There were 235 residents residing in the facility at the time of the survey. The findings include.Record review of a policy titled Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) revealed it is the policy of the facility to ensure that all residents receive a PASARR in accordance with State and Federal requirements and that the PASARR is updated whenever mental health diagnoses or conditions change. Observations on 12/02/25 at 10:43 AM Resident #16 was awake in low bed, on 12/03/25 at 11:58 AM and on 12/04/25 at 12:26 PM Resident #16 was observed in room being fed by staff no concerns noted.Resident #16 was initially admitted on [DATE] and re-entered the facility on 12/11/24 with medical diagnoses that included Parkinson's Disease without Dyskinesia, Mood Disorder due to a Known Physiological Condition (Unspecified), Bipolar Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Major Depressive Disorder, Single Episode, Unspecified.Record review of a Significant Change - No PPS MDS dated [DATE] revealed Section A had no mention of the PASARR. Section C documented a BIMS score of 6, indicating moderate to severe cognitive impairment. Section I showed the resident had diagnoses of Anxiety, Depression, and bipolar disorder. Section N showed the resident did not receive any antipsychotic medications but did receive antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications. Record review of the care plan, with a review start date of 12/10/25 and target completion date of 03/08/26 included a focus on the use of anti-anxiety medication for an anxiety disorder, use of antidepressant medication for depression and insomnia, with goals for the resident to remain free from adverse reactions related to therapy. Interventions included monitoring and documenting reactions such as drowsiness, confusion, impaired judgment .hostility or hallucinations .prevention of over-sedation . or suicidal thoughts and obtaining psychological services when needed.Record review of a physician's orders dated 08/21/25 showed an active order for Clonazepam 1 milligram (mg) tablet, to be given twice daily for anxiety. Record review revealed the admission PASARR provided by the hospital and the PASARR completed by the facility did not document the resident's mental health diagnoses of depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder after these diagnoses became effective and began receiving treatment for these mental health conditions.During an interview on 12/02/25 at 6:53 PM the Social Services Director stated: Upon review of the admission PASARR completed at the facility and the PASARR provided by the hospital at the time of admission, findings were compared and verified. Neither PASARR contained the diagnoses listed in the medical record. The diagnoses of depression and anxiety were identified after admission and therefore were not reflected on the admission PASARR. The resident was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Social Services acknowledges that the PASARR should have been updated when these diagnoses became effective.

Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement an effective Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) program. As evidenced by repeat citations related to F0584 - Housekeeping and Maintenance, F0645 - Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR, F0695 - Respiratory Care and F0867- QAPI/Quality Assessment and Assurance (QAA) Improvement Activities). There were 235 residents residing in the facility at the time of the survey. The findings include. Review of the facility's survey history revealed during the recertification survey with an exit date of 06/26/2024, the facility was cited: F0584: Safe/Clean/Comfortable/Homelike Environment; F0645-PASARR (Preadmission Screening and Resident Review), for incomplete PASARR documentation, and F0695-Respiratory/Tracheostomy Care and Suctioning for failure to ensure prescribed respiratory care and F0867- QAPI/Quality Assessment and Assurance (QAA) Improvement Activities).During the current survey with an exit date of 12/05/2025, the surveyors identified repeated deficient practices for: F0584: Safe/Clean/Comfortable/Homelike Environment; F0645- PASARR (Preadmission Screening and Resident Review), and F0695: Respiratory/Tracheostomy Care and Suctioning. Interview with the Administrator on 12/05/2025 at 7:18 PM, revealed the QAA committee meets on the first Friday of each month and the last meeting was held on November 7, 2025 the committee includes the Medical Director, Administrator, Director of Nursing, Assistant Director of Nursing, Admissions, Social Services, MDS, Activities, Dietary, Wound Care, Restorative Nurse, Infection Preventionist, Therapy, Central Supply, Housekeeping, Maintenance, Committee Physician, and Pharmacy. the QAA committee is meant to improve the quality of care and services by reviewing practices, identifying problems or opportunities for improvement, and putting corrective actions in place. It's a team effort, and everyone's input is used to find solutions and make improvements. When asked how the committee knows when an issue comes up, staff said concerns are raised during daily morning meetings, through audits, or staff reporting processes and issues are reviewed by department heads during rounds, prioritized based on risk and resident impact, and addressed immediately if they are high risk. The QAA committee revisits interventions to make sure they are working, provides re-education if needed, and incorporates staff feedback to ensure corrective actions stay effective with setting a timeframe, usually about three months, and then review progress. Monitoring is ongoing through rounds, audits, teachable moments, monthly town halls, and safety committee activities. The committee tracks improvement using audits, observations, and comparing reports to previous data to make sure interventions are working. Review of the policy titled Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) and dated 11/28/2012 revealed that nursing home QAPI is the coordinated application of two mutually reinforcing aspects of a quality management system: Quality Assurance (QA) and Performance Improvement (PI). QAPI takes a systematic, interdisciplinary, comprehensive, and data-driven approach to maintaining and improving safety and quality in nursing homes while involving residents and families, and all nursing home caregivers in practical and creative problem solving. Quality Assurance (QA): QA is the specification of standards for quality of care, service and outcomes, and systems throughout the facility for assuring that care is maintained at acceptable levels in relation to those standards Event ID: Facility ID: 105803 If continuation sheet Page 7 of 7
