V9 reviewed R10's medical record with this surveyor. V9 acknowledged that the last community survival skill assessment completed is dated 3/31/25. V9 stated that maybe she did not lock her assessment and that is why it is not showing up. V9 was informed that even an assessment in progress would appear in the resident's electronic medical record.R1's medical record notes his last community skills assessment was completed on 7/9/25.R17's medical record notes his last community skills assessment was completed on 8/1/25.R18's medical record notes his last community skills assessment was completed on 9/8/25.The facility presented a document titled admission, quarterly, annual, and significant change assessments.
