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 interview and record review, the facility failed to follow their comprehensive care plan policy by failing to develop a person centered care plan for a resident to include measurable objectives and timeframes to meet the resident's medical and nursing needs that were identified in the comprehensive assessment for Anemia, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, and Hyperlipidemia for one (R20) resident of 54 residents reviewed for care plans.Findings include:R20 is [AGE] years of age.

V21 said, R20 has Anemia, Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, and Elevated Cholesterol. He's taking medication for them. He's on Metformin for his diabetes, Carvedilol for hypertension, and Atorvastatin for cholesterol. I don't see it on his care plan. He should have a care plan so the caregiver knows what's going on and how to give care for what his diagnosis are and what care he should be receiving.R20's admission comprehensive assessment section I active diagnoses dated 10/02/2025 documents his medical conditions in part as Anemia, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, and Hyperlipidemia.R20's admission [DATE] and current January 2026 care plans do not document his medical conditions of Anemia, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, hypertension, and Hyperlipidemia.R20's medication administration record documents the following physician ordered medications to be administered- Sodium Chloride tablet 1 gram by mouth three times a day related to anemia start date 9/26/2025.

These medications were administered by nursing staff as prescribed by the physician from 9/26/25 through 01/29/2026.The revised 11/17/17 comprehensive care plan policy states in part:Purpose: To develop a comprehensive care plan that directs the care team and incorporates the resident's goals, preferences, and services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.
