(i) Where changes in coverage are made to items and services covered by Medicare and/or by the Medicaid State plan, the facility must provide notice to residents of the change as soon as is reasonably possible. (ii) Where changes are made to charges for other items and services that the facility offers, the facility must inform the resident in writing at least 60 days prior to implementation of the change. (iii) If a resident dies or is hospitalized or is transferred and does not return to the facility, the facility must refund to the resident, resident representative, or estate, as applicable, any deposit or charges already paid, less the facility's per diem rate, for the days the resident actually resided or reserved or retained a bed in the facility, regardless of any minimum stay or discharge notice requirements. (iv) The facility must refund to the resident or resident representative any and all refunds due the resident within 30 days from the resident's date of discharge from the facility. (v) The terms of an admission contract by or on behalf of an individual seeking admission to the facility must not conflict with the requirements of these regulations.

This failure had the potential for the residents to not know their rights to appeal, including how to appeal the discharge from Medicare part A services. Findings: During a concurrent interview with the Social Service Director (SSD) and record review of Residents 14 and 16's medical record on 12/14/18, at 11:08 a.m., Residents 14 and 26 were given with the Skilled Nursing Facility Beneficiary Protection Notification Review for residents who received Medicare Part A Services but were not provided with the NOMNC form. The SSD indicated that she was using the form before but not this year. The SSD stated, "I have not been issuing the Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage." The SSD further stated Residents 14 and 26 did not receive any information on how to appeal the discharge from Medicare part A. A review of Resident 14's SNF Beneficiary Protection Notification Review, Resident 14's Medicare Part A skilled services episode start date was 6/14/18 and last covered day of Part A service was 8/27/18. A review of Resident 26's SNF Beneficiary Protection Notification Review, Resident 26's Medicare Part A skilled services episode start date was 1/5/18 and last covered day of Part A service was 3/16/18. The facility initiated the discharge from Medicare Part A services and the skilled benefit days were not exhausted. Both residents are still present in the facility.

This failure had the potential to result in Resident 21 being inappropriately discharged without added protection from Ombudsman who advocates resident's rights and options. Findings: A review of Resident 21's face sheet indicated that Resident 21 was admitted on 9/9/18. A review of Resident 21's Notification of Proposed Transfer/Discharge indicated Resident 21 was discharged to General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) on 12/8/18. A review of Resident 21's medical record did not indicate any document that the facility notified the Ombudsman of Resident 21's discharge. On 12/13/18, at 10:24 a.m., during an interview with the Social Service Director (SSD), she stated that when the facility discharges a resident, the facility should notify the resident, their family, public guardian if any, and also the Ombudsman. The SSD also stated the facility notifies ombudsman on a weekly basis via fax that includes Fax Cover Sheet, Notice of Proposed Transfer/Discharge, Resident Transfer Record and Monthly Ombudsman Notification. The SSD also stated that they normally do follow up calls after the transmission of the faxes to the Ombudsman making sure that the Ombudsman receives all the documents the facility faxed.

I normally look back after I submitted, but I don't know what happened." A review of the facility's document titled, "CMS Submission Report/MDS3.0 NH Final Validation" dated 12/13/18 indicated Resident 138's quarterly MDS assessment dated 4/18/18 and annual MDS assessment date 7/18/18 were rejected.

The DON also stated Resident 19 told her that he has episodes of urinary incontinence. A review of Resident 19's "Bowel and Bladder Assessment Record," dated 10/26/18, indicated Resident 19 had urinary incontinence episodes once a week or less. Further review of the document indicated Resident 19 did not require bladder & bowel training even with episodes of urinary incontinence.

Resident 188 stated that she needs the side rails to stabilize herself in bed. During an interview on 12/14/18 at 8:31 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated that there was "no risk assessment for bed entrapment" done before the use of the bed rails for Resident 188.

Findings: On 12/13/18, at 3:23 p.m., during an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3, she stated that all medications, including controlled medications that were refused by the residents and medications that fell on the floor will be disposed in a bin located in the Administrator's office. LVN 3 also stated the facility uses the same bin for all medications, including controlled medications for disposition. During an observation of the Administrator's office with LVN 3 on 12/13/18, at 3:30 p.m., a white, oblong disposable bin with blue lid and hole on top with yellow cover was seen under the Administrator's table. The disposable bin was observed with multiple medications of different colors and sizes inside. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/13/18 at 3:33 p.m., , the DON stated controlled medications that accidentally FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: PVI811 Facility ID: CA970000037 If continuation sheet 25 of 34 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

This failure had the potential to create confusion on whether the advance directive was discussed or offered to the resident. Findings: A review of the Advance Directive / Medical Treatment Decisions forms indicated the following: 1. For Resident 11, the form indicated that attending the physician discussed and signed the advance directive/medical treatment decisions on 4/7/18. Further review of the form did not indicate a response of "Yes", "No", or "Never Expressed" from the resident. 2. For Resident 22, the form did not indicate that attending the physician signed the advance directive/medical treatment decisions on 11/7/18.

This deficient practice had the potential for the development and spread of infection if soiled clothes were not washed using a sanitizing solution.

The LSS stated that "Residents' clothes with poop or urine," were washed in the laundry room "using detergent." The LSS also stated that she only uses a sanitizing solution (Clorox bleach) when she washes white clothes of the residents. The LSS further stated that the residents use the facility's laundry services for their personal clothes. During concurrent observation and interview on 12/14/18, at 9:20 a.m., the Maintenance Staff (MS) stated that the facility does not use high temperature water as a means of sanitizing personal clothes of the residents. The MS checked the temperature of the water supplying the washer and had a reading of 122 Fahrenheit (F).

There were no concerns observed related to the space or to the safe provisions of care to the residents residing in the rooms. During an interview with the residents during the resident council meeting on 12/12/18 at 11:04 a.m., there were no reported concerns with room space while facility staff were providing care to the residents.
