Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of six final sampled
residents (Resident 7) reviewed for psychotropic use was informed of the indication for the use of
psychotropic medications (medication affecting brain activities associated with mental processes and
behavior).
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 7's informed consent was obtained when the indication for the use of
risperidone (an antipsychotic medication used for mental illness that causes disturbed or unusual thinking)
was changed to racing thought. This failure had the potential for Resident 7 to not be informed of the
medication and potential effects of risperidone.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Psychotropic Medication Use dated 7/2023 showed the residents,
families, and/or representatives are involved in the medication management process. Residents (and/or
representatives) have the right to decline treatment with psychotropic medications.
Medical record review for Resident 7 was initiated on 9/19/24. Resident 7 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 7's H&P examination dated 6/17/24, showed the resident had the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 7's Facility Verification of Informed Consent form dated 6/17/24 , showed risperidone
0.5 mg at bedtime for schizoaffective disorder manifested by injury to self (suicidal ideation) signed by the
physician on 6/19/24.
Review of Resident 7's Order Summary Report dated 9/19/24, showed an order dated 7/26/24, for
risperidone 0.5 mg tablet by mouth at bedtime for schizoaffective disorder manifested by racing thoughts.
Review of Resident 7's MAR for September 2024 showed Resident 7 had received risperidone 0.5 mg
tablet by mouth at bedtime since 7/11/24.
On 9/19/24 at 1444 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 2.
LVN 2 verified the Facility Verification of Informed Consent form showed risperidone 0.5 mg at bedtime for
schizoaffective disorder manifested by injury to self . LVN 2 stated the informed consent should have been
obtained to indicate the use of risperidone for the manifestation of racing

Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to assess one of 21
final sampled residents (Resident 74) for their self-administration of the medications. This failure had the
potential to negatively impact the residents' physiological well-being and could administer the medications
inaccurately.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Self-Administration of Medications revised February 2021 showed the
residents have the right to self-administer medications if the interdisciplinary team has determined that it is
clinically appropriate and safe for the resident to do so. The IDT assesses each resident's cognitive and
physical abilities to determine whether self-administering medications is safe and clinically appropriate for
the resident. Further review of the policy showed resident who are identified as being able to self-administer
the medication are asked whether they wish to do so. The policy also showed any medications found at the
bedside that are not authorized for self-administration are turned over to the nurse in charge for return to
the family or responsible party.
On 9/17/24 at 0904 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with Resident 74.
Resident 74 was observed sitting on the side of the bed, the tetrahydrozoline (medication that can relieve
minor eye irritation and redness) eye drop medication was observed on the table located at the left side of
the bed. Resident 74 stated she had been self-administering the eye drops.
Medical record review for Resident 74 was initiated on 9/17/24. Resident 74 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 74's H&P examination dated 4/19/24, showed Resident 74 had no capacity to
understand and make medical decisions.
Review of Resident 74's Admission/readmission Data Tool v2 dated 4/18/24, under the self administration
of medication evaluation section, showed Resident 74 did not want to self-administer the medications.
Furthermore, there was no documented evidence of a physician's order for self-administration of the
tetrahydrozoline eye drop and to be stored at the resident's bedside.
On 9/17/24 at 0907 hours, an observation, interview, and concurrent medical record review for Resident 74
was conducted with LVN 6. LVN 6 verified Resident 74 had the tetrahydrozoline eye drop at the bedside
and verified Resident 74 had no physician's order for the eye drop medication. LVN 6 stated Resident 74
should not have the eye drop medication at the bedside.
On 9/19/24 at 1237 hours, an interview with the DON was conducted. The DON was informed and
acknowledged the above findings.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the
reasonable accommodations to meet the care needs for two of 21 final sampled residents (Residents 4 and
72).
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure Residents 4 and 72's call lights were kept within the residents' reach. This
failure had the potential to negatively impact the residents' psychosocial well-being or result in a delay to
provide care and services to the residents.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Answering the Call Light revised 9/2022, showed the purpose of this
procedure is to ensure timely responses to the resident's requests and needs. Ensure that the call light is
accessible to the resident when in bed, from the toilet, from the shower or bathing facility and from the floor.
1. Medical Record review for Resident 4 was initiated on 9/19/24. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 4's MDS Quarterly assessment dated [DATE], Section B, showed the resident could
make self-understood and can understand others. Section GG for functional abilities and goals showed
Resident 4 had impairment in mobility of both upper extremities and in one of the lower extremities.
Review of Resident 4's H&P examination dated 9/5/24, showed Resident 4 had the capacity to understand
and make decisions.
On 9/20/24 at 0814 hours, Resident 4 was observed in bed with the breakfast tray on the overbed table in
front of the resident. Resident 4 requested for assistance from the surveyor as she could not reach the call
light which was observed to be placed by her left knee on the bed. Resident 4 wanted to reach her juice in
the meal tray that was placed on the right upper side of the meal tray. A facility staff was called to assist the
resident.
On 9/20/24 at 0828 hours, CNA 1 came by and assisted the resident to reposition the resident and placed
the juice within the resident's reach.
On 9/20/24 at 0940 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 1. CNA 1 verified Resident 4's call light
was not within the resident's reach and was placed by the left knee of the resident.
2. Medical record review for Resident 72 was initiated on 9/17/24. Resident 72 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE].
On 9/20/24 at 0854 hours, Resident 72's call light was observed on the floor, on the right side of the bed,
and not within the resident's reach. When Resident 72 was asked how she called for help if she needed
assistance, Resident 72 stated she had a red button to push. When resident 72 was asked if she knew
where her call light button was, she stated, I don't know, could you find it for me.
On 9/20/24 at 0855 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with CNA 5 verified

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, facility P&P review, and facility document review, the facility failed to address and follow through
with the concerns brought up in the resident council meetings (a group of residents gathered to discuss
interests and issues noted in facility).
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to complete the request for the OCTA Access forms for the residents.
* The facility failed to thoroughly address regarding the concerns about the CNAs' mannerisms when
answering the residents.
These failures had the potential for the residents' identified issues to go uncorrected.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Resident Council revised 2/2021 showed the facility supports the
residents' rights to organize and participate in the resident council. A Resident Council Response Form will
be utilized to track issues and their resolution. The facility department related to any issues will be
responsible for addressing the item(s) of concern.
1. Review of the facility's Resident Council Minutes showed the resident council meeting was held on
6/27/24 at 1430 hours.
Review of the Resident Council Minutes New Business dated 6/18/24, attached to the Resident Council
Minutes dated 6/27/24, showed: the request for the OCTA access forms appointment needed to be clear to
the residents.
Review of the Department Response Form dated 6/27/24, showed the concern to follow-up for the OCTA
access form was delayed. The facility's response showed due to the director of social services no longer
with the facility, they had the new Social Services Director who would follow up. The Department Response
Form also showed the concern was resolved to Resident(s)'s satisfaction by a circled Yes response;
however, there was no documentation to show regarding the follow-up efforts to obtain the OCTA access
form for the residents.
On 9/19/24 at 0902 hours, an interview and concurrent record review was conducted with the AD. The AD
stated she facilitated the resident council meetings, notified the department heads of concerns and made
sure there was a follow-through within 72 hours. The AD further stated if there was no follow-through within
the 72 hours, she talked to the people responsible to address the concerns and then followed-up with the
Administrator. Review of Department Response form dated 6/27/24, showed the concern to follow up for
the OCTA access form was delayed. The AD stated the OCTA form was to get authorization for
transportation access for the residents to go to the outings. The AD stated she gave the form to the
previous Social Services Director, but she left. The AD stated she followed up with the new SSD; however,
the SSD returned the blank OCTA access forms to her.
On 9/19/24 at 0930 hours, an interview and concurrent record review was conducted with the SSD. When
the SSD was asked about the concern documented in the Resident Council Minutes dated 6/27/24,
regarding the OCTA access forms, the SSD stated she had not seen the form with the OCTA concerns and
was not aware of the concern. The SSD further stated she would have followed up with OCTA and checked

investigation, the resident did not recall any incident. The Department Response Form failed to show
documentation on how the facility addressed the same concern from the residents in room [ROOM
NUMBER]C and 2B. The section on the form asking if the concern was resolved to the resident(s)
satisfaction was left blank.
On 9/19/24 at 0902 hours, an interview and concurrent record review was conducted with the AD. The AD
verified the concern documented in the meeting minute dated 8/16/24, by the residents in Rooms 1C, 2B,

showed the comprehensive, person-centered care plan describes the services that are to be furnished to
attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being including
services that would otherwise be provided for the above but are not provided due to the resident exercising
his or her rights, including the right to refuse treatment. The facility's P&P also showed comprehensive
person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's
physical, psychosocial, and functional needs to be developed and implemented for each resident. The P&P
further showed comprehensive person-centered care plan would reflect currently recognized standards of
practice for problem areas and conditions.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to provide services to attain or maintain
the highest practicable well-being for one of 21 final sampled residents (Resident 7).
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to follow the physician's order for Resident 7 for cervical collar at all times every shift.
This failure posed the risk of adverse effects to Residents 7's well-being.
Findings:
Medical record review for Resident 7 was initiated on 09/18/24. Resident 7 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of the MDS comprehensive assessment dated [DATE] showed the resident's BIMS score of 12.
Review of Resident 7's H&P examination dated 9/16/24, showed the resident had the capacity. The H&P
examination also showed diagnoses including cervical fracture.
Review of the Order Summary Report dated 9/18/24, showed a physician's order dated 6/15/24, for cervical
collar at all times every shift.
Review of Resident 7's Plan of Care showed a care plan problem initiated on 6/16/24, for Immobilizer- At
risk of skin alteration related to presence of neck immobilizer. The interventions initiated 7/14/24, included
cervical collar at all times.
.
On 09/18/24 at 1010 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with Resident 7.
Resident 7 was observed sitting in a chair in her room without a cervical collar. When asked if Resident 7
was supposed to have her cervical collar on, Resident 7 stated no, she stopped wearing the neck collar on
Friday 9/6/24, after her appointment with her neurosurgeon. Resident 7 further stated she gave the neck
collar to one of her friends on 9/6/24, for safe keeping in case she would need the cervical collar in the
future.
On 09/18/24 at 1017 hours, an observation and concurrent interview and medical record review were
conducted with LVN 8. During an observation of Resident 7, LVN 8 verified Resident 7 did not have a
cervical collar on as per the physician's orders. When asked if Resident 7 had an order for the cervical
collar, observed LVN 8 printed Resident 7's physician orders from Resident 7's electronic health record and
verified there was an order for the cervical collar to be worn at all times every shift, and there was no
discontinuation date. LVN 8 also verified there was a care plan for the cervical collar to be worn at all times
without a discontinuation date. LVN 8 further stated there should have been a follow up by the licensed
nurse when Resident 7 returned from her appointment with her neurosurgeon on 9/6/24; and by not
following the physician's order for the cervical collar to be worn at all times, this could potentially affect
Resident 7's quality of care and that it was important to make sure Resident 7 was receiving the care as
per the physician's orders for her overall health to get better.

loss mattress and to monitor the low air loss mattress for setting every shift.
Review of Resident 13's Braden Scale For Predicting Pressure Sore Risk dated 8/21/24, showed Resident
13 was at a high risk for developing pressure ulcer.
Review of Resident 13's MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 13 was totally dependent on the staff
asssitance for bed mobility. Further review of the MDS showed Resident 13 had severely impaired cognitive
skills for daily decision making.
Review of Resident 13's H&P examination dated 4/29/24, showed Resident 13 had no capacity to
understand and make medical decisions.
Review of Resident 13's Weight and Vitals Summary showed on 9/6/24, Resident 13's weight was 103
pounds.
On 9/19/24 at 1403 hours, a concurrent interview and medical record review for Resident 13 was
conducted with the MDS Coordinator. The MDS Coordinator stated the low air loss mattress should be set
according to the resident's weight. The MDS Coordinator verified Resident 13's weight was 103 pounds and
the resident was at high risk for developing a pressure ulcer.
On 9/19/24 at 1412 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with the MDS
Coordinator. Resident 13 was observed lying in bed on air loss mattress, the setting on the air loss
mattress showed 250 pounds, the MDS Coordinator verified the observation and stated the setting for the
air loss mattress should be set based on the resident's weight which was 103 pounds. The MDS
Coordinator was observed changing setting of the low air loss mattress for 103 pounds weight.
On 9/19/24 at 1417 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 9. LVN 9 stated she was responsible to
monitor setting on the low air loss mattress. LVN 9 further stated the hospice services provided the
mattress for Resident 13, and the setting should be set according to the resident comfort; however,
Resident 13 was not able to verbalize the comfort level, so it should have been set according to Resident
13's weight.

On 9/18/24 at 1218 hours, an observation and concurrent interview and medical record review for Resident
86 was conducted with LVN 7. LVN 7 verified Resident 86 had a physician's order to wear WanderGuard on
the left wrist and was not wearing a WanderGuard. LVN 7 stated Resident 86 should be wearing the
WanderGuard for his safety and because he was at risk for wandering and elopement.
On 9/18/24 at 1305 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 verified
Resident 86 was not wearing a WanderGuard. RN 1 stated she knew of Resident 86's physician's order for
a WanderGuard to be applied to his left wrist; however, Resident 86 was never provided with a
WanderGuard and it was never applied. RN 1 further stated the WandergGuard should have been applied
to Resident 86 as per the physican's orders and care plan.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure
two of 21 final sampled residents (Residents 2 and 86) received the necessary care and services to
prevent accident hazards.
* The facility failed to thoroughly investigate and document Resident 2's cause of skin tear on the right
buttock.
* The facility failed to ensure the physician's order for Resident 86 to wear WanderGuard at all times was
followed.
These failures had the potential to negatively impact the residents' well-being.

Supervisors to carry out and follow up with the physician. The DON stated the weekly weight orders should
be communicated to the RNA, so they would know to weigh the residents weekly. The DON reviewed
Resident 4's order for weekly weights and weight entries and verified weekly weights were not completed
as ordered. The DON stated the resident should have been weighed withing 24 hours of the order date,
then every seven days from that first weekly weight. The DON stated the order was discontinued on 9/1/24,
when the resident was transferred to the acute care hospital and was reordered when they returned on
9/4/24. The DON stated the resident missed two weekly weights.
Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure three of six
final sampled residents reviewed for weight loss (Residents 4, 13, and 35) received the appropriate
services needed to maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional status.
* The facility failed to implement interventions to maintain Resident 13's nutritional status when the resident
experienced severe weight loss. The facility failed to notify Resident 13's physician and responsible party in
timely manner and failed to ensure the IDT analyzed and implemented the necessary interventions to
address Resident 13's severe weight loss.
* Residents 4 and 35's weekly weights were not completed as ordered by the physicians.
These failures had the potential to result in the lack of implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the
effectiveness of nutritional interventions and related outcomes and increase the potential for further weight
loss and/or nutritional decline.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Weight Assessment and Intervention dated May 2023 showed the
resident weights are monitored for undesirable or unintended weight loss or gain. The P&P showed the
suggested parameters:
a). 1 months- 5% weight loss is significant, greater than 5% is severe;
b). 3 month- 7.5% weight loss is significant; greater than 7.5% is severe; and,
c). 6 months- 10% weight loss is significant; greater than 10% is severe.
Further review of the facility's P&P showed the physician and multidisciplinary team identify condition and
medication that may be causing anorexia, weight loss or increasing the risk of weight loss.
Medical record review for Resident 13 was initiated on 9/18/24. Resident 13 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 13's Weight Change Note dated 9/13/24 at 2041 hours, showed Resident 13's weights

and responsible party were notified of the weight loss (six days after severe weight loss was identified).
Further review Resident 13's medical records failed to show documented evidence an IDT evaluation of the
severe weight loss was conducted.
On 9/20/24 at 0859 hours, a concurrent interview and medical record review for Resident 13 was
conducted with RN 1. RN 1 verified the above findings and stated Resident 13 was on hospice services;
however, when the facility identified Resident 13's significant weight changes on 9/13/24, the resident's
physician and responsible party should have been notified immediately and IDT review of weight loss
should have been conducted.
On 9/20/24 at 0912 hours, a concurrent interview and medical record review for Resident 13 was
conducted with the DON. The DON verified and acknowledged the above findings.

84%, and stated that was a low reading. LVN 5 then increased the resident's oxygen to 6 liters per minute.
On 9/19/24 at 1028 hours, Resident 27 was observed with oxygen 7 liters per minute via nasal cannula
being administered.
Residents Affected - Few
On 9/19/24 at 1045 hours, an observation and interview were conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated Resident
27 was on oxygen at 7 liters per minute, and the resident had a PRN order to administer oxygen up to 10
liters per minute.
On 9/19/24 1331 hours, an interview and concurrent record review were conducted with RN 2. RN 2
verified Resident 27's administration record for September 2024 showed the resident was administered
their routine oxygen at 2-3 liters per minute and did not receive PRN oxygen up to 10 liters per minute.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide
the necessary respiratory care for five of six final sampled resident (Residents 2, 4, 27, 72, and 442) and
one nonsampled resident (Resident 12) reviewed for respiratory care and services.
* The facility failed to ensure the physician's order for oxygen therapy was followed for Resident 442. In
addition, the facility failed to clarify the physician's order when the order did not show how high the oxygen
could be titrated for Resident 442.
* Resident 12's oxygen concentrator was observed in the hallway, and the door was closed with
compressing oxygen tubing. This failure posed the risk of Resident 12 not receiving her oxygen.
* Resident 27 was not administered continuous oxygen as ordered by the physician.
*The facility failed to ensure Resident 72's oxygen titration order included the parameter for the oxygen to
be titrate up to.
* The facility failed to ensure there was a physician's order for the administration of oxygen for Resident 2.
In addition, the facility failed to ensure the licensed nurse documented Resident 2's change of condition
when the resident had low oxygen saturation level at 89%.
* Resident 4's suction machine and two suction machine canisters were observed on the floor.
These failures had the potential to negatively affect the residents' medical conditions.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Oxygen Administration revised October 2010 showed to verify the
physician's order for the procedure and to review the physician's order or facility protocol for oxygen
administration. Under the section for documentation showed after completing the oxygen setup or
completion, the information should be recorded in the resident medical record which included the reason for
PRN (as needed) administration.

RN 1 verified the above orders. RN 1 stated Resident 72 was transferred to the hospital on 8/9/24, and
returned to the facility on 8/12/24. RN 1 verified at the time the resident was readmitted to the facility, there
was no order for oxygen administration because Resident 72 did not need it, the oxygen saturation levels
were OK, and the order to change humidifier, nasal cannula and tubing should have been discontinued.
When asked for the reason why an oxygen order for Resident 2 was received on 9/18/24, to titrate to start
at 2L/min via nasal cannula to maintain oxygen saturation at 88-89%, RN 1 stated she did not know why
and Resident 72 did not need it. RN 1 also verified the oxygen order should have included a specific
parameter as to how much they cloud titrate the oxygen. RN 1 verified the oxygen order dated 9/18/24, was
obtained by LVN 6; however, there was no documentation as to why the physician was contacted to obtain
the oxygen order. RN 1 stated there should have been documentation in Resident 72's progress notes.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of
the facility's P&P titled Psychotropic Medication Use dated July 2022 showed psychotropic medication are
not prescribed or given on a PRN basis unless that medication is necessary to treat a diagnosed specific
condition that is documented in the clinical record. Further review of the P&P showed the PRN order for
psychotropic medication are limited to 14 days. The P&P also showed for psychotropic medication that are
not antipsychotic and if prescriber or attending physician believes it is appropriate to extend the PRN
medication beyond 14 days, he or she will document the rational for extending the use and include the
duration for the PRN order.
Medical record review for Resident 2 was initiated on 9/20/24. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 2's Physician Order Summary dated 7/28/24 showed an order for lorazepam 0.5 mg
every six hours as needed. Further review of the order did not show an end date for lorazepam use.
Further review of Resident 2's medical record did not show a documented reason for the extension of
lorazepam beyond 14 days.
On 9/20/24 at 1421 hours, a concurrent interview and medical record review for Resident 2 was conducted
with the DON. The DON verified the above findings and stated the PRN order for psychotropic medication
should only be limited to 14 days, if the resident required medication more than 14 days, then there should
have been a documented reason for extension of the PRN psychotropic medication. The DON was not able
to show the documented reason for extension of the lorazepam medication for Resident 2 beyond 14 days.
Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure two of five
final sampled residents (Residents 2 and 7) reviewed for psychotropic medications (medication affecting
brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) was free from unnecessary psychotropic
medications.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 7's behavior manifestation and side effects were monitored
accurately for the use of risperidone (an antipsychotic medication used for mental illness that causes
disturbed or unusual thinking).
* The facility failed to ensure the PRN order for lorazepam (antianxiety medication)was limited to 14 days
for Resident 2.
These failures posed the risk of unnecessary medications for these residents and negatively affects the
residents' health and well-being.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Psychotropic Medication Use dated 7/2022 showed the drugs in the
categories considered psychotropic medications are subject to prescribing, monitoring, and review
requirements specific to antipsychotics. Residents receiving psychotropic medications are monitored

Arrange for the provision of hospice services or assist the resident in transferring to a facility that will
arrange for the provision of hospice services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care
and services for two of two final sampled residents reviewed for hospice services (Residents 2 and 13).
* The facility failed to ensure the hospice was notified regarding significant weight loss for Residents 2 and
13.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 2 received the hospice nursing visits two times per week as per the
plan of care.
These failures posed the risk for delays in the communication between the hospice provider and the facility
which may affect resident care.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Weight Assessment and Intervention dated May 2023 showed the
resident weights are monitored for undesirable or unintended weight loss or gain. The P&P showed the
suggested parameters:
a). 1 months- 5% weight loss is significant, greater than 5% is severe;
b). 3 month- 7.5% weight loss is significant; greater than 7.5% is severe; and,
c). 6 months- 10% weight loss is significant; greater than 10% is severe.
Review of the facility P&P titled Hospice Program revised 7/2017 showed hospice services are available to
the residents at the end of life. In general, it is the responsibility of the facility to meet the resident's
personal care and nursing needs in coordination with the hospice representative, and ensure that the level
of care provided is appropriately based on the individual resident needs. These responsibilities include
notifying the hospice about a significant change in the resident's physical, mental, social, or emotional
status.
