This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) care plan was initiated to indicate Resident 1 ' s current therapeutic diet (a meal plan that controls the intake of certain foods or nutrients) ordered for nothing by mouth (NPO). This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 1 to not receive specific care and services specific to Resident 1 ' s needs in accordance to the facility ' s policy and procedure titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Planning. Findings: A review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record [AR] indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included adult failure to thrive (a decline in an adult ' s physical and mental state) and Alzheimer ' s disease (a brain disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills). A review of Resident 1 ' s History and Physical Examination (HPE, a comprehensive physician ' s note regarding the assessment of the Patient ' s health status) dated 4/26/2025, the HPE indicated Resident 1 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. A review of Resident 1 ' s Telephone Orders dated 4/24/2025, indicated an order for NPO, due to Resident 1 not being able to swallow food or medications. A review of Resident 1 ' s active Care plans, the care plans did not indicate Resident 1 was NPO. During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/30/2025 at 2:45PM with Registered Nurse (RN1) 1, Residents 1 ' s Care Plans were reviewed. RN 1 stated that Resident 1 did not have a care plan to address her NPO status. RN 1 stated that Resident 1 was NPO upon admission since Resident 1 was unable to swallow any food or liquids. RN 1 stated Resident 1 was at high risk for aspiration (food or fluids entering the airway) and that if Resident 1 received any food or fluid by mouth, the food or liquidcould enter her lungs and cause Resident 1 to choke. During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/30/2025 at 4 PM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 1 ' s Care Plans were reviewed. DON stated that Resident 1 did not have a care plan to address her NPO status. DON stated that his nursing staff should have initiated a care plan to address Resident 1 NPO status immediately to avoid Resident 1 being given any food or fluids that could potentially cause harm.
