Information regarding formulation of Advanced Directive (AD- a written document that indicates a resident's medical wishes) was provided to the Residents' Representatives (RR), for two of 14 residents reviewed for AD (Residents 18 and 7); and 2. Resident 11's AD was not readily available in the resident's medical record. These failures had the potential for the resident/resident representative's current wishes for medical care not to be honored. Findings: 1. On July 29, 2024, Resident 18's record was reviewed. Resident 18 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 18's Resident Representative (RR- makes decisions for the resident due to the resident not having mental capacity to make medical decisions) was his family member (FM). Resident 18's History and Physical, dated July 10, 2024, indicated a history of alcohol and cocaine use, post assault, stroke, status post craniotomy (opening in the skull to access the brain for surgery), chronic respiratory failure requiring tracheostomy (opening into the wind pipe from outside the neck to allow air and oxygen to reach the lungs). Resident 18 required high complexity medical decision making. Resident 18's Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment tool), dated July 16, 2024, indicated Resident 18 had severe cognitive impairment. Resident 18's Physician's Order for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST), signed by the RR on July 22, 2024, did not indicate the presence of an AD.
