Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way that maximizes each resident's well being. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDSN, a licensed nurse who specializes in the assessment and documentation of patient health data in long-term care) 1 completed the annual licensed nurse competency for 2023 and 2024. This deficient practice caused an increased risk for improper resident assessments, inadequate documentation, and could negatively impact

the quality of care to the residents which could lead to hospitalization or death. Cross Referenced to F-F656, F-F684, F-F756 Findings: During an interview on 8/14/2025 at 10:30 AM, MDSN 1 stated she did not know the facility's policy and procedure for comprehensive care plans (a detailed, individualized document that outlines all aspects of a patient's medical, emotional, and daily living needs). During an interview on 8/14/2025 at 12:30 PM, MDSN 2 stated developing residents' comprehensive care plans is one of the tasks of the MDS nurses. MDSN 2 stated MDS nurses should know the facility's policy for developing comprehensive care plans, as the facility has up to 21 days upon resident's admission to develop a comprehensive care plan. MDSN 2 stated this included reviewing all the pertinent records (hospital records, active orders, Doctor's History and Physical notes). MDSN 2 stated the facility conducted yearly competency to licensed nurses to ensure staff were updated and provided reminders of the standard of practice. During an interview on 8/14/2025 at 4:52 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated and verified that MDSN 1 did not complete the annual licensed nurse competency (a measurable pattern of knowledge, skills, abilities, behaviors, and other characteristics that an individual need to perform work roles or occupational functions successfully) and should have completed it for the year 2023 and 2024. During a concurrent record review and interview on 8/14/2025 at 4:57 PM, the facility's Licensed Nurse Competency checklist was reviewed. The DON verified that the care plan was one of the skills that was checked off on

the list. The DON stated completing the annual licensed competency was important to ensure the licensed nurses were up to date with knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform their roles for the residents. The DON stated it would help the licensed nurses to effectively and safely conduct their tasks for the residents.

During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Training Requirement, revised on 12/19/2022, the P&P indicated

the facility developed, implemented, and maintained an effective training program for all new and existing staff, consistent with their expected roles. During a review of facility's P&P titled, Competency Evaluation, revised on 12/19/2022, the P&P indicated annual competency was evaluated at a frequency determined by

the facility assessment, evaluation of the training program, and/or job performance evaluations. During a

review of facility's assessment dated [DATE REDACTED], the facility assessment indicated in the staff training / education and competencies section, that Person-centered care was one of the topics in this section and should include but not be limited to person-centered care planning, education of resident and family /resident representative about treatments and medications, documentation of resident treatment references, end-of-life care, and advance care planning.
