SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
family's request. At that time, the RD stated that the increase of supplement was reflective of the resident's status of not eating well and acknowledged that the record did not reflect how the effectiveness of the nutritional intervention was measured. On 9/16/25 at 1:22 PM, in the presence of the survey team, the DON, the Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (LNHA) and the Regional Nurse, the surveyor discussed the concern regarding the care plan that reflected the resident required assistance with meals, opposed to the assessment that reflected the resident was dependent for activities of eating and the POCs that reflected the resident did not receive full assistance 27 out of 73 shifts.
Additionally, the surveyor discussed the concern that the former RD increased the resident's nutritional supplement with no method of measurement for the effectiveness of the intervention, and the care plan intervention to monitor, record and report greater that three (3) pound weight loss to the Medical Doctor (MD) was not followed. On 9/17/25 at 10:15 AM, during a meeting with the survey team, the R/RN, the DON and the LNHA, the RD stated that the care plan was generic and should have been individualized.
