(C) Discharge plans in the comprehensive care plan, as appropriate, in accordance with the requirements set forth in paragraph (c) of this section. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review , the facility failed to develop care plan for one of 12 sampled residents (Resident 10 ) when Resident 10's care plan for the use of oxygen (a colorless and odorless gas that people need to breathe) was not developed. This failure had the potential to result in the inability to identify the resident's individualized care issues and implement a person-centered care plan to address identified needs. Findings: Review of Resident 10's clinical record on 2/27/18, indicated she was admitted to the facility on 6/1/17 with diagnoses including pneumonia (PNA, an infection of the lungs FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: MG1X11 Facility ID: CA070000066 If continuation sheet 4 of 32 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

During an interview with the director of nursing (DON), on 2/27/18 at 10:01 a.m., she indicated a care plan for O2 was not developed since 6/29/17. She stated Resident 10 should have had a care plan for O2. According to the facility's undated "Nursing Care Plan" policy, it indicated the nursing process was a deliberated, problem solving approach in meeting the health care and nursing needs of patients.

Resident 18's physician's recapitulation (recap, summary) order and medication administration record (MAR) for Glipizide (medication to treat high blood sugar) did not match the original order of the medication. 2. Resident 3 physician's recap order and MAR did not have the correct strength of Dorzolamide (eye drop medication for eye disease). 3. Resident 14's stoma (opening) site documentation was not done. These failures could potentially result in incomplete or inaccurate data necessary to assess and meet the residents' needs.
