He was observed trying to drink out of a cup and spilling fluids on his shirt. On 07/16/2025 at 8:41 a.m. Resident #5 was observed sitting up in his bed sleeping, with his breakfast placed in front of him untouched. The resident did not feed self. Record review of an admission record dated 07/17/2025 revealed Resident #5 was admitted to the facility originally on 9/22/2023 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses to include unspecified dementia, moderate, with psychotic disturbance, need for assistance with personal care, type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy, unspecified, and failure to thrive. Review of a Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed Resident #5 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 09, which indicated moderate cognitive impairment. Review of the Change in Condition (CIC) report dated 06/29/2025 revealed Resident #5's change was reported due to food and/ or fluid intake, decreased or unable to eat and /or drink adequate amounts. The CIC revealed nursing observed, evaluated, and completed the referral to therapy form to have speech evaluate Resident #5. Review of a form Referral to Therapy dated 06/26/2025 revealed Nursing referred Resident #5 to be evaluated by therapy for eating/swallowing due to holding food or medication. The referral revealed the nurse observed Resident #5 pocketing medication. Further review revealed nursing completed section one and two on the referral. On 07/16/2025 at 2:18 PM, an interview was conducted with the Therapy Director. She stated she did not receive an evaluation for Resident #5 on 6/29/2025. While reviewing the therapy referral the Therapy Director stated, The nurse who initiated the referral saved and locked the referral so, therapy was not notified through the electronic system. She stated when a referral is initiated the first section is completed by the person requesting the referral. The second section on the referral is always completed by therapy with a response. However, the nurse completed both sections on the referral, so therapy did not receive the notification. She stated the referral process is whoever requests a therapy referral completes the first section, then the referral would show in the system that the referral is in progress. Then therapy will receive notification, then therapy will complete section two on the referral. The Director of Therapy confirmed his department did not receive the referral because the nurse completed both sections and locked it in the electronic system. On 07/16/2025 at 4:00 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Director of Nurses (DON). She stated when a nurse enters a referral in electronic medical record they are supposed to complete the first section and therapy completes the second section. She stated the nurse completed the referral wrong and that was why the resident was not seen by therapy for the pocketing and swallowing concerns. She stated the nurse that initiated the referral in the system is new so she will provide the nurse with more education. She stated nurses are given education when they are hired on how to use the electronic medical record and how to complete therapy referrals. The facility did not have a policy for nursing competencies.
