11332 GOLDEN LIVINGCENTER - MORGANTOWN 515049 1379 VAN VOORHIS RD MORGANTOWN WV 26505 2010-12-28 152 D     OYFI11 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** . Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to verify that a surrogate decision-maker had the necessary authority to act on behalf of a resident who had been determined to lack the capacity to make healthcare decisions, for one (1) of six (6) sampled residents. Resident identifier: #23. Facility census: 89. Findings include: a) Resident #23 A review of Resident #23's medical record revealed a [AGE] year old female who was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE], and who had been determined to lack the capacity to make healthcare decisions by her attending physician on 08/21/08. The face sheet in the resident's record indicated the resident had designated an individual to serve as her medical power of attorney representative (MPOA), but there was no copy of this document in the record. Social service notes, dated 12/13/10, stated the resident's sister had been appointed to serve as her health care surrogate (HCS), and documentation elsewhere in the record indicated this HCS was making healthcare decisions for the resident. No record of the appointment of a HCS by the resident's attending physician was located in the record. During an interview with the social worker (Employee #5) at 10:40 a.m. on 12/28/10, she verified, after review of the resident's medical record and her office records, that there was no record of a legal representative. She speculated it had been misplaced at some point. . 2014-04-01
