Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the comprehensive care plan (a plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs) was revised for one of three sampled residents (Resident 2) when on 1/19/2026, Resident 2 had an episode of desaturation (low blood concentration), multiple episodes of vomiting, and was transferred to General Acute Care Hospital (GACH). This deficient practice had the potential to delay provision of care for Resident 2 and negatively affect Resident 2's well-being.Findings:During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 2 on 11/24/2024 with diagnoses of heart failure (heart disorder which causes the heart to not pump the blood efficiently, sometimes resulting fluid retention, swelling), epilepsy (a condition with sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares and loss of consciousness), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing). During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool), dated 11/6/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2's cognitive functioning (mental processes that enable people to think, understand, make decisions, and complete tasks) was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was dependent on facility staff for toileting hygiene, toilet transfers, showers, and lower body dressing. During a review of Resident 2's Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendations (SBAR) Communication Form, dated 1/19/2026, the SBAR Communication Form indicated on 1/19/2026, at approximately 11:14 p.m., Resident 2 had episode of vomiting and Resident 2's oxygen saturation was 76 percent (% - one part in every hundred) in room air. The SBAR indicated Resident 2 was transferred to GACH for further evaluation. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/9/2026 at 2:02 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, Resident 2's Care Plan was reviewed. RN 1 stated the facility staff failed to update Resident 2's Care Plan to address Resident 2's episode of vomiting and desaturation. RN 1 stated the Care Plan was essential guide for the facility staff to provide monitoring for Resident 2 to make sure Resident 2's condition does not deteriorate. RN 1 stated failure to update Resident 2's Care Plan had the potential delay in care and monitoring for Resident 2. During a review of the facility-provided policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, last revised on 1/2026, the P&P indicated, A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychological and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident. 12.
