Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
Based on review of facility policies and residents' clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to review and revise care plans for two of five residents reviewed
(Residents 2, 4).
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding care plans, dated February 22, 2024, indicated that the comprehensive,
person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's
physical, psychological and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident.
Assessments of residents are ongoing and care plans are revised as information about the residents and
the resident's conditions change.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 2, dated August 9, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively impaired,
required assistance with care needs, had a weight gain, and had diagnoses that included anemia (blood
disorder in which the blood has a reduced ability to carry oxygen) and gastroesophageal reflux disorder (a
digestive disorder that causes heartburn and aid indigestion).
Physician's orders for Resident 2, dated September 15, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive
a carbohydrate-controlled diet, mechanical soft texture diet and be provided large/double portions and no
eggs. A physician's order, dated September 16, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive Ensure
with meals.
There was no documented evidence that Resident 2's nutrition care plan reflected his specialized diet,
large/double portions, preference for no eggs, and his order to receive Ensure.
A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 4, dated August 16, 2024, revealed that the resident was
cognitively impaired, was usually understood and usually able to understand others, required assistance
with some care needs, and had a diagnosis of that included dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
Physician's orders for Resident 4, dated August 28, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive a no
added salt, regular texture diet.
Observations during the facility tour on September 18, 2024, at 9:07 a.m. revealed that Resident 4 did not
have teeth and did not have dentures in. The resident indicated that she had upper and lower dentures and
that they were in the bathroom. Observations at that time revealed that the resident's upper and lower
dentures were in the resident's bathroom soaking in a denture cup.
