R3's Most recent Nutritional assessment dated [DATE], documents assessment as Annual Assessment.
R3's weight documented on assessment is 186.2 lbs, height 70 inches with BMI of 26.7. Ideal Body Weight
149 pounds-183 pounds. Diet is documented as Regular, mechanical soft with honey thick liquids. The
same assessment documents there have been significant weight changes, marked as weight gain of 1.5%
in one month. R3's feeding ability is marked as self-fed after tray set up and documents a goal of weight
maintenance by monitoring weekly weights. This Nutritional Assessment is signed by V 15 (Registered
Dietitian).
On 9/24/2024 at 12:50PM, R3 was observed resting in bed, refused interview. R3's bedside table was
observed with a snack within reach. R3 had tray on the bedside table with approximately 25% of food
consumed. There were no dietary supplements noted on R3's tray.
On 9/24/2024 at 2:50PM, V15 (Registered Dietitian) was asked for notes for R3 in relation to his weight loss
over the last 3 months from 187.6 to 162.0 as of today 9/24/2024. V15 was asked if she has seen R3 over
the last 3 months due to his weight loss, V15 stated I am seeing him today. V15 was asked how she
determines who she sees. V15 stated she gets a list from the dietary manager. V15 was asked if she was
aware of the weight loss over the last 3 months, V15 stated I guess I don't, but you should know to expect a
weight loss on a resident with Parkinson's.
On 9/24/2024 at 2:55 PM, V16 (Dietary Manager) stated she makes the list of residents for V15 to see with
her visits to the facility. The list provided was reviewed with V15 and V16 and R3 was not on the list to be
seen for the last 3 months. V16 stated R3 does get ice cream at times and puddings but was aware there is
no order to show this is being offered on a routine basis to promote weight gain.
On 9/24/2024 at 3:00PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) provided a folder that contained monthly list of residents
to be seen by V15 upon visits and verified R3 had not been placed on the visit list for V15 for the last 3
months. R3's nutritional assessment dated [DATE] was reviewed with V2. V2 stated R3 should have those
assessments done quarterly. V2 stated she will make sure the weights are managed better and the list will
reflect any weight losses. V2 verified R3 has ice cream under the task of the EHR (Electronic Health
Record) but is not ordered to receive on a regular basis for weight promotion. V2 stated the weights were
managed by V19 (Assistant Director of Nursing) who recently quit her job and V2 had to get weights caught
up and reviewed appropriately. V2 stated R3 is on daily weights but was unsure when this was put into
place and if so when this was used as an intervention. V2 was asked if R3's weight loss would be
considered a significant weight loss and V2 stated yes, it is. V2 stated R3 has had frequent readmissions,
and the ice cream and pudding did not get reinstated on one of the readmissions, we just missed it.
On 9/24/2024 at 4:50 PM, this surveyor met with V2 and V4 (President/Owner) V4 stated V1 (Administrator)
would be taking over the weight monitoring meetings and work with V2 to make sure the issues are
addressed properly. V2 stated she was getting an order for ice cream and pudding for R3.
