This failure had the potential to result in weight loss and malnutrition for Resident 28 and could affect Resident 28's health condition.

    Inspectors wroteBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to complete a performance evaluation for at least once every 12 months for one of two sampled Certified Nursing Assistants 3 (CNA 3). This failure had the potential for the facility to not be aware of CNA 3's competency skills and techniques and miss the opportunity to provide the necessary in-service education specific to CNA 3's performance which could negatively affect the provision of care to residents.

    Inspectors wroteBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to act upon the pharmacist's monthly medication regimen review (MRR, a thorough evaluation of the medication regimen of a resident, with the goal of promoting positive outcomes and minimizing adverse consequences associated with medication) recommendation to obtain an informed consent for the use of Venlafaxine (medication used to treat depression, anxiety disorder and panic disorder) for one of five sampled residents (Resident 38) on psychotropic medication (medication that affects brain activities associated with mental process and behavior). This failure had the potential to result in Resident 38 receiving an unnecessary medication and could prevent Resident 38 from maintaining the resident's highest practicable level of physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.

This deficient practice had the potential to result in an increased risk of spread of infection to the residents, staff, and other visitors in the facility.
