Cross Reference F 563Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the Responsible
Party (RP-an individual chosen by the resident to act on behalf of the resident to support the resident in
decision-making) did not make undelegated decisions for one of three sampled residents (Resident 2)
when facility staff did not ask Resident 2 if Family Members (FM) 1 and 2 could receive a medical update
for Resident 2.This failure resulted in Resident 2 experiencing feelings of sadness and had the potential for
psychosocial (the emotional and social requirements that individuals have to feel safe, supported, and
capable of functioning well in their environment) distress and feelings of decreased
self-worth.Findings:During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility
originally admitted Resident 2 on 9/2/2025 with diagnoses including urinary tract infection (an infection that
affects any party of the urinary system including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra) and unspecified
dementia (the loss of the ability to think, remember, and reason that affect daily life and activities). The AR
indicated Resident 2 had an RP.During a review of Resident 2's History and Physical (H&P), dated
9/2/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 2 could make needs known but could not make medical
decisions.During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated
12/4/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2's cognitive (the ability to think and process information) skills for
daily decision making was impaired (makes poor decisions requiring cues or supervision). The MDS
indicated Resident 2 required partial to moderate assistance with toileting, showering, and walking.During a
telephone interview on 2/3/2026 at 3:15 PM with FM 1, FM 1 stated on 1/21/2026 while visiting Resident 2
at the facility FM 1 and Resident 2's spouse (FM 2) requested a medical update regarding Resident 2 from
the Social Service Director (SSD). FM 1 stated the SSD informed FM 1 and FM 2 that Resident 2's RP was
Resident 2's Power of Attorney (POA-a legal document that gives one person the authority to act on behalf
of another person) and had denied FM 1 and FM 2 a medical update regarding Resident 2.During a
telephone interview on 2/3/2026 at 4:50 PM with the RP, the RP stated on 1/21/2026 a facility staff member
called the RP and asked if FM 1 and FM 2 had permission to receive a medical update for Resident 2. The
RP stated the RP instructed the facility not to give FM 1 and FM 2 any medical updates regarding Resident
2.During an interview on 2/4/2026 at 9:30 AM with the Social Service Coordinator (SSC) 1, SSC 1 stated
FM 1 and FM 2 visited the facility on 1/21/2026 and asked for a medical update regarding Resident 2. SSC
1 stated since FM 1 and FM 2 were not listed on Resident 2's AR, FM 1 and FM 2 were not provided with
the requested medical update for Resident 2. SSC 1 stated SSC 1 did not ask Resident 2's permission to
give a medical update to FM 1 and FM 2.During an interview on 2/4/2026 at 1 PM with Resident 2,
Resident 2 stated Resident 2 was unaware FM 1 and FM 2 were denied medical updates regarding
Resident 2 which made Resident 2 feel sad. Resident 2 stated FM 1 and FM 1 could receive medical
