F 0656 Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Residents Affected - Some Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to develop the plan of care to reflect the individual care needs for one of seven final sampled residents (Resident 1). * The facility failed to develop a care plan to address Resident 1's risk for impaired cognition. This failure posed the risk for not providing appropriate and individualized care to the resident. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Comprehensive Care Plans dated 12/19/22, showed it is the policy of the facility to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with resident rights, that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the resident's comprehensive assessment. The care planning process will include an assessment of the resident's strengths and needs. Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 6/6/24. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 1's physician's progress note dated 4/23/24, showed Resident 1's primary issues include mild cognitive impairment likely vascular dementia. Resident 1's secondary issues included frailty syndrome. With Resident 1's age and comorbidities, Resident 1 was vulnerable to cognitive decline including periods of delirium, in the setting of cognitive impairment and/or dementia. Review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report showed an order dated 4/24/24, for a follow-up appointment with Physician 1 for a neurology consult for dementia. Further review of Resident 1's plan of care failed to show a comprehensive and individualized care plan problem to address Resident 1's mild cognitive impairment likely due to vascular dementia and vulnerability to cognitive decline. On 6/25/24 at 1145 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the DON. The DON verified Resident 1's plan of care failed to show a comprehensive and individualized care plan specific to Resident 1's mild cognitive impairment likely due to vascular dementia and vulnerability to cognitive decline.

Resident 1's appointment was scheduled to take place at the facility utilizing Resident 1's telephone. However, at the time of Resident 1's appointment, no staff were present to assist Resident 1 with her appointment via telephone. As a result, Resident 1 did not attend her scheduled neurology appointment. This failure had the potential to delay Resident 1's plan of care. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Accommodation of Needs dated 12/19/22, showed the facility will treat each resident with respect and dignity and will evaluate and make reasonable accommodations for the individual needs and preferences of a resident.
