**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide transportation services for a resident requiring an
appointment with a medical specialist.This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R127) reviewed for social services in
a sample of 35.The findings include:On 11/23/2025, R127's family member (R128) said he was concerned
about R127's general medical decline related to her abdominal mass that was found in June 2025. R127's
family member said she missed her ordered oncology consultation appointment in July because the facility
did not make proper arrangements. R127's family member said the facility informed him that her
appointment was missed due to her insurance coverage. He said he then accompanied R127 to her
rescheduled appointment on 8/28/2025. R127's family member said V21 (Oncologist/Physician) inquired
why she did not follow-up sooner, as originally ordered. R127's family member said she was then referred
to another specialist (gynecologist-oncologist) and now requires a biopsy to determine her cancer
treatment. On 11/24/2025 at 1:40 PM, R127 was sitting up in her wheelchair. R127 said she had returned
from the hospital but was unable to provide information regarding her recent hospitalizations and recently
diagnosed cancer.On 11/24/2025 at 12:40 PM, V4 (Nurse Practitioner/NP) said he assessed and reviewed
R127's hospital documents when she was readmitted on [DATE]. V4 said R127's hospital CT (computer
tomography) scan in June 2025 showed an accidental finding of an ovarian mass. V4 said he informed the
facility of R127's required oncology consultation. V4 said R127 was finally seen by the oncology team on
8/28/2025, after she missed her original appointment on 7/03/2025. V4 said R127 was then referred to a
gynecologist-oncologist specialist on 10/30/2025 and now required a biopsy. V4 said residents should follow
up with a specialist as ordered to prevent delay in care management.V4's progress note dated 7/10/2025
said the facility staff was to coordinate R127's ordered consultation with V21 (Oncologist) for her 13 cm
(centimeters) complex cystic solid mass found in her uterus.On 11/24/2025 at 1:45 PM, V20 (Licensed
Practical Nurse/LPN) said she believed R127 missed her original oncology appointment because of her
insurance. V20 said nurses completed a Resident Doctor's Appointment Transportation form when they
received an order for medical appointments. V20 said the forms were then given to V18 (Transportation
Scheduler) to ensure transportation arrangements were obtained.On 11/24/2025 at 1:25 PM, V18
(Transportation Scheduler) said R127's oncology appointment on 7/03/2025 was cancelled due to
transportation. V18 said outside transportation services required four-day advance notifications and did not
include weekends, and the facility also had their own bus transportation available for appointments if
needed. V18 said she was not notified of R127's rescheduled appointment on 7/10/2025. V18 said she was
notified of her rescheduled appointment on 8/28/2025, and transportation services were done with the
facility's bus. On 11/24/2025 at 1:20 PM, V19 (Oncology Receptionist) said R127's appointment records
showed her 7/03/2025 appointment was cancelled by the facility because V8 (Registered Nurse/RN)
reported R127 was not feeling well. V19 said on 7/10/2025 for R127 was no show for her rescheduled
appointment. V19 said they called the

facility and left a message with the receptionist to have the nurse call the office. V19 said the office did not
have any conflicts with R127's insurance provider. R127's Resident Doctor's Appointment/Transportation
form dated 6/27/2025 (5-weekday notice) showed a request for transportation for her oncology appointment
scheduled for 7/03/2025. The form notes the appointment had to be rescheduled due to a 2-day notice and
other appointments scheduled. The facility's policy titled Guidelines for Resident Appointments Outside the
Facility, dated 5/14/2023, said transportation for residents with required doctor appointments, such as
consults would be coordinated by the facility. The transport would be secured according to medical
necessity, such as for routine non-emergency situations, transportation services may include local services
or the facility's provider. And if, for any reason, an ordered/scheduled appointment was missed, the facility
would notify all parties and reschedule as appropriate.
