The assessment showed Resident #2's pain had been rated at a 10/10 within the previous 5 days. The assessment showed Resident #2's cognition was intact with a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 15.

On 06/01/26 at 5:45 p.m., the administrator stated they understood if the medication had been reordered timely, then the facility would have had time to provide the requested prior authorization and the pharmacist's car breaking down would not have impacted having the medication available in the facility to provide to Resident #2 as ordered by the physician.

On 04/01/23 at 9:45 a.m., CMA #1 reported they could identify residents at risk for falls because they had been around them for so long, I just know. CMA #1 reported they had received no education regarding falls or fall prevention. On 04/01/23 at 11:00 a.m., the Administrator reported they did not have a fall prevention program and the stars outside residents' rooms was an antiquated system they no longer followed. The Administrator reported they did not investigate falls on a consistent basis to determine casual factors. The Administrator reported the care plans should have been updated with each fall to include fall interventions.
On 03/30/23, an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist related to the facility's failure to provide mental health treatment and services for Res #23 who had a serious mental illness, suicidal ideation, and threats to self-harm. On 03/30/23 at 2:00 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified and verified the existence of the IJ situation. On 03/30/23 at 2:17 p.m., the Administrator was notified of the IJ situation. On 03/30/23 at 6:40 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was submitted to the Oklahoma State Department of Health. The facility's plan of removal, dated 03/30/23 at 6:40 p.m., read in part, 1. All residents that are in the facility will have a Trauma Informed Assessment completed within 24 hours. New admissions will have a Trauma Informed Assessment completed within 24 hours of admission. Residents that are identified through the assessment as needing immediate treatment/services will be referred for treatment. 2. All residents with PSTD or suicidal ideation that are in the facility shall receive an adequate comprehensive care plan to address the resident's POC including psychosocial wellbeing within 48 hours. 3. In-services will be initiated immediately for all staff concerning trauma informed care policy and abuse, neglect, and psychosocial wellbeing, suicide ideation policy and immediate EOD, adequate behavior monitoring and change of condition notification. Any behavior that is not baseline for any resident should be immediately reported to the charge nurse. This may include, refusing medications, meals, social interaction/activities, increased isolation. Staff that do not/cannot attend in-service will be emailed copies of all material covered. Signed acknowledgment of that in-service will be required prior to their next shift. Policies covered: Trauma Informed Care, Notification of Change, Suicide Prevention, Use of Psychotropic Medication, Abuse and Neglect. Policies were compared with sister facilities and the Compliance Store. 4. The facility will continue to reach out and look for adequate therapy services for psychosocial wellbeing of the residents. Sister facility (17 miles) recently obtained therapy services and we have reached out to attempt to contract those same services. 5. An audit will be initiated immediately and finished within 1 hour concerning all residents on a level II PASSR to determine if baseline care plan is monitoring resident's psychosocial wellbeing. 6. In-service will be initiated immediately for all licensed staff regarding suicide ideation policy and immediate EOD. 7. Policies used for in-service were obtained through sister facilities and sources that are known to be compliant with current regulations. The IJ was lifted, effective 03/30/23 at 6:45 p.m., when all components of the plan of removal had been completed. The deficiency remains at an isolated level with a potential for harm. Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident with serious mental illness who had suicidal ideation and complaints of self-harm received the necessary treatment and services for one (#23) of one resident reviewed for mental health services.

Our staff need additional training to help meet the needs of our residents .Our medical director is assisting us with finding a psychiatric physician to meet the needs of our residents A Behavior Note, dated 09/09/21 at 11:31 p.m., read in part, Resident verbalizes suicidal thoughts and has a plan to cut herself by any means necessary.

There was no documented monitoring of the resident. There was no care plan to address the resident's diagnoses of anxiety and PTSD. The Care Plan did not incorporate the recommendations from the PASRR evaluation report or any resident behaviors. A physician's order, dated 12/07/22, read in parts, Behavior monitoring: document, and alert PCP PRN of behaviors: All behaviors are to be documented in progress notes . There was no documentation to show Behavior monitoring until three months after Res #23 reported suicidal ideation and threats of self-harm. There were no in-services regarding residents with PTSD, suicidal ideation, threats of self- harm, or residents' with mental health issues for the past 12 months. On 03/29/23 at 4:00 p.m., the DON reported they did not have documentation to show the staff intervened and/or monitored Res #23 after they reported suicidal ideation and threats of self-harm.

The resident reported thoughts of suicide and self harm but didn't have a plan because nothing was available in the home to harm themselves. Res #23 reported they did not feel their needs were being met. Res #23 reported needing therapy but stated they had been told they weren't eligible to receive outpatient or telemed therapy. Res #23 reported they didn't trust staff enough to tell them how were truly feeling. On 03/30/23 at 1:35 p.m., the Administrator reported the resident was not eligible for therapy services on an outpatient basis due to the resident being inpatient in a long-term care facility. She reported there was no therapist available or able to provide services to the resident. The Administrator reported they had not looked at private pay options or transferring the resident to a facility where their needs could be met.
