Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, staff interviews, medical record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to
ensure that one (Resident #63) of seven residents diagnosed with dementia, from a total of 31 residents in
the sample, received the appropriate treatment and services to attain or maintain his or her highest
practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility must provide dementia treatment and services which may include, but are not limited to the
following:
1. Ensuring adequate medical care, diagnosis, and supports based on diagnosis;
2. Ensuring that the necessary care and services are person-centered and reflect the resident's goals,
while maximizing the resident's dignity, autonomy, privacy, socialization, independence, choice, and safety;
and
3. Utilizing individualized, non-pharmacological approaches to care (e.g., purposeful and meaningful
activities). Meaningful activities are those that address the resident's customary routines, interests,
preferences, and choices to enhance the resident's well-being.
The findings include:
On 6/6/22 at 12:20 p.m., Resident #63 was observed eating a meal in a monitored dining room setting. She
was observed putting her paper napkin in her mouth and attempting to chew/eat it. Licensed Practical
Nurse (LPN) A was observed monitoring the residents and did not observe Resident #63 with the paper
napkin in her mouth. LPN A was alerted to the resident's mouthing/chewing on the paper napkin. LPN A
attempted to take the paper napkin away from resident, but the resident refused and was observed
becoming angry with staff. LPN A was observed bargaining with the resident by offering the resident a
plastic spoon in exchange for the paper napkin, which the resident refused. With more verbal
encouragement, Resident #63 finally gave the paper napkin to LPN A by spitting it out. LPN A was asked if
this was the resident's usual behavior. She stated, Yes, she likes to eat paper or chew on it at least.
In an interview with LPN A on 6/8/22 at 12:00 p.m., she was asked if she had observed Resident #63
eating non-food items on other occasions. She stated, Yes, she likes to chew on paper napkins; she does it
all the time. She was asked if the resident had been observed attempting to eat any other non-food items
and she replied, No, just paper things like napkins and tissues. She was asked if the resident was
monitored for this behavior. She stated, No, but we keep an eye on her. She is monitored for exit-seeking
behaviors.

A review of the facility's policy/procedure titled Dementia Care (last revised 7/11/18) revealed:
Concern identified: Individualized approaches to care will be utilized to focus on the residents' needs in an
attempt to reduce behavioral expressions of distress. Behavioral interventions are individualized
approaches provided as a part of a supportive physical and psychosocial environment directed toward
understanding, preventing, relieving, and/or accommodating a resident's distress or loss of abilities. Care
not only focuses on meeting the physical needs of the resident but also the social, emotional, and spiritual,
and/or assisting the resident to maintain optimal quality of life through respect, gentleness, and
understanding. Thus the following aims of care are foremost: Promotion and maintenance of a safe
environment.
