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
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an assessment accurately reflected a
resident's status for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for accuracy of MDS assessments. -The facility
failed to accurately assess Resident #1 for oral/dental status on his annual MDS assessment. This failure
could place residents at risk for inaccurate and incomplete MDS assessment which could result in residents
not receiving correct care and services. Findings include: Record review of Resident #1's admission record,
dated 01/28/26, revealed a [AGE] year-old male resident who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses to include Guillain-Barre syndrome (a rare, serious, but usually
temporary condition where your immune system mistakenly attacks your own nerves, often after a viral or
bacterial infection), lack of coordination and need for assistance with personal care. Record review of
Resident #1's annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS of 12 indicating he was
cognitively intact. Section L Oral/Dental Status revealed none of the above were present was checked off.
Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive care plan, undated, revealed there was not a focus area for
dental care. During an observation and interview on 01/28/26 at 2:45 PM Resident #1 was talking with the
surveyor and the surveyor noted brown/discolored teeth. Resident #1 stated it had been a while since he
had seen the dentist, and he probably needs to be put back on a list to see the dentist due to some pain in
his mouth. During a phone interview on 01/28/26 at 4:10 PM, the MDS Nurse stated she had completed the
annual MDS for Resident #1. The MDS Nurse stated Resident #1 had told her he did not have any pain in
his mouth and did not need anything, but he would not let the MDS Nurse look in his mouth. The MDS
Nurse stated she must have been in a hurry, but she should have checked off the box that stated, Unable to
examine. The MDS nurse stated checking off unable to examine in Section L would have triggered a care
plan decision to be made by other staff to do a care plan in Section V. The MDS nurse stated a potential
negative outcome to the resident was he could have an infection [in his mouth]. During an interview on
01/28/26 at 4:53 PM, the Interim ADM stated he did not think the MDS nurse marked the MDS incorrectly
for Resident #1's dental status. The Interim ADM stated he understands that she was not able to see any
issues with Resident #1's dental status so she marked no issues. The Interim ADM stated he would look
into it as he could see both sides and was not sure exactly how the MDS should have been marked. The
Interim ADM stated a potential negative outcome was a care are not being added to a care plan. During an
interview on 01/28/26 at 5:38 PM, the Interim ADM stated after discussion, he does think the MDS nurse
marked the dental status for Resident #1 incorrectly. The Interim ADM stated the facility did not have a
policy regarding the MDS assessment and stated the facility follows the RAI guidelines from CMS. Record
review of the Long Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual Version 1.20.1,
dated October 2025 revealed the following: Section L: Oral/Dental StatusL0200:Dental:Item Rationale Health-related Quality of Life-Poor oral health has a negative impact on:Quality of life, overall health, and
