The resident was sitting up in bed, preparing for breakfast, using a hearing amplifier device to hear. The resident had natural teeth, missing teeth on the bottom and had bilateral hand contractures. She revealed, she had not seen a dentist in a long time and wanted to see the dentist. Review of the Demographic Face Sheet for Resident #28 documented the resident was admitted on [DATE] with a diagnosis of heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, schizophrenia, hearing loss and major depressive disorder.

Review of the Dental Care Plan for Resident #28 documented the following: Focus: Resident with some natural teeth loss. Resident has lower natural teeth (some missing pieces) (written 6/19/2023; reviewed and updated); Goals: Resident will not have any s/s (signs/symptoms) of discomfort/complications related to teeth loss left unmanaged through next review date; Resident will not have any s/s of discomfort/complications related to teeth loss or use of dentures left unmanaged through next review date and Interventions: Dental consult as needed/as per facility protocol; Assist resident with oral care daily as needed; Assess for loose fitting dentures and report as needed.
