Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights, that included measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial need that were identified in the comprehensive assessment for 2 of 6 residents (Resident #18 and Resident #46) reviewed for comprehensive person-centered care plans.1.The facility failed to ensure Resident #46's care plan included his code status of full code.2.The facility failed to ensure Resident #18's care plan included she was a 2 person assist for ADLs.These deficient practices could place residents at risk of not being provided with the necessary care or services and not having personalized plans developed to address their specific needs.The findings included:1.Record review of Resident #46's admission record dated [DATE], reflected a [AGE] year-old male with an admit date of [DATE]. His relevant diagnoses included myasthenia gravis with (acute) exacerbation (chronic autoimmune disorder causing fluctuating weakness of voluntary muscles), acute respiratory failure (a life-threatening emergency occurring when the lungs cannot properly oxygenate the blood or remove carbon dioxide), tracheostomy ( a surgical procedure creating an opening (stoma) in the neck into the trachea), and dependence on respirator (a serious, chronic, or acute state where a person cannot sustain spontaneous breathing on their own).Record review of Resident #46's Medicare 5-day MDS assessment dated [DATE], reflected a BIMS score of 14, which indicated his cognition was intact. Record review of Resident #46's comprehensive care plan dated [DATE], did not reflect his code status of full code.Record review of Resident #46's order summary reflected an active order of full code: use AED (automated external defibrillator) with CPR during sudden cardiac arrest effective [DATE].In an observation and interview on [DATE] at 3:42 p.m., RN E said Resident #46 had been admitted on [DATE] and had a code status of full code. He was observed as he reviewed Resident #46's electronic medical record and said his profile reflected he was a full code. RN E said he also had an order (effective [DATE]) which reflected he was a full code. RN E said his code status was not reflected on his care plan. He said there would be no negative outcomes to Resident #46 for not having his code status reflected on his care plan because nursing staff checked a resident's profile and order in case of an emergency. In an interview on [DATE] at 3:38 p.m., MDS D said Resident #46 had been admitted on [DATE]. She said his profile reflected a code status of full code and had an active order effective [DATE]. MDS D said Resident's code status had not been included in his care plan. MDS D said there was no negative outcomes to Resident #46 because if case of an emergency, nursing staff would check his profile and order. She said even though nursing staff would not check a resident's care plan in case of an emergency, a resident's code status needed to be reflected on their care plan. In an interview on [DATE] at 3:02 p.m., the DON said a resident's code status needed to be reflected on their profile, have an order, and an Out-of-hospital DNR form if they opted to have a code status of DNR. He said there were no negative outcomes to Resident #46 if his code status had not been included on his care plan because in case of an emergency, nursing staff would check his profile and order(s). The DON said, even though nursing staff would not check a resident's care plan in case of an emergency, code status needed to be reflected on their care plan. 2.

Record review of Resident #18's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], reflected a BIMS score of 5, which indicated her cognition was severely impaired. Resident #18 had been coded as dependent for her functional abilities which included oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, upper/lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, personal hygiene, roll left and right, sit to lying, lying to sitting on side of bed, sit to stand, and chair/bed-to-chair transfer. A code of dependent indicated helper does all of the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity. Or the assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity.Record review of Resident #18's quarterly care plan dated [DATE], reflected a focus of [Resident #18] has ADL self-care performance deficit r/t limited mobility and generalized weakness. Date initiated [DATE] Interventions for toilet use, transfer (chair/bed to chair transfer, toilet transfer), bed mobility (roll left/right, sit to lying, lying to sitting on side of bed), dressing (lower/upper body dressing, putting on taking off footwear), and transfer (chair/bed to chair transfer, toiler transfer) required a 1 person assist.In an interview on [DATE] at 8:03 a.m., CNA F said CNA F said she had provided care to Resident #18 while she was in the memory unit. She said Resident #18 required a 1 person assist with her ADLs; however, during episodes of aggression, she required a 2 person assist. She said if she needed to check or verify what a Resident #18's level of assistance, she would check her electronic medical record or ask the charge nurse. In an observation and interview on [DATE] at 9:45 a.m., MDS D said Resident #18's most recent MDS assessment (dated [DATE]) reflected she was dependent on all ADLs except for eating. She was observed as she reviewed Resident #18's electronic medical record/care plan and said her care plan indicated she was a 1 person assist for all ADLs with the exception of eating. MDS D said if Resident #18's MDS had her coded as dependent on ADLs then her care plan should have reflected a 2 person assist for ADLs also. MDS D said a negative outcome to Resident #18 not having her care plan match the level of care her MDS assessment reflected would be she would not receive the appropriate level of care for her ADLs. In an interview on [DATE] at 3:02 p.m., the DON said a resident's care plan should reflect the same level of care their MDS assessment reflected. He said a negative outcome to Resident #18 not having the correct level of care on her care plan would be she would not receive the appropriate level of care for her ADLs. Record review of the facility's Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Planning policy revised on 04/2025 reflected:Policy It is the policy of this facility that the interdisciplinary team (IDT) shall develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment.Procedure:4. the facility IDT will develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered, culturally competent, and trauma-informed care plan for each resident within 7 day of completion of the MDS and will include resident's needs identified in the comprehensive assessment.the resident's goals and desired outcomes.
