F 0656 could cause misinformed communication with Resident #54. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Interview on 08/29/23 at 2:25 pm with CNA G and CNA H revealed Resident #54 did have slurred and unclear speech but they were able to understand her because they had assisted her with care for a long time and they understood her when she verbalized her needs to them. CNA G and CNA H said if they didn't understand sometimes, they would ask her to repeat her words. Residents Affected - Few Both CNA G and CNA H staff said that if a new staff would come and provide her with care, they might not be able to understand her. Sometimes other staff from other halls would come to replace them if they were out for some reason. Interview on 08/29/23 at 2:30 pm with LVN E revealed the CNAs that worked regularly with the resident understood Resident #54 better than anyone. LVN E said Resident #54 did have slurred speech and was difficult to understand what she was saying. If a new staff came to assist Resident #54, they would have trouble understanding her slurred speech. The care plans are developed to provide interventions to address the concern. Interview on 08/31/23 at 9:57 am with the DON revealed care plans needed to be developed and interventions implemented to address areas of care concerns. The DON said not developing care plans with interventions for focused areas of concern would place residents at risk of not receiving the necessary care for their individual needs. The IDT team would meet to address areas of concerns as assessed by their MDS assessment. It was his responsibility to ensure the care plans needed to be developed and implemented as needed based on the assessments. The DON said he did not know why the care plan for Resident'#54's focus area of slurred speech had not been developed. Record review of the facility policy titled Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Planning dated January 2022 reflected The facility IDT will develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident within seven (7) days of completion of the Resident Minimum Data Set (MDS) and will include resident's needs identified in the comprehensive assessment, any specialized services as a result of PASARR recommendation, and residents goals and desired outcomes, preferences for future discharge and discharge plans. The resident's comprehensive plan of care will be reviewed and/or revised by the IDT after each assessment, including both the comprehensive and quarterly review assessments.
