8081	WYNFIELD PARK HEALTH AND REHABILITATION	115625	223 W.THIRD AVENUE	ALBANY	GA	31701	2012-03-29	412	D	0	1	LF6S11	Based on observation, record review, and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide or to arrange for dental services for the one resident (H). who had dental problems from a total sample of 36 residents. Findings include: During an interview on 03/26/12 at 2:39 p.m., resident H stated that he/she was missing some teeth and that his/her dental bridge had broken prior to admission to the facility much more than a year ago. The resident did not remember anyone assessing his/her teeth since being in the facility or asking him/her if he/she wanted to see a dentist. The resident stated that chewing was difficult because of the missing teeth. There was a handwritten note dated 10/8/10 on the resident's care plan that he/she had missing teeth and poor dental hygiene. The documented goal was that he/she would be free of any oral/dental problems. However. licensed staff coded the resident on the 12/27/11 Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment as having had no concerns with oral/dental status. There was a 3/22/12 registered dietician's nutritional assessment of the resident that he/she had problems of chewing. During an interview on 03/28/12 at 3:39 p.m., the social worker VV stated that the nurse was supposed to obtain the information about dental needs and then give it to the designated person in the financial department. On 3/28/12 at 3:50 p.m., the employee from the financial department stated that, upon admission, residents were informed about a plan for dental coverage that allowed the residents to decrease their liability owed to the facility when paying for the plan. She stated that, after admission, residents could be referred to the program for further information by notification to her by the nursing staff. She stated that, after admission, when dental concerns were discovered, she thought the nurse or social worker would communicate the (dental) concerns and follow up on them During interviews with three random LPNs on the second floor on 03/28/12 at 3:50 p.m. and again on 03/29/12 at 9:50 a.m., they stated that they did not know how the residents were included to the list to be seen by the dentist. Resident H was not on the list to be seen by the dentist. There was no evidence that any referrals had been made to address the dental needs for resident H.	2016-07-01
