Resident 1 did not have a comprehensive assessment (head to toe nursing assessment of the whole body including dental/oral) performed upon admission to facilitate the development of an oral/dental care plan. 2. Resident 5 did not have a dental/oral care plan developed. As a result, there was the potential for residents ' oral and dental care needs to go unmet. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record dated 5/8/23, indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include end stage heart failure and was receiving palliative care (comfort care).

On 5/24/23 at 10:12 A.M., a joint interview and record review was conducted with the director of nursing (DON). The DON stated nurses did not perform dental/oral assessments and that they only do oral and dental assessments upon a resident ' s change of condition.

The DSD stated dental pain was considered an emergency dental need and nursing should have been involved. The DSD reviewed Resident 1's progress notes and stated Resident 1 should have been seen right away back in October 2022 when the resident first reported the toothache. A review of Resident 1 ' s Dental Referral Form dated 12/1/22, indicated the facility ' s dentist (DDS) 1 had referred the resident to be seen and treated by an oral surgeon for extraction of all remaining upper teeth and teeth numbered 24, 19, and 18 (specific location of the teeth).

The BOM stated a reasonable amount of time to coordinate with Resident 1 ' s hospice, insurance, outside providers, and establish an appointment should take no longer than a week. The BOM stated if there were issues with Resident 1 ' s Medicaid, there should have been a care conference and the option to pay cash should have been discussed.
