G confirmed Resident 23
had a behavior of pulling off her clothes and stated they did not have a plan of care for such behavior.
During another interview with CNA F on 4/18/2025 at 8:43 a.m., CNA F stated staff should make sure
Resident 23 was checked frequently especially if her family member was not at bedside to prevent her from
pulling off her facility gown.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure services were provided to prevent
and/or heal pressure ulcers (damage to the skin or underlying tissue as a result of prolonged pressure) for
two residents (Residents 190 and 546) when staff did not turn and reposition the residents every two hours.
Residents Affected - Some
This failure had the potential to delay wound healing, worsening pressure ulcers and the development of
new pressure ulcers for Resident 190 and Resident 546.
Findings:
1. During multiple observations on 4/16/25 at 9:38 a.m., 11:40 a.m., 1:45 p.m., and 4:00 p.m., Resident 190
was lying in bed positioned on his back and was not able to turn himself. During multiple observations on

his back and was not able to turn himself.
Review of Resident 190's medical record indicated he was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including aphasia (slight or serious difficulty with language or speech)
following cerebral infarction (stroke, damage to the brain due to lack of oxygen), chronic respiratory failure
(condition in which your blood doesn't have enough oxygen or has too much carbon dioxide, left side
hemiplegia and hemiparesis (complete paralysis [inability to move part or all of the body], partial paralysis
or muscle weakness on one side of the body), stage 4 (a deep wound reaching the muscles, ligaments, or
bones) pressure ulcer (an area of skin that breaks down when something keeps rubbing or pressing
against the skin) of the sacral/coccyx (the triangular shaped bone at the base of the spine) region and
pressure induced deep tissue damage of left heel.
Review of Resident 190's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool), dated 3/17/25, indicated he was
admitted with pressure ulcers. The MDS also indicated Resident 190 was severely impaired in cognition
with communication deficit. The MDS further indicated Resident 190 had impairment of both sides of upper
and lower extremities requiring extensive assistance with bed mobility (moving in bed) and non-ambulatory
(unable to walk).
Review of Resident 190's Weekly Skin Assessment Report indicated on 4/9/25, Resident 190 was noted to
have a 7.1 cm (centimeter, a unit of measurement) by 4.7 cm by 0.7 coccyx pressure ulcer.
During a wound treatment observation and concurrent interview with the Wound Treatment Nurse (WTN) on
4/18/25 at 9:20 a.m., Resident 190 had an open wound in the coccyx area. The WTN measured the open
area and stated the size remained unchanged from observation and treatment on 4/16/25. The WTN also
stated recommendations were given to staff to continue turning and positioning of the resident every two
hours or as needed to promote healing of the wound.
Review of Resident 190's Care Plan dated 1/22/25 and revised on3/4/25 indicated Resident 190 was at risk
for pressure injury, development and skin breakdown related to chronic venous insufficiency (leg veins that
don't allow blood to flow back up to the heart), hemiplegia and hemiparesis with intervention to turn and
position every two hours and as needed.

Provide appropriate foot care.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide necessary podiatry
services for one of 36 sampled residents (Resident 215) when the toenails were longer than Resident
preferred causing pain and concern for ingrown toenails or infection.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to affect the resident's foot health and contribute to injury and/or infection.
Review of Resident 215's clinical records indicated Resident 215 had multiple diagnoses including
hemiplegia (a symptom that involves the loss of the ability to move on one-side of body) and hemiparesis
(one-sided weakness), and diabetes (high blood sugar). Resident 215's cognitive function is intact
Review of Resident 215's order summary, dated 11/14/24, indicated Resident 215 may have Podiatry
evaluation, Tx, and follow up every 61 days and prn (as needed).
During an interview on 4/14/25 at 9:40 a.m. with Resident 215, Resident 215 stated, she requested to see
the podiatrist, they showed her a paper stating saying the podiatrist saw her, but he never did. During a
concurrent observation Resident 215's nails were noted to be long, thick and growing inward.
During an interview on 4/16/25 at 10:25 a.m. with Social Services (SS) G, the SSG explained, when
residents request podiatry services it is noted in a binder at the nurse's station. Resident 215 requested on
4/4/25 and will be scheduled for their next visit. During a concurrent observation and interview with SSG in
Resident 215's room with Resident 215, SSG confirmed Resident 215's nails were long and did not look
like they were seen on a recent visit by the podiatrist. Resident 215 stated she was not seen by the
podiatrist.
During an interview on 4/18/25 at 1:28 p.m. with Resident 215, Resident 215 was sitting in the wheelchair
with her shoes on. Resident 215 stated she would remember someone working on her toes. They feel the
same, the toes are still bothering her, she feels sharp pain, has a history of ingrown toenails so is
concerned that will happen and does not want them infected. She is a diabetic.
During review of the facility's policy & procedures titled Foot Care dated revised October 2022, indicated,
Overall foot care includes the care and treatment of medical conditions to prevent foot complications from
these conditions (e.g., diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, immobility, etc.) . Trained staff may provide
routine foot care ( e.g., toenail clipping) within professional standards of practice for residents without
complicating disease processes .Residents with foot disorders or medical conditions associated with foot
complications are referred to qualified professionals. Foot disorders that require treatment include corns,
neuromas, calluses, hallux valgus (bunions), digiti flexus (hammertoe), heel spurs, and nail disorders.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that proper care and
treatment services for oxygen (O2, a colorless, odorless gas) use was provided for three of 12 sampled
residents (residents on oxygen therapy) when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Residents 28's and Resident 152's O2 concentrator's (a device which concentrates the oxygen from
ambient air) filters had some grayish substance build up; and,
2. Resident 212 was administered the wrong dosage of oxygen.
These deficient practices had the potential for Residents 28, 152, and 212 to have complications related to
improper treatment while receiving O2 therapy.
Findings:
1a. Review of Resident 28's clinical record titled, admission Record, indicated Resident 28 was admitted to
the facility with diagnoses including acute respiratory failure (lungs are unable to adequately deliver oxygen
to the blood) with hypoxia (a condition where there is an insufficient amount of oxygen in the body's tissues
or organs), influenza (a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses), emphysema (a
chronic lung disease), and schizotypal disorder (a mental health condition characterized by unusual
thoughts and behaviors, difficulty forming close relationships, and a tendency toward odd beliefs and
perceptions).
Review of Resident 28's clinical record titled, Order Summary Report, dated 4/1/2025, it indicated an order
of continuous use of oxygen for Resident 28. Further review revealed an order dated 2/1/2025, May use O2
CONCENTRATOR. Check concentrator filter weekly &wash or change every Friday or PRN (as needed).
During an observation inside Resident 28's room on 4/14/2025 at 11:17 a.m., Resident 28 was in bed and
on oxygen therapy at 2 liters (unit of volume) per minute (lpm) thru a nasal cannula (NC - a tubing used to
deliver oxygen from the machine through the nostrils). The oxygen concentrator's filter located at the back
of the device was observed with thick grayish substance build up.
1b. Review of Resident 152's clinical record titled, admission Record, indicated Resident 152 was admitted
to the facility with diagnoses including pneumonia (infection of one or both lungs), chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD - a disease that affects airflow in the lungs and makes it difficult to breathe), and
respiratory failure with hypoxia.
Review of Resident 152's clinical record titled, Order Summary Report, dated 4/17/2025, indicated an order
of Resident 152's continuous use of oxygen. Further review revealed an order dated 2/14/2025, May use
O2 CONCENTRATOR. Check concentrator filter weekly & wash or change every Friday or PRN. as needed
AND every night shift every Sat [Saturday] Check & wash or change.
During an observation inside Resident 152's room on 4/14/2025 at 10:39 a.m., Resident 152 was in bed,
and on oxygen therapy at 2 lpm thru NC. The oxygen concentrator's filter located at the back of the device
was observed with thick grayish substance build up.

Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff had appropriate
competencies to provide nursing care for one (Resident 192) out of seven sampled residents when
Resident 192 was not assisted by staff when requested.
This failure had the potential for physical injury and psychosocial distress.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/14/25 at 10:55 a.m. with Resident 192 in her room,
Resident 192 was trying to transfer from the bed to the wheelchair. Resident 192 pressed the call light.
Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) X entered the room, turned off the call light button near Resident 192 and left
the room.
During an interview on 4/14/25 at 10:58 a.m. with CNA X, CNA X verified she did not assist Resident 192
when she entered the room and turned off the call light.
During an interview on 4/17/25 at 9:37 a.m. with Case Manager (CM) N, CM N stated they have to ask the
residents if they need help before turning off the call light and then assist the residents.
During an interview on 4/17/25 at 4:04 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated staff must
address the needs of residents whenever they press the call light.
A review of Resident 192's medical record indicated diagnoses of Primary Osteoarthritis of right and left
ankles and feet (a condition where the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones in joints wears
down over time, causing the bones to rub against each other and leading to pain, stiffness, and limited
movement), bilateral primary osteoarthritis of hip, muscle weakness, and difficulty in walking.
A review of Resident 192's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool), dated 2/14/25, indicated a brief
interview for mental status score of 14 [BIMS, a tool used to assess cognition (knowing, learning, and
understanding), a score of 0 to 7 indicates severe cognitive impairment, 8-12 moderate impairment, 13-15
patient is cognitively intact].
A review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) entitled Answering the Call Light revised September 2022,
the P&P indicated, .Steps in the procedure 1. Answer the resident call system immediately. When
answering an auditory request for assistance, identify yourself and politely respond to the resident by
his/her name a. If the resident needs assistance, indicate the approximate time it will take for you to
respond .c. If the resident's request is something you can fulfill, complete the task within five minutes if
possible.

licensed pharmacist.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the accurate accountability of controlled
medications (medication with a high potential for abuse and addiction) when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Controlled medications were signed out of the Controlled Drug Record (CDR, an inventory or count
sheet) but not documented on the medication administration record (MAR) as administered for four out of
five residents (Residents 15, 61, 81, and 114).
2. Records of wasted controlled medications did not contain the co-signature from another nurse for four
randomly selected residents (Resident 81, 294, 295, and 296) as per facility policy and procedures.
These failures had the potential result to the misuse and abuse of controlled substance medications.
Findings:
1. During the survey, the CDRs for five random residents receiving as-needed controlled medications were
selected for review.
During the interview on 4/16/25 at 10:48 a.m., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) C explained the
process of administering a controlled medication. The steps included assessing the resident for pain,
checking the physician's order, signing it out of the CDR, administering the medication, and documenting
the administration on the MAR.
During a concurrent interview and record review with ADON C, the following were identified:
a. Resident 114 had a physician's order, dated 1/8/25, for oxycodone (a potent narcotic for pain) 15
milligrams (mg, unit of measurement), 1 tablet every 4 hours as needed (PRN) for moderate pain.
On 04/16/25 at 10:51 a.m., a review of Resident 114's CDR for oxycodone 15 mg and the April 2025 MAR
with ADON C indicated the nursing staff signed out of the CDR, but did not document on the MAR to show
the medication was administered to Resident 114 on two occasions: on 4/1/25 at 1100 and 4/5/25 at 2100.
ADON C confirmed this finding and stated it should be documented on the MAR.
b. Resident 61 had a physician's order, dated 3/18/25, for oxycodone 5 mg, 2 tablets every 8 hours as
needed for mild/severe pain and this dosage was increased to every 4 hours on 4/8/25.
On 04/16/25 at 10:54 a.m., a review of Resident 61's CDR for oxycodone 5 mg and the April 2025 MAR
with ADON C indicated the nursing staff signed out of the CDR but did not document the medication
administration on the MAR on four occasions: on 4/3/25 at 1230; 4/11/25 at 1353; 4/11/25 at 2220; and
4/12/25 at 2100. ADON C confirmed this finding and stated it should be documented.
c. Resident 81 had a physician's order, dated 4/26/23, for hydrocodone acetaminophen 5-325 MG (a
narcotic medication to treat pain), 1 tablet by mouth every 8 hours as needed for severe pain.

accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an accurate and systematically
organized documentation in accordance with accepted professional standards and practices for one of five
sampled residents (residents with peek-a-boo mittens [a type of mitten, often used in healthcare settings,
that have a flap on the top that allows for easy inspection of the hand without removing the mitten and
designed to prevent patients from removing medical equipment attached to them]) when Resident 23's
used of peek-a-boo mitten was not documented in all her weekly summaries (a concise report that provides
an overview of a resident's care and progress over the past week).
This failure resulted an inaccurate and inappropriate documentation of Resident 23's weekly summaries.
Findings:

non-cancerous growth of cells) of spinal cord, other specified disorders of brain, dysphagia (difficulty
swallowing) , and encounter for attention to gastrostomy (GT - a surgical procedure that creates an opening
(stoma) into the stomach for the insertion of a feeding tube.
Review of Resident 23's admission minimum data set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment
tool) assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 23's brief interview for mental status (BIMS - an
assessment tool used by facilities to screen and identify memory, orientation, and judgement status of the
resident) score was 00 (a score of 0 to 7 indicates severe cognitive impairment, 8-12 moderate impairment,
13-15 patient is cognitively intact).
Review of Resident 23's clinical record titled, Order Summary Report, dated 4/16/2025, indicated an order
for the use of Resident 23's peek-a-boo hand mitten for prevention of pulling out her GT.
During an initial observation on 4/14/2025 at 10:08 a.m., inside Resident 23's room, Resident 23 was in
bed, with right hand peek-a-boo mitten was in placed, half naked with upper chest exposed and with
caregiver at bedside.
During a concurrent interview with director of nursing (DON) and record review of Resident 23's weekly
summaries for peek-a-boo hand mitten used, DON confirmed Resident 23's used of peek-a-boo hand
mitten and any related comments for its usage were not documented in the following weekly summaries
dated: 2/4/2025; 2/9/2025; 2/16/2025; 2/23/2025; 3/2/2025; 3/9/2025; 3/16/2025; 3/23/2025; 3/30/2025;
4/6/2025; and 4/13/2025. DON stated nurses should have checked the Restraint box because Resident 23
had been using the hand mitten since admission and nurses should have documented any behavior or
observations on Resident 23's used of the hand mitten.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Charting and Documentation, date revised

in the spread of bloodborne infections such as hepatitis B (a serious liver infection caused by the hepatitis
B virus that is most commonly spread by exposure to infected body fluids), hepatitis C (viral liver infection
caused by the hepatitis C virus), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, is a virus that attacks the body's
immune system), and other infections among residents.
These failures had the potential to result in the spread of infection throughout the facility.
Findings:
1. During an observation and concurrent interview on 4/16/25 at 10:10 a.m. with the Infection Preventionist
(IP) (a specialized healthcare professional whose primary role is to prevent and control the spread of
infections within a healthcare setting) in the hallway near Resident 346's room, Resident 346 was sitting in
the wheelchair with his urinary catheter bag touching the floor, under the wheelchair. The IP immediately
adjusted the catheter bag, confirming the bag should not be touching the floor.

arranged the tray within reach. CNA Q returned to Resident 26, opening a container on her tray. CNA Q
removed her gown and gloves and noted there was no trashcan available to dispose of the gown. She
removed it from the room to dispose of it, then cleaned her hands with the nearest hand sanitizer. During a
concurrent interview CNA Q confirmed she did not change her gown, change her gloves or clean her hands
between the residents, also confirming one of the residents were on contact isolation (using specific
practices to prevent the spread of infections that are transmitted through direct or indirect contact with a
patient or their environment). CNA Q stated she should have had cleaned her hands and removed her
