Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to document an accurate Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated assessment completed by facility staff) for one resident (Resident #14) out of 22 sampled residents and one resident (Resident #8) outside the sample. The facility census was 106. Review of the facility's policy, Comprehensive Assessments, revised October 2023, showed: - Comprehensive MDS assessments are conducted to assist in developing person-centered care plans; - The facility conducts comprehensive, accurate, standardized, reproducible assessments of each resident's functional capacity using the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) specified by CMS; - The comprehensive assessment process includes direct observation and communication with residents, as well as communication with licensed and non-licensed direct care staff members on each shift; - A comprehensive assessment'' includes completion of the MDS, completion of the care area assessment (CAA) process, and development of the comprehensive care plan; - Comprehensive assessments are conducted in accordance with criteria and timeframes established in the RAI User Manual; - A significant error is an error in an assessment where the resident's overall clinical status is not accurately represented (i.e., miscoded) on the erroneous assessment and/or results in an inappropriate plan of care; and the error has not been corrected via submission of a more recent assessment; - Completed assessments are maintained in the resident's active record for a minimum of 15 months. These assessments are used to develop, review, and revise the resident's comprehensive care plan. Review of the RAI Manual, Version 1.19.1, dated October 2024, showed: - Section P: Restraints: After determining whether or not an item listed in (P0100) is a physical restraint and was used during the seven-day look-back period, code the frequency of use: Code 0, not used: if the item was not used during the seven-day look-back period or it was used but did not meet the definition; - N0415G1. Diuretic: Check if a diuretic medication was taken by the resident at any time during the seven-day look-back period (or since admission/entry or reentry if less than seven days). 1. Review of Resident #8's medical record showed: - Diagnoses of morbid obesity (a severe form of the disorder that involves having too much body fat, which increases the risk of health problems), need for assistance with personal care, and muscle weakness; - Bed rail consent form, dated 03/16/25; - Side rail assessment, dated 09/04/25. - An order for quarter side rail times two, per resident preference to promote independence and assist with bed mobility/positioning as needed, dated 03/17/25. Review of the resident's annual MDS, dated [DATE], showed: - Section P0100. Physical Restraints, A. Bed rails, coded with a 2 (used daily); - The facility failed to accurately code the MDS assessment. 2. Review of Resident #14's medical record showed: - admission date of 02/07/25; - Diagnoses of heart failure (chronic condition in which the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should), muscle weakness, and unsteadiness on feet. - An order for furosemide (diuretic – a medication to help the body get rid of extra fluid and salt) 20 milligrams (mg), give one tablet by mouth one time a day for heart failure, dated 07/29/25. Review of the resident's Medication Administration Record, dated August 2025, showed the resident received furosemide daily during the seven-day look back period. Review of the resident's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 08/12/25, showed Section N0415 marked no for diuretic use for the seven-day look back period. During an interview on 09/12/25 at 1:48 P.M., the MDS Coordinator said medications the resident is currently taking should be coded on the MDS assessment and, if bed rails are being used for mobility and positioning, they are not to be coded as restraints. During an interview on 09/12/25 at 2:30 P.M., the Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) said they would expect the MDS assessments to accurately reflect the condition of the resident.
Based on interview and record review, the facility staff failed to ensure residents with limited range of motion (ROM) received appropriate treatment and services to increase their ROM and/or prevent a further decrease in their ROM. The facility staff failed to perform restorative services as ordered for three residents (Resident #13, #50, and #82) out of 22 sampled residents and one resident (Resident #35) outside the sample.

During an interview on 09/09/25 at 1:54 P.M., Resident #82 said he/she doesn't receive restorative services the way he/she should because the restorative aide is always getting pulled to transport and doesn't have time to provide the restorative services to the residents. He/she would like to receive the services that he/she is supposed to. During an interview on 09/12/25 at 2:00 P.M., Restorative Aide B said he/she has been doing restorative services for about a year. He/she is given an order list each day of which residents he/she needs to work with. He/she does half the building and the other aide does the other half. He/she and the other aide both do transports as well, so he/she will try to alternate days when he/she has to miss working with the residents. Transports can sometimes take all day and will sometimes interfere with restorative care, causing them to not be able to complete the services for the week. They complete a log each day they work with the residents and will copy it into the electronic records at the end of each day. During an interview on 09/12/25 at 2:45 P.M., the Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) said they would expect restorative services to be completed as ordered and appropriate documentation to be completed regarding the services.

During an interview on 07/24/24 at 3:00 P.M., the Maintenance Supervisor said they have a contract with a pest control company, and they come once a month to treat the facility. If they need them to come more often, they can. There is a folder in their office that staff can list the date and location they saw pests for the pest control company to treat. During an interview on 07/24/24 6:30 P.M., the Administrator, Director of Nursing, and Assistant Director of Nursing said they would expect the facility to be free from pests. Complaint #MO00238791
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that Nurse Aide (NA) Registry checks were completed prior to the employment start date of four employees out of a sample of ten employees and failed to ensure their policy addressed checking the NA Registry for all employees prior to employment. The facility also failed to follow their policy to ensure the Criminal Background Check (CBC), Employee Disqualification List (EDL) or Family Care Safety Registry (FCSR) were completed prior to the employment date of one employee out of a sample of ten employees.
