Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of select facility documentation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed
to provide the required notice to the resident or the resident's representative following the end of their
Medicare coverage for one of three residents reviewed (Resident 49).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:

facility on June 13, 2023, revealed that Medicare coverage for Resident 49 started on January 4, 2023, and
that Resident 49's last covered day was February 16, 2023. The form indicated that the facility initiated
discontinuation from Medicare Part A coverage and that the Resident's benefit days were not exhausted.
Further review of the form revealed that the facility did not provide form CMS-10055, SNF ABN (Advanced
Beneficiary Notice - a notice given to Medicare beneficiaries to convey that Medicare is not likely to provide
coverage for a skilled service) to the Resident or the Resident's Representative as required at the time that
Medicare Part A was discontinued.
On June 15, 2023, at 10:11 AM, the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) stated that form CMS-10055 was
not one of the forms that was presented to Resident 49.

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of facility policy, clinical record review, observations, and interviews with resident and staff,
it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents who require dialysis receive such services,
consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the
residents' goals and preferences for one of two residents reviewed (Resident 123).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of facility policy, titled NSG253 Dialysis: Hemodialysis (HD) Communication and Documentation
with a last revision date of June 15, 2022, revealed, in part: Center staff will communicate with the certified
dialysis center regarding the ongoing assessment of the patient's condition by monitoring for complications
before and after hemodialysis treatments; prior to leaving the facility a licensed nurse will complete the top
portion of the Hemodialysis Communication Record and send with the patient to his/her HD facility visit;
and upon return of the patient to the facility, a licensed nurse will review the dialysis center communication,
evaluate the resident, and complete the post-hemodialysis treatment section of the Hemodialysis
Communication Record; and maintain the Hemodialysis Communication Record in the patient's medical
record.
Review of Resident 123's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included end stage renal disease (a
condition in which a person's kidneys cease functioning on a permanent basis, leading to the need for
long-term dialysis or a kidney transplant) and atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid heart rate that
commonly causes poor blood flow).
Review of Resident 123's current physician orders included Hemodialysis per physician order, with a start
date of May 22, 2023; and Dialysis site observation-left upper arm every shift and as needed, dated May
22, 2023.
During an interview with Resident 123 on June 13, 2023, at 9:08 AM, Resident 123 revealed that they
currently attend dialysis on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
During this interview, it was observed that Resident 123 had a dialysis catheter to their right chest.
Review of Resident 123's dialysis communication book located at the nurses' station revealed the presence
of only one completed facility Hemodialysis Communication Form, which was dated June 7, 2023. There
were, however, computer generated communication sheets from the dialysis center, except for June 9,
2023.
Review of Resident 123's clinical record progress notes revealed that they did attend dialysis on June 9,
2023.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Director of Nursing (DON) on June 15,
2023, at 10:58 AM, the NHA confirmed that the staff should have been completing the Hemodialysis
Communication Form consistently as per facility policy. She further indicated that they had ordered more
forms and will be educating staff.
During an interview with the NHA and DON on June 15, 2023, at 1:01 PM, the DON confirmed that she

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility
failed to ensure that the physician reviewed and responded to pharmacy review recommendations in a
timely manner for one of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications (Resident 125).
Findings include:
Review of facility policy, titled Medication Regimen Review revised March 3, 2020, revealed that the
consultant pharmacist will conduct medication regimen reviews (MRRs) and make recommendations based
on the information available in the resident's health record. Copies of residents' MRRs will be provided to
the Director of Nursing (DON) and/or the attending physician and to the Medical Director. The facility will
then encourage the physician/prescriber or other responsible parties to act upon the recommendations
contained in the MRR. For the issues requiring intervention, the practitioner/prescriber should accept and
act upon the recommendations, or reject all or some of the recommendations and provide an explanation
as to why the recommendation was rejected. The attending practitioner should document in the residents'
health records that the identified irregularity was reviewed and what, if any, action was taken to address it. If
the attending physician decided to make no change in the medication, the attending physician should
document the rationale in the resident's health record.
Review of Resident 125's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included severe dementia with agitation
(loss of memory, language, problem-solving, and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere
with daily life) and anxiety disorder (mental disorder characterized by feelings of worry about future events
and/or fear in reaction to current events).
Further review of Resident 125's clinical record revealed that medication regimen reviews were completed
on April 12, 2023, May 11, 2023, and on May 19, 2023. Irregularities were noted by the consultant
pharmacist, and recommendations were made on those dates. Additional review failed to reveal what
recommendations were made or the physician's response to these recommendations.
During an interview with the DON on June 15, 2023, at 1:46 PM, she revealed that she did not have any
additional information to provide.

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 clinical record review and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that
the resident medication regimen was free from unnecessary psychotropic medication as evidenced by
failure to monitor for target behaviors and/or adverse side effects for six of 26 residents reviewed
(Residents 30, 86, 102, 118, 125, and 126), and for failure to act upon a physician's order to reduce a
psychotropic medication in a timely manner for one of 26 residents reviewed (Resident 126).
Findings include:
Review of Resident 30's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease (gradually
progressive brain disorder that causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior) and psychotic
disorder (a mental state marked by loss of contact with reality, disorganized speech and behaviors, and
often hallucinations or delusions).
Review of Resident 30's current physician orders revealed orders for Fluoxetine (antidepressant) twice a
day for depression, effective January 21, 2023; and Seroquel (antipsychotic medication) for psychotic
disorder in the morning, effective May 10, 2022, and at bedtime, effective May 9, 2022.
Review of Resident 30's clinical record failed to reveal that behavior monitoring was in place to track or
document behaviors related to depression or psychosis.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on June 15, 2023, at 12:33 PM, she acknowledged
that behavior monitoring was not being done.
Review of Resident 86's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease and psychotic
disorder.
Review of Resident 86's current physician orders revealed orders for Ativan (antianxiety medication) as
needed for anxiety (sense of uneasiness, distress, or dread), effective June 7, 2023; Rexulti (antipsychotic
medication) daily for dementia with agitation (loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking
abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life), effective June 10, 2023; Depakote
(anticonvulsant also used to treat certain psychiatric disorders) twice a day and at bedtime for delusional
disorder (unshakable belief in something that's untrue), effective October 2, 2021; Paxil (antidepressant)
daily for adjustment disorder (difficulty in managing stressful life changes), effective December 11, 2021;
and buspirone (antianxiety medication) every eight hours for anxiety, effective June 9, 2023.
Review of Resident 86's clinical record failed to reveal that behavior monitoring was in place to track or
document behaviors related to anxiety, delusional disorder, dementia with agitation, or adjustment disorder.
During an interview with the DON on June 15, 2023, at 12:33 PM, she acknowledged that behavior
monitoring was not being done, and that it was added to Resident 86's orders for Depakote and Rexulti.
