other things.
Record review of the facility's Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Planning policy, revised 08/2017,
revealed It is the policy of this facility that the interdisciplinary team (IDT) shall develop a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident that includes measurable objectives and time frames to meet a
resident's medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive
assessment. The IDT team will also develop and implement a baseline care plan for each resident, within
48 hours of admission that includes minimum healthcare information necessary to properly care for each
resident and instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care that meet professional
standards of quality care.

CNA PP who informed her the resident was positive for COVID. Hospice CNA A stopped outside the door to
his room to don PPE, then entered the room a little past 4 PM. The first thing I saw was the resident's

room. NP A stated Resident #1 was sitting in his wheelchair in the doorway to his room and was waving at
people as they walked by him, and he did not appear to be in distress from what she could see from a far.
On 11/03/2024 at 11:34 AM, Hospice CNA A was called with no answer, and she had no voice mail box to
leave a message. A text message was sent to the CNA with no response back.
Interview on 11/03/2024 from 11:46 AM to 12:00 PM, CNA S said she would not use a gait belt on Resident
#1 when she transferred him from his bed to his wheelchair because once he was in a sitting position with
his feet on the floor, he could stand up, turn and pivot and sit down in his wheelchair with
stand-by-supervision, and was steady most of the time when he was transferred. CNA S stated she saw
Resident #1 sitting in his doorway communicating with another CNA on 11/01/2024 around 2 PM before her
shift ended and he appeared to be fine at that time.
Interview on 11/03/2024 from 12:19 PM to 12:43 PM, Social Services Staff A stated the PHQ-9
assessments were completed by her and the LMSW, it was a way to see if a resident had signs of
depression or hopelessness, and scores under 10 were less of a concern than a score above 10, and
stated it's always a concern if it's [PHQ-9 score] not a zero. Social Services Staff A said when a resident's
PHQ-9 score increases, if the resident was not on any anti-psychotic medication, she would talk to the NP
to get a referral for psychiatric services. Social Services Staff A said Resident #1 would use his white board
to communicate his answers to the PHQ-9 questions, and his PHQ-9 score increased to a 2 on his
10/25/2024 PHQ-9 assessment because he answered he was feeling tired, having little energy and had
answered zero [which was a no] to questions of feeling helpless, depressed, feeling bad about himself,
thoughts hurting yourself. Social Services Staff A stated that sometimes feeling tired could be from feeling
sick or not feeling their normal energy. Social Services Staff A stated when Resident #1's PHQ-9 score
increased to a 2, she didn't think his medications were changed and thought that he might not have been
feeling well or was just feeling tired.
Interview on 11/03/24 at 4:03 PM, Social Services Staff A said on 10/25/2024, when she asked Resident
#1 the PHQ-9 questions and he responded that he was tired, she did not ask him why he was tired, did not
ask if he wanted any counseling services or psych services, and did not inform anyone the score had
increased. Social Services Staff A said if Resident #1 had responded yes to the self-harm questions, she
would have probed further and asked if he wanted any psychiatric services and would notify other staff at
that point.
Interview on 11/03/2024 at 4:11 PM, the LMSW stated the PHQ-9 assessment score had ranges: 0-4
indicated there was no depression, mild was 5-9, and 10 or above indicated start of moderate depression
which was a red flag that something was going on and they would reach out to a health provider at that
point.
Interview on 11/03/2024 at 5:23 PM, Administrator stated when he went into Resident #1's room after the
incident, he saw the gait belt on the floor, it was a light-colored cloth gait belt, and he thought it had writing
on it but was not positive. Later when he went back into the room after the police, EMS and medical
examiner had left, the belt was no longer in the room. The Administrator said he thought the police or
medical examiner had taken it. The Administrator stated the facility switched to a black plastic gait belt
sometime during the pandemic and thought it was in 2022 or 2023; and he didn't know where it came from
or how long the cloth gait belt had been in Resident #1's room.
