The facility failed to refer Resident #9 for PASRR level II assessment, to the state-designated authority, upon receipt of a psychosis (symptoms that happen when a person is disconnected from reality) diagnosis. This failure could place residents who had a mental illness at risk of not receiving a needed assessment (PASRR Evaluation), individualized care, or specialized services to meet their needs.Findings included: Record review of Resident #9's face sheet, dated 12/09/25, reflected he was a [AGE] year-old male, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included unspecified psychosis. Dementia was not on his diagnosis list, and it was not designated as primary. The psychosis diagnosis was dated 11/06/24. Record review of Resident #9's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 11/21/25, reflected he had a BIMS score of 00, which indicated severe cognitive impairment. He was usually able to make himself understood and he was able to usually understand others. He had unclear speech. He received an antipsychotic and an antianxiety medication routinely. Record review of Resident #4's PASRR Level 1 Screening, dated 10/18/24, reflected that in Section C, Mental Illness was marked as no, which indicated Resident #9 did not have a mental illness. During an interview on 12/10/2025 at 12:24 PM, the MDS coordinator said she did not think Resident #9's PL1 should be positive because sometimes they do not have all of the diagnoses when they first receive the PL1 from the admitting facility. She said if the resident received the diagnosis of psychosis after he admitted , then she may have submitted a 1012 form and sent it to the Local authority. She said if she had submitted a positive PL1 form or a 1012 then the local authority would have come out and evaluated the resident. During an interview on 12/10/2025 at 12:43 PM, the ADON said she does not deal with PASRR. She said she does not review the PASRR forms. During an interview on 12/10/2025 at 12:51 PM, the Administrator said he was not aware Resident #9 had a diagnosis of psychosis. He said the PL1 form should have been marked as yes for mental illness or a 1012 form should have been completed. He said it was possible that the resident may have received PASRR services if evaluated by the Local authority. During an interview on 12/10/2025 at 1:05PM, the MDS Coordinator said a yes should have been marked on the PL1 form or a 1012 form should have been completed for Resident #9. She said she spoke with her corporate PASRR person, and they thought that a 1012 form or positive PL1 should have been completed. During an interview on 12/10/2025 at 1:15 PM, the RNC/Acting DON said his expectation would be for Resident #9 to have a positive PL1 form or a 1012 form. He said the risk was that Resident #9 may not be receiving services he could be getting. Record review of the facility's policy, PASRR, dated 07/29/25, reflected: .2. Screening Process:a). Level I Screening: This initial screening determines if the individual may have a mental illness or intellectual disability.5.

She said since the DON was not here, she was not sure who was responsible, but she would find out. She said the risk of not posting nurse staffing was that no one would know how many staff were in the building or if they were adequately staffed. During an interview on 12/09/2025 at 10:57 AM, the ADON said no one was responsible for posting the staffing after the DON left on 10/5/25. She said someone should have been assigned but no one was. She said she just talked to the ADM and now she was assigned to post nurse staffing daily. She showed the surveyor the posted staffing sheet for today, (12/9/25.) During an interview on 12/9/25 at 2:14 PM, the BOM said she could not see the nurse staffing information because it was behind a Christmas tree on a table. She looked from different angles in the lobby and said she still could not see it. During an interview and observation on 12/9/25 at 2:16 PM, the ADON said she could not see the nurse staffing information on the table in the lobby because a Christmas tree was in front of it. The ADON moved the nurse staffing information in front of the Christmas tree. During an interview on 12/9/25 at 2:19 PM, the acting DON said the nurse staffing posting should be updated daily and should be visible, where everyone could see it. He said the risk of not posting nurse staffing information was that no one would be aware of how many staff were in the facility. During an interview on 12/10/2025 at 9:07 AM, the ADM said staffing should be updated daily and posted in an easily visible location. He said the risk of not having staffing posted was staff, visitors, and residents would not know how many staff were in the facility. During an interview on 12/10/25 at 1:15 PM, the ADM said the prior DON was responsible for the nurse staffing posting. He said since she left on 10/5/25 no one was responsible for making sure it was done. The ADM said yesterday (12/9/25) he and the ADON were responsible for posting the staffing daily. He said prior to yesterday, the last staffing post was 10/3/25. He said the daily nurse staffing posting should be updated daily and clearly visible/not blocked by anything, so everyone could see it.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review , the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services, including the accurate acquiring, administering, and receipt of all drugs and biologicals, to meet the needs of 1 of 18 residents (Resident #31) reviewed for pharmacy services. The facility failed to ensure that 1 tablet of Resident #31's prescribed Hydrocodone (opiate pain medication) was properly accounted for and not missing on 12/10/25. This failure could place residents at risk for decreased quality of life, unrelieved pain, and dignity.Findings included: Record Review of Resident #31's undated face sheet indicated she was an [AGE] year-old female that admitted [DATE], with diagnoses that included: Cerebral infarction (a stroke, when a blood clot blocks an artery in the brain), chronic atrial fibrillation (the upper chambers of the heart beat chaotically and rapidly leading to an irregular and often fast heartbeat), Myelodyplastic Syndrome (a group of blood cancers where the bone marrow stem fail to produce enough healthy, mature blood cells leading to fatigue, anemia, infections, and bleeding), and pain. Record review of the quarterly MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #31 had a BIMS score of 15 indicating she was cognitively intact. The MDS indicated she had received PRN pain medications, had occasional pain, and received an opioid medication. Record review of the care plan dated 11/11/25 indicated Resident #31 had complaints of generalized pain and prescribed pain medications should be administered per her physician's orders. Record review of Resident #31's physician's orders dated 12/10/25 reflected the following: 12/8/25 Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen Oral tablet 5-325 mg, give 1 tablet by mouth every 4 hours as needed for pain. During an observation and interview of Nurse Cart A/B with LVN A on 12/10/25 at 9:28 AM this surveyor looked at the medication card for Resident #31's Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen Oral tablet 5-325 mg. There were 27 pills left in the punch card, however LVN A said the narcotic count sheet indicated there were 28 pills left in the punch card. LVN A said that was not correct. LVN A said she had not given Resident #31 any of those pills this morning or anytime today on her shift. During an interview on 12/10/25 at 9:33 AM, LVN A said she did not count the narcotics or reconcile the narcotics with LVN B when she took over the medication cart at approximately 6:30 AM this morning. She said she did not know why she did not reconcile/or count the narcotics. During an interview and record review on 12/10/25 at 9:34 AM, the ADON double checked the narcotic sheet for Resident #31's Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen Oral tablet 5-325 mg. The narcotic sheet indicated 28 pills should be in Resident #31's medication card. The ADON said there were only 27 pills left in the medication card for Resident #31. She said it appeared someone did not sign off the last pill given. The ADON said according to the narcotic sheet the last hydrocodone pill given to Resident #31 was on 12/9/25 at approximately 2:15 PM. The ADON said Resident #31 usually got 2-3 of those pills per day. The ADON and this surveyor looked at the MAR for Resident #31's hydrocodone and it indicated for the month of December she had not had any of the medication. The ADON said it appeared no medication was given in December 2025, and she did not know why the MAR would show that because she knew Resident #31 had several of those pills daily for pain. During an interview on 12/10/25 at 9:45 AM, This surveyor went into Resident #31's room. She was sitting in her recliner. Resident #31 denied any pain. She said LVN B had given her a pain pill last night. During a telephone interview on 12/10/25 at 9:52 AM, LVN B said she had given Resident #31 her Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen but forgot to document it. She said she had a new admit and was very busy. LVN B said she should have documented it but did not. During an interview on 12/10/25 at 10:16 AM LVN A said she came on shift this morning at 6:30 AM, but her shift was supposed to start at 6:00 AM.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few ask LVN B. She said LVN B told her the narcotic count was correct. LVN A said the narcotic count was not correct. She said she and LVN B were supposed to count all narcotics before she took over the cart. She said she was taught to do that. She said she and LVN B did not count the narcotics this morning because she was running late. She said the risk of not counting the cart was that she could be accused of taking/stealing medication, or lose her license. She said she did not take or steal that (hydrocodone) pill and she would not have taken any medication. She said Resident #31 takes pain medication at night. She said she was confident LVN B gave that pill to Resident #31 because she had a lot of pain and LVN B would have given it. She said when she and LVN B have reconciled a cart in the past, they had never had a problem with the count. LVN A said she had always counted her narcotics before taking over a medication cart or giving another staff a medication cart until today. She said she had not given Resident #31 any of her hydrocodone this morning since she arrived on shift. She said she could not document Resident #31's PRN hydrocodone in the MAR in PCC because PCC would not let her, it would not populate on the MAR. During an interview on 12/10/25 at 10:31 AM, the ADON said the PRN hydrocodone (MAR) for Resident #31 was put in PCC wrong. She said it was put in Medication Aide MAR instead of the Nurse MAR where it belonged. That was why the nurses could not document in PCC that they had given it because it would not populate. She said they were currently in the process of changing to PCC from another computer program and had moved over 1000 orders. She said it was a mistake and was put in the wrong place. The ADON said no one told her there was a problem documenting the PRN hydrocodone for Resident #31, so she did not know about it until today. During an interview on 12/10/25 at 10:40 AM, LVN A said she had tried to document on the MAR when she had given the hydrocodone to Resident #31 but PCC would not allow it to populate on the MAR. She said she should have told the ADON but she did not. She said she should have made a progress note when she had given the medication since she was not able to document it on the MAR. She said she always signed the narcotic sheet when she got out a medication. LVN A said she should have told the ADON it would not populate on the MAR in PCC, but she did not. She said she may have gotten busy and forgotten but should have addressed it immediately. She had some education on PCC but needed more. She said she got more education today after this surveyor finding the count was wrong on Resident #31's PRN hydrocodone. All her other PRN medications had been documented in PCC, but this one was on the wrong MAR. The ADON fixed it and showed her in PCC that it had been fixed and now she could document giving the PRN hydrocodone to Resident #31 on the MAR. During an interview on 12/10/25 at 11:09 AM, LVN B said she gave Resident #31 her PRN hydrocodone 5/325 mg about 5:50 AM, last night right before shift change. LVN B said she walked by Resident #31's room and Resident #31 said her right shoulder was hurting 7 out of 10, (the pain scale is 0 - 10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worse pain imaginable), so she gave her a PRN hydrocodone. She said she took full responsibility for not documenting that and she should have documented it. She said she was very busy for her shift but that was no excuse for not documenting what she should have. She said she could not document giving the PRN medication on the MAR in PCC because it would not populate. She said Resident #31's hydrocodone was the only medication that she gave that would not populate on the MAR in PCC. She said she did not tell anyone that she could not document it in PCC, but she should have because she could have been accused of a diversion and did not want to ever overmedicate a resident. LVN B said normally she would document giving the medication on the narcotic sheet and in PCC, but she could not document it in PCC because PCC did not allow her to. She said she and LVN A did not reconcile/count the medication/narcotics when she gave the medication cart to LVN A this morning. She said LVN A was running late, there was a lot going on and they just did not do it. She said there was no excuse, and she apologized.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete this was the first and only time they had not reconciled the medications, and it was a stupid mistake. She said did not take, swallow, or steal that pill. She had given it to Resident #31. During an interview and record review on 12/10/25 at 11:18 AM, the ADON said she could not print out the incorrect MAR from earlier this morning that indicated no PRN hydrocodone had been given to Resident #31 in December 2025 because she already changed it to make it correct, but showed this surveyor an Order Audit Report that indicated she made the change and fixed the problem getting Resident #31's PRN hydrocodone on the correct MAR with a date of 12/10/25 at 10:29 AM. During an interview on 12/10/25 at 12:29 AM, the ADON said it was the expectation that the nurses reconcile the narcotic medication count at the beginning and end of each shift change. The reason was to prevent medication errors. She said LVN A and LVN B were in the wrong because they did not do that. She said both had been given a disciplinary write up for not following policy. She believes Resident #31 received her pain pill because Resident #31 told her she did. She said Resident #31 told her this morning about 10:00 AM that she had no pain and that LVN B had given her a pain pill. No one told her there was an issue with documenting Resident #31's PRN hydrocodone in PCC. She found out today. The ADON said when she checked to see what the problem was, she realized that particular medication (Hydrocodone) was a PRN medication on the wrong MAR sheet and was not showing up on the Nurse MAR sheet so they could not check off/document that they given it. She said she fixed it this morning at 10:29 AM and educated the nurses on PCC documentation. The risk of not documenting that medication was given on the narcotic sheet or in PCC was the resident could fail to have pain control, there could be a drug diversion, or the resident could get an extra pain pill. During an interview on 12/10/25 at 12:42 PM, the acting DON said nurses should always reconcile their medication carts at shift change and all narcotics should be counted. He said all medications given should be documented so staff know what has been given to the resident. He said the risk of not reconciling/counting narcotics on a medication cart could be a drug diversion, a missed or double dose of medication to a resident, and/or not knowing when a resident got their medication. During an interview on 12/10/25 at 12:45 PM, the ADM said LVN B should have documented the PRN hydrocodone immediately on the narcotic sheet when she gave it to Resident #31. He said if LVN A and LVN B had reconciled the cart like they were supposed to they would have realized LVN B did not document she gave Resident #31 the medication. He said when the nurses realized they could not document the medication in the MAR in PCC they should have reported it so that it could have been fixed. He said the risk of not documenting medications given to a resident was that they could get more than they should. Record review of a Controlled Substances policy with a revised date of November 2022 indicated: .Dispensing and Reconciling Controlled Substances1.Controlled substance inventory is monitored and reconciled to identify loss or potential diversion in a manner that minimizes the time between loss/diversion and detection/follow-up. 2.The system of reconciling the receipt, dispensing and disposition of controlled substances includes the following:a.Records of personnel access and usage;b.Medication administration records;c.Declining inventory records; andd.Destruction, waste and return to pharmacy records.3.Nursing staff count controlled medication inventory at the end of each shift, using these records to reconcile the inventory count.4.The nurse coming on duty and the nurse going off duty make the count together and document and dreport any discrepancies to the director of nursing services.
