**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to notify the state mental health authority or state intellectual
disability authority, as applicable, promptly after a significant change in the mental or physical condition of a
resident who has mental illness or intellectual disability for resident review for one of one PASRR positive
resident (Resident #47) who had a significant change in mental or physical condition.The facility failed to
notify the LMHA of Resident #47's significant change in mental and physical status after submitting a
significant change MDS on 10/22/2025.This failure could potentially result in PASRR positive residents
receiving services of not having their needs evaluated to determine if additional services were required.The
findings included:Record review of Resident #47's electronic face sheet dated 12/04/2025 revealed the
resident was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
schizoaffective disorder (a chronic mental health condition characterized by symptoms of both
schizophrenia and mood disorders, affecting how individuals think, feel, and behave), psychotic disorder
with delusions (a severe mental health condition characterized by a loss of touch with reality, often
manifesting as delusions) and mild intellectual disabilities. Record review of Resident #47's significant
change MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 07/15, indicating severe cognitive impairment. Section
GG - Functional Abilities, revealed a decline in the resident's eating, toileting, and walking abilities from his
quarterly MDS dated [DATE]. The resident also changed from always continent of bladder and bowel to
frequently incontinent of both.Record review of Resident #47's comprehensive care plan revealed the
resident was identified as PASRR positive for mental illness and intellectual disability.Record review of
Resident #47's EHR revealed the resident was assessed by the Local Mental Health Authority for both MI
and IDD on 01/10/2023.During an interview on 12/04/2025 at 1:45 PM, the MDS LVN C stated she did not
notify the state mental health authority or state intellectual disability authority promptly after a significant
change in Resident #47's physical condition for a review. MDS LVN C stated the lack of contact was an
oversight, and it was important the LMHA was notified of the significant change so they could evaluate the
resident to see if he required additional services. During an interview on 12/04/2025 at 1:50 PM, the MDS
LVN Regional Director stated the LMHA authority was not notified of Resident #47's significant change in
condition, and should have been notified so they could assess the resident to determine if additional
services were necessary.During an interview on 12/05/2025 at 11:15 AM, the DON stated she was
unaware of the requirement to notify the local state mental health or intellectual disability authority when a
resident who was PASRR positive had a significant change and a significant change MDS was submitted.
The DON stated she contacted the LMHA and was told she just needed to inform them of the resident's
election for hospice, discharge to the hospital for over 30 days, or death.Record review of the facility's

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with resident rights, that includes measurable
objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's mental, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that
are identified in the comprehensive assessment and to ensure the comprehensive care plan described the
services that were to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental,
and psychosocial well-being, including the right to refuse treatment, for 1 of 18 residents (Residents #5)
reviewed for comprehensive care plans.The facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan that
addressed Resident #5's self-care of his indwelling catheter.This failure could place residents at risk of
infections from inadequate care and lack of staff supervision. The findings included:Record review of
Resident #5's face sheet dated 12/03/2025 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included: Chronic respiratory failure with hypercapnia (a condition where patients
experience prolonged respiratory issues that lead to an accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood),
retention of urine, and obstructive and reflux uropathy (conditions that impede normal urine flow and can
lead to kidney damage, often requiring medical intervention).Record review of Resident #5's admission

revised by the interdisciplinary team after each assessment, including both the comprehensive and
quarterly review assessments for 1 of 18 residents (Residents #7) reviewed for care plans, in that: The
facility failed to revise Resident #7's comprehensive care plan to reflect the resident's change in hearing
status.This deficient practice could place residents with a decline at risk of receiving proper care. The
findings included: Record review of Resident #7's electronic face sheet dated 12/05/2025 revealed the
resident was an [AGE] year-old male with diagnoses including dementia (loss of memory, language,
problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life), chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (a progressive lung disease that blocks airflow, causing breathing difficulties,
persistent cough (often with mucus), wheezing, and chest tightness) and chronic atrial fibrillation (a fast,
irregular heartbeat that's long-lasting or constant, causing symptoms like palpitations, fatigue, shortness of
breath, dizziness, and weakness, significantly raising stroke risk).Record review of Resident #7's Significant
Change MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 07/15, indicating severe cognitive impairment.
Section B - Hearing, Speech, and Vision revealed the code 1 was checked, indicating the resident had
minimal difficulty with his ability to hear (difficulty in some environments, such as when a person speaks
softly or the setting is noisy).Record review of Resident #7's comprehensive care plan, updated
