Residents Affected - Some
a.

Resident 1's change of condition (COC, a sudden, clinically important deviation from a patient's baseline in
physical, cognitive, behavioral, of functional domains) of weight loss of six (6) pounds (lbs., unit of

Failing to initiate a resident centered care plan and provide interventions to address Resident 1's weight
loss noted on 7/3/2024 and poor meal intake that was noted on 7/3/2024 to 7/9/2024.

to General Acute Hospital (GACH) and was diagnosed with dehydration (a dangerous loss of body fluid
caused by illness, sweating, or inadequate intake), anorexia (an eating disorder causing people to obsess
about weight and what they eat), and general weakness, and resident is at risk for malnutrition (occurs
when the body doesn't get enough nutrients).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated Resident 1 was originally admitted by the
facility on 10/31/2016 and was readmitted on [DATE] with the following diagnoses of dehydration and
diabetes (a group of diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood).
During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), dated 7/18/2024, indicated Resident 1 has
