Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled resident's (Resident 1) care plans (a document that summarizes a resident's needs, goals, and care/treatment) were implemented by failing to place Resident 1's hearing aids (a small electronic medical device to assist with hearing loss) and eyeglasses on Resident 1 while Resident 1 was out of bed as indicated in the care plan. This deficient practice had the potential to not meet the resident's medical needs and maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental and psychosocial well-being.Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated that the facility admitted Resident 1 on 5/1/2022 and readmitted the resident on 12/11/2025, with diagnoses that included metabolic encephalopathy (underlying systemic conditions or substances that disrupt the brain's chemical balance, leading to brain dysfunction), urinary tract infection (UTI- an infection in the bladder [a hollow, muscular organ that stores urine] or urinary tract [the body's drainage system designed to produce, store, and remove urine]), hearing loss, and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities). During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P-a comprehensive assessment of a resident's medical condition) dated 12/11/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 can make needs known but cannot make medical decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool) dated 12/15/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1's cognition (ability to thank and make decisions) was severely impaired. The MDS further indicated Resident 1 required maximal assistance from staff with eating, oral hygiene and personal hygiene and dependent on staff for toileting and showering. During a review of Resident 1's care plan for, Impaired visual function, revised 1/6/2026, the care plan indicated interventions to remind the resident to wear glasses when up and ensure the resident is wearing glasses which are clean, free from scratch and in good repair. During a review of Resident 1's care plan for, Communication problems related to bilateral hearing loss, revised 1/7/2026, the care plan indicated an intervention that the resident requires hearing aids to communicate and to ensure availability and functioning of adaptive communication equipment.During an observation on 2/26/2026 at 1:45 p.m., observed Resident 1 sitting in a wheelchair in the lobby of the facility and observed not to be wearing eyeglasses or hearing aids. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/26/2026 at 1:50 p.m., with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), observed Resident 1 sitting in a wheelchair in the lobby of the facility without eyeglasses or hearing aids in place. The ADON stated that when Resident 1 is out of bed Resident 1 should be wearing eyeglasses and hearing aids. During an interview on 2/26/2026 at 2:45 p.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), LVN 1 stated that Resident 1 should be wearing hearing aids and eyeglasses when out of bed. LVN 1 stated that Resident 1's hearing aids are not currently charged and not available for Resident 1 to wear. LVN 1 stated that the plan of care for Resident 1 is to wear hearing aids and eyeglasses when out of bed. During an interview on 2/27/2026 at 2:40 p.m., with the facility Administrator (ADM), the ADM confirmed by stating that
