Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop resident-specific written care plans
that addressed the oral and dental care needs for two of three residents (Resident 1 and Resident 5) when:
1. 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 5/4/23 at 2:15 P.M., an interview was conducted with Resident 1 inside the resident ' s room. Resident 1
stated she had tooth pain that lasted for months and that she had to go on antibiotics for a tooth infection.
On 5/5/23 at 2 P.M., a joint interview and record review was conducted with licensed nurse (LN) 1. LN 1
stated there was no written care plan developed for the resident ' s dental and oral care needs. LN 1 stated
there should have been a written care plan that included Resident 1 ' s dental pain and what treatment was
being done to address it. LN 1 stated written care plans guided the residents ' care.
On 5/5/23 at 3:30 P.M., a joint interview and record review was conducted with the director of staff
development (DSD). The DSD stated there was no written care plan for the resident ' s dental and oral care
needs. The DSD stated there should have been a written dental and oral care plan developed for Resident
1, so nursing was aware of what was going on and how to provide the oral 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 DON was asked how the nurse would
know when there was a change in condition without an assessment to establish the resident ' s

DON then stated there should be an oral/dental assessment done during the comprehensive admission
assessment. At 10:20 A.M., the medical record director (MRD) joined the interview and reviewed Resident
1 ' s clinical record. The MRD stated Resident 1 did not have a comprehensive assessment done upon

On 5/24/23 at 12:40 P.M., an observation and interview was conducted with Resident 5 inside the resident '
s room. Resident 5 stated she was sick a couple months ago and facility staff accidentally threw away her
bottom denture. Resident 5 stated a replacement should be available to her within a month. Resident 5 was
observed wearing a full upper denture and no lower denture was present.
On 5/24/23 at 2:40 P.M., a joint interview and record review was conducted with the DON and MRD. The
DON and MRD stated there was no written plan of care that addressed the resident ' s dental and oral care
needs. The DON stated there should have been an oral and dental care plan developed for Resident 5. The
DON acknowledged the written dental and oral care plan should have also been developed to address
Resident 5 ' s missing bottom denture.

stated she did not know what to do when the resident complained about tooth pain because that was
considered a dental issue. LN 1 then stated that pain was a nursing concern, and that the resident ' s
physician should have been notified. LN 1 stated Resident 1 ' s tooth pain was not a routine dental concern
but required emergency dental care. LN 1 stated pain could indicate infection and that needed to be taken
care of promptly. LN 1 reviewed Resident 1 ' s progress notes from October 2022 through current date of
interview. LN 1 stated when Resident 1 complained of having tooth pain, there was no documentation that
the LN had notified the physician or facility dentist. LN 1 further stated Resident 1 had complained of tooth
pain since October 2022 and, It ' s been going on too long . LN 1 stated, Toothaches hurt. I wouldn ' t want
to go more than a week without having something done about it.
On 5/5/23 at 11:16 A.M., a telephone interview was conducted with Resident 1 ' s family member (FM) 1.
FM 1 stated Resident 1 first complained of a toothache in October 2022 and that she had reported it to SW
1 and a LN whose name she could not recall. FM 1 stated Resident 1 frequently complained of tooth pain
and that it kept her up at night and was throbbing. FM 1 stated the family had to bring soup in for Resident 1
to eat because she could not chew regular food without having a lot of pain. FM 1 stated Resident 1 had
not been able to enjoy the food she liked to eat because it hurt to bite down. FM 1 stated it bothered her
hearing how often Resident 1 was experiencing tooth pain and the Facility ' s lack of action. FM 1 stated
Resident 1 was not a complainer, and it was significant when the resident kept talking to her about the pain.
FM 1 stated she began emailing SW 1 in November 2022 in an effort to get Resident 1 ' s dental needs
addressed. FM 1 stated Resident 1 ' s jaw and cheek area had been swollen starting around February
2023. FM 1 stated Resident 1 had a toothache for months until the business office manager (BOM) had
seen one of her emails to SW 1 in February 2023 when SW 1 was not at work. FM 1 stated the BOM made
an appointment to have Resident 1 seen by a dentist in a matter of one day. FM 1 stated she did not
understand why SW 1 had been unable to address Resident 1 ' s dental needs for months. FM 1 stated she
had accompanied Resident 1 on that February dental appointment where an infected tooth had been
extracted. FM 1 stated Resident 1 needed all her remaining teeth extracted. FM 1 stated she had a difficult
time getting the facility to assist with this. FM 1 stated due to lack of facility assistance, she had set up an
outside appointment for Resident 1 to have all remaining teeth extracted (for 4/6/23). FM 1 stated when
Resident 1 got to the appointment they would not see a patient in a gurney. FM 1 stated Resident 1 had to
be sent back to the facility unseen by the outside provider. FM 1 stated this was frustrating. FM 1 stated this
had gone on for too long and Resident 1 should not have been in pain and discomfort like this for months.
A review of email correspondence between FM 1 and SW 1 was reviewed and indicated:
11/7/22, from FM 1, .Can you please provide an update on when the dentist will visit [Resident 1]? She is
waiting on a new partial denture and is also experiencing a lot of pain in one of her back teeth right now.
11/8/22, from SW 1, .The dentist will here [sic] tomorrow before 4 pm, and [Resident 1] is first on her list.
1/17/23, from FM 1, .The doctor for [Resident 1], said that you would schedule the appointment at the
hospital for her teeth to be taken care of, and the procedure has already been approved. Is there any word
on the date yet?

been done. It would be appreciated if someone at [facility name] could arrange the care she needs as soon
as possible as she is in a lot of pain and has been waiting a very long time. (The BOM was included in this
email)
Residents Affected - Few
2/23/23, from FM 1 to the BOM, .Aren ' t these arrangements for dental care for [Resident 1] a matter that
the facility would take care of? I emailed [SW 1] several weeks ago and her last email indicated that she
was looking into it.
2/23/23, from the BOM, . Usually yes, the social worker at the facility handles these .Is any dentist that can
get her in the soonest preferred?
2/23/23, from FM 1, . The soonest appointment is definitely preferred. [Resident 1] should not have to be up
all night with a toothache. Because the matter was not addressed four months ago when I sent the first
email, it has now become urgent.
4/26/23, from FM 1, .I just had a 40 minute phone conversation with [state sponsored insurance]. They
stated that [facility name] should have a dentist that comes in and takes care of the dental needs of long
term patients .If your onsite dentist is unable to provide the care [Resident 1] needs they are required .to
provide a referral to someone who can help .The neglect of [Resident 1 ' s] oral care has gone on for an
unacceptable period of time.

[Resident 1]. [Dentist name] also provided the referral for the hospital doctor for the tooth extractions
needed which you are aware .
4/26/23, from FM 1, .I am unaware that any referral that [dentist name] may have provided 6 or more
months ago. If she did so, why didn ' t [facility] follow up and be sure [Resident 1] got to an appointment at
the hospital for the necessary treatment? Last Saturday one of her teeth actually fell out while she was
eating breakfast and she is in a lot of pain every day. Full dentures need to be made for [Resident 1] and an
oral surgeon located to remove all her teeth immediately. This has now become an urgent matter.
On 5/5/23 at 3:30 P.M., a joint interview and record review was conducted with the director of staff
development (DSD). The DSD stated a resident ' s pain, including mouth or dental pain, needed to be
addressed right away. The DSD stated Resident 1 ' s tooth pain could have been from infection and that
was not appropriate for the social services department to manage. 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 referral also indicated the resident
was bedbound and required a gurney.
A review of Resident 1 ' s hospice physician ' s letter dated 3/16/23, indicated, .[Resident 1] needs dental
treatment in a hospital to extract her teeth. Please work with the family to get this procedure scheduled

On 5/23/23 at 3:22 P.M., a telephone interview was conducted with FM 1. FM 1 stated she was unaware
DDS 1 had made a referral for Resident 1 to be seen by an oral surgeon on 12/1/22. FM 1 stated they had
been given the run around by the facility about insurance issues for Resident 1 ' s needed dental treatment.
FM 1 stated the facility did not discuss any problems with Resident 1 ' s Medicaid that would impede the
resident ' s access to treatment. FM 1 stated Resident 1 ' s family had the ability to pay cash for the resident
' s needed dental treatment. FM 1 stated the facility did not discuss a cash option to Resident 1 and her
family in order to expedite the resident ' s treatment. FM 1 stated the whole thing had taken too long and
Resident 1 was in pain. FM 1 stated, She [Resident 1] should be eating tacos by now, and be able to enjoy

she regularly took care of Resident 1. CNA 2 stated Resident 1 complained about her teeth and mouth pain
nearly every meal. CNA 2 stated she did not know how long Resident 1 had been complaining of tooth pain

Resident 1 sometime back in December 2022 or January 2023. The BOM stated during the IDT, Resident 1
' s family discussed the resident ' s dental concerns and SW 1 had told them she was working on it. The

complaining about Resident 1 ' s dental pain and It was a lot of pain complaints. The BOM stated when he
asked SW 1 about it, she would say she had taken care of the issue. The BOM stated in February 2023,
when SW 1 was out, he got involved because Resident 1 ' s issue seemed urgent.
The BOM stated it was not his job responsibility but, When a resident ' s in pain, you have to handle it. The
BOM stated he had no difficulty and did not encounter any insurance issues and was able to schedule an
emergency dental appointment a day or two later for Resident 1. The BOM reviewed resident 1 ' s Dental
Referral Form dated 12/1/22 and stated, It shouldn ' t have taken so long to set something up. 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. The BOM stated toothaches were painful and needed to be handled right away.
A review of Resident 1 ' s emergency dental visit documentation dated 5/16/23, indicated, .patient was

Level of Harm - Actual harm
On 5/24/23 at 10:52 A.M., a joint interview and record review was conducted with DDS 1 by telephone.
DDS 1 stated she provided care and treatment to residents in nursing homes. DDS 1 stated she did not
perform root canals or complicated extractions and that she would refer the resident to an outside provider
if she was unable to provide the care herself inside the nursing home. DDS 1 stated Resident 1 had a
partial denture on top that had been attached to broken teeth. DDS 1 stated she examined Resident 1 in
August and September 2022, and the resident had no complaints of pain at that time. DDS 1 stated she
saw Resident 1 in November 2022, and the resident complained of pain but declined more invasive
treatment at that time. DDS 1 stated she saw Resident 1 again on 12/1/22, and the resident had required a
root canal and/or extractions and she made the referral on 12/1/22 for the resident to be seen by an oral
surgeon. DDS 1 stated the referral had been given to facility staff. DDS 1 stated Resident 1 required
treatment in a hospital type of setting due to her medical condition. DDS 1 stated it was her expectation that
the facility assisted Resident 1 in making the referral appointment since the resident was not able to do that
on her own.
Residents Affected - Few
Resident 1 ' s emergency dental visit documentation dated 5/16/23, was reviewed with DDS 1. DDS 1
stated Resident 1 ' s #18 tooth had become infected at the root and the dentist removed the infected tissue
and prescribed an antibiotic to prevent the spread of the infection. DDS 1 stated the facility had not
contacted her about Resident 1 after the 12/1/22 visit and she had been unaware of Resident 1 ' s 2/27/23
outside emergency dental visit. DDS 1 stated she had assumed the referral she made for Resident 1 on
12/1/22 had been carried out timely. DDS 1 stated she had a routine visit to other residents in facility on
4/12/23 and stopped by to see Resident 1. DDS 1 stated Resident 1 refused to be seen because her family
was setting up a hospital appointment for her teeth. DDS 1 stated she had been surprised in April 2023, to
learn her referral made on 12/1/22 for Resident 1 ' s oral surgery had not been acted upon. DDS 1 stated
her referral for Resident 1 on 12/1/22 had not been carried out in a timely manner. DDS 1 stated if the
12/1/22 referral had been carried out the same month it was made, Resident 1 could have avoided further
pain and tooth infection. DDS 1 stated one or two weeks was too long to have dental pain.
On 5/24/23 at 12:02 P.M., an interview was conducted with Resident 1 while inside the resident ' s room.
Resident 1 stated she still had tooth pain and described it as being an on and off pain. Resident 1 stated
she was still waiting to have her teeth extracted at the hospital. Resident 1 stated she was told SW 1 no
longer worked at the facility. Resident 1 stated, So there ' s no one to take care of it until there ' s a new
social worker. Can you believe that? Resident 1 stated, It ' s aggravating. Resident 1 stated lunch was on
the way, and it was probably soup again. Resident 1 stated she missed being able to eat tacos.
On 5/24/23 at 2:15 P.M., an interview was conducted with the director of nursing (DON). The medical
records director (MRD) was also present. The DON stated she had been In the dark about Resident 1 ' s
dental issues. The DON stated she was unaware Resident 1 had a dental treatment referral from 12/1/22
that had not been carried out. The DON stated nursing should have been involved with Resident 1 ' s dental
concerns since there was pain involved. The DON stated dental pain was a clinical concern and it should
not have been managed by the social services department. The DON stated it was her expectation for
dental referrals to be carried out in a timely manner. The DON stated while social services could make
appointments and arrange transportation, there should have been clinical oversight to ensure dental care
and treatment was being provided to the residents.
On 5/24/23 at 4:55 P.M., an interview was conducted with the administrator (ADM). The DON and MRD
