The failure to provide advance directives information to the resident and/or their representative could lead to them not knowing their rights to make choices concerning health care and treatments for life sustaining measures and to ensure their wishes were honored. The findings included: On 11/16/21 a review of Resident #197's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Further review of the medical record revealed no documentation the facility had determined Resident #197's wishes related to her advance directive. Review of Resident #197's plan of care for advance directive dated 7/31/21 noted Resident #197 did not have an advance directive. Under the intervention section, the plan noted the facility would discuss advance directives with the resident and/or their representative. On 11/17/21 review of the facility's policy titled Advance Directive SS-124, effective 10/25/2018 stated upon admission, the Social Service Director (SSD) or the Business Development Coordinator would determine whether the resident had an advance directive, if not, determine whether the resident wished to establish an advance directive. On 11/17/21 at 4:16 p.m., in an interview, the Social Service Director (SSD) confirmed as part of the SSD job duties, they or a facility staff are required to interview each resident and/or their representative upon the resident admission to the facility about the resident's advance directives wishes. The SSD reviewed Resident #197's medical record and confirmed Resident #197 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The SSD said she was unable to find documentation a facility representative had interviewed Resident #197 and/or a representative related to Resident #197 wishes regarding advance directive as noted in the facility's Advance Directive policy and as documented in Resident #197's care plan for advance directive dated 7/31/21.
