F 0645 PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Level I assessment accurately reflected the resident's status for 4 of 10 residents (Residents #64, #9, #20, and #47) reviewed for resident assessments. 1.The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of the PASRR Level 1 screening dated 9/15/25 for Resident #64. The PASRR Level 1 screening did not indicate a diagnosis of mental illness, although the diagnosis (Delusional Disorder) was present on 3/22/24. 2. The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of the PASRR Level 1 screening dated 9/11/25 for Resident #9. The PASRR Level 1 screening did not indicate a diagnosis of mental illness, although the diagnosis (Delusional Disorder) was present at the time.3. The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of the PASRR Level 1 screening for Resident #20. The PASRR Level 1 screening did not indicate a diagnosis of mental illness, although the diagnosis (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) was present upon Resident #20's admission date on 11/01/25.4. The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of the PASRR Level 1 screening for Resident #47. The PASRR Level 1 screening did not indicate a diagnosis of mental illness, although the diagnosis (Mood Disorder, Schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder) was present upon Resident #47's admission date on 12/11/25. This failure could place residents with positive PASRR 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: 1.Record review of the undated face sheet indicated Resident #64 was a [AGE] year-old female that admitted [DATE]. Record review of the physician's orders dated 2/3/26 indicated Resident #64 had diagnoses that included: delusional disorders (a type of serious mental illness characterized by holding one or more firm, false beliefs/delusions, for at least 1 month which are based in reality, often non-bizarre, such as being followed, poisoned, or loved from afar), anxiety (intense, excessive and persistent worry), and mild dementia with agitation (restlessness, anxiety, irritability, and at times verbal or physical aggression). The physician's disorders indicated Resident #64 had orders dated 8/2/25 for Depakote extended release, 250 mg, 1 tab by mouth at bedtime related to delusional disorder. Record review of the annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #64 had clear speech, understood others, and was understood by others. She had a BIMS score of 11 which indicated moderate cognitive impairment. She rejected care 4-6 days per week. Record review of the undated care plan indicated Resident #64 had forgetfulness/delusional behavior related to dementia, a history of when she got an idea in her head, even if not true, she believed it was true. The care plan indicated she took medication for delusional disorder/behaviors. Record review of a PASRR Level 1 Screening dated 9/15/25 indicated Resident #64 did not have a primary diagnosis of dementia or mental illness. During an interview on 2/03/2026 at 12:50 PM, the MDS nurse said she marked the PASRR Level 1 Screening wrong for Resident #64 on 9/15/25 when the facility had the CHOW. She said she indicated Resident #64 did not have mental illness, but Resident #64 got a diagnosis for delusional disorder on 3/22/25. She said Resident #64 did not have a primary diagnosis of dementia so she should have marked the PL 1 positive for MI. During an interview on 2/03/2026 at 1:36 PM, the MDS nurse said marking a PASRR Level 1 Screening negative, when it should have been positive, could cause residents to miss out on potential services and/or counselling they could receive from PASRR services. During an interview and record review on 02/03/2026 at 2:17 PM, the MDS nurse provided this surveyor a Form 1012 Mental Illness/Dementia Resident Review that she said she would turn into the MD to sign indicating Resident #64 had MI related to delusional disorders.

F 0645 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some to determine whether to submit a new positive PL 1 screening form on the Long Term Care Portal because further evaluation is needed. During an interview on 2/04/2026 at 2:09 PM, the SW said if a resident had a mental illness diagnosis, she would expect them to be PASRR positive on their PL 1. She said if a resident had MI, ID, or DD, and were marked negative, they could miss out on services that would benefit them. During an interview on 02/04/2026 at 2:21 PM, the DON said anyone with MI, DD, or ID should be marked as positive on their PL 1 so that they could get all the care that they needed. If a resident was marked negative and they were positive, they could miss out on treatments that would provide them needed care. The DON said if a resident had MI it would be beneficial for their overall quality of life and well-being to get extra services through PASRR. During an interview on 2/04/2026, at 2:27 PM, the ADM said anyone with MI, IDD, ID should be marked as positive on the PL 1, so that they could get all the care that they needed and support services for a better quality of life. He said if the PL 1 was marked negative and should have been positive, it could adversely affect their quality of life because the PASRR services gave them more positive things. The ADM said he had seen residents receive PASRR services and they really seemed to enjoy it. 2.

F 0679 Provide activities to meet all resident's needs. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide an ongoing program to support residents in their choice of activities, both facility-sponsored group and individual activities and independent activities, designed to meet the interests of and support the physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for residents 1 of 2 units (secure unit) reviewed for quality of life, in that: The facility failed to ensure there were organized activities available to secured unit residents on 02/02/26.The facility failed to ensure the activities calendar was initially posted for February, 2026, and once it was posted, was followed. This failure placed residents at risk for a diminished quality of life, behaviors, isolation, and lack of stimulation. Findings included: During an interview on 02/02/26 at 11:45AM, the family member of a resident in the secure unit, Family Member M, said the only time she saw activities conducted in the secured unit was when occupational therapy or hospice would come in and do some kind of activity. During an observation on 02/02/26 at 10:17AM, the residents in the secured unit were sitting in the dining room watching TV. Some residents were asleep in their wheelchairs or couches, and some were wandering around the hall. There was no activity ongoing at this time. There was an activity schedule posted, but it was for the month of January. There was no activity schedule posted for February.During an observation on 02/02/26 at 02:30PM, there was no activity ongoing at this time. The residents had finished lunch, and some were sitting around in the dining room watching tv. Other residents were up and wandering around the unit.During an interview on 02/02/26 at 02:55PM, the Activity Director said that day was her 3rd full day as the activity director. She said her first day was January 28th, but she was required by the facility to continue to administer medications as a medication aide. She said she was about to step away to go administer more medications. She said she did not have access to the computer in the activity director's office yet, and was unable to access activity director materials. She said she did not have a schedule for activities in the secured unit for February yet.During an interview on 02/03/26 at 09:40AM, the Activity Director provided a schedule of activities for the secured unit for February.Record review of the Activities Schedule for February 2026 for the secured unit reflected the following activities for 02/03/26:10AM Music1PM - Arranging Flowers4PM - Bible Study6PM - TV During an observation on 02/03/26 at 10:18AM, the Activity Director was in the secured unit conducting a coloring activity with the residents.During an observation on 02/03/26 at 01:01PM, there were no activities being conducted in the secured unit at that time. Some residents were still eating lunch.During an interview on 02/03/26 at 1:06PM, CNA N said the Activity Director did not conduct any activities in the secured unit on 02/02/26. She said the aides left out colors for the residents to color. She said there was no specific time when the aides were responsible for doing the activity because they have a lot going on. She said they tried to incorporate activities, but they were doing rounds, smoke breaks, showers, passing trays, and incontinent care. She said the aides had been responsible for activities in the secured unit for the last 2 years.

Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services (including procedures that assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of all drugs and biologicals) to meet the needs of each resident for 2 of 4 medication carts (Cart Hall 2 and Cart Halls 1 & 3) reviewed for pharmacy services. The facility failed to ensure the nursing staff responsible for the safekeeping of narcotics performed and documented change of shift narcotic counts on multiple shifts and days for Medication Cart Hall 2 and Cart Halls 1 & 3. This failure could place residents at risk for loss of medications and possible drug diversion.Findings included: During an observation and interview on 02/03/2026 at 09:01 AM, MA-B was noted standing at Medication Cart Hall 2. The top drawer of the cart was open and a key ring with keys on it was noted lying on top of the cart. When asked if MA-B was available for observation of medication administration, MA-B said she was not the medication aide for the residents. MA-B said she was the staffing coordinator. She said she was also a medication aide and helped in that capacity when needed. She said she was checking the medication cart for needed supplies. MA-B said she obtained the keys to the cart from MA-C who was on another hall at that time. She said the key to the narcotic box in the cart was also on the key ring. MA-B said she counted the narcotics with MA-C when she took control of the keys to the cart that morning (02/03/2026). MA-B said she forgot to sign the narcotic count record. During an interview with MA-C at 09:10 AM on 02/03/2026, she said she counted the narcotics with MA-B prior to giving her the keys to the carts and narcotic boxes for Hall Cart 2 and Hall Cart 1 & 2. She said she did not get to the facility in time to count the narcotics with the off-going night nurse every day. She said she counted the narcotics in the carts she would use every day with whoever had the keys. MA-C said she counted Hall Cart 2 and Hall Cart 1 & 3 with MA-B when she arrived at the facility that morning. During a second interview with MA-B on 02/03/2026 at 09:16 AM, MA-B said she did not count the narcotics with MA-C when she arrived at work that morning. During a second interview with MA-C on 02/03/2026 at 09:18 AM, MA-C said she counted narcotics with LVN-E that morning when she arrived to work. During an interview with LVN-E on 02/03/2026 at 09:20 AM, LVN-E said she had not counted the narcotics with MA-B when she arrived to work. During an interview on 02/03/2026 at 09:21 AM with MA-B, MA-C, and LVN-E, MA-C looked at LVN-E and said, I counted with you this morning. LVN-E shook her head no and said she had not counted with MA-C. When surveyor asked MA-C who she had gotten the keys to Hall cart 2 and Hall Cart 1 & 3 from, she did not reply. When asked a second time, MA-C looked at LVN-E. LVN-E then said, In the book and pointed toward Hall Cart 2. When surveyor asked MA-C if the keys to the cart were left unsecured, inside the narcotic count book lying on top of Hall Cart 2, MA-C replied yes. During an interview on 02/03/2026 at 09:32 AM, MA-C said she did not count the narcotics in Hall Cart 2 and Hall Cart 1 &3 with anyone when she obtained the keys to the carts from the notebook. She said she counted the narcotics by herself. MA-C said it was important to count narcotics every time keys were passed from one person to another to reduce the risk of missing or lost narcotics and other drugs.

She said she counted the narcotics on the carts with one of the nurses when she left at 5 PM. A review of the Narcotic Count Notebooks for Hall Cart 2 and Hall Carts 1 & 3 noted the first page in the notebooks to have the following instructions in large, bold print: Please count Narcotics and sign the log sheet daily! Record review of the Controlled Substances Count sheet for Hall Cart 2 indicated spaces available for the 6 AM - 6 PM and 6 PM - 6 AM shifts only. There was 1 missing signature for the 6 PM - 6 AM shift on 02/02/2026 which indicated MA-C had not performed a narcotic count with anyone before relinquishing control of the cart. There were no entries for the performance of narcotic counts on 02/03/2026. Record review of the Controlled Substances Count sheet for Hall Cart 1 & 3 indicated an undated entry below the date of 02/02/2026 for an off-going night nurse with no corresponding signature of the on-coming nursing staff. During an interview and record review with the DON on 02/03/2026 at 10:35 AM, she provided a reconstructed accounting of the exchange of control of Hall Cart 2 which indicated Hall Cart 2 and keys were handed off a total of 8 times from 07:00 AM on 02/02/2026 to 07:00 AM on 02/03/2026. The exchange of control of the cart containing narcotics involved 2 Medication Aides, 4 Licensed Vocational Nurses, and 1 Registered Nurse and resulted in 13 missing signatures for narcotic counts from 07:00 AM on 02/02/2026 through 07:00 AM on 02/03/2026. The DON said she expected the nursing staff to count the narcotics at shift change and any time the keys and control of the medication carts were passed from one person to another. She said she expected nursing staff to be honest about their handling of narcotic counts. She said she expected the keys to the medication carts and narcotics to be maintained in a secure manner and not left on top of the cart in the narcotic book. The DON said narcotic counts and the security of the keys to the carts and narcotics were important for minimizing the risk of missing or lost narcotics. A review of the facility's policy dated 2001 and revised November 2022 and titled Controlled Substances indicated the following: 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 included the following:a.Records of personnel access and usage, .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 report any discrepancies to the director of nursing services.

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 establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 1 of 5 residents (Residents #2) reviewed for infection control and prevention. The facility failed to ensure CNA G and CNA H donned (put on) appropriate PPE (a gown) prior to preparing Resident #2 for a transfer using a Hoyer lift and adjusting his urinary catheter drainage collection bag. This failure could place residents under their care at risk for the transmission of communicable diseases and infections. Findings included: Record review of a face sheet dated 02/02/2026 indicated Resident #2 was an [AGE] year-old male who initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] after a hospital stay. He had diagnoses which included heart disease, chronic kidney failure, influenza A, and sepsis (serious condition resulting from the presence of harmful microorganisms in the blood or other tissues and the body's response, potentially leading to the malfunctioning of various organs, shock, and death). Record review of Resident #2's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] noted Resident #2 had a BIMS of 14 which indicated his cognition was intact. Record review of Resident #2's care plan dated 02/01/2026 indicated he required Enhanced Barrier Precautions to prevent spread of multidrug-resistant organisms. During an observation on 02/02/2026 at 01:15 PM, CNA-G and CNA-H were observed preparing Resident #2 for a transfer from his bed to a shower bed using a Hoyer lift. Upon preparing to enter Resident #2's room, a sign indicating the need for EBP was noted posted on the wall to the left of the outer doorway. A plastic 3-drawer container with PPE in it was noted inside and to the left of the doorway. CNA-G and CNA-H were observed to turn Resident #2 from side to side while placing a Hoyer lift sling under him. Resident #2 was noted to have an open wound to his sacrum area. CNA-H was observed to use his right, gloved hand to reposition Resident #2's foley catheter drainage bag from underneath the bed to the foot of the bed. CNA-G and CNA-H were observed not wearing disposable gowns during this time. During an interview on 02/02/2026 at 01:25 PM, CNA-G said she did not see the EBP sign on the wall beside the door leading to Resident #2's room. She said she knew she was supposed to wear gowns and gloves when providing care to residents with wounds, g-tubes, and foley catheters, but forgot. She said EBP was important in protecting residents and staff from the spread of disease. During an interview on 02/02/2026 at 01:28 PM, CNA-H said he did not know what conditions required EBP but knew the EBP sign meant he was to wear gown and gloves when providing direct care to residents in rooms with the EBP sign outside their doors. He said he did not see the EBP sign on the wall beside the door leading to Resident #2's room. He said it was important to follow infection control protocol to keep from spreading infection. During an interview on 02/03/2026 at 01:50 PM, the DON said she expected staff to follow EBP instructions when caring for residents with foley catheters. She said EBP signs were posted on the outside walls beside the doors to resident rooms to remind staff of the need for gowns and gloves to be used when providing direct patient care. She said she was ultimately responsible for ensuring staff adhere to EBP. Record review of the facility's policy dated 2001and titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions indicated the following: Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) refer to an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms that employs targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities.Policy Interpretation and Implementation3.Examples of high-contact care activities requiring the use of gown and gloves for EBPs include:g. device care or use (.urinary catheter, .h.wound care 5.EBPs are indicated.for residents with wounds and/or indwelling medical devices regardless of MDRO colonization.
