Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records and the Resident Assessment Instrument and staff interview, it was determined
the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set Assessments (MDS - a federally mandated standardized
assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) accurately reflected the status of one
resident out of 22 sampled (Resident 49).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 49 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnosis to include Alzheimer's disease (a progressive brain disease that destroys memory and other
important mental functions), and protein-calorie malnutrition (a condition caused by not getting enough
calories or the right amount of protein and nutrients needed for health).
Further review of Resident 49's clinical record revealed the resident was currently receiving hospice
services (specialized medical service that focuses on comfort and quality of life for people with a terminal
illness).
A review of Resident 49's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed in Section O, Special
Treatments K. Hospice Care, that the resident was not receiving Hospice Care.
An interview with the Director of Nursing on April 17, 2025, at 10:40 AM confirmed the resident was
receiving Hospice Care during the period reviewed for the Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], and
the resident's MDS Assessment was inaccurate with respect to Hospice Care.

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of clinical records and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to review and revise the
resident's care plan to reflect a significant change in condition related to weight loss for one of 22 residents
sampled (Resident 91).
Findings include:
Review of the clinical record revealed Resident 91 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included dementia (a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities that interfere
with daily functioning).
A review of the resident's weight history showed that on March 18, 2025, Resident 91 weighed 138.6
pounds. This represented an 8.5% loss of body weight over the prior 90 days.
A nutrition progress note dated March 18, 2025, documented the registered dietitian had continued to
implement nutritional interventions to address the resident's weight loss. However, review of the resident's
care plan revealed the most recent revision was dated December 13, 2023, and stated the resident was at
nutritional risk related to kidney disease, hypertension, and a history of weight fluctuations.
Upon review during the survey conducted April 15-18, 2025, there was no documented evidence that the
resident's care plan had been reviewed or revised to reflect the significant weight loss identified on March
18, 2025. There were no updates to existing interventions or additions of new interventions addressing the
change in nutritional status or ongoing monitoring of weight.
During an interview conducted on April 17, 2025, at 2:30 PM, the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed
the facility failed to update Resident 91's care plan to reflect the resident's current weight status and
associated needs. The Administrator acknowledged that the resident's plan of care should have been
reviewed and revised in response to the noted weight loss.
