Resident #1 said she wants to lose weight for her health. Resident #1 said she had not had any significant weight loss then weight gain in a short period of time while at the facility. Resident #1 said there was a staff member who came to weigh her sometimes monthly and sometimes weekly. Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 12/07/2023 at 2:45 p.m., the DM said the designated CNA H weighs the patients and writes them down their weights. The DM said he and the DON, nursing, dietary, social worker, wound care reviews the weights and then he inputs the information. The DM said the weight difference noted on 11/21/2023 should have triggered for a re-weigh. The DM said he was not involved in the review during the review of 11/21/2023 weights because he was busy having dietary staff prepare for a Thanksgiving luncheon. During an interview on 12/07/2023 at 3:54 p.m., the DON said she was starting a performance improvement plan because of possible inaccuracies documenting weights. During an interview on 12/08/2023 at 9:00 a.m., the Administrator was asked for policies regarding weighing patients and accuracy of documentation.

The MDS Coordinator said the information related to weight loss and weight gain should have captured the weight loss documented. The MDS Coordinator said she did not do the MDS for Resident #1 and that the other coordinator completed the assessment. The MDS Coordinator said the other coordinator was out of the facility at the time due to being positive for Covid. The MDS Coordinator said after reviewing of the quarterly MDS and Resident #1's weight records that MDS missed it which could result in inaccurate assessment that could affect the treatment plan of the resident. The MDS Coordinator said there were no changes to Resident #1's care plan. During an interview on 12/08/2023 at 9:40 a.m., the facility Regional Compliance Nurse (RCN) said she reviewed the documentation and believes it was a human error documenting the weight. The RCN said this error should have been caught during weight review and a re-weigh should have been done. The RCN said the facility process was patient weights were done on a Mondays and then reviewed by the DON and re-weighs done on Tuesday when there were any concerns. The RCN said Resident #1's weight record should have triggered a re-weigh. During an observation and interview on 12/08/2023 at 1:31 p.m., CNA H demonstrated how she performs weighing patients. CNA H weighed Resident #1 using the mechanical lift weight scale. Resident weighed 288.8. CNA H said around August or September 2023 she was delegated to weigh all the residents at the facility including Resident #1. CNA H said she comes in on Mondays and facility staff give her a list of residents who need to be weighed and she weighs them. CNA H said she then comes in on Tuesdays and facility staff tell her who needs to be re-weighed because of a difference in weights that was noticed. CNA H said from what she remembers she weighed Resident #1 on 11/21/2023 in the resident's room performing the same method she demonstrated. CNA H said after reviewing the weights taken from 11/13/2023, 11/21/2023, and 11/28/2023 that she wrote down the wrong number for the day of 11/21/2023. CNA H said she re-weighed Resident #1 on 11/28/2023 and she documented it correctly. CNA H said that she had to be more careful with her documentation and said that inaccurate documentation could affect a resident's plan of care.
