indicated a low risk for elopement.
Record review of Resident #6's Quarterly MDS (tool used to assess health status) Assessment, dated
02/13/2025, reflected a BIMS (screening tool to assess cognitive status) was not completed because the
resident was rarely/never understood. The staff assessment indicated the resident had moderately impaired

elopement risk. She stated criteria which indicated a resident was high risk for elopement included going to
a door, pushing on a door, not re-directable, or exiting the facility. She stated prior to accepting a resident,
they always asked the family if there were attempts to leave the home. She stated if they had left home or
attempted to but were unsuccessful, they were not accepted. She stated they did not accept a resident from
another facility who had this concern. The Administrator stated staff attended elopement in-service training
and participated in elopement drills after Resident #6 left the building. She stated training included what to
do if staff noticed someone was missing or trying to leave. She stated if a resident was not seen, staff
should check to see if they signed out. She stated if not, staff should check every room in the facility and

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide appropriate or obtain from an outside
resource routine dental services, to the extend covered under the State plan, and emergency dental
services to meet the needs of each resident for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for dental.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to provide proper dental care and assure the denture concerns were addressed with

and the document noted new dentures were delivered to Resident #1, the dentures were tried on, and
Resident #1 was satisfied with the fit.
Record review of a dental treatment note, dated 01/27/25, reflected Resident #1 was seen by the dentist
and the document noted, F/F not fitting, got them last week.
In an observation and interview on 03/28/25 at 10:30 AM, Resident #1 did not have his bottom dentures in
his mouth. Resident #1 stated his bottom dentures did not fit, which made it hard for him to eat certain
foods. He stated he was unable to eats items like chicken or pork chops, and he had to cut up food items
like hamburgers. Resident #1 stated if he left the bottom denture in his mouth, it would have caused pain,
but he never wore the bottom denture. Resident #1 stated he told someone in January of this year that his
dentures did not fit properly. Resident #1 stated he recently told the ADON about two weeks ago about his
dentures not fitting. Resident #1 stated the ADON told him he would contact the dentist to get the issue
resolved. Resident #1 stated he told the ADON he did not want to see the mobile dentist the facility used
and wanted to go into an actual dentist office. Resident #1 stated the ADON stated he would check on a
few things and let him know what could be done for the denture concern. Resident #1 stated the ADON had
not followed up about the concern.

she would have sent an email to have him seen by the dentist immediately. The Social Worker stated a
virtual appointment could have been made, so the dentist could see the issue with Resident #1's dentures
as well. She stated the doctors and dentists will upload their own notes, and then it was the responsibility of
the nursing staff to review those notes and follow-up with any orders or concerns.
In an interview on 03/28/25 at 12:53 PM, the ADON stated Resident #1 complained to him about his
denture problem. The ADON stated in January, Resident #1 first said his dentures fit, but a few days later
told him they did not fit well. He stated Resident #1 stated the bottom denture was too big. The ADON
stated Resident #1 felt the dentist the facility used was not suitable, and the resident asked to be sent out to
another dentist. He stated he told him he would look into it and see what his insurance approved. The
ADON stated he first told him about two weeks ago, and he still needed to check Resident #1's insurance.
The ADON stated he did not follow up on the denture concern, because Resident #1 had not complained
about it in two weeks. The ADON stated he did not let the Social Worker know or document the concern on
Resident #1's electronic record. The ADON stated he felt there was no risk, because Resident #1 saw the
dentist within two months of admitting to the facility, and he stated he felt there was no risk since Resident
#1 had not complained within the last two weeks. The ADON stated if he knew it was still a concern he
would have followed-up immediately. The ADON stated the resident actually gained weight, so he did not
think there was a risk. The ADON stated he should have let the DON or the Social Worker know about
Resident #1's denture concern.
In an interview on 03/28/25 at 1:38 PM, the DON stated she was not aware Resident #1 had an issue with
his dentures. She stated she was not aware he was unable to eat certain items. The DON stated the ADON
never told her Resident #1 voiced concerns to him, and he did not document the concern for her to review.
The DON stated if she knew she would have notified the Social Worker and had her follow up immediately.
The DON stated the risk of Resident #1 not having proper fitting dentures was his inability to eat a proper
diet.
In an interview on 03/28/25 at 2:20 PM, the Administrator stated she was unaware Resident #1 had issue
with his dentures. She stated the Social Worker handled it today once she became aware. She stated
Resident #1 was on the list to be seen the next time the dentist visited. The Administrator stated there was
no risk, because the resident was seen twice in January and the dentist noted they would follow up
regarding the bottom denture. The Administrator stated Resident #1 would be seeing the dentist during the
next visit on 04/17/25.
Record review of the facility's policy, titled, Dental Services, dated 11/01/17, reflected the following:
Routine and emergency dental services are available to meet the resident's oral health services in
accordance with the resident's assessment and plan of care.
