the facility failed to ensure Resident #60's annual MDS, with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of
07/07/2023, reflected that the resident was considered by the state level II PASRR process to have a
serious mental illness and/or intellectual disability or related condition.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
A review of the CMS Long-Term Care Facility RAI 3.0 User's Manual, version 1.18.11, dated October 2023,
Chapter 3: Overview to the Item-By-Item Guide to the MDS 3.0, A1500: Preadmission Screening an
Resident Review (PASRR), revealed, Code 1, yes: if PASRR Level II screening determined that the resident
has a serious mental illness and/or ID/DD [intellectual disability/developmental disability] or related

recommended, which included services and supports to supplement nursing facility care to address the
resident's mental health needs.
A review of an annual MDS, with an ARD of 07/07/2023, revealed Resident #60 had a Brief Interview for

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on observations, record review, interviews, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure the
use of a bilevel positive airway pressure machine (BiPAP, a machine used to provide noninvasive
ventilation) was reflected on the care plan for 1 (Resident #60) of 2 sampled residents reviewed for
respiratory care.
Findings included:
A review of a facility policy titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, revised in March 2023,
revealed, A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables
to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each
resident. The policy specified, The comprehensive, person-centered care plan: a. includes measurable
objective and timeframes; b. describes the services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the
residents highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being, including (3) which
professional services are responsible for each element of care and e. reflects currently recognized
standards of practice for problem areas and conditions.
A review of an admission Record revealed the facility most recently admitted Resident #60 on 04/06/2022
with diagnoses that included obstructive sleep apnea.
A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of
01/03/2024, revealed Resident #60 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 14, which
indicated the resident was cognitively intact. According to the MDS, the resident utilized a non-invasive
mechanical ventilator while a resident of the facility.
A review of Resident #60's Order Summary Report, listing active orders as of 03/08/2024, revealed the
following orders dated 07/19/2022:

evening and night shift;
-Cleanse BiPAP mask before and after use, wipe mask with personal cleansing cloth every evening and

-Cleanse BiPAP tubing every week on Sunday, cleanse with soap and warm water, pat and hang dry.
A review of Resident #60's Care Plan, last reviewed on 01/11/2024, revealed the resident had a care plan
addressing impaired gas exchange related to obstructive sleep apnea; however, at the time of the review,
the care plan did not address the resident's use of a BiPAP. The facility revised the resident's care plan on
03/07/2024 (during the survey) to include a Goal related to BiPAP use. The undated Interventions consisted
of assessing the resident's respiratory function, checking the condition of the resident's skin under the
BiPAP mask and securing band, frequent visual checks, and palpating the resident's abdomen for
distention. None of the interventions were related to the resident's specific BiPAP orders, or to the ordered
cleaning and maintenance of the equipment.
Observations and interview on 03/07/2024 at 1:40 PM revealed a BiPAP machine on Resident #60's

longer considered active and was no longer a current problem for the resident), so it needed to be
reactivated.
During an interview on 03/08/2024 at 11:01 AM, the Administrator stated Resident #60's care plan should
have addressed the use of a BiPAP.
