Summary

Resident 15, who had a history of insidious weight loss since October 2023, was admitted to the facility and had physician orders for one-to-one feeding assistance with all meals starting on 2/13/24 and weekly weights every Tuesday starting on 5/21/24. Despite these orders, documentation showed that the resident was only weighed about once a month rather than weekly, and multiple observations revealed that the resident was eating meals independently without the required one-to-one feeding assistance. The interim director of nursing confirmed that the resident should have received weekly weights and one-to-one feeding assistance as ordered, but these services were not provided as required.
