interview and concurrent record review on 8/20/25 at 2:57 p.m., Resident 1's physician orders and progress notes were reviewed with Director of Social Service (DSS). DSS stated she had not scheduled eye doctor appointment for Resident 1 because she (DSS) has not reviewed Resident 1's medical records. DSS stated there was no documented evidence that indicated that Resident 1 had been seen by an optometrist since Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 2/14/23. DSS stated it is very important that all the residents are seen by the eye doctor at least every 3 to 4 months and as needed to prevent a delay in eye care. During
an interview and concurrent record review on 8/20/25 at 3:34 p.m., Director of Nursing (DON) stated according to the facility's Eye Care Policy and Procedures all residents are supposed to see the eye doctor approximately every 3-6 months and as needed. During an interview and concurrent record review of Resident 1's medical records with the DON, there was no documented evidence that an eye doctor had seen Resident 1 since 2/14/23. DON stated if residents are not seen by the eye doctor it can cause a delay
in eye care. During an interview on 8/21/25 at 2:45 p.m., the Optometrist (a primary care professional who conducts eye exams, diagnoses and treats vision problems and certain eye diseases, and prescribes corrective lenses like glasses and contact) stated he conducts eye visits once a year at the facility for the residents. The Optometrist stated none of the nurses have ever reported to him that Resident 1 was experiencing itchy eyes or having discoloration bilaterally to her eyes. The Optometrist stated if the residents are experiencing issues with their eyes and a problem exists and left untreated the resident's eyes can get worse. During an interview on 8/20/25 at 3:59 p.m., the Administrator stated a resident only sees the ophthalmologist based on the resident's needs and that the optometrist only sees the residents in
the facility as needed. The Administrator stated the facility does not have a policy for eye care or vision care.
