F 0640 Encode each resident’s assessment data and transmit these data to the State within 7 days of assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure each Minimum Data Set (MDS) was electronically completed and transmitted to the CMS System within 14 days after completion for 1 of 16 residents (Resident #36) reviewed for MDS transmittal. Residents Affected - Few The facility did not ensure Resident # 36's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] was completed and successfully electronically transmitted and accepted as required as of 03/06/2024. This deficient practice could place residents at risk of not having their assessments transmitted and accepted in a timely manner and causing a delay in payments for the facility. The findings included: Record review of Resident #36's face sheet dated 03/06/24 indicated she was a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #36 had diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (a neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and progressively worsens), heart disease, anxiety (an unpleasant state of inner turmoil), and diabetes mellitus (a disease in which the body has trouble controlling blood sugars). Record review of Resident # 36's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #36 had a BIMS score of 5, which indicated severe cognitive impairment. Resident #36 was dependent on staff for assistance with ADLs. During an interview on 03/06/24 at 12:14 p.m. the MDS nurse said she was responsible for creating, completing, and transmitting all MDSs in the facility. The MDS nurse said that all MDS assessments were required to be transmitted to CMS in a timely manner. She said she when she completed the MDS for Resident #36 she accidentally checked the section not to transmit the assessment to CMS. The MDS nurse said that the MDS not being transmitted in a timely manner could cause a delay in payment. During an interview on 03/06/24 at 04:15 p.m. the DON said the MDS for Resident #36 should have been transmitted to CMS in a timely manner. She said the MDS nurse was responsible for ensuring the MDS's are submitted in a timely manner. The DON said the MDS nurse should have caught the error because MDSs are monitored in a meeting weekly by the MDS nurse and the corporate nurse, so it was just missed. The DON said the failure placed the resident at risk of loss of benefits and/or the facility to have had loss of payment. During an interview on 03/06/24 at 04:42 p.m. the Administrator said he expected the MDS assessments to have been completed and transmitted to CMS in a timely manner. He said the MDS nurse was responsible for ensuring the assessments were completed and transmitted on time. The Administrator said the failure could have caused a risk of Resident #36's information not being updated with CMS and payment issues for the facility. Review of the facility policy, MDS Completion and Submission Timeframes revised September 2010 indicated Our facility will conduct and submit resident assessments in accordance with current federal and state submission timeframes.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some During an interview on 03/05/24 at 8:48 a.m., Resident #9 said she remembered falling but could not remember what happened. 2. Record review of Resident #16's face sheet, dated 03/06/24, indicated she was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included anxiety (persistent and excessive worry that interferes with daily activities), sleep apnea (a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD, ( a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems), and pulmonary hypertension (a type of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart). Record review of Resident #16's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 02/02/24, indicated Resident #16 was understood and understood by others. The MDS assessment indicated she had a BIMS score of 15 indicating cognitively intact. The MDS indicated she took anticoagulant medication.

Record review of Resident #16's physician orders dated 01/26/24, indicated: Eliquis (Apixaban) 5MG, give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day related to secondary pulmonary hypertension. Record review of Resident #16's comprehensive care plan, dated 02/02/24, did not indicate any plan of care or interventions for the medication use of Eliquis. Record review of Resident #16's comprehensive care plan, dated 03/06/24 after surveyor intervention indicated: Resident #16 was on anticoagulant therapy of Eliquis (Apixaban) related to a disease process of pulmonary hypertension resulting in decreased mobility. The interventions were for staff to administer anticoagulant medications as ordered by the physician and monitor for side effects and effectiveness every shift. During an observation and interview on 03/06/24 at 9:00 a.m., the MDS nurse said she was responsible for the comprehensive care plans, but all the department heads do their acute care plans. The MDS nurse looked at Resident #9's care plan and said she did not see her fall or use of the Xanax on the care plan. She also looked at Resident #16's care plan and said she did not see the use of Eliquis care planned. The MDS nurse said the fall, diagnoses, and interventions should have been listed on Resident #9's care plan and the diagnoses, and interventions should have been listed on Resident #16's care plan. She said the omissions on both were an oversight. She said care plans were done to address concerns and for continuity of care so that the residents could have the best possible outcome for their care. During an interview on 03/06/24 at 2:58 p.m., the DON said the MDS nurse was responsible for completing the care plans. She said she was the overseer. The DON said she was not aware that Resident #16's medication use of Eliquis and Resident #9's fall on 02/24/24 or her medication use of Xanax was not care planned. She said care plans reflected residents' care and needs and should be complete and accurate to ensure the residents received the care they needed. During an interview on 03/06/24 at 3:38 p.m., the Administrator said all disciplinaries should work together to complete a resident's care plan. He said the DON was the overseer.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 3. Record review of Resident #43's face sheet indicated she was a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with the diagnoses cerebral palsy (a group of movement disorders that appear in early childhood), high blood pressure, dysphasia (difficulty swallowing), epilepsy (neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures), and a need for assistance with personal care. Record review of Resident #43's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated she had a BIMS score of 0 which indicated severely impaired cognition. The MDS also indicated she required total assistance with all ADL's and required a feeding tube for more than 51% of her calorie intake. Record review of Resident #43's order summary report dated 03/06/24 indicated she had orders as followed, after state surveyor intervention: 1.Change [NAME] button extension tubing every other week on Tuesday. Every 14 days dated 03/05/24 and a start date of 03/19/24. Record review of Resident #43's care plan dated 04/21/23 indicated resident required a feeding tube with no indication of the use of the [NAME] button to be used for feedings and to be changed out every 14 days. During an interview on 03/05/24 at 11:18 a.m. LVN D said the [NAME] extension bag should have been dated and the [NAME] extensions were required to be changed out every 14 days but without the date she could not say when it was changed out. LVN D said the charge nurses were responsible for changing the [NAME] button extensions out. She said the risk to the resident was infection. During an interview on 03/06/24 at 04:17 p.m. the DON said the [NAME] extension should have been changed every other week and it should have been added to the care plan. The charge nurse was responsible for ensuring there was an order in place for changing the [NAME] button extension out and the ADON should have followed up on the orders. The DON said the MDS nurse was responsible for ensuring the care plan included the [NAME] button along with the enteral feedings. The DON said the failure placed a risk for the extension and the bag not being changed properly. She said with the [NAME] extension not being on the care plan, the nurses would not know how to care for the [NAME] extension. She said the facility did not have a policy for the [NAME] extension in detail, but provided an enteral tube policy and the facility would update the care plan and policy to include the [NAME] extension. During an interview on 03/06/24 at 04:32 p.m. the Administrator said the extension should have been placed as a physician order as well as on the care plan. He said the charge nurse was responsible for ensuring the order was placed and the MDS nurse was responsible for the care plan being updated. The Administrator said the failure placed Resident #43 at risk for the nurse taking care of her not using the [NAME] extension or not using it correctly. Record review of the facility policy titled Care plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, dated March 2022 indicated a comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetable to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial, and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident. The interdisciplinary team (IDT) in conjunction with residents and his or her family develops and implements a comprehensive, person-centered care plan for each resident. The comprehensive, person-centered care plan is developed within seven days of the completion of the required MDS assessment no more than 21 days after admission.

The facility did not ensure the flooring on Hall 100 was even and free of cracked/broken floor tiles. 2. The facility failed to ensure 1 oxygen cylinder was secured in the oxygen storage area. These failures could place residents at risk for injury. Findings included: 1.During an observation on 03/04/24 at 1:00 p.m., the hallway on Hall 100 had cracked and uneven flooring approximately 3 feet across the floor (side to side). An observation included an ambulatory resident walking over the uneven area. During an observation and interview on 03/05/24 at 9:24 a.m., CNA F said the floor between hall 100 nurses' station and the dining room had been cracked/broken for an unknown amount of time. She said 1 broken spot just occurred about 2-3 weeks ago. She said it could be a trip hazard because she does have residents who walk. She said she was not aware of any falls. She said she could see and feel a hump underneath the floor and said it could be a hazard because it was uneven. She said the administration staff was aware but did not know if the facility had a plan to fix the floor. During an interview on 03/06/24 at 8:49 a.m., LVN D said the floor had been coming apart for an unknown time but was not aware of any falls. She said she could see the potential for falls because the floor was unleveled and had cracks. During an interview on 03/06/24 at 4:55 p.m., the Maintenance Supervisor said he was hired in October 2023. He said he had no set schedule to monitor or check flooring routinely. The Maintenance Supervisor said he had someone from their regional office who came yesterday (03/05/24) and looked at the floors. He said he had to get with the corporate office to approve major repairs to the flooring. He said it was important to ensure the flooring was in good repair for the safety of the residents. 2.During an observation on 03/06/24 at 10:05 a.m., the oxygen storage area outside had 1 oxygen cylinder free-standing without being stored in the oxygen holding rack.
