Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to complete Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident clinical assessment tool) assessments within the required time frame for two of 51 residents (Resident 1 and 2). This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect the provision of necessary care and services. Findings: Review of Resident 1's MDS schedule, indicated there was no annual MDS (a comprehensive MDS assessment followed by the development and/or review of the comprehensive care plan) or quarterly MDS (non-comprehensive MDS) completed between 11/17/22 and 7/25/23.

MDSC also confirmed for Resident 2, an annual MDS due in February 2023 and a quarterly MDS due in May 2023 were not completed.

During an interview on 1/22/24 at 2:20 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), she stated MDS was supposed to be done quarterly, and she confirmed there was no evidence that Resident 1 and 2's care plans were reviewed quarterly.
