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 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, and mental and psychosocial needs that were identified in the comprehensive assessment for 2 of 5 residents (Resident #1 and Resident #2) reviewed for comprehensive care plans. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 and Resident #2's comprehensive care plans included all care areas triggered on their assessments. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving care and services specific to their needs. Findings include: 1. Record review of Resident #1's admission face sheet, dated 08/12/2025, revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included respiratory failure (occurs when the lungs can't properly exchanges), cerebral infarction (in a pathological process that results in an area of necrotic tissue in the brain), sepsis (immune response triggered by an infection), metabolic encephalopathy (a change in brain function), acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (a medical condition where the lungs cannot adequately oxygenate the blood), Diabetes Mellitus (high blood sugar), hypertension (high blood pressure) narcolepsy (chronic sleep disorder), chronic congestive heart failure (a condition where the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should), right AKA amputation (above the knee amputation). Record review of Resident #1's admission MDS, dated [DATE], revealed Resident #1 was coded as severely impaired for cognition skills for decision making, dependent on staff for ADL care, has a Foley catheter and frequently incontinent of bowel. Resident #1 was triggered for cognition, incontinence, pressure sore, activities, dehydration, feeding tube, psychosocial well-being, communication, nutrition and return to the community. Record review of the care plan, initiated 6/06/2025, revealed the care plan did not addressed cognition, activities, communication and returning to the community. 2. Record review of Resident #2's admission face sheet, dated 08/12/2025, revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included anemia (not having sufficient health red cells), neurogenic bladder (lack of bladder control), aphasia (a language disorder that affect communication), Parkinson (disorder of the central nervous system that control movements), dehydration (loss of body fluid cause by illness), hypokalemia (a blood level that is below normal in potassium), malnutrition (when the body lacks nutrients), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing foods or liquids), fracture (a break in bone), urinary tract infection (infection of the bladder), cognitive deficit (a brain function deficit that impact a person's ability to think learn and remember), lack of coordination (impaired balance), muscle weakness (decreased strength in the muscles), schizophrenia (disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel and behave clearly) and falls. Record review of Resident #2's admission MDS, dated [DATE], revealed Resident #2 had a BIMS score of 03, which indicated she was severely impaired for cognition skills for decision making, dependent on staff for ADL care, has a Foley catheter and always (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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

CNA A failed to ensure two-person assistance was used to provide care to CR #1, who required total assistance with all ADLs, and resulted in CR#1 sliding out of bed to the floor. The noncompliance was identified as PNC. The IJ began on 08/11/2025 and ended on 08/12/2025. The facility had corrected the noncompliance before the survey began. This failure could place residents at risk of experiencing serious injury, pain, hospitalization and death. Findings include: Record review of CR#1's face sheet, dated 08/08/2025, revealed a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (a long-term condition in which the body has trouble controlling blood sugar and using it for energy), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), respiratory failure (when the lungs cant properly exchange gases causing abnormal level of carbon dioxide or oxygen in the blood), cerebral infarction (brain tissue dies due to lack of blood supply), unspecified hypoxia (low oxygen in the blood), and hypertension (high blood pressure), Constipation (difficultly passing stool) vitamin deficiency (too little of one or more of the essential vitamins in the body), gastroesophageal reflux disease (a digestive disease in which the stomach acid or bile irritates the food pipe lining), feeding tube (a device that delivers liquid nutrition directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube), anticoagulant therapy (treatment that prevents or reduces blood clotting), tracheostomy (a surgical procedure that creates an opening in the wind pipe to help with breathing) and need assistance with personal care. Record review of CR#1's baseline care plan, dated 8/5/2024, revealed he was assessed as dependent on staff for all areas of ADL's. Record review of CR#1's revised care plan, dated 8/5/2025, revealed the following areas of concern: Focus: ADL Self Care Deficits: CR#1's has ADL selfcare deficits and is at risk for further decline in ADL functioning and injury AEB decline physical function.Goal: CR#1 will be well dressed, groomed, clean, dignity will be maintained and will have no further decline in ADL functioning or injury the next 90 daysIntervention: Anticipate needs - provide prompt assistance.
