The resident's service plan, dated 02/11/24, significant change of condition assessment dated 02/14/24, and progress notes dated 01/22/24 through 04/07/24, were reviewed.

In interview with Staff 7 (Wellness Director) on 04/12/24, she stated Resident 5 had the weight loss intervention of weekly weight monitoring starting 12/07/23 due to risk for weight loss, and the weekly monitoring was confirmed in the 02/14/24 weight loss assessment. At the time of the weight loss assessment on 02/14/24 Resident 5 weighed 90.5 pounds. During the survey, Resident 5 was weighed and found to weigh 99.0 pounds.Review of the weight record between 01/01/24 and 04/01/24 showed nine of twelve weeks there was no weight taken. The intervention for weekly weights remained on the 04/2024 MAR, but was not consistently implemented.In interview with Staff 5 (Wellness RN) on 04/11/24 she acknowledged the missing weekly weights, and that some of the weights taken may not have been accurate due to Resident 5 requiring an individualized two person procedure for weights due to physical status.
