MDSC 1 stated that Resident 56's SCSA should have been completed on 2/10/25. Furthermore, MDSC 1 stated that a significant change in status assessment should be completed 14 days after a significant change in status was determined. According to the Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual Version 1.19.1, dated October 2024, indicated, .The OBRA (Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987) regulations require nursing homes that are Medicare certified, Medicaid certified or both, to conduct initial and periodic assessments for all their residents . The SCSA is a comprehensive assessment for a resident that must be completed when the IDT has determined that a resident meets the significant change guidelines for either major improvement or decline . A significant change is a major decline or improvement in a resident's status that: 1. Will not normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or by implementing standard disease-related clinical interventions, the decline is not considered self-limiting; 2. Impacts more than one area of the resident's health status; and 3. Requires interdisciplinary review and/or revision of the care plan . The ARD must be less than or equal to 14 days after the IDT's determination that the criteria for an SCSA are met (determination date + 14 calendar days). The MDS completion date (item Z0500B) must be no later than 14 days from the ARD (ARD + 14 calendar days) and no later than 14 days after the determination that the criteria for an SCSA were met.

A review of the facility's Informed Consent for Bedrail Use - Facility verification Form indicated the consent was obtained on 6/29/23.A review of the care plan with a start date of 6/30/23, indicated Resident 97 was at risk for fall or injury. The care plan interventions to address fall or injury included having the bed / side rails up when the resident is in bed and to anticipate resident's needs. A review of the Minimum Data Set (a standard assessment tool) dated 3/13/25, indicated diagnoses for Resident 97 included dementia (decline in memory or other thinking skills), diabetes (abnormally high blood sugar level) and hypertension (abnormally high blood pressure). Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS, a brief memory test to help determine cognitive function including memory recall and decision-making ability) indicated moderately impaired cognition (decisions poor, supervision required). Functional status indicated Resident 97 was dependent (helper does all the effort. Resident does none to complete the activity) with all activities of daily living including bed mobility (the ability to turn and reposition in bed) and transfer (ability to transfer in and out of bed). A review of the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, a group of professionals who work together to provide resident care) notes dated 4/24/25, indicated Resident 97 fell out of bed during ADL care. The IDT notes indicated that the two Certified Nurse Assistants (CNA 1 and CNA 2) did not put the side rail up when they left the resident's bedside. A review of the facility investigation dated 4/24/25, indicated CNA 1 stated that while (with CNA 2) were in the bathroom, they heard a thump and saw the resident on the floor. The facility investigation further indicated CNA 1 and CNA 2 transferred Resident 97 from the floor to bed and continued providing care. A review of the facility investigation indicated on 4/24/25, Resident 97 complained of pain and was transferred to the emergency department (ED). The facility investigation further indicated that on 4/25/25, staff observed Resident 97 was grimacing (a facial expression to non-verbally communicate pain) when moving their legs. More grimacing was observed when the right hip was touched. The Xray (a test that produces pictures of the inside of the body) result indicated a non-displaced impacted fracture (when the bone is broken but the bone fragments remain aligned) through the right femur and osteopenia (fragile bones). During an interview on 8/13/25, at 12:12 PM, the Director of Nursing stated that the CNA's should have put the side rail up before they left the resident. The DON stated that there was no other incident that occurred after the fall incident. The DON further stated that the two CNAs have terminated their employment. A review of the facility Policy and Procedure titled Major neurocognitive disorder (formerly known as dementia) - Patient Care with a revised date 5/2025, indicated, .

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Interim Dietary Director (IDD), who is also a registered dietitian and oversees the kitchen, was fully sufficient when she did not ensure that auditing of the dish machine logs and cooling (Cooling is the specific method and guideline used to rapidly lower the temperature of cooked food to a safe storage level, preventing bacterial growth. Improper cooling is a major factor in causing foodborne illness. Taking too long to chill potentially hazardous food, which means food that requires time/temperature control for safety to limit the growth of pathogens, has been consistently identified as one factor contributing to foodborne illness. Foods that have been cooked and held at improper temperatures promote the growth of disease-causing microorganisms that may have survived the cooking process (e.g., spore-formers). Cooked potentially hazardous foods that are subject to time and temperature control for safety are best cooled rapidly within 2 hours, from 135 F to 70 F, and within 4 more hours to the temperature of approximately 41 F. The total time for cooling from 135 F to 41 F should not exceed 6 hours.) logs was done in the kitchen.

Temperature of wash and rinse cycle should be checked for adequacy before use . 7. Cooling is the specific method and guideline used to rapidly lower the temperature of cooked food to a safe storage level, preventing bacterial growth. Improper cooling is a major factor in causing foodborne illness. Taking too long to chill potentially hazardous food, which means food that requires time/temperature control for safety to limit the growth of pathogens, has been consistently identified as one factor contributing to foodborne illness. Foods that have been cooked and held at improper temperatures promote the growth of disease-causing microorganisms that may have survived the cooking process (e.g., spore-formers). Cooked potentially hazardous foods that are subject to time and temperature control for safety are best cooled rapidly within 2 hours, from 135 F to 70 F, and within 4 more hours to the temperature of approximately 41 F. The total time for cooling from 135 F to 41 F should not exceed 6 hours. 2022 Food Code from U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicated, . Improper cooling remains a major contributor to bacterial foodborne illness . Cooked hot food should be discarded immediately if the food is: Above 70 F and more than two hours into the cooling process; or Above 41 F and more than six hours into the cooling process .
