Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident was provided with transportation to get to medical appointments in a timely manner for 1 of 4 residents (R2) reviewed for Quality of Care in the sample of 10. The findings include: R2's face sheet shows he has diagnoses including Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). R2's Physician Order Summary report shows an order was entered on 10/27/25 for R2 to be seen for a GI (Gastroenterologist) consult. On 1/20/26 at 10:41 AM, R2 said he was told that he is supposed to be going out to an appointment to see a GI doctor but has yet to get to see one. On 1/20/26 at 11:24 PM, V4 (Appointment and Transportation Scheduler) said there have been some issues with the transportation company the facility uses and getting residents to appointments on time. V4 said unfortunately there are no back up options that the facility uses to get residents to their appointments. V4 confirmed that she has been trying to get R2 to an appointment with the GI doctor and on 12/23/25 the transportation company called and said they were going to be late and the physician office could not accommodate a late appointment so it was rescheduled to 1/12/25. On 1/12/25 the transportation company went to the wrong facility to pick up R2 so again he missed his appointment. V4 said she has made a new appointment for him today for the GI doctor and they cannot get him in until 3/18/26. On 1/20/26 at 2:38 PM, V5 (Nurse Practitioner) said R2 is going to the GI doctor for previous abdominal pain and acid reflux. V5 said she was not aware that R2 had missed his GI appointments and while they are considered non urgent she would still expect the facility to get the resident transported to the appointment on time. The facility provided Transportation policy dated 9/2020 shows that the facility will assist residents in obtaining transportation to their appointments as needed.
