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 a timely RN assessment was completed which included documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 2 of 5 sampled residents (#s 2 and 4) who experienced significant changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 05/2023 with diagnoses including chronic back pain. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, review of the service plan, dated 09/30/24 and 12/02/24 through 03/31/25 observation notes, physician communications and hospice visit notes were completed. The resident required full assistance from staff for all ADL care. The resident required two staff for positioning, transfers, bed changes and incontinent care. The resident’s intake was poor to fair. S/he was inconsistently able to feed himself/herself and needed assistance for meal intake. A private caregiver had been hired to assist the resident with the lunch and dinner meals each day; the caregiver provided full feeding assistance to the resident. Multiple observations of the resident between 03/31/25 and 04/02/25 showed the resident in bed. The resident was bedbound and spent most of his/her time sleeping. His/her intake was between 0% and 25% for all meals observed. The resident was fed by the private caregiver, the resident ate very minimal bites of food on his/her own. The resident was discharged from hospice on 12/27/24. The resident was again admitted to hospice on 03/01/25 after further decline in condition and significant decrease in meal intake. The resident spent most of the time sleeping and/or groggy, fully bedbound and had little to no appetite. The resident had frequent pain with movement of his/her lower extremities, turning and positioning. In an interview on 04/02/25, Staff 3 (RN) indicated she started with the facility as a consultant on 03/05/25. She was not made aware of the resident’s readmission to hospice until 03/20/25. When she became aware of the changes and hospice admission, she completed an assessment. Staff 3 acknowledged that the interventions she noted were not resident specific and should be more personalized to the individual resident needs. The facility failed to ensure a timely RN assessment was completed for the resident’s decline in condition and lack of intake, which included resident status and interventions made as a result of the assessment. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed which documented findings, resident status, and resident specific interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (LPN), Staff 5 (RCC) and Staff 6 (RCC) on 04/02/25. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 06/2021 with diagnoses including dementia. The resident's 02/11/25 service plan,12/02/24 through 03/31/25 observation notes, incident investigations, hospital visit notes and physician communications were reviewed. The resident required one person assistance with ADLs. The resident used a walker around his/her apartment and was assisted with a wheelchair for longer distances. The resident could eat and drink on his/her own and typically attended meals in the dining room. The resident had short term memory issues and could be forgetful. S/he was able to make some needs known. Multiple daily observations between 03/31/25 and 04/02/25 showed the resident in common areas as well as in his/her apartment. The resident frequently was seated in the recliner in his/her room and watching television or napping. The resident attended all three meals each day in the dining room and multiple activities that occurred in the facility. The resident used the walker to move between the dining room and activity room with staff assistance. The resident ate more than 75% of meals and fluids provided. a. Weight records, dated 11/06/24 through 03/31/25, indicated the resident experienced the following: * The resident’s weight on 11/06/24 was 223.5 pounds. The resident’s next recorded weight was 211.8 pounds on 12/11/24. The resident experienced a severe weight loss of 11.7 pounds or 5.23% in a month. * The resident gained 3.8 pounds between 12/11/24 and 01/02/25 which was not a significant gain. The resident’s weight continued to trend upwards from 215.8 pounds on 01/02/25 to 224 pounds on 02/04/25. This was an 8.4 pound increase or 3.89% gain in one month. The resident’s weight currently remained around 220 pounds in March 2025 with no additional significant gains or losses. In an interview on 04/02/25, Staff 2 (LPN) indicated she was unable to locate any RN assessment of the resident’s December 2024 weight loss. The resident’s intake was usually good. The resident was being treated for a UTI in mid to late December 2024 which may have affected the resident’s intake at the time. The resident did have some recurring edema to the lower extremities as well. The facility failed to ensure a timely RN assessment was completed for the significant weight loss, which included resident status and interventions made as a result of the assessment. b. Observation notes showed the resident experienced multiple falls between 01/01/25 and 02/01/25. The resident was evaluated at the ER for several of the falls because of pain complaints or concerns the resident had hit his/her head. The After Visit Summary dated on 01/13/25 indicated the resident was seen for a fall which resulted in multiple rib fractures. The resident returned to the facility with an order for lidocaine for pain. The instructions included limits to movement based on pain concerns, rest and ice. In interviews between 03/31/25 and 04/02/25 the following was noted: Staff 13 (MT) and Staff 21 (CG) indicated the resident had some pain when the fracture occurred and did require some additional assistance from staff. The resident was not independent prior to the fracture, needed one person assistance for toileting and had more difficulty with certain positions or movements. The staff indicated the resident continued to require one staff for assistance, was able to make some needs known and pain seemed to be back to baseline. The resident’s cognition was about the same as previous with some forgetfulness and a bit of confusion. Staff 2 (LPN) indicated at the time the resident experienced a fall and sustained the rib fractures s/he did not seem to be in a great deal of pain or limited in movement. The care staff were aware of the need to assist the resident with care due to the fractures. Staff 2 was unable to locate any RN assessment of the resident’s rib fracture. Staff 3 (RN) indicated she was not with the facility at the time of the fracture, so she did not complete any significant change. The resident did not have any current issues that required a significant change of condition. The resident indicated s/he received medications when needed, plenty of food and fluids and was not experiencing any current pain issues. The resident could not specifically remember the fall that led to the fractures or any issues around the injury during that time period. The resident indicated currently s/he was doing well. The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed timely for the resident’s rib fractures, which included resident status and interventions made as a result of the assessment. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed which documented findings, resident status, and resident specific interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (LPN), Staff 5 (RCC) and Staff 6 (RCC) on 04/02/25. They acknowledged the findings.
