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 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.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 once the 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.
