review of facility policy, resident clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility
failed to obtain a physician order and develop a comprehensive care plan for for hospice services for one of
eight residents reviewed (Resident R8).
Findings include :
Facility policy titled Clinical Manual/Social Services Manual last reviewed April 2025 revealed It is the policy
of this facility to participate in hospice care as an approach to caring for terminally ill residents that require
palliative care as opposed to providing curative care. Based on Federal guidelines, the Facility has the

information from the hospice: The most recent hospice plan of care specific to each resident (f) Hospice
physician and attending physician (if any) orders specific to each patient. v. The facility must ensure that

Resident R8 was a resident receiving hospice services (supportive services for end-stage terminal illness).
It was further reported that hospice aide, Employee E6 had offered morning care, but Resident R8 refused.
Employee E6 stated they would return in an hour to attempt to offer morning care again.
Review of Resident R8's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE].

E7, who confirmed that Resident R8 has half railings on her bed. According to her last physical therapy
discharge evaluation, which occurred on March 23, 2025, Resident R8 could benefit from the use of the
railings. Resident R8 is able to perform some movements with her upper extremities and would therefore
benefit from the use of enablers during morning care.
Review of Resident R8's clinical record revealed that there was no comprehensive care plan developed by
the facility for hospice services and the coordination of services with the contracted hospice provider or for
the use of enablers to support the resident's independence during morning care.
Interview conducted on June 11, 2025, at 10:49 a.m., with licensed nurse, Employee E5, who provided a
hospice communication binder. The binder reflected that Resident R8 had been on hospice since May 31,
2025, and that a hospice contractor's care plan was created on the same date. It was further revealed that
the hospice care plan did not include any instructions regarding the resident's use of enablers. The last
documented hospice service that was received and documented in the binder was June 9, 2025. This was
confirmed by Employee E5.
On June 11, 2025, at 10:59 a.m., an interview was conducted with charge nurse Employee E4, who
confirmed that Resident R8 had no physician order for hospice and no comprehensive care plan for
hospice
