During an interview on 6/27/24 at 12:08 PM, with Social Services, per SS, resident is a hoarder, we had a
plan to clean her room a team plus a friend. Friend took knives and sharp objects that she ordered, that
was mistakenly given to a different patient. That patient opened the package and stated it ' s not hers. Was
then delivered to resident already opened, was educated about safety.
February 2024, when she ordered from Amazon again, plan by Administrator to have nursing give her
package and open in front of her. Resident was told verbally about plans but none in writing. Regarding
PTSD, patient declined to share her traumatizing event. Per SS, I will start with an apology and rebuild the
trust with her, sorry to hear that made her upset.
Review of clinical records on 6/27/24 with SS, per SS no signed admission agreement found on chart. No
written policy on online ordering and receiving packages. NO IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) meeting
documented but we have met with family and resident and discussed these issues.
During an interview on 6/27/24 at 1 PM, with Administrator, per Administrator, I see the patient almost every
day, put in a lot of time to this resident. She was not paying the share of cost and buying a lot from online
orders. Daughter is applying for POA to be able to have control over her credit card use. She is paying her
share of cost now. About the chat group, I don ' t know why someone would tell a resident about it, it ' s an
internal communication. The plan is if she receives a package, the AIT (Administrator in Training) will bring
to her and take out one item from her room to avoid hoarding and clutter. Had family meetings about this
and the expectation from the resident, no documentation of those meetings.
Review of MDS, section C- indicates, BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) result is 15, as of May 2024
quarterly assessment.
