Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on 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

were identified in the comprehensive assessment for 1 of 19 residents (Resident #48) reviewed for care
plans.

anxiety, or fear), and chronic pain syndrome( a condition in which pain can last for weeks or longer).

During an interview with the Administrator on 06/06/24 at 4:45 pm, he stated having the food labeled and
dated was important to determine the food expiration time period. He stated having a working temperature
gauge on the dish machine was important for sanitation purposes.

nourishment rooms were discussed along with the lack of cleaning of the refrigerators. The freezer part of
