F 0744 Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on medical record review, staff interview, and review of the facility's policy, the facility failed to ensure a resident with dementia was adequately assessed and an individualized plan of care was developed to meet the resident's needs. This affected one (Resident #5) of three residents reviewed for dementia care. The facility census was 37. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #5 revealed an admission date of 07/09/21. Diagnoses included altered mental status and vascular dementia without behavioral disturbance. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 10/14/21, revealed Resident #5 was severely cognitively impaired and had a diagnosis of non-Alzheimer's dementia. Review of the plan of care initiated on 07/20/21 revealed no goals or interventions related to dementia care were identified for Resident #5. Interview on 11/09/21 at 10:14 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed Resident #5 had significant behavior concerns upon admission and was admitted to the facility after another facility refused to accept him back due to behavior. The DON stated Resident #14's behaviors had improved but he would become combative, resist care, and yell out. The DON verified Resident #5's plan of care did not address Resident #5's dementia care needs, including any interventions to assist the resident. The DON stated staff did provide redirection, supervision, snacks, and other interventions to address any behavioral concerns, but this was not addressed in the resident's plan of care. The DON verified there was no behavior tracking being completed for Resident #5 to determine the frequency of any behaviors, triggers to the behaviors, or the resident's response to any interventions implemented by the staff. Review of the facility's policy titled Behavioral Assessment, Intervention and Monitoring, revised March 2019, revealed current guidelines recommend the use of non-pharmacological interventions for behavioral or psychological symptoms of dementia. The interdisciplinary team will evaluate behavioral symptoms in residents to determine the degree of severity, distress and potential safety risk to the resident, and develop a plan of care accordingly. Interventions will be individualized and part of an overall care environment that supports physical, functional and psychosocial needs, and strives to understand, prevent or relieve the resident's distress or loss of abilities. The care plan will include, at a minimum: a description of the behavioral symptoms, including: frequency, intensity, duration, outcomes, location, environment, and precipitating factors or situations. Targeted and individualized interventions for the behavioral and/or psychosocial symptoms, the rationale for the interventions and approaches, specific and measurable goals for targeted behaviors and how the staff will monitor for effectiveness of the interventions. Non-pharmacologic approaches will be utilized to the extent possible to avoid or reduce the use of antipsychotic medications.
