F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews the facility failed to coordinate assessments with pre-admission screening and resident review (PASRR) program under Medicaid to the maximum extent practicable to avoid duplicative testing and effort which included referring all level II residents and all residents with newly evident or possible serious mental disorder, intellectual disability, or a related condition for level II resident review upon a significant change in status assessment for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #61) reviewed for PASRR Level I screenings. The facility failed to ensure the correct PASRR (a preliminary assessment completed for all individuals before admission to a Medicaid-certified nursing facility to determine whether they might have a mental illness or intellectual disability) Level 1 Screening was submitted to the local authority for Resident #61 who had a diagnosis of mental illness upon admission. This failure could place residents at risk for a diminished quality of life and not receiving necessary care and services in accordance with individually assessed needs. Findings include: Record review of Resident #61's face sheet dated 01/15/25, indicated a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe), bipolar disorder (mental illness that causes extreme shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels), anxiety (intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations), and depression (persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest that can interfere with daily activities). Record review of Resident #61's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident #61 was able to make herself understood and understood others. Resident #61 had a BIMS score of 10, indicating her cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #61 had an active diagnosis of bipolar disorder and had received antipsychotic medication within the last 7 days of the 7-day look back period. Record review of Resident #61's comprehensive care plan dated 12/29/24, indicated Resident #61 required anti-psychotic medications. The care plan interventions included to administer medications as ordered, monitor/record occurrence of target behavior symptoms, and to monitor/record/report to medical director as needed side effects and adverse reactions of psychoactive medications. Record review of Resident #61's PASRR Level 1 Screening form dated 11/20/24, indicated Resident #61 (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.

Residents Affected - Few Record review of Resident #61's medication administration record dated 01/01/25- 01/31/25, indicated she had received quetiapine 100mg one tablet by mouth daily for anxiety related to bipolar disorder. During an interview on 01/15/25 at 10:22 AM, MDS Coordinator D said when a resident admitted to the facility and their PASRR did not indicate they had a mental illness, they would not know if a corrected PASRR Level 1 needed to be completed. MDS Coordinator D said since Resident #61 had a diagnosis of mental disorder then a Form 1012 or a new PASRR level 1 screening form should have been completed. MDS Coordinator D said since she missed Resident #61 diagnosis of bipolar disorder, Resident #61 did not have a positive PASRR level 1 screening. This placed Resident #61 at risk for not receiving PASRR services through the local authority. MDS Coordinator D said she was responsible for ensuring the PASRR Level 1 Screening forms were completed correctly . During an interview on 01/15/25 at 3:27 PM, the DON said he was not familiar with the PASRR process. The DON said the MDS Coordinator was responsible for completing the PASRR Level 1 Screening forms accurately. The DON said by not completing the PASRR Level 1 screening correctly and the resident was positive for a mental illness they could fail to address the resident's mental health. During an interview on 01/15/25 at 4:02 PM, the Administrator said she expected the policy for PASRR to be followed as well as the regulation. The Administrator said if a resident had a history of mental health, then the PASRR Level 1 screening should be addressed and followed up on. The Administrator said the MDS Coordinator was responsible for ensuring the PASRR Level 1 Screenings were completed accurately so the residents received the services they need to maintain their highest level of functioning. Record review of the facility's policy and procedure, PASRR Level 1 Screen Policy and Procedure, indicated . it is the policy of [same corporate owned healthcare facilities] to obtain a PL1 screening form from the referring entity prior to the Nursing Facility . The PASRR Program is important because it provides options for individuals to choose where they live, who they live with and the training and therapy they need to live as independently as possible . 3. The facility will review the PL1 Screening Form for completion and correctness prior to admission and submit the PL1 form per regulations . review each item on the PL1 to ensure accuracy and prevent a regulatory problem .

The facility failed to ensure a fall mat was beside Resident #9's bed as stated in her care plan. This failure could affect residents by placing them at risk of not receiving appropriate interventions to meet their current needs. Findings included: Record review of Resident #9's face sheet, dated 01/15/25, indicated an [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included Dementia (loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that were severe enough to interfere with daily life), Bipolar disorder (a chronic mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings between periods of mania (elevated mood), depression (low mood), and high blood pressure. Record review of Resident #9's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 11/25/24, indicated Resident #9 usually makes herself understood and understood others. Resident #9's BIMS score was 06, which meant she was severely cognitively impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #9 required help with toileting bed mobility, dressing, transfers, personal hygiene, and eating. The MDS indicated she had a fall on a prior assessment. Record review of Resident #9's physician's order dated 02/23/24 indicated: May have a fall mat at the bedside every shift. Record review of Resident #9's comprehensive care plan, with a revised date of 12/24/24, indicated Resident #9 had a diagnosis of insomnia (a sleep disorder that makes it hard to fall or stay asleep) and was at risk for impaired sleep pattern, mood swings, and increased risk for falls. The intervention was to apply a fall mat at the bedside. During an observation on 01/14/25 at 10:44 a.m., Resident #9 was lying in her bed with no fall mat on the floor next to her bed. During an observation and interview on 01/15/25 at 8:48 a.m., Resident #9 was lying in her bed with no fall mat noted at the bedside. Resident #9's roommate said Resident #9 had a fall mat but unknown date of when she saw it last. The roommate said Resident #9 had attempted to get up in the past, but she would push her call light for someone to help her. CNA I came to Resident #9's room and verified Resident #9's fall mat was not placed beside the bed. She said she knew Resident #9 had a fall mat and should have had a fall mat beside her bed because she was at risk of falling. LVN E looked at Resident #9's electronic medical records and verified Resident #9 had an order for a fall mat at the bedside. LVN E said she started working on Resident #9's hall in November of 2024 but could not remember if she ever saw a fall mat for Resident #9 .

It is important to distinguish between an expiration date and a production date, or a best by or use by date. Production dates indicate when the product was manufactured, not when it expires and should not be interpreted as a best by or use by date. Best by or use by dates indicate when a product will have best flavor or quality and are not an indicator of the product's safety. As the quality may deteriorate after the date passes, the dietary manager should closely inspect any products that are past the best by date to determine if they are still good quality. If in doubt, discard the product. If any stamped date is unclear, contact the food vendor for clarification. If an item does not have a date designated by the manufacturer as an expiration date, then the item should be dated as to when it is received, and shelf-stable items will be stored in a first in, first out manner, to be used within one year. After one year, any product that is shelf stable will be inspected by the dietary manager to ensure that it is good quality before it is used. Any product with a stamped expiration date will be discarded once that date passes.
