This deficiency resulted in Resident 54 and Resident 35 to reside in a room that was not maintained in a home-like environment. Findings: A review of Resident 54's FaceSheet showed Resident was admitted to the facility on 9/1/03. A review of Resident 35's FaceSheet showed Resident was admitted to the facility on 8/5/11. During an interview with Resident 54 on 2/6/19 at 8:54 a.m., Resident 54 stated his room "stinks of urine". Resident 54 stated his roommate "urinates, then some spills and gets dumped on the floor." Resident 54 stated he had talked to the facility about the smell, the facility stated they were going to do something about it, "but nothing gets done."

The DON stated the 700 wing had a sewer problem underneath the carpet in the hallway, but confirmed the odor from room 704 was not a "sewer" smell, but instead a strong urine odor. During a concurrent interview and record review with Housekeeping Supervisor (HSS) on 2/6/19 at 9:44 a.m., the HSS stated there was a schedule for deep cleaning of the nine rooms with carpet in the facility once a month. Record review showed deep clean of room 704 by janitor was scheduled on January 24th, 2019. The HSS stated he did not keep a log regarding deep cleans, but relied on a verbal communication of completion of the rooms by the janitor. During an interview with Resident 35 on 2/6/19 at 12:08 p.m., Resident 35 stated he did know there was a "urine smell" in his room, and stated, "It is probably my fault because I have two urinals and sometimes they spill." Resident 35 stated he had been in his room "a long time", and had grown accustomed to the smell. During an interview with the DON on 2/7/19 at 10:54 a.m., the DON stated she had worked at the facility since July, 2018, and had been aware since she had been here that room 704 had a strong urine smell. The DON stated the issue regarding room 704 and the strong urine smell had been addressed in meetings and huddles, but stated housekeeping stated it was in the carpets, which went into the concrete, and there was nothing they could do. During an interview with the HSS on 2/7/19 at 11:03 a.m., the HSS stated he had been aware of the carpet smell in room 704, for a while.

This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 97 not receiving appropriate mental health referrals and care. Findings: Review of Resident 97's face sheet, dated 12/18/18, indicated Resident 97 was admitted to the facility on 12/20/16 and was re-admitted on 10/24/18 with multiple diagnoses that included depressive (feeling sad) episodes and anxiety (feeling worried or nervous) disorder. Review of Resident 97's medical record, indicated Resident 97's initial PASARR was completed on 12/21/16. Review of Resident 97's record a PASARR form, dated 12/19/18, indicated the diagnoses of depressive disorder and anxiety disorder were not listed under question 13.

During an interview with MRA on 2/06/19 at 11:23 a.m., MRA stated Resident 97's original admit PASARR was done on 12/21/2016, and the PASARRs dated 7/24/18, 9/10/18, 11/30/18 and 12/19/18 were incorrectly completed because question 16 was answered "yes". MRA stated question 16 should have been answered "no" because all those PASARRs were done after the 18 month time frame. MRA stated resident's medical diagnoses of depressive episodes and anxiety disorder should have been listed on the 12/19/18 PASARR. During an interview with the Medical Records Director (MRD) on 2/06/19 11:26 a.m., MRD stated PASARRs should be done on residents upon admission and for every readmission. MRD stated Resident 97's PASARR, dated 12/19/18, was inaccurately completed because question 16 should have been answered "No" because the 18 month timeframe had ended.
