What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. Based on observation, interview and record review, facility failed to ensure that the Licensed nurse (LVN) notified Resident 1 ' s family member (FM) about a change of condition (COC -a sudden or acute deviation from a patient ' s baseline that may lead to complications or death if left untreated) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) in accordance with the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled Change of condition management guideline revised 9/11/2023, by failing to notify Resident 1 ' s FM after a COC occurred on 8/6/2024. This deficient practice violated Resident 1 ' s FM ' s right to be notified of Resident 1 ' s care services provided and had the potential to result in lack of proper care and services. Findings: A review of Residents 1 ' s admission Record indicated the facility initially Resident 1 on 9/1/2011 and readmitted Resident 1 on 8/30/2024 with diagnoses including diabetes (a disease in which your body does not produce enough insulin needed to control sugar levels in the blood), hypertension (HTN - elevated blood pressure), and dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities). A review of Resident 1 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standard assessment and care screening tool) dated 6/7/2024, indicated Resident 1 had cognitive impairment (when a person has trouble remembering, learning new things, concentrating, or making decisions that affect their everyday life). The MDS indicated Resident 1 was dependent on staff for toileting, shower, chair to bed transfer and personal hygiene. MDS also indicated that Resident 1 is always incontinent of bowel and bladder. A review of Resident 1 ' s Skin assessment date 8/6/2024, at 3:05 P.M., indicated that Resident 1 had perianal (the area of skin surrounding the anus) moisture associated skin damage (MASD -skin inflammation [body ' s response system to injury or infection] or erosion [loss of the outer layer of the skin] cause by prolonged exposure to moisture). During an interview on 9/17/2024, at 2:32 P.M., with family member (FM), FM stated she was not aware that Resident 1 had MASD. During a concurrent interview and records review on 9/18/2024, at 12:07 P.M., with Medical Records Director (MRD), Resident 1 ' s COC and nursing progress notes for the month of 8/2024 were reviewed. MRD stated there is no documented evidence of MASD in the coc or the progress notes the only coc ' s I see are for when she (Resident 1) had covid, those are the only two in there for the month of 8/2024.
