Such services may be of a temporary nature as defined in facility policy, admission agreements and disclosure information. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for 2 of 2 residents (#s 1 and 2) who had significant changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the MCC in 05/2025 with diagnoses including dementia and was identified in the acuity interview as having a modified diet (soft and bite-sized food and nectar-thick liquids) and hospice services. The resident’s clinical record from 08/06/25 to 01/20/26 was reviewed, and the following was identified: Staff documented the following weights: * 08/06/25 – 184.2 pounds; * 09/04/25 – 185.8 pounds; * 10/05/25 – 175.4 pounds; * 11/24/25 – 177 pounds; * 12/11/25 – 177.8 pounds; * 01/05/26 – 171.6 pounds; and * 01/22/26 – 172.4 pounds (taken during survey). From 09/04/25 to 10/05/25, the resident lost 10.4 pounds, or 5.5% of his/her bodyweight. This severe weight loss constituted a significant change of condition, requiring an RN assessment that included findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. At 1:36 pm on 01/22/26, Staff 4 (Senior General Manager) stated no RN assessment had been completed for the significant weight loss. She further stated the facility RN at the time of the significant weight loss was no longer employed at the MCC. The resident was observed eating lunch (cut up meatloaf, mashed potatoes, cut up fruit, and a cookie) on 01/20/26 at 12:03 pm, breakfast (scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and cut-up fruit) on 01/21/26 at 9:51 am, and lunch (cut up meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and cut up fruit) on 01/21/26 at 12:57 pm. S/he consumed 75% of lunch on 01/20/26, 50% of breakfast on 01/21/26, and 100% of lunch on 01/21/26. Staff were observed at all three meals intermittently cueing the resident for swallowing safety. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed for residents who experienced significant changes of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (General Manager), Staff 2 (Administrator), Staff 3 (RN), Staff 4, and Staff 5 (Regional RN) at 1:50 pm on 01/22/26. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 08/2021 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease. During the acuity interview on 01/20/26 at 9:25 am, Resident 2 was identified for weight loss. The resident's clinical record from 10/21/25 through 01/12/26 was reviewed, and the following was identified: Staff documented the following weights: * 12/05/25 – 143.6 pounds; * 01/05/26 – 131 pounds; and * 01/21/26 -- 133.8 pounds (taken during survey). From 12/05/25 to 01/05/26, the resident lost 12.6 pounds, or 8.77% of his/her bodyweight in 30 days, which was considered a severe weight loss and required an RN assessment that included findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. In an interview on 01/21/26 at 2:45 pm Staff 2 (Administrator) stated nursing coverage was being provided by a regional RN at the time of the weight loss, and an RN assessment had not been completed for the weight loss. Observations made revealed Resident 2 consumed less than 50% of lunch on 01/20/26 at 12:45 pm and 90% of breakfast on 01/21/26 at 8:35 am. On 01/20/26 at 12:55 pm, Staff 10 (MT) was observed requesting a milkshake for Resident 2 from the kitchen. An interview with Staff 10 at 1:55 pm confirmed Resident 2 consumed 100% of the milkshake provided. The need to ensure the facility RN completed a timely assessment for the significant change of condition related to weight loss and documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (General Manager), Staff 2, Staff 3 (RN), Staff 4 (Senior General Manager), and Staff 5 (Regional RN) on 01/22/26 at 3:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
1. -RN completed assessment on 1/20/26 for Resident 2 reviewing weight loss and interventions currently in place for resident.
