F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 1/31/2025 at 2:55 PM, the DON stated, [Resident #1's name] mentioned his prostate and history of cancer this past Monday or Tuesday. I was going to call FL [Florida] Cancer Center and contact his primary to address. I started here on November 13, 2024. Prior to Monday, [Resident #1's name] had not verbalized any concerns to me regarding cancer treatments. Patients that require cancer treatments have no issues in getting treatments while in the facility. The residents are allowed to make their own appointments. We have residents that do schedule their own appointments and just let the scheduler know. During an interview on 1/31/2025 at 4:01 PM, the APRN #1 stated, I see him once a month. I know he has a catheter. Really the doctor appointments [Resident #1's name] is requesting are follow ups they are not urgent. I gave all the orders to the nurses. The facility has gone through transition and has had a lot of changes. Maybe making the appointment has fallen through. He has had chest x-ray for upper respiratory infection and course of treatment has been provided. He is not coughing. He will complain over every little thing and referrals and appointments can take weeks. Pulmonologists can wait for outpatient it is not asap (as soon as possible). It is not a broken hip that needs to be seen in a certain time frame. He came from the outside world with all these issues, you treat for what he came in for until discharge. The appointments are not urgent. He is the one requesting the follow ups which can be managed outpatient. He also has a phone and an ipad and could be able to make his own appointments. He is never happy. The appointments are based on his [Resident #1] request not on medical need, They are not urgent or detrimental to his health. Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Quality of Care revised on 3/2/2019 showed it read, Policy: It is the policy of the facility to ensure it identifies and provides needed care and services that are resident centered, in accordance with the resident's preferences, goals for care and professional standards of practice that will meet each resident's physical, mental and psychosocial needs.
