The DON stated there was a hospice book for each of the hospice resident and she expected all the hospice disciplines to sign in every visit. The DON stated the charge nurses assigned to the hospice residents must document when the hospice nurses and hospice aides visited. The DON stated the RN and LVNs assigned to the hospice residents were responsible for checking if each hospice resident had received the scheduled visits from the hospice disciplines, which must be documented in each of the resident's hospice binder under the sign in sheet and/or staff communication note. In addition, the DON stated it was important for each hospice discipline to sign in the hospice binder to show hospice services were provided to the hospice residents. The DON stated if the charge nurses have checked the hospice binder and noted missing hospice visits, they should inform the social services staff, who would follow up with the hospice company during the care conference. Furthermore, the DON stated with hospice services not coming in the facility for hospice residents would not have made any difference, however, the 1:1 support from hospice care would be missing. On 10/7/25 at 1540 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON and Administrator. The DON and Administrator were informed and acknowledged the above findings.
