If the diagnosis came after, the resident should have been evaluated by the Authority. If a resident has Bipolar, Depression, Schizophrenia or any diagnosis that could make them eligible for PASSR services they should be evaluated when that diagnosis is presented. If the Resident is not evaluated correctly, they will not get the services they are supposed to receive. After being asked by the Survey team about whether or not Resident #62 had been evaluated for PASRR services we started auditing and are putting a new process into place to ensure the PASSR evaluations are completed.

Resident #8 also had a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and should have been marked positive on the PASRR I screening.

Dispose of garbage and refuse properly.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to dispose garbage and refuse properly for 2 of 2 dumpsters reviewed for proper storage of garbage and refuse in that:
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to keep the dumpsters lids closed and the area free of trash and outside of the dumpster. This failure could affect the residents placing them at risk for infection and a decreased quality of life due to having an exterior environment which could attract flying pests, rodents and other animals. The evidence is as follows: On 10/03/2023 at 10:05 a.m. the following observations and interviews were made: Two dumpsters enclosed in a locked fence behind a solid enclosure. Items on the ground in various places on the outside of the dumpsters on the ground were identified by the DM as bags of trash on both sides of each dumpster that should have been placed in the dumpsters. The dumpster lids were pushed back and all dumpster lids for the two dumpsters were completely opened. There was one bag of trash torn and partially opened hanging out the side door of one dumpster exposing food items. During an interview with the DM, while viewing the dumpster area, on 10/03/2023 at 10:05 a.m., the DM stated, we got a tag for the same thing last year, they should not be like that the trash is supposed to be inside with the lids closed. The DM did not comment further. During an interview with the Administrator, on 10/06/2023 a.m. at 4:51 p.m., the Administrator said, I did see the dumpsters, I immediately called the dumpster company and asked them to come and empty the dumpsters. They came on Tuesday afternoon and emptied them. The lids should have been closed and they were not. They should have been closed so nothing comes out and for sanitation reasons. I do not think that affects the residents in any way. Record review of a policy, Food related Garbage and Rubbish Disposal, Revised December 2008, provided by the Administrator prior to exit revealed: 1. All garbage and rubbish containing food wastes shall be kept in containers. 2. All garbage and rubbish containers shall be provided with tight-fitting lids or covers and must be kept covered when stored or not in continuous use. 5. Garbage and rubbish containing food wastes will be stored in a manner that is inaccessible to vermin. 7. Outside dumpsters provided by garbage pick up service will be kept closed and free of surrounding litter.
