Based on facility policy review, record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure residents with limited mobility received appropriate services and assistance to maintain or improve mobility for one of two residents reviewed for limited range of motion (Resident 42). Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled Restorative Care Program, last reviewed August 15, 2023, read, in part, Presbyterian Senior Living facilities will provide restorative services which prevent, slow functional decline and/or maintain the resident highest practicable level functioning in accordance with state and federal regulations.

F 0756 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart, following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures. Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the licensed pharmacist's report of a medication irregularity was reviewed and acted upon timely for two of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications (Residents 5 and 42). Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled Medication Regimen Review, last reviewed August 15, 2023, read, in part, The consultant pharmacist performs a comprehensive review of each resident's medication regimen and clinical record at least monthly. The findings are phoned, faxed, or e-mailed within 24 hours to the director of nursing or designee and are documented and stored with the other consultant pharmacist recommendations in the resident's active record. The prescriber is notified if needed. Review of facility policy, titled Documentation and Communicating of Consultant Pharmacists Recommendations, last reviewed August 15, 2023, read, in part, The consultant pharmacist works with the facility to establish a system whereby the consultant pharmacist observations and recommendations regarding residents' medication therapies are communicated to those with authority and/or responsibility to implement the recommendations, and are responded to in an appropriate and timely fashion. Comments and recommendations concerning medication therapy are communicated in a timely fashion. The timing of these recommendations should enable a response prior to the next medication regimen review. Recommendations are acted upon and documented by the facility staff and/or the prescriber. If the prescriber does not respond to the recommendation directed to him/her within 30 days, the Director of Nursing and/or the consultant pharmacist may contact the Medical Director. Review of Resident 5's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included dementia (a chronic disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease, marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning), anxiety (a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease), and osteoarthritis (a condition that causes the breakdown of cartilage in the joints, leading to pain and stiffness). Review of Resident 5's clinical record revealed a Medication Regimen Review (MRR) document dated May 27, 2024, that stated Resident is receiving Bisphosphonate (medication). Please consider the addition of a calcium supplement and/or vitamin D supplement to medication regimen. The physician was noted to agree with the recommendation and wrote an order for Calcium 500 mg + Vitamin D 500 IU twice daily, and signed and dated June 27, 2024. Further review of Resident 5's MRR document revealed the notation that the medication was ordered on July 12, 2024. During an email correspondence with the Director of Nursing (DON) on August 14, 2024, at 9:45 AM, she revealed they did not receive the pharmacy recommendation from the pharmacist until around June 10, 2024, at that time it was provided to their Medical Director (MD) for completion. The MD did not return the MRR to the DON until July 12, 2024, and the DON put the order in herself. She further revealed verbal education was provided to the MD at that time about the importance of timeliness of completion and return of MRR's. Interview with the DON on August 14, 2024, at 12:13 PM, revealed pharmacy sends their MRR's over in an email and sometimes they are secured, and the facility is unable to open them which delays the process, or pharmacy sends them over late.
