#20 stated the staffed used a mechanical lift to transfer her from the bed to a chair and back again.
Resident #53Review of Resident #53's electronic face sheet dated 07/24/2025, revealed an [AGE] year-old
female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and to hospice services on 07/01/2025 with diagnoses to include:
Alzheimer's, kidney disease, and urinary tract infection. Review of Resident #53's Quarterly MDS dated
[DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 03 out of 15 which indicated severe cognitive impairment. Review of
Section O - Special Treatments, Procedures, and Programs, subsection O0110, item K1 Hospice Care,
column b. While a Resident was selected. Review of Resident #53's electronic Physicians Orders dated
07/01/2025 revealed: Resident has hospice services for diagnoses of Alzheimer's Disease. Review of
Resident #53's Comprehensive Care Plan last review completed 03/07/2025, revealed no evidence of
resident being on hospice services. During an interview on 07/24/2025 at 12:50 PM, the DON stated use of
a mechanical lift to transfer residents should be on the comprehensive resident centered care plan. She
stated the facility did not have a policy that she was aware of that specifically addressed requiring a
physician's order for a mechanical lift or for inclusion of the mechanical lift on the care plan. The DON
stated one possible reason for the failure to include use of a mechanical lift on care plan was due to all the
changes the facility had been going through. She stated creation of the care plans was a joint effort that
included the medical director, MDS Coordinator and DON. She stated her expectations were for an order to
be obtained and the residents care plans updated. The DON stated training was a work in progress with the
newly hired leadership team. She stated possible consequences of failing to include use of a mechanical lift
on a care plan was that she felt care planning provided residents with a list of expectations, gave residents
a voice to convey their concerns, needs and wants. Failing to include the use of a mechanical lift did not
give residents a complete list of the care they should expect to receive from the facility or an opportunity to
state their preferences. During an interview on 07/24/2025 at 1:00 PM, the RNC stated the reason for the
failure to include the use of mechanical lifts on resident care plans was due to the recent turnover in the
facility. She stated she did not consider the lack of a physician's order of any consequence to the residents.
She stated the care plan was a communication tool but was rarely utilized by the staff. The RNC stated she
felt there would be no repercussions related to the failure to care plan the use of a mechanical lift. The
facility provided policies titled Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Supporting and Lifting Machine, Using a
Mechanical. These policies did not address obtaining a physician's order to use a mechanical lift or
including the use of a mechanical lift on the care plan.

Arrange for the provision of hospice services or assist the resident in transferring to a facility that will
arrange for the provision of hospice services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to collaborate with hospice representatives and coordinate the
hospice care planning process for each resident receiving hospice services, to ensure quality of care for the
resident, ensuring communication with the hospice medical director, the resident's attending physician and
others participating in the provision of care for 1 (Resident #53) of 4 residents reviewed for hospice
services. The facility failed to maintain required hospice forms and documentation, that included:*the
certificate of terminal illness and the hospice election form; *how the communication will be documented
between the facility and the hospice provider; and *the physician certification and recertification of the
terminal illness. This failure could place the residents who receive hospice services at-risk of receiving
inadequate end-of-life care due to a lack of documentation, coordination of care, and communication of
resident needs. The findings included: Review of Resident #53's electronic face sheet dated 07/24/2025,
revealed an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and to hospice services on 07/01/2025
with diagnoses to include: Alzheimer's, kidney disease, and urinary tract infection. Review of Resident #53's
Quarterly MDS dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 03 which indicated severe cognitive impairment.

services for diagnoses of Alzheimer's Disease, dated 07/01/2025. Review of Resident #53's clinical records

that included certificate of terminal illness, hospice election form, or any form of communication between
the facility and the hospice provider for Resident #53. During an interview on 07/24/2025 at 12:21 PM, the
DON stated communication between hospice staff and facility staff was done verbally. She stated
communication forms should be filled out daily to ensure that everyone was aware and the residents' status
and care concerns. She stated the communication sheet should be filled out and she did not know why this
was not being done. She stated the facility should have a copy of the election form and the certification of
terminal illness. She stated it was her responsibility to ensure that the required documents were in the
facility. Review of facility policy titled, Hospice Program, revised July 2017, revealed in part: Policy
Statement: Hospice services are available to residents at the end of life. Policy Interpretation and
Implementation . 10. In general, it is the responsibility of the facility to meet the resident's personal care and
