This deficient practice placed Resident 1 at risk of abuse and neglect. Cross reference to F656 Findings: A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnosis including ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease-irreversible kidney failure), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing) and anxiety disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily activities). A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - resident assessment tool) dated 12/23/2024, indicated Resident 1's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decisions was mildly impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required moderate to maximal assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves).
