Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, observation, and interview, the facility failed to accurately reflect residents' status on
Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments related to mental health status and oxygen use. This affected three
(Residents #11, #21, and #33) of 24 residents whose assessments were reviewed. The facility census was
53.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #11's medical record review revealed diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder
(bipolar type), psychosis, pseudobulbar affect, depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder. A
Preadmission Screen and Resident Review dated 07/05/22 indicated Resident #11 had no indications of
serious mental illness. Resident #11 was hospitalized between 11/14/22 and 12/07/22.
Review of a Preadmission Screen and Resident Review Determination (PASRR) determination revealed
Resident #11 was approved for nursing facility services. The attached summary report dated 12/01/22
indicated Resident #11 was first medically hospitalized ( for increased ammonia level in the blood and
diagnosed with pneumonia and metabolic encephalopathy) and when stable was transferred to the
inpatient psychiatric unit. The summary indicated Resident #11 had mental health diagnoses of psychotic
disorder, language disorder - cognitive communication deficit, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder,
and dependence on psychotropic medications with induced mood disorder and anxiety disorder. The
summary indicated Resident #11 was hospitalized for having unreal thoughts and seeing and hearing
things that were not there. Resident #11 also exhibited physical aggression. The summary indicated
Resident #11 had one inpatient psychiatric hospitalization in the past two years and was receiving
psychotropic medication. There were no recommendations for disability specific services. However, the
summary indicated services and supports which would be needed to be provided included an Occupational
Therapy evaluation, a safety plan, ongoing evaluation of the effectiveness of psychotropic medications on
target symptoms, ongoing medication review by a psychiatrist or similarly-credentialed professionals,
medication evaluation and monitoring by a designated physician, family involvement in care, and
socialization and recreation activities to decrease isolation, improve mood and increase social interaction.
Review of Resident #11's annual MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #11 was not currently considered
by the state level II PASRR process to have serious mental illness and/or intellectual disability or related
conditions.
During an interview on 01/18/24 at 9:48 A.M., Registered Nurse (RN) #355 verified the annual MDS dated
[DATE] was marked incorrectly regarding serious mental illness.

in a nursing facility. A resident review assessment was completed on 04/01/18. Resident #21 did not have
the potential to live in the community and was receiving case management. The determination indicated
Resident #21 had a history of serious mental illness with diagnoses including Bipolar 1 Disorder, mixed and
severe major depressive disorder. The determination indicated Resident #21 had an unspecified personality
disorder by history. No specialized services were recommended. The determination indicated services
recommended included ongoing medication review by a physician to assure medical conditions were
appropriately treated, medication education on the value of taking medication as prescribed, and a
behavior management safety plan to decrease inappropriate behaviors and ensure safety.
Review of Resident #21's annual MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #21 was not currently considered
by state II PASRR process to have a serious mental illness.
On 01/16/24 at 12:47 P.M., RN #355 verified the annual MDS section A1500 was marked incorrectly as the
most recent PASRR determination indicated Resident #21 did have a serious mental illness.
3. Review of medical record for Resident #33 revealed an admission date of 09/24/21. Diagnoses included
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with (acute) exacerbation and chronic respiratory failure.
Review of quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed Resident #33 was cognitively intact
and did not use oxygen.
Review of Resident #33's physician orders revealed an order dated 11/18/22 for oxygen two liters via nasal
cannula, may titrate as needed.
Review of Resident #33's care plan dated 09/25/21 revealed the resident had an impaired respiratory
status related to anxiety, being a current smoker, and having shortness of breath. Interventions included
oxygen as ordered by the physician.
Observation on 01/16/24 at 10:35 A.M. of Resident #33's room revealed the resident was not in the room,
but there was an oxygen concentrator in room.
Observation on 01/17/24 at 9:42 A.M. revealed Resident #33 was in room receiving oxygen via nasal
cannula.
Interview on 01/18/24 at 10:02 A.M. with RN #354 confirmed the Resident #3's quarterly 12/13/23 MDS
was incorrectly marked, since Resident #33 should have been marked as receiving oxygen.

Upon admission to the facility, Resident #43 was prescribed Navane (antipsychotic medication) five
milligrams (mg) twice daily which the resident was on long term prior to admission. Further review of the
medical record, including psychiatrist evaluations, revealed the Navane was gradually reduced and
discontinued on 06/06/23. Review of Resident #43's progress notes indicated the resident had a new onset
of paranoid behaviors and was transferred and admitted directly to a geriatric in-patient psychiatric unit on
06/13/23. On 06/27/23 Resident #43 was readmitted to the facility with a new diagnosis of paranoid
schizophrenia added. Review of hospital records revealed Resident #43 had a prior history of mental illness
including schizophrenia with Navane use.
On 06/22/24 the geriatric in-patient psychiatric hospital resubmitted a PASARR which indicated major
depression with psychotic features. No evidence of schizophrenia was noted.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on interview, food committee meeting minutes and facility menu review, the facility failed to provide a
menu which offered a variety of items served at the breakfast meal. This had the potential to affect 52
residents who received meals from the kitchen. The facility identified Resident #13 as receiving nothing by
mouth. The facility census was 53.
Findings include:
Review of facility food committee meeting minutes dated 07/31/23 revealed concern related to repeating
menu items was noted.
Review of the facility's fall 2023-24 four-week (28 day) menu revealed scrambled eggs were served 14 out
of 28 days. For week three, scrambled eggs were served five days (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday,
and Saturday) out of seven days and three days in a row between the end of week four and the beginning
of week one (week four Saturday, week one Sunday, and week one Monday).
Interview on 01/17/24 at 11:56 A.M. with the Dietary Supervisor revealed she did have residents complain
to her there was too much repetition of some items on the menu.
Interview on 01/17/24 at 1:14 P.M. with the Registered Dietitian confirmed, upon review of the menus, there
was a lot of scrambled eggs, but scrambled eggs were a cheap option. She stated the menus came
pre-made, but she had the option to adjust the menu.
Interview on 01/17/24 at 3:24 P.M. with Resident #38 revealed there were too many scrambled eggs on the
menu.
