The DON stated it was the responsibility of licensed staff or the MDS Coordinator to initiate the Care Plan when Resident 2 was admitted to facility.
The DON stated Resident 2's Care Plan should have addressed that Resident 2 could not be cohorted (grouping residents together based on their infection status to prevent the spread of illness to healthy residents) with a resident who had an active infection.
The DON stated the Care Plan was a guide to implement the necessary interventions for Resident 2.
The DON stated Resident 2's Care Plan was not comprehensive and person centered.
