Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
Based on medical record review and staff interview the facility failed to refer a resident with a newly evident
serious mental disorder to the appropriate State-designated authority for a Preadmission and Resident
Review (PASRR) Level II assessment/determination upon change in status. This affected one resident (#7)
of one resident reviewed for PASRR.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #7 revealed an admission date of 09/24/19. Record review
revealed PASRR results, effective 09/24/19 which indicated the resident had no indications of serious
mental illness. Therefore, a PASRR Level II review was not warranted/completed.
Further record review revealed the resident was admitted for an inpatient psychiatric stay from 03/25/20 to
04/09/20. A physician's progress note on 04/13/20 revealed the resident was recently back after a
psychiatric hospitalization. Per staff he had been yelling, shouting and threatening staff and other residents.
A diagnosis of schizophrenia with antipsychotic use was noted in the progress notes. A diagnosis of
schizoaffective disorder was added to the diagnosis list in the medical record on 05/11/20. Review of a
psychiatric progress note dated 06/14/21 revealed the resident continued to be evaluated by psychiatric
services and was receiving antipsychotic medication for schizoaffective disorder.
There was no evidence the resident was referred to the appropriate State-designated authority for a
PASRR Level II resident review once the resident had the inpatient psychiatric stay from 03/25/20 to
04/09/20. As of 07/13/21, a Level II resident review had not been completed after the new mental disorder
was identified.
Interview with Social Service Director #43 on 07/13/21 at 11:19 A.M. confirmed the initial PASRR
completed on admission in 2019 did not identify any serious mental illness. She confirmed the resident had
a new diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder added on 05/11/20 after an inpatient psychiatric stay.
Interview with Business Office Manager #37 on 07/14/21 at 10:28 A.M. confirmed the resident was not
referred to the appropriate State-designated authority for a Level II resident review once the resident had
an inpatient psychiatric stay from 03/25/20 to 04/09/20 with a new mental illness diagnosis.

Review of Resident #53's compressive Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 06/13/21 revealed
a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12 indicating the resident had moderately impaired
cognition for daily decision making abilities. Resident #53 required extensive assistance from two staff
members for bed mobility and transfers and extensive assistance from one staff member for dressing,
eating and toilet use. Resident #53 was assessed without impairments to bilateral upper or lower
extremities and required the use of a wheelchair for mobility. Resident #53 had an indwelling catheter for
bladder elimination and was frequently incontinent of bowel function. Resident #53 had one unstageable
wound which was present upon admission and one deep tissue injury which was present upon admission.
Pressure prevention interventions included a pressure reducing device to residents chair and bed, nutrition
and/or hydration interventions to manage skin problems, and pressure ulcer injury care.
Review of Resident #53's progress notes revealed no activity notes were completed for the resident to
detail activities planned or provided to the resident or the resident's response to activities.
On 07/12/21, 07/13/21, 07/14/21, 07/15/21, 07/19/21 and 07/20/21 observations made of Resident #53

On 07/19/21 at 2:00 P.M. interview with Activity Director (AD) #71 revealed she was currently the only
activity staff member at the facility. Activity Director #71 revealed she does chart on each resident when
they were admitted and with quarterly assessments. AD #71 revealed the last few months she had not been
to complete activity charting. AD #71 revealed when she was able to document, she used different code
numbers. Review of Resident #53's coding with AD #71 revealed most days activity participation was coded
with an 87 which indicated non-applicable. Per AD #71, when this was marked it was not because the
resident refused to participate in the activity, but because she was not able to see the resident that day to
complete a activity or resident's were not provided an activity for that day. Activity Director #71 also
revealed that due to her being the only activity staff member, if she identified a resident who was awake
versus one who was asleep, she would direct her attention towards the resident who was awake.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation, record review, facility policy and procedure review and interview the facility failed to
ensure the resident environment remained free of accident hazards related to smoking. This affected one
resident (#34) of two residents reviewed for accidents.
Findings include:
The facility identified two residents who smoked cigarettes, Residents #34 and #162. The facility identified
smoking times for residents were at 7:00 A.M., 11:00 A.M., 3:00 P.M., 7:00 P.M. and 9:00 P.M. each day.
Review of the medical record for Resident #34 revealed an admission date of 11/08/20 with diagnoses
including diabetes, peripheral vascular disease and right above the knee amputation.
Review of a plan of care, revised on 03/18/21 revealed Resident #34 was a smoker. The goal was for the
resident not to sustain harm or injury related to unsafe smoking practices. Interventions included to assess
for changes in mental status that would effect his ability to smoke safely, educate resident on smoking
policies, monitor for burn holes in clothing, burn marks, etc., monitor for instances of non compliance and
smoking assessment quarterly.
A Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment completed 05/08/21 revealed the resident had a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 11, indicating moderately impaired cognitive status. The MDS
revealed the resident required supervision only with transfers and locomotion.
Review of a smoking safety evaluation, dated 07/08/21 revealed Resident #34 was safe to smoke
unsupervised (no staff supervision). The evaluation revealed the resident he did not require a smoking
apron and the facility stored smoking materials.
On 07/12/21 at 12:03 P.M. Resident #34 was observed to be outside smoking a cigarette without staff
supervision. The resident had three cigarette butts laying on the thigh area of his fleece pajama pants. He
was not observed to use an ash tray to put cigarette ashes in (flipped on asphalt driveway). He then put out
the cigarette he was smoking and placed all four cigarette butts back in the cigarette box holding his
unsmoked cigarettes. Resident #34 stated, at that time, he places his smoked cigarettes back in the box
and takes it back into the facility. He stated he was supposed to give his cigarettes and lighter to the nurse
when he was done smoking. However, Resident #34 was observed to take the box containing the cigarette
butts and his lighter to his room and shut the door. There was one tall receptacle for cigarette butts noted in
the smoking area. There were no ash trays noted and no metal container with closing lid.
On 07/12/21 at 12:40 P.M. interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #36 revealed Resident #34 was
an unsupervised smoker. The LPN revealed the resident was to put his cigarette butts in the butt container
outside and to bring his cigarettes and lighter to her when he was done smoking. The LPN confirmed the
resident did not give her his cigarettes and lighter after returning from smoking at 12:03 P.M. LPN #36 then
went to Resident #34's room. The box containing the cigarette butts and unsmoked cigarettes and his
lighter were laying in the seat of the resident's wheelchair. The resident was in bed. Resident #34 stated he
forgot to take the cigarettes and lighter to the nurse. LPN #36 confirmed there were eight cigarette butts in

#34 stated it was easier for him to put them in the cigarette box than it was for him to put them in the
cigarette butt container outside. LPN #34 confirmed it was a fire hazard for Resident #34 to bring the
cigarette butts back into the facility.
Interview with the Administrator on 07/13/21 at 3:30 P.M. revealed residents were to put their ashes and
butts in the tall receptacle in the smoking area. The Administrator confirmed the facility did not have ash
trays. The Administrator also was not aware of a metal container with self closing lid.
Interview with the Maintenance Director (MD) on 07/14/21 at 8:00 A.M. confirmed the facility had one tall
open cigarette butt receptacle in the resident smoking area. The MD confirmed there were no ash trays and
no metal container with closing lid where Resident #34 smoked. The MD confirmed he saw where residents
were putting cigarette ashes and cigarette butts on the ground in the smoking area where Resident #34
smoked. (4-5 cigarette butts were observed on the ground at that time). The MD further confirmed it was a
fire/burn hazard for the resident to lay cigarette butts on his leg and then take the cigarette butts back into
the facility.
Review of the facility policy titled Smoking, dated 04/01/20 revealed it was the policy of the facility to allow
residents who wished to smoke to do so in a safe manor, while respecting the resident's rights and
ensuring facility safety. Smoking was only permitted in designated resident smoking areas, which were
located outside the building. Metal containers, with self-closing cover devices were available in smoking
areas. Ashtrays were emptied only into designated receptacles. Residents who had independent smoking
privileges were not permitted to keep cigarettes and other smoking articles in their possession. They must
be kept in a lock box at the nurses station.

On 07/06/21 at 5:10 P.M. resident continues yelling a person's name and also yells someone find me most
of the day.
On 07/12/21 at 10:00 A.M. Resident #11 was observed to be sitting in a wheelchair in the lounge by the
nurse's station. The resident had her legs down through a space in the wheelchair between the seat and
the foot rest (an area her legs were not meant to be). The resident was yelling out repeatedly. A nurse was
sitting at the nurses's station, but did not respond to the resident. On 07/14/21 at 10:44 A.M. Resident #11
was observed sitting in the wheelchair in the lounge. The resident kept yelling out and repeating, where am
I, I don't know where I am at.
Review of behavior assessments completed on 12/05/20, 03/04/21, 04/01/21 and 06/24/21 failed to identify
the resident exhibited any type of behaviors or implement a comprehensive and individualized plan for the
resident to ensure she received appropriate treatment and services to attain or maintain her highest
practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.
On 07/19/21 at 3:00 P.M. interview with the Director of Nursing revealed Resident #11 frequently had
anxiety about food and calls out for her children. She further confirmed the behavior assessments were not
accurate as they did not identify the anxious behavior the resident displays which then had the potential to
result in the resident not receiving appropriate treatment and services to attain or maintain her highest
practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being related to her diagnosis of dementia.
On 07/19/21 at 3:00 P.M. interview with the Activity Director (AD #71) revealed she had only worked at the
facility for four weeks. She stated she was the only activity staff person to provide activities for the facility.
She stated Resident #11 spends the majority of her time in the lounge listening to the TV or socializing with
other residents (the resident was never observed to socialize with any other resident during observations).
She confirmed the facility did not have any organized group activities for residents with dementia. She
stated only one to one activities were provided for residents with dementia. On 07/20/21 at 9:20 A.M. during
a follow up interview, the Activity Director revealed the individual activities of TV or movie documented for
Resident #11 were her being in the lounge. She stated the resident was passive for any group activities she
would attend as she could not participate in scheduled Bingo, card games, etc. due to her cognition.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
Based on observation, record review and interview the facility failed to implement behavioral interventions,
including non pharmacological approaches prior to administering psychoactive medications and failed to
timely evaluate the effectiveness of psychoactive medications for Resident #11. This affected one (Resident
#11) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medication use.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #11 revealed an admission date of 12/04/20 with diagnoses
including dementia, anxiety disorder and depressive disorder.
Record review revealed the resident was currently receiving the antianxiety medication, Buspar 15
milligrams (mg) three times daily. The antianxiety medication had been started on 12/14/20 at 10 milligrams
twice daily and then increased on 12/21/20 to 10 milligrams three times daily and then on 04/28/21 was
increased to 15 milligrams three times daily.
A nursing progress note, dated 12/14/20 at 2:44 P.M. revealed the nurse practitioner was in and updated on
resident with increased anxiety. New orders for Buspar and Vistaril. (There were no notes to describe what
the increased anxiety was). Vistaril (an antihistamine which can be used to treat anxiety) 25 mg was
ordered every eight hours as needed for anxiety.
There were no nursing progress notes or physician progress notes on 12/21/20 to indicate why the Buspar
was increased to 10 milligrams three times daily at that time.
A nurse's note, dated 01/27/21 at 3:06 A.M. revealed the resident was noted to yell out at intervals during
the night.
A nurse's notes, dated 02/11/21 at 6:15 A.M. revealed the resident was noted yelling out at intervals during
the night.
Review of medication administration records revealed Vistaril was administered seven times in December
2020, one time in January 2021 (on 01/02/21) and five times in February 2021 (on 02/07, 02/08, 02/09,
02/14 and 02/15/21) before it was discontinued on 02/18/21. There was no documentation, at the times the
medication was given, to indicate why the medication was given, or that any behavioral interventions or non
pharmacological approaches were tried prior to administering the medication.
Further review of the nursing progress notes revealed:
On 03/02/21 at 4:04 P.M. resident has been yelling out a person's name again today. Resident stayed up in
chair and sat in the lounge for a while but started yelling for help and moving restlessly around in
wheelchair so she was put back in bed and is resting comfortably.

Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 07/19/21 at 3:00 P.M. revealed Resident #11 frequently had
anxiety about food and calls out for her children. She further confirmed the behavior assessments were not
accurate as they did not identify the anxious behavior the resident displayed. The DON confirmed there was
no evidence of any behavior interventions, including non pharmacological approaches prior to the use of
medications as noted above. The DON also confirmed the facility was not tracking how frequently the
behaviors were occurring to evaluate the effectiveness of the medications based on the behaviors that were
exhibited. During the course of the resident's admission, additional psychoactive medications and
increased doses were added to the resident's medication regimen without adequate justification for optimal
use.

Record review revealed was no evidence the physician reviewed the recommendation until 05/10/21 (two
months later). On 05/10/21, the physician ordered a Hemoglobin A1c in the morning and then every six
months. There was no evidence the lab test was done.
On 06/10/21 the pharmacist made a request for nursing to be sure the Hemoglobin A1c results were
posted in the chart, as they were unavailable during the time of review.
Record review revealed there was no evidence the Hemoglobin A1c blood test was completed until
07/02/21. The results were 6.2 with normal listed as 4.1-5.6.
