Based on a review of four resident records, hospice services provided were not included on the individualized service plan for two residents.
Evidence
  1. Residents # 2 and # 3 receive hospice care. Their service plans did not include the services provided by hospice.
Plan of correction
Administrator has updated the ISP for Resident #2 to reflect hospice care services, 4-10-24. Going forward the Administrator will ensure that hospice services are reflected in the ISP. Resident #3 was discharged from hospice services on 9-19-23, thus not reflected in the ISP. The previous hospice provider was contacted 4-11-24 for proof of service dates documentation. That document will be retained in Resident #3 records.
22VAC40-73-440-A
Based on observation and record review, each staff did not submit the results of a risk assessment on or within seven days prior to the first day of work, documenting the absence of tuberculosis in a communicable form.
Evidence

  4. The documented date of admission for resident # 3 is 7-27-23. The UAI was documented as completed on 10-21-23.

22VAC40-73-310-H
Based on a review of four resident records, one resident was admitted and retained with a documented prohibited care need.
Evidence
  1. The physician documented a prohibited care need on the physical examination for resident # 1.
Plan of correction
The Administrator and Manager will ensure that the physician completing physical is aware that the intention for the resident is to be admitted into an assisted living facility and not a skilled nursing facility. The physician mistakenly documented a prohibited condition that the resident requires continuous licensed nursing care, under the impression that the box needed to be checked yes. Physician has been contacted on 4-10-24 and a new physical will be completed reflecting no prohibited conditions.
22VAC40-73-720-A
Based on a review of four resident records, a written Do Not Resuscitate Order (DNR) was not included in the individualized service plan for one resident.

Evidence
  1. Staff # 1 was asked and was unable to find Morphine ordered for PRN administration for resident # 2 in the medication cart.
Plan of correction
Manager sent expired medication to the pharmacy to dispose of, with intentions of receiving more medication in return. The manager spoke with hospice nurse on 4-10-24 concerning the medication. The hospice nurse apologized for not submitting the order earlier and medication is expected to arrive at the facility by 4-11-24. The PRN hospice medication was delivered on 4-11-204. Administrator and manager will ensure that all PRN medications are on site and available for administration.
