Follow-up·April 28, 2022

On 04/28/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) C. Fowler conducted a case management and met with Bernadette Bender Memory Care Director. LPA explained to Bernadette purpose of the visit. During the course of investigation for different issues, a concern regarding Resident 2 (R2) not getting assistance with brushing teeth was addressed. LPA L. Fontanilla reviewed R2’s Physician’s Report dated 3/26/2019 and Appraisal Needs and Services Plan (ANS). Documents reviewed indicate R2 is independent with ADLs and is capable for self-care. On 2/5/2021, R2’s ANS was updated and added partial assist with hygiene/oral care, evacuation, elopement and confusion and reminders for activities. On 3/24/2022, LPA L. Fontanilla interviewed 4 caregivers who have been working at the facility for 2-7 years and have worked with R2. All caregivers interviewed state that R2 is ambulatory and independent with ADLs. Staff told LPA that R2 needed cueing or reminders only with ADLs such as brushing teeth and changing clothes. Staff would hand R2 toothbrush/toothbrush but would not allow staff to brush R2’s teeth. There is no deficiency noted for this visit.
