Findings
Based on interview and record review, the residence failed to discharge a resident who posed a danger to self or others and the assisted living residence was unable to sufficiently address those issues through therapeutic approach for three of eight sample residents (#13, #17 and #19). (Cross-reference 12.1). Findings include:1. Policy The residence's Assessment Procedure policy, dated 3/2023, read in part: the residence administrator or designee conducts in-person assessments of individual residents. Resident's are reassessed whenever there is a significant change in physical, medical or mental condition or behavior. The assessment information is recorded on the proper forms and is filed in the resident's health information record. 2. Record reviewResident #19 admitted to the residence on 8/7/24, diagnoses included schizophrenia, bipolar 2 disorder and anxiety. An emergency care after visit summary, dated 7/4/25, read in part: Resident #19 was seen on 7/4/25 for suicidal ideations, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. A safety plan outlining warning signs of suicidal ideation specifically for Resident #19 included "being at the residence, bad or aggressive people, stressful events, lack of sleep and anxiety."The resident record failed to include a re assessment prior to Resident #19's return on the same day. 3. InterviewOn 8/20/25 at 12:00 p.m., the QMAP supervisor said she was not aware resident's needed to be re-assessed for return when there was an emergency room visit or hospital admission. The QMAP supervisor said she was not sure how the residence was assessing for appropriateness of re admission without assessing the resident. The QMAP supervisor said the hospital usually dictated the care at discharge and told the residence if a higher level of care was needed. On 8/20/25 at approximately 1:00 p.m., the administrator said the residence was not always provided an opportunity to re-assess resident's because the hospital or emergency medical response transport dropped residents off without contacting the residence. 4. Similar deficient practice was identified for Resident's #13 and #17.

Staff will be trained on 8/20/25 about new safety interventions by the QMAP Supervisor to ensure resident #17 and #20 ' s safety with how to conduct constant visual supervision with documentation. Each oncoming shift will be trained to the new intervention protocol. The protocol will be documented as to which staff is assigned to each resident. As well as, date time and description of interactions as they occur. For the identified resident #19 the administrator will discuss moving him to his old private room in the main building. If resident is agreeable, resident will have the ability to remove himself from #17 ' s or other residents' aggressive behavior. The staff will document any aggressive people interactions with resident #19 and provide staff narrative of resolutions/interactions to protect resident #19 from triggers.

For the identified resident #13, the administrator will interview residents and discuss what suicidal ideation triggers he has and what staff can do to help resident cope with suicidal ideation. After triggers are identified, those triggers will be monitored and documented as they occur with staff intervention to protect resident #13 from harm. If resident requires further psychiatric evaluation, staff will have resident #13 transfer to hospital to receive additional professional evaluation. Staff will be trained on 8/20/25 by the QMAP Supervisor as to how to identify and document resident #13 ' s suicidal ideation triggers and documents incidents as they occur on the newly developed safety form."However, the written evidence did not indicate what training material was being used, would staff be trained to investigate abuse and what would be done to protect resident's during investigations. How staff will be trained on de-escalation techniques. What materials are the intervention protocols coming from, at what frequency will visual monitoring occur, and how will it be documented. Who will be responsible for overseeing the monitoring, where it is being stored, and how will effectiveness be monitored. What steps will be taken if the residents are not agreeable to moving rooms and what interventions will be put in place if the residents did not want to be separated. On 8/20/25 at 6:20 p.m., the administrator submitted additional evidence that read:"The staff will document any aggressive people interactions with Resident #19 and provide staff narrative of resolution/interactions to protect Resident #19 from triggers. For the identified Resident #13, the administrator will interview the resident and discuss what suicidal ideation triggers he has, what staff can do to help resident cope with suicidal ideation.

The administrator stated this deficiency that was previously cited was not corrected because he was not made aware that the residents still had issues with the temperatures as no resident brought their grievance to him and brought up that due to the buildings age, blueprints had to be re-drawn, local city had to be involved to get power the power box to be installed, and inspections and ensuring things were aligned with the city code which took time. He also stated that he was not sure what the current temperature monitoring process looked like.
