Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, facility staff, resident and resident's representative interviews, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan to meet the needs of 1 (Resident #123) of 2 residents reviewed with a cardiac pacemaker (implanted device to treat irregular heart rhythm). The findings included: Review of the Resident #123's clinical record revealed a hospital surgical history of a cardiac pacemaker. The facility's physician admission progress note dated 4/9/25 revealed Resident #123 had a past medical history of a pacemaker. On 4/21/25, the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) documented in a progress note that Resident #89's surgical history included a pacemaker. The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #123 scored 12 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) indicative of moderate cognitive impairment. The diagnoses listed on the MDS did not include the presence of a cardiac pacemaker. Review of the care plan for Resident #123 noted the resident had alteration in cardiac function. The care plan did not document the presence of the cardiac pacemaker with goals and interventions related to the pacemaker. On 5/21/25 at 8:50 a.m., in an interview Resident #123 said he used a home monitoring device for the pacemaker. The monitoring device was not brought to the facility. The resident said the nurses did not ask about the pacemaker, and no one asked how it was monitored. On 5/22/25 11:01 a.m., during an interview the resident's spouse said the facility did not inquire about the pacemaker. She verified Resident #123 still had the cardiac pacemaker and the monitoring device was at home. The spouse said no one at the facility asked about the cardiac pacemaker or how it was being monitored. On 5/22/25 at 11:09 a.m., in an interview Unit Manager Registered Nurse (RN) Staff D said residents with a pacemaker should have regular appointments with the cardiologist. She said she would look to see if Resident #123's pacemaker was being monitored.

On 5/22/25 at 11:13 a.m., RN Staff E said she was responsible for the comprehensive assessment data and resident care planning. She said if a resident has a pacemaker, they send them to the cardiologist for regular follow ups to ensure proper functioning and battery life. RN Staff E said the facility monitors for dizziness, shortness of breath, and vital signs. She said there should be a care plan in the record with that information. She verified there was no care plan for pacemaker in the record.
Residents Affected - Few On 5/22/25 at 11:39 a.m., RN Staff D said the pacemaker was not on the hospital transfer form (Agency for Health Care Administration form 3008), and it was not listed in the diagnoses. She said they have limited information from the hospital.

Diagnoses included debility and sarcopenia (age related loss of muscle mass and strength). Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) admission assessment with a target date of 4/6/25 revealed Resident #89 scored 14 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS), indicative of intact cognition. Resident #89 required supervision or touching assistance to stand from sitting in a chair or on the side of the bed. The resident required supervision or touching assistance to walk 10 feet and partial to moderate assistance to walk at least 50 feet and make two turns. Review of the care plan initiated on 4/1/25 revealed Resident #89 was at risk for falls due to recent fall with pelvic fracture, Alzheimer's, weakness, low endurance, and decreased mobility as a result of acute and/or chronic health conditions requiring admission for care. The goal was for the resident to have decreased risk of falls utilizing assessment of the interdisciplinary team and appropriate interventions. The interventions included Physical Therapy (PT) and Occupational Therapy (OT) screen/evaluation. Review of the progress notes revealed Resident #89 sustained multiple falls since admission to the facility, on 4/8/25, 4/10/25, 4/26/25, and 4/28/25. Review of the Therapy notes revealed Resident #89 received Physical and Occupational Therapy. Resident #89 was discharged from Physical Therapy on 5/7/25 and was discharged from Occupational Therapy on 4/27/25. Further review of the clinical record revealed on 5/14/25 the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) wrote a new order for PT, OT and Speech Therapy (ST) evaluation and treatment for weakness and sarcopenia. On 5/19/25 at 5:17 p.m., observed Resident #89 in a chair in his room. In an interview, Resident #89 said he sits in the chair all day. He said he thought he should be getting more therapy. He said, My legs buckle sometimes when I walk and I lower myself to the ground. The facility calls them falls. On 5/21/25 review of the clinical record, and therapy progress notes failed to reveal documentation Resident #89 received PT, OT and ST as per the APRN order dated 5/14/25. On 5/21/25 at 10:40 a.m., in an interview the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) said he did not know Resident #89 had new orders for a therapy evaluation and treatment on 5/14/25. The DOR said he did not know the fracture follow-up included orders to continue PT. The DOR said the orders were not executed and Resident #89 did not receive PT, OT or ST services as ordered.
