This survey cited 3 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an accurate MDS was completed for 2 of 18 residents (Resident #10 and #18) reviewed for MDS assessment accuracy. Residents Affected - Few 1. The facility failed to accurately document Resident #18's pacemaker on his MDS. 2. The facility inaccurately documented that Resident #10 used restraints on her MDS. This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving care and services to meet their needs. Findings included: Resident #10 Record review of Resident #10's admission record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, lack of coordination, abnormal posture, reduced mobility, and a history of falling. She was [AGE] years old. Record review of Resident #10's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated: Section P - Restraints and Alarms, P0100. Physical Restraints - A. Bed rail was used less than daily. Record review of Resident #10's care plan dated 03/21/24 indicated: Problem: Resident uses DME. Resident has quarter side rails to assist with repositioning and transfers. Goal: Resident will experience no injury from the use of DME through the next review date (most recent revision date 09/25/23). Interventions: Assess for adverse effects of DME use such as incontinence, skin breakdown, decrease functional ability and confusion, and consult with physician. Ensure valid consent on chart prior to initializing restraint. Monitor for changes in mental status and changes in functional level and report to MD as needed. Record review of Resident #10's physician order summary report dated 03/21/24 indicated in part: (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0641 2 quarter side rails to assist her with bed mobility and transfers (order status active; order date 02/01/23) Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Resident #18 Residents Affected - Few Record review of Resident #18's admission record dated 03/20/2024 indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Parkinson's and pacemaker. He was [AGE] years of age. Record review of Resident #18's MDS with an ARD (assessment reference date) of 01/09/2024 did not indicate Resident #18 used a pacemaker. Record review of Resident #18's physician order report dated 3/21/24 indicated in part: Check pacemaker order status active. During an interview on 03/21/24 at 11:26 AM, the DON stated that Resident #10's bed rails were not in use as a restraint so there would not be anything in the charting system to indicate they were. She stated that the MDS nurse told her (the DON) that she had accidently checked the bed rails button in the restraint section when she was completing Resident #10's most recent quarterly MDS. The DON stated that an MDS modification had already been started to correct the error. The DON stated that the bed rails were never intended to be a restraint for Resident #10 and that she only used the bed rails for positioning and mobility while she was in bed. The DON stated she was not sure how both she and the MDS Coordinator overlooked that the restraint section of the Quarterly MDS had information checked when Resident #10 had never had that section populated before. During an interview on 03/21/24 at 12:04 PM, the MDS Coordinator said Resident #18's pacemaker should have been on the MDS, but it got missed. The MDS coordinator said they would have to update the MDS to indicate the resident had a pacemaker. During an interview on 03/21/24 at 12:05 PM, the DON said it was her responsibility to make sure the MDS's were updated and revised as needed and that she had not noticed that the pacemaker was not in the Resident #18's MDS and that it should have been. During an interview on 03/21/24 at 2:07 pm, the MDS Coordinator stated that she had no idea why she checked the bed rails box in the restraint section of Resident #10's Quarterly MDS. She stated she had always coded Resident #10 as no restraints on her past MDS assessments. She stated it was just human error. She stated she had made the correction and submitted the modification MDS for approval. The MDS Coordinator stated that type of error could affect a resident's care plan, quality measures, the type and amount of documentation to be done for or on the resident, the monitoring and daily care for the resident as well as the possible adverse effects of a resident being treated as though they had restraints when they did not. Record review of the CMS Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual Version 1.19.1, October 2024 reflected The RAI process has multiple regulatory requirements . (1) the assessment accurately reflects the resident's status.
