(Nurse Practitioner) in for rounds this day and assessed resident and agreed to send to ER for eval
(evaluation) and tx (treatment) if needed. EMS (Emergency Medical Services) here to transport to (nearby
hospital). Per wound nurse her skin is intact with no concerns, resident verbalized that she was not in pain.
R2's Hospital records dated 10/20/2025 document R2 had not had dialysis in about two weeks since

discharged back to the facility on [DATE]. R2 was admitted to the hospital for five days.
On 10/23/2025 at 1:46 PM, V3, Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated, When we get a new admit
normally the DON would review the admitting nurse's notes and ensure there are no errors. The
communication papers are put in a mailbox and then the DON reviews them. Since the DON is no longer
working here, me and V14, Registered Nurse (RN) review everything to make sure there are no errors. As
far as (R2), I did call the dialysis provider. (R2) was getting dialysis five times a week at the other facility in
house. We do not do dialysis in house and use several contractors. I did call the (V15, Contractor A). (V15)
wanted a chest x-ray and blood work on (R2) before they would admit her. Then they need a chair and
space for her. (R2) was not getting dialysis from the provider because we were waiting for approval from
them before we could send her. I am not aware of any other plans in place for dialysis until we heard back
from the dialysis contractor (V15).
On 10/23/2025 at 4:30 PM, V4, Medical Doctor stated, If a resident does not receive dialysis and/or misses
a dialysis appointment I would expect to be notified. I am not sure which resident you are referring to and I
am not aware of a resident coming from another facility with dialysis and not receiving dialysis while at the
facility. I would expect to be notified if a resident missed an appointment.
On 10/29/2025 at 9:22 AM, V21, Nephrologist (Kidney Specialist) stated, It is critical that if a resident who is
receiving dialysis and goes to another facility that dialysis is set up ahead of time and no treatments are
missed. No treatments should be missed. ESRD (End stage renal disease) depends in dialysis. A resident
may not even be having symptoms because a lot of these things are silent killers and can affect the heart
and cause death. If a resident does not have dialysis set up, I would expect them to be sent the ER to get
treatments until they are able to get treatments from the new facility. Any resident missing 10 treatments I
would absolutely consider that neglect. This could cause serious harm and death the body is depending on
the dialysis treatment.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the Facility failed to ensure coordination of care for a resident to receive
medically necessary hemodialysis for 1 of 3 residents (R2) reviewed for dialysis services in the sample of
16. This failure occurred when (R2) was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and did not receive dialysis
services for 12 days. R2 was sent to the hospital per family request where she was found with critical lab
values, shortness of breath and had a 5 day hospital stay.Findings include:The IJ (Immediate Jeopardy)

R2's Progress Notes 10/12/2025 at 10:58 AM, Resident has c/o (complained of) being SOB (short of
breath), hot, weak, and is excessively sweating. Resident states she missed dialysis on Friday. MD (Medical
Doctor) made aware of the missed dialysis day. Resident's glucose was low at 49. VS (vital signs) are as
follows: 97.8, 140/85, 84, 93% on RA (Room air). MD made aware of VS and patient complaints MD states
just to monitor her glucose level in an hour, and send her to dialysis tomorrow, which is her normal dialysis
day. Resident currently at lunch table eating a snack to bring glucose level up.R2's Progress Notes does not
document R2 received dialysis on 10/13/2025 (next day). R2's Progress Notes do not address anything
related to where or what company she is to receive dialysis treatment, and/or any alternate plan to receive
dialysis. R2 was not sent to dialysis and no follow up occurred regarding to her having shortness of breath
and or not receiving dialysis. R2's Progress Notes do not document any dialysis plan and or future dialysis
appointments.R2's Progress Notes dated 10/20/2025 at 2:02 PM, spoke with resident, sister and ADON
(Assistant Director of Nursing) regarding resident need of dialysis. Resident waiting on approval from
dialysis clinic this week. Rec'd (received) order to send to ER (Emergency Room) for eval (evaluation) and
need of dialysis. Family and resident aware of this and agree as she has not had treatment this week. NP
(Nurse Practitioner) in for rounds this day and assessed resident and agreed to send to ER for eval
(evaluation) and tx (treatment) if needed. EMS (Emergency Medical Services) here to transport to (nearby
hospital). Per wound nurse her skin is intact with no concerns, resident verbalized that she was not in
pain.On 10/23/2025 at 2:59 PM, V12, Family of R2 stated, My sister is mentally delayed. She does not
read, write and is unable to count money. About three weeks ago I went to her former nursing home, and
they told me (R2) was no longer there. I was really confused because nobody asked me. I do not know how
or why she got to (Facility). When I finally went to the (Facility) (R2) was not doing well at all. Her face was
swollen, she was having shortness of breath, and her eyes were yellow like jaundice. I went to find the
nurse and ask her when the last time (R2) had dialysis, and the nurse did not even know my sister was
supposed to be getting dialysis. I asked them to send her to the hospital which they did, and she was
admitted , and she is still there. (R2) did not get one treatment of dialysis while she was there, and she was
getting five treatments a week at the other facility. I was so confused and don't know how this could have
happened. I know they told me (R2) was to never go more than 2-3 days without dialysis because her fluids
would build up and toxics would build up and it could harm her. How did this happen? (R2) has two
children, a 7 and a 9-year child. I don't know what we are going to do if something bad happened to her. I
feel like she was supposed to get dialysis, how could they wait so long, and not make sure she got
dialysis.On 10/23/2025 at 1:23 PM, V5, Former Director of Nursing (DON) stated when staff are receiving a
new patient, we review the orders and have them put in the paperwork and leave everything in a black
metal mailbox to review for later to make sure nothing was missed and/or overlooked. Typically, this is
something the DON would do. I cannot say who is reviewing the paperwork now. I would look at the
medication to make sure no medications are forgotten, and for example if they were on dialysis, I would
make sure they have that set up already and notify transportation, so they do not miss any appointments. If
a resident is coming from another facility and is already on dialysis, then we already know they are going to
need dialysis and that should have already been set up before they even got into the facility. Then we make
sure our driver knows when the appointments are so they can ensure they do not miss any of their
appointments.On 10/23/2025 at 1:37 PM, V13, Social Service Director (SSD) stated, Normally if a resident

dialysis that is something we would look at before admitting them and make sure all of that is set up before
they arrive, so they do not miss any appointments. I am not sure what happened with (R2).On 10/23/2025
at 1:42 PM, V13 provided R2's transfer paperwork which included her POS and Care Plan from the
previous facility.On 10/23/2025 at 1:46 PM, V3, Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated, When we get
a new admit, normally the DON would review the admitting nurse's notes and ensure there are no errors.
The communication papers are put in a mailbox, and then the DON reviews then. Since the DON is no
longer working here, me and V14, Registered Nurse (RN) review everything to make sure there are no
errors. As far as (R2), I did call the dialysis provider. (R2) was getting dialysis five times a week at the other
facility in house. We do not do dialysis in house and use several contractors. I did call the (V15, Dialysis
Center). (V15) wanted a chest x-ray and blood work on (R2) before they would admit her. Then they needed
a chair and space for her. (R2) was not getting dialysis from the provider because we were waiting for
approval from them before we could send her. I am not aware of any other plans in place for dialysis until
we heard back from the dialysis contractor (V15).On 10/23/2025 at 4:30 PM, V4, Medical Doctor stated, If a
resident is coming from another nursing home facility and they are receiving dialysis, he would expect for
coordination of care for the new nursing home to put things in place to assure dialysis services would be
provided, with the least interruption possible, and for policy to be followed and coordinated. Any interruption
from this schedule could have the potential for harm, and if the resident was having symptoms he would
expect to be notified and would send them out to the hospital for missed appointments of over two days
depending on labs. A resident missing dialysis and exhibiting symptoms would more than likely experience
fluid overload, they usually will have SOB (shortness of breath), chest pain, other things and a lot of things.
Usually fluid overload. Skipping dialysis can lead to fluid overload where the fluid builds up in the body
leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath (SOB), swelling. This can result in emergency situations
requiring hospitalization. It can lead to elevated potassium levels in the blood which can affect the heart and
toxic buildups as the body is not able to remove waste products from the blood. If left untreated it can cause
harm and possible death.R2's Hospital records dated 10/20/2025 document R2 had not had dialysis in
about two weeks since coming to the new facility and had elevated potassium levels (6.2 mEq/L) (normal
3.4-5.0); BUN ((blood urea nitrogen (74) (normal 7-25 <=23.0) , and elevated serum creatinine levels 9.17
(normal 0.55-1.02 mg/dl). Patient states she had not underwent hemodialysis and the nursing facility was
spoken with this nurse who informed them that they were not able to set up outpatient hemodialysis
sessions prior to patient's transfer to their facility unfortunately, patient is asymptomatic but needs dialysis.
(R2) states she has not received dialysis since being there. She is unsure why. R2 received dialysis
services at the hospital.R2's Hospital Records dated 10/25/2025 at 1:17 PM, Medical Problems:
Hyperkalemia, End-stage renal disease needing dialysis, Hypertension, Insulin dependent diabetes
mellitus and document R2 was discharged back to the facility on [DATE]. R2 was admitted to the hospital
for five days.On 10/28/2025 at 3:59 PM, V19, Transportation stated, I had a referral out to (V15, Dialysis
Center) regarding (R2) receiving dialysis. I had faxed them twice and had a referral out to them, but I guess
they did not get it, so it did not go through. I guess my fax was not going through and I followed up with
them on Friday and today was (R2's) first day of getting dialysis treatment. I tried to set something up when
she was first admitted . (R2) is set up now and today was her first dialysis treatment since admission.On
10/28/2025 at 4:11 PM, LPN V18, LPN stated, I remember when (R2) was a new resident and she came
from (Nursing Home B). I do not know anything about her needing dialysis when she first arrived. I know
(R2) was sent out to the hospital. I was not told what to look for and or send her out if

she had any of those symptoms from not having dialysis. I know when she just came back from the
hospital, she is on dialysis now and it is all set up.On 10/29/2025 at 9:22 AM, V21, Nephrologist (Kidney
Specialist) stated, It is critical that if a resident who is receiving dialysis and goes to another facility that
dialysis is set up ahead of time and no treatments are missed. No treatments should be missed. ESRD
(End stage renal disease) depends in dialysis. A resident may not even be having symptoms because a lot
of these things are silent killers can affect the heart and cause death. If a resident does not have dialysis
set up, I would expect them to be sent the ER to get treatments until they are able to get treatments from
the new facility. Any resident missing 10 treatments I would absolutely consider that neglect. This could
cause serious harm and death the body is depending on the dialysis treatment.The Facility Change of
Condition Policy undated documents, To ensure that medical care problems are communicated to the
attending physician or authorized designee and family/ responsible party in a timely, efficient, and effective
manner. The facility will inform the resident, consult with the resident's physician or authorized designee
such as Nurse Practitioner; and if known, notify the resident's legal representative or an interested family
member when there is: An accident involving the resident which results in injury and has the potential for
requiring physician intervention. A significant change in the residents' physical, mental, or psychosocial
status (i.e., a deterioration in health, mental, or psychosocial status in either life- threatening conditions or
clinical complications); Life-threatening conditions are such things as a heart attack or stroke. Clinical
complications are such things as development of a stage 2 pressure sore, onset or recurrent periods of
delirium, recurrent urinary tract infection, or onset of depression. A need to alter treatment significantly (i.e.,
a need to discontinue an existing form of treatment due to adverse consequences, or to commence a new
form of treatment); A need to alter treatment significantly means a need to stop a form of treatment
because of adverse consequences (e.g., an adverse drug reaction), or commence a new form of treatment
to deal with a problem (e.g., the use of any medical procedure, or therapy that has not been used on that
resident before).A decision to transfer or discharge the resident from the facility. The Immediate Jeopardy
and deficiency practice that began on 10/8/2025 when R2 was admitted without any hemodialysis
treatment scheduled and or given for 12 days while she was in the facility was removed on 10/30/2025 after
the facility took the following actions to remove the Immediacy:1. The Administrator and Assistant Director
of Nursing (ADON) were in-serviced by the VP of clinical services on dialysis care r/t (related to)
coordination of care by not setting up dialysis treatments.2. All department heads on dialysis and procedure
and no staff was allowed to work until they were in-serviced on dialysis.3. 24-hour report sheet was made
up starting 11/1/2025. It was made to ensure that there were no dialysis residents that missed/ needed set
up for treatment. 4. A quality assurance tool was implemented: On-going audit of the 24-hour report will be
completed daily x 4 weeks to ensure that no resident missed dialysis or needed dialysis set up and a Root
cause analysis was completed for neglect r/t coordination of care for all new residents and dialysis needs
are addressed.
