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 interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an accurate assessment for one of four sampled residents (Resident 12) when the Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment tool) assessment did not reflect the accurate status of Resident 12 who was receiving hospice (end of life care) services.This failure had the potential for unmet services necessary for Resident 12's hospice care.Findings:A review of Resident 12's admission Record, dated 9/26/25, indicated Resident 12 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- a progressive lung disease which blocks air flow making breathing difficult) and cirrhosis of the liver (scarring of the liver, caused by chronic injury or long-term liver disease) among others.A review of the facility document titled, Order Entry, a physician's order for Resident 12, dated 7/8/2025, indicated, May admit to (Name of company) Hospice under (name of physician) Dx (abbreviation for diagnosis): COPD.A review of the facility's Clinical Census, dated 9/26/25, indicated Resident 12 was under hospice services, with effective date 7/8/2025.During a concurrent interview and record review with the MDS Director (MDS 1), on 9/26/25, at 11:46 AM, the MDS Significant Change assessment Section O (Special Treatment, Procedures and Programs) was reviewed. MDS 1 stated she was responsible for the assessment under Section O where part of the assessment would indicate if a resident was under hospice care. MDS 1 stated she completed the Section O for Resident 12. A review of Resident 12's Section O indicated an entry of No for Hospice care. MDS 1 stated Resident 12 was under Hospice care and should have been coded as such under Section O.During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 9/26/25 at 3:00 PM, the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Resident Assessment, was reviewed. The P&P indicated, .Policy Interpretation and Implementation.10. Assessments are completed by staff members who have the skills and qualifications to assess relevant care areas and who are knowledgeable about the resident's strengths and areas of decline.11. All persons who have completed any portion of the MDS resident assessment form must sign the document attesting to the accuracy of such information. The DON stated the assessment for Resident 12 was not accurate because the resident was not coded under hospice care, and further stated the policy was not followed.
