Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Clinical record review for Resident 61 revealed the facility admitted her on January 2, 2025, with diagnosis of Dementia (loss of memory, language, problem-solving, and other thinking abilities that interfere with daily life). A review of Resident 61's admission Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, a form completed at specific intervals to determine care needs) dated January 8, 2025, indicated that the facility assessed Resident 61 as having a diagnosis of dementia.

Resident 61's clinical record also had a care plan entitled, Anxiety-Cognitive, initiated on January10, 2025, that failed to address individualized person-centered approaches to address Resident 61's dementia and cognitive loss. The findings were reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator on February 12, 2025, at 12:10 PM and she confirmed that Resident 61 did not have an individualized care plan for dementia and cognitive loss. 483.40(b)(3) Dementia Treatment and Services Previously cited 3/8/2024
