Inspection Findings

FF0657
Resident Assessment and Care Planning Deficiencies
Potential for More Than Minimal Harm

During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/18/2025 at 11:34 AM with MDS coordinator, Resident 3's MDS and care plans during admissions on 3/20/2025 and quarterly review on 6/23/2025 were reviewed.

MDS stated, care plans are implemented based on MDS assessments and resident's individual care needs.

Discharge care planning should be initiated during admissions regardless of a resident's status.

MDS stated, It is a deficiency not to document required care plans because it potentially affects the resident's care delivery.

During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 8/18/2025 at 12:34 PM, the DON stated, I am not sure if Resident 3 was supposed to have a discharge care plan during admission.

Discharges are determined by residents' desire, physician's decision and care team evaluations. A review of the facility's Policy and Procedures (P&P) titled, Care Plans -Comprehensive revised January 2025, the P&P indicated, The resident's comprehensive care plan is developed within seven (7) days of the completion of the resident's comprehensive assessment (MDS).

Assessments of residents are ongoing, and care plans are revised as information about the resident and the resident's condition change.

The care planning/Interdisciplinary Team is responsible for the review and updating of care plans: when the resident has been readmitted to the facility from a hospital stay; and at least quarterly.
