The MDS also indicated Resident 1 was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) on toileting hygiene, shower bath self, lower body dressing, putting on/ taking off footwear. The MDS indicated that Resident 1 needs substantial maximal assistance ( helper does more than half the effort) on sit to lying( the ability to move from sitting on side of bed to lying flat on the bed), sit to stand ( the ability to come to a standing position from sitting in a chair, or on the side of the bed.

The MDS indicated Resident 1 was not able to walk 10 feet (ft.-unit of measurement, once standing the ability to walk at least 10 feet in the room, corridor, or similar space) due to medical condition or safety concerns. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/4/2025 at 12:26 PM with the Registered Nurse (RN 1), of Resident 1's Fall Risk Assessment (checks to see how likely it is that you will fall) dated 9/5/2025, with a score of 95; 10/9/2025 with a score of 75; and 11/18/2025 with a score of 95 was reviewed. RN1 stated the Fall Risk Assessment scores indicate that Resident 1 was at high risk for fall. During an interview on 12/4/2025 at 2:07 PM with the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 1), CNA 1 stated that Resident 1 needs supervision while walking and transferring, such as holding Resident 1's hands to assist Resident 1 to prevent falls or accidents. During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 1's Physical Therapy Discharge Summary with Director of Rehab (DR) on 12/4/2025 at 3:38 PM. DR stated the Physical Therapy Discharge Summary indicated date of service from 9/5/2025 to 11/18/2025, Resident 1 needs supervision or touching assistance on walking 10ft.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete (LVN 2). LVN 2 stated No care plan found on Resident 1's medical chart indicating resident needs supervision or touching assistance on ADLs. LVN2 stated the care plan should be specific, and person centered to address the individual needs. LVN 2 stated that not developing and implementing person centered care plan can cause inadequate care and lack of supervision to residents. During a concurrent interview and record review of facility's Policy and Procedures (P&P) titled Care Planning revised date 6/12/2025 on 12/4/2025 at 4:15 PM with LVN 2. LVN 2 stated the P&P indicated the purpose was to ensure that a comprehensive person-centered care plan was developed for each resident based on their individual assessed needs. The P&P also indicated the care plan serves as a course of action where the resident ( resident's family and or guardian or other legal authorized representative), resident attending physician, and the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, group of healthcare professionals from diverse fields who work in a coordinated manner toward a common goal for the resident) work to help the resident move toward resident specific goals that address the resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial (combined influence of psychological factors and the surrounding social environment on physical, emotional, and/or mental wellness) needs. LVN 2 stated the facility did not develop and implement a specific person-centered care plan for Resident 1. During an interview on 12/4/2025 at 4:45 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated there was no specific care plan developed and implemented for Resident 1 regarding the needs for supervision or touching assistance. The DON stated the care plan is the guideline for the care of residents. Without specific and person-centered care plan this can potentially cause in adequate care supervision.
