Resident #1 had diagnoses which included type 2 diabetes mellitus (high blood sugars), noninfective gastroenteritis and colitis (inflammation of the digestive tract), and gastrointestinal hemorrhage (bleeding from the digestive tract). Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 12/2/2025, indicated she usually understood others and was sometimes understood by others. Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 03, which indicated her cognition was severely impaired. Resident #1 required setup or clean-up assistance for eating.

Record review of Resident #1's care plan, last reviewed 5/12/2025, indicated she had the potential for nutritional problem/malnutrition related to diabetes mellitus with interventions that included: .2.

During an interview on 12/11/2025 at 9:45 AM, Resident #1's family member said Resident #1 had diabetes mellitus and GERD and was told she was supposed to have frequent small meals and a diabetic diet. Resident #1's family member said Resident #1 was supposed to have a diabetic diet and the facility could not accommodate her.

During an interview on 12/11/2025 at 10:00 AM, Resident #1's family member #2 was at the facility and said when Resident #1 was at home they had always eaten healthy. He said they were able to control Resident #1's diabetes at home with her diet. He said since Resident #1 had been in the facility her blood sugars have been out of control. He said they feed Resident #1 hamburgers, hot dogs and all kinds of things a diabetic should not be eating. He said he addressed it with the facility, and nothing had changed. Resident #1's family member #2 said he had not been invited to attend any care plan meeting since Resident #1's family member had addressed concerns regarding her HGBA1C level. During an interview and record review on 12/11/2025 at 11:50 AM, the Dietary Manager said if a resident required a special diet the nursing staff notified dietary, and they tried to accommodate the diet. The Dietary Manager said a diet order should be completed and given to the kitchen.

During the interview with the Dietary Manager Resident #1's physician orders were reviewed and indicated Resident #1's diet order had been changed on 12/11/2025 at 11:10 am after State Surveyor intervention, to a diabetic diet (CCHO). During an interview and record review on 12/11/2025 at 11:55 AM, the RD said she had not assessed Resident #1, because she had taken over the facility in October of 2025 and Resident #1 had not triggered for her to be assessed.

She said she would assess Resident #1 while she was at the facility that day.

She said she had a verbal discussion with the RD regarding Resident #1's HGBA1C level and the RD's recommendation was to change Resident #1's diet order to a diabetic diet (CCHO). When asked if it was normal to have a discussion with the RD regarding resident's lab values, she said yes, she called the RD at times to notify her of resident's lab values. When asked why Resident #1's lab values were discussed with the RD on 12/11/2025 instead of when Resident #1's lab values were received on 11/21/2025, she stated this was the first time the RD had been to the facility since Resident #1's lab values were received. During an interview on 12/11/2025 at 1:45 PM, the MD said he visited Resident #1 while at the facility on 12/11/2025. He said he changed Resident #1's medication on 11/21/2025 when he was notified of Resident #1's HGBA1C level of 9.6. He said had he known Resident #1 or her family wanted Resident #1 to have a diabetic diet he would have ordered it, but he was not told. He said he did not think a diabetic diet was sufficient in managing Resident #1's diabetes. He said he had previously spoken with Resident #1's family regarding insulin but they did not want her to take insulin but said he was going to speak with the family again about putting Resident #1 on insulin. During an interview on 12/11/2025 at 2:35 PM, the ADON said on 11/21/2025 Resident #1's family member found out Resident #1 had a hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) episode and requested Resident #1 have a HGBA1C level done.
