Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident with diagnoses including mild cognitive impairment, transient ischemic attack, cerebral infarction, and aortic valve stenosis was provided the COVID-19 vaccine after consenting to receive it. Documentation showed that the resident had not received any COVID-19 vaccinations as of the date reviewed, despite having signed a consent form to receive the vaccine. The resident's clinical record lacked evidence that the vaccine was administered, and this was confirmed by the DON, who acknowledged the absence of documentation and stated that staff are expected to review and offer immunizations upon admission and at quarterly care conferences.
