Summary
The facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment accurately reflected the status of a resident, identified as Resident 49. The resident was admitted with end-stage kidney disease and required hemodialysis three times per week. However, the quarterly MDS assessment incorrectly indicated that the resident was not receiving dialysis treatments. This discrepancy was confirmed during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator, who acknowledged that the resident attended dialysis three times per week and that the MDS was inaccurately coded.
