She stated all residents had their comprehensive care plans completed within the first 21 days in the facility. The Lead MDS/Care Plan Coordinator explained the facility either hand-delivered care plan invitation meeting letters to residents who were alert and oriented, or mailed the letters to the families of residents who were cognitively impaired. She stated she met with resident #94 on 4/12/22 and he gave her permission to discuss his care plans with his neighbor as his father was not available. The Lead MDS/Care Plan Coordinator reviewed documentation in her office and was unable to find a copy of the care plan meeting invitation letter for resident #94. She provided a Care Plan Attendance Log form dated 4/12/22 which showed signatures for meeting attendees that included herself, the Unit Manager, Therapy Manager, Social Services and Certified Dietary Manager. She confirmed the sections for the resident and family attendance were left blank, and there was no documentation on the form to show resident #94 was informed about his plan of care or that the resident/family was invited.

The Lead MDS/Care Plan Coordinator did not respond when asked why the care plan meeting was not held by phone, or at a later date when the resident was off isolation precautions. She could not explain why she was able to enter the resident's room, but the other members of the IDT could not do so. Residents Affected - Few Review of the facility's Policies and Procedures Care Plan Conference revised on 2/18/19 revealed staff were responsible for assisting residents to engage in the care planning process. The document indicated a copy of the care plan meeting notification letter would be retained in the medical record. The policy indicated that care plan meeting should be documented in the progress notes and should include a summary of the meeting and attendees including a licensed nurse and the nurse's aid and a member of dietary staff, social service representative and to the extent practicable, the participation of the resident and the resident's representative(s). On 5/12/22 at 2:26 PM, the Lead MDS/Care Plan Coordinator validated the facility's policy required inclusion of residents' direct care aides in the IDT and documentation if the nurses' aide was not available. She stated the facility did not include nurses' aides in care plan meetings. However, the Lead MDS/Care Plan Coordinator confirmed input from nurses' aides was important as they spent more time with residents than any other member of the IDT. 105868 Page 4 of 4
