A resident experienced a decline in condition after a ureteral stent placement, showing symptoms of lethargy and fever. The facility staff failed to promptly notify the physician, contrary to policy, resulting in the resident being hospitalized with sepsis and other complications. Interviews with staff confirmed the expectation to notify the provider, but no documentation of such notification was found.
A resident with a history of multiple health issues underwent a ureteral stent placement and returned to the facility without proper post-procedure monitoring.

Interviews confirmed the expected standard of practice was not followed, resulting in a significant deficiency.
Failure to Notify Ombudsman of Resident Hospital Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not notify the Ombudsman of a resident’s transfer from the facility to the hospital after a change in condition. Resident R1 was admitted to the facility and, on 06/27/25, had a change in condition and was transferred to the hospital. A Bedhold and Notice of Transfer form was provided to R1, but on 08/26/2025 the surveyor requested documentation of Ombudsman notification for the hospital transfer with return anticipated, and Social Services stated a notice could not be located. On 08/27/2025, the Nursing Home Administrator stated there are different reports in the system involving transfers and discharges and believed the incorrect form that did not include hospital transfers was sent to the Ombudsman, and the facility was still looking into the issue. Notice to the Ombudsman was not provided to the surveyor.
Failure to Notify Physician of Resident's Post-Procedure Deterioration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to promptly notify and consult with a resident's physician when there was a deterioration in the resident's clinical condition following a ureteral stent placement. The resident, identified as R15, exhibited new symptoms of lethargy and fever after the procedure, but the staff did not immediately inform the provider. This oversight resulted in actual harm when the resident was found unresponsive and subsequently admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of sepsis secondary to acute pyelonephritis, acute hypoxic respiratory failure, and acute metabolic encephalopathy. R15 had a history of dementia, epilepsy, diabetes, urinary tract infection, and kidney stones. After undergoing an outpatient ureteral stent placement, R15 returned to the facility and began showing signs of distress, including lethargy and a fever of 101.2°F. Despite the facility's policy requiring notification of the physician for significant changes in a resident's condition, the staff did not contact the provider when these symptoms were first observed. The resident's condition worsened, leading to hospitalization. Interviews with facility staff, including the Director of Nursing and registered nurses, revealed that the expectation was to notify the provider immediately upon noticing such symptoms. However, there was no documentation of any provider notification until the resident's condition had significantly deteriorated. The attending physician confirmed that earlier notification could have potentially mitigated the severity of the resident's symptoms upon hospitalization.
Failure to Monitor Resident Post-Ureteral Stent Placement
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident received appropriate treatment and care following a ureteral stent placement, as evidenced by the lack of proper assessment and monitoring post-procedure. The resident, who had a history of dementia, epilepsy, diabetes, urinary tract infection, and kidney stones, underwent an outpatient ureteral stent placement and returned to the facility on the same day. Despite the facility's policy requiring monitoring for postoperative risks and complications, no vital signs or assessments were documented upon the resident's return or during subsequent shifts. The resident's condition deteriorated, leading to hospitalization with diagnoses of sepsis secondary to left acute pyelonephritis, acute hypoxic respiratory failure, and acute metabolic encephalopathy. Nursing notes indicated that the resident experienced pain and discomfort, lethargy, and elevated temperatures, yet there was no comprehensive assessment or documentation of vital signs until much later. The lack of timely and thorough assessments contributed to the delay in identifying the resident's worsening condition. Interviews with the Director of Nursing and registered nurses revealed that the expected standard of practice was to complete vital signs and assessments upon the resident's return and during each shift post-procedure. However, the facility failed to adhere to these standards, as confirmed by the absence of documentation. This deficiency highlights a significant lapse in the facility's adherence to professional standards of practice for monitoring residents after medical procedures.
