The facility policy titled Care Plans, revised 03/22/2017, documented each resident would have a comprehensive person-centered care plan developed by the interdisciplinary team.
The care plans would be updated as the needs of the resident changed and would include any updated information based on details of the comprehensive assessment.
The care plan included the instructions needed to provide effective person-centered care of the resident that met professional standards of quality care.
The comprehensive person-centered care plan was consistent with resident's rights and included measurable objectives and timeframes to meet the resident's medical, nursing, and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment and included the description of any services that were furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
More Reports
Source: This inspection report was downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases nursing home inspection reports in bulk. The findings reflect what state surveyors documented in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies on the date of the inspection.
Plan of correction not included: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to their state survey agency and those responses may not appear in CMS public data at the time of release. The absence of a plan of correction in this report does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken by the facility are encouraged to contact the facility or their state survey agency directly.
Corrections may have been made: This report reflects conditions observed on the date of the survey. The facility may have implemented staffing changes, additional training, policy revisions, or other corrective actions since this report was issued. We publish what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
