interview and record review, the facility failed to immediately notify the resident's RP when there was a
significant change in the resident's physical status for 1 of 3 (Resident #1) reviewed for change in condition.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's RP was notified when he was sent out to the hospital for low
blood pressure on 01/27/2025 while at his dialysis treatment.
This failure could place residents at risk of their responsible party not being involved in ensuring safety.

admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1's diagnosis was end stage renal disease(kidneys lose the
ability to remove waste and balance fluids) and unspecified dementia(signs of memory loss but specific
underlying cause cannot be identified.
A record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 11/13/2024, reflected the resident had
a BIMS score of 1, which indicated severe cognitive impairment.

expected for LVN A to have contacted Resident # 1's RP to notify that he was sent out to the hospital from
dialysis due to low blood pressure. The Regional Nurse stated when there is a change of condition and the
resident's family not notified would result in the family not being able to participate in the resident's plan of
care.
