Maurer, Administrator Elmore Medical Center- Nursing Home 895 North 6th East, PO Box 1270 Mountain Home, Provider#: Dear Mr. Maurer: On January 22, 2013, a Facility Fire Safety and Construction survey was conducted at Elmore Medical Center- Nursing Home by the Department of Health & Welfare, Bureau of Facility Standards to determine if your facility was in compliance with State Licensure and Federal participation requirements for nursing homes participating in the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs. This survey found that your facility was not in substantial compliance with Medicare and Medicaid program participation requirements. This survey found the most serious deficiency to be a widespread deficiency that constitutes no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy, as documented on the enclosed CMS-2567, whereby significant corrections are required. Enclosed is a Statement of Deficiencies and Plan of Correction, Form CMS-2567, listing Medicare and/or Medicaid deficiencies, and a similar State Form listing licensure health deficiencies. In the spaces provided on the right side of each sheet, answer each deficiency and state the date when each will be completed. Please provide ONLY ONE completion date for each federal and state Tag in column X5 (Completion Date), to signify when you allege that each tag will be back in compliance. NOTE: The alleged compl.jance date must be after the "Date Survey Completed" (located in field X3) and on or before the "Opportunity to Correct" (listed on page 2). After each deficiency has been answered and dated, the administrator should sign both

2 Greg L. Maurer, Administrator January 31,2013 Page 2 of4 Statement of Deficiencies and Plan of Correction, Form CMS-2567 and State Form, in the spaces provided and return the originals to this office. Your Plan of Correction (PoC) for the deficiencies must be submitted by February 13, Failure to submit an acceptable PoC by February 13, 2013, may result in the imposition of civil monetary penalties by March 5, Your PoC must contain the following: What corrective action( s) will be accomplished for those residents found to have been affected by the deficient practice; How you will identify other residents having the potential to be affected by the same deficient practice and what corrective action( s) will be taken; What measures will be put into place or what systemic changes you will make to ensure that the deficient practice does not recur; How the corrective action(s) will be monitored to ensure the deficient practice will not recur, i.e., what quality assurance program will be put into place; and, Include dates when corrective action will be completed. All references to federal regulatory requirements contained in this letter are found in Title 4 2, Code of Federal Regulations. Remedies will be recommended for imposition by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), if your facility has failed to achieve substantial compliance by February 26, 2013, (Opportunity to Correct). Informal dispute resolution of the cited deficiencies will not delay the imposition of the enforcement actions recommended (or revised, as appropriate) on February 26,2013. A change in the seriousness of the deficiencies on February 26,2013, may result in a change in the remedy. The remedy, which will be recommended if substantial compliance has not been achieved by February 26, 2013, includes the following: Denial of payment for new admissions effective April22, CPR (a)

3 Greg L. Maurer, Administrator January 31,2013 Page 3 of 4 If you do not achieve substantial compliance within tlrree (3) months after the last day of the survey identifying noncompliance, the CMS Regional Office and/or State Medicaid Agency must deny payments for new admissions. We must recommend to the CMS Regional Office and/or State Medicaid Agency that your provider agreement be terminated on July 22, 2013, if substantial compliance is not achieved by thattime. Please note that this notice does not constitute formal notice of imposition of alternative remedies or termination of your provider agreement. Should the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services determine that termination or any other remedy is warranted, it will provide you with a separate formal notification of that determination. If you believe these deficiencies have been corrected, you may contact Mark P. Grimes, Supervisor, Facility Fire Safety and Construction, Bureau of Facility Standards, 3232 Elder Street, PO Box 83720, Boise, ld , Phone#: (208) , Fax#: (208) , with your written credible allegation of compliance. If you choose and so indicate, the PoC may constitute your allegation of compliance. We may accept the written allegation of compliance and presume compliance until substantiated by a revisit or other means. In such a case, neither the CMS Regional Office nor the State Medicaid Agency will impose the previously recommended remedy, if appropriate. If, upon the subsequent revisit, your facility has not achieved substantial compliance, we will recommend that the remedies previously mentioned in this letter be imposed by the CMS Regional Office or the State Medicaid Agency beginning on January 22, 2013, and continue until substantial compliance is achieved. Additionally, the CMS Regional Office or State Medicaid Agency may impose a revised remedy(ies), based on changes in the seriousness of the non-compliance at the time of the revisit, if appropriate. In accordance with 42 CFR , you have one opportunity to question cited deficiencies through an informal dispute resolution process. To be given such an opportunity, you are required to send your written request and all required information as directed in Informational Letter # Informational Letter # can also be found on the Internet at: htto :/ lhealthandwelfare.idaho. gov /Providers/ProvidersF aciliti es/statef ederalprograms/n ursingf a ciliti es/tabidl 4 34/Default.aspx Go to the middle of the page to Information Letters section and click on State and select the following:
