Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review the facility failed to refer residents with a newly evident or possible serious
mental disorder for a level II assessment for 2 of 5 residents reviewed for PASRR. (Resident #7 and
Resident #15)
The facility failed to refer Resident #7 for a PASRR level II assessment when he was diagnosed with a new
mental illness.
The facility failed to refer Resident #15 for the PASRR Level II assessment, when Resident #15's PASRR
Level I Screening did not indicate a diagnosis of mental illness, although the diagnosis was present upon
admission.
This failure could place residents with positive PASRR at risk of not receiving services which would
enhance their highest level of functioning and could contribute to residents decline in physical, mental and
psychosocial well-being.
Findings included:
1. Record review of the face sheet (undated) and consolidated physicians orders dated 4/5/2023 indicated
Resident #7 was a [AGE] year old male re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of
schizophrenia(kind of psychosis, which means your mind doesn't agree with reality) onset 4/19/22,
Psychotic disorder (A mental disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality) with delusions due to
known psychological condition onset 4/18/22, intermittent explosive disorder (repeated, sudden episodes of
impulsive, aggressive, violent behavior or angry verbal outbursts in which you react grossly out of
proportion to the situation) onset 3/19/22, major depressive disorder onset 11/19/20 and anxiety onset
9/14/20.
Record review of the comprehensive MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #7 made himself understood
and understood others. The MDS indicated Resident #7 had a BIMS score of 15 (cognitively intact). The
MDS indicated Resident #7 had no indicators of psychosis and no behavioral symptoms. The MDS
indicated Resident #7 had psychological / mood disorders including anxiety, depression, psychotic disorder
and schizophrenia.
Record review of the comprehensive care plan, last revised on 8/19/22, indicated Resident #7 used
psychotropic medications antidepressant, antipsychotic, and antianxiety related to depression,
schizophrenia, and anxiety. The MDS did not indicate any PASRR information.

Record review of a PASRR Level 1 screening dated 10/20/21 indicated Resident #7 had no evidence or
indicators of mental illness. The level 1 screening indicated Resident #7 had no evidence or indicators of
intellectual disability. The level 1 screening indicated Resident #7 had no evidence or indicators Resident #7
had a developmental disability.
During an interview on 4/5/2023 at 11:00 a.m., the MDS nurse said Resident #7 had not been diagnosed
with schizophrenia or psychosis when the level 1 PASRR screening was completed on 10/20/21. The MDS
nurse said she had not completed a form 1012 since he had the new diagnosis.
During an interview on 4/5/2023 at 1:53 p.m., The MDS nurse said a form 1012 was done to correct a
PASRR or when a resident received a new diagnosis. The MDS nurse said the form alerted PASRR to do
an assessment. The MDS nurse said it was important this was completed to establish if the resident was
PASRR positive or negative and if positive to have a meeting and determine if the resident needed or
wanted any services for his behaviors. The MDSD nurse said she was usually alerted when a resident
received new diagnosis so that the PASRR could be updated as needed. She said she was not sure why
she had not done the 1012 form. The MDS nurse said she would submit a form 1012 for Resident #7 today
considering his diagnosis.
During an interview on 4/5/23 at 1:56 p.m., the ADON said the MDS nurse was responsible for ensuring
PASRR evaluations were completed and updated.
During an interview on 4/5/223 at 2:05 p.m., the DON said PASRR evaluations and updates were the
responsibility of the MDS nurse. The DON said PASRR should be updated if a resident received any new
qualifying diagnosis. The DON said this was important to ensure residents were receiving all the services
they were entitled to.
During an interview on 4/5/2023 at 2:15 p.m., the administrator said the MDS Coordinator was responsible
for completing and updating PASRR evaluations. She said the regional resource team looked over and
checked to ensure these were being completed on admission and as needed. The administrator said this
was important to identify any residents needing PASRR services.
2. Record review of Resident #15's face sheet dated 4/5/23 revealed she was a [AGE] year-old female, who
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #15 had diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder (mental health
disorder with a combination of symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorder, such as depression or
bipolar), suicidal ideations (thinking about or planning to take their own life), major depressive disorder
(mental health disorder characterized by persistent depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing
impairment in daily life), and anxiety (feeling of worry, unease).
Record review of Resident #15's admission MDS dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS of 00, indicating
she was severely cognitively impaired. Resident #15 required extensive to total assistance of 1-2 persons
for most ADLs. Resident #15 was not considered by the state level II PASRR process to have a serious
mental illness and/or intellectual disability or related condition. Resident #15 had active diagnoses of
depression and schizoaffective disorder.
Record review of Resident #15's hospital records dated 1/23/23 revealed she was admitted to the hospital
for intracranial hemorrhage (brain bleed-stroke) and had an active problem list that included suicidal
ideations, major depressive disorder, anxiety, brief psychotic disorder (sudden onset of psychotic behavior
that lasts less than a month followed by complete remission with possible future relapses), hallucinations,
and schizoaffective disorder.

Record review of Resident #15's PASRR Level I Screening completed by the MDS Coordinator, dated
1/27/23, indicated Resident #15 had no evidence or indicators of Mental Illness, Intellectual Disability, or
Developmental Disability.
Record review of Resident #15's corrected PASRR Level I Screening, completed by the MDS Coordinator,
dated 4/4/23 indicated Resident #15 had Mental Illness.
During an interview on 4/4/23 at 2:38 PM, the MDS Coordinator said she was responsible for ensuring the
PASRR screenings were completed accurately and coordinating with the local authority. The MDS
Coordinator said most residents' Level I PASRR Screenings were completed by the referring facility prior to
the resident admitting to the facility. The MDS Coordinator said she would then review the PASRR Level I
Screening and the resident's records to ensure the PASRR Level I Screening was completed accurately
and the resident did not have any diagnoses that would prompt the need for the Level II PASRR evaluation.
The MDS Coordinator said Resident #15 did not have a PASSR Level I Screening upon admission to the
facility from an outside facility. The MDS Coordinator said she completed Resident #15's PASRR Level I
Screening and she just missed Resident #15 had diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder, suicidal ideation,
anxiety, and major depressive disorder. The MDS Coordinator said Resident #15's PASRR Level 1 should
have indicated the resident had severe mental illness and a referral should have been sent to the local
authority for the Level II PASRR evaluation. The MDS Coordinator said when the surveyor requested copies
of Resident #15's PASRR on 4/04/23, she realized she missed the mental illness on the PASRR Level I
Screening. The MDS Coordinator said she then completed a corrected PASRR Level I Screening dated
4/04/23 and sent the referral to the local authority.
During an interview on 4/5/23 at 2:44 PM, the DON said she was still learning about PASRR, but she knew
it indicated if a resident had mental illness, intellectual disability, or development disability and determined if
the resident would qualify for addition services and/or equipment. She said the MDS Coordinator was
responsible for ensuring the PASRRs were completed accurately regardless of if the PASRR was
completed outside the facility or completed within the facility. The DON said if the residents' PASRR Level I
Screenings was not completed accurately, the resident could miss out on additional services and/or
equipment to meet their mental illness, intellectual and developmental disability needs.
During an interview on 4/05/23 at 3:13 PM the Administrator said PASRR Screenings were completed to
determine if residents with mental illness, intellectual disabilities, and/or developmental disabilities qualified
for additional services through the local authority. The Administrator said the MDS Coordinator was
responsible for ensuring the PASRR Screenings were completed accurately to ensure residents with mental
illness, intellectual and developmental disabilities received the necessary services to improve their quality
of life.
Record review of a policy revised on 5/10/21 titled Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR)
indicated its purpose was to identify residents with mental illness, intellectual disability or developmental
disability / related conditions and to ensure they are properly placed, where in the community or in a
nursing facility and to ensure they receive the services they require for their mental illness, or intellectual
disability/developmental disability. The policy indicated a nursing facility could convene an interdisciplinary
team more often than on admission and annually. Reasons for significant changes can include: the resident
experiences a serious health decline and the services previously agreed to may have to be modified or
deleted.

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
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan for each
resident that includes the instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care of the resident
that meet professional standards of quality care within 48 hours of a resident's admission including the
minimum healthcare information necessary to properly care for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for new
admissions (Resident #28)
The facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan within 48 hours of admission for Resident
#28.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving care and services to meet their needs.
Findings included:
1. Record review Resident #28's face sheet dated 2/16/23 revealed he was an [AGE] year-old male, who
admitted to the facility on hospice services on 2/28/23. Resident #28 had diagnoses of congestive heart
failure (heart does not pump blood as well as it should), Alzheimer's (progressive mental deterioration that
could occur in middle or old age, due to generalized degeneration of the brain), and atherosclerotic heart
disease of native coronary artery (plaque buildup in the walls of the blood vessels that supply blood to the
heart).
Record review of Resident #28's admission MDS revealed it had not been completed at time of his
death/discharge on [DATE].
Record review of Resident #28's Physician Orders indicated he had wounds to his coccyx (tailbone), right
buttock, left buttock, both knees, both wrists, and left upper arm for which he received wound care. He had
orders for a fall mat while in bed and a pressure reducing cushion to his wheelchair. Resident #28 required
oxygen as needed for shortness of breath and comfort measures. Resident #28 had a DNR order. He was
on a regular diet. Resident #28 had orders for Tylenol, morphine, and tramadol for pain, along with
lorazepam for anxiety (feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease about an imminent event or uncertain
outcome).
Record review of Resident #28's baseline care plan revealed it had been completed on 3/06/23.
Record review of Resident #28's progress notes ranging from 2/28/23-3/10/23 revealed the resident was
admitted to the facility from home for respite care (temporary institutional care of a sick, elderly, or disabled
person, providing relief for their usual caregiver) on hospice services. Resident #28 was at risk for falls and
needed frequent reminders to use the call light to prevent falls. He had a fall mat at his bedside for safety.
Resident #28 had oxygen for low oxygen levels. The admission assessment/baseline care plan summary
was dated 3/06/23 at 2:59 PM.
During an interview on 4/05/23 at 2:12 PM, RN B said the admission nurse was responsible for completing
the Admission/readmission evaluation documentation within 24 hours of the admission and the baseline
care plan was part of the Admission/readmission evaluation. RN B said she believed the DON had to sign
off on the Admission/readmission evaluation/baseline care plan before it could be completed. RN B said

Admission/readmission evaluation/baseline care plan until the DON reviewed it. RN B said the purpose of
the baseline care plan was to outline the resident's care specific to the resident. RN B indicated if a
baseline care plan was not completed timely, it could place the resident at risk of not having their needs
met if the proper care interventions were not put in place.
During an interview on 4/05/23 at 2:27 PM, the ADON said the admitting charge nurse was responsible for
completing the baseline care plan. The ADON said the baseline care plan was part of the
Admission/readmission evaluation and should be completed within 24 hours of admission. The ADON said
Resident #28 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and the baseline care plan was completed on 3/06/23.
The ADON said the baseline care plan was outside the required timeframe and should have been
completed within 24 hours of admission. The ADON indicated the purpose of the baseline care plan was to
guide the care of the resident and implement interventions to meet the resident's needs. The ADON said
the care and needs of the resident would not be met if the baseline care plan was not completed timely.
During an interview on 4/5/23 at 2:44 PM, the DON said the admission nurse was responsible for
completing the Admission/readmission evaluation and the baseline care plan was part of that evaluation.
The DON said she reviewed the Admission/readmission evaluation and baseline care plan after the
admitting nurse to ensure it included all the needed care areas for the resident and then she signed off on
it. The DON said the baseline care plan should be completed within 48 hours of admission. The DON
indicated the purpose of the baseline care plan was to meet the needs of the resident, it showed what the
risks were for the resident, and what interventions were needed to meet the resident's needs. The DON
said if the baseline care plan was not completed timely, the interventions may not have been put in place to
keep the resident safe and properly meet the resident's needs. The DON said Resident #28's baseline care
plan was late because she was out of the facility at a training, and she was unable to sign off and complete
the baseline care plan until she returned. The DON said she was going to implement training other RNs in
the facility to review and sign off on the baseline care plans in her absence to ensure the baseline care
plans would be completed timely going forward.
During an interview on 4/5/23 at 3:13 PM, the Administrator said the baseline care plan was completed by
the admission nurse and the DON and ADON followed up on it. The Administrator said the purpose of the
baseline care plan was to determine the base level of care needed to meet the resident's needs until the
comprehensive care plan was completed. The Administrator indicated if the baseline care plan was not
completed timely, it would not communicate the needs of the resident to all the care staff. She said the
baseline care plan should be completed within 48 hours of the resident admitting to the facility.
Record review of the facility Care Plans-Baseline Process dated 3/2020 revealed . it was the policy of the
center to create a baseline plan of care to meet the resident's immediate needs and shall be developed for
each resident within forty-eight hours of admission . the baseline care plan would be started by the
admitting nurse .

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 respiratory care was provided
consistent with professional standards of practice for 2 of 14 residents reviewed for respiratory care.
(Resident #12 and Resident #18).
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to properly store Resident #12 and Resident #18's respiratory equipment.
The facility failed to change the oxygen humidifier bottle for Resident #12 in a timely manner.
These failures could place residents at risk of respiratory infections.
Findings included:
1. Record review of the face sheet dated 04/05/23 revealed Resident #12 was [AGE] years old and
admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including congestive heart failure (a chronic condition in which the heart
does not pump blood as well as it should), shortness of breath, and acute respiratory failure with hypoxia
(results from acute or chronic impairment of gas exchange between the lungs and the blood causing low
oxygen levels).
Record review of Resident #12's physician's orders dated 04/04/23 revealed an order dated 12/16/22 for
oxygen at 2 L (liters) via nasal cannula to maintain oxygen saturation above 92%. The orders did not
indicate an order for changing oxygen tubing or humidifier bottles.
Record review of a quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed Resident #12 had a BIMS of 15, which indicated
no cognitive impairment. Resident #12 required supervision to limited assistance with ADLs. The MDS
indicated Resident #12 received oxygen therapy and had shortness of breath on exertion and while at rest.
Record review of a care plan dated 02/24/23 indicated Resident #12 had cardiac disease and altered
respiratory status/difficulty breathing with an intervention to administer oxygen as ordered per physician.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 04/04/23 at 3:26 p.m., the DON said the facility did not have a policy concerning
how to store nasal cannulas or nebulizers when not in use. She said the facility did not have a policy
concerning how often the tubing or humidifier bottles should be changed. She said each resident had a
doctor's order for storage and changing tubing. She said when oxygen tubing was not in use it should be
stored in a bag and tubing should be changed weekly.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 04/05/23 at 10:55 a.m., CNA A said the nurses change out the nasal cannulas every
Sunday on the 10 - 6 shift. She said when nasal cannulas were not in use, they should be stored in a bag.
During an interview on 04/05/23 at 11:16 a.m., RN B said oxygen tubing was changed on the night shift
once a week and as needed. She he said nasal cannulas and humidifier bottles should both be changed
once a week and dated when changed. She said this was documented on the nursing medication
administration record. She said if Resident #12 did not have an order for changing the tubing it would not be
on the administration record. She said there should have been a bag in the room for Resident 12's nasal
cannula. She said she did not think Resident 12 would have kept it in a bag. She said if the humidifier bottle
was dated 3/20/23, it should have been changed before 04/03/23.
During an interview on 04/05/23 at 1:20 p.m., the ADON said she was also the Infection Prevention Nurse.
She said there was usually an order on nursing medication administration record for tubing to be changed
on Sundays. She said Resident #12 was very OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). She said the date on
the humidifier bottle of 3/20 indicated the bottle and tubing should have been changed on 4/2/23. She said
oxygen tubing not being stored properly or not being changed once a week was an infection control issue.
During an interview on 04/05/23 at 1:37 p.m., the DON said oxygen tubing and humidified bottles should be
changed every 7 days on Sunday. She said the bag for Resident 12's nasal cannula could have been in her
drawer. She said the oxygen tubing should have been stored in a bag when not in use.
During an interview on 04/05/23 at 2:15 p.m., the Administrator said oxygen tubing and humidifier bottles
should be changed every 7 days. She said the nasal cannula for Resident #12 should have been changed
on 04/02/23 by the 10 - 6 nurses. She said, typically, any oxygen tubing would be stored in a bag when not
in use.
2. Record review Resident #18's face sheet dated 4/03/23 revealed she was a [AGE] year-old female, who
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #18 had diagnoses of anemia (deficiency of red blood cells in
the blood), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (constriction of the airways and difficulty or discomfort in
breathing), cerebral infarction (caused from disruption of blood flow to the brain due problems with the
blood vessels that supply the brain), dementia (progressive or persistent loss of intellectual functioning,
impairment in memory, thinking, personality change caused by disease of the brain), hypertension (high
blood pressure), atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery (plaque buildup in the walls of the
blood vessels that supply blood to the heart), and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (irregular, often rapid heart
rate that causes poor blood flow).
Record review of Resident #18's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS of 13, which
indicated she was cognitively intact. Resident #18 required limited to extensive assistance of one person for
most ADLs. Resident #18 required oxygen therapy.
Record review Resident #18's undated Physician Orders revealed she received levalbuterol HCL 0.63mg

per 3ml by nebulized inhalation every six hours as needed for shortness of breath. Resident #18 had orders
to change or replace humidifier bottle, date and initial, and change oxygen tubing, date and initial, every
Sunday on night shift. There was not an order specific to changing the storage bag of the nebulizer mask
and tubing.
Record review of Resident #18's Nursing MAR dated 3/01/23-3/31/23 revealed she had received 11
breathing treatments of levalbuterol HCL 0.63 mg in 3 ml (1 vial) inhalation by nebulizer from
3/11/23-3/31/23.
Record review of Resident #18's Nursing MAR dated 4/01/23-4/30/23 revealed she had received 2
breathing treatments of levalbuterol HCL 0.63 mg in 3 ml (1 vial) inhalation by nebulizer on 4/2/23.
During an observation and interview on 4/03/23 at 11:21 AM Resident #18 revealed the facility staff
changed her oxygen tubing, humidifier bottle, nebulizer mask and tubing weekly. Resident #18's oxygen
tubing, humidifier bottle, and oxygen tubing storage bag was dated 4/03/23. Resident #18's nebulizer mask
and tubing were dated 4/03/23, but the storage bag it was stored in was dated 3/05/23.
During an observation on 4/04/23 at 11:04 AM revealed Resident #18's nebulizer mask and tubing
continued to be stored in a storage bag dated 3/05/23.
During an observation on 4/05/23 at 10:50 AM revealed Resident #18's nebulizer mask and tubing
continued to be stored in a storage bag dated 3/05/23.
During an interview on 4/05/23 at 2:12 PM, RN B revealed the 10 PM to 6 AM nursing staff were
responsible for discarding and replacing all the oxygen supplies weekly and was usually done on Sundays.
She said the storage bags of the nebulizer mask and tubing should also be changed at that time to prevent
respiratory infections. She said it did not make sense to place clean supplies in a dirty storage bag and
defeated the purpose of replacing the clean nebulizer masks and tubing. She said placing the clean
nebulizer mask and tubing in a dirty storage bag would place the resident at increased risk for respiratory
infections.
During an interview on 4/05/23 at 2:27 PM the ADON, who was also the Infection Preventionist, revealed
the nursing staff were responsible for changing the oxygen equipment/nebulizer masks & tubing weekly and
was usually changed on Sundays. She said the storage bags of the oxygen equipment/nebulizer masks &
tubing should also be changed at that time to prevent respiratory infections. The ADON revealed a storage
bag that had not been changed in a month could lead to a resident developing respiratory infections and
defeated the purpose of changing the oxygen equipment/nebulizer masks & tubing weekly.
During an interview on 4/05/23 at 2:44 PM the DON revealed oxygen supplies should be changed every
week and stored in a bag and a date placed on the tubing, mask & storage bags. The DON revealed a
nebulizer mask & tubing storage bag dated 3/05/23 indicated someone was lazy and did not change the
storage bag when they changed the nebulizer mask and tubing. The DON revealed a clean nebulizer mask
and tubing placed in a month-old dirty storage bag would place the resident at increased risk of developing
respiratory infections.
During an interview on 4/05/23 at 3:13 PM the Administrator revealed she would expect staff to change the
storage bag weekly when new oxygen equipment/nebulizer masks and tubing were changed to prevent
respiratory infections.

Residents Affected - Some
residents complained she carried the tray back to the kitchen and either got a new tray or got the resident
something different. She said she was one of the CNAs that passed the trays on the E wing on 04/04/23.
She said she did not feel the trays were passed in a timely manner. She said this was because there was
just so much going on. She said other staff were passing trays on another hall and she had to go back to
the kitchen to get a resident a salad. She said not passing the trays in a timely manner could cause the
food to be cold when served to the residents.
During an interview on 04/05/23 at 11:16 a.m., RN B said she did not hear as many food complaints as she
used to. She said she had not heard any complaints of the food being cold. She said if the food was cold
the residents might not want to eat, and this could lead to weight loss.
During an interview on 04/05/23 at 1:20 p.m., the ADON said residents complaining of food being cold had
been an issue in the past. She said the issue had been discussed in the morning meetings. She said
normally the CNAs passed the trays to those requiring feeding assistance first. She said today (04/05/2023)
they passed trays to everyone first and then provided feeding assistance. She said residents might not even
want cold food and could cause them weight loss. She said she did feel 20 minutes was too long to pass
trays on the E Wing.
During an interview on 04/05/23 at 1:37 p.m., the DON said she had not heard any complaints from
residents about cold food. She said she did feel food would be cold after sitting 20 minutes on the E Wing.
She said cold food could make the residents not eat and could lead to weight loss.
During an interview on 04/05/23 at 2:15 p.m., the Administrator said it did take an unusual amount of time
for the lunch trays to be passed on the E Wing on 04/04/23. She said normally feeding assistance would be
provided and food orders would be taken after meal trays were passed to the other residents. She said
residents being served cold food could cause residents not to eat as much and potentially have weight loss.
Review of a Food Holding and Service facility policy dated 2018 indicated, .Serve all hot foods at a
temperature of 135°F (degrees Fahrenheit) or greater .Adjust the temperature to account for the time
the food will be held prior to service on the steam table and on the tray carts .
