The SW then said that he initiated the referral process on 12/10/24 and would look to see how he could provide documentation as he could not show surveyor in the facility's EMR or Resident #70's clinical notes, where his documentation of the referral with dental services and communications with Resident #70 or her family members could be located in Resident #70's clinical record. When asked if he had informed the DON and Administrator about any potential delays in Resident #70 being seen by a dentist, the SW huffed and said that he thought he had discussed the situation with everyone and moving forward he would document everything as it happened.

Resident #70 said that she did not know when she was supposed to see the dentist because her family member kept track of all of those things for her.

MDD A said that waiting from late November until mid-February to be seen by a dentist would not have a negative clinical impact on Resident #70 . Record review on 1/30/25 at 2:33pm of SW text message log revealed he placed calls and text messages to Dental Company A starting on 12/11/24. Requested dental policy and procedure from DON on 1/30/25 at 09:00am and Administrator on 1/30/25 at 11:13 am.
