Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Allow resident to participate in the development and implementation of his or her person-centered plan of
care.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of select facility policy, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed
to afford a resident and their designated representative the right to participate in the development of the
resident's plan of care for one resident out of seven residents sampled (Resident 3).
Findings include:
A review of the facility policy titled, Resident Participation- Assessment/Care Plans, last revised February
2021, revealed the resident and his or her representative are encouraged to participate in the resident's
assessment and in the development and implementation of the resident's care plan. Furthermore, the policy
indicated facility staff support and encourage resident and resident representative participation in the care
planning process by providing sufficient notice in advance of the care plan meeting and planning for
enough time for exchange of information and decision-making. The social services director or designee is
responsible for notifying the resident and representative and for maintaining records of such notices.
A clinical record review revealed Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included pneumonia (a lung infection) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD is a condition
caused by damage to the airways or other parts of the lung that blocks airflow and makes it hard to
breathe).
A multidisciplinary care conference form dated August 30, 2024, revealed Resident 3's family member is
involved in resident care and visits with resident at the facility.
Resident 3's admission record form indicated the resident has identified a family member as his resident
representative.
A review of an admission Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-a federally mandated standardized
assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated September 4, 2024, revealed that
Resident 3 is severely cognitively impaired with a BIMS score of 06 (Brief Interview for Mental Status- a tool
within the Cognitive Section of the MDS that is used to assess the resident's attention, orientation, and
ability to register and recall new information; a score of 00-07 indicates severe cognitive impairment).
A clinical record review revealed no documented evidence that Resident 3 or Resident 3's representative
were invited to participate in or attended his November 2024 quarterly interdisciplinary care plan meeting.
