During a review of Resident 17's Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (or POLST, a form that gives instructions for the resident's care in life-threatening medical situations) form, dated 5/22/24, the POLST indicated advanced directive not available. Further review of Resident 17's medical record did not contain a copy of an advanced directive. During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, dated 10/8/24, the record indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. During a review of Resident 2's POLST form, dated 8/2/24, the form indicated Resident 2 had capacity to make decisions but indicated no information on the presence of an advanced directive.
