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 that describes the services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental and psychosocial well-being for 1 of 8 residents (Resident #18) reviewed for care plans. The facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan that included Resident #18's requirement of using a mechanical lift to transfer. This failure could place residents at risk of not having individual needs met and cause residents not to receive needed services. Findings: Record review of a facility face sheet dated 12/2/24 for Resident #18 reflected that he was an [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included parkinsonism (a clinical syndrome characterized by tremor, bradykinesia (slowed movements), rigidity, and postural instability), hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side (weakness/paralysis to one side of body following a stroke), and Alzheimer's. Record review of a quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] for Resident #18 reflected that he had a BIMS score of 6, which indicated that he had severely impaired cognition.

The lift sling was a blue mesh in color with light pink spots observed in the mesh and the label was unreadable. Record review of a comprehensive care plan dated 5/16/24 for Resident #18 reflected an alteration in ADL function and unsteady gait requiring X2 staff assist for transfers. The care plan did not address the use of a mechanical lift. During an interview on 12/4/24 at 4:40 pm DON said the MDS nurse was responsible for care plans but she was unavailable today. She said if a resident required a mechanical lift transfer and it was not properly care planned, staff may not know, and the resident could be at risk for falls and injuries. During an interview on 12/4/24 at 4:50 pm Administrator said the care plans should address resident's needs. She said a resident could be at risk of not receiving the proper assistance. She said going forward, she would expect staff to double check care plans to ensure needed services were care planned.
