F 0645 PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Level 1 was completed accurately 1 of 1 Residents (Resident #84). Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to provide a PASRR level I screening for Resident #84 upon admission who had a mental health diagnosis which would have triggered the completion of a PASRR level 1 screening. This failure could place residents who had a positive PASRR Level 1 screening at risk for not receiving care and service to meet their needs. Findings included: Review of Resident #84's face sheet revealed an admission date of 09/29/2023, with diagnoses that included: heart failure, cognitive communication disorder, and post traumatic disorder. Review of Resident #84's MDS dated [DATE] revealed that the resident had a BIMS of 10, which indicated that the resident had moderately impaired cognition. Interview with MDS Coordinator H on 03/14/2024 at 12:45 p.m., while looking at the paper copy of the PASRR screening completed and sent to the facility by the referring entity revealed both the yes and no boxes checked for mental illness were checked. MDS Coordinator H stated she is now responsible for entering all PASRR screenings for residents into another database to ensure they receive the proper screening, however the employee that was responsible for ensuring Resident #84 received an initial PASRR screening upon admission is not longer employed with the facility, she did not know if the referring entity was called for clarity on the initial PL-1 but stated Resident #84 should have received a PASRR screening from the local authority to determine if eligible for PASRR services. MDS Coordinator H further stated the resident did not receive the proper screening because the facility staff responsible for completing the assessments at that time did not ensure accuracy of the received or transmitted data at the time of admission and did not follow up although Resident #84 was admitted with a diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder. Interview with the DON on 03/13/2024 at 1:05 p.m., while looking at Resident the PL-1, (PASRR screening) completed and sent to the facility by the referring entity revealed both the yes and no boxes checked for mental illness were checked. The DON stated MDS Coordinator H is now responsible for ensuring all PASRR screenings are completed and entered accurately and if there is a question regarding information submitted to the facility by the referring entity she should follow up with them to ensure accuracy. The DON further stated, the PASRR screening for Resident #84 on section C of the PL-1 is incorrect, it is checked yes and no and only one answer should have been checked; Resident #84 (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.

The DON said she did not believe the resident not receiving the PASRR screening affected the resident in anyway and did not believe the resident would receive PASRR services when screened. A policy for PASRR screening was requested during this interview. Shortly after the interview and prior to facility exit, the DON returned and said the facility did not have a specific policy related to the completion of PASRR screenings for residents it was a practice that is governed by state rules.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 observation, interview and record review the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being consistent with the resident's comprehensive assessment and plan of care for one of nineteen residents (Residents #251) reviewed for baseline care plan. The facility failed to provide Resident #251 with perineal care after deactivating Resident #251's call light. This deficient practice could place residents at risk for not having care and services provided to meet their needs. The findings included: Record review of Resident #251's face sheet, dated 03/15/2024 reflected an [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE] to room [ROOM NUMBER] with a primary diagnosis of Alzheimer disease, unspecified (a progressive disease beginning with mild memory loss and possibly leading to loss of the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to the environment.) Record review of Resident #251's baseline care plan, dated 03/12/2024, reflected Resident #251 required assistance with toileting and preferred to not utilize an adult brief. Interview on 03/12/2024 at 3:20 PM, Resident #251's family member stated Resident #251 just admitted from the hospital for short-term rehabilitation and had difficulty with having staff assist Resident #251 with brief changes promptly in the last two days; she stated administration had resolved it for the day but still occasionally had this problem. Resident #251's family member stated Resident #251 used the call light just about five minutes ago upon which an unknown staff member responded to the call light and deactivated it before leaving the room and not assisting with the brief change while promising a different staff would arrive shortly for assistance. Observation on 03/12/2024 from 3:22 PM to 3:51 PM revealed no staff responded to Resident #251's need for assistance. Interview on 03/12/2024 at 3:52 PM, LVN I stated she did not respond to Resident #251's call light and was not informed of any need for assistance for Resident #251 by another staff member, and stated the protocol for staff responding to call lights was in the instance the responding staff member could not assist with the immediate need, they were to inform another staff member who could respond immediately to ensure the resident's needs were met. LVN I stated the two CNAs working on the 300-hall were CNA J and CNA K. Interview on 03/12/2024 at 4:01 PM, CNA J stated she did not respond to a call light for Resident #251 and was not informed of any need for assistance for Resident #251 by another staff member. CNA J stated her standard practice if she could not immediately help a resident would be to inform another staff who could assist that resident immediately.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few #251 and was not informed of any need for assistance for Resident #251 by another staff member. CNA K stated her typical practice was if she responded to a call light and could not assist, then she would ask another staff to assist the resident immediately. Interview on 03/12/2024 at 4:14 PM, Resident #251's family member stated she observed the staff member who originally responded to the call light as the DOR. Interview on 03/12/2024 at 4:20 PM, the DOR stated she did not respond to a call light for Resident #251 and had not been asked for assistance to perform a brief change. The DOR stated she had been at the hallway desk to assist the charge nurses and aides in responding to call lights, but she informed appropriate staff to assist with care requests. Interview on 03/12/2024 at 4:49 PM, the DON stated she was made aware of the concern related to Resident #251 but stated she was not able to determine who the responding staff was. The DON stated regardless of who responded to the call light, a staff in general should have responded to assist the resident with the brief change. The DON stated it was her expectation that any staff who respond to the call light are to assist the resident with their care needs if it is within their ability at the time, however if they could not, then to inform a different staff member to assist the resident with their request. The DON stated the potential risk associated with not assisting a resident with a brief change immediately could be skin breakdown from the bowel movement or negative sentiment from the resident. Record review of facility policy titled Rounds & Staffing, undated, reflected: 1. Residents will be checked by the nursing staff frequently and answering call lights in a timely manner.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **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 that included measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs for 2 of 22 residents (Resident #16 and #8) reviewed for care plans in that: 1. Resident #16's comprehensive care plan did not reflect the resident was no longer receiving hospice services. 2. Resident #8's comprehensive care plan did not reflect the resident was not using a leg/foot brace. These failures could place residents at risk of receiving inadequate interventions not individualized to their care needs. The findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #16's face sheet, dated 3/14/24 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included senile degeneration of brain (late onset dementia), type 2 diabetes (a chronic, long-lasting health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy), hypertension (high blood pressure), dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities), oral phase dysphagia (problems with using the mouth, lips and tongue to control food or liquid), need for assistance with personal care and acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (not enough oxygen in the blood, but levels of carbon dioxide are close to normal). Record review of Resident #16's most recent Significant Change MDS assessment, dated 1/12/24 revealed the resident was severely cognitively impaired for daily decision-making skills and was not receiving hospice services. Record review of Resident #16's Order Audit Report, dated 3/14/24 revealed the resident discontinued hospice services on 2/16/24. Further review of the Order Audit report revealed the following: Discontinue resident family fired hospice company. Record review of Resident #16's comprehensive care plan, with revision date 9/14/23 revealed the resident was inaccurately receiving hospice services related to senile degeneration of the brain with interventions that included to work cooperatively with the hospice team to ensure the resident's spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical and social needs were met. During an interview with Resident #16's family member on 3/13/24 at 12:12 p.m., revealed the family had fired the hospice team approximately two weeks ago because they were not satisfied with the hospice services. During an interview on 3/13/24 at 4:11 p.m., the SW stated, Resident #16's family member terminated hospice services because the family was not satisfied with the hospice services.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 3/14/24 at 1:58 p.m., LVN A revealed Resident #16 used to receive hospice services but the services were terminated on 2/16/24. During a follow up interview on 3/14/24 at 2:07 p.m., the Social Worker revealed Resident #16's care plan should have been updated to reflect the resident was no longer receiving hospice services. The Social Worker further revealed she was responsible for updating the comprehensive care plan because the discussion to discontinue hospice services was revealed during a care plan meeting with Resident #16's family. The Social Worker stated it was important to ensure the comprehensive care plan was updated because it showed how to address the resident's problems. During an interview on 3/14/24 at 5:38 p.m., the DON stated Resident #16 used to receive hospice services but they were fired by the family member. The DON further revealed, Resident #16's comprehensive care plan should have been updated to reflect the resident was no longer receiving hospice services. The DON revealed it was important to update the comprehensive care plan because it was part of the record that was patient centered so everyone can know how to care for the patient. The DON revealed, the Social Worker had made herself responsible, but nursing also could have done it (update the comprehensive care plan), we're all responsible. 2. Record review of Resident #8's face sheet, dated 3/14/24 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included pressure ulcer of right heel stage 4 (wound that exposed underlying muscle, tendon, cartilage or bone), type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia (elevated cholesterol levels), dementia, seizures (central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness), pain and cerebral infarction (also known as a stroke; damage to tissues in the brain due to loss of oxygen to the area). Record review of Resident #8's most recent quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the BIMS score was a 9 which indicated the resident was moderately impaired for daily decision-making skills and had a stage 4 pressure ulcer. Record review of Resident #8's Order Summary Report, dated 3/14/24 revealed the following orders: - Patient to wear multi podus boot (the gray rigid brace) to R/L foot with anti-roll stand in place and toe guard to offload heel and protect toes from blanket, with order date 11/21/23 and no end date - Wound care to right heel, Pressure Ulcer Stage 4: Cleanse with Wound Cleanser, pat dry with gauze, apply skin prep to peri wound.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an observation on 3/14/24 at 8:12 a.m., Resident #8 was observed in the bed wearing soft offloading boots to both feet and there were two gray leg braces on the seat of the resident's wheelchair across from the bed. Residents Affected - Few During an observation and interview on 3/14/24 at 8:25 a.m., LVN Treatment Nurse B revealed Resident #8 wore soft offloading boots to both feet but used to wear the podus boot which was a brace but should only be using the soft offloading boots because the podus boot was causing more harm to the area rather than helping the wound to heal. The TX Nurse revealed the order for the podus boot should have been discontinued and the comprehensive care plan should have been updated to reflect the podus boot was no longer being used. LVN Treatment Nurse B stated it was important to update the comprehensive care plan because it would reflect the type of care in place, so everyone was consistent with Resident #8's care. LVN Treatment Nurse B revealed she was responsible for updating Resident #8's care plan and orders and the changes should have been updated immediately. During an interview on 3/14/24 at 10:59 a.m., PT E revealed Resident #8 used to use the podus boot while sitting up in the wheelchair, but the resident could no longer tolerate sitting up in the wheelchair. PT E revealed the order for the podus boot was a general order and should have been discontinued when the soft offloading boots were being utilized. During an interview on 3/14/24 at 5:45 p.m., the DON revealed, Resident #8's comprehensive care plan should have been updated to reflect the resident was no longer wearing the podus boot. The DON revealed it was important to update the comprehensive care plan because it was part of the record that was patient centered so everyone can know how to care for the patient.

The facility failed to remove a syringe with open needle attached from Resident #261's room. This deficient practice could place residents at risk of harm or injury and contribute to avoidable accidents. The findings included: Record review of Resident #261's face sheet, dated 03/14/2024, reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] to room [ROOM NUMBER]-A with a primary diagnosis of encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on the circulatory system. Record review of Resident 261's baseline care plan, dated 03/09/2024, reflected Resident #261 was independently ambulatory and received medications administered by nursing staff. Record review of Resident #261's order summary, dated 03/14/2024, reflected no medications administered via syringe or injection. Observation and interview on 03/13/2024 at 11:11 AM, revealed a syringe with needle attached inside an opened package resting on the bedside nightstand in room [ROOM NUMBER]. Resident #261 stated he had not seen the syringe on his bedside nightstand and stated he did receive an insulin injection that morning however they did not use a syringe and instead used an insulin-pen. Interview on 03/13/2024 at 11:15 AM, LVN L stated he was not aware of the syringe in room [ROOM NUMBER] and stated he had last rounded on the resident earlier this morning to provide him his insulin but stated he received it via an insulin pen. LVN L stated the syringe should not have been left in the room but stated he was not sure where the syringe would have been left from as Resident #261 did not receive any treatments or medications that would have utilized a syringe. LVN L stated the syringe did not appear to have been used as he did not observe any residual fluid in the syringe. LVN L stated he would dispose of the syringe immediately in the sharps container. Interview on 03/13/2024 at 4:09 PM, the DON stated she was made aware of the discovery of the syringe in room [ROOM NUMBER] but stated she was not able to identify which staff left the syringe but stated regardless of the staff responsible, the syringe should not have been left in Resident #261's room regardless as it presented a danger and risk for potential accident sticking without knowing if the needle was used or not.

The facility failed to ensure Resident #80 was provided with the correct water flushes before and after medication administration through a gastrostomy tube (g-tube, feeding tube). This failure could place residents who received medications by gastrostomy tube at risk for injury, aspiration into the lungs (fluid or food enter the lungs accidently), decreased quality of life, hospitalization and decline in health. The findings included: Record review of Resident #80's face sheet, dated 3/14/24 revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included type 2 diabetes (a chronic, long-lasting health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy), muscle wasting, gastroparesis (a condition that affects the stomach muscles and prevents proper stomach emptying), nausea with vomiting, heart failure, gastro-esophageal reflux disease (occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach [esophagus), and dysphagia oropharyngeal phase (difficulty swallowing occurring in the mouth and/or the throat). Record review of Resident #80's most recent quarterly MDS assessment, dated 12/20/23 revealed the resident was moderately cognitively impaired for daily decision-making skills and required a feeding tube. Record review of Resident #80's Order Summary Report, dated 3/14/24 revealed the following: - NPO (Nothing by mouth), with order date 12/16/23 and no end date -Enteral Feed Order every shift check g-tube placement and patency prior to each feeding/flushing/medication administration, with order date 12/16/23 and no end date -Enteral Feed Order every shift, flush g-tube with 30-50 ml (milliliters) of water before and after medication administration, with order date 12/16/23 and no end date -Flush peg tube (g-tube) with 180 ml of water every 6 hours, with order date 12/27/23 and no end date Record review of Resident #80's comprehensive care plan, revision date 12/17/23 revealed the resident had a g-tube in place related to a nutritional problem and diabetic gastroparesis and gastroesophageal reflux, with interventions that included water flushes via g-tube of 180 ml every 6 hours.

LVN A then emptied the 5 ml of water from the syringe and left the bedside to retrieve a new attachment for the g-tube. LVN A then again poured 5 ml of water instead of the ordered 30 ml to 50 ml of water prior to medication administration but could not get the water to drain into the g-tube. LVN A then emptied the syringe with 5 ml of water and left the bedside. LVN A then returned with a cup of gauze and poured normal saline into the cup. LVN A then cleaned Resident #80's g-tube stoma and placed a split sponge on the site. LVN A then replaced the attachment on the g-tube and checked for residual. LVN A then flushed the g-tube with 15 ml of water instead of the ordered 30 ml to 50 ml of water prior to medication administration and administered Resident #80's medications via the g-tube. At the end of the medication administration, LVN A then administered a final flush of 180 ml into Resident #80's g-tube instead of the ordered 30 ml to 50 ml of water. During an interview and observation on 3/14/24 at 10:13 a.m., LVN A revealed she had attempted to flush Resident #80's g-tube with 5 ml of water to ensure the water went into the g-tube by gravity but after reviewing the physician's orders realized she should have flushed the g-tube with 30 ml to 50 ml of water before and after medication administration. After reviewing Resident #80's orders in the computer realized the 180 ml of water flush was supposed to be given every 6 hours and did not apply to the medication administration. LVN A could not elaborate on how the inaccurate administration of the water flush would affect the resident. During an interview on 3/14/24 at 5:21 p.m., the DON revealed it was her expectation that the nursing staff follow the physician's orders when providing water flushes during the medication pass to Resident #80's g-tube. The DON revealed, if Resident #80 was not getting the correct water flushes it could result in the resident not getting enough or too much hydration. Record review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Medication Administration via Feeding Tube, revision dated 12/2023 revealed in part, .It is the policy of this facility to ensure that medications administered via feeding tube are administered safely and accurately .A physician's order is required for the administration of any medication via feeding tube .The order must specify .volume of water to be administered with the medication .The amount of water used to flush, mix and administer the medication must be considered when calculating the total free water prescribed by the physician .Flush the feeding tube with at least 30 ml of water or other prescribed flush .

The facility failed to obtain written consent before providing Resident #55 with Zoloft (an antidepressant used to treat depression). This deficient practice could affect residents who received psychotropics in the facility and put them at risk for adverse consequences such as impairment or decline in an individual's mental or physical condition or functional or psychosocial status. The findings included: Record review of Resident #55's face sheet, dated 03/14/2024, reflected an [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE] with a primary diagnosis of Postprocedural seroma of a circulatory system organ or structure following a circulatory system procedure (an abnormal accumulation of fluid in a circulatory system organ such as the heart) in addition to a diagnosis of depression. Record review of Resident #55's MDS, dated [DATE], reflected a summary BIMS score of 15, indicating cognitively intact. Record review of a psychoactive medication therapy informed consent form within Resident #55's EHR, date signed 02/28/2024, reflected empty fields for: the medication ordered, the related diagnosis, conditions treated, expected benefit, clinically significant side effects associated, or the purpose course of therapy in time. Interview on 03/14/2024 at 10:51 AM, LVN M stated the standard protocol when a new admission came into care would be to receive consent forms for any medications requiring consents such as psychotropics. She stated the psychotropic medications could not be provided until consent was obtained, and that would have been completed by the admitting nurse. LVN M stated the admitting nurse was LVN L but the consent signature was not able to be discerned in review. LVN M stated the consent form within Resident #55's EHR was incomplete and should not have been uploaded. LVN M stated the admitting nurse or whoever completed the consent form with the resident or the family should have caught the incomplete form but also the medical records. Interview on 03/14/2024 at 11:05 AM, Medical Records stated his role included uploading the medical forms that the nursing staff will leave in the outgoing paper tray to be uploaded into the resident's EHR, but also to review the forms for completion prior to uploading them. Medical Records stated when he notices the forms are incomplete was to return the form to the nurse who completed it and to have them complete the form or get the form completed prior to uploading them into the EHR. Medical Records stated he was unfamiliar with the purpose of the psychotropic consent form but stated he believed it was instrumental in providing the residents psychotropic medications appropriately. Medical Records stated the psychotropic consent form within Resident #55's EHR was incomplete and was not aware of it's completion at the time of uploading it. Medical Records stated he was not certain of the risk associated with the consent not being obtained.
