During an interview on 8/20/2026 at 10:51 AM the Chief Operating Officer (COO) stated that she was overseeing operations and she helped with staffing. They had uploaded the quarter 1 PBJ data to the CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid) website, but the data had errors and was rejected. They used a 3rd party who entered the PBJ information for them. The 3rd party was told by CMS that after multiple attempts to resend the PBJ data, they could not submit it. Review of the policy and procedure titled, Payroll and Payroll Based Journal (PBJ), with the last review date of 7/15/2026 read, Purpose: To ensure employees are paid accurately and timely and that complete, accurate, and auditable staffing information is submitted to CMS through the Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ). Policy: The facility will maintain reliable payroll and timekeeping records, protect payroll information, and submit PBJ data in accordance with 42 C.F.R. S 483.70(p), current CMS instructions, and applicable wage-and-hour requirements. Use of a payroll or PBJ vendor does not transfer the facility's responsibility for accuracy or timeliness. Responsibilities: The Administrator provides oversight and approves the final PBJ submission or designates a qualified approver. The PBJ coordinator collects employee, agency, contractor, and census-related information; reconciles the data; submits it; and retains validation reports. 5. PBJ Data Requirements: Report required direct-care staffing hours for facility employees and agency or contract staff using current CMS job-title and pay-type codes. 7. Reconciliation and Submission: The submission must be accepted by CMS no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the 45th calendar day after the quarter ends. The facility will target submission at least 10 calendar days earlier to allow corrections. Before submission, reconcile PBJ hours to payroll, timekeeping, schedules, agency records, invoices, employee rosters, hire/termination information when used, and applicable MDS census information. After upload, review the PBJ/CASPER Final File Validation Report and available staffing reports. Correct rejected or inaccurate records and resubmit before the CMS deadline. The PBJ coordinator and Administrator or designee will document final review and approval. The last accepted file before the deadline is treated as the final submission. 8. Corrections, Security, and Noncompliance: Suspected payroll or PBJ errors, missing contractor data, duplicate hours, improper codes, or system problems must be reported immediately to Payroll, the PBJ coordinator, and the Administrator. Corrections must preserve an audit trail. Access to payroll and PBJ systems is limited to authorized users; credentials may not be shared. Late, incomplete, inaccurate, or unsupported PBJ data may result in CMS noncompliance or enforcement. Repeated issues will be reviewed through QAPI and corrective action.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure necessary assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) in a manner that enabled the resident to participate in and receive necessary care by failing to ensure staff used an appropriate translator or interpreter to communicate with a resident who had limited English proficiency for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #79) reviewed for ADL care. Findings include: Review of Resident #79's medical record documented the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included developmental disorder of scholastic skills, cognitive communication deficit, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and bipolar disorder. During an observation on 08/18/2026 at 8:52 AM Resident #79 was seated alone at a table in the dining room eating breakfast which consisted of boiled eggs, toast, and fruit. An Interview was attempted on 08/18/2026 at 8:52 AM Resident #79 did not respond to questions. During an interview on 08/18/2026 at 8:45 AM the Kitchen Manager stated, [Resident #79's name] destroyed the phone in his room. The resident tried to hurt a lab person before the resident came to this facility. The resident does not speak English, The resident does not speak Swahili, he speaks some other dialect and the CNAs [certified nursing assistants] tried to use google translate and they can't even figure out what language the resident was speaking. I do not communicate with [Resident #79's name], no one can. The resident just walks around or lays down on the floor in the hallway, where we can't get the carts past. The resident taps things and points. I don't know the resident's likes or dislikes or allergies because I cannot communicate with the resident. I just follow the diet orders on the resident's chart. It would help to have a translator or some way to communicate with the resident. We do not have a translator here. The resident has been here for quite a while. During an interview on 08/19/2026 at 8:09 AM, Staff K, CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated, How we communicate with [Resident #79's name] is really just a lot of guessing at what the resident wants. The resident can say some words, like the resident can say soda and can say eat. The resident points to things. You can tell if the resident is whining, the resident is either frustrated or in pain, as you work closely with the resident, you get to know the resident. I don't know what language the resident speaks. I believe there is a phone number we can call for translations, but I am not sure how to call it directly. I was told there is a phone number we can call, but I have never personally used it. During an observation on 08/19/2026 at 8:20 AM, Resident #79 was standing in the 300 hallway speaking loudly in his primary language while multiple staff members walked past and did not address the resident. During an interview on 08/19/2026 at 8:20 AM, Staff G, LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, We just pretty much guess at what [Resident #79's name] wants. I think there is an app on the phone we can use, but I think you need to pay for it. During an interview on 08/19/2026 at 8:25 AM, the Director of Social Services stated, [Resident #79's name] speaks a dialect, I forgot what it's called. We used to have a staff member that could translate. The staff use [name of language translation app] on their phones. When I first started here, I was very focused on the resident. I contacted [Representative for Resident #79]. The Representative was more involved at first, but then [Representative for Resident #79] stopped answering the phone. [Resident #79's name] is being referred for Guardianship services. I attempted to complete a BIMS [brief interview of mental status] score and I attempted to use an interpreter for it, but it wasn't effective. [Resident #79's name] kind of moans and groans a lot instead of using words. Sometimes [Resident #79's name] seems a bit frustrated. During an interview on 08/19/2026 at 9:15 AM, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated, We do the best we can to communicate. I think the resident speaks [name of Resident #79's primary language]. We also use phones for translation and we have a robot. The robot works well, and [Resident #79's name] is coherent and able to communicate. During an observation on 08/19/2026 at 9:15 AM, the Assistant Director of Nursing showed the robot to the surveyor and attempted to demonstrate the translator service. Each time the ADON clicked the screen, the Robot stated it was docking in home base. The ADON stated possibly the battery is dead, however, the battery indicator read 100%. The ADON made three attempts to tap the screen of the robot/tablet, and it continued re-docking itself. During an interview on 08/19/2026 at 4:01 PM Physician #1 was asked whether the language barrier and staff not using interpreter or language line to communicate to Resident #79 may have worsened frustration/mental illness and/or contributed to history of [NAME] Acts. Physician #1 stated, I know [Resident #79's name] very well. I see the resident often because the resident is complex. I do not believe [Resident #79's name]'s [NAME] Acts was related to staff being unable to communicate with Resident #79. Resident #79's family lives far away, in Chicago, I believe. Resident #79 has some difficulties from being separated from family, and [Resident #79's name] also has a very extensive psych history with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and difficulty regulating emotions. The staff should use the translator to communicate with the resident. During an interview on 08/19/2026 at 4:47 PM, APRN #2 (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse) stated, I believe [Resident #79's name] was hospitalized due to psychiatric issues, and family separation. [Resident #79's name] calls out for [name of Resident #79's representative] sometimes. The language barrier with the staff is difficult, but I believe [Resident #79's name] was hospitalized due to psychiatric illnesses. I have spoken to [name of Resident #79's representative]. The Representative told me that the resident speaks in their native language, and [Resident #79's name] when incoherent, the Representative can't understand him. Review of Resident #79's care plan dated 07/12/2026 read, [Resident #79's name] has a communication problem due to: Cognitive impairment, Language barrier, developmental delay. Interventions: language line [phone number for language line]. Allow ample time to respond. Ask simple yes/no questions. Call by name or light touch to get their attention.
