F 0552 Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments. 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 inform residents in advance of the risks and benefits of proposed care for 3 (Residents #16, #179, #12) out of 35 residents reviewed for antipsychotics in that: Residents Affected - Some 1. The facility failed to obtain a written consent for the administration of Seroquel (antipsychotic) 25mg 1 PO Q12hr from Resident #16 or his legal representative. 2. The facility failed to obtain a written consent for the administration of Risperidone (antipsychotic) 1mg PO BID and Seroquel (antipsychotic) 50mg PO QHS from Resident #179 or her legal representative. 3. The facility failed to obtain a written consent ftom Resident #12 or his legal representative, for the administration of Imipramine HCL (antidepressant) 10mg 1 PO QHS, until ten days after the resident had already been taking the medication. This failure could place residents at risk of unwanted adverse drug reactions, risks of treatment the residents did not consent to, and from seeking alternative treatment. Findings include: 1. Record review of Resident #16's face sheet printed 6/8/23, indicated he is a [AGE] year-old male, admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of anxiety disorder (intense fear/terror), Parkinson's disease (uncontrollable movements of the body), unspecified dementia (loses ability to think, remember, learn, make decisions, and solve problems), and depression (intense sad, loneliness, loss of interest/pleasure in daily activities). Record review of Resident #16's MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 7 out of 15, indicating severely impaired cognition, the resident required extensive assistance in multiple ADLs, used a wheelchair, had no hallucinations or behavioral/delusional problems, and had not taken antipsychotics before, but had taken antidepressants. Record review of Resident #16's chart revealed a medication order for Seroquel Tablet 25mg 1 PO Q12hr for hallucinations, that was ordered on 10/5/22 at 6:25pm by APRN [NAME]. Record review of Resident #16's chart revealed there was no consent in the chart for Seroquel. On 6/8/23 at 3:10pm, the facility submitted a consent with the provider's signature on it, but not the LAR's, for Seroquel 25mg 1 PO Q12hr, that was signed and dated on 6/8/23.

She stated she spoke to the family/resident about the medication and the risks/benefits of it, and usually documented the conversation and the outcome in her note. She said the staff would then fill out the written consent and would put it in her binder she kept at the nurse's station, to be signed by her. Per the MD, every day she looked through the binder and signed new orders or consents that were in it. She also said staff should look for a consent before they gave the medication for the first time, to ensure it had been done. Record review of the facility's Psychoactive Medication Administration Policy (1/10) read in part: It is the policy to ensure all psychoactive medications are .not given without appropriate consent. 1.

F 0640 Encode each resident’s assessment data and transmit these data to the State within 7 days of assessment. 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 electronically transmit encoded, accurate, and complete MDS data to the CMS System within 14 days after the facility completed the resident's assessment for 1 of 3 closed records reviewed for MDS assessments. (CR #6) Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to transmit to the CMS system CR #6's discharge MDS assessment dated [DATE]. This failure could place the residents at risk for not having the MDS assessment transmitted as required. Findings include: CR #6 Electronic Record review of CR #6 revealed she was a-[AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her Diagnoses included Urinary tract infection, Diabetes Mellitus, muscle weakness, cerebral ischemia, and Gout disease. CR #6 was discharged from the facility on 01/02/2023. Record review of CR#6 discharge MDS revealed it was completed on 01/02/2023 but not transmitted. Interview with the DON on 06/08/2023 at 2:00PM, she said the MDS should have been transmitted. She said she would find out what happened because she was not at the facility on 01/02/23. The facility's policy was requested at this time. Facility's policy on MDS transmission was not provided prior to exit on 06/08/23 at 5:00PM. The facility's Administrator and DON said they will E-mail the policy but was not received. . 676306 Page 5 of 18 676306 06/08/2023 Holly Hall 2000 Holly Hall St Houston, TX 77054
F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 develop and implement baseline care plan with the necessary information to provide care for each resident within 48 hours of admission for 3 residents reviewed for baseline care plans (Resident # 79, 179, 182). --The facility failed to include required components in the base-line care plans for Residents #79 admitted [DATE], #179 admitted [DATE], and #182 admitted [DATE]. This failure could affect newly admitted residents and place them at risk of not receiving proper care and services based on their current conditions for continuity of care. Findings include: Resident #79 Record review of Resident #79's face sheet revealed admission date of 6/1/23, with diagnoses including stress fracture, hip, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing, anemia (deficiency of red blood cells in blood), hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure (severe failure of the heart to function properly), acute kidney failure (inability of kidneys to filter waste from the blood), chronic kidney disease (longstanding disease of kidneys leading to renal failure), weakness. Observation and interview with Resident # 79 on 6/6/23 at 10:10 am revealed she was sitting on the side of her bed, with her walker at bedside. In interview at that time, she said she needed help to get up and she was waiting for someone to help. She said she does have physical therapy and they are doing a good job. Record review of Resident # 79's skilled evaluation dated 6/7/23 revealed a narrative note which read, in part: .resident continues skilled services, alert and cooperative, ambulates with walker in room with limited assist, participates in therapy per doctors' orders, sits in chair for meals, no respiratory distress noted, no c/o pain this shift . Record review of Resident #79's baseline care plan, dated 6/1/23, revealed there were 2 focus areas listed: I am at high risk for falls, and I have one or more pressure ulcers or potential for pressure ulcer development. The baseline care plan did not include admitting diagnosis, code status, assistance needed to complete daily skills, therapy orders, or required after- care for hip fracture.

Record review of Resident #179's baseline care plan dated 6/1/23, revealed the resident had one focus area listed: Resident have little or no activity involvement r/t focus on rehab and recovery. The care plan did not list the resident's code status, fall risk, admission diagnosis, or that the resident was receiving IV antibiotics. Record review of Resident #179's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated under section A1700 and A1800 that the resident was admitted from an acute hospital. Resident had a BIMS score of 0 out of 15, indicating her cognition was severely impaired. Section G0600 of the MDS revealed the resident used a walker.

Resident #182 Record review of Resident #182's face sheet indicated he's an [AGE] year-old male, admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of Parkinson's disease (brain disorder that causes uncontrollable movements), repeated falls, and unspecified atrial fibrillation (arrhythmia of the heart where the beat is irregular). Record review of Resident #182's baseline care plan, printed 6/8/23, revealed the resident had one focus area listed: I am high risk for falls r/t trying to get out of bed, not asking for assistance and/or waiting for assistance. Care plan does not reference the resident's code status, admission diagnosis, the Dementia or Parkinson's, or any other areas the resident requires to meet their needs. Resident #182's MDS was not available when requested, due to the resident being a new admission on 676306 Page 7 of 18 676306 06/08/2023 Holly Hall 2000 Holly Hall St Houston, TX 77054
F 0655 [DATE]. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Record review of Resident #182's history and physical performed by APRN [NAME] on 6/2/23, revealed the resident had Parkinson's and dementia, requires pain management with Tramadol, is bed confined/dependent for transfers and gait, is on Eliquis and will need to be monitored for bleeding, has depression and is on Wellbutrin and Trazodone, and needs max assist with ADLs and personal care. Residents Affected - Some Record review of Resident #182's hospital medical records from Texas NeuroRehab Center dated 5/23/23 at 10:45am, revealed a minced and moist with thin liquids diet, and 1:1 assistance with meals. Record review of Resident #182's new admission report sheet dated 6/2/23 revealed a diagnosis of Parkinson's, a diet of minced and moist, a full code status, he required a hoyer lift for transfer, and he required his meds to be taken in pudding. Interview with the DON, on 6/8/23 at 10:47am, she revealed baseline care plans were created by the nurse who admitted the resident. She stated the care plan should be created as soon as the resident was admitted , but if not by the current nurse, then definitely by the nurse in the next shift. According to the DON, the baseline care plan should include at a minimum, the admitting diagnosis, fall risk, code status, and basic things the resident required to meet their needs. She said it should also include interventions for resident's that had needs that were not being met. Per the DON, if the baseline care plan did not have the necessary information or was not updated, the facility would not have an adequate treatment plan for the resident, and they would not be meeting the needs of the resident. Interview with MDS coordinator on 6/8/23 at 12:15 pm revealed they are trying to clean up the care plans and MDS assessments from the previous MDS nurse. She said the baseline care plan needs to be done within 48 hours of admission and is done by the admitting nurse and should contain the resident needs for care. She said the MDS coordinator was responsible for enusuring the care plans were accurate with information from the IDT team. Record review of the facility policy on Preliminary care Plans, undated, revealed, in part: .preliminary care plan will be developed within 24 hours of the resident's admission .the preliminary care plan will be used until staff can conduct the comprehensive assessment. . 676306 Page 8 of 18 676306 06/08/2023 Holly Hall 2000 Holly Hall St Houston, TX 77054
F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. 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 that a resident who needs respiratory care, is provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice for 1 (Resident #181) out of 1 resident sampled for respiratory care in that: Residents Affected - Few LPN TS failed to assess Resident #181, including his lungs, before providing respiratory treatment. This failure could place residents at risk for a change in condition. Findings include: Record review of Resident #181's face sheet printed 6/8/23, indicated he is a [AGE] year-old male, admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of disorder of urea cycle metabolism (genetic condition that causes ammonia to build up in the blood), hypo-osmolality and hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood), hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood), rhabdomyolysis (damaged muscle tissue that release proteins and electrolytes into the blood), other acute kidney failure (sudden failure of the kidneys), and hypothermia (low body temperature). Record review revealed no MDS data for Resident #181. Record review of Resident #181's medical record revealed an order for Budesonide Inhalation Suspension .25mg/2ml, 4ml via nebulizer BID for bronchodilation (widening of the airways), ordered by APRN [NAME] on 6/6/23 at 10:57pm. Observation of LPN TS on 6/7/23 at 9:50am, revealed she instilled the Budesonide Inhalation Suspension .25mg/2ml, 4ml into the nebulizer cup and attached it to the mask. LPN then went into the room of Resident #181 and attached the mask to the nebulizer machine at the bedside and turned it on. The machine was not working, and medication was not coming out of the nebulizer. LPN TS went and retrieved a new machine and attached the mask with the medication to it. She placed the mask on Resident #181 and turned the nebulizer on. Medication was coming out of the nebulizer on the resident's face. She checked the resident's oxygen saturation on his finger after the machine was on, and it was 93%. LPN TS did not assess Resident #181's lungs, heart, or respirations at any point before administering the treatment. Interview with LPN TS on 6/7/23 at 10:15am, she stated the last time she assessed Resident #181's lungs were at the start of her shift at 7am. She said it was policy to assess the resident's lungs before and after treatment. She also said that Resident #181's lung sounds could have changed between 7am and 10am, and she would have missed the change in condition without assessing the resident. Record review revealed no care plan for Resident #181. Record review of the facility's policy and procedures for Administering Medications Through a Small Volume (Handheld) Nebulizer (Revised October 20110) read in part: Steps in the Process: 6. Obtain baseline pulse, respiratory rate and lung sounds. Reporting: 4. Notify the Physician if the pulse rate during treatment increases 20 percent above baseline. . 676306 Page 9 of 18 676306 06/08/2023 Holly Hall 2000 Holly Hall St Houston, TX 77054
F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that drug records were in order and that an account of all controlled drugs was maintained for 1 (Hall 200 Nurse Cart) out of 3 medication carts sampled for medication storage in that: -Hall 200 Nurse's Cart (Labeled HC South) had an actual count of 8 Tramadol 50mg tablets for Resident #182, when the resident's-controlled drug receipt/record/disposition form documented 11. This failure could place residents at risk of running out of their medications by the facility not ordering the medication timely, and risk of maintaining their highest practicable mental, physical, and psychosocial well-being. Findings Include: Record review of Resident #182's face sheet printed 6/8/23, indicated he is an [AGE] year-old male, admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of Parkinson's disease (uncontrollable movements of the body), repeated falls, and atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm). Record review of the facility's Controlled Drugs-Count Record for the Hall 200 (HC South) Nurse's cart for June 2023, reviewed on 6/8/23 at 10:37am, revealed missing signatures for the date of 6/7/23. The 7am to 3pm off going nurse and 3pm to 11pm on coming nurse for 6/7/23 did not sign the sheet, acknowledging they counted the controlled drugs on hand and agreed with the quantity of each medication, matched the number on the Controlled Drug Administration Record. Record review of Resident #182's Controlled Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition Form reviewed on 6/8/23 at 10:37am, revealed on 6/6/23 there were 11 Tramadol 50mg tabs, and the resident was ordered to have the medication 1 tablet TID. The date of 6/7/23 was not entered on the log. Observation of the nurse's medication cart for Hall 200 (HC South) on 6/8/23 at 10:37am, revealed a count of 8 tabs of Tramadol 50mg for Resident #182. The ADON and RN VK confirmed a count of 8 tabs of Tramadol 50mg for Resident #182. Interview with the ADON on 6/8/23 at 10:40am, she stated it was policy for the nurses to count the controlled medications at shift change. Interview with RN VK on 6/8/23 at 10:40am, she stated staff were expected to count the medication cart at the start and end of every shift. She said she did not count prior to her shift today because the off going nurse was in a rush and was not able to stay for the medication count. Per RN VK, she should have notified the DON if the previous shift was unable to stay for the medication count and will do so going forward. Also, RN VK said if she did not count the medication cart and the count was off, drug diversion could be suspected, and she could be in trouble. Record review of the facility's policy and procedures for Controlled Substances (revised December 2012) read in part: Policy Interpretation and Implementation: 9. Nursing staff must count controlled medications at the end of each shift. The nurse coming on duty and the nurse going off duty must make the count together. They must document and report any discrepancies to the Director of Nursing 676306 Page 10 of 18 676306 06/08/2023 Holly Hall 2000 Holly Hall St Houston, TX 77054
F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Services. 10. The Director of Nursing Services shall investigate any discrepancies in narcotics reconciliation to determine the cause and identify responsible parties and shall give the Administrator a written report of such findings. 11. The Director of Nursing Services shall consult with the provider pharmacy and the Administrator to determine whether any further legal action is indicated. Residents Affected - Few . 676306 Page 11 of 18 676306 06/08/2023 Holly Hall 2000 Holly Hall St Houston, TX 77054
F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents were free from unnecessary anti-psychotropic drugs, and residents who use anti-psychotropic drugs receive gradual dose reductions, unless clinically contraindicated, for 3 (Resident #16, Resident #179, Resident #12) of 35 residents reviewed for Psychotropic Medication use in that: 1. Resident #16 did not have an adequate indication for usage of Seroquel (antipsychotic) 25mg BID. Resident #16 did not have an adequate reason documented as to why a gradual dose reduction of the Seroquel 25mg BID was not done, and the resident had been on it since 10/5/22. 2. Resident #179 did not have an adequate indication for usage of Risperidone (antipsychotic) 1mg PO BID and Seroquel 50mg QHS. 3. Resident #12 did not have an adequate indication for usage of Imipramine (antidepressant) 10mg QD. These failures could place residents at risk of maintaining their highest practicable mental, physical, and psychosocial well-being, as well as risk for potential adverse drug reactions. Findings include: 1. Record review of Resident #16's face sheet printed 6/8/23, indicated he is a [AGE] year-old male, admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of anxiety disorder (intense fear/terror), Parkinson's disease (uncontrollable movements of the body), unspecified dementia (loses ability to think, remember, learn, make decisions, and solve problems), and depression (intense sad, loneliness, loss of interest/pleasure in daily activities). Record review of Resident #16's MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 9 out of 15, indicating moderately impaired cognition. Section C1310 asked about signs and symptoms of delirium, and No was selected for any evidence of an acute change in mental status from baseline.
