Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide
assistance to a resident for his/her chosen time to get out of bed in the morning by not
getting him/her up at 6:00 A.M. for one sampled resident (Resident #14) out of 23 sampled
residents. The facility census was 114 residents.

During an interview on 9/18/18 at 2:00 P.M. the resident and his/her family member said:
-The resident needs assistance to get up out of bed in the morning;
-Needs assistance to change his/her briefs;
-The resident likes to get up at 6:00 A.M.;
-On the weekends there was not enough help making the resident stay in bed until 8:00
A.M.;
-This upsets the resident and he/she calls his/her family member and
-The family member talked to the Administrator concerning this problem a couple of weeks
ago.
Observation on 9/24/18 at 7:30 A.M. showed the staff assisted the resident out of bed.
During an interview on 9/27/18 at 8:10 A.M. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) E said:

memo (S&C-09-20), dated 1/9/09, showed the following:
-The NOMNC, form CMS- is issued when all covered Medicare services end for coverage
reasons;
-If the skilled nursing facility (SNF) believes on admission or during a resident’s stay
that Medicare will not pay for skilled nursing or specialized rehabilitative services and
the provider believes that an otherwise covered item or service may be denied as not
reasonable or necessary, the facility must inform the resident or his/her legal
representative in writing why these specific services may not be covered and the
beneficiary’s potential liability for payment for the non-covered services. The SNF’s
responsibility to provide notice to the resident can be fulfilled by the use of either the
SNFABN (form CMS- ) or one of the five uniform denial letters;
-The SNFABN provides an estimated cost of items or services in case the beneficiary had to
pay for them him/herself or through other insurance they may have;
-If the SNF provides the beneficiary with either the SNFABN or a denial letter at the
initiation, reduction, or termination of Medicare Part A benefits, the provider has met is
obligation to inform the beneficiary of his/her potential liability for payment and
related standard claim appeal rights. Issuing the NOMNC to a beneficiary only conveys
notice to the beneficiary of his/her right to an expedited review of a service
termination.
1. Record review of Resident #169’s SNF ABN and NOMNC showed the resident was notified on
8/30/18 that coverage of services was ending 8/31/18.
During an interview on 9/21/18 at 2:19 P.M., the Social Services Director said he/she knew
the regulation required more advance notice of services ending.

misappropriation of property against residents) prohibiting them to work in a certified
facility. The facility’s census was 114 residents.
1. Record review of the facility’s list of employees hired since the facility’s last

-Employee H, a RN was hired on 6/21/18.
Record review of the above employees’ employee files showed none of the employees were
checked against the NA Registry to ensure they did not have a Federal Indicator
prohibiting them to work in a certified facility.
During an interview on 9/24/18 at 10:20 A.M., the Staff Development Coordinator said:
-He/she did not know everyone needed to be checked against the NA Registry and

preadmission screening/resident review (PASRR) level II screen is required) as required)
as required for two sampled residents (Residents #63 and #109) out of 23 sampled
residents. The facility census was 114 residents.
Record review of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) guide
titled, PASRR Desk Reference, dated 3/3/08, showed:
– The PASRR is a federally mandated screening process for any person for whom placement in
a Medicaid Title (XIX) certified bed is being sought. This is a Level I screening
(completion of the DA124C form). (In this facility, all beds are Medicaid certified) and
– A Level II assessment is completed on those persons identified at Level I who are known
or suspected to have a serious mental illness (such as [MEDICAL CONDITION] (a disorder
that affects a person’s ability to think, feel, and behave clearly.), dementia (a group of
thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning), [MEDICAL CONDITION]
(a mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest
in activities), etc., Intellectual Delay, Developmental Delay or related condition to
determine the need for specialized service (completion of the DA124A/B form). The facility
responsible for completing the DA124A/B and/or DA124C forms is also responsible for
submitting completed form(s) to DHSS, Division of Regulation and Licensure, Section for
Long Term Care Regulation, Central Office Medical Review Unit (COMRU).

impairment,
–To assure that the individual needs of mentally impaired persons can be and are being
met in the appropriate placement environment,
–To be compliant with the OBRA/PASRR federal requirements, see 42 CFR 483.Subpart C, and
–To assure Title XIX funds are expended appropriately and in accordance with Legislative
intent.
-To comply with PASRR requirements, the facility must maintain a legible copy on file of
the DA124C and Level II Screening Report for each resident until the resident is
