Summary

The facility failed to ensure that a Speech Therapist providing care to residents was properly licensed. A Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) with a provisional license, Employee E2, was required to practice under the supervision of a licensed SLP. However, this supervision ceased on November 10, 2024, when the supervising licensed SLP left the facility. From that date until December 12, 2024, Employee E2 worked without the required daily supervision. A new licensed SLP, Employee E3, was hired but only provided supervision every two to three weeks, which did not meet the requirement for daily supervision. This lack of proper supervision was confirmed by both the provisional SLP and the Nursing Home Administrator, as well as the Supervisor for the State Licensing Board.

Plan Of Correction

1. The facility cannot correct that E2 had no SLP supervision from 11-10-24 to 12/12/24. 2. The facility will ensure the SLP on a provisional license will receive supervision from a licensed SLP. 3. The Regional Clinical Consultant will re-educate the Nursing Home Administrator on Federal regulation 0826, detailing ensuring if a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) is currently working on a provisional license, is provided supervision from a Licensed SLP. 4. The NHA/designee will audit weekly x 4 weeks then monthly x 2 to ensure that a SLP on a provisional license who provides care is supervised by a licensed SLP. 5. Date of compliance 2-10-25
