**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 328)
discharged from Medicare Part A services received a Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC, a form
given to Medicare recipients notifying then that Part A coverage is being terminated and providing
information on how to file an appeal of that decision) letter in a timely manner.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to prevent the resident from filing a timely appeal of the decision to discharge
from Medicare Part A services.
Findings:
A review of Resident 328's clinical records indicated, Resident 328 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnosis of pneumonia (infection of one or both lungs) with debility (physical weakness, especially
because of illness). The facility initiated a discharge of Medicare Part A services on 9/14/2022 with benefit
days remaining.
A review of Resident 328's NOMNC letter indicated, The Effective Date Coverage of Your Current Skilled
Nursing & Rehab Services Will End: 9-14-2022. Further review of the NOMNC letter's second page
indicated, RP (responsible party - a person empowered to make decisions for the resident/ person legally
responsible and liable for a decision or an action)) was notified via phone call on 9/15/22, also emailed her
copy, dated 9/15/22. The NOMNC also indicated the RP's signature on 9/27/22.
A review of the social service director's (SSD) progress note dated 9/15/2022 at 12:20 p.m., indicated, SSD
called RP informed her resident was no longer receiving skilled services of 9-14-22 he will be transitioned
to RNA (restorative nursing assistant - had special training and work alongside with rehab staff for patients
with limited mobility and capacity of self-care) program explained to sister regarding NOMNC last covered
days (LCD, days for skilled services) was 9-14-11, and LTC (long term care - services that include medical
and non-medical care provided to people who are unable to perform basic activities of daily living such as
dressing or bathing) as of 9-15-22. RP verbalized understanding of NOMNC. RP stated she was on
vacation and to email her copy of NOMNC she will sign upon return. SSD emailed copy to RP on 9/15/22.
During a concurrent interview and record review with SSD on 10/07/2022 at 10:02 a.m., the SSD reviewed
Resident 328's NOMNC letter and progress note on 9/15/2022. The SSD confirmed she called Resident
328's sister who was the RP on 9/15/2022 to notify about the LCD of skilled services. The SSD stated the
issuance and notification of the NOMNC letter's LCD should be done within 24 to 48 hours before the LCD
for resident or RP to have time to appeal the decision. The SSD confirmed the

Review of the facility's policy titled Care Plan Goals and Objectives, dated 7/1/2020 indicated, the goals and
objectives are entered on the resident's care plan so that all disciplines have access to such information
and are able to report whether or not the desired outcomes are being achieved.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop care plans for four of 18
sampled residents (Residents 18, 24, 175 and 14).
1. For Resident 18, the facility did not develop a care plan to address the use of insulin;
2. For Resident 24, the facility did not develop a care plan to address the use of oxygen;
3. For Resident 175, the facility did not develop care plans to address the use of oxygen and antidepressant
medication; and
4. For Resident 14, the facility did not develop a care plan to address the use of anticoagulant (blood
thinner).
This failure had the potential to result in the residents not receiving the interventions necessary to maintain
their highest level of well-being.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 18's clinical record indicated Resident 18 had a physician's orders dated 7/27/2022
for a routine Humalog (insulin - a hormone used to lower the blood sugar) three times a day and a Humalog
sliding scale (varies the dose of insulin based on blood sugar level) before meals and at bedtime for
diabetes mellitus (DM - a condition which affects the way the body processes blood sugar). Further review
of Resident 18's physician's order indicated an order dated 08/23/2022 of Lantus (type of insulin to lower
the sugar in the blood) to be given once a day and at bedtime for DM.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the minimum data set nurse (MDSN - a nurse
responsible for a resident's scheduled assessment and care planning) on 10/06/2022 at 1:44 p.m., the
MDSN reviewed Resident 18's list of care plans. The MDSN confirmed there was no care plan developed
for insulin use. The MDSN stated there should have been a care plan developed for Resident 18's insulin
use.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Care Plan Goals and Objectives, dated
07/01/2020, indicated, It was the policy of this facility that care plans shall incorporate goals and objectives
that lead to the resident's highest obtainable level of independence.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of 18 sampled residents (Residents 175 and
69) were free from unnecessary psychotropic medications (medications that cause changes in mood,
feelings or behavior) when:
1. For Resident 175, licensed nurses did not monitor for side effects and target behaviors (behaviors
intended to be changed or eliminated by the psychotropic medication); and
2. For Resident 69, licensed nurses did not consistently monitor for side effects and target behaviors, and
did not complete an abnormal involuntary movement scale assessment (AIMS assessment, a tool used to
monitor for abnormal bodily movements caused by antipsychotic medication).
These failures had the potential to compromise the residents' health and well-being.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 175's medical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] and had the diagnosis of
unspecified dementia (mental disorder caused by brain disease or injury) with behavioral disturbance.
Review of Resident 175's Order Summary Report indicated she had a physician's order, dated 9/22/22, for
Mirtazapine (medication used to treat depression) 7.5 milligrams (mg, unit of dose measurement) 1 tablet
by mouth at bedtime for depression manifested by poor appetite.
Review of Resident 175's medication administration record (MAR) indicated Resident 175 received
Mirtazapine 7.5 mg at bedtime from 9/22/22 onward. There was no documentation of side effects or target
behavior monitoring for Mirtazapine.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the director of nursing (DON) on 10/5/22 at 12:58
p.m., he stated for residents taking psychotropic medications, licensed nurses should monitor for side
effects and target behaviors every shift and document this on the MAR. The DON stated it was important to
monitor side effects and target behaviors to determine if the psychotropic medication doses needed to be
adjusted, and to determine whether or not the medications were effective. The DON reviewed Resident
175's medical record and confirmed there was no documentation of side effects or target behavior
monitoring for Mirtazapine.
2. Review of Resident 69's medical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] and had the diagnosis of
dementia with behavioral disturbance.
Review of Resident 69's Clinical Physician Orders indicated she had orders, dated 9/7/22, for the following
medications: 1) Olanzapine (medication used to treat psychosis) 20 mg 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime for
psychosis manifested by talking to self; 2) Paroxetine (medication used to treat depression) 30 mg 1 tablet
by mouth at bedtime for depression manifested by loss of interest to previous enjoyable activities; and 3)
