Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to implement written policies and procedures that
prohibit and prevent residents from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and misappropriation of resident property
for 3 (the Administrator, Dietary A, and Housekeeping #A) out of 19 employees reviewed for annual
EMR/NAR checks.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure EMR/NAR checks were completed annually for the Administrator, Dietary A,
and Housekeeping #A.
The facility failed to keep a copy of the results of the initial and annual searches of the NAR and EMR in the
employee's personnel file.
This failure could place residents at risk of abuse, neglect, and/or misappropriation of personal property.
Findings included:
In an interview on 10/12/23 at 09:53 AM, the HR Director said she was responsible for organizing the
employee's files and ensuring all the EMR/NAR checks were on the files. She said she completed
EMR/NAR when hiring or rehiring an employee. She said she did not know she had to complete the
EMR/NAR checks annually. She said she did not know the consequences of not checking the employee's
EMR/NAR annually.
In an interview on 10/12/23 at 10:01 AM, the Administrator said the HR Director was in charge of her
department. He said she was responsible for checking EMR/NAR for all employees. He said the HR
Director reports to her. He said he understood that not checking the EMR/NAR annually may cause the
facility to have an employee who is not eligible to work there. The Administrator said he would do more
research and provide the missing EMR/NAR checks.
In an interview on 10/12/23 at 11:43 AM, the HR Director said she was sorry she could not find any
EMR/NAR for the year 2022 for the Administrator, Dietary A, and Housekeeping #A. She provided
EMR/NAR checks for the Administrator, Dietary A, and Housekeeping #A dated 10/12/2023. Administrator,
Dietary A, and Housekeeping #A were eligible to continue employment.
In an interview on 10/12/23 at 01:09 PM, the Administrator said that he contacted corporate and was told
that the facility did not have an EMR/NAR check policy.
A review of the facility's employees' files revealed that 7 (the Administrator, Dietary A, and Housekeeping
#A) out of 19 employees did not have an annual EMR/NAR check.

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
interview and record review, the facility failed to coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening
and resident review program (PASARR) to the maximum extent practicable for 1 of 6 residents reviewed for
PASARR.
-Resident #39 had a diagnosis of mental illness and the facility did not coordinate with the appropriate,
State-designated authority.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving needed care and services, causing a possible
decline in mental health.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #39's face sheet, dated 10/11/23, revealed Resident #39 was a [AGE] year-old female,
re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] (original admission [DATE]), with the following diagnoses: Type 2
Diabetes Mellitus (impaired use of the body's blood sugar), bipolar disorder (a serious mental illness
characterized by extreme mood swings), major depressive disorder, recurrent (episodes of depression),
end stage renal disease on hemodialysis (loss of kidney function requiring kidney replacement therapy),
and cerebral infarction (lack of oxygen to brain causing a cluster of brain cells to die).
Review of Resident's 39's admission MDS assessment, dated 06/27/2023, revealed sections related to
PASSR including Section A-1500 and Section A- 1510 was left blank which reflected that Resident #39 was
not assessed for mental illness on her admission MDS. Section I- Active Diagnoses of the MDS, dated
[DATE], revealed resident with bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and anxiety disorder.
Review of Resident #39's PASARR Level I screening (PL1) dated 06/27/2023 revealed Resident #39
screened negative for Mental illness (MI) by the case manager of the acute care facility from which she
transferred.
Review of Resident #39's clinical records revealed there was no documented request to have Resident #39
further evaluated by local authorities for mental illness due to her diagnoses of bipolar disorder and major
depressive disorder.
Interview on 10/11/23 at 1:30 PM, LVN D and LVN M (MDS nurses) said that they shared the
responsibilities of completing resident assessments and PASRR. They said Resident #39's PASRR level 1
was marked NO for mental illness, and they did not seek further evaluation for the resident. Both MDS
nurses agreed that it was an oversight because they were aware major depressive disorder and bipolar
disorder were both qualifying mental illnesses which the resident had and is recorded in her MDS
assessment. They said the resident should have been re-evaluated. LVN M said failure to review PASRR
level 1 screenings for accuracy and failure to re-evaluate residents with qualifying diagnoses could result in
the resident potentially missing out on services.
Interview on 10/ 11/23 at 2:54 PM, the Administrator said that he expected all PASRR documentation to be
reviewed by the MDS nurses for accuracy. Failure to do so could result in a resident missing

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to store food in accordance with
professional standards for food service safety in 2 of 2 facility refrigerators and 1 of 1 dry food storage
areas reviewed for food procurement in that:
- The facility failed to label and date food items in the kitchen walk-in refrigerator and resident refrigerator
located in the medical records room.
- The facility failed to label and date all food items located in the dry food storage area.
These failures could affect residents who ate food from the facility kitchen and place them at risk of
foodborne illness.
Findings include:
Observed on 10/10/23 at 8:30 AM an unlabeled plastic gallon zip bag with cooked lima beans and corn and
an unlabeled bag of French Fries in walk-in-refrigerator.
Interview on 10/10/23 at 8:30 AM, the DM said the unlabeled and undated items in the walk-in refrigerator
were items leftover from the previous night. She said the night cook must have forgotten to label them. The
DM said that all food should be labeled with the name of the item and the date it was prepared or opened
before it was put away. She said it was important to label and date so they knew when to discard items that
could make residents sick. She said whoever was putting away the food should label it, but as the DM, it
was ultimately her responsibility to make sure it was done.
Observed on 10/10/23 at 8:35 AM an unlabeled plastic bag of shredded coconut in the dry storage area
with no date or label.
Interview on 10/10/23 at 8:35 AM, the DM repeated that all foods being stored should be labeled.
Interview on 10/10/23 at 2:54 PM, the Administrator said his expectation is that all food being put away for
storage should be labeled and dated to ensure it is safe and discarded as appropriate. Failure to do so
could possibly make residents sick. The DM is responsible for making sure food stored in the kitchen is
labeled and dated properly.
Observed on 10/12/23 at 11:45 AM the unit refrigerator contained unlabeled food items with no discard
dates. These items included a half of a meat and cheese sandwich wrapped in plastic wrap, a cut lemon in
a biohazard bag, cheese and wrapped food item in a plastic container with a resident's initials. The freezer
unit above the refrigerator contained a grocery bag with plastic containers. The contents of the plastic
containers spilled out, and there was a brown liquid frozen in and around the plastic bag.
Interview on 10/12/23 at 11:45 AM, LVN E said no particular person was responsible for clearing out the
unit fridge, maybe housekeeping. She said that food placed into the refrigerator should have the resident's
name and discard date to prevent giving residents old food that could make them sick.
Interview on 10/12/23 at 11:47 AM, the HKS said that nursing was responsible for the unit

Interview on 10/12/23 at 11:50 AM, the DON said she stocked the unit fridge with supplements daily and
did not see those items in the fridge. She said the food should be labeled and dated when placing in the
refrigerator to know whether it is safe or needs to be discarded.

Interview on 10/12/23 at 3:00 PM, the Administrator said all food stored in any refrigerator for resident
consumption should be labeled and dated. He said the unit refrigerator did not have an assigned designee
