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 medical record review, staff interview, and review of the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) manual, the facility failed to develop a resident centered comprehensive care plan. This affected one (#75) resident out of five residents reviewed for comprehensive care plans.
Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #75 revealed an admission date of 04/03/24 with medical diagnoses of specified disorders of the brain, dementia, aneurysm of the ascending aorta without rupture, hydrocephalus, and diaphragmatic hernia. The medical record indicated Resident #75 discharged on 05/09/24. Review of the medical record for Resident #75 revealed an admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], which indicated Resident #75 had severe cognitive impairment and required supervision to touching assistance with eating and ambulation up to 50 feet, moderate staff assistance with toilet hygiene, bed mobility, and transfers, and maximum staff assistance with bathing. Review of the medical record for Resident #75 revealed a hospital Discharge summary dated [DATE], which indicated Resident #75 was treated for obstructive hydrocephalus status post ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt (a cerebral shunt that drains excess cerebrospinal fluid when there is an obstruction in the formal flow) placement.

Further review of the RAI manual revealed care plans are to reflect appropriate resident-specific approaches to care based on careful consideration of individual problems and causes. The deficiency is based on incidental findings discovered during the course of this complaint investigation.
