F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, review of clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure assessments accurately reflected the resident's status for three of the 35 residents reviewed (Residents 2, 67, and 123). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident 2's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - A standardized assessment tool that measures health status in long-term care residents) dated September 10, 2024 revealed Resident 2 had an indwelling urinary catheter (a thin, flexible tube that drains urine from the bladder into a bag outside the body). Review of Resident 2's clinical record failed to reveal evidence of an indwelling urinary catheter. Interview with Licensed Employee E7 on November 15, 2024 at 11:00 confirmed Resident 2 did not have a urinary catheter and also confirmed Resident 2's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] did not accurately reflect Resident 2's status and was completed incorrectly. A review of Resident 67's Quarterly Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE], revealed resident was on Dialysis (A process of purifying the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally) while a resident (in the facility).
