F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 interview and record the facility failed to review and revised the person-centered comprehensive care plan for 1 (Resident #22) of 5 residents reviewed for comprehensive care plan revisions.The facility failed to update Resident #22's care plan to reflect the status of Resident #22's NPO status. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving the appropriate care and interventions they need. Record review of Resident #22's face sheet dated 2/26/2026 revealed a [AGE] year old male admitted to the facility originally on 8/7/2024 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Parkinson's Disease (a progressive movement disorder of the nervous system that worsens over time), Dysphagia Oropharyngeal phase (the inability to swallow food or drink), and Unspecified Dementia (a decline in cognitive function affecting memory, thinking, behavior, and the ability to perform everyday activities).Record review of Resident #22's Order Summary dated 2/26/2026 revealed a dietary order of a NPO diet with a start date of 2/18/2026. Resident #22 had a current order of Jevity 1.5 ml at 69 ml per hour via a gastrostomy tube (a feeding tube that goes through the skin of the belly into the stomach for feedings) stationary pump. Record review of Resident #22's most recent comprehensive care plan obtained 2/25/2026 revealed that Resident #22 was at risk for aspiration (when food, liquid, or other material accidentally gets into your windpipe and lungs) and listed interventions that included monitoring oral intake and reporting to the MD as needed for signs and symptoms of aspiration. Additionally, interventions included to encourage Resident #22's intake of nutritional supplements between meals. Record review of a nursing progress note dated 2/17/2026 revealed that Resident #22 was readmitted to facility and was NPO. Interview with the MDS nurse on 2/25/2026 at 11:59 am revealed she was responsible for all resident care plans. The MDS nurse stated that Resident #22's care plan did not accurately reflect the care needed that Resident #22 required. The MDS nurse stated that the entire facility required new care plans due to the new software system and that it was a heavy load. The MDS nurse stated that Resident #22's care plan did not reflect the recent change to NPO that was given after Resident #22's most recent hospitalization. The MDS stated that the risk of not having a care plan that reflected the current needs of the residents could lead to missed services and interventions that could lead to a resident not receiving the appropriate care they need. Interview with ADON on 2/26/2026 at 9:15 am revealed that she was not responsible for care plans and stated the MDS nurse was responsible for creating and updating care plans. Interview with the DON on 2/26/2026 at 1:01 pm revealed that she did not know too much about care plans nor does she create or revise them. The DON stated the MDS nurse was responsible for updating care plans to reflect any significant changes in the care of the residents. Record review of the facility policy statement, undated, and titled Comprehensive Assessments revealed in part. assessments are used to develop, review and revise the resident's comprehensive care plan. The facility policy statement did not specifically address the revision of comprehensive care plans.

The ADON stated that a resident's immunization status should be listed in the immunization tab of the electronic record but sometimes it was in the notes section. The ADON stated that all residents were offered immunizations for influenza, pneumococcal, and covid on admission. The ADON stated that the facility had an influenza vaccination event that ran from October 2025 to November 2025. The ADON stated that she was working on a pneumococcal vaccination event for the residents. The ADON states the events were done because the facility didn't stock the influenza or pneumococcal vaccines, but the facility could order the vaccines as needed. When asked if there was a specific number that was needed to have a vaccination event occur, the ADON did not provide a number. The ADON was asked to provide documentation of offering, administration or refusal of the influenza and pneumococcal vaccines for Residents#12, Resident #7, Resident #39, Resident #2, and Resident# 5, but stated she was unable to locate the information. The ADON stated the facility went through a change of software in April of 2025 and resident data crossed over completely.
