Deficiencies Found: 1

Deficiency #1

Rule/Regulation Violated:
C. A manager shall ensure that:
1. A caregiver or an assistant caregiver:
g. Documents the services provided in the resident's medical record; and
Evidence/Findings:
Based on record review and interview, the manager failed to ensure a caregiver documented services provided to a resident in the resident's medical record, for two of two residents sampled. The deficient practice posed a risk as the Department was unable to verify required services were provided to a resident.

Findings include:

1. A review of R1's medical record revealed a current service plan for directed care services. The service plan indicated R1 required "[Daily] Bathing, assistance...Resident will be clean and odor free daily. Effective March 7, 2023." Further review of R1's medical record revealed activities of daily living (ADL) logs. A review of R1's May 2023 ADL log revealed blank gaps indicating R1 did not receive daily bathing assistance on May 18, 23-24, and 31, 2023. Additionally, the ADLs did not include documentation indicating R1 refused or did not require this service.

2. A review of R2's medical record revealed a current service plan for personal care services. The service plan indicated R2's required "Bathing Stand By Assist...Resident will receive physical assistance to bathe as well as to transfer in and out of shower as needed. Effective May 30, 2023." Further review of R2's medical record revealed ADL logs. A review of R2's November 2023 ADL log revealed blank gaps indicating R2 did not receive bathing assistance on November 28 and 31, 2023. Additionally, the ADLs did not include documentation indicating R2 refused or did not require this service.

3. In an interview, the Compliance Officer asked E3 if R1 and R2 were out of the facility on the aforementioned dates. E3 stated, "No, caregivers didn't document services." E3 acknowledged a caregiver did not provide assistance with activities of daily living according to R1's and R2's service plan.
