For Resident 1 the facility failed to: Residents Affected - Few 1.Provide assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) on 11/11/22. 2.Document nursing services that were provided to Resident 1 on 11/11/22 from 7 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. These deficient practices resulted in incomplete and inaccurate medical record for Resident 1. Findings: During a review of the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 11/11/22 with diagnoses including respiratory failure (impaired gas exchange between the lungs (breathing organ) and the blood) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing). During a review of Resident 1's admission Assessment indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 11/11/22 at 7 p.m. The Assessment indicated Resident 1 was confused. Resident 1 was dependent with eating/nutrition, personal hygiene and grooming. Resident 1 was incontinent of bowel and bladder.

RNS 1 stated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 11/11/22 at 7 p.m. RNS 1 stated the nurses should make rounds at least every two to three hours, check on how Resident 1 was doing and make sure Resident 1 was okay . RNS 1 stated she was unable to find documentation that the nurses made their rounds. RNS 1 stated it is important to document what .we did for the patient (Resident 1). RNS 1 stated the documentation communicates how Resident 1 was doing during the shift. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 6/12/25 at 1:26 p.m., Resident 1's Documentation Survey Report (record of ADLs and assistance provided to residents) for 11/22 was reviewed with the director of staff development (DSD). DSD stated she was unable to find documentation that the certified nursing assistant (CNA) provided care to Resident 1. DSD stated even if Resident 1 was a new admit on 11/11/22, the CNA should do frequent rounds to find out how Resident 1 was doing. DSD stated the CNA should document what was done for the patient that included if Resident 1 had voided or was turned.
