* This email is to summarize our phone conversation regarding your facility's non-compliance with the requirements outlined in the Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 19, Subchapter BB, section §19.2704(i)(7)(A), which states your facility must initiate nursing facility specialized services within 20 business days after the date that the services are agreed to in the IDT meeting for the resident we spoke about. * As discussed on the phone, you will need to submit a NFSS request form for PASRR Specialized Services (Therapies and Assessments ST, OT and PT) by 9/25/2023 Regulatory Division and a complaint investigation will be conducted because of one of the following: o If the IDD PASRR Unit does not receive the NFSS request for specialized services in the LTC Portal by the specified due date(s) documented in this email. o If a NFSS request is denied and the Nursing Facility did NOT complete a follow up request to ensure services were approved for the resident. o The facility did not request a Service Planning Team (SPT) meeting with the resident's LIDDA by the noted due date to document changes, remove/update the services from the resident's comprehensive care plan in the portal on the PCSP form. (This would need to be completed if the individual's Medicaid is not active, if the PASRR specialized services are no longer needed or the resident is refusing services) Record review of the facility's undated PASARR Policy and Procedure indicated Nexion uses the most current version of PASRR Rules, TAC Title 40, Part 1 Chapter 19, Sub-chapter BB as they pertain to PASRR Level 1, Level 2 (PE), Specialized Services, and IDT meetings.

Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan for each resident that included the instructions for resident care needed to provide effective and person-centered care and provide a summary of the baseline care plan to the resident and/or their representative for 1 of 4 residents reviewed for new admissions (Residents #11). The facility did not have a completed baseline care plan, within 48 hours of admission and did not provide a written summary to the resident or their representative for Resident #11. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving care and services to meet their needs.
Findings included: Record review of a face sheet dated 10/26/23 indicated Resident #11 was an [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included fracture of neck of right femur (fracture upper leg bone), anemia (condition that develops when your blood produces a lower-than-normal amount of healthy red blood cells), diabetes type 2 (chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar), hypertension (condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high), heart failure(condition that develops when your heart doesn't pump enough blood for your body's needs), neuralgia (particular type of pain that often feels like a shooting, stabbing or burning sensation), kidney failure (when your kidneys have stopped working well enough for you to survive without dialysis or a kidney transplant). Record review of Resident #11's records revealed there was no baseline care plan implemented within 48 hours of admission to the facility for Resident #11. There were no initial admission or discharge goals. There was no resident immediate health and safety needs identified. There were no dietary interventions or goals identified. There were no instructions to provide effective and person-centered care that meets professional standards and quality care. The medications section was not marked for anticoagulant, anticonvulsant, cardiac (B/P) medications, diuretics, opioids, or black box medications. The Therapy Services section was left blank for skilled therapy services for rehabilitation care. The Social Services section was left blank for mental health needs, behavioral concerns, and depression screening; and there was no written summary of the baseline care plan provided to the resident or their representative. Record review of Resident #11's physician orders dated September 2023 indicated Resident #11 was to receive anastrozole (nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors), amlodipine besylate (calcium channel blockers), atenolol (beta-blocker), lisinopril (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor), atorvastatin (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins)), rivaroxaban (oral anticoagulant), gabapentin (anticonvulsant), Lasix (diuretic), and tramadol (opioid with black box warning). During an interview on 10/31/23 at 10:00 am, the DON said it was the admitting nurses' responsibility and other members of the interdisciplinary team to fill out the baseline care plan. She said it was her responsibility to ensure it was correct. She said a copy should have been provided to the resident or their representative.
