developed the care plan based on the triggered areas and initial assessments. MDS E said they completed
the smoking assessment upon admission, if the resident told them they smoked or if based on their history
they smoked. MDS E said if the resident did not voice that they smoked or wanted to smoke, they did not
complete the assessment. MDS E said Resident #1 did not smoke when he was first admitted and he
started smoking recently in April 2025. MDS E said Resident #2 did not smoke when he was first admitted
and they did the smoking assessment for him in February 2025. MDS E said she was unsure of when the
care plans were implemented regarding smoking for Resident #1 and Resident #2. MDS E said whoever
completed the smoking assessments could have developed the care plan for smoking, however, the team
should have followed up to ensure smoking was properly care planned.

said discharge plans should have been care planned. The DON said Resident #2 had been admitted since
January 2025 and discharge plans were not care planned. The DON said she would conduct an audit on all
the care plans regarding discharge plans. The DON said the team would have ensured to implement the
smoking care plan and the discharge care plan. The DON said it was important for the care plan to be
developed and implemented accurately so staff knew how to care for the residents. The DON said there

smoking until 05/20/25. The ADM said she was going to have the social worker develop a binder with the
smoking policy, guidelines, and information for the residents that smoked. The ADM said discharge

plan meeting regarding his discharge. The ADM said Resident #2 was going to be at the facility long term.
