Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed timely, documented findings, resident status and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 2 of 2 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 10/2021 with diagnoses including osteoarthritis.
a. Weight records, dated 08/16/22 through 01/05/23 and progress notes dated 11/20/22 through 01/06/23, indicated the resident experienced a 10.4 pound weight gain from 12/03/22 to 01/05/23. This constituted a 9.26% severe weight gain in one month.
Multiple observations of the resident between 01/09/23 and 01/10/23 showed the resident was independent with his/her meal once it was delivered. The resident ate 75-100% of the meals observed. The resident had snacks and fluids available in his/her apartment. The resident was able to request additional items and maneuver around the facility independently. The resident walked to and from the dining room and common areas without assistance and was frequently seated in a recliner in his/her room with feet flat on the floor. The resident's lower legs appeared swollen and no wounds were observed.
In interviews between 01/09/23 and 01/11/23, Staff 3 (LPN) and Staff 7 (MT/CG) indicated the resident's intake was improved now and s/he was able to eat without assistance.
In interview on 01/09/23, Resident 2 indicated s/he received plenty to eat and could request more or different items as s/he chose to. The resident stated s/he had snacks available in their apartment and could get other items from the kitchen if s/he was still hungry. The resident indicated staff were very good about bringing him/her snacks and other foods if s/he did not make it down to the meal. The resident further stated s/he had been sick and uncomfortable a few months back but was doing better now and was having a particularly good day at the time of the interview. There were no concerns with his/her care or treatment by staff. The resident indicated s/he was supposed to elevate legs whenever possible to help with the swelling but was more comfortable seated with his/her feet on the floor.
b. The resident experienced two falls on 11/21/22 which resulted in skin tears to both arms, a trip to the emergency room, a hospital admission and multiple rib fractures.
Progress notes and physician communications dated 11/20/22 through 01/06/23 indicated the resident experienced multiple falls with and without injury and had a bout of COVID with increased weakness. The resident was admitted to the hospital for rib fractures from 11/21/22 through 11/23/22.
Interview with Staff 2 (RN) on 01/10/23 indicated she was not made aware of the resident's weight gain until the time of survey. She was not aware the resident had sustained multiple rib fractures in November until the survey team questioned. Staff 2 stated she was not scheduled to be in the building on a specific day and was not routinely in the facility. Staff 2 stated she did not complete a significant change of condition for the weight gain and the rib fractures.
The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for the weight gain and the rib fractures which documented findings, 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 interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (RN) and Staff 3 (LPN) on 01/10/23. The staff acknowledged the findings and understood the need for communication to the RN.
2. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 12/2014 with diagnoses including edema.
Weight records, dated 08/12/22 through 01/06/23 and progress notes dated 11/09/22 through 01/06/23, indicated the resident experienced a 12.4 pound weight loss from 11/11/22 to 12/09/22. This constituted a 12.26% severe weight loss in one month. The resident was currently on weekly weights and records showed the weights trended upwards and were stabilizing.
Multiple observations of the resident between 01/09/23 and 01/10/23 showed the resident was independent with his/her meal once it was delivered. The resident ate 75-100% of the meals observed. The resident had snacks and fluids available in his/her apartment. The resident was able to request additional items and maneuver around the facility independently. Bandages were noted on both of the resident's lower legs in addition to taut, red skin with some swelling noted. There was no sign of drainage. The resident wheeled him/herself to and from the dining room and common areas utilizing his/her feet.
In interviews between 01/09/23 and 01/11/23, Staff 3 (LPN) and Staff 7 (MT/CG) indicated the resident's intake had improved now and s/he was able to eat without assistance.

The staff both indicated the resident was able to make his/her needs known, direct their own care, and was independent with the majority of ADLs.
In interview on 01/09/23, Resident 4 expressed no concerns with his/her care or staff assistance. The resident indicated s/he received plenty to eat and requested that staff puree all the items of choice together in one dish. The resident indicated s/he had shakes several times a day, snacks and the regular meals. Sometimes his/her appetite wasn't great, but s/he always tried to eat and drink something.

Staff 2 stated she was not scheduled to be in the building on a specific day and was not routinely in the facility.
