**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an assessment accurately reflected a resident's status for 1 (Resident #5) of 12 residents reviewed for accuracy of MDS assessments. -The facility failed to accurately assess Resident #5 for the use of CPAP on her 09/01/25 quarterly MDS. This failure could result in residents not receiving correct care and services. Findings include: Record review of Resident #5's face sheet printed 09/23/25 revealed she was a [AGE] year-old female resident admitted to the facility originally on 06/22/23 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses to include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breath) and sleep apnea (a common disorder that causes your breathing to stop or get very shallow). Record review of Resident #5's last MDS was a quarterly assessment completed 09/01/25 listing her with a BIMS of 15 indicating she was cognitively intact, and she had a functionality of requiring supervision/touching assistance with most of her activities of daily living. Section O - Special Treatments, Procedures, and Programs: Resident #5 was not marked as having any Non-invasive Mechanical Ventilation. Record review of Resident #5's care plan with admission date of 07/05/23 revealed the following: Focus: RESIDENT REQUIRES THE USE OF CPAP/BIPAP R/T SLEEP APNEA Facility has ordered several different masks and resident has not been happy with any of them. Date Initiated: 12/12/2023. Revision on: 07/31/2025. Interventions/Tasks: RESIDENT WILL USE DEVICE AS ORDERED. Date Initiated: 12/12/2023. Revision on: 12/12/2023.

Record review of the Treatment Administration Record 08/19/25 to 09/01/25 for Resident #5 revealed she received her CPAP therapy at 8:00 PM 11 times during the MDS required 14-day look back period. During an interview on 09/24/2025 at 1:41 PM Resident #5 reported she had CPAP up until about 6 months ago when she started having trouble with the machine and the company went bankrupt, and she could not get a replacement. Resident #5 reported she was having trouble with her mask and the tubing so the Dr said, let's just scrap the whole thing and start over. Resident #5 reported the facility had been trying to get all her records to include her previous 4 sleep studies from the hospital and they were scheduling a new sleep study. During an interview on 09/24/2025 at 1:59 PM the Administrator reported Resident #5 was on CPAP therapy and had a history of often refusing to wear her CPAP mask. The Administrator reported that was documented in Resident #5's care plan and she has been offered several different types of masks and she has not been wearing them on a regular basis. During an interview on 09/25/2025 at 9:32 AM the MDS Coordinator reviewed Resident #5 last MDS and reported Resident #5 was not marked for CPAP therapy due to the MDS did not require the facility to address her CPAP therapy on the comprehensive assessment.

and the CPAP or BiPAP were to be addressed as non-invasive mechanical intervention. The MDS coordinator reported that she interviewed Resident #5 who told her she never used a CPAP and that was why the MDS coordinator did not address CPAP therapy on the quarterly MDS assessment. The RRC (present for the conversation) reviewed Resident #5's chart and verified Resident #5 was documented on the 14-day look back period as receiving her CPAP therapy but not every night. Both the MDS Coordinator and the RRC discussed Resident #5 and both reported Resident #5 had a history of frequently changing her story and her condition. The RRC reported not addressing the CPAP therapy would not have affected the reimbursement rate on the older version of the MDS assessment but the new one was a different story. The MDS Coordinator reported not addressing the CPAP therapy on the MDS would not affect the resident care because they still get the same care. During an interview on 09/25/2025 at 9:58 AM the Corporate RN reported the previous DON and ADON resigned effective last week. The Corporate RN reported she expects MDS assessments to accurately reflect a resident's status so there would be a continuum of care and everyone would be on the same page, so the residents' care would be consistent. The Corporate RN reported the facility would follow the RAI manual for completion of all MDS assessments. Record review of the Long Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual Version 1.18.11, dated October 2023 (RAI Manual) revealed the following: SECTION O: SPECIAL TREATMENTS, PROCEDURES, ANDPROGRAMSSteps for Assessment O0110G1, Non-invasive Mechanical VentilatorCode any type of CPAP or BiPAP respiratory support devices that prevent airways from closingby delivering slightly pressurized air through a mask or other device continuously or viaelectronic cycling throughout the breathing cycle. The BiPAP/CPAP mask/device enables theindividual to support their own spontaneous respiration by providing enough pressure whenthe individual inhales to keep their airways open, unlike ventilators that breathe for theindividual. If a ventilator or respirator is being used as a substitute for BiPAP/CPAP, code here.This item may be coded if the resident places or removes their own BiPAP/CPAP mask/device.
