The Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) documented on 03/02/23 that Resident #97 had a BIMS score of 14,
indicating she was cognitively intact. For functional status, this MDS documented Resident #97 required
extensive assistance of 1 staff member for personal hygiene.
Review of Resident #97's care plans revealed there was a care plan in place regarding Resident #97 being
at risk for altered skin integrity, but there was no care plan specifically regarding her hair.
During the initial tour of the facility conducted on 04/16/23 at 10:41 AM, Resident #97 stated she had asked
the staff multiple times to help her shave her head. Resident #97 said her hair was falling out because of
her diagnosis (named) and it was very uncomfortable for her to have her hair the way it was. She stated
wanted her head shaved because it would be more comfortable for her.
An interview was conducted with Resident #97 on 04/18/23 at 9:43 AM. The surveyor immediately
observed that her head was unshaved. The surveyor asked Resident #97 about her hair, who stated the
staff still had not helped her shave it. The surveyor asked who she has been asking for assistance in this
matter, and stated she had asked nurses and CNAs, and no one had helped her.
An interview was conducted with Staff E, CNA and Staff M, Registered Nurse (RN) on 04/18/23 at 9:47 AM.
Staff E and Staff M stated Resident #97 had not told them about wanting her head shaved. Staff E stated a
beautician comes to the facility each week on Tuesdays and can help Resident #97 do her hair. The
surveyor explained that Resident #97 did not want her hair done, she wanted her head shaved. Staff E and
Staff M seemed confused by this and did not respond. The surveyor asked that one of the staff speak to the
resident and the beautician regarding her concern.
An interview was conducted with Resident #97 on 04/18/23 at 3:37 PM. The surveyor immediately
observed that her head was still unshaved. Resident #97 stated the staff had not come to her room to
discuss her head shave request. Resident #97 stated she was upset that the staff were not helping her with
her request.
An interview was conducted with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) on 04/18/23 at 3:42 PM. The
surveyor explained to the DON that Resident #97 was upset and depressed about this concern and that the

from Resident #97 about having her head shaved. She said she would talk to Resident #97 now and help
her complete this request.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to provide medically related social services in
a timely manner for 1 of 2 sampled residents reviewed for social services (Resident #80).
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Resident #80 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was last readmitted on [DATE]. Resident
#80 had a medical history significant for a Stroke, Heart Failure, Muscle Weakness, Hypertension, Atrial
Fibrillation, Insomnia, Major Depressive Disorder, Paranoid Schizophrenia, Dementia, Blood Clot, Anxiety,
and Chronic Pain.
Review of Resident #80's Physician Orders revealed an initial order for a Psychiatric Consult was written on
12/28/22, despite Resident #80 being admitted in November 2022 with a significant psychiatric history.
Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) of 11/17/22, documented in part:
Under Section A for Identification Information, this MDS documented Resident #80 was not currently
considered by the state Level II Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) process to have
serious mental illness and/or intellectual disability or a related condition;
Under Section I for Active Diagnoses, Resident #80 had a medical history significant for Anxiety,
Depression, and Schizophrenia;
Under Section C for Cognitive Pattern, a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12, indicating
moderate cognitive impairment
Under Section N for Medications, Resident #80 had received 5 days of antipsychotic medications since
admission. This section also documented Resident #80 was receiving antipsychotic medications on a
routine basis
Under Section E for Behavior, Resident #80 displayed rejection of cares-behavior of this type occurred 1-3
days.
Review of the Level I PASRR sent from the hospital on [DATE], when Resident #80 was admitted , revealed
the PASRR was incomplete and did not contain the documentation of the above diagnoses. If these
diagnoses had been documented properly, the resident would have received a Level 2 PASRR which would
have led her to receiving psychiatric services sooner.
Review of Resident #80's care plans revealed there was a care plan in place regarding Resident #80 being
at risk for behavior symptoms related to her diagnosis of Paranoid Schizophrenia, that she refused
treatment and medications, and that she used racial slurs toward staff members. There was no care plan in
place regarding Resident #80 being under the care of a court appointed guardian.
During the initial tour of the facility conducted on 04/16/23 at 11:13 AM, Resident #80 was screened related
to a concern she had communicated to the surveyor. During the initial record review, the

surveyor noted Resident #80 was under the care of a court appointed guardian.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
An interview was conducted with the resident's legal guardian on 04/18/23 at 2:07 PM. The guardian
explained that Resident #80 required a guardian due to being an indigent, having no family, and having a
declining health status. The guardian explained that he works at the Legal Aide office as a Social Worker.
He explained that in order for a person to become a ward, a referral is filled out by a facility and the person
is evaluated by 3 professionals and then a judge who determines (based on the evaluation) if the person
meets the criteria. He said the guardianship protocol states a ward must be seen every 3 months but the
Legal Aide protocol states they must see each ward every month, so he said he sees Resident #80 every
month.
Residents Affected - Few
The guardian stated Resident #80 used to live at another facility and then was discharged to a local
hospital. He said no one at the initial facility told him that Resident #80 had been sent to the hospital. When
she was discharged from the hospital, Resident #80 was admitted to this facility because she did not want
to go back to the other facility, but no one at this facility or the hospital had told him that Resident #80 was
admitted to this facility. He said he did not know where Resident #80 was until she called him asking him to
go to the initial facility to get her belongings for her.
The guardian stated Resident #80 had a known history of Paranoid Schizophrenia. He stated Resident #80
called in lots of complaints and concerns to him, the police, the Department of Children and Families, and
the Agency for Health Care Administration. He said all the reports are unfounded/not substantiated.
The guardian stated Resident #80 was being followed by the Psychiatrist at the initial facility. He stated he
did not know until January(2023) that the Psychiatrist was not seeing her at this facility. He said he told the
Social Worker here in January that Resident #80 needed the Psychiatrist consult for care. He said he feels
Resident #80's psychiatric issues were more substantial than her health diagnoses.
An interview was conducted with Staff K, Social Worker on 04/19/23 at 1:43 PM. Staff K stated it is her job
to review the PASRR sent from the hospital for all new admissions within 48 hours of admission. When
asked if the PASRR from 11/13/22 appeared to be complete, Staff K answered that the PASRR was
incomplete because it was missing the documentation of Resident #80's psychiatric diagnoses. When
asked if a Level 2 PASRR should have been completed, Staff K answered that a Level 2 should have been
completed. The surveyor asked if she had contacted Resident #80's guardian when she was admitted .
Staff K stated she did not.
An interview was conducted with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) on 04/19/23 at 2:05 PM. The DON
stated it is the responsibility of the admitting nurse to review a new resident's physician orders and then the
DON and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) review the orders the next day to ensure if the new resident
has orders for psychiatric medications. If they do, then a psychiatry consult is written. The DON stated she
did not call Resident #80's guardian when she was admitted to the facility. The DON stated Resident #80
was not on psychiatric medications when she was admitted , but the admission MDS documented she was.
Further review of Resident #80's physician orders revealed there was an order written from 11/13/22 to
01/31/22 for ARIPiprazole Oral Tablet 20 MG Give 20 mg by mouth at bedtime for Depression.

After entering the resident's room, Staff B gave the resident the medication cup containing the medication
tablets and a bottle of water and then left the bedside to wash her hands in the bathroom. While Staff B was

then looked into the medication cup and saw 3 tablets remaining in the cup. She then tipped 2 of the
remaining tablets into her mouth, the 3rd fell into the bedsheets (the Xarelto tablet). The resident did not
notice this. When Staff B returned to the bedside, she began to administer the resident's eye drops, but the
surveyor intervened and told Staff B about the Xarelto tablet that fell into the bedsheets. Staff B searched
and eventually found the tablet tucked under the resident's comforter. Without surveyor intervention, Staff B
