D
F0550 F550: Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights.
Short Summary

A resident with severe cognitive impairment was left exposed in a hallway while waiting for a shower, as the blanket covering them slipped, leaving their groin area exposed.

Inaccurate MDS Coding for Anticoagulant Use
D
F0641 F641: Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Short Summary

A facility failed to accurately code the MDS assessment for a resident by omitting the use of an anticoagulant, despite the resident being prescribed and administered Warfarin for chronic atrial-fibrillation. The care plan included anticoagulant therapy, but the MDS only documented the use of a diuretic and an anti-platelet. An LPN acknowledged the discrepancy.

Short Summary

The facility failed to update care plans for three residents, leading to deficiencies in care. A resident receiving hospice services did not have this documented in their care plan. Two residents had inaccuracies in their care plans regarding the use of wanderguard devices, with one resident's care plan showing an incorrect implementation date and another's not updated to reflect the removal of the device. Staff interviews confirmed these discrepancies.

The resident had diagnoses including non-Alzheimer's dementia, anxiety disorder, depression, and bipolar disorder, and was taking multiple psychiatric medications. The Social Services Director confirmed the last PASRR was completed over a year ago and acknowledged the oversight in updating the PASRR after new medications were added.
