Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to implement the
care plan interventions for two of eleven sampled residents (Residents 2 and 3). * The facility failed to
ensure Residents 2 and 3's care plan interventions to monitor the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia
(low blood glucose) and hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) were implemented. These failures posed the
risk of the residents not receiving services that were person-centered to meet the specific needs of each
resident.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Planning
revised April 2025 showed it is the policy of this facility that the IDT shall develop a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a
resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive
assessment. The IDT team will also develop and implement a baseline care plan for each resident, within
48 hours of admission, that includes minimum healthcare information necessary to properly care for each
resident and instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care that meet professional
standards of quality care. 1. a. Medical record review for Resident 2 was initiated on 11/18/25. Resident 2
was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 2's care plan for DM dated 6/9/25, showed the
following interventions:- monitor/document/report to MD PRN for signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia:
sweating, tremor, increased heart rate (tachycardia), pallor, nervousness, confusion, slurred speech, lack of
coordination, staggering gait.- monitor/document/report to MD PRN for signs and symptoms of
hyperglycemia: increased thirst and appetite, frequent urination, weight loss, fatigue, dry skin, poor wound
healing, muscle cramps, abdominal pain, Kussmaul breathing, acetone breath (smells fruity), stupor, and
coma. Review of Resident 2's H&P examination dated 11/22/25, showed the resident had DM Type 2 with
hyperglycemia. Review of Resident 2's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed the resident was
cognitively intact. Further review of Resident 2's medical record failed to show documented evidence the
resident was monitored for the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. On 12/19/25 at
1303 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 2. RN 2 verified
Resident 2 was not monitored for the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. RN 2
stated the licensed nurse should have monitored Resident 2's signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and
hyperglycemia. RN 2 stated Resident 2 had diabetes and high risk of blood sugar fluctuations. On 12/19/25
at 1400 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the DON. The DON
verified Resident 2 was not monitored for the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. The
DON stated the licensed nurse should have identified there was no monitoring and should have initiated a
way of monitoring Resident 2's signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. b. Closed medical
record review for Resident 3 was initiated on 11/18/25. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
and discharged on 11/21/25. Review of Resident 2's care plan for DM dated 10/30/25, showed
