verified that Resident 1 did not have a care plan for out on pass.

During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Care Plans - Comprehensive, dated 1/2025, indicated, the Care Planning/IDT team, with the resident and/or his/her family or representative, develops and maintains a comprehensive care plan for each resident that identifies the highest level of functioning the resident may be expected to attain.
