Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to develop baseline care plan summaries with the resident's initial goals, summary of medications, dietary instructions, and services and treatments, to 4 of 4 sampled residents, to ensure coordination of care with the resident and or resident representative (Resident #74, #173, #12, and #20). This failure had the potential to affect all newly admitted residents as managerial staff reported they did not document their Meet and Greet meetings, where they review the baseline care plans with the residents and families. The findings included: Review of the record revealed Resident #74 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a risk for falls. Further review of the record lacked any documented evidence the baseline care plan summary or any other initial care and services was discussed with or provided to the resident and or the resident's representative. Resident #74 had subsequent falls without injuries on 09/20/22, 09/21/22, and 09/23/22. Review of the records for Resident #173 who was admitted on [DATE] and was at risk for falls, Resident #20 who was admitted on [DATE] and was at risk for falls, and Resident #12 who was admitted on [DATE] with an open wound, also lacked any documented evidence of the discussion or provision of the baseline care plan summaries. During an interview on 10/03/22 at 9:21 AM, Resident #12 voiced she had not been involved in any type of care plan meeting and was not informed of the treatment plans. During an interview on 10/05/22 at 10:55 AM, when asked about the baseline care plan summaries and additional initial treatment plans to the resident and or resident's representative, the admission Director/Social Services Director explained it is completed with their Meet and Greet meetings, done about 3 days after admission. When asked if the discussion and provision of the baseline care plan summary and initial treatment orders to the resident is documented anywhere, the admission Director and Administrator both stated it is not documented.
