Ensure each resident must receive and the facility must provide necessary behavioral health care and services.
Based on interview and record review, for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1), the facility failed to provide the necessary behavioral health care and services to attain or maintain the highest practicable mental and psychosocial well-being when psychiatric and mental health services were not provided to treat mental and substance use disorders. This failure had the potential to result in significant distress from unresolved psychosocial and mental health issues.

During a review of Resident 1's Hospitalists SNF/Rehab Discharge Summary (Hospital DC Summary), dated 1/10/24, the Hospital DC Summary indicated Resident 1 admitted to using methamphetamine (a powerful, highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system) earlier on 1/7/24. The summary also indicated urine toxicology was done and Resident 1 tested positive for methamphetamine and cocaine (also a highly addictive stimulant, a stimulant speeds up the messages traveling between the brain and the rest of the body). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, , a resident assessment instrument used to identify resident care problems to be addressed in an individualized care plan), dated 1/17/24, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had the following active diagnoses: schizophrenia, other psychoactive substance abuse, and auditory hallucinations. During a review of Resident 1's Physician Order Report, dated 1/10/24 – 7/7/24, the Physician Order Report indicated the following: 1. A physician's order, dated 1/10/24, to refer Resident 1 to Mental Health. 2. A physician's order, dated 2/21/24, for psychiatric evaluation. 3. Physician's orders for Out On Pass on 6/13/24, 6/20/24 and 7/3/24.
