**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to coordinate the Medical Doctor's (MD) appointment for Level
II Preadmission Screening (PASARR) for one (1) of eight (8) residents, Resident 52.
This failure resulted in cancellation of MD's evaluation for mental illness and a delay of care and services
needed for Resident 52.
Findings:
Level II PASARR is a federal requirement to help ensure that individuals who have a mental disorder or
intellectual disabilities are not inappropriately placed in a nursing home for long term care.
A record review of Resident 52 titled admission record indicated she was initially admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with mental conditions of agoraphobia (is afraid to leave environments they know or consider to be
safe) with panic disorder, Bipolar II disorder and panic disorder (episodic anxiety).
A record review of Resident 52's evaluation titled Level I PASARR dated 9/27/23 was positive indicated a
Level II PASARR mental health evaluation from Department of Health Services was required.
A review of the letter from the Department of Health Service, for Resident 52, addressed to the
Administrator titled Unable to complete evaluation for Level II PASARR dated 9/20/23, indicated After
reviewing the Positive Level I Screen and speaking with staff, a Level II Mental Health Evaluation was not
scheduled for the following reason: o The individual was unable to participate in the Evaluation. The case is
now closed. To reopen, please submit a new Level I Screen.
During an interview on 12/12/23 at 2:30 p.m. in Social Service office, Social Worker stated that the previous
Social Worker did not follow up the Level II PASARR evaluation, therefore Resident 52 needed to repeat the
Level I PASARR to get another MD's evaluation appointment for Level II PASARR.
A review of Resident 52 medical record did not indicate there was a re-evaluation done for Level I PASARR.
During an interview on 12/14/23 at 3:30 p.m. the DON stated, there was no Policy & Procedure (P&P) for
PASARR.

Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being
admitted
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure staff were aware of the Basic Care Plan (BCP, a
plan that promotes continuity of care and communication among nursing home staff to increase resident
safety) completion time frame and BCP's were completed timely for two out of two sampled residents
(Residents 40 and 49). These failures had the potential to put residents' safety at risk and for residents not
receiving the care that they need.
Findings:
A review of Resident 40's face sheet (demographics) indicated she was initially admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. Her diagnoses included Hyperlipidemia (HLP, high cholesterol is an excess of lipids or fats in your
blood), Dementia (the loss of cognitive functioning - thinking, remembering, and reasoning - to such an
extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities) and Major Depressive Disorder (a mood
disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest). Her Minimum Data Sheet
Assessment (MDS, a federally mandated process for clinical assessment of all residents in Medicare and
Medicaid certified nursing homes) dated 10/9/23, Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, a mandatory tool
used to screen and identify the cognitive condition of residents) indicated she was moderately impaired and
required cues and supervision in making decisions regarding tasks of daily life. Resident 40's functional
status indicated she needed supervision or touching assistance of staff when performing her Activities of
Daily Living (ADL, activities related to personal care which include bathing or showering, dressing, getting
in and out of bed or a chair, walking, using the toilet, and eating).
A review of Resident 49's face sheet indicated she was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her
diagnoses included Encephalopathy (any disease that affects the whole brain and alters its structure or
how it works, and causes changes in mental function), Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (a chronic-long-term
condition, in which a high level of glucose (sugar) is present in the bloodstream) and Muscle Weakness (a
lack of muscle strength). Her MDS dated [DATE] BIMS score was 12 indicating moderately impaired
cognition (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought,
experience, and the senses). Resident 49's functional status indicated she needed extensive assistance of
1 to 2 staff when performing her Activities of Daily Living. Resident 49 was not confined to bed.
During an interview on 12/15/23 at 10:20 a.m., Licensed Staff P stated she was not sure of BCP completion
time frame. Licensed Staff P stated care plans were important for residents safety and to ensure residents
receive the care that they need.
During an interview on 12/15/23 at 10:56 a.m., the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated BCP should
be done within 48 hours of admission. The DSD stated if a resident was readmitted to the facility, a new
BCP should be completed. The DSD stated if a BCP was done late, not within 48 hours of admission, then
the facility process and policy was not followed. The DSD stated BCP was important because the
Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, group of dedicated healthcare professionals who work together to provide you
with the care you need, when you need it) worked together to create a thoughtful, resident centered
individualized care. The DSD stated if the BCP was not done on time, residents would be at risk for not
receiving the individualized and thoughtful care that they need. The DSD stated residents or responsible
party (RP, the person who is responsible for making health care decision or

BCP was done, a copy should be given to the resident or RP.
During a concurrent interview and Residents 40 and 49's BCP record review on 12/15/23 at 2:08 p.m., the
Director of Nursing (DON) stated BCP should be completed within 48 hours of admission per facility policy.
The DON stated a new BCP would be completed if a resident was readmitted to the facility. The DON
verified Resident 40's BCP completion date was confusing but stated she should have another BCP done if
she was readmitted on 3/2023. The DON verified Resident 49 was admitted on [DATE] however her BCP
was completed 4 days later on 5/30/23.
During an interview on 12/15/23 at 2:58 p.m., Licensed Staff V stated she was not sure of the completion
time frame for BCP. Licensed Staff V stated care plan was important, so staff knew about residents' needs
and the type of care they need.
During an interview on 12/15/23 at 2:59 p.m., the DON verified there was no new BCP completed for
Resident 40 when she was readmitted on [DATE] and the BCP for Resident 49 was completed late.
Based on the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Care Plans-Baseline, revised 12/2022, the P&P
indicated a baseline plan of care should be developed for each residents within 48 hours of admission.

During a telephone interview on 12/12/23 at 11:57 a.m., with Responsible Party S, she stated I have not
been asked to participate in a Care Conference since Resident 51 was admitted . She stated she made
phone calls to the facility to find out how the resident was doing but a lot of times no one would answer the
phone. She stated she had cancer and could not come into the facility and no one from the facility had
called her about anything unless Resident 51 falls. She stated the last Care Conference she participated in
was when they decided to put the Resident 51 in long term care and that has been over a year. She stated
she had not participated in the plan of care for Resident 51 since he went into long term care and it made
her miss Resident 51 even more.
During an interview with Social Services Director on 12/14/23, at 9:44 a.m., she stated she had been in role
for only three weeks and Resident 1 was one of the cases that she became aware of early in her role that
she knew the previous person in this role had messed up. She stated there had been a lack of discharge
planning for Resident 1 and she had to start the planning over again from the beginning. She stated this

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the development of a
plant-based menu. This failure had the potential for vegetarian residents to not meet the recommended
daily intake (RDI, the average daily dietary intake level that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of
nearly all (97-98 per cent) healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group) for certain
nutrients like protein or vitamins which could further compromise their medical status .
Findings:
During an interview on 12/13/23 at 2:31 p.m., the RD stated the facility did not have a plant based menu.
The RD stated if a resident was vegetarian, they would be served the same food as the resident with a
regular diet, however, they would substitute it with vegan option. The RD stated the facility did not have a
menu specific to cater to resident who was vegetarian. The RD stated she was not aware having a plant
based menu was a standard. When asked if she thought having a plant based menu for the facility was
important to meet vegetarian resident's needs, she did not respond to this question, but she stated they
had not admitted residents who was vegetarian for months now. When asked if the facility had admitted
residents who was vegetarian in the past, she stated yes, but not in a while.
During an interview on 12/13/23 at 3:21 p.m., [NAME] 2 stated if there were residents who were vegetarian,
he would check the facility's plant based menu to plan for their meals. [NAME] 2 did not know the facility did
not have a plant based menu. When asked how he could be sure the facility was serving a nutritious
vegetarian meal that would meet the residents nutritional needs, he did not respond and looked at the
Dietary Manager (DM) who shook her head. When asked if it was important to have varied menu for
residents who were vegetarian, he did not respond. When asked if there was a risk for residents who had a
vegetarian diet to not receive a meal that would meet their nutritional needs, [NAME] 2 stated there was a
risk.
During an interview on 12/13/23 at 3:23 p.m., the DM stated they do not have a plant based meal menu, but
she had now ordered the plant based menu from the company. When asked how the facility could be sure
they were serving nutritious meals that meet a vegetarian resident nutritional need, the DM did not
respond. When asked if it was important to have varied menu for a resident that were vegetarian, the DM
did not respond.
During an interview on 2/14/23 at 5:50 a.m., [NAME] 1 stated if a resident requested a plant based meal,
he would check the facility's plant based meal menu. [NAME] 1 stated he was not aware the facility did not
have a plant based meal menu available to use if a resident requested a plant based meal. [NAME] 1 stated
having a plant based menu was important because he needs to follow the recipe to make sure he was
serving a plant based meal that would meet residents' nutritional needs. [NAME] 1 stated not having a plant
based meal menu put vegetarian residents at risk for not meeting their nutritional needs. [NAME] 1 stated a
plant based meal menu was important so that he could follow the recipe for a plant based meal.
During an interview on 12/15/23 at 10:56 a.m., the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated having a
menu with recipe was important. The DSD stated not having a menu with recipe could lead to residents not
meeting their optimal nutritional needs.

Establish a governing body that is legally responsible for establishing and implementing policies for
managing and operating the facility and appoints a properly licensed administrator responsible for
managing the facility.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the Governing Body (a group of people that has the
authority to exercise governance over an organization) failed to ensure to designate or appoint a California
Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) (Administrator is responsible for establishing and
implementing policies regarding the management of the facility) who would be legally responsible for
establishing and implementing policies regarding the management and operation when:
1)
The Administrator in training (AIT) claimed to be the Administrator of the facility, for over 6 weeks including
during the recertification survey dated 12/11/23 - 12/14/23.
2)
The AIT was licensed by the State of Montana and was currently scheduled to take the reciprocity
administrator licensing exam on 12/14/23.
3)
The current licensee Administrator for the facility was not present in the building to provide oversite since
October 2023 and during the survey on 12/11/-12/14/23. The current administrator was supervising other
two facilities which were more than two hours away from this facility, a facility that he was the designated
licensee Administrator.
This failure had the potential to result in mismanagement and misguided of the care of vulnerable residents
and false information provided by the AIT that he was the Administrator to the vulnerable residents, staff,
and visitors.
Findings:
(1)
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/11/23 at 9:15 a.m., at the initiation of the
recertification survey, the Administrator in Training (AIT) greeted the surveyors. When asked if he was the
Administrator, he answered yes. The AIT stated that he had been the Administrator for 6 weeks. AIT stated
that he was previously the AIT at the other affiliated facility.
(2)
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/14/23 at 2 p.m., inside the glass of the bulletin board
in Hall 500 was an approximately a 3x5 inches white paper with posting indicated [the name of the licensee
Administrator], which was not the AIT present. When asked the AIT, who was this licensee Administrator
whose name was posted on the bulletin board, the AIT stated that he was the licensee Administrator but
had not been there for over 6 weeks. When the AIT was asked where the licensee Administrator was, the
AIT replied, he had not been there. The AIT was asked for a copy of his current Nursing Home
Administrator (NHA) license and the phone number of the licensee Administrator.

During an interview on 12/15/23 at 10:20 a.m., Licensed Staff P stated oxygen tubing had to have an exact
date when it was changed. Licensed Staff P stated not dating the oxygen tubing could lead to staff
assuming it was recently changed even though it was not. Unlicensed Staff P stated this could cause
bacteria to accumulate and could cause respiratory infections. Licensed Staff P stated if a concentrator was
used, a humidifier should be added. Licensed Staff P stated not using a humidifier while on oxygen could
lead to nasal passages irritation, nose bleeding and dry nose.
During an interview on 12/15/23 at 11:34 a.m., the DSD stated the oxygen tubing orange sticker indicated
the oxygen tubing was changed. The DSD stated the orange sticker still needed to have the date on when

was changed because debris could accumulate in the oxygen tubing and this could lead to respiratory
infection. The DSD stated using a humidifier was important to keep nasal passages moist. The DSD stated
if a humidifier was not used while on oxygen therapy, it could lead to dry nasal passages which could be
painful, and could lead to nosebleed. The DSD stated residents would feel uncomfortable. The DSD stated
residents then might not want to use oxygen which could lead to respiratory issues.
During an interview on 12/15/23 at 12:46 p.m., the DON stated it was the facility's expectation to have a
date on the orange sticker attached to the oxygen tubing to identify when it was last changed. The DON did

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the kitchen walls were in
good repair when holes on the walls were noted. This failure could result in rodents and pest accessing the
kitchen area through these holes which could put residents at risk for harmful diseases.
Residents Affected - Few
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/14/23 at 6:44 a.m., when asked about the multiple
holes on the kitchen wall by the dish sanitizing machine, the Registered Dietician (RD) stated she could not
identify what those holes were, but it could possibly be screw holes. When asked if those kitchen holes
should be covered, she stated she does not know how deep those were, but she would notify maintenance
today. The RD stated she conducted environmental rounds in the kitchen monthly. The RD stated she did
not recall if she had noted these kitchen holes on her kitchen environmental rounds.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/14/23 at 12:12 p.m., the Maintenance Director was
shown the holes in kitchen wall by the dish sanitizing machine. The Maintenance Director stated these
kitchen wall holes were not reported to him. The Maintenance Director stated it was important the kitchen
wall holes were covered to ensure pest could not enter the kitchen through these holes for residents' safety
and sanitary reason. The Maintenance Director stated the kitchen area was damp and had moisture, so it
could attract pest. The Maintenance Director stated the holes on the kitchen walls would need to be
covered.
During an interview on 12/15/23 at 9:58 a.m., Unlicensed Staff O stated holes on the kitchen walls should
be covered otherwise pest could get inside the facility through these holes and the facility could have issues
with pest control. Unlicensed Staff O stated pest could contaminate residents' food and residents could get
sick.
During an interview on 12/15/23 at 10:20 a.m., Licensed Staff P stated holes on the kitchen walls should be
covered so pest couldn't enter the facility through these holes. Licensed Staff P stated it was a safety issue
as resident's food could be exposed to pests and could lead to residents getting sick.
During an interview on 12/15/23 at 11:34 a.m., when asked about the holes on the kitchen wall, the DSD
stated she would contact the Maintenance Director and would ask him to fill the holes on the kitchen walls.
The DSD stated the holes on the kitchen walls should be covered because the facility would not want
something from the outside to get inside and moisture could get in the holes in the kitchen wall and become
a breeding point for pests. The DSD stated these could result to contamination, bacteria and germs could
also breed in the food or kitchen items.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Maintenance Services revised 12/2009, the P&P
indicated the Maintenance Department is responsible for maintaining the buildings, grounds, and
equipment in a safe and operable manner at all times .maintaining the building in good repair and free from
hazards . the Maintenance Director is responsible for developing and maintaining a schedule of
maintenance service to assure that the building was maintained in safe and operable manner.
