15 indicating mild cognitive impairment and the resident was able to make her needs known. The resident
required partial/moderate assistance for eating and dependent assistance for ADLs (Activities of Daily

Review of the Dental Care Plan for Resident #28 documented the following: Focus: Resident with some
natural teeth loss. Resident has lower natural teeth (some missing pieces) (written 6/19/2023; reviewed and
updated); Goals: Resident will not have any s/s (signs/symptoms) of discomfort/complications related to

conducted the assessment and the assessment is incorrect. It is a coding error. The resident does have
teeth. She is not edentulous. The care plan reflects that she has teeth. We are going to do a modification of
the MDS.
