The findings included: Based on observation on 3/08/17 at approximately 11:46 AM, Resident #16 was observed in room in bed with broken and missing teeth.

The DON further stated the resident had not expressed any dental pain and the facility does not have a dental contract. An interview on 3/09/17 at approximately 10:56 AM with Licensed Practical Nurse #3 revealed the facility does not have a contract with a dental office and the family would have to make a preference for dental services. LPN #3 stated the DON was still checking to see if the facility addressed the broken/missing teeth with the resident's responsible party. 2020-09-01
