Spectrum Dialysis: Consent to home hemodialysis treatment dated/signed by resident son 10.22.25.During an interview on October 23, 2025, at 11:20 AM, with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), ADON stated, our admissions, consent needs to be done first before the resident gets here for Dialysis. Prior to residents being transferred back from the acute hospital, so for the residents at [acute hospital], there are labs to be drawn up and family consents before admitting the resident back. The dialysis does have an office here in our facility.During an interview on October 23, 2025, at 12:36 PM, with the admission Coordinator Marketing Director (ACMD), ACMD stated, I submitted to [dialysis company] the documents for this resident. I was not made aware that [dialysis company] had discharged (D/C) him off their dialysis schedule. He was D/C completely from the facility, he was at acute over 30 days, there was no bed hold. It should have been my responsibility to get consent from family for his Dialysis. The Dialysis coordinator told me we need to be all paperwork because he was no longer in their system. I did not know we had to do all the paperwork over again. He should have been a new admission. It was my responsibility to follow up and I dropped the ball; I take full responsibility.During an interview on October 23, 2025, at 12:40 PM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated, It is a third-party Dialysis, they usually get the consents. I do understand that he is our responsibility, and it should have been our responsibility to make sure the authorization and documents were done. He missed Wednesday because we still did not have consent from the son, we called the doctor he ordered labs and Friday we sent him out because we did not have consent.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
