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 observation, interview, and record review 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, mental and psychosocial needs that were identified in the comprehensive assessment for 2 of 3 residents (Residents #1 and #2) reviewed for care plans. 1.The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's care plan reflected he was a 2 person assist for toileting. 2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #2's care plan reflected he was a 2 person assist for toileting. These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving the necessary care and services. Findings include: 1.Record review of Resident #1's admission record, dated 05/15/25, reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE], and an initial admit date of 03/08/25. Pertinent diagnoses included muscle weakness, lack of coordination, and difficulty in walking. Record review of Resident #1's 5-day MDS assessment dated [DATE], reflected a BIMS score of 06, which indicated his cognition as severely impaired. Further review reflected a functional limitation in range of motion due to impairment on both sides of his lower extremities, and dependent (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) for toileting. Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 05/06/25, reflected a focus of ADL self-care performance deficit r/t weakness . Care plan did not indicate if he was a 1 or 2 person assist for toileting. Record review of Resident #1's [NAME] report (a kiosk CNAs use to identify if a resident is a 1 or 2 person assist and enter their ADLs for the day) dated 05/14/25 did not reflect a task for toileting. 2.Record review of Resident #2's admission record, dated 05/15/25, reflected an [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE], and an initial admit date of 08/06/24. His relevant diagnoses included dementia (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning), Alzheimer's Disease (a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions), and sciatica- right side ( pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, which runs down one or both legs from the lower back). Record review of Resident #2's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected that a brief interview for mental status should not be conducted due to resident rarely/never being understood. Further review reflected he had a functional limitation in range of motion due to upper and lower extremities and dependent (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) for roll left to right (the ability to roll from lying on back to left and right side and return to lying on back on the bed). For the task of toilet transfer he was coded as not attempted due to medical condition or safety concerns. Record review of Resident #2's quarterly care plan dated 03/11/25 reflected he had a focus of ADL self-care performance deficit r/t weakness, sciatica to right side, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. His interventions failed to indicate if he was a 1 or 2 person assist for toileting. Record review of Resident #2's [NAME] report dated 05/14/25 failed to reflect if he was a 1 or 2 person assist for toileting. An observation and interview on 05/14/25 at 9:17 a.m., CNA A said Resident #1 and Resident #2 were total bed bound residents who required a 2 person assist for toileting. CNA A said if a CNA needed to check if a resident required a 1 or 2 person assist on their ADLs, they would check the resident's [NAME] report. She was observed checking Resident #1 and Resident #2's [NAME] report and said it did not indicate if they were a 1 or 2 person assist for toileting. CNA A said she had cared for Resident #1 and Resident #2 since they had been admitted and knew they both were a 2 person assist for toileting. She was observed as she checked Resident #1's [NAME] report and stated his report did not have the ADL of toileting listed. CNA A said Resident #2's [NAME] report had his ADL of toileting listed but did not indicate if he was a 1 or 2 person assist for this specific task. CNA A said if a resident's [NAME] report failed to indicate the ADL of toileting and did not indicate if they were a 1 or 2 person assist, a CNA would not know how to provide the ADL of toileting. An interview with MDS-RN on 05/14/25 at 9:30 a.m. said the information listed on a resident's care plan was from what was listed on their MDS assessment. She said both Resident #1 and Resident #2 were considered dependent for all their ADLs which meant, both required a 2 person assist for toileting. She said their care plans did not reflect they were a were a 2 person assist for toileting and neither did their [NAME] report. She said a resident's [NAME] report reflected what was on their care plan. She said she had failed to care plan Resident #1 and Resident #2 were a two person assist for toileting. MDS-RN was not able to say if there were any negative outcomes to Resident #1 and/or Resident #2 not having their care plan indicate if they were a 1 or 2 person assist for toileting, she said that was a question for the DON. An interview on 05/14/25 at 10:03 am, the DON said Resident #1 and Resident #2 were both bed bound residents who required a 2 person assist for their ADL of toileting. The DON said the information listed on a resident's [NAME] report, was what was on their care plan. She said there were no negative outcome for Resident #1 and Resident #2 for not having their task of toileting on their care plans/[NAME] report because the CNAs assigned to their hall were tenured and had worked with both Resident #1 and Resident #2 since they had been admitted .
