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 clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment was completed to accurately reflect the current status of one of 26 sampled residents. (Resident 7)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Clinical record review revealed that Resident 7 had diagnoses that included bipolar disorder and heart failure. On May 17, 2024, the resident weighed 152.4 pounds. On November 1, 2024, the resident weighed 173.6 pounds, which reflected a significant weight gain of 13.9% in the last six months. Review of the physician's orders revealed that Resident 7 had been receiving an antipsychotic medication, olanzapine (a medication that affected brain activities) since May 17, 2024. Review of the November 2024 medication administration record revealed that Resident 7 received olanzapine during the MDS review period. The MDS assessment dated [DATE], incorrectly indicated in section K that Resident 7's weight was 146 pounds, which was not a weight reflected in the resident's clinical record, and that the resident had no significant weight gain in the last six months. Further review of the MDS assessment revealed that section N incorrectly indicated that the resident did not receive an antipsychotic medication in the review period. In an interview on February 7, 2025, at 1:00 p.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that Resident 7's MDS assessment areas were inaccurate.

Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide ongoing assessment and monitoring for one of one sampled residents receiving dialysis (process of removing excess toxins and water from the blood). (Resident 70)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: A review of a facility policy entitled, Dialysis: Hemodialysis- Communication and Documentation, last reviewed October 15, 2024, revealed that staff were to complete the pre-dialysis portion of the Hemodialysis Communication Record that provided information regarding the resident's ongoing status to send with the resident to dialysis. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 70 had diagnoses that included end-stage renal (kidney) disease and dependence on renal dialysis and had a physician's order for the facility to provide dialysis three days per week. There was a lack of evidence to support that the pre-dialysis portion of the resident's dialysis communication forms were completed and that the resident was assessed before dialysis on five of 14 occasions from January 4, 2025, through February 4, 2025. In an interview on February 7, 2025, at 9:35 a.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that communication forms were to be completed before dialysis to assess residents and that the forms were not completed. 28 Pa.
