The head of the resident's bed was elevated to 35 degrees. In a concurrent interview at the time of observation, LVN 8 confirmed after reviewing the Physician's order dated November 27, 2017, the current order is for oxygen to be administered at 2 LPM via nasal cannula as needed and to monitor oxygen saturation every shift. LVN 8 acknowledged there was no oxygen saturation monitoring equipment available at Resident 29 's bedside at the time of observation. A review of the Medication Administration Record, indicated and confirmed by LVN 8, there was no monitoring of oxygen saturation done from August 26, 2017 to November 30, 2017, as the physician ordered. A review of the facility's undated policy titled, "Oxygen Administration", indicated to "check oxygen saturation, if ordered, to ensure that oxygen use is effective; for example, for a COPD resident, the attending physician should determine the specific parameter".

On December 26, 2017 at 11:48 a.m., during an interview, the Administrator (ADM) stated the conservators told the facility they do not sign the POLST. The ADM stated the conservators did not give an explanation why they do not sign the POLST. On December 22, 2016 at 1:00 p.m., during an interview Social Service Director (SSD) confirmed that Resident 102's POLST was not signed by the legal decision maker. On December 26, 2017 at 1:00 p.m., during an interview, the SSD stated the conservators told her they do not sign the POLST. The SSD was unable to explain why the POLST was not completed. The SSD stated for family members, the facility was supposed to follow up and ask them to sign the document.

Any facility with more than 120 beds must employ a qualified social worker on a full-time basis. A qualified social worker is: §483.70(p)(1) An individual with a minimum of a bachelor's degree in social work or a bachelor's degree in a human services field including, but not limited to, sociology, gerontology, special education, rehabilitation counseling, and psychology; and §483.70(p)(2) One year of supervised social work experience in a health care setting working directly with individuals. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to employ a qualified social worker on a full time basis that met the qualifications specified in the regulation. This deficient practice had a potential for 186 of 186 residents residing in the facility not being assisted and receiving medically related necessary care to attain highest practicable well-being. Cross reference F684 , F745, F600 Findings: On December 22, 2017 at 12.05 p.m., during an interview the Social Services Designee (SSD) stated she was the social service person in charge of all the residents in the facility since April 2017.

The SSD stated she did not have any certification in social services here in the United States. The SSD was unsure if she had a social worker consultant because she had not met the consultant. On December 22, 2017 at 12:21 p.m., during an interview the SSD stated she felt it was impossible to care for all the residents in the facility. The SSD further explained she informed the Administrator that she was unable to care for all the residents. On December 22, 2017 at 1:05 p.m., during an interview the Administrator (ADM) stated she knew the SSD has a college degree from another country but was unsure if she had an equivalency of the degree in the United States. The ADM stated she was working on hiring a social worker and agreed the current SSD was not able to care for all the residents in the facility. A review of SSD's Employee file indicated the SSD has a master's degree of education in another country and was verified by approved academic credential agency. However, there was no evidence that the SSD had certification in social services and/or Bachelor's degree in psychology. On December 26, 2017 at 9:25 a.m., during an interview the Administrator and SSD stated they were in agreement that the SSD does not meet the qualification as she did not have prior supervised social work experience in a clinical setting nor certifications in social services. A review of the Social Services Designee job description dated March 12, 2014, indicated the Designee competencies should include completion of 36 hours of certificate in Social Services.
