The facility failed to ensure a request to the State Agency was submitted for Resident #1 within the 20th day timeframe so the resident could benefit from a DME customized wheelchair. This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving the benefits of the recommendations from the LIDDA. The findings included: A record review of Resident #1's admission record dated 8/15/2025 revealed an admission date of 3/21/2025 with diagnoses which included cerebral palsy (a group of disorders that affect movement and muscle coordination caused by brain damage or abnormal development, usually occurring before, during, or shortly after birth.)A record review of Resident #1'a quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted for LTC and assessed as medically complex with a BIMS score of 15 out of a possible 15 which indicated intact cognition.

A record review of Resident #1's initial PASSR Comprehensive Service Plan Form (PCSP) dated 4/16/2025 revealed the LIDDA assessed Resident #1 positive for intellectual developmental disabilities and recommended that Resident #1 would benefit from the use of a DME customized wheelchair. A record review of the email correspondence between the Facility's Regional Therapy Resource, the Administrator, the SW, the LIDDA, and the HHSC PASSR Quality Monitoring unit from 7/24/2025 through 7/25/2025 revealed the PASSR QM unit advised the facility, the reason for this e-mail is to notify you that according to our records and interdisciplinary team meeting was held and entered into the long term care online portal for one or more of your residents. During the IDT meeting nursing facility specialized services were recommended and agreed upon for the resident in your facility.

Currently your nursing facility is out of compliance as per this TAC rule; as of today our records show that the HHSC PASRR unit has not received a request for specialized services for the following residents: (Resident #1) date of IDT meeting: 4/16/2025. During an interview on 8/14/2025 at 3:00 PM the SW stated the facility's expectations were for residents who were assessed as PASSR positive for IDD would have a coordinated care plan meeting with the LIDDA and if the LIDDA recommended and NFSS the SW would submit (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.
