beneficiary notices. The facility census was 105.Findings included:Review of Resident #125's medical
record revealed an admission date of 05/23/25. Resident #125's medical diagnoses included non-traumatic
intracranial hemorrhage, abnormalities of gait and mobility, and unspecified convulsions.Review of the
admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 05/30/25,
revealed Resident #125 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12, which indicated the
resident had moderate cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated that the resident required
substantial/maximum assistance from staff with bathing and dressing and set-up or clean-up assistance
from staff for personal hygiene.Review of the list of residents discharged from a Medicare covered Part A
stay with benefit days remaining during the prior six months revealed Resident #125 was discharged from a
Medicare covered Part A stay on 06/20/25.Review of Resident #125's SNF [Skilled Nursing Facility]
Beneficiary Notification Review form, completed by the facility, revealed the facility initiated Resident #125's
discharge from Medicare Part A services when the resident's benefit days were not exhausted. The form
indicated the resident's last covered day (LCD) under the benefit was 06/16/25. The form indicated the
facility issued a CMS-10123 NOMNC but not a CMS-10055 SNF ABN. There was no documented evidence
in the resident's record to indicate the resident was informed of the SNF ABN.Interview on 08/14/25 at 9:58
A.M., with Resident Services Coordinator (RCS) #5 stated she started her current position in June 2025.
RCS #5 indicated she was not familiar with the SNF ABN document and had not provided it to Resident
#125 when the resident decided to stay at the facility for a few days following the LCD. RCS #5 stated a
representative from the billing department had the resident sign documents if the resident decided to
continue their stay at the facility as a private pay resident. Interview on 08/14/25 at 10:42 A.M., with
Accounts Receivable (AR) [NAME] Supervisor #17 stated Resident #125 only stayed for a few days
following the LCD, so a full residency agreement was not completed, but a form was signed that

SNF ABN forms being signed prior to RCS #5 beginning her position in June 2025. The MRC stated the
SNF ABN form was not a form she was aware of, so she reached out to her consultant to receive education
on how to use the form. The MRC stated she also was not completing the SNF ABN forms because she
was not aware of the form. Interview on 08/14/25 at 3:50 P.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it
was her expectation that the facility staff followed the CMS regulations and that the SNF ABN form be used
when a resident was transitioning from Medicare Part A to private pay.During an interview on 08/14/25 at
4:03 P.M., with the Executive Director (ED) stated she was aware of the concerns related to the SNF ABN

change of condition. The ED stated she did not know why staff did not complete a new PASARR Level 1 for
Resident #13 after their new serious mental illness diagnoses, stating it must have slipped through the
cracks.Review of the policy titled, PASARR, revised on [DATE], indicated, 5. PASARR is triggered by
significant changes, expired convalescent/respite stays, psychiatric readmission, or extension requests.

that she did not know why Resident #13's TSH order was missed, but she suspected it was due to the
laboratory service only recently integrating with the facility's electronic medical record (EMR). The DON

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, staff interview, policy review, and review of the 2022 United States Food and Drug
Administration Food Code, the facility failed to ensure dietary staff wore appropriate hair (beard) covers
while in the food preparation area. This had the potential to affect 104 of 104 residents who received meals
from the kitchen, excluding Resident #1. The facility census was 105. Findings included: Observation on
08/11/25 at 11:16 A.M., during the initial tour, [NAME] #9 was observed in the food preparation area with
long, facial hair that was approximately an inch in length, uncovered. Food Service Supervisor (FSS) #8
was also observed walking around the food preparation areas and counters, with facial hair approximately
an inch in length, uncovered.Interview on 08/11/25 at 11:16 A.M., with the Director of Dining Services
(DDS) stated they did not use the beard restraints unless the beard was especially long and drawn out. He
gave no precise measurements on what the threshold would be. He confirmed the staff had just completed
the lunch service.Interview on 08/14/25 at 10:16 A.M., with [NAME] #9 stated he had taken the beard
restraint off during the initial tour observation. He stated he wore the beard restrain every day in the
kitchen.Interview on 08/14/25 at 10:18 A.M., with FSS #8 stated that he normally wore beard restraints, and
the policy stated they were required to wear beard restraints if they had facial hair. He stated that the
Director of Dining Services (DDS) did not usually wear a beard restraint. He stated the staff only wore a
beard restraint if their beard were the length of his beard or longer. Observation on 08/13/25 at 11:27 A.M.,
the Assistant Director of Nutrition (ADON) was observed in the food preparation areas with no beard
restraint. He had facial hair that was approximately an eighth of an inch in length. Interview on 08/14/25 at
10:33 A.M., the ADN stated he had seen FSS #8 and [NAME] #9 in the kitchen without beard restraints, but
they were usually supervising rather than preparing food and stated he only wore a beard restraint if he
was preparing food, not necessarily if he was just in the kitchen.During a follow-up interview on 08/15/25 at
9:28 A.M., the DDS stated if staff could grasp their facial hair, they wore a beard restraint. Per the DDS,
beard restraints were only worn in situations where the hair could fall in the food. He stated that hair
restraints should be worn whenever staff were in food preparation areas, regardless of whether there was
the potential that hair could fall into food. The DDS was unable to explain why there was a distinction
