6979	SGMC LAKELAND VILLA	115707	138 WEST THIGPEN AVE	LAKELAND	GA	31635	2013-02-14	411	D	0	1	YKS711	Based on record review, interviews with staff and a resident, and observations, it was determined that the facility had failed to provide timely routine dental services for one resident (C) in a total sample of 29 residents. Findings include: Resident C had a care plan which had been reviewed on 12/12/12 to address his/her need for staff assistance with all of his/her activities-of-daily living (ADLs). The interventions included that staff would provide dental care after each meal and at bedtime, report loose or ill-fitting dentures, and offer dental services as needed. During an interview on 2/13/13 at 8:30 a.m., resident C stated that his/her gums and mouth were sore along the bottom on the right side. Although the resident said that he/she had not reported the problem to nursing staff, a review of the 1/02/13 Resident Council meeting minutes revealed staff documentation that Social Service would follow up on resident C's complaint about his/her gums hurting. However, there was no evidence that the staff had followed up on the resident's complaint. Staff failed to implement their planned intervention to offer dental services as needed. During an interview on 2/13/13 at 10:51 a.m., the Social Service Director (SSD) stated that the facility was in the process of getting a mobile dentist to come to the facility. She stated that, for now, if a resident complained of mouth or tooth pain then, the staff would report it to nursing or her. She said that then she called the doctor to see if it might could be a medical problem or if the resident needed an appointment with a dentist. She stated that the facility would then send the resident out to a dentist. On 2/13/13 at 11:06 a.m., the SSD said that she was unaware the resident C had ever complained about any dental problems. The SSD said that the nurses examined the resident's mouths on admission and assessed their dental needs and then the CNAs assessed the residents' mouths when they provided mouth care. On 2/13/13 at 11:35 a.m., the SSD stated that, when resident C was admitted , a family member took the resident for dental appointments but, the resident had not been to the dentist for the past two years. The SSD did not know when the resident had last been examined by a dentist. After the surveyor's inquiry, on 2/13/13 at 11:21 a.m., the SSD stated that the resident's physician had referred the resident to a dentist.	2017-09-01
