1. Ensure a Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR- a federal assessment requirement to
help ensure that individuals who have a mental disorder or intellectual disabilities are placed in facilities that
can provide the appropriate care) assessment was resubmitted for one of 6 sampled residents (Resident
57).
This deficient practice had the potential to place the resident at risk of not receiving necessary care and
mental health services.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 57's face sheet, the face sheet indicated Resident 57 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. The face sheet also indicated Resident 57 had diagnoses which included bipolar disorder
(a serious mental illness that causes extreme shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and concentration),
depression (a serious mental health condition that involves a persistent low mood or loss of interest in
activities), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD- a disorder in which a person has difficulty recovering after
experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event) and hypertension (a condition in which the pressure of your
blood in your blood vessels is consistently too high).
During a review of Resident 57's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment
tool), dated 9/19/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 57's cognitive skills were severely impaired. The MDS
also indicated Resident 57 required supervision with toileting hygiene, showering and upper/lower body
dressing.
During a review of Resident 57's PASRR Level 1 screening, the PASRR indicated Resident 57 did not have
a mental health disorder.
During a review of Resident 57's diagnosis list, the diagnosis list indicated Resident 57 was diagnosed with
bipolar disorder, PTSD, and depression.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 11/14/2024, at 11:58 a.m., with the Resident Care
Coordinator (RCC), the RCC stated PASRR's were conducted before admission to the facility or if a
resident had a change of condition. The RCC stated Resident 57's PASRR Level 1 results were negative,
indicating Resident 57 did not have a mental illness. The RCC stated Resident 57's diagnosis list indicated
Resident 57 had a diagnosis of bipolar disorder upon admission on [DATE]. The RCC stated

a PASRR should had been resubmitted for Resident 57. The RCC stated the risk of not resubmitting a
PASRR for a resident could result in a lack of mental health resources that a resident need.
During a interview, on 11/15/2024 at 1:03 p.m., with the Director of Nursing, the DON stated the RCC was
responsible for completing the PASRR for residents. The DON stated PASRRs are conducted prior to
admission and for any change of condition. The DON stated a PASRR should had been resubmitted for
Resident 57. The DON stated the risk of not resubmitting a PASRR for a resident could result in not
providing the best care possible for the resident and a lack of care.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedures, titled Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review
(PASRR) Policy, undated, the policy and procedure indicated, The facility will refer all Level 2 residents and
all residents with newly evident or possible serious mental disorder, intellectual disability, or related
condition for a Level 2 review upon a significant change in status assessment to the State PASRR
representative.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to:
1. Ensure Resident 30 was not prescribed Seroquel (an anti-psychotic medication used to treat mental
illness) to control dementia (condition where there is a decline in mental abilities and memory) symptoms.
This deficient practice put Resident 30 at risk of an adverse reaction (bad outcome) from taking an
anti-psychotic without a diagnosis of a mental illness.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 30's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 30 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia, diabetes (high blood sugar), and
hypertension (high blood pressure).
During a review of Resident 30's History and Physical (H&P), dated 4/28/2023, the H&P indicated Resident
30 does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 30's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated 10/24/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 30's cognition (ability to gain knowledge and
understand) was moderately impaired. Resident 30 does not have indicators of psychosis (symptoms that
make it difficult to determine reality). There are no behavioral symptoms.
During a review of Resident 30's Physician Orders, dated 11/14/2024, the orders indicated Resident 30 is
taking Seroquel 50 mg three times a day for dementia with behavioral disturbances manifested by striking
out.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/15/2024 at 2:13 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 1,
Resident 30's medical record was reviewed. The record indicated Resident 30 does not have a diagnosed
mental illness. RN1 stated Resident 30 takes Seroquel to control dementia behaviors. RN1 stated giving an
anti-psychotic to an elderly person with dementia can be harmful because it increases their risk of falls.

1. Ensure that the medication storage room had a room thermometer that was monitored, and the readings
recorded in a room temperature log to ensure a safe temperature range for medication storage.
This deficient practice had the potential for harm to residents due to the potential loss of strength of the
drugs, and the potential for the residents to receive ineffective drug dosages.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview, on November 15, 2024, at 9:00 am of the medication room
with the Director of Nursing (DON), there was no room thermometer to monitor the temperature. The DON
stated there usually is a thermometer in the medication storage room. DON looked around the room and
stated, The room was reorganized, and I do not know where it is now. When the surveyor asked if there is a
logbook to record room temperatures, the DON stated, We do not have a logbook for room temperatures,
only the refrigerator has a log. The DON stated they would request maintenance to come check the room
temperature if it felt too warm or cold.
During an observation, on November 15, 2024, at 9:22 am, Administrator (ADM) 1, opened a new package
containing a room thermometer and hung it on a bulletin board near the medication room door.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedures titled Storing Drugs, indicated Keep drugs requiring
storage at 'room temperature' at no less than 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit) or more than 30
