Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on clinical record review and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to develop
person-centered care plans that addressed a resident's medical needs and prescribed medication therapy
for one resident out of 17 sampled residents (Resident 13).
Findings include:
A review of the clinical record revealed Resident 13 was admitted to the facility April 29, 2024, with
diagnoses of type two diabetes (a condition from insufficient production of insulin causing high blood

clumps in the skin or lymph nodes that result in dry cough and shortness of breath), and long-term use of
anticoagulants (blood thinning medication) and insulin (injectable medication to treat diabetes).

A review of Resident 13's care plan, conducted during the survey ending May 23, 2024, revealed that the
resident's comprehensive care plan did not include the resident's medical condition, type two diabetes and
sarcoidosis, and the necessary care and services needed to manage those conditions and failed to identify
the resident's daily insulin use for diabetes and interventions to monitor for signs and symptoms of hypo or
hyperglycemia. The resident's plan of care failed to identify the resident's anticoagulant therapy and
