Summary
The facility failed to implement its policies and procedures regarding COVID-19 immunizations for five residents reviewed. Specifically, there was no documented evidence in the medical records that these residents or their representatives received education about the benefits and potential side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. This lack of documentation was confirmed by staff during interviews and record reviews. The facility's own protocols required education and documentation for all residents and staff, but this was not completed for the residents in question.
