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** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to refer two (R14, R33) of eight residents with newly evident
or possible serious mental disorder to the appropriate state-designated authority for review in a sample of
35.
Findings include:
R33's current face sheet documents R33 is a [AGE] year-old individual with medical diagnoses that include
but not limited to: paranoid schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, single episode, unspecified,
depressive disorder not elsewhere classified. R33's face sheet further documents R33's medical diagnosis
dated 09/17/2018 as paranoid schizophrenia, 11/12/2014 as depressive disorder not elsewhere classified,
and unspecified schizophrenia unspecified condition.
R33's initial admission date is documented as 11/12/2014, and admission dated as 09/17/2015.
Record review documents R33 has an initial level I PASRR (preadmission screening and resident review)
screening dated 03/04/2014. There is no documentation showing R33 was screened for level II PASRR.
On 08/08/2024 at 3:16pm, V1(Administrator) stated the system triggers V1 to refer the residents for PASRR
I or II PASRR screening or renewal of the resident's PASRR screening. V1 stated level I PASRR is to
determine if a resident is appropriate for nursing home. V1 further stated level II is for the resident to
continue to stay in the facility and gives information if the resident is eligible to live in the community. V1
stated when completing the PASRR, some of the questions on the form include the residents
medical/psychological diagnosis and when the resident was diagnosed. V1 stated she was not sure why a
level II PASRR is required.
V1 stated R33 would be appropriate for a PASRR II screening because of R33's diagnoses of paranoid
schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and paranoid schizophrenia unspecified. V1 stated if R33's
information was put in the state designated authority portal, R33 should trigger for PASRR II screening. V1
stated she was not working at the facility when R33 was admitted , therefore V1 does not know if R33's
information was sent to the state designated authority for PASRR level II screening. V1 stated all residents
including those admitted a long time ago like R33 and have mental health diagnosis should have a level II
PASRR screening completed.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to follow professional standards of
medication administration documentation after administration of medication to prevent medication errors for
19 of 19 (R4, R7, R8, R32, R50, R59, R65, R67, R82, R83, R91, R92, R101, R109, R126, R137, R142,
R167, and R172) residents reviewed for medication pass. This failure affected 19 residents whose
medications were not documented in a timely manner.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
On 08/07/2024 at 8:25AM, surveyor located on the first floor of the facility with V15 (RN/Registered Nurse).
V15 states she has completed her 9:00AM medication pass. V15 stated she began her medication pass at
approximately 6:45AM today for resident's 9:00AM scheduled medications. V15 states she is responsible
for medication cart #2 on the first floor of the facility.
On 08/07/2024 at 9:05AM, surveyor observed that V15 is no longer located at the first-floor nurses' station
and the hard chart MAR (medication administration record) for medication cart #2 is no longer on top of
medication cart #2. Surveyor inquires to other staff members about the location of the manual/hard chart
medication administration record/MAR for V15's assigned residents for medication cart #2. Several staff
members then begin to try to locate V15 and the MAR for medication cart #2.
On 08/07/2024 at 9:08AM, V15 observed walking down the hall on the first floor of the facility with the hard
chart MAR. Surveyor inquires to V15 about why she took the MAR from on top of the medication cart if she
was finished performing her 9:00AM medication administration pass. V15 states she took the MAR so that
she could sign off for the medication that she administered during her medication pass. V15 states she
administered medications to residents but did not sign the MAR. Surveyor inquires to V15 about the
protocol and professional standards for documenting administered medications. V15 states medications
should be documented immediately after it is administered to the resident. V15 states if medication
administration is not documented then it is interpreted that the medication was not administered.
On 08/07/2024 at 9:15AM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing/DON) was made aware of surveyor's observations.
Surveyor inquires to V2 about professional standards and administering medications. V2 states if
administration of medication is not documented, then it was not given. V2 acknowledges if medication
administration is not documented, then it is a possibility for a medication error to occur. V2 states the time
frame for nurses to administer resident medications is one hour before and one hour after the scheduled
administration time.
Record review of the MAR for the first-floor medication cart #2 shows that V15 did not sign for medications
administered to R4, R7, R8, R32, R50, R59, R65, R67, R82, R83, R91, R92, R101, R109, R126, R137,
R142, R167, and R172.

do not perform toenail care and do not cut residents toenails. V16 states the CNAs are responsible for
cutting resident fingernails but are not responsible for cutting resident toenails. V16 states if residents need
their toenails cut, this task is performed by a podiatrist. V16 states a podiatrist visits the facility every
Thursday to perform foot care for the residents. V16 states the CNAs are responsible for informing the
nurses if resident's toenails are overgrown and need to see the podiatrist. V16 states she then follows up to
place the resident on the list to see the podiatrist. V16 states she is not sure how long it has been since R1
and R143 has been assessed and had foot care by the podiatrist.

services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and records review, the facility failed to address behaviors which could endanger one
(R92) health of eight residents reviewed in a sample of 35.
Findings include:
R92 current face sheet documents R92 is an [AGE] year-old individual with medical diagnoses that include
but not limited to: unspecified dementia, unspecified severity, with other behavioral disturbance, major
depressive disorder, recurrent, unspecified, unspecified osteoarthritis, unspecified site.

On 08/06/2024 at 12:40pm, surveyor observed R92 in his room lying in bed, with bed flat and in low
position. R92 was observed chewing on something in his mouth. On 08/06/2024 at 12:42pm, surveyor
asked V5(Certified Nursing Assistant-CNA) to go to R92's with surveyor. Surveyor and V5 observed R92
chewing something in his mouth that was light blue and white in color. V5 asked R92 what was in his (R92)
mouth, R92 did not answer. V5 asked R92 to take out what was in his (R92) mouth. R92 continued to chew
on the item, refusing to take it out. V5 told R92 if he took out the stuff R92 was chewing, V5 would give R92
a chocolate candy bar. R92 spit the item R92 was eating into V5's hand and V5 gave R92 a mini chocolate
bar. V5 stated the stuff R92 was chewing was a piece of R92's incontinence wear, and R92 like to tear his
incontinence wear and eat it. V5 stated R92 likes to eat inedible items and staff have to constantly ask him
not to. V5 stated she did not know what diet R92 is on.
On 08/06/2024 at 12:53pm, V6(Registered Nurse-RN/floor charge nurse) stated R92 should not be eating
his plastic incontinent brief because it is not food and can affect R92's digestive/gastrointestinal system. V6
further stated R92 should have the cloth incontinence pads to prevent R92 from reaping/ tearing his plastic
incontinence wear and eating it because it can cause R92 to choke on the plastic incontinent brief. V6
stated V5 did not notify her R92 was eating/chewing on his incontinent brief.
On 08/06/2024 at 1:05pm, V7(Registered Nurse/Supervisor) stated residents should be monitored and
residents should not be eating their incontinent briefs because it is a choke hazard. V7 further stated staff
should not give their food items to residents because some residents have dietary restrictions and risk for
aspiration. V7 stated R92 eating a piece of his incontinent brief is a behavioral issue and R92 needs to be
monitored and assessed. V7 stated V5 should not have given R92 a chocolate bar but should have asked
R92 to remove what R92 was eating and notify R92's nurse for assistance and assessment, because R92
could have had more items in his mouth and adding the cholate bar could have cause R92 to choke. V7
stated he will take R92's vitals and notify R92's physician.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure controlled substances were counted and
documented, at the beginning and end of each shift for 2 out of 16 shifts. This failure has the potential to
affect 45 residents.
Findings include:
On 08/06/2024 at 12:21PM, surveyor located on the fourth floor of the facility with V14 (LPN/Licensed
Practical Nurse). V14 was responsible for the 4th floor medication cart. V14 states that she performed a
narcotic drug count but did not sign the sheet. Surveyor observed that V14's signature was missing for
08/06/2024 on the Shift Change Accountability Record for Controlled Substances 7am-3pm oncoming shift.
Surveyor also observed that the Shift Change Accountability Record for Controlled Substances for the 4th
floor medication cart had missing signatures for the 7am-3pm oncoming and off going shift on 08/02/2024.
Observation of the Shift Change Accountability Record for Controlled Substances
for the month of August 2024 for the 4th floor medication cart indicated for 2 shifts in August 2024, nurses
had not counted and documented the controlled substances.
The following dates were missing signatures:
On 08/02/2024, 1st shift (7am-3pm)
On 08/06/2024, 1st shift (7am-3pm)
On 08/08/2024 at 11:52AM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) states every shift the off going and oncoming
nurses should count the narcotics together to ensure an accurate count. V2 states if the oncoming nurse is
late, then the off going should count with another nurse or call the supervisor to perform a narcotic count.
V2 states if the controlled substances are not counted, then there is a possibility for drug diversion, which
would have to be investigated.
Facility policy dated 04/11/2023 titled Controlled Substances documents in part, Purpose: 1. To ensure that
schedule II substances are labeled, handled and accounted for in accordance with the Controlled
Substance Act. 8. Change of shift counts will be conducted by authorized nursing personnel to reconcile
