F 0677 top part of Resident #100's gown. At 1:42 PM, the lunch tray was taken out of the room and Resident #100 was partially cleaned but not around her gown area. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A thorough review of Resident #100's Care Plan dated 11/19/2024 stated the following: Residents Affected - Few Observe meal intake, and report lack of intake. In an interview conducted on 11/06/2024 at 10:00 AM with Staff D, Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment Coordinator for Long Term Care (LTC) was asked the meaning of substantial/maximal assistance during dining for Resident #100. She stated that staff would need to provide more than 50% of the work while feeding Resident #100. This would require handover hand assistance during the entire mealtime. According to Staff D, staff would be doing most of the work and be present throughout the feeding process. In an interview conducted on 11/06/2024 at 10:20 AM with Staff E, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), she stated Resident #100 can eat alone and doesn't need assistance. She further stated that Resident #100 usually eats between 50 to 75 % of her food. In an interview conducted on 11/06/2024 at 10:30 AM with the facility's clinical Dietitian she stated that Resident #100 has a varied intake of meals and that she is also on tube feeding regimen to substitute for the remaining intake of meals. The goal is to eventually decrease the tube feeding until most of Resident #100's intake comes from the diet by mouth. The Dietitian also reported that Resident #100 needs assistance with her meals and it is important to eat her meals since they are fortified for added nutritional value.

Residents Affected - Few The findings included: Record review revealed Resident #125 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Aphasia following cerebral infarction, Cerebral infarction, and Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Her Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was 1 (indicating severe cognitive impairment), on the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) with a assessment reference date of 08/30/24. On 11/04/24 at 10:30 AM Resident #125 was interviewed as part of the initial screening process. She could not answer questions asked but when the surveyor asked if she had pain she nodded yes and grabbed the left side of her face. The surveyor then spoke with Staff A, a Registered Nurse (RN), relaying that the resident indicated to the surveyor that she had pain on the left side of her face. An additional interview was conducted with the resident on 11/05/24 at 1:55 PM in her room. She was asked how she was feeling today and she pointed to the left side of her face. When asked if it was the same pain as yesterday she nodded yes. When asked if it was tooth pain she nodded yes. An interview was conducted with Staff A on 11/05/24 at 2:00 PM regarding if the resident was given anything for pain yesterday. She responded that she did not remember but if she did, it would be documented in the computer. Staff A was asked if the resident had been complaining of tooth pain and Staff A stated that she did not know. A review of the documentation for 11/04/24 revealed the resident did not receive any pain relief and there was no nursing documentation relating to tooth pain. An interview was conducted Staff B, a Social Worker, on 11/05/24 at 2:15 PM. Staff B was asked if the resident had been seen by the dentist. She called the dental service that provides care to the facility. They stated she had not been seen. Staff B stated she was not on the list to be seen by the dentist. She was then asked what the procedure was after a dental consult order was put in. She stated the nurse would usually notify the Social Worker to make the appointment but maybe it slipped through the cracks because the resident went into long term recently. A review of progress notes revealed prn (as needed) medication administration of (Acetaminophen tablet 325 milligrams 2 tablets by mouth every 6 hours as needed for pain) was administered on the following days for tooth pain: 11/06/24, 11/05/24, 10/15/24 for toothache 7/10 (pain level), 10/11/24 for toothache 7/10, 10/04/24 for a toothache 7/10, 10/02/24 for a toothache 8/10, 09/13/24 for toothache 7/10, and 09/07/24 for toothache 7/10. On 09/07/24 a dental consult was ordered. The dentist saw the resident on 10/21/24. Record review revealed the facility did not reach out to the dentist when the resident continued to complain of tooth pain and the dentist had not yet come to see her. On 11/06/24 at 3:24 PM, the dentist called the surveyor. He stated he was unable to determine when the office received the referral from the facility to see Resident #125. He stated he did not think it was on 09/07/24 because he was in the facility after that and before 10/21/24 and she was not seen at that time.
