These failures posed the risk for Resident 1 not to receive the necessary treatment and services to meet Resident 1's individualized care needs and for Resident 1 to potentially suffer harm due to incorrectly rendered care.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Baseline Care Plan revised 12/29/22, showed the facility will develop and implement a baseline care plan within 48 hours of a resident's admission and will include the minimum health care information necessary to properly care for a resident and meets professional standards of practice. The P&P also showed interventions shall be initiated to address the resident's special needs such as wound care and dietary orders. Closed medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 2/12/26. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged from the facility on 2/2/26.

Review of Resident 1's baseline care plan initiated on 1/29/26, did not show a care plan regarding pressure injuries or wounds was developed or initiated. On 2/12/26 at 1330 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 1 was conducted with the IP. The IP stated the purpose of a care plan was for communication. The IP stated the purpose of a baseline care plan was to catch every wound. The IP stated if the care plan was missing for a wound, the wound could get overlooked. The IP stated each specific wound should have its own care plan with the specific interventions being provided. On 2/12/26 at 1400 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 1 was conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2 confirmed there was no care plan regarding wounds for Resident 1. LVN 2 stated Resident 1 should have had a wound care plan. LVN 2 stated the purpose of the wound care plan was to assess how the wound was progressing and to change the intervention if the treatment was not working. LVN 2 stated the purpose of the care plan was also to make goals.

On 2/12/26 at 1430 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 1 was conducted with the DON. The DON reviewed each of the wounds listed on the skin assessment. The DON stated it is the expectation that each wound has a specific care plan.

This failure posed the risk for changes in Resident 1's condition to be missed, miscommunication between care providers, and for Resident 1 to receive incorrect treatment.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Documentation in Medical Record revised 12/19/22, showed documentation should be factual, accurate, and reflect objective information based on first-hand knowledge of the assessment.

Review of Resident 1's Nursing Progress Note dated 2/4/26, showed the resident was on a GT feeding, a wound vac was in place and functioning as ordered, IV antibiotics were continued, and no signs of active infection noted. On 2/12/26 at 1430 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 1 was conducted with the DON. The DON stated there was a lot of confusion and inaccuracies in the nursing record. The DON stated the documentation made it appear Resident 1 was nonverbal one shift, and then the next shift was alert and talking. The DON stated the documentation made it unclear whether the resident improved or declined in function. The DON stated it was a serious concern because the delivery of care and the care plan were jeopardized. The DON stated if a family member called, it could have caused panic to the family member.
