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 provide reasonable accommodation of resident needs for 2 of 8 resident rooms (Resident #49 and #68) reviewed for call lights. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure Residents #49 on 03/05/2024 and #68's on 03/04/2024 call lights were within reach and placed for easy access. The deficient practice could place residents at risk of not receiving care or attention needed. Findings included: Record review of Resident #68's face sheet, dated 03/07/2024, revealed the resident was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and admission date 02/06/2024 with diagnoses which included: paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, hypotension, hypothyroidism, hyperlipidemia, essential hypertension, depression, pain in unspecified joint, type 2 diabetes mellitus with unspecified complications and repeated falls. Record review of Resident #68's Medicare 5-day MDS assessment, dated 02/12/2024, revealed the resident's BIMS score was 8, which indicated moderate cognitive impairment with resident dependent on staff with toilet transfers (the ability to get on and off a toilet or commode), and bed to chair transfers (the ability to transfer to and from a bed to a chair) helper does all of the effort and resident does none of the effort to complete the activity. Record review of Resident #68's care plan, revision date of 02/14/2024, and target date of 04/24/2024 revealed Resident #68 had a focus of The resident is risk for falls and an intervention of Be sure the resident's call light is within reach and encourage the resident to use it for assistance as needed. Resident #68's ADL Self Care plan further revealed a focus of The resident has an ADL Self Care Performance Deficit and an intervention of TOILET USE: The resident requires assistance to use toilet .

F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few reach her call light. CNA A stated residents used the call light for getting help, letting the staff know when they were in pain or just in general need. CNA A stated Resident #68's call should have been down where she could reach it. Record review of Resident #49's face sheet, dated 03/07/2024, revealed the resident was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included: pain in unspecified joint, unspecified dementia, moderate, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety, other seizures, essential hypertension, and edema. Record review of Resident #49's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 02/20/2024, revealed the resident's BIMS score was 5, which indicated severe cognitive impairment with resident dependent on staff with bed to chair transfers (the ability to transfer to and from a bed to a chair) helper does all of the effort and resident does none of the effort to complete the activity. Record review of Resident #49's care plan, revision date of 02/28/2024, and target date of 05/28/2024 revealed Resident #49 had a focus of The resident is risk for falls and an intervention of Be sure the resident's call light is within reach and encourage the resident to use it for assistance as needed. Observation and interview on 03/05/2024 at 11:13 a.m. revealed Resident #49 lying in bed with bed in lowest position, head of bed slightly elevated, call light going up between the headboard and the top of mattress, lying on the bed frame out of reach of resident. Resident #49 stated he did use his call light then began patting around on his bed beginning by feeling around on his pillow and then along side of him. Resident #49 then stated he could not find the call light. During an interview on 03/05/2024 at 11:16 a.m. LVN B stated where Resident #49's call light was located it could not be reached and pulled it from behind the mattress at the head of the bed and clipped it to the top of Resident #49's the blanket. LVN B then had him push the button to ensure it worked. LVN B stated Resident #49 was able to use the call light and would yell out at times when he needed assistance. LVN B further stated with call lights not being place where residents could reach the residents would not be able to call for help. During an interview on 03/07/2024 at 3:37 p.m. the DON stated residents used the call lights to call for help and should be within reach. The DON further stated it was the responsibility of the CNAs and nurses to ensure call lights were within reach of resident. The DON stated without the call light how would the staff know there was a need or an emergency. During an interview on 03/07/2024 at 4:10 p.m. the ADM stated the importance of the call light was for the resident to have access to request care. The ADM further stated the call lights should be always within reach when they were in their room. During an interview on 03/07/2024 at 5:00 p.m. the ADM stated the facility did not have a policy which addressed call lights specifically but was noted in the Quality Assurance Policy and Procedure as part of the QA team rounds and ADM provide with the policy.

F 0638 Assure that each resident’s assessment is updated at least once every 3 months. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to assess each resident quarterly using the Minimum Data Set form specified by the state and approved by CMS for 1 of 8 residents (Resident 58) reviewed for quarterly assessments. Residents Affected - Few Resident #58's quarterly MDS Assessment was not completed within 92 days of the previous MDS assessment. This failure could place residents at-risk of not having their assessments completed timely. The findings included: Record review of Resident #58's face sheet, dated 03/07/2024, revealed the resident was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and an admission date 03/29/2023 with diagnoses which included: encounter for other orthopedic aftercare, fracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, history of falling, type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications, hyperlipidemia, essential hypertension, other chronic pain, major depressive disorder, presence of left artificial knee joint, ileus, and neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder. Record review of Resident #58's most recent MDS Assessment, dated 10/05/2023, reflected the due date of the next Quarterly MDS Assessment was to be completed on 01/05/2024. Further review reflected the Quarterly MDS Assessment due on 01/05/2024 had not been opened or started. During an interview on 03/07/2024 at 2:51 p.m. the MDS C stated she just must have missed the MDS and typically MDS assessments are done quarterly and annually. MDS C further stated by not doing the MDS assessments timely a change of condition could be missed, and it could affect payments. MDS C stated the facility follows the RAI schedule and manual when completing MDS assessments. MDS C further stated she was responsible for completing the MDS assessment for Resident #58 but, relied on the PCC program to notify her when a MDS assessments were due, yet for some reason the program was not showing Resident #58's MDS assessment being due, and it should have been done in January. MDS C stated she would add it then to be completed. During an interview on 03/07/2024 at 3:34 p.m. the DON stated typically the MDs coordinators are usually responsible for the schedule, opening, and completing of the MDS assessments. The DON who had only been with the facility for only a few weeks stated he believed MDS coordinators fell under the ADM of the facility. During an interview on 03/07/2024 at 4:12 p.m. the ADM stated the MDS coordinators were responsible for the MDS assessments and the MDS coordinators relied on the UDA (user defined assessment) in PCC. The ADM further stated when a resident was first admitted to the facility PCC will generate a UDA schedule. The ADM stated by not completing MDS assessments it could affect the billing process causing the facility to not be able to bill, and changes in care could also not be addressed which would affect the plan of care.

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 observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the assessment accurately reflected the resident's status for 2 residents of 24 (Residents #43 and #63) residents reviewed for MDS assessments, in that: Residents Affected - Few 1. Facility failed to ensure Resident #43's quarterly MDS assessment with an ARD of 01/23/2024, assessment accurately reflected her bladder status. 2. Facility failed to ensure Resident #63's annual MDS assessment with an ARD of 02/20/2024, accurately reflected her oxygen therapy and her mechanical soft diet. These deficient practices could place residents at risk of inadequate care. The findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #43's electronic face sheet, dated 03/06/2024, reflected she was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included: unspecified sequelae of cerebral infarction (unspecified symptoms and signs involving cognitive functions following cerebral infarction (area of necrotic tissue in brain following lack of blood supply), diabetes mellitus (inadequate control of blood levels of glucose), anemia (a condition that develops when blood produces a lower-than-normal amount of healthy blood cells), schizophrenia (a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally) and retention of urine (not able to empty the urine from the bladder and the urine may back up into the kidneys). Record review of Resident #43's quarterly MDS assessment with an ARD of 01/23/2024 reflected she scored 5/15 on her BIMS which signified she was moderately cognitively impaired. Review of Section H Bladder and Bowel reflected Resident #43 had an indwelling urinary catheter. However, she was coded to be always incontinent of bladder when the code needed to reflect Not rated, resident had a catheter (indwelling, condom) urinary ostomy, or no urine output for the entire 7 days. Record review of Resident 43's comprehensive care plan revised date 05/25/21 reflected Focus, resident has a foley Catheter: Neurogenic bladder r/t CVA. Observation on 03/06/2024 at 2:30 pm of Resident #43 in her room in bed while CNA I performed urinary catheter care for Resident #43. During an interview on 03/07/2024 at 2:45 p.m. the MDS C stated Resident #43's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], Section H Bowel and Bladder, was coded inaccurately. The MDS C stated the code needed to be not rated instead of always incontinent of bladder because Resident #43 had an indwelling urinary catheter. The MDS C stated the wrong code could lead to wrong information for the resident's care plan. During an interview on 03/07/2024 at 3:30 p.m. the DON stated the MDS accuracy was important because it provided information for the resident's care plan, and care for the resident might be missed or inaccurately communicated.
