This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 2 to receive inadequate and inappropriate care.Findings: During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 2 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness in the arm, leg, and face on one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (stroke, damage to brain tissue caused by loss of blood flow to a part of the brain), and current use of anticoagulants (medicines to help prevent blood clots). During a review of Resident 2's History and Physical (H&P, physician's clinical evaluation and examination of the resident), dated 5/12/2025, the H&P indicated the resident did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 10/20/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2 had severely impaired in cognitive skills (ability to make daily decisions) and was dependent on others (helper does all of the effort to complete the activity) for activities of daily living (ADLs- activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily). The MDS also indicated Resident 2 was dependent on others to move around in bed and for transfers. During a review of Resident 2's Change of Condition (COC) form, dated 12/1/2025, the COC indicated Resident 2 had skin discoloration on the left upper arm, the left side of the body, and the right forearm which a certified nursing assistant (unidentified) reported to LVN 3 on 12/1/2025 at 5 AM.

LVN 2 stated there was no care plan regarding Resident 2's skin discoloration on the left upper arm, the left side of the body, and the right forearm which were identified on 12/1/2025. LVN 2 stated LVN 3 should have developed a care plan immediately after LVN 3 noticed Resident 2's skin discolorations and after LVN 3 created the COC. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/14/2025 at 11:41 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 2's COC, dated 12/1/2025 and Resident 2's care plans were reviewed. The DON stated there was no care plan regarding Resident 2's skin discoloration on the left upper arm, the left side of the body, and the right forearm which were identified on 12/1/2025. The DON stated the facility must develop and implement a care plan for Resident 2 to monitor Resident 2's physical and psychosocial condition right after Resident 2 was observed with skin discoloration on the left upper arm, the left side of the body, and the right forearm on 12/1/2025. The DON stated that it was important to develop a care plan to monitor the resident's healing process and to monitor any complications which could arise after noticing the skin discoloration on Resident 2. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, revised 3/2022, the P&P indicated that the facility should develop and implement a comprehensive resident-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet each resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs. The P&P indicated, The comprehensive, person-centered care plan reflects currently recognized standards of practice for problem areas and conditions. The P&P indicated, Assessments of residents are ongoing, and care plans are revised as information about the residents and the residents' conditions change.The interdisciplinary team 555374 Page 3 of 4 555374 01/14/2026 Mayflower Care Center 5043 Peck Rd El Monte, CA 91732
