F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. 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 accuracy of assessments when the behavior section did not accurately reflect the status of Residents #88, #159 and #161. This affected three residents (#88, #159 and #161) of four residents reviewed for behaviors. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Record review revealed Resident #88 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia with behavioral disturbance, depression, and insomnia. Review of the behavior documentation report for April 2023 revealed Resident #88 demonstrated pacing/wandering on 04/15/23 and 04/21/23 and screaming on 04/17/23 and 04/19/23. Review of the behavior tracking log and progress notes for April 2023 revealed Resident #88 was resistive to care on 04/17/23, 04/18/23, 40/20/23 and 04/21/23. Review of the 5-day admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 04/21/23, revealed Resident #88 was assessed in section E0200(C) for other behavioral symptoms not directed towards others (e.g., verbal/vocal symptoms like screaming or disruptive sounds) as behavior not exhibited and the response was locked on 04/17/23 prior to the assessment reference date (ARD) of 04/21/23. Section
E0800 for rejection of care was assessed as behavior not exhibited and the response was locked on 04/17/23 prior to the ARD of 04/21/23. Section E0900 for wandering was assessed as behavior not exhibited and the response was locked on 04/17/23 prior to the ARD of 04/21/23. Interview on 05/04/23 at 12:18 P.M. with Social Services Designee (SSD) #608 and Licensed Social Worker (LSW) #509 verified Resident #88's 5-day admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] did not capture all the behaviors documented during the look back period from the ARD because it was completed prior to the ARD. LSW #509 indicated it was acceptable to complete the assessment anytime within the assessment period. 2. Record review revealed Resident #159 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including psychosis not due to substance or known physiological condition, dementia with behavioral disturbance, post-traumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety, and insomnia. Review of the behavior documentation report for March 2023 and April 2023 revealed Resident #159 demonstrated pacing/wandering and disruptive sounds on 03/30/23, and refusal of care on 04/01/23. Review of the behavior tracking log for March 2023 and April 2023 revealed Resident #159 (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
