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
observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to provide assessments that accurately
reflect the resident's status for two of seventeen (Residents #3 and #74) residents reviewed for MDS
assessment accuracy. The facility failed to ensure: 1. Resident #3's quarterly MDS assessment did not
accurately reflect he had a Bi-Pap (Bi-level positive airway pressure) for helping his breathe. 2. Resident
#74's discharge MDS assessment did not accurately reflect death in the facility. This deficient could place
residents with MDS assessments at risk of missed or inappropriate care.The findings included:
Residents Affected - Few
1.Record review of Resident #3's face sheet, dated [DATE] reflected he was a [AGE] year-old male initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of hypothyroidism (the thyroid
gland does not make enough thyroid hormone), type 2 diabetes mellitus (a chronic metabolic disorder
characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels), heart failure (the heart muscle does not pump blood as
well as it should), atrial fibrillation (irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm), and chronic kidney
disease-stage 3 (gradual loss of kidney function).
Record review of Resident #3's quarterly MDS assessment with an ARD of [DATE] reflected his BIMS was
15 out of 15 which indicated he was cognitively intact. Resident #3 was substantial/maximal assistance
(Helper does MORE THAN HALF the effort, and Helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than
half the effort) for bed mobility and dependent (Helper does ALL of the effort. Resident does none of the
effort to complete the activity. Or the assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete
the activity) to toilet hygiene, and the MDS assessment was coded No to the question of Non-invasive
Mechanical Ventilation – Bi-Pap in the section O (Special Treatment, Procedure, and Program).
Record review of Resident #3's comprehensive care plan revised date [DATE] reflected Resident at risk for
impaired gas exchange related to be needed for requires Bi-PAP as evidence by ineffective breathing
pattern. For intervention, Bi-PAP as per medical doctor's order.
Record review of Resident #3's physician order, dated [DATE], revealed the resident had the order of
Bi-Pap machine on at hours of sleep: setting 8.0-18.0 with oxygen 2 liter per minutes at bedtime.
Observation on [DATE] at 2:32 p.m., revealed Resident #3 was on the bed, and his Bi-Pap tubing covered
in a plastic bag and machine on the nightstand at the bedside.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:32 p.m., Resident #3 stated he was using his Bi-Pap every day when he
was about to sleep at night since he was admitted to the facility.
During an interview on [DATE] at 9:47 a.m., LVNA said Resident #3 was using his Bi-Pap every night

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on [DATE] at 10:25 a.m., the MDS nurse stated Resident #3's quarterly MDS was
coded No to the question of Non-invasive Mechanical Ventilation – Bi-Pap in the section O (Special
Treatment, Procedure, and Program) because when the resident was readmitted to the facility on [DATE],
the resident's medical records did not reflect the resident's Bi-Pap. The MDS assessment should have been
coded Yes because the resident had been using the Bi-Pap since he was admitted to the facility. The MDS
nurse said she had responsibility for MDS accuracy, and there was no potential negative outcome because
Resident #3 was receiving cares related to his Bi-Pap.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:10 p.m., the DON stated the facility did not have policies regarding
accuracy of MDS assessment, but the facility was following RAI.
Record review of CMS's RAI version 3.0 Manual, dated 10/2024, revealed Code - yes: For Non-invasive
Mechanical Ventilator, code any type of CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and BiPAP (bi-level
positive airway pressure) respiratory support devices that prevent airway from closing by delivering slightly
pressurized air through a mask or other device continuously or via electronic cycling throughout the
breathing cycle.
2. Record review of Resident #74's face sheet, dated [DATE], revealed he was a [AGE] year-old male
originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] with active diagnoses of Unspecified severe protein-calorie
malnutrition, Dementia, and Depressive Disorder. Resident #74 was discharged on [DATE].
Record review of Resident #74's discharge MDS, dated [DATE], Section A, subsection A0310: Type of
Assessment, question F: identifies Death in Facility. Section A, subsection A2105: Discharge Status
indicated resident was discharge to Home/Community.
Interview with the MDS nurse on [DATE] at 11:40 AM, revealed Resident #74 was discharged on [DATE]
since he expired of natural causes in the facility. MDS nurse stated she was responsible for completion of
discharge MDS. The MDS nurse stated when she completed the discharge MDS for Resident #74 Point
Click Care automatically populated most of the information and she must have overlooked where Point
Click Care indicated resident was discharged to home/community. The MDS nurse stated the error would
have no impact on the residents. The MDS nurse stated the facility does not have a policy relating to MDS
completion because they followed CMS RAI Manual.
Interview with the DON on [DATE] at 11:47 AM, revealed Resident #74 passed away in the facility of natural
causes. The DON stated a discharge MDS was completed by the MDS nurse, and it was the responsibility
of the DON to ensure they were accurate. The DON stated the facility recently started using Point Click
Care and they was still getting used to the program. The DON stated most of the information was populated
in the discharge MDS and the error indicating resident was discharged to home/community was not
identified. The DON stated the error would have no impact on the residents. The DON stated the facility
does not have a policy relating to MDS completion because they followed CMS RAI Manual.

catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident who was incontinent of
bladder and bowel received appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections and to
restore continence to the extent possible for 2 (Resident #4 and #52) of 4 residents reviewed for
incontinence care. The facility failed to ensure while providing incontinent care: 1. CNAB did not clean the
right buttock area for Resident #4. 2. CNAC did not separating the labia and thoroughly clean the vaginal
area for Resident #52. This failure could place residents who required incontinence care at risk for cross
contamination and the development of urinary tract infections. The findings included: 1. Record review of
Resident #4's face sheet, dated 09/26/2025, revealed the resident was [AGE] years old male, originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE], and re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of severe
protein-calorie malnutrition (a nutrition status in which reduced availability of nutrients leads to changes in
body composition and function), pneumonia (infection in lungs caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi),
cerebral palsy (a group of conditions that affect movement and posture), and muscle weakness. Record
review of Resident #4's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 08/29/2025, revealed the resident's BIMS was 7
out of 15 which indicated the resident had severe cognitive impairment, and the resident was always
incontinent of bladder and bowel. Record review of Resident #4's comprehensive care plan, dated
07/07/2025, revealed the resident was always incontinence to bladder and bowel. For intervention - Provide
incontinent care after each incontinent episode. Observation on 09/25/2025 at 10:12 a.m., revealed CNAB
