admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included chronic kidney disease stage 4, (severe
kidney damage and significantly reduced kidney function), per the facility's admission Record.Resident 1
had a Responsible Party (RP-a person designated to make medical and financial decisions on the
resident's behalf) listed on the admission RecordOn 8/14/25, Resident 1's clinical record was
reviewed.According to the discharge Minimum Data Set, (MDS-a clinical assessment tool), dated 7/25/25,

staff could collaborate with the residents. The DON reviewed Resident 1's care plan and stated it should
never have been developed on the day of discharge, because it would be ineffective. The DON reviewed
Resident 3's records and could not locate a discharge care plan. The DON stated since there was no
discharge care plan, there was a possibility the discharge was not safe or organized.An interview was
conducted with Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1) on 8/14/25 at 11:20 A.M. LN 2 stated discharge care plans were
important, so staff were aware of the discharge plans. LN 1 stated discharge care plans helped staff work

developed shortly after admission. According to the facility's policy, titled Transfer and Discharge, dated
