Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
On 9/10/24 AT 10:05 AM, V13 (R2's family) said, Me and my sister help to buy clothes for my aunt (R2). R2 is a big woman and it's hard to find clothes for her sometimes. I bought several outfits she can fit. I've also bought underwear several times as well and all of her items are missing. Her tops were all 3X- 4X and her pants were 5X. I sent an email to the social worker (V11) of the actual photos of the items I purchased for R2 because this is an on-going issue with her missing clothes. I sent pictures of: six pairs of underwear, five pairs of pants and five shirts. I sent this email on 06/18/2024. Prior to the June email, R2 always had clothes came up missing. I would bring in items and the staff would tell me they cannot locate an inventory list to inventory her items. They also say they don't have a marker to label her clothes. I have to label them myself. Every time I go to visit, I am arguing about her clothes. I have spoken with V4 (SSD/Social Service Director) several times about her clothes. I didn't like when he (V4) suggested my family should wash R2's clothes so they don't come up missing. He (V4) told me the facility would replace R2's items but they have not been replaced yet.

On 9/10/2024 at 10:30 AM, V4 (SSD) said, I told R2's niece (V13) if she gives me a receipt for R2's clothes, then we can reimburse her. V13 never brought a receipt. Surveyor inquired about inventory lists for R2, R3, R4 and R5. V4 (SSD) said, I don't have an inventory list for R2, R3, R4 or R5. I can't locate any inventory list for them. Surveyor inquired about the process and purpose of resident's inventory. On 9/10/2024 at 10:30 AM, V4 (SSD) said, Social Services is responsible for keeping inventory of resident's clothes and labeling them upon admission and whenever new items are brought to the facility. The purpose of keeping inventory of resident's items is to make sure we keep track of resident's personal belongings. On 9/9/24 at 11:20 AM, R3 said, The building got shut down and most of my belongings came up missing. I was given the run around about getting my belongings replaced, but they still only replaced about half of my items. They don't inventory or document everything, which is the problem. I'm not even sure what all is missing still. On 9/9/24 at 11:22 AM R4 said, I am still missing about a week work of clothes that have not been replaced as of today. I have never seen or signed any inventory list here. On 9/9/24 at 11:31 AM, R5 said, I had two loads of laundry that were lost back in December or January and never returned back to me. I complained to social services and my clothes are still missing. I don't recall signing an inventory list. On 9/10/2024 at 11:30 AM, V10 (Laundry Supervisor) said, We wash personal clothes in-house and the linen are sent out to another company to be cleaned. The issue with the laundry is a lot of times, clothes are sent down to the laundry room without names on them. When that happens, it is hard for us to determine who the clothes belong to. We just keep the unlabeled clothes in a bin for residents come to look for lost clothes. Laundry does not keep inventory or label clothes. I believe Social Services does. Surveyor noted a large bin filled with clothes. The clothes in the bin were not labeled with names on them.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review the facility failed to ensure a diagnostic appointment was scheduled for one resident (R5), who had an abnormal mammogram and doctor's order for a follow-up appointment. This failure affected one of three residents reviewed for nursing care.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: R5 is a [AGE] year old with diagnosis including but not limited to: Major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, unspecified asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute exacerbation and essential hypertension. R5's BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) score is 15, which indicates cognitively intact. During investigation on 09/10/2024 at 11:31 AM R5 said, I had a mammogram done in February (2024) that came back abnormal. I was supposed to return for a follow-up appointment and the appointment was never made. I have mentioned it a couple of times to several nurses. I don't know what is going on with my breast and I am concerned. On 09/11/2024 at 12:15 PM V3 (DON/Director of Nursing) said, I thought that R5's follow-up appointment was made, but I see that the appointment was not made. Surveyor inquired about the importance of follow-up appointments. At that time, V3 (DON) said, It is important to follow-up an abnormal mammogram because the situation can get worse. It is better to catch the issue early so that it may be treated. On 09/11/2024 at 1:30 PM, V9 APN (Advanced Practice Nurse) said, I am familiar with R5. I assessed her after her abnormal mammogram and noted that there were recommendations that she (R5) have a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound scheduled. I did try to touch base with the scheduler to make the appointment. The order to schedule R5's appointment was entered into R5's orders. I was not aware that she (R5) did not have that appointment as of now. The importance of the diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound would be to make sure that there is not a delay in care or a delay in treatment should there be any life-threatening issues.
