F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few evaluations determined guardianship should be denied and the most recent evaluation, Physician #208 found that guardianship should be established for Resident #71. Physician #208 stated Resident #71 had severe aphasia and used an iPad to communicate mostly. During her first two evaluations, she allowed Resident #71 to use the iPad to answer questions and during her third evaluation, she presented other tools, such as a calendar, for Resident #71 to use to help answer questions. Physician #208 stated when Resident #71 was presented with the more unfamiliar objects, inconsistencies with responses arose. Physician #208 stated in her opinion, Resident #71 would be able to make some simple healthcare decisions but would not be able to fully understand more complex healthcare decisions and therefore, in her opinion, Resident #71 should have a court appointed guardian put into place for him. Review of the facility policy, Residents' Rights Regarding Treatment and Advanced Directives, dated [DATE], revealed the policy stated, the facility will identify or arrange for an appropriate representative for the resident to serve as primary decision maker if the resident is assessed as unable to make relevant health care decisions. During the care planning process, the facility will identify, clarify, and review with the resident or legal representative whether they desire to make any changes related to any advance directives.

ST #207 stated she did not feel the BIMS assessment was a reliable or an accurate tool in assessing Resident #71's cognitive status due to the resident's severe aphasia. ST #207 stated she was not sure how Resident #71 received scores on the assessments because the resident was not able to complete the assessment. ST #207 stated she noted Resident #71 to have a BIMS of zero out of 15 upon initial evaluation and the score had not changed. ST #207 stated she felt Resident #71's use of the iPad was misleading because the resident was only 60% accurate when he used the iPad to communicate but a lot of people assume the resident was 100% accurate. ST #207 confirmed Resident #71's cognition had not been assessed accurately across various departments within the facility. Interview on 11/14/23 at 1:39 P.M. with Social Services (SS) #179 revealed she had completed the BIMS assessment with Resident #71 in the most recent MDS assessment.

Physician #208 confirmed she completed three expert evaluations for court appointed guardianship on Resident #71. Two of her evaluations determined guardianship should be denied and the most recent evaluation, Physician #208 found that guardianship should be established for Resident #71. Physician #208 stated Resident #71 had severe aphasia and used an iPad to communicate mostly. During her first two evaluations, she allowed Resident #71 to use the iPad to answer questions and during her third evaluation, she presented other tools, such as a calendar, for Resident #71 to use to help answer questions. Physician #208 stated when Resident #71 was presented with the more unfamiliar objects, inconsistencies with responses arose. Physician #208 stated in her opinion, Resident #71 would be able to make some simple healthcare decisions but would not be able to fully understand more complex healthcare decisions and therefore, in her opinion, Resident #71 should have a court appointed guardian put into place for him. Review of the facility policy, CMS's RAI Version 3.0 Manual, Section C: Cognitive Patterns, dated October 2023, revealed the policy stated, the items in this section are intended to determine the resident's attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall new information and whether the resident has signs and symptoms of delirium.

Based on observations, staff interviews, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure pureed food was an appropriate smooth texture prior to serving to residents on a pureed diet and required surveyor intervention for safety. This had the potential to affect nine residents (Residents #7, #49, #39, #5, #75, #4, #81, #64, and #52) who were on a prescribed pureed diet. The facility census was 88. Findings Include: 1. Observation on 11/15/23 at 10:48 A.M. with [NAME] #117 revealed the cook was preparing pureed Italian blend vegetables.

Vegetables in the Italian vegetable mix include carrots, green beans, cauliflower, and broccoli. Dietary Manager (DM) #178 was present for observation. Observation and interview on 11/15/23 at 10:54 A.M. revealed [NAME] #117 stopped puree machine and stated the vegetable mix was the proper texture for serving to residents. The surveyor present tasted the vegetable mix for proper texture. The pureed vegetable mix required some chewing and did not have a smooth texture. Interview on 11/15/23 at 10:55 A.M., [NAME] #117 and DM #178 were asked to taste the puree and they both said it was okay to serve. [NAME] #117 transferred the pureed vegetable mix from the blender into a metal container, covered it, and placed the container in the steamer to keep warm until it was time to place it on the tray line. Another Healthcare Facility Surveyor was asked to taste the food. Observation on 11/15/23 at 11:25 A.M., the second surveyor tasted the mixed vegetable puree and said it didn't have a smooth texture. The surveyor opened her mouth to show there was a chunk of cauliflower on her tongue. Interview on 11/15/23 at 11:25 A.M. with DM #178 confirmed they would puree the vegetable mix more. Review of the Vegetable Italian Blend recipe notes, 1. Remove portions to be pureed from the regular prepared vegetable. 2. Place in food processor and process until fine in consistency. 2.
