Summary
A review of the medical record, staff interviews, and facility policy revealed that a resident was not seen by a provider during the entire admission period from 05/07/25 through discharge on 08/21/25. The medical record for this resident, who was cognitively intact according to the five-day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, showed no physician progress notes for the duration of the stay. Facility assessment documentation indicated that residents should expect a standard of care from medical practitioners and other healthcare professionals necessary to provide the required support and care. This deficiency was identified during an investigation under Complaint Number 2572811.
