Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the most current survey results and the plan of correction was posted in a place readily accessible to residents and the public. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential for the residents, family and their legal representatives to not be fully informed of the facility's deficient practices and how they were corrected. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/15/25 at 3:58 p.m., with the Administrator Assistant (AA) the survey results binder was observed stored in a file organizer mounted high on the wall outside of the medical records office in the east wing hallway. AA acknowledged the survey results binder is not easily accessible to residents in wheelchairs, and it should be placed in a location where residents can review it without having to ask for help. During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/16/25 at 4:45 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the survey results binder was reviewed. The survey results binder included the results of complaints, and the last recertification survey conducted from 3/18/24 to 3/21/24. The DON was not able to find the plan of correction in the binder. DON stated the plan of correction is not in the binder for residents and visitors to review and acknowledged it should be. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Survey Results, Examination of, (undated), the P&P indicated, 2.

F 0645 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 follow up on positive Level I Preadmission Screening and Resident Reviews (PASRR-mental disability assessment) for two of eight sampled residents (Residents 34 and 43). Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to result in the residents not followed up for mental health screening post admission and not being adequately assessed to receive recommended care and treatment. Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 34's admission Record (AR) indicated, the resident was admitted to the facility with a history of diagnoses that include unspecified psychosis (when someone has delusions or hallucinations), unspecified mood affective disorder (mood disturbances that cause significant distress or impairment), and schizophrenia (mental disorder characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking, speech, and behavior).

Further record review of document titled, DHCS letter, with the subject of Notice of Attempted Evaluation, dated 8/07/24, for Resident 34 indicated, Unable to complete Level II evaluation .Facility staff were unresponsive to two or more separate attempts of communication within 48 hours of the Level I Screening .The case is now closed. To reopen, the facility must resubmit a new Level I screening. A review of Resident 34's clinical records showed no new level I PASRR was done after the 8/7/24 recommendation by DHCS. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 4/17/25 at 10:52 a.m., the DON acknowledged Resident 34 had a positive PASRR Level I and a PASRR Level II was not done. The DON stated Resident 34 was admitted directly to the facility from a hospital and was told by a representative at DHCS that the facility did not need to have Resident 34 complete a Level II PASRR. The DON could not procure any documentation from the State or DHCS indicating the Level II PASRR was not required. 2. During a review of the medical record for Resident 43, on 4/16/25 the medical record indicated an admission date of 10/16/2024 with diagnoses including but not limited to 'Alzheimer's' (a progressive brain disorder that primarily was conducted. affects memory, thinking, and behavior), 'Dementia' (a decline in mental ability, particularly memory, thinking, and reasoning, that significantly impacts daily life), and 'unspecified psychosis' (a diagnosis assigned when someone experiences psychotic symptoms (delusions or hallucinations), but their symptoms don't fully meet the criteria for a specific psychotic disorder, or there's insufficient information to make a more specific diagnosis).

F 0645 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 10/16/24, the letter stated, Facility staff were unresponsive to two or more separate attempts of communication within 48 hours of the Level I Screening. During an interview conducted with the DON on 4/16/25 at 9:01 a.m., the DON confirmed that facility's follow up was not made to DHCS because DON thought the case was closed, but acknowledged they should have followed up with DHCS. Further review of the medical record for Resident 43, it was noted that on 1/25/25, Resident 43 had a significant change in condition to Hospice (a type of specialized healthcare that focuses on providing comfort and support to individuals facing the end of life, particularly those with terminal illnesses), and a PASARR screening had not been initiated. During an interview with the DON on 4/15/25 at 1:41 p.m., the DON acknowledged that a PASRR Level I Screening should have been done earlier for Resident 43's significant change in condition. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, admission Criteria (2001), the P&P indicated in part, . If the Level I screen indicates that the individual may meet the criteria for a MD (mental disorder), ID (intellectual disorder), or RD (related disorder), he or she is referred to the state PASARR representative for the Level II (evaluation and determination) screening process .

This failure had the potential for Resident 13 to receive an unnecessary medication and have adverse complications due to the medication. Findings: During a review of the order summary (OS) for Resident 13, the OS indicated Lorazepam 1 mg (milligram unit of measure) tablet. Give 1 tablet by mouth every 8 hours as needed for anxiety for 30 Days m/b (manifested by) inability to relax. Starting 3/18/25 with STOP date of 4/17/25.
