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 which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 1 of 2 sampled resident (# 1) who experienced a significant change of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 01/2019 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease and chronic pain. During the acuity interview on 12/17/24, staff reported the resident needed two-person assist with transfers and was “heavy care” for ADLs.

The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed for significant changes of condition which included resident status and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (Executive Director), and Staff 3 (LPN) on 12/19/24. No further documentation was provided.
The RN completed a significant change in condition assessment for resident #1 and updated interventions to reflect her current ADL’s and medical condition. The HWD or designee will audit all resident charts who are on hospice to ensure there is an RN change in condition assessment completed with interventions that have detailed instructions on resident’s current ADL and medical condition. Facility hired a new RN and will take "Role of the RN in CBC setting" on February 18th- 20th, 2025. RN/LPN will enroll in the Nurse Learn program for Licensed Nurses and take the modules for Changes in Resident Condition. Significant changes in resident condition will be monitored and identified through the 24-hour chart review and follow-up process. The facility implemented a new 24-hour/alert charting policy and procedure/system. Changes in conditions will also be discussed at morning clinical meetings for appropriate follow-up by RN. Monthly audits will be completed by the HWD or designee to ensure that significant changes in condition have a RN assessment completed timely with detailed instructions/interventions for staff to follow. Results of audit to be reported to the QA meeting quarterly.
