capacity to understand and make decisions.During a review of Resident 15's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a
resident assessment tool), dated 12/4/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 15 had moderately impaired
cognitive skills (ability to make daily decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 15 required partial/moderate
