This survey cited 5 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

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 proper coordination of PASARR assessments for 1 (Resident #41) of 7 residents reviewed for PASARR screenings and evaluations. The facility failed to refer Resident #41 for a PASARR Level II evaluation despite her PASARR Level 1 indicated a diagnosis of MI. This failure could place residents with no PASARR Level II Evaluation at risk of not receiving specialized care and services to meet their needs or obtain their highest practicable well-being.Findings included: Review of Resident #41's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the following diagnoses: aphasia (communication disorder caused by damage to the brain that affects a person's ability to speak, understand, read, or write), malnutrition (imbalance in a person's intake of energy and nutrients, affecting overall health and development), bipolar disorder (extreme mood swings that affects the ability to think clearly), cognitive communication deficit (difficulties in communication that arise from impairments in cognitive processes), and senile degeneration of brain (progressive deterioration of brain tissue and function that occurs beyond normal aging). Resident #41 had a BIMS score of 07-indicating severe cognitive impairment. Review of Resident #41's comprehensive care plan dated 01/03/2025 reflected Resident #41 was care planned for being at risk for impaired cognitive function/dementia or impaired thought processes r/t bipolar disorder. The interventions included social services to provide psychosocial support as needed. She was also care planned for potential for a psychosocial well-being problem r/t report of lack of interest. The interventions included: pastoral care, social services, and psych services. In an interview on 02/12/2026 at 1:09 PM with the MDSC, she stated that she started working at the facility on 9/4/2025. She stated that the person who was in her position before she started there, had 2 PL1's for Resident #41 put into the system. She stated the 1st PL1 was incorrect, and the 2nd PL1, the system did not accept, and no one followed up to ensure the correct PL1 was transmitted. She stated that since the PL1 was not transmitted, it would not have alerted the LMHA to go conduct the PE for Resident #41. The MDSC stated that she would be responsible for filling out a 1012 form, which was a correction to the PL1, and then the LMHA would be notified to go to the facility and conduct the PE. In an interview on 02/12/2026 at 2:33 PM, with the ADM, she stated that she was aware that the 2nd (corrected) PASARR for Resident #41 did not get transmitted through the system. She stated that the previous MDSC had submitted those PASARR's. She stated that the current MDSC she had at the facility was very familiar with PASARR and submission guidelines. She stated that she did not think there would be a negative impact to Resident #41 because she was sure the resident would not qualify for services, but residents could lose out on additional services they qualified for. Review of the ‘PASRR in the NF Participant Manual' dated 8.13.2018 provided by the facility revealed under the ‘Nursing Facility PASRR Responsibility Checklist' Ensure positive Preadmission PL1's are faxed to the Local Intellectual and Developmental Disability (LIDDA) or Local Mental Health Authority (LMHA) and Monitor the Residents Affected - Few (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 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 establish a system of accurate reconciliation and removal of expired/discontinued medications from nursing med carts for 1 (500-hall med cart) of 4 med carts reviewed for pharmacy services and medication storage. The 500-hall nursing medication cart had a box of lubricant eye drops labeled for Resident #13 with an expiration date of 01/2026. The 500-hall nursing medication cart had two boxes of wound dressing with antibacterial silver with an expiration date of 07/01/2025. These failures had the potential risk of affecting 24 residents on 500-hall receiving medications from 500-hall med cart which could place them at risk for having non-therapeutic levels of medications and delayed healing.Findings included: In an observation on 2/11/2026 at 9:58 a.m. the 500-hall's nursing medication cart revealed a box with lubricant eye drops (for temporary relief from dry, burning, and irritated eyes) labeled for Resident #13 with an expiration date of 01/2026. In an observation on 2/11/2026 at 9:58 a.m., the 500-hall nursing medication cart had two boxes of wound dressing with antibacterial silver with expiration date of 07/01/2025. In an interview on 2/11/2026 at 9:08 a.m. with LVN B, she said she was trained on following medication storage policy a few months ago. She stated that this training included verifying each medication for expiration dates before administering medications to the residents and daily med carts checks when working on medication carts. She stated that charge nurses and medication aides were responsible for checking their medication carts daily for expiration dates and removing expired/discontinued medications from the med carts. She stated that potential risk to residents if they received expired medications could be not receiving the full therapeutic effect of medication. LVN B stated that expired wound dressing could reduce effectiveness of treating wounds. In an interview on 2/12/2026 at 1:36 p.m. with ADON B, he said he was trained on the facility's policy on medication storage annually and periodically throughout the year. He stated that each charge nurse and medication aides were responsible for cleaning each cart, checking for expired/discontinued medications and removing them from medication carts. He stated that DON and ADONs were auditing medication carts once a week. ADON B stated that when administered expired medication, it provided less therapeutic benefits for residents. In an interview on 2/12/2026 at 3:26 p.m. with the DON, she stated that she was trained on the facility's medication storage annually. She stated that staff was in-serviced throughout the year and on 02/11/2026 to check medication carts daily for any expired medications and remove from carts. She stated that expired medications if not administered could not harm residents in example of Systane lubricant eye drops for Resident #13. The DON stated that medications should be removed from the med carts if expired or discontinued to reduce risk of administering expired medication to residents. She stated that potentially if expired medications were administered to residents, it could reduce the therapeutic effect of medication to treat their medical conditions. In an interview on 2/12/2026 at 4:06 p.m. with ADM A, she said she did not have any training on medication storage, but all nursing staff were trained on medication storage and were supposed to verify medication expiration dates before administering medications and remove expired medications from the medication carts. She stated that DON, ADONs, charge nurses and medication aides were responsible for monitoring their medication carts for expiration dates and proper labeling medications. She stated that potentially if not properly labeled and provided expired medication to residents, it would not provide intended therapeutic effect to treat their medical conditions.
