The urine catheter drainage bag was observed hanging from the side of the wheelchair without a privacy cover and visible from the door. A review of the clinical record for Resident #133 revealed an admission to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included, but not limited to neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder as per the Face Sheet. A review of the Physician's Orders revealed: -Indwelling cath [catheter] to straight drainage, 16 FR [french], bulb 30 cc [cubic centimeters], may change for leakage or obstruction, DX [diagnosis]: neurogenic bladder During an interview with Staff A, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on 01/25/23 at 09:50 a.m., she confirmed Resident #133 did not have a privacy cover on his urine catheter drainage bag.

The resident stated it was no one's business to see his catheter. Resident #103 said, I'd like it covered. A review of Resident #103's electronic medical record (MAR) showed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include: neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder, encounter of artificial openings of urinary tract and malignant neoplasm of bladder. A review of the physician orders for Resident #103 dated 01/25/23 showed an order dated 08/28/22 indicating urostomy device to straight drainage due to a diagnosis of bladder cancer.

Staff C made the observation of Resident #103 from the hallway outside the resident's door. Staff C stated, that is not good, we should ensure a more dignified living. Staff C stated the resident's catheter should not be exposed to the public. She stated they should probably move it to the other side of the bed for privacy.

F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 5. A review of Resident #63's medical record revealed Resident #63 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of psychosis, diabetes mellitus, and major depressive disorder. Resident #53 had a diagnosis of unspecified dementia added to the medical record on 11/6/2019. A review of Resident #63's Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) dated 8/6/2013 revealed no qualifying mental health diagnosis and no PASARR Level II was required. A review of Resident #63's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 12/27/2022 revealed, under Section I: Active Diagnoses, diagnoses of Non-Alzheimer's Dementia, anxiety disorder, depression, and psychotic disorder. Review of Resident #63's medical record revealed the resident was not assessed for PASARR Level II. 6. A review of the admission Record revealed Resident #94 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of delusion disorders and psychotic disorder with delusions due to known physiological condition. A review of Resident #94's PASARR Level I assessment dated [DATE] revealed no qualifying mental health diagnosis and no PASARR Level II was required. A review of Resident #94's medical record revealed a new diagnosis of unspecified dementia, unspecified severity, with psychotic disturbance. A review of Resident #94's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed a diagnosis of psychotic disorder and the resident was not assessed for PASARR Level II. Review of a facility policy titled, Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR), revised 10/06/22, showed the facility will ensure that potential admissions are screened for possible serious Mental Disorders (MD) or Intellectual Disabilities (ID) and related conditions. This initial prescreening is referred to as PASARR level I and is completed prior to admission to a nursing facility. A negative level I screen permits admission to proceed and ends the PASARR process unless a possible serious mental disorder or intellectual disability arises later. A positive level I screen necessities an in-depth evaluation of the individual by the state's designated authority known as PASARR level II which must be conducted prior to admission to a nursing facility. Under procedure: (1.) Ensure level I PASARR screening has been completed on potential admissions prior to admission. (5.) When a level II PASARR screening is warranted, it must be obtained as well as determination letter prior to admission. The level II PASARR cannot be conducted by the nursing facility. (13.) Any resident with newly evident or possible serious mental disorder, intellectual disability or a related condition must be referred by the facility to the appropriate state designated mental health or intellectual disability authority for review. (14.) Referral for level II resident review evaluation is required for individuals previously identified by PASARR to have a mental disorder, intellectual disability, or a related condition who experiences significant change. Based on record review, staff interviews, and review of the facility's policy, the facility failed to complete the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) Level II upon a new qualifying mental health diagnosis for six (Residents #40, #78, #95, #55, #63 and #94) of seven residents (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105792 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 16 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105792 B.
