63	BURLINGTON HEALTH & REHAB	475014	300 PEARL STREET	BURLINGTON	VT	5401	2017-12-14	552	D	0	1	0QUX11	Based upon record review and interview the facility failed to ensure that 1 of 3 newly admitted residents in the sample was informed in a timely manner of the care and services and consent to treatment that would be provided. (Resident #143) Findings include: 1. During record review, Resident #143's Electronic and hard copy medical record did not demonstrate that the resident was informed and provided, in a timely manner, a signed admission agreement for consent to treatment, care plans and Advanced Directives. The admission paperwork denotes that the resident was admitted the end of (MONTH) (YEAR), however, the admission paperwork was signed approximately one week later on 10/06/17. Per interview on 12/11/17 at 3:57 PM, the Social Worker (MSW) acknowledged that there should be a copy of the Advanced Directive in the chart and there would be documentation of the attempts to get a copy. The MSW stated the family member was out of town around the time of admission and normally there is follow up attempts. However, there is no evidence that the family was alerted for the need to bring in a copy if possible. The MSW confirmed the above. In addition, per interview with Admission Director on 12/13/17 at 4:01 PM, explained the expectation is that the Client Services Representative is given the admission packet to go over with the newly admitted resident. All paper work is expected to be signed at the time of admission. Resident #143 was identified as being able to sign the admission paperwork. The Admission Director was able to show a reminder via email on 09/29/17 to obtain this information. However, the chart and the hard copy folder demonstrated the admission paperwork was signed on 10/06/17, (the admission folder showed being completed on 10/07/17). The Admission Director at this time, confirmed the informed consent for treatment and information for services was not given in a timely manner.	2020-09-01
