Inspection Findings
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the facility's policy regarding safety and supervision of residents was implemented, when one of the four sampled residents (Resident 1) was not supervised during lunchtime, which potentially resulted to a change of condition leading to Resident 1 being transferred to a general acute hospital for evaluation and treatment.
This failure had the potential to place a clinically compromised resident (Resident 1) at risk for aspirating when resident was not supervised by the staff during mealtime.

During a review of facility provided document titled SBAR (stands for situation, background, appearance, review and notify.) communication form and progress notes for RNs/LVNS/LPNs (registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses & licensed practical nurses). It indicated Resident 1 was found unresponsive and necessitated initiation of a code blue (a hospital code for an emergency that requires resuscitation - the process of reviving a patient that lacks breathing or pulse). was initiated, and subsequently transferred to an acute hospital.
