This survey cited 4 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0640 Encode each resident’s assessment data and transmit these data to the State within 7 days of assessment. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to complete a discharge resident assessment within the required time frame for 1 of 25 residents (Resident #39) reviewed for MDS (Minimum Data Set) completion. Residents Affected - Some The facility failed to complete and transmit a required discharge assessment for Resident #39 within 14 days after Resident #39 discharged from the facility. This failure could place residents at risk of not getting continuity of care, if their clinical and discharge assessment information was not current and accurate in the MDS (RAI) database. Findings included: Record Review of Resident #39's face sheet dated 05/24/24 indicated she was a [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included: cerebral infarction (brain tissue damage caused by lack of oxygen to the area), aphasia (a language disorder that occurs when parts of the brain are damaged), and peripheral vascular disease (a progressive disorder that reduces blood circulation to parts of the body other than the brain or heart). Record review of the last quarterly MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #39 was severely cognitively impaired and required substantial/maximal assistance for ADLs. There was no evidence of a discharge MDS assessment. Record review of the MDS summary sheet dated 05/30/24 for Resident #39 indicated discharge Assessment Reference Date (ARD): 01/09/24, 128 days overdue. Record review of a Discharge Summary form dated 02/06/24, signed by the physician indicated Resident #39 was discharged from the facility on 01/09/24 to a hospital. During an interview on 05/30/24 at 11:44 a.m., MDS Nurse A said she was responsible for completing the MDS assessments for Resident #39. She said MDS Nurse C was her back up to double check MDS assessments for accuracy and completeness. MDS Nurse A said she had been working as an MDS Nurse for 11 years and had attending many trainings on MDS accuracy, completeness, and completing MDS assessments timely. She said Resident #39's discharge MDS had never been completed or transmitted and she should have had a discharge assessment completed when she left the facility, but it was just missed. She said the possible negative outcome for not completing a discharge MDS assessment was the facility was still receiving quality measures (information on a number of aging-relevant domains including: functional and cognitive status, psychosocial functioning, geriatric syndromes, and life care wishes) (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0640 related to Resident #39 when she was no longer at the facility. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm During an interview on 05/30/24 at 12:01 p.m., the Administrator said her expectation was for all MDS assessments to be completed timely and correctly. She said the MDS Nurses were responsible for completing all assessments including Resident #39's discharge assessment. The Administrator said the discharge assessment was just missed. She said the facility also contracted with an MDS consultant firm that oversees and audits the MDS assessments completed by the facility. She said that after learning of the errors occurring in the facility's MDS assessments, she was planning to get the MDS Nurses additional training to ensure all MDS assessments would be completed timely and accurately. Residents Affected - Some During an interview on 05/30/24 at 12:07 p.m., the DON said a discharge MDS assessment should have been completed for Resident #39. He said the discharge assessment was just overlooked. He said the MDS Nurses receive information daily about discharged or hospitalized residents through the facility's daily care meetings. He said his expectation was that all MDS assessments be completed accurately and timely. He said the facility did not have a policy on MDS assessments but followed the Long-Term Care for Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI). Record review of the Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual Version 1.18.11 updated October 2023 indicated, .Federal regulatory requirements at 42 CFR 483.20(b)(1) and 483.20(c) require facilities to use an RAI that has been specified by CMS. The requirements for the RAI are applicable to all residents in Medicare and/or Medicaid certified long-term care facilities. They include: .

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 observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure assessments accurately reflected the resident's status for 3 of 25 residents reviewed for assessments. (Residents #1, #36 and #85). Residents Affected - Some The facility failed to complete an accurate resident assessment for Resident #1. Resident #1's resident assessment did not indicate she smoked. The facility did not ensure Resident #36's MDS assessment reflected he was on oxygen. The facility failed to complete an accurate resident assessment for Resident #85. Resident #85's resident assessment did not indicate he was on hospice services. These failures could place residents at risk of not having their individual needs met and a decreased quality of life. Findings included: 1. Record review of a face sheet dated 05/28/24 indicated Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old female readmitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included schizoaffective disorder (mental illness that can affect your thoughts, mood, and behavior) and major depressive disorder (mental condition characterized by persistently depressed mood and long-term loss of pleasure or interest in life). Record review of the most recent Smoking Safety Screen dated 10/26/23 indicated Resident #1 understood all tobacco products would be kept by facility staff, she would be supervised by facility staff and could light her own cigarettes. Record review of a comprehensive MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 9, indicating her cognition was moderately impaired and had diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder and major depressive disorder. The MDS was not marked for current tobacco use. Record review of a quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 9 indicating her cognition was moderately impaired. Record review of a care plan revised 05/13/24 indicated Resident #1 was a smoker and required supervision while smoking. Record review of an undated smokers list indicated Resident #1 smoked. During an observation and interview on 05/29/24 at 11:11 a.m., Resident # 1 was smoking a cigarette with steady hands. Resident #1 said she smoked every day, sometimes 5 times a day. She said she has smoked since she got to the facility. During an interview on 05/29/24 at 2:45 p.m., LVN B said she was providing care for Resident #1 today. She said Resident #1 smoked daily and the facility kept her smoking supplies for her. During an interview on 05/29/24 at 3:00 p.m., MDS Nurse A said she was responsible for MDS's with Medicaid as the payor source. She said Resident #1 smoked daily.

F 0641 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 01/04/24 should have been marked for smoking and was not. She said she overlooked it. MDS Nurse A said she would correct the MDS after surveyor intervention. She said she was educated on MDS accuracy with October being her most recent update on the MDS. MDS Nurse A said the risk of not documenting smoking on a resident's MDS was possibly a smoking assessment not getting completed. Record review of the RAI section J 1300 Code 1 indicated yes; if the resident or any other source indicates that the resident used tobacco in some form during the look back period. 2. Record review of physician orders dated May 2024 indicated Resident #36, re-admitted [DATE], was a [AGE] year-old male with a diagnosis of cerebral infarction related to thrombosis of the carotid artery (rare but serious condition in which a blood clot forms in the cerebral artery blocking blood circulation in the brain tissue). The resident was ordered oxygen at 2 LPM by NC continuously every shift for shortness of breath, active 05/21/2024. Record review of the MARs for Resident #36 dated March 2024, April 2024 and May 2024 indicated Resident #36 received oxygen 2L NC continuously daily as ordered. Record review of significant change MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #36 had a BIMS of 99 (severe cognitive impairment) and did not receive oxygen. Record review of the most recent quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #36 had a BIMS of 00 (severe cognitive impairment) and did not receive oxygen. Record review of a care plan date initiated 01/24/24 indicated Resident #36 received oxygen therapy. The goal was that the resident would not have poor oxygen absorption. During observations, Resident #36 had oxygen at 2L NC in progress: *05/28/24 at 9:53 a.m., *05/29/24 at 8:18 a.m., *05/29/24 at 10:40 a.m., *05/29/24 at 3:26 p.m., and *05/30/24 at 8:41 a.m. During an interview on 05/30/24 at 8:52 a.m., MDS Nurse A said Resident #36 was on oxygen. She said she was responsible for ensuring the MDS assessments were accurate. She said Resident #36's MDSs dated 01/26/24 and 4/27/24 did not capture the resident's oxygen and should have. She said the MDS guided the resident's care and the possible negative outcome of not capturing the resident's oxygen would be he may not receive the services he required. During an interview on 05/30/24 at 9:05 a.m., the DON said his expectations were for the MDS documentation to be accurate. He said the possible negative outcome could be the resident may not receive the care and services he required.

F 0641 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some administered via mask, cannula, etc., delivered to a resident to relieve hypoxia (deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues) in this item. 3 Record review of a face sheet dated 05/29/24 indicated Resident #85 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE]. His diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease (progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions), dementia (loss of cognitive functioning), bipolar disorder (mental disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs), hypertension (condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high), hypertensive heart disease (caused by chronically high blood pressure), type 2 diabetes mellitus (chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a lung disease that blocks airflow making it difficult to breathe), and depression (mental illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act). Record review of physician orders for May 2024 indicated Resident #85 had an order dated 01/15/24 for hospice care. Record review of a care plan dated 10/31/23 indicated Resident #85 had a terminal prognosis related to heart disease and was on hospice services. Record review of the quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] for Resident #85 indicated it was not marked for hospice while a resident. The MDS form indicated the section for hospice was signed by MDS Nurse A. During an interview on 05/29/24 at 02:48 p.m., MDS Nurse A said Resident #85 was still on hospice services. She indicated she just did not mark that he was on hospice. During an interview on 05/29/24 at 3:25 p.m., the DON said MDS Nurse A and C were responsible for all MDSs in the facility. He said Resident #1 was a smoker. The DON said Resident #1's MDS should have been documented for smoking. He said it was an oversight. The DON said he was responsible for signing MDS for completion and he checked triggered items but not the whole MDS for accuracy. He said the risk of smoking not captured on the MDS was the facility not paid accurately and a change may not be captured. The DON said his expectation was accuracy on all MDS. During an interview on 05/29/24 at 3:37 p.m., the Administrator said Resident #1 smoked. She said MDS nurse B and C were responsible for completing all MDS in the facility. She said the Regional Care Manager was the back-up. She said the risk of smoking not documented on the MDS was the MDS may not give a complete and accurate picture of the resident. She said her expectation was MDSs completed accurately, completely, and timely. During an interview on 05/30/24 at 11:55 a.m., Regional Care Manager said MDS Nurse A and C were responsible for all MDS in the facility. She said she was the consultant and did yearly audits and spot checked MDSs. The Regional Care Manager said she educated MDS Nurse A and C though out the year on the RAI (Resident Assessment Instrument). She said Resident #1's MDS not documented for smoking was overlooked. She said the risk of smoking not documented on the MDS was the resident may not match the plan of care and possibly conflict with care provided. During an interview on 05/30/24 at 08:40 a.m., the DON said they did not have an MDS policy, they followed the RAI manual.
