F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure the resident assessment accurately reflected the resident's status for 1 (Resident #12) of 8 residents who were reviewed for accuracy of assessments. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure Resident #12's MDS assessment accurately reflected his hearing ability and use of hearing aids. This failure could place residents at risk of their needs going unmet. Findings included: Record review of Resident #12's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident #12 was a [AGE] year-old male, who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. He had diagnoses of dementia, major depressive disorder, depression, hereditary and idiopathic neuropathy (nervous system disorders that interfere with normal nerve function). His MDS reflected he had minimal difficulty with his ability to hear, (difficulty in some environments (e.g., when person speaks softly or setting is noisy), as well as that he did not have hearing aids or other hearing appliances. His BIMS score was 12, indicated moderately impaired cognition. Record review of Resident #12's care plan dated last revised on 01/31/2025 reflected resident had special instructions Very hard of hearing. It stated, the resident has a communication problem related to hearing loss The interventions listed included for staff to anticipate and meet needs, encourage resident to continue stating thoughts even if resident is having difficulty. Focus on a word or phrase that makes sense or responds to the feeling resident is trying to express and refer to speech therapy for evaluation and treatment as ordered. Hearing aids were not care planned. Record review of Resident #12's doctor's order dated 9/24/2024 reflected, May have podiatry, dental, audiologist, & ophthalmologist consults PRN. Interview and Observation on 02/10/2025 at 10:24 a.m., revealed Resident #12 sitting in his recliner in his room watching television. The resident voiced that his hearing aids needed to be repaired and that his family member was going to come get them to be fixed/replaced. The state surveyor had to stand close, yell, speak slowly, and often repeat questions to the resident during the observation. The resident was unable to give an answer when the state surveyor asked him if the facility helps him with audiology appointments, even after writing the questions down for him due to the hearing impairment.

F 0641 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Interview on 02/12/2025 at 10:17 a.m., with LVN C revealed she had been working remotely to help the facility since January 2025. She stated that the way she completed the MDS assessment was by looking at the social worker's assessment as well as the skilled nursing assessments in PCC, but that she did not know the residents and did not go see them before completing and signing off the MDS assessment. She stated that Resident #12 MDS should have been coded differently if the resident had hearing aids and had significant hearing impairment. Interview on 02/12/2025 at 11:40 a.m., with the DON revealed she had started working at the facility 3 weeks ago. She stated that her expectation would be that hearing aids were care planned. She stated that Resident #12 had hearing aids in his room but refused to wear them and did not like them. She said that the resident's family member had planned to take the hearing aids home with him due to the resident not wearing them. She said he reads lips very well and can sign for things he needed. She said that it should have been care planned that he did not wear them. Interview on 02/12/2025 at 12:48 p.m., with CNA A revealed she had worked at the facility for 2 years. She stated that Resident #12 would wear his hearing aids sometimes, but he had a hard time getting them to stay in his ears. She stated that she had to make sure she talked loudly and stood close to him when talking, but that most times she still had to repeat herself multiple times. She did not think he was good at reading lips due to the number of times she would have to repeat herself during conversations. Interview on 02/12/2025 at 2:00 p.m., with the CMDS revealed she had been the CMDS since 2019. She stated that when an MDS nurse was out on leave for one facility there would be another MDS nurse covering for the facility, and it was not normally the process for the MDS coordinator to work remotely and not lay eyes on the residents. She stated that the MDS nurse was responsible for ensuring MDS assessment accuracy but in this instance the covering MDS nurse should have left the assessment open for the CMDS to check for accuracy. She stated that a negative outcome for an incorrect assessment could be residents having their needs being unmet by staff. Interview on 2/12/2025 at 2:00pm, with the CMDS revealed that any inaccuracy on the MDS would be the responsibility of the MDS nurse to correct. The CMDS stated that a negative outcome for an incorrect assessment could lead to the resident receiving the wrong treatment, incorrect labs, and the plan of care not being completed as it should. She stated that her expectation was that an anticoagulant should not be included in the MDS if it was not ordered. She stated that the MDS should accurately reflect the resident's complete medical picture. Record review of the facility's Resident Assessment Instrument policy dated last revised September 2010 revealed, 3. The purpose of the assessment is to describe the resident's capability to perform daily life functions and to identify significant impairments in functional capacity. 4. Information derived from the comprehensive assessment helps the staff to plan care that allows the resident to reach his/her practicable level of functioning. Record review of the Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual, version 1.19.1, dated October 2024, reflected, The RAI process has multiple regulatory requirements. Federal regulations at 42 CFR 483.20 (b)(1)(xviii), (g), and (h) require that (1) the assessment accurately reflects the resident's status. (3) the assessment process includes direct observation, as well as communication with the resident and direct care staff on all shifts.

F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 provide accurate PASRR screenings for individuals with a mental disorder for 2 (Resident #16 and Resident #52) of 14 residents reviewed for PASSAR assessments. Resident #16 did not have a new PASSAR level I screening completed or a PASSAR level II screening completed although a diagnosis of mental illness was diagnosed after the admission date. Resident #52 did not have an accurate PASSAR Level 1 screening after Resident #52 was admitted with a negative PASSAR Level 1 screening but had a mental illness. These failures could place all residents who had a mental illness or intellectual or developmental disability at risk for not receiving needed assessment, care, and services to meet their needs. Findings Included: Record review of Resident #165's Face Sheet indicated the resident was a [AGE] year-old male who admitted to the facility with an original admission date of 02/06/2015., an initial admission date of 06/10/2022, and an admission date of 10/07/2024.

Resident #15 also had others diagnoses of Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis following unspecified cerebrovascular disease affecting left non-dominant side (complete weakness and completed paralysis of one side of the body), Major Depressive Disorder (mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest) and Unspecified Dementia (symptoms that affect memory, thinking and social abilities). Record review of Resident #15's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed an active diagnosis of Anxiety Disorder, Depression, and Psychotic Disorder and a BIMS of 13 which indicates moderate cognitive impairment. Record review of Resident #15's Comprehensive Care Plan revealed a Focus Area that stated that Resident #15 was PASSAR PE negative due to primary diagnosis of dementia, despite diagnosis of MI dated 04/15/2022. Another Focus Area stated Mr. Resident #16 uses antidepressant medication related to Depression dated 01/01/2022. Record review of Resident #15's PASSAR records indicated no mental illness, intellectual disability and/or developmental disability were present on PASSAR I dated 06/10/2022 and Resident #15 did not qualify for PASSAR II or services. On 02/10/2025 at 11:15 AM an interview was attempted with Resident #16 in which the resident refused to be interviewed with state surveyor. On 02/11/2025 at 2:15 PM another additional interview was attempted with Resident #16 in which the resident had refused again an interview again. Observation on 02/10/2025 at 10:30 AM revealed Resident #52 laying in her bed in her room curled up in the fetal position asleep.

Record review of Resident #52's PASRR Level 1 screening, dated 10/16/2024 conducted by an acute care hospital, reflected Resident #52 was negative for mental illness, intellectual disability, and developmental disability. The PASRR Level 1 screening also indicated that a physician certified the individual is likely to require less than 30 days of Nursing Facility services. On 02/12/2025 at 1:01 PM an interview was completed with the Director Of Nursing (DON) who stated they had been employed with the facility since January 2025. The DON stated that they were unable to provide a description of the policy for PASSAR screenings. The DON stated the importance of PASSAR screenings was to ensure that the residents have their needs met. The DON stated that a PASSAR screening should be provided before admission into the facility. The DON stated that the facility should have provided PASSAR services to a resident with a positive mental illness diagnosis. The DON stated that people outside of the facility provide PASSAR screenings. The DON stated that the DON completes a screening of the resident's documents when residents are admitted to the facility. The DON stated that a negative impact that could result from residents not receiving PASSAR services, was the residents not receiving holistic care. The DON stated she did not know the PASSAR results of Resident #16 because she was DON is new to the facility. On 02/12/2025 at 1:20PM an interview was conducted with the ADM of the facility who has been employed at the facility for 3 months. The ADM stated that the policy for PASSAR screenings was that it should be completed upon admission. The ADM stated that it was important to complete screenings because it was important to know if the resident was PASSAR positive or not. The ADM stated if a resident has a positive diagnosis of Mental illness, the facility needs to ensure that the resident should have the resources for it. The ADM stated that PASSAR screenings were completed by the MDS coordinator with the region. The ADM stated he ensures that PASSAR screenings were completed by the previous facility and if it was not provided at admission, the ADM would reach out to obtain it. The ADM stated a negative impact for the resident if PASSAR services were not provided was that the resident may not have a proper diagnosis and resources. The ADM stated a new PASSAR screening should occur after a change of condition. The ADM stated that Resident #16 had a negative PASSAR screening. The ADM denied being aware of a mental illness diagnosis. On 02/12/2025 at 02:45PM an interview was conducted with the Corporate MDS Coordinator (CMDS) who stated they had been employed with the facility since 2019. The CMDS stated that they completed audits once a month to ensure PASSAR screenings were up to date. The CMDS stated a 1012 audit had not been completed in February yet. The CMDS stated that a form 1012 should be completed and communicated with the doctor to get a new PL1, if a resident had a change of condition. The CMDS stated that if a resident had a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder the results should be positive.

F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few stated that the resident should be provided with a level II PASSAR screening and notify local authorities of the results. The CMDS stated a negative outcome that could occur if a resident had a mental diagnosis but did not receive services, was the needs not being met for the resident. She stated that if a resident has a diagnosis of bipolar their PASRR should not say negative on the Level 1 screening. She stated that the facility should have reviewed the PASRR Level 1 and compared it to Resident #52's diagnoses. She stated that a negative outcome for a negative PASRR Level 1 that should have been positive and required a Level 2 screening by the LIDDA could be that the residents' needs went unmet for not receiving needed services. She stated that to ensure PASRR screenings are up to date audits were done once monthly. She stated that there has been a lot of staff turnover and that the MDS coordinator was responsible for checking these. Record Review of Resident Assessment PASSAR dated 11/2023 indicated the purpose of this policy is to ensure PASSAR's are being obtained and completed timely and accurately. This policy listed the following procedures: 1. PASSARs are obtained from referring entity by the admissions department. 2.
