What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 14 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0552 Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments. 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 residents have the right to be informed of and participate in their treatment, including the right to be informed in advance of the risks and benefits of proposed care, of treatment and treatment alternatives or treatment options, and to choose the alternative or option they prefer for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #35) whose records were reviewed for informed consent. The facility failed to obtain signed consent prior to administering the psychotropic medication Risperdal (an atypical antipsychotic indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar I disorder with acute manic or mixed episodes, and autism-associated irritability) for Resident #35. This failure could place residents at risk of receiving medications without consent and without the option choose alternative treatment or decline treatment based on awareness of the risks and benefits of the medications.The findings included: Record review of Resident #35's admission sheet dated 7/01/2025 documented a [AGE] year-old male resident with diagnoses including dementia with behavioral disturbance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate leading to difficulty urinating), and hypothyroidism (when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone). Record review of Resident #35's MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 14 indicating intact cognition and documented the use of antipsychotic, antidepressant, and opioid medications. Record review of Resident #35's order summary included active orders for Risperdal 1mg, give 0.5 tablet by mouth one time a day for bipolar and Risperdal 1mg, give 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime for bipolar. Record review of Resident #35's July 2025 MAR documented the resident had been receiving Risperdal as ordered. Record review of Resident #35's medication consents included a Texas Health and Human Services Form 3713 Nursing Facility Consent for Antipsychotic or Neuroleptic Medication Treatment for the medication Risperdal with no resident or resident representative signature in Section II of the form. During an interview with the DON on 8/29/25 at 1:23 PM, the DON stated for new psychotropic medication orders, her expectation is for consents to be complete with doctor and resident signatures on the appropriate forms and be obtained within 24 to 48 hours for inclusion in the resident's medical record. The DON stated all consents should be signed by either the resident if they are their own responsible party, or by their designated representative if they are unable to sign themselves. The DON stated Resident #35's consent for Risperdal should have been signed by the resident or the responsible party so they would be informed of the medication's potential side effects, understand why they have been prescribed the medication, and decide if they want to take the medication. Record review of the facility policy titled Unnecessary Medications, with a revision date of 2/12/2025, documented Residents have the right to be informed of and participate in their treatment. Prior to initiating or increasing a medication, the resident, family, and/or resident representative must be informed of the benefits, risks, and alternatives for the medication, in advance of such initiation or increase. The resident has the right to accept or decline the initiation or increase of a mediation. To demonstrate compliance, the Residents Affected - Few (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.

F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review (PASARR) program under Medicaid in subpart C of this part to the maximum extent practicable to avoid duplicative testing and effort for 1 of 8 residents reviewed for PASRR (Resident #34). The facility failed to ensure Resident #34 had an accurate PASRR Level 1 Screening indicating diagnoses of mental illness and refer the residents to the state designated authority. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving needed assessments (PASRR Evaluation), individualized care, and specialized services to meet their needs.Findings included: Record Review of Resident #34's admission record, dated 8/26/25, revealed a [AGE] year-old female initially admitted [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder (a mental health condition with a mix of schizophrenia symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, and mood disorder symptoms, such as depression, mania), generalized anxiety disorder, epilepsy (a brain condition that causes recurring seizures), insomnia, and disorganized schizophrenia (a subtype of schizophrenia characterized by disorganized thought process, speech, and behavior). Record Review of Resident #34's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 8/2/25, reflected Resident #34 had intact cognition for daily decision making and had anxiety, seizure disorder, and schizophrenia. Record review of Resident #34's care plan, initiated 6/11/25, revealed a care area for Resident #34 required anti-psychotic medications, to administer as ordered, and monitor/document for side effects and effectiveness. Record review of Resident #34's physician's order, dated 8/26/25, indicated Resident #34 took Risperdal for schizophrenia daily. Record review of Resident #34's PASRR Level 1 Screening completed on 5/19/25 indicated in section C0100 there was no evidence of this individual having mental illness or dementia. During an interview on 8/28/25 at 11:48 a.m. the MDS Coordinator stated Resident #34 did not have a qualifying mental disorder for PASRR services. The MDS Coordinator stated the resident came with the PASRR already completed prior to her admission and she did not think there were any errors on Resident #34's PASRR Level 1 Screening. During a follow up interview on 8/28/25 at 5:00 p.m. the MDS Coordinator stated they had corrected the PASRR for Resident #34 to answer yes to the mental illness question so the resident could be evaluated by the local authority to see if the resident could qualify for services. Record review of the facility's policy titled PASRR Nursing Facility Specialized Policy and Procedure, dated 3/6/19, stated Policy: It is the policy of [corporate name] facilities to ensure NFSS Forms are submitted timely and accurately. Procedure: 1. PL1 is completed. 2. If PL1 is coded as suspicion of MI, ID or DD, then a PE is required. 3. The LA completes the PE and if Positive, a PCSP Initial Meeting is scheduled. 4.

The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's care plan was accurate to reflect that he was not a smoker.2. The Facility failed to ensure Resident #4's care plan reflected he was on dialysis. 3. The facility failed to ensure Resident #7's care plan was accurate and updated to reflect the type of psychoactive medications prescribed for Resident #7 and the specific side effect monitoring of those medications. 4. The facility failed to ensure Resident #10's care plan was accurate and updated to reflect the type of blood thinning medication Resident #10 was prescribed.5. The facility failed to ensure Resident #35's care plan was accurate and updated to reflect Resident #35's psychiatric diagnoses and psychoactive specific medication monitoring. This deficient practice could place residents at risk of not receiving appropriate interventions to meet their current needs. The findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #1's admission Record dated 08/28/2025, reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility 07/09/2025.

During an interview with LVN E on 08/29/2025 at 9:45 am, LVN E stated that Resident #1 was not a smoker and did not participate in many activities. During an interview with MDS Coordinator on 08/29/2025 at 10:01 am, MDS Coordinator stated she had only been employed in this facility for 2 months. The MDS stated, I review Care Plans and make sure the whole IDT team is in agreement with the needs of the residents. I am also part of the care conference team. In the first set of care plans, I go through the triggers and I do an assessment. I look at the resident as well as look at notes from the Treatment Nurse, weekly nurse assessment, etc. The MDS Coordinator stated that Resident #1 was not a smoker and this should not have been placed in the Care Plan. 2. Record review of Resident #4's admission record, dated 8/29/25 with an initial admission date of 12/13/2017 and readmission of 7/31/25 revealed an [AGE] year-old male resident with diagnoses that included end stage renal disease (the final stage of kidney failure), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar levels and insulin resistance) without complications.

The facility failed to ensure the controlled substance reconciliation logs were signed for accuracy of medication quantities during shift change. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving their prescribed medications, experiencing untreated pain and anxiety, and a decreased quality of life. The findings included: During an observation of the 2200/2500 hall medication aide cart on 8/28/2025 at 8:14 AM, a sample of controlled medications was inventoried for accuracy with Medication Aide B. The sample inventory showed no discrepancies between medication quantities documented on the individual controlled substance logs and the number of pills remaining in the blister packs, however record review of the comprehensive controlled medication reconciliation log used for cart audit during shift change revealed the log was missing a signature. During an interview with Medication Aide B on 8/28/2025 at 8:14 AM, Medication Aide B stated it was important to perform the card audit and to sign the reconciliation log in the presence of the staff member who was receiving or relinquishing the cart. Medication Aide B further stated she should always sign the reconciliation log, because if the log was not signed the next person responsible for the cart will not know if the count of controlled medications was correct. During an observation of the 2300/2400 hall medication aide cart on 8/28/2025 at 8:24 AM, a sample of controlled medications was inventoried for accuracy with Medication Aide C. The sample inventory showed no discrepancies between medication quantities documented on the individual controlled substance logs and the number of pills remaining in the blister packs, however record review of the comprehensive controlled medication reconciliation log used for cart audit during shift change revealed the log was missing a signature. During an interview with Medication Aide C on 8/28/2025 at 8:24 AM, Medication Aide C stated it was important to sign the reconciliation log to make sure the medication count was right. Medication Aide C further stated if the reconciliation log was not signed at shift change, it would not be known if the log was accurate, and the count of medication could be off. During an observation of the 2300/2400 hall nurse cart on 8/28/2025 at 8:40 AM a sample of controlled medications was inventoried for accuracy with LVN D. The sample inventory showed no discrepancies between medication quantities documented on the individual controlled substance logs and the number of pills remaining in the blister packs, however record review of the comprehensive controlled medication reconciliation log used for cart audit during shift change revealed the log was missing a signature. During an interview with LVN D on 8/28/2025 at 8:40 AM, LVN D stated if the reconciliation log was missing a signature, the medication count might be wrong, and the log should be verified during shift change. LVN D stated if she found the count of a controlled substance to be incorrect, she would bring it to the attention of the DON. During an interview with the DON on 8/29/25 at 1:23 PM, the DON stated her expectation for medication carts was that anytime a staff member hands off a cart to another employee, there needed to be two people to perform the controlled medication audit, and both parties should be looking at both the log and the blister packs while counting. The DON further stated it was important to never accept someone else's cart without inventorying the controlled medications together, because it cannot be known if there was a discrepancy without counting.
