Perimeter Rehab Suites: Resident Property Violations - GA

Healthcare Facility
Perimeter Rehabilitation Suites By Harborview
Atlanta, GA

The December 2025 inspection of Perimeter Rehabilitation Suites by Harborview found that the facility's MDS Coordinator failed to record a urinary tract infection on the quarterly assessment for a resident identified as R20. The UTI had been diagnosed and treated at a hospital within the 30 days before the assessment was completed.

The MDS Coordinator told inspectors he understood he was supposed to code a UTI when a resident had one while in the facility. He said he relied on the RAI Manual and participated in monthly training calls run by the Regional MDS Coordinator. He had not coded this one.

The VP of Clinical Reimbursement, interviewed on December 18, clarified that staff were trained to code a UTI when a resident was diagnosed and treated at a hospital within the prior 30 days. She said she expected staff to follow the RAI Manual and code accurately. Then she acknowledged that her regional MDS coordinators had not started auditing assessments to check whether UTIs were being coded correctly.

The administrator told inspectors he expected staff to code assessments correctly according to the RAI Manual.

The gap between what supervisors expected and what they were checking for is the finding. The VP described a training structure, a chain of regional oversight, a clear standard. None of it had been verified. The audit that might have caught this error before inspectors arrived had not begun.

CMS rated the violation as causing minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting few residents. MDS assessments drive care planning and Medicare reimbursement. A missed diagnosis on the record is a missed entry in the file that follows a resident through their stay.

R20's UTI went uncoded. Whether it affected their care plan, nobody at the facility had checked.
