F 0791 Provide or obtain dental services for each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, and resident and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure 1 (Resident #19) of 3 residents reviewed for dental services received appropriate care and services for broken teeth. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: On 4/15/24 at 12:43 p.m., Resident #19 revealed she had missing upper and lower teeth. The resident said she lost several of her teeth several months ago, and because of the missing teeth, her diet was changed to mechanical soft so she could eat her food. She said she would like to eat regular food, but due to her missing teeth, she is unable to eat a regular diet. A review of Resident #19's medical record revealed her original admission to the facility was on 11/16/17 and a readmission on [DATE]. The Nursing admission assessment dated [DATE] stated Resident #19 had no broken or loosely fitting full or partial dentures, natural teeth or tooth fragments, or chewing or swallowing difficulty. A dietary progress note dated 10/24/22, said Resident #19 had lost three front teeth, and due to this, her diet would be changed to a mechanical soft diet/food. A care plan meeting progress note, dated 10/25/22, stated the meeting was attended by the facility's interdisciplinary team (IDT) and Resident #19's daughter, said Resident #19 recently lost teeth. The daughter will have to arrange an appointment with the resident's dentist and let the nursing department know the date of the dental appointment. The daughter was told transportation to the dental appointment would be at her expense. A dietary progress note dated 10/25/22 said Resident #19's daughter attended the care plan meeting and was aware her mother's diet was changed to a mechanical soft diet due to the loss of the three front teeth. The daughter was aware Resident #19's teeth need to be fixed. The care plan meeting progress note, dated 1/31/23, stated the meeting was attended by the IDT and Resident #19's daughter. The IDT wrote that Resident #19 was stable overall. The Social Worker (SW) asked the daughter if she had arranged for a funeral home in the event of Resident #19's death. The daughter said the funeral homes wanted prepayment, and she didn't have the money set aside to pay for the funeral home. She wanted any money she had for her mother's teeth replacement. A review of the facility's Dental Services policy noted that it was not dated. The policy stated that routine and emergency dental services were available to meet the residents' oral health needs in accordance with the resident's assessment and plan of care. The policy said oral health services were available to meet the resident's needs, and routine and emergency dental services were provided to their resident through referral to the resident's personal dentist, community dentist, or other health care organization that provides dental services. A list of community dentists available to provide dental services would be provided to the residents and was available from Social Services. Social Services personnel were responsible for assisting the resident/family in making dental appointments and transportation arrangements as necessary. On 4/18/24 at 11:53 a.m., in an interview with the Social Service Director (SSD), she confirmed (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 106085 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 11 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 106085 B.

F 0791 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few during the care plan meeting on 10/25/22 with the IDT and Resident #19's daughter, that Resident #19 had lost three front teeth, causing her diet to be changed to mechanical soft diet/food because of the missing teeth. She said Resident #19 was on Medicaid, and the IDT told Resident #19's daughter she was responsible for finding a dental service to fix Resident #19's broken teeth. The SSD said after reviewing Resident #19's medical record, she could not find documentation of the facility finding a dental service to fix Resident #19's broken teeth or documentation the facility had assisted Resident #19's daughter in finding dental services to fix Resident #19's broken teeth. The SSD said she would contact Resident #19's daughter to determine if Resident #19's daughter had found a dental service to fix Resident #19's broken teeth, as noted in the 10/25/22 care plan meeting. On 4/18/24 at 3:04 p.m., in an interview with the SSD, she said she had received an email from Resident #19's daughter stating this was a follow-up email to their previous conversation regarding Resident #19's dental care. Resident #19's daughter said she was unable to find a traveling dentist in the area, and due to her mother's physical condition, it would be a challenge to transport her to a dental office. She said the cost would be over $20,000 to fix her mother's broken teeth. Because neither her mother nor herself can afford the dental service, and because they do not have the money, her mother has to remain on a soft diet. The email ended with Resident #19's daughter asking the SSD if she is aware of any alternatives, and the daughter would be open to any suggestions. The SSD said she is unable to find any documentation that she and/or anyone in the facility had assisted Resident #19's daughter in finding dental service as required in their Dental Services policy and procedure to address Resident #19's broken teeth, which were identified and noted in the 10/25/22 care plan meeting.

This log should be kept on the log board or filed for reference. Residents Affected - Many The wall chart for the 3-compartment sink located above the sink, specified Sanitizer Tips: Test sanitizer solution in sinks and trigger sprayers often to verify 200 parts per million (PPM). Do not test directly from the dispenser. Fill the sink to the proper level then test from the sink. Be sure to use only authorized test strips. Do not hold the test strip in the solution for more then 1 second. Use only 200 PPM solution sanitizer.
