This affected five residents (#49, #52, #60 , #67, and #72) out of 11 residents reviewed for physical environment. The facility census was 73. Findings include:1. Review of the medical record for Resident #49 revealed an admission date of 01/09/26. Diagnoses included unspecified mental disorder due to known physiological condition, difficulty walking not elsewhere classified, anxiety disorder, impulsive disorder, major depression recurrent, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.Further review of Resident #49's medical record revealed the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 01/18/26, which indicated the resident was cognitively intact.
