Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a care plan to address treatment of a rash for one of five residents (Resident 1). This failure had the potential to place the resident at risk for not receiving necessary care and services.Findings: Review of Resident 1's clinical record indicated he was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including neuropathy (disease or dysfunction of one or more nerves, typically causing numbness or weakness in the hands and feet) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing). Review of Resident 1's Change of Condition Note, dated 9/4/25 indicated his skin was fragile and had an erythematous maculopapular rash (reddened discolored area of skin and elevated lesions) scattered over trunk, back and all extremities. Review of Resident 1's care plans indicated there was no care plan that addressed Resident 1's rash. During an

interview on 12/23/25 at 3 p.m., the director of nursing (DON) confirmed there was no care plan regarding Resident 1's rash. Review of the facility's policy, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, dated 12/2016 indicated the comprehensive, person-centered care plan will include measureable objectives and timeframes and incorporate identified problem areas.
