Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the correct and complete Beneficiary Protection Notification forms were issued to residents who were receiving Medicare Part A Services in the facility.
Residents Affected - Few This applies to 2 of 3 residents (R76 and R392) reviewed for beneficiary notice in the sample of 18. The findings include: 1. R76's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R76 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included other disorders of the nervous system, morbid obesity, vasculitis limited to the skin, polyneuropathy, and cellulitis of bilateral lower limbs. R76's SNF ABN (Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notification) form showed R76's Medicare Part A skilled services started on February 24, 2024, and last covered day of Medicare Part A services was May 24, 2024. R76 was discharged from Medicare Part A services by the facility when the Medicare Part A services days were exhausted. The facility did not issue a NOMNC (Notice of Medicare Non- Coverage), instead they documented on the SNF Beneficiary Notification Review form not an insurance plan. On September 17, 2024, at 9:29 AM, V20 (SSD/Social Services Director) stated R76 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and remained in the facility as private pay. V20 said, The NOMNC (Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage) form is presented to a resident when they are no longer covered by their insurance. Typically, residents are notified as soon as the facility is made aware of the last covered Medicare Part A days. V20 said she did not issue R76 an ABN form because she was new to the facility and was not aware she had to do so. 2. R396's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R392 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnosis that included multiple fractures of ribs on the left side, difficulty walking, and muscle weakness.

V20 said she was unable to provide any evidence of documentation that family initiated R392's discharge from the facility. R392's progress note from the business office dated March 6, 2024, showed V21 (R392's family member) reported she was not notified that R392 was going to be private pay. On September 17, 2024, at 12:02 PM, V12 said, When residents are done with their Medicare days, they would either become private pay or they need to apply for Medicaid. When residents are admitted to the facility to receive Medicare Part A services, the first 20 days Medicare pays 100%, the next 80 days Medicare pays 80%, and the remaining 20 % is either covered by either supplemental insurance or out of pocket payment. V12 said once a week they have a Medicare meeting and that is when they discuss each resident who is receiving Medicare Part A services and they look to see how many more days each resident has left of Medicare Part A services coverage. Residents are given the opportunity to appeal for private insurance coverage.

Residents Affected - Some
This applies to 4 of 4 residents (R6, R50, R53, and R75) reviewed for PASARR in the sample of 18. The findings include: 1. R50 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with multiple diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, schizoaffective disorder, and anxiety disorder, based on the face sheet. R50's screening verification form, dated February 5, 2024, showed the resident was screened on January 16, 2024, and the screening indicated nursing facility services are appropriate. R50's PASARR level I screening, dated February 2, 2024, showed the resident had mental health disability, documenting the resident was diagnosed or suspected with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. The screening documented R50's primary medical conditions requiring nursing facility care were unsteady gait, frequent falls, normal pressure hydrocephalus, and therapy was recommended for short term rehabilitation. The screening showed the physician had required 30 days or less of nursing facility care. The same screening documented under outcome rationale showed, Exempted hospital Discharge 30 day approval - A 30 day or less stay in the NF (Nursing Facility) is authorized. Re-screening must occur by or before the 30th day if the individual is expected to remain in the NF beyond the authorization timeframe. On September 16, 2024 at 5:02 PM, V9 (admission Director) stated R50 was assessed at the hospital for the Level I PASARR prior to admission to the facility. V9 stated she was not aware, and had missed to have the re-screening of R50 before his 30th day of stay at the facility. According to V9, R50 was only re-screened on September 15, 2024 (more than seven months of stay at the facility) and had triggered the Level II onsite PASARR assessment. R50's Level II PASARR report, dated September 18, 2024, documented the resident had a serious mental health condition, and his care needs are appropriate to be serviced in a nursing facility setting. The report documented under PASARR determination explanation, R50's PASARR level II mental health condition of schizoaffective disorder requires regular follow up with mental health provider and regular management of medication regimen. The same report showed R50 does not require specialized services, however, attending groups may provide support and socialization for the resident. 2. R75's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R75 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included depression, schizoaffective disorder, and alcohol abuse. R75's PASRR (Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review), dated April 9, 2024, showed R75's PASRR Level I screen was completed.

A re-screening must occur on or before the 30th day if the individual is expected to stay in the nursing facility beyond the authorization timeframe. On September 17, 2024 at 10:26 AM, V9 (Admissions Director) said when residents are admitted to the facility, they need to have a PASSAR (Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review) Level I done. V9 said once they are in the facility, she said she will log into (system) on her computer, and it is there where we can see if someone has an alert to have an updated PASARR I or if they need a PASARR II screening. V9 said R6 and R53 should have had an updated screening 30 days from their admission, and R75 should have had an updated screening after 60 days. The facility provided their policy titled admission Criteria, with a revision date of April 18, 2024. The policy showed 9. All new admissions and readmissions are screened for a mental disorder (MD), intellectual disorder (ID), or related disorders (RD) per the Medicaid Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) process . b. If the Level I screen indicates that the individual may meet the criteria for a MS, ID, or RD, he or she is referred to the state PASARR representative for the Level II (evaluation and determination) screening process.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow their water management plan for Legionella.
Residents Affected - Many
This applies to all 87 residents residing in the facility. The findings include: The facility's Long-Term Care Facility Application for Medicare and Medicaid, dated September 16, 2024, at 11:50 AM, showed the facility census was 87 residents. On September 18, 2024, at 9:02 AM, V18 (Maintenance Director) said he has been in charge of the monitoring for the water management plan for Legionella for about two months. V18 continued to say he is supposed to check water temperatures including the hot water tank weekly, but V18 has not started monitoring or logging the temperatures yet. V18 said chlorine testing of the water is supposed to be performed, but he has not started testing yet. V18 said the facility has two eye wash stations. V18 continued to say he has only cleaned and tested the eye wash stations to ensure the caps come off twice in the past two months. V18 said he does not flush the eye wash stations. On September 18, 2024, at 9:09 AM, in the laundry room, V18 demonstrated how he tests the eye wash stations. V18 turned the water on and within five seconds the caps came off the eye wash station, and V18 turned the water off. V18 did not flush the eye was station for two minutes. On September 18, 2024, at 11:45 AM, V1 (Administrator) said V18 has been monitoring the water management plan for legionella for about two months. V1 continued to say the facility does not have any documentation of monitoring of the water management plan for Legionella, including temperature gauge checks and chlorine testing. V1 said the expectation is V18 completes the monitoring required in the water management plan for Legionella. On September 18, 2024, at 2:01 PM, V1 said the facility just received chlorine testing kits to start performing chlorine level tests. The facility's Water Management Plan, revised on July 23, 2024, showed the facility's Hazard Analysis of the facility's Cold Water Distribution was Risk Basis: Medium Risk: Based on the potential variable chlorine present in the cold-water supply, the potential for microbiological growth is reduced compared to a hot water system. The factors for microbiological growth in conjunction with the potential for water to be aerosolized present a medium risk at this processing step. In addition, distribution piping materials vary based on the various building ages and construction practices. Controls: 1. Systematic water flushing to move disinfectant through the piping system. 2. Emergency disinfection when indicated by added secondary disinfection to the cold-water system. 3. Temporary utilization of Point of Use Filters when indicated. 4. Identify, remove and/or mitigate potential dead-legs and/or cross connections that may exist within the distribution system. 5. Identify, remove and/or mitigate aerators/faucet flow restrictors that may exist within the distribution system. The Plan continued to show the Cold Water Distribution's Critical Control Limit was Potable Water Oxidant: 'Free' Chlorine 0.2 to 4.0 ppm (Parts per Million); monitoring: Free Residual Oxidant Check (Chlorine); Frequency: weekly; Limit Deviation Corrective Action: Vacant resident care areas or any other area/room with plumbing fixtures are to be manually flushed for two minutes every day. The Plan continued to show the facility's Hazard Analysis of the facility's Hot Water Tank Heater and/or Hot Water

Storage, MV Mixing Valve was High Risk: There is potential for microbiological growth at the heating step. This is reduced at temperatures greater than 124 degrees Fahrenheit. Elevated temperatures targets also present a noticeable scalding hazard. These factors provide further reason why maintenance of the target temperatures are an essential control measure. Controls: 1. Adjust temperature to provide further microbiological control and prevent scalding. The Plan showed the Critical Control Limit was Hot Water Storage: Domestic Tanks- not less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Mixing valve to prevent scalding and to deliver water between 100 degrees Fahrenheit and 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Deliver water to kitchen/laundry not less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit; Monitoring: Temperature gauge check; Frequency: Daily. The Plan continued to show the facility's Hazard Analysis for Emergency Eye Wash was Medium Risk: The Emergency Eye Washes and Showers are usually classified as medium risk due to the rarity of their use and the specific situation when they are used. Controls: 1. Monthly Preventative Maintenance/Testing of Emergency Eye washes and showers. The Plan showed Emergency Eye Wash: Critical Control Limit: Perform Regular Flushing; Monitoring: Manually flush for two minutes; Frequency: weekly. The facility does not have documentation to show monitoring was completed for the water management plan for Legionella. The facility's undated policy titled Water Management Program Policy showed General: Facility will participate in the Water Management Program described below to prevent introduction and growth of Legionella in the facility environment. All facilities have been identified as increased risk due to: Patient/residents staying overnight; Treatment of chronic/acute medical problems or weakened immune systems; Patients/residents 65 years and over. Responsible Party: Administrator; Maintenance Supervisor; Housekeeping/Laundry Supervisor; Regional Director of Operations. Assessment: 1. Complete facility legionella environment assessment. Testing: .3. The Maintenance Supervisor will test the potable water system as required for residual chlorine at no less than four locations using test kit provided. Prescribed locations for monthly testing include: Source Water Tank; Hot water holding tank; A random resident faucetHot water; A random resident shower- handheld or fixed shower head- Hot water. 4. A reading of 0.4 to 1.0 at the cold water main site and 0.2 to 1.0 at the hot water holding tank and the hot water resident tap locations listed above is considered a safe residual for controlling legionella bacteria growth. 5. If chlorine levels at the end points (faucets/tubs/showers) are below 0.2 the following actions are necessary: Flush the sample point for 10 minutes and retest. Test other sources in the general are- adjacent rooms. Note results on log; If low levels continue notify the facility Water Quality Management Team and share results on log sheet. The Water Quality Management Team will contact the licensed contractor to formulate remedy action for low levels; All points will be retested to assure remedy action is effective . Program Monitoring and Documentation: 1. The Maintenance Supervisor will fill out the water management log sheets . As of September 18, 2024, at 2:01 PM, the facility did not have completed water management log sheets.
