F 0565 Honor the resident's right to organize and participate in resident/family groups in the facility. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to consider the views of a resident or family group and act promptly upon the grievances and recommendations of such groups concerning issues of resident care and life and failed to demonstrate their response and rationale for such response for 3 of 3 confidential resident council meetings reviewed (04/18/25, 05/13/25, and 06/10/25) for grievances. The facility failed to ensure there was documentation of the facility's efforts to resolve concerns collected at the resident council meetings on 04/18/25, 05/13/25, and 06/10/25. This failure could place residents at risk of not having their concerns and grievances followed through, and a diminished quality of life. Findings included: Record review of the Resident Advisory Council Minutes for 04/18/25 indicated the call lights were not being answered timely and were worse over the weekend, the residents were not receiving scheduled showers, and they had no towels for bathing, and the residents' beds were not being made timely, and they did not have clean sheets. Record review of the Resident Advisory Council Minutes for 05/13/25 indicated the call lights were not being answered timely, the residents were not always receiving scheduled showers, and the residents' beds were not being made timely. Record review of the Resident Advisory Council Minutes for 06/10/25 indicated the call lights were not being answered timely, the residents were not always receiving scheduled showers, and the residents' beds were not being made timely. Record review of the grievances from April 2025 to June 2025 revealed they did not indicate grievances to address the resident councils' concerns. During a confidential group interview with 9 residents on 06/30/25 starting at 10:08 a.m., the resident group said the facility was shorthanded, people were not getting showers, people's beds were not being made on shower days, people were not getting changed promptly, and call lights were not answered timely. The resident group said that every meeting, they discussed the call lights not being answered timely. The resident group said they had invited some of the department heads, including the DON, to the meetings, and they were aware of the call lights not being answered in a timely manner, showers not being given, and beds not being changed timely. The resident group said they were told they would look into it, or we would investigate it. The resident group said they did not get back with them on a resolution and had not given them an explanation as to why the call lights were not being answered timely as that was their greatest concern. During an interview on 07/01/25 at 5:39 p.m., the Activities Director said, after the resident council meeting, she made three copies of the results of the meeting with the residents' concerns and gave one to the DON, one to the Administrator, and one for the resident council meeting book. The Activities Director said every month, the residents complained about the call lights not being answered, and the Administrator and DON had been told about it. She said she was not aware of what to do about the resident concerns since it had been voiced so many times in the resident council meeting, so she invited the DON to the resident council meeting. She said the residents told the DON about the call lights, showers, and beds not being made in the resident council on 06/10/25. The Activities Director said the DON said she would handle Residents Affected - Some (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.

The Activities Director said she did not know how to file a grievance. The Activities Director said it was important for the residents' concerns/complaints to be addressed so they felt safe and were taken care of. During an interview on 07/01/25 at 5:38 p.m., the Social Worker said he was responsible for the grievances. The Social Worker said he received the minutes from the resident council, but never really looked at them as far as a grievance. He said he was not aware he needed to fill out the grievance forms from the resident council minutes. He said the Activity Director was supposed to fill out the grievance form and give it to him, and then he would put it into their computer software system. He said they would discuss any grievance in the morning meeting, come up with a resolution (by talking to the resident or investigating the situation), and mark the grievance as completed. The Social Worker said it was important for grievances to be filed so they could be documented and to ensure they were managed appropriately, so it would not happen again. During an interview on 07/02/25 at 10:50 a.m., NA P said the residents complained about their call lights not being answered promptly or not receiving their assigned showers. She said they had a challenging time answering lights and giving showers due to the staffing shortage. She said management was aware of the call lights and showers concerns. During an interview on 07/02/25 at 3:20 p.m., the DON said the Social Worker was responsible for the grievances. She said the Activity Director had given her the resident council minutes, but she had not read thoroughly through them. She said she had been invited to the resident council meeting this month (June 2025) but did not remember anything specific from the meeting about call lights, showers, or beds not being made. She said she had never filled out a grievance form since starting as the DON. She said any concerns voiced at the resident council meeting should have been filed as a grievance. During an interview on 07/02/25 at 3:48 p.m., the Administrator said the Social Worker was responsible for the grievances. She said grievances were talked about in the morning meetings and given to each department head responsible for investigating. She said that after the department head investigated and reached a solution, they resolved the grievance. She said she received the resident council minutes after each meeting from the Activity Director but had not thoroughly reviewed them all. She said she was not aware that a grievance had not been filed from the resident council meetings by the Social Worker. She said if she received a grievance, she would input it into their software system. She said, but she was guilty of sometimes doing verbal communication with issues that were brought to her. She said she now realized the importance of ensuring a grievance had been filed and documented to prove the issues had been investigated and resolved. The Administrator said the resident councils' concerns not being addressed could affect their care, and she expected the residents' needs to be responded to promptly, and if the staff were not answering the call lights, they would not be aware of the residents' needs. Record review of the facility's policy titled, Grievance, revised 11/02/16, indicated, The resident has the right to voice grievances to the facility or other agency that hears grievances without discrimination or reprisal and without fear of discrimination. Such grievances include those with respect to care and treatment which have been furnished or have not been furnished, concerns regarding their long-term care facility stay. The resident has the right to, and the facility must make prompt efforts by the facility to resolve grievance the resident may have. #2 The grievance officer of this facility is the administrator or their designee, the grievance official will oversee the grievance process, receive and track grievances to their conclusion, lead any necessary investigations by the facility, maintain the confidentiality of all information associated with the grievance, issue written grievance decision to the resident, and coordinate with state and federal agency as necessary. #8 Maintain evidence demonstrating the results of all grievances for no less than three years from the issue of the grievance decision.

The facility failed to ensure the provider investigation report was turned into the state survey agency (HHSC) within 5 working days of the reported incident for Resident #1 This failure could place residents at risk for abuse and neglect. Findings Included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 06/30/25, indicated he was a [AGE] year-old male, initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and most recently re-admitted on [DATE]. His diagnoses included heart failure (a condition where the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs), brief psychotic disorder (mental health condition characterized by the sudden onset of psychotic symptoms, such as delusions, hallucinations, or disorganized speech, that last for at least one day but less than one month, with a full return to the person's previous level of functioning), and major depressive disorder (a serious mental illness characterized by persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, and other symptoms that significantly interfere with daily life). Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 04/09/25, indicated he had a BIMS score of 15, which indicated intact cognition. Record review of the facility's provider investigation report for the reported incident for Resident #1, dated 03/15/25, indicated Resident #1 reported that the PASRR representative that took Resident #1 to the store had placed an item on the check out belt and Resident #1 paid for it. The facility notified the local health authority that the representative that he would no longer be allowed in the facility. There were no witnesses to the incident. Ultimately the facility's investigation concluded that the allegation was unconfirmed. The allegation was reported to the state survey agency on 03/11/25. Record review of the TULIP website, accessed on 07/02/25 at 7:58AM, indicated on the page for intake #570206 that a 5-day report or provider investigation report had not been turned into the state survey agency. During an interview on 06/30/25 at 3:00PM, the Area Director of Operations for the facility said they were unable to reach the previous administrator that was responsible for turning in the 5-day report for this intake. She said they were unable to provide proof that the provider investigation report was turned into the state survey agency. On 07/01/25 at 4:25PM, the surveyor attempted to call the phone number that was provided by the facility for the previous administrator. The number was disconnected and no longer in service.

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 interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure assessments accurately reflected the resident status for 1 of 24 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for MDS assessment accuracy. The facility incorrectly coded Resident #1's discharge MDS assessment dated [DATE] as return not anticipated instead of return anticipated. This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving care and services to meet their needs.Findings included:Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, reflected Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old male, readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included chronic combined heart failure (the heart has a long-term problem with effectively pumping blood, affecting both its ability to contract and relax). Record review of Resident #1's discharge MDS assessment, dated 04/14/25, reflected discharge assessment-return not anticipated. Record review of an admission progress note dated 04/16/25 completed by RN A reflected Resident #1 was readmitted to the facility from the hospital. During an interview on 07/01/25 at 9:10 a.m., the MDS Coordinator stated she was responsible for Resident #1's discharge MDS assessment. The MDS Coordinator stated if a discharge assessment-return not anticipated was completed that reflected the resident was discharged home or to another facility. After reviewing Resident #1's electronic medical records, the MDS Coordinator stated a discharge assessment-return anticipated should have been completed because the return from the hospital on [DATE]. The MDS Coordinator stated a new admission assessment did not have to be done because the MD assessments schedule continued from Resident #1 last MDS assessment. The MDS Coordinator stated she should have modified the assessment to reflect return anticipated. The MDS Coordinator stated it was important to ensure the correct assessment was completed for accuracy. During a telephone interview on 07/0/25 at 9:59 a.m., the Regional Reimbursement Nurse stated the MDS Coordinator should have completed discharge assessment-return anticipated. The Regional Reimbursement Nurse stated the MDS Coordinator should have notified the support line to let them know that she did an incorrect assessment, and they would have reviewed it and gave her the ok to modify. The Regional Reimbursement Nurse stated a new admission assessment did not have to be completed because the resident was not out for more than 30 days. The Regional Reimbursement Nurse stated it was important to ensure the correct assessment was completed for continuity of care. During an interview on 07/02/25 at 2:14 p.m., the Administrator stated she expected the MDS Coordinator to complete the correct assessment when a resident return from a hospital. The Administrator stated it was important the correct assessment was completed to ensure when the resident returned, they would receive the proper plan of care. During an interview on 07/01/25 at 4:39 p.m., the Regional Compliance Nurse stated there was no policy and procedures regarding MDS assessment accuracy. The Regional Compliance Nurse stated the facility followed the RAI manual. Record review of the Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual, last revised October 2023, reflected.

F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 PASARR program to the maximum extent practicable to avoid duplicative testing and effort for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #32) reviewed for PASARR. The facility failed to ensure a Form 1012 Mental Illness/Dementia Resident Review was completed for Resident #32 after he was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] to determine if he required further evaluation due to his mental illnesses. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving specialized services which would enhance their highest level of functioning and could contribute to residents decline in physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.Findings included: Record review of a face sheet dated 07/02/2025 indicated Resident #32 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included dementia (loss of memory, language, problem solving and other thinking abilities that were severe enough to interfere with daily life), major depressive disorder recurrent (a serious mood disorder involving one or more episodes of intense psychological depression or loss of interest or pleasure that lasts two or more weeks), and schizoaffective disorder (mood disorder that can include depression, delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thoughts, speech and behavior). Record review of Resident #32's Comprehensive MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated he was not considered by the state level II PASRR process to have serious mental illness and/or intellectual disability or a related condition. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #32 was usually understood by others and usually understood others. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #32 had a BIMS score of 10, which indicated his cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #32 had depression, anxiety disorder, and schizophrenia (for example schizoaffective and schizophreniform disorders). The MDS assessment indicated Resident #32 received antipsychotic, antianxiety, and antidepressant medications. Record review of Resident #32's PASRR Level 1 Screening date of screening 10/22/2024, indicated there was evidence that dementia was the primary diagnosis. The PASRR Level 1 Screening indicated there was no evidence or indicator that Resident #32 had a mental illness. Record review of Resident #32's Order Summary Report dated 07/02/2025 indicated he had the following orders: Depakote (medication used to stabilize mood) 250 mg give 1 tablet by mouth three times a day related to schizoaffective disorder with a start date of 10/24/2024. Fluoxetine (medication used to treat depression) 20 mg 1 capsule one time a day for depression with a start date of 10/24/2024. Fluoxetine 40 mg 1 capsule one time a day for depression with a start date of 10/24/2024. Risperidone (medication used to treat mood disorders) 1 mg give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for anxiety related to schizoaffective disorder with a start date of 10/24/2024. Record review of Resident #32's care plan last reviewed 05/08/2025 indicated he required medications for depression and schizoaffective disorder to administer medications as ordered and monitor/record occurrence of target behavior symptoms. Record review of Resident #32's electronic health record on 07/02/2025 did not indicate a PASRR Evaluation or Form 1012 had been completed. During an interview on 07/02/2025 at 11:55 AM, the MDS Coordinator said she was responsible for the PASRR Level 1 screenings and coordinating PASRR services. The MDS Coordinator said when a resident had a primary diagnosis of dementia, they were unable to indicate on the PASRR Level 1 Screening that the resident had mental illness. The MDS Coordinator said if the resident had a primary diagnosis of dementia, like Resident #32 did, they did not qualify for PASRR services. During an interview on 07/02/2025 at 12:02 PM, the PASRR Manager said if a resident had a primary diagnosis of dementia, they were unable to put yes on the mental illness option on the PASRR Level 1 Screening.

The PASRR Manager said the Form 1012 was the facility's justification to show that the resident had a primary diagnosis of dementia. During an interview on 07/02/2025 at 12:12 PM, the MDS Coordinator said she did not know what Form 1012 was that she had not been provided information regarding it. The MDS Coordinator said it was important to ensure the PASRR process was completed properly so the residents who qualified for services received what they needed. During an interview on 07/02/2025 at 2:14 PM, the Regional Reimbursement Nurse said the MDS Coordinator was responsible for PASRR in the facility. The Regional Reimbursement Nurse said she monitored the MDS Coordinator by reviewing the residents' diagnoses and psychiatric notes for new admissions to ensure the PASRR process was being followed. The Regional Reimbursement Nurse said on the PASRR Level 1 Screening when they indicated the resident had a primary diagnosis of dementia, they were unable to indicate the mental illness. The Regional Reimbursement Nurse said Resident #32 did not require a Form 1012. The Regional Reimbursement Nurse said a Form 1012 was only required when it was not clear a resident's primary diagnosis was dementia. The Regional Reimbursement Nurse said it was important for the PASRR process to be followed so if there was mental illness the residents received the services they required. During an interview on 07/02/2025 at 3:29 PM, the Administrator said the MDS Coordinator was responsible for the PASRR process. The Administrator said she expected for the proper PASRR forms to be completed. The Administrator said this was important for the residents to get the programs that were required. Record review of the facility's policy titled, PASRR Nursing Facility Specialized Services Policy and Procedure, revised 03/06/2019, did not address the PASRR Level 1 or completion of Form 1012. Record review of the instructions for the Texas Health and Human Services Form 1012 Mental Illness/Dementia Resident Review indicated, Form 1012 assists nursing facilities (NF) in determining whether a resident with a negative Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Level I (PL1) Screening form submitted into the Long-Term Care (LTC) Portal, needs further evaluation for Mental Illness (MI). This form is used to determine whether the individual has a primary dementia diagnosis or if the individual has a mental illness diagnosis. This form also serves as the NF's documentation for the individual's medical record as to why further evaluation was or was not completed.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, which includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental needs, for 1 of 4 (Resident #44) residents reviewed. The facility failed to care plan Resident #44's oxygen (which is vital for the human body as it is used by cells to produce energy) therapy. This failure could affect residents by placing them at risk of not receiving appropriate interventions to meet their current needs. The findings included: Record review of Resident #44's face sheet, dated 07/02/25, revealed an [AGE] year-old female who was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include other nonspecific abnormal finding of lung field ( when an abnormality is detected on diagnostic imaging of the lung, but the specific cause or nature of the abnormality is not yet determined), Neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder(occur when the nerves controlling the bladder are damaged or don't function properly, leading to issues with storage and/or emptying of urine), stroke and diabetes (high blood sugars). Record review of Resident #44's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 04/22/25, indicated Resident #44 usually understood others and was usually understood by others. Resident #44's BIMS score was 08, which indicated her cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #44 used oxygen. Record review of Resident #44's care plan, revised date of 04/22/25, did not indicate she had an oxygen care plan. Record review of Resident #44 ‘s physician orders dated 01/06/24 indicated to use oxygen at 2-3 liters per minute via nasal canula every shift for hypoxia (lack of oxygen). During an observation on 06/29/25 at 1:00 p.m., Resident #44 had an oxygen sign outside her door. Resident #44 had oxygen in her room, but it was not on. During an observation and attempted interview on 06/30/25 at 8:33 a.m., Resident #44 was in her bed without any oxygen on. Resident #44 did not answer when asked if she wore oxygen. During an observation and interview on 07/02/25 at 9:33 a.m., the MDS Coordinator looked at Resident 44's care plan and said she did not see the care plan for her oxygen. The MDS Coordinator said she and the IDT worked together to do the care plans, but she was responsible for ensuring the care plans were done. She said it was important to care plan the residents' care so they would receive quality care. During an interview on 07/02/25 at 3:20 p.m., the DON said the MDS Coordinator was responsible for completing the care plans. She said each IDT member was responsible for the acute care plans (IE, the treatment nurse updated wounds, dietary manager updated nutrition, etc.). The DON said she was unaware that Resident #44's oxygen-use was not care planned. She said if Resident #44 had a routine order for oxygen, then she should be wearing her oxygen, and it should be care planned. She said the care plan was generated to guide staff and others in the care the resident should receive. During an interview on 07/02/25 at 3:48 p.m., the Administrator said all disciplines should work together to complete a resident's care plan, but the MDS Coordinator was the overseer. She said care plans were generated to provide each resident with proper care based on their needs and diagnosis. Record review of the facility's policy titled, Comprehensive Care planning, dated 03/2018, indicated Policy Statement: the facility will develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident's right that includes measurable objective and time frame to meet a residents medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment. The comprehensive care plan will describe the following: the services that are to be furnished to obtain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being and the right to refuse treatment.
