Good Samaritan Society - Woodland: Care Plan Delays - MN

Healthcare Facility
Good Samaritan Society - Woodland
Brainerd, MN  ·  5/5 stars

The nurse, identified in inspection documents as RN-B, told inspectors that the care plans for two residents — listed as R1 and R40 — did not accurately reflect the care those residents currently required. The plans had not been modified to account for their present needs.

Care plans are the documents nursing home staff rely on to understand how to approach each resident's medical, physical, and personal care. When they are out of date, staff working a shift may not know what precautions to take or what a resident's current condition actually requires. RN-B told inspectors the outdated plans meant staff lacked accurate guidance on the precautions needed to protect the residents, themselves, and other staff.

The facility's own care plan policy states that each resident will have an individualized, person-centered plan that includes measurable goals and timetables, and that the plan will be modified to reflect care currently required. For R1 and R40, that didn't happen.

Inspectors rated the violation as causing minimal harm or the potential for actual harm, and noted that few residents were affected.

The inspection was completed February 11, 2026. What RN-B could not say, and what the inspection record does not answer, is how long R1 and R40 had been receiving care guided by plans that no longer described them accurately.
