Residents Affected - Few Findings Include: Review of facility policy, titled Notification of Changes, revised August 29, 2023, revealed, The facility must inform the resident, consult with the resident's physician and/or notify the resident's family member or legal representative when there is a change requiring such notification.

Review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (when the lungs can't get enough oxygen into the blood) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (a type of cancer). Further review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed that she was admitted to hospice on July 11, 2024, with a primary diagnosis of interstitial pulmonary disease (an umbrella term used for a large group of diseases that cause scarring of the lungs. The scarring causes stiffness in the lungs which makes it difficult to breathe and get oxygen to the bloodstream). Review of Resident 1's physician orders revealed an order dated June 27, 2024, for oxygen at 5 L (liters) via nasal cannula. Review of Resident 1's nursing progress note dated July 21, 2024, at 11:43 PM, revealed that at around 9:00 PM, Resident 1's oxygen saturation was 86% on 5 L of oxygen via nasal cannula.
