What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 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 observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately assess each resident's status for 3 of 18 residents(Resident #6, #30 and #57) reviewed for accuracy of assessments. Residents Affected - Some --the facility failed to ensure Resident # 6's Significant Change MDS did not code grab bars to aid with bed mobility as restraints --the facility failed to ensure Resident # 30's Significant Change MDS assessment did not have catheter which had been removed prior to the MDS assesement --the facility failed to ensure that Resident #57's admission MDS assessment accurately reflected she did not have a catheter These failures could place residents at risk of inaccurate care and decline in health. Resident # 6 Record review of Resident # 6's face sheet revealed admission date 3/19/25, with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a cerebral infarction (weakness or paralysis on one side of the body following a stroke), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung disease causing restricted airflow), chronic kidney disease (longstanding disease of kidneys leading to kidney failure), heart failure (inability of the heart to pump blood as it should), Bipolar disorder (episodes of mood swings from depressive lows to manic highs), absence of left leg above the knee. Record review of Resident # 6's MDS dated [DATE] revealed he was usually understood by others and usually understands others, BIMS of 08 indicating impaired cognitive skills, maximum assistance for ADLs, and 2 restraints, coded as other used daily. Record review of Resident # 6's undated care plan revealed resident uses ¼ bars to safely move in bed, with interventions to check every 2 hours for safety. Observation and interview with Resident # 6 on 5/27/25 at 9:30am revealed he was in bed and there were grab bars on each side of the bed. In interview, he said he used the grab bars to turn over and he demonstrated how he used the bars to assist in turning. Interview with the Corporate Regional Nurse and DON on 5/28/25 at 2:20pm revealed Resident # 6 had 2 grab bars on his bed to help him with repositioning and when provided care. The DON looked up (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 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Resident # 6's MDS dated [DATE] and said the coding for restraints on the MDS was incorrect, since the bed rails did not restrict his movement. Interview with MDS Coordinator A on 5/28/25 at 4pm revealed the MDS for Resident # 6 would be corrected and said the MDS assessment was a collaborative effort with input from staff, and MDS assessments are coded according to the RAI manual. He said the outcome of an incorrect MDS would be incorrect resident care. Resident # 30 Record review of Resident #30's face sheet revealed admission date 3/13/25, with diagnoses including Schizoaffective disorder, Bipolar type (manic episodes with periods depression and disorganized thinking), hypertension (high blood pressure), major depressive disorder (persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest that interfere with daily life), benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlargement of prostate), history of traumatic brain injury (brain injury caused by an outside source). Record review of Resident # 30's Significant Change MDS dated [DATE] revealed usually understood by others and usually understands others, BIMS 03, indicating impaired cognitive skills, maximum assistance required for ADLs, and indwelling catheter. Record review of progress note dated 3/14/25 revealed the catheter was observed lying in bed next to Resident # 30, and resident said, I pulled that tube out. A scant amount of blood was observed in his brief, and resident refused foley catheter reinsertion. Observation and interview with Resident # 30 on 5/27/25 revealed he was in bed, and no catheter drainage bag was observed at bedside. Interview at that time revealed he pulled the catheter out. In an interview on 5/28/25 at 1:15 pm, RN D said she was familiar with Resident # 30's care since she worked on his hall, and he did not have a catheter.

They said the MDS coordinator completed the MDS and staff provided input for their sections and they used the RAI manual for MDS guidance. They said the risk of having inaccurate information on the MDS would be incorrect care for the resident and it would affect billing. In an interview with MDS Coordinator A on 5/29/25 at 4:00 pm, he said the MDS for Resident # 30 would be corrected, and the MDS was a collaborative effort with input from staff. The RAI manual was referred to as a guide for MDS coding. He said an inaccurate MDS would affect resident care in that they would not get the care they needed.
