**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review and staff interview, the facility failed to develop a care plan that addressed dementia
care and specific symptoms for depression care. This affected two (Resident #4 and #47) of five reviewed
for dementia and depression. Facility census was 102.
Findings include:
1. Review of the medical record for Resident #4, revealed an admission date of 10/22/21. Diagnoses
included but were not limited to type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic polyneuropathy, bipolar disorder,
major depressive disorder, dementia, and unspecified dementia.
Review of the most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) of 15 out of 15. The resident was assessed to require
substantial/maximal assistance with toilet hygiene, shower/bathe self, bed mobility, and transfers. This
resident was also assessed to have non-Alzheimer's dementia, depression and bipolar disorder.
Review of medical record revealed no plan of care for dementia care for Resident #4.
Interview on 01/28/25 at 1:52 PM with Licensed Social Worker (LSW) #30 verified Resident #4 does not
have a plan of care for dementia and the resident does have the diagnosis with moments of forgetfulness.
2. Review of the medical record for Resident #47, revealed an admission date of 07/23/20. Diagnoses
included but were not limited to vascular dementia, adult failure to thrive, major depressive disorder, and
unspecified psychosis not due to a substance or known physiological condition.
Review of the most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) of 12 out of 15. The resident was assessed to require total dependence
on toilet hygiene, shower/bathe self, bed mobility and transfers. This resident was also assessed to have
depression.
Review of the plan of care revised on 02/28/23 revealed Resident #47 has an alteration in mood related to
diagnosis of depression with no specific symptoms or behaviors noted.
Review of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ 9) dated 12/04/24, that is used to indicate a resident's
severity of depression, revealed for Resident #47 to have answered yes to feeling tired or having little
energy for a symptom presence.
Interview on 01/28/25 at 2:46 P.M. with LSW #30 verified Resident #47 had indicated a symptom of
depression of feeling tired or having little energy and it was not indicated on his care plan.
