The resident goes to dialysis 3 days a week, and some days she would refuse dialysis which would cause her weight to fluctuate. The resident had refused to be weighed at the time of the visit. Interview on 06/02/23 at 9:57 AM with Resident #1 revealed she needed assistance. She stated staff came in the room and set up her tray and sometimes the tray was out of her reach. She stated she always needed help with her feedings because she cannot see out of both eyes. She said no one had offered her assistive devices to find her food or to assist her with feeding herself. She stated she would eat when her family member visits because he assists her with eating. She stated it gets frustrating when one cannot see and does not know where the items are on the tray, so she did not eat. The resident stated if she had assistance with her feedings then she would eat the food provided by the facility. Resident #1 stated she had informed the staff that was in charge she needed assistance with feedings, but the resident could not recall the names of the staff members.

CNA A stated she did not have access to the MDS and relies on the nurse to give her updates on the resident care. She stated she was unsure if she had access to the care plan.

Interview on 06/02/23 at 1:05 PM with the DON revealed Resident #1 did not have motivation to eat and she needed constant motivation. He stated the resident had deficient vision and did not believe she is blind. The DON stated the care plan information is based on the information from the MDS. He stated the care plan is pulled over to the kiosk (computer on the resident hall) located in the hall of the residents rooms on the wall. He stated the CNAs have access to the care the plan and the nurses have accesses to the MDS and the care plans. He stated the MDS Nurse is responsible for updating the care plan and MDS. He stated the level of assistance the resident need with feedings should be care planned but if we do not see the information on the care plan then her feeding assistance is not care planned. The DON stated sometimes Resident #1 would want help and sometimes she would wait on her family member to bring her food. He stated the expectation for his staff is to follow orders and report change in conditions. The DON stated the risk of Resident #1 not eating food provided by the facility can lead to poor wound healing. The DON stated Resident #1 had never informed him of concerns regarding her needing assistance with feedings. Interview on 06/02/23 at 1:21 PM with the MDS Nurse revealed care plans were devised based on information from the MDS, so any updates to the MDS Assessments should be reflected in the care plan.

The MDS Nurse stated she had done an observation on Resident #1 on 5/26/23 and based on Resident #1's scoring a three, she stated it was in her professional opinion that the resident required moderate assistance. She stated a score of three meant the resident needed assistance with setting up her tray and feedings. The MDS Nurse stated section G of the MDS Assessment, which assessed for functional status, was based on point of care documentation provided by the CNAs and section GG, which assessed functional abilities and goals, was based on a physical assessment and observation of the resident by the MDS Nurse. She stated it was her opinion that section GG more accurately reflected resident's needs. Interview on 06/02/23 at 1:51 PM with the Director of Physical Therapy revealed she had evaluated Resident #1 on 05/01/23. She stated she stayed at Resident #1's bedside and encouraged her to eat. She stated the resident needed a lot of encouragement feed herself, because she wanted to be fed. The Director of Physical Therapy stated her position was just to determine if the resident can physically feed herself, she does not determine if resident is capable based on cognitive or behavioral reasons. She stated nursing determines the cognitive and behavioral reasons. She stated Resident #1 is physically capable, but she might still need assistance per the nursing assessments. She the resident is minimal assist, which means she need tray assist only. Observation on 06/02/23 at about 2:00 PM revealed the resident started Physical Therapy on 05/06/23-5/20/23. The document revealed the resident is minimal assist. Interview on 06/02/23 at 2:30 PM with the resident's family member revealed she had a need for assistance with feedings because she was blind and could not see where her food items were on the food tray. He stated he would bring the resident food and feed and guide her to her food items. The family member stated he was not able to be at the facility for all mealtimes because he had to work.

Interview on 06/02/23 at 4:00 PM with Director of Physical Therapy revealed, after each hospitalization Resident #1 progressively declined.
