Every finding on record at Golden Bridge Hospice Inc.

Upon observation, there was no evidence of contracts/agreements with other facilities/agencies/hospices to receive patients in the event the hospice cannot provide care to their patients during an emergency. Corrected on site.

Upon patient record review, 2 of 5 records (Patient #2,#3) did not have evidence in the patient record that the comprehensive assessment includes a bereavement component completed on involved members of the patient, which includes the needs of the patient's family and other individuals focusing on the social, spiritual, and cultural factors that may impact their ability to cope with the patient's death. Information gathered from the initial bereavement assessment is incorporated into the plan of care and is considered in the bereavement plan of care. Patient #2: The record indicated that the patent lived with her spouse. The bereavement assessment was conducted on the daughter who was a caregiver, however there was not evidence that a bereavement assessment was conducted on the patient's spouse. Patient #3: The record indicated that the patent lived with his spouse. The bereavement assessment was conducted on the son who was a caregiver, however there was not evidence that a bereavement assessment was conducted on the patient's spouse.
