According to investigators, “the facility failed to consult with the resident’s physician regarding a significant change in the physical, mental or psychosocial status for [one resident].” Specifically, “the facility failed to notify the provider of the resident’s 13-pound weight loss and thirteen days.”
The surveyors interviewed the Director of Nursing who said that “the resident would have been reviewed weekly” and staff meetings and said that “the resident had water weight and the weight loss was water.”
However, the Director of Nursing “could not find anywhere where the physician had been notified of the weight loss. She said the resident was very independent and was only in the facility for a short amount of time before going home. She said that the doctor should have been notified of such a large amount of weight loss.”
The facility “failed to ensure adequate supervision and safety devices to prevent accidents” were provided to two residents. Specifically, “the facility failed to thoroughly evaluate and analyze each incident to identify the underlying cause of falls [and] develop and implement interventions which address the identify because or risk identified.”
The facility did not “evaluate and document the response and effectiveness of interventions to prevent additional falls.” In one case, the surveyors reviewed a medical record that revealed “the facility did not assess, update or established new interventions after falls in the dining room or updated after falls in the resident room. There was no evidence of Physician’s orders.”
The facility “failed to provide appropriate feeding assistance as needed to maintain or improve activities of daily living” for one resident reviewed for dining. Specifically, “the facility failed to assess the resident during dining according to their needs.”
The survey team interviewed the Nursing Home Administrator who stated that “if there were issues with dining service for some of the resident’s, they would be sure to address it with their staff, and provide reeducation.”
