Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 was coded on her Quarterly MDS assessment, signed as completed on [DATE], for a psychiatric/mood disorder, an anxiety disorder diagnosed [DATE]. This failure could place residents at risk of improper or incorrect care and services necessary for their physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. The findings included: Record review of Resident #1's admission Record, dated [DATE], reflected a [AGE] year-old female. She was initially admitted on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. She discharged on [DATE]. Record review of Resident #1's Diagnosis Report, dated [DATE], reflected a principle diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease (a progressive disease that affects memory and other important mental functions) with onset dated [DATE], a diagnosis of anxiety disorder (a condition in which a person has excessive worry and feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness) with onset dated [DATE], a diagnosis of age-related osteoporosis (brittle or fragile bones) without current pathological fracture (a type of broken bone that occurred due to a disease or condition that weakens the bone, rather than from an injury) with onset dated [DATE], and a diagnosis of cognitive communication deficit (difficulty communicating due to injury to the brain) with onset dated [DATE]. Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated [DATE] and signed as completed on [DATE] by the MDS Nurse and the DON, reflected assessment observation end date of [DATE]. Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 3 indicating she was severely cognitively impaired. Under Active Diagnoses in the last 7 days, she was not documented under Psychiatric/Mood Disorder as having had an anxiety disorder. Under High-Risk Drug Classes: Use and Indication, she was documented as taking with an indication noted for antianxiety medications. Record review of Resident #1's Order Recap Report, orders dated [DATE]- [DATE], reflected the order Ativan [a medication used to treat anxiety disorders] Oral Tablet 0.5 MG (Lorazepam) Give 1 tablet by mouth every 8 hours as needed for restlessness for 14 Days, start date of [DATE], and an end date of [DATE].

F 0641 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few restlessness for 14 Days, start date of [DATE] at 01:00 p.m., and an end date of [DATE] 02:07 p.m. Resident #1 was documented to have received the medication twice on [DATE], once at 09:37 a.m. and a second time at 07:50 p.m. Resident #1 was unavailable for observation or interview. Record review of Resident #1's Progress Note, dated [DATE] by LPN A, reflected Resident #1 had died and been pronounced by a hospice nurse on [DATE] at 08:53 a.m. During an interview on [DATE] at 03:14 p.m., Resident #1's representative revealed she was aware of Resident #1's new medications and knew Resident #1 had had a change in behavior which was expected due to her condition. During an interview on [DATE] at 03:56 p.m., the MDS Nurse revealed she believed she was responsible for the accuracy of the MDS Assessments. She stated the facility had a contracted company that would complete audits of the MDS Assessments to monitor the MDS Assessments for accuracy. She stated that after she had completed a MDS Assessment, she would let the DON know that the assessment was ready for review and to be signed. The MDS Nurse revealed her process for documenting a resident's psychiatric/mood disorder would be to review the documentation provided by the physicians, by the contracted psychiatric services company, and by hospital staff if available. She stated Resident #1 having not been documented as having had an anxiety disorder must have been an oversight on her part. She stated it would not have impacted the care provided to Resident #1, but it might have impacted the facility's reimbursement for Resident #1's care. During an interview on [DATE] at 04:46 p.m., the DON revealed the MDS Nurse was responsible for the accuracy of the MDS Assessments but that she would also review the Assessments with the MDS Nurse. She revealed the facility had a company that was auditing the MDS Assessments for accuracy and the facility had an improvement plan in place because the facility knew that the MDS Assessments' accuracy was not where they needed it to be. The DON revealed her process for reviewing a resident for psychiatric/mood disorders would be by reviewing the resident's medications. When asked about the impact on the resident for the diagnosis to not be documented, the DON responded that the facility was working diligently to get those right. Record review of the facility's policy, Resident Assessments, dated revised [DATE], reflected: 8. All persons who have completed any portion of the MDS resident assessment form must sign the document attesting to the accuracy of such information.

F 0732 Post nurse staffing information every day. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to post daily information that included the facility name, current date, total number and actual hours worked by registered nurses, licensed practical or licensed vocational nurses, certified nurse aides directly responsible for resident care per shift and the resident census for 4 days (05/10/2025, 05/11/2025, 05/12/2025, and 05/13/2025) of 4 days reviewed. Residents Affected - Many The facility did not post the required current nurse staffing information from 05/10/2025 through 05/13/2025. This failure could place all residents, their families, and facility visitors at risk of not having access to information regarding staffing data and the facility census. The findings included: During an observation on 05/13/2025 at 04:17 p.m., a document labeled with the facility name and dated 05/09/2025 was posted in a plastic protector against the wall across from the nurses' station and outside the DON's office. The document included the staff titles: Registered Nurse, Licensed Vocational Nurse, Certified Nurse Aide, Treatment Nurse, and Training. The document included the number of staff under each title, the number of hours, the total number of hours worked for each staff title type, the total number of hours worked, and the daily census. The document did not include information regarding the care provided per shift. During an interview on 05/13/2025 at 04:19 p.m., LPN B revealed the location of the document was the only location she had seen it posted. She revealed the DON posted the document.

She revealed that she normally posted the document first thing in the morning and did not know why the document was not posted over the weekend. She stated with the facility having had a change in ownership, the nurses have had difficulty getting documents printed. During an interview on 05/16/2025 at 04:46 p.m., the DON revealed she was responsible for posting the daily nurse staffing and census document. She stated the weekend supervisor was responsible for posting the document on the weekends. She stated her back-up for this responsibility would be the ADON. She stated the document was not posted over the weekend due to the printers switching over to a new system and the staff did not have access to the printers. She stated the posting having not been updated would not have impacted the residents' care. She stated that the facility staffing normally stayed consistent. She stated the facility was typically overstaffed due to the resident census having frequent changes and the facility having had many skilled residents.

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on [DATE] at 01:57 p.m., Resident #2 revealed she felt safe at the facility, the staff assisted her if she needed anything, and the staff were very good at answering the call lights. She revealed she had not had any skin injuries or skin concerns since living at the facility. Attempted telephone interview on [DATE] at 03:31 p.m. with RN I. No call back received and staff member not present. During an interview on [DATE] at 04:18 p.m., RN C revealed skin assessments would come up on the MAR, notifying them, the nurse, that they needed to complete the skin assessment. She stated she might have completed the skin assessments for Resident #1 and Resident #2, but then forgotten to go back and enter her findings into the assessment screens. She revealed she typically would go in during a resident's shower to look over the resident's skin and then document her observations later on during the shift. During an interview on [DATE] at 04:08 p.m., the ADON revealed the facility used a skin assessment document and her expectation for the nurses was that they did the skin assessment. She revealed that the management team; herself, the DON, and the wound care nurse, would usually look at the assessments and the UDA to verify that the actual assessment was done. She revealed that if the MAR showed that the skin assessment was administered or checked, that would indicate that the nurse checked off that they had looked at the resident's skin. If it was checked off in the MAR but not in the assessments tab, it would mean that the nurse did not put the assessment in there. She revealed she did not believe the nurse not putting in the assessment would impact the resident's care. She revealed this was because the nurse could have completed the skin assessment and because there were most likely not any abnormalities, they did not enter a skin assessment without abnormalities or changes. During an interview on [DATE] at 04: 46 p.m., the DON revealed the nurses are supposed to complete a skin assessment weekly. She revealed the facility had a plan in place, which they had started the prior week, to monitor the weekly skin assessments. She revealed the nurses were expected to go into the EMR and chart yes they completed the skin assessment. She revealed the nurses were only to chart on the progress notes if there was anything wrong, but if it was blank, that meant there were no issues. She revealed that if the MAR for a skin assessment was checked as administered by a nurse , then that meant that they did it and if there was anything wrong, the nurse would have charted that. The DON revealed that she did not believe a documented completion of a skin assessment on the MAR without a corresponding skin assessment would have impacted the resident. She revealed the facility had a treatment nurse, who looked at all the resident's skin.
