Representing the Department of Public Health: HFEN, 40583 HFEN, 34271 HFEN, 40327 HFEN, 34273 HFEN, 40623 The facility census was 79. The sample size was 41.

(i) Where changes in coverage are made to items and services covered by Medicare and/or by the Medicaid State plan, the facility must provide notice to residents of the change as soon as is reasonably possible. (ii) Where changes are made to charges for other items and services that the facility offers, the facility must inform the resident in writing at least 60 days prior to implementation of the change. (iii) If a resident dies or is hospitalized or is transferred and does not return to the facility, the facility must refund to the resident, resident representative, or estate, as applicable, any deposit or charges already paid, less the facility's per diem rate, for the days the resident actually resided or reserved or retained a bed in the facility, regardless of any minimum stay or discharge notice requirements. (iv) The facility must refund to the resident or resident representative any and all refunds due the resident within 30 days from the resident's date of discharge from the facility. (v) The terms of an admission contract by or on behalf of an individual seeking admission to the facility must not conflict with the requirements of these regulations. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on staff interview and document review, the facility did not provide 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident 75) a "Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice of NonCoverage" (SNF ABN).

The ED acknowledged she was unaware that Resident 75 should have received a SNF ABN and stated it will be corrected.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on staff interviews and clinical record review, the facility failed to notify the local Long-Term Care (LTC) Ombudsman (advocate) of the residents' transfer to the local emergency room (ER) for 4 of 41 sampled residents, (Resident 51, Resident 5, Resident 73, and Resident 17). This failure denied Resident 51, Resident 5, Resident 73, and Resident 17 of the added protection of having the LTC Ombudsman being made aware of their transfer from the facility.

Resident 51 was transferred from the facility to the local ER on 3/27/19 and 4/12/19; b. Resident 5 was transferred from the facility to the local ER on 3/19/19 and 4/8/19; c. Resident 73 was transferred from the facility to the local ER on 3/15/19 and 4/5/19; and d. Resident 17 was transferred from the facility to the local ER on 1/15/19. Further clinical record review revealed there was no documented evidence that a notice of transfer/discharge was sent to the LTC Ombudsman for any of the ER transfers regarding Resident 51, Resident 5, Resident 73, and Resident 17. In a concurrent interview and record review on 5/7/19, at 4:43 p.m., licensed nurse (LN) 4 stated the facility had not been notifying the LTC Ombudsman when residents transferred to the ER. LN 4 stated there were no written notification sent to LTC Ombudsman. In a concurrent interview and record review on 5/8/19, at 11:42 a.m., the executive director (ED) confirmed transfer/discharge notices were not being sent to the LTC Ombudsman. The ED explained the LTC Ombudsman "Should have been notified [regarding residents transfer/discharge to ER]."

F641 SS=D Accuracy of Assessments CFR(s): 483.20(g)
F641 06/07/2019 §483.20(g) Accuracy of Assessments. The assessment must accurately reflect the resident's status. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, staff interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool) for 1 of 41 sampled residents (Resident 68) accurately reflected the resident's functional status (individual's ability to perform activities of daily living [ADLs]). This failure had the potential for Resident 68 to receive inaccurate care. Findings: Resident 68 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses which included dementia (a decline in mental ability) and abnormalities of gait and mobility. Resident 68 was observed sitting in a geri chair (recliner chair with wheels) while in the dining room on 5/6/19, at 11:30 a.m. Resident 68 did not move their geri chair on their own; staff moved the geri chair for Resident 68.

In an interview with the MDS coordinator (MDSC) on 5/8/19, at 2:58 p.m., the MDSC verified the information on Resident 68's 11/13/18, 2/6/19, and 4/25/19 MDS. She acknowledged Section G0110B1 and Section G0110E1 was coded as "4" on the 4/25/19 MDS and this MDS was different from the 11/13/18 and the 2/6/19 MDS. The code of "4" indicated Resident 68 was totally dependent on staff for transfers and mobility. The MDSC stated Resident 68 was able to bear weight for transfer but needed staff assistance for support. In an interview with the assistant director of nurses (ADON) on 5/9/19, at 2:46 p.m., she stated Resident 68 did not self propel their wheelchair or geri chair. In a subsequent interview with the MDSC on 5/9/19, at 2:51 p.m., she explained, "There was no actual decline in Resident 68's functional status. The discrepancy [or change of code from "3" to "4"] was because staff started to use the stand lift (a mechanical device used to assist a resident who can bear weight from sitting to standing position) for Resident 68 so the nurse who filled out the most current MDS coded it as a "4". The MDSC verbalized the MDS assessment was "supposed to be based on the resident's ability and not what staff is doing for the resident."

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observations and interviews, the facility failed to ensure proper storage of and allowed access to chemicals when a liquid drug deactivation container (Brand Name product that uses activated charcoal to neutralize the chemicals in pills, liquids, controlled substances and transdermal patches) was stored on the outside of three medication carts for a census of 79. This failure had the potential for staff, visitors, and residents to ingest the liquid charcoal, resulting in vomiting, and skin or eye irritation. Findings: During a concurrent medication pass observation and interview on 5/8/19 at 8:25 a.m., licensed nurse (LN) 2 was administering medications to Resident 18. LN 2 was reviewing the medications with Resident 18. Resident 18 had a calcium with vitamin D tablet in her hand and stated to LN 2 that she did not want to take it; the tablet then fell on the floor. LN 2 picked up the medication and stated she would place it in the container with the [Brand Name] drug deactivation liquid. The container was located on the left side of the medication cart approximately 10 inches off the floor. LN 2 was observed placing the tablet into the container.

In a concurrent interview and observation on 5/8/19, at 3:04 p.m., with the assistant director of nurses (ADON), the ADON stated the liquid drug deactivation container should be inside the medication cart as staff will not be able to monitor it at all times. An observation of the liquid drug deactivation container revealed it contained 16 ounces (a unit of measure) of activated carbon (charcoal), surfactants (substances that reduce surface tension), and neutralizing agents. The container indicated, "Warnings Ingestion of this products will induce vomiting.
