This survey cited 9 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0583 Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents' right to privacy for 2 (Resident #33 and Resident #70) of 19 residents reviewed for privacy. Residents Affected - Few 1) The facility failed to ensure a printed sheet of paper containing Resident #70's laboratory values was secured and out of view from the public at 4:17 PM on 08/15/2024. 2) The facility failed to ensure RN A locked the computer screen that displayed Resident #33's personal medical information while RN A was away from the computer administering medication to Resident #33 at 8:13 AM on 8/16/2024. These failures could allow residents' protected HIPAA information to be shared with individuals who do not have a need or right to know which could place residents at a risk of loss of dignity due to lack of privacy. The findings included: Record review of Resident #70's face sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old male with an initial admission date of 04/15/2024 and a current admission date of 06/03/2024. Pertinent diagnoses included Acute Kidney Failure, Paraplegia (paralysis of the legs and lower body), and Type 2 Diabetes (chronic metabolic disease in which the body does not produce enough insulin). Record review of Resident #70's quarterly MDS assessment section C, cognitive patterns, dated 07/20/2024 reflected a BIMS score of 10 (moderate impairment). Record review of Resident #33's face sheet reflected an [AGE] year-old female with an initial admission date of 10/28/2023 and a current admission date of 11/01/2023. Pertinent diagnoses included End Stage Renal Disease (kidneys permanently stop functioning and require dialysis or a kidney transplant), Altered Mental Status Unspecified, Type 2 Diabetes, and Legal Blindness. Record review of Resident #33's quarterly MDS assessment section C, cognitive patterns, dated 05/31/2024 revealed no test was performed to determine BIMS scoring. During an observation at 4:17 PM on 8/15/2024 revealed in front of the nurse's station by the 100 and 200 resident halls, a printed sheet of paper was resting face up on a medication cart with no employees maintaining control over it. The sheet of paper contained the lab results for a complete metabolic panel (blood test that measures 14 substances in the blood to provide information about the body's chemical balance and metabolism) for Resident #70. Several residents were in the lobby area (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.

F 0583 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few within 45 feet of the sheet of paper. This surveyor took a picture of the sheet of paper without any employee behind the nurse's station noticing. The sheet of paper remained face-up and available to anyone in the room for 1 minute before RN A was informed of the situation. In an interview with RN A at 4:18 PM on 08/15/2024, RN A stated that the sheet of paper contained HIPAA protected information. RN A stated that she did not know who put the sheet of paper on the medication cart. RN A stated that anyone walking by could see Resident #70's personal medical information. RN A stated that if Resident #70 found out that the facility was not protecting his health information, he might experience disappointment and embarrassment. During an observation at 8:13 AM on 08/16/2024, revealed RN A administered medications to Resident #33 inside Resident #33's room. RN A had the medication cart against the wall opposite of Resident #33's room with the computer monitor facing Resident #33's room. While RN A stepped inside of Resident #33's room, the monitor on the medication cart was left on, displaying Resident #33's personal medical information. The monitor was left on for approximately 1 minute until RN A exited the room and noticed that she had left the monitor on. In an interview with RN A at 8:14 AM on 8/16/2024, RN A stated that she accidentally left the computer screen on while she was administering medications to Resident #33. RN A stated that she typically locked the screen when she was not actively using the computer during medication administration. RN A stated that the personal medical information displayed on the computer screen was HIPAA protected information. RN A stated that if Resident #33 found out that the facility was not protecting her health information, she might experience disappointment and embarrassment. In an interview with LVN D at 11:11 AM on 08/16/2024, LVN D stated that revealing a resident's protected personal information to individuals who do not have a need or right to access the information could potentially cause the resident mental distress if they were informed of the incident. LVN D stated that leaving a printed-out sheet of paper face-up containing a resident's laboratory values in a public place would constitute a HIPAA violation. LVN D stated that leaving a computer screen unattended with a resident's personal medical information would constitute a HIPAA violation. LVN D stated that if she saw a resident's protected medical information displayed publicly, she would hide it and then inform the nearby nurse. LVN D stated that she had not witnessed any instances of HIPAA information being displayed unnecessarily at this facility. In an interview with CNA E at 11:29 AM on 08/16/2024, CNA E stated that leaving a printed-out sheet of paper face-up containing a resident's laboratory values in a public place would constitute a HIPAA violation.

F 0623 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman, before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to send a copy of the notice of transfer or discharge, and the reasons for the transfer or discharge in writing to the resident, resident representative, or the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman for one (Resident #11) of three residents reviewed for transfer and discharge. The facility failed to send the notice of transfer or discharge in writing to Resident #11, Resident #11's representative or the Ombudsman when Resident #11 was discharged to the hospital on 6/27/2024. This failure could affect residents at the facility by placing them at risk of being discharged and not having access to available advocacy services, discharge/transfer options, and the appeal processes. Findings included: Record Review of Resident #11's face sheet revealed he was an [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility with an original admission date of 8/07/2023, and the most recent admission date of 7/02/2024. His diagnoses included Unspecified Dementia (group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking and social abilities), Alzheimer's Disease (a brain disorder characterized by changes in the brain that causes the brain to shrink and brain cells to eventually die), End Stage Renal Disease (kidney failure) with heart failure, Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 4 (Stage 4 kidney disease is the last stage before kidney failure), and Renal Dialysis (a treatment for people whose kidneys are failing). Record review from hospital records dated 6/27/2024 revealed that Resident #11 was admitted to the hospital with a primary diagnosis of Acute Kidney Failure, Unspecified. Record review of the Nurse Practitioner's Progress notes dated 6/27/2024 revealed that Resident #11's family representative was notified verbally that resident was being transferred to hospital and why. Record review of hospital discharge paperwork dated 6/28/2024 revealed that Resident #11 was also admitted to the hospital with a UTI. Record Review of a progress note dated 7/2/2024 revealed that Resident #11 returned and was admitted to facility on 7/2/2024. During an interview with the ADON on 8/15/2024 at 2:55pm, the ADON stated the facility would call the family to notify them of transfers or discharges, but not in writing. The ADON stated if it was an emergency, the facility would transfer the resident first, then notify the family verbally after the fact. The ADON stated that if it were an emergency when a resident was discharged , the family would come in after the fact to discuss medications and upcoming appointments, but that was it. During an interview with the DON on 8/15/2024 at 4:19pm, the DON stated that residents were verbally notified when they are going to be transferred or discharged to the hospital, but the facility does not notify residents or their representatives in writing.

Developmental Disability: Is there evidence or an indicator this is an individual that has a Developmental Disability (related condition) other than an intellectual disability (e.g., Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida)? There was no evidence of a Level 2 screening. Record review of R #3's PASRR Level 1 dated 04/01/19 was marked No to all three questions in section C. There was no evidence of a Level 2 screening. Record review of R #3's PASRR Level 1 dated 05/29/24 was marked Yes to Mental Illness question #2 in section C. and No to questions 1, 3, and 4 in section C regarding Dementia, Intellectual ability or Developmental Disability, respectively. There was no evidence of a Level 2 screening. Interview with RN B on 08/16/24 at 11:18 AM revealed she said she was responsible to ensure all residents had PASRR screenings and referrals. RN B could not provide an answer as to why R #34's and R #3's PASRR mental screening questions were answered incorrectly. RN B said the local authority would change the screening and then said she would find out the answer and get back to the surveyor. In a subsequent interview with RN B on 08/16/24 at 2:23 PM she stated R #34's and R #3's screenings were done incorrectly and should have been triggered as positive since R #34 and R #3 had mental illness diagnoses. RN B stated she would be resubmitting the correct positive PASRR information to local state authority agency used that would determine if R #34 and R #3 qualified for PASRR services. RN B stated she felt the error had not negatively impacted R #34 or R #3. RN-B also stated there was no answer as to why the PASRR Level 1 screenings were done incorrectly as a previous employee had conducted the initial screenings. She stated it was a team effort to monitor and audit PASRR screenings but overall, the ADM had responsibility for overseeing PASRR screenings accuracy.

The ADM called RN B into the meeting and where at this time RN B stated the responsibility fell on the MDS Coordinator, which was RN B. The ADM stated if the PASRR screening was incorrect or if an evaluation was not conducted, the resident was at risk of not receiving additional PASRR services he/she may have been qualified for. Residents Affected - Few Record review of the facility's policy titled, Comprehensive Assessments revised January 2024 reflected, Compliance guidelines: Pre-admission screening determines whether the community can provide the level and scope of services required by the resident's medical and mental condition. This assessment is important because it is the initial source of information that will ultimately determine the resident's comprehensive care plan. Pre-admission screening and resident review (PASRR) screen is required of all individuals with mental illness (MI) or mental retardation (MR}, regardless of the applicant's source of payment. The screen lists the specialized services that are required and identifies the services the state is responsible to provide. The community is responsible for providing the other needed services. These screening are provided within fourteen days of the resident's admission to the community, when there has been a significant change in the resident's condition, quarterly, and annually (every twelve months). PASRR preadmission screens: Residents with mental illness or mental retardation: The community coordinates resident assessments with pre-admission screening to maximize the resident assessment process. The state is responsible for conducting the PASRR screen, preparing the PAS RR report, and providing or arranging specialized services that the screen shows to be needed. The PASRR screen lists the specialized services that are required and identifies the services that the state is responsible to provide. The community is responsible for providing the other needed services. The community does not admit new residents with mental illness (MI) or mental retardation (MR) unless approved by the appropriate state mental health or mental retardation agency. The state is required to provide specialized services either directly or through arrangement. Preadmission screening is required of all individuals with MI or MR, regardless of the applicant's source of payment. Residents admitted or readmitted following a discharge from an acute care stay are exempt from the screening requirement if: Readmissions following hospitalizations. Individuals who are admitted to the nursing community directly from a hospital after receiving acute inpatient care at the hospital, require nursing community services for the condition for which the individual received care in the hospital, and have been certified by their attending physician prior to admission to the nursing community that they are likely to require less than 30 days of nursing community services.

The facility failed to ensure Resident #41's (R#41) most recent care plan was updated for a fall with injury on 08/11/24, updated fall precautions, bed in low position, call light in place/within reach, scoop mattress, and fall matt on floor beside bed. This deficient practice could place residents at risk of not being provided with the necessary care or services and not having personalized plans developed to address their specific needs. The findings included: Record review of R#41's face sheet dated 07/20/2024 indicated a [AGE] year-old female initially admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Diagnoses included unspecified dementia, lack of coordination, osteoporosis (brittle bones), high blood pressure, muscle wasting and weakness, insomnia, overactive bladder, and abnormal gait. Record review of R#41's quarterly MDS revealed she had a BIMS score of 3 indicating severe cognitive impairment, and she required staff assistance for all ADL's, including ambulation, transfers and mobility.
