5657	PIERPONT CENTER AT FAIRMONT CAMPUS	515155	1543 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD	FAIRMONT	WV	26554	2015-07-29	328	D	0	1	DSPZ11	Based on resident interview, observation, medical record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident received needed foot care and treatment. Resident #159's toenails were long, thick, protruding upward, and causing the resident discomfort. The resident was not seen by the visiting podiatrist on multiple occasions although she was present in the facility at the time of his visits. This was found for one (1) resident who requested an interview. Resident identifier: #159. Facility census: 99. Findings include: a) Resident #159 Resident #159 was interviewed on 07/21/15 at 10:55 a.m., after she requested to speak with a surveyor. She reported she had requested to see the podiatrist during his visits to the facility on multiple occasions and each time was told she was not on the list. She pulled off her sock to display her long, thick, and upward protruding nails that were causing discomfort. Review of the medical record, on 07/21/15 at 11:15 a.m., revealed Resident #159 was initially admitted to the facility on the A wing for therapy on 05/05/15. She was transferred to acute care on 05/13/15 and returned to the A wing on 05/20/15 for further therapy. On 07/07/15, she was transferred to the B wing for long term care. Her physician orders did not include a consult with the visiting podiatrist. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #208 reviewed the medical record during an interview on 07/21/15 at 11:30 a.m. She confirmed there were no orders in Resident #159's medical record for a consult with the visiting podiatrist. LPN #208 examined the resident's feet and agreed she needed to have nail care by the podiatrist. The Director of Nursing (DON) and LPN #203 were interviewed on 07/21/15 at 12:40 p.m. They were unaware of the resident's long thick toenails or that the resident has not seen the podiatrist since her admission. During a follow up interview with the DON on 07/21/15 at 5:00 p.m., he reported the podiatrist visited monthly and examined residents on either the A wing or the B wing. He was on the A wing on 05/28/15, the B wing on 06/11/15, and again on the A wing on 07/09/15. He alternated wings and looked at each resident every ninety (90) days. The DON agreed the resident was in the facility during all three (3) of these visits. He reported she was missed because she was transferred to the B wing on the other side of the building and they currently did not have a tracking system in place to verify residents were seen every ninety (90) days by the podiatrist. On 07/21/15 at 5:06 p.m., the DON agreed Resident #159 needs to have her nails trimmed by the podiatrist. On 07/22/15, LPN #203 reported the podiatrist would be in to treat Resident #159 on 07/23/15.	2018-09-01
