This survey cited 6 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan within 48 hours of admission for two of two new admissions: Residents 18 and 36. This failure had the potential to negatively affect continuity of care and communication for nursing staff, decreasing resident safety, and an inability to monitor the resident's progress based on their changing needs and preferences. Findings: During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/14/25 at 3:55 p.m., with the Minimum Data Set (MDSa standardized assessment tool used to comprehensively evaluate the health status of each resident) Coordinator, the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Preliminary Care Plans, dated August 2006 was reviewed. The P&P indicated a preliminary plan of care to meet the resident's immediate needs shall be developed for each resident within twenty- four (24) hours of admission . to assure that the resident's immediate care needs are met and maintained. Resident 18 was admitted on [DATE]. In review of Resident 18's electronic medical record in the three care areas of pain management, position/mobility, and anticoagulant (AC- is commonly known as a blood thinner, is a chemical substance that prevents or reduces the coagulation of blood, prolonging the clotting time), the MDS Coordinator was unable to find any baseline care plan, and stated there is none. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/17/25 at 9:15 a.m., with the MDS Coordinator in his office, Resident 36's baseline care plan was reviewed. Resident's 36's care plan indicated there was no care plan for Activities of Daily Living (ADL- the basic tasks people perform every day to care for themselves like bathing, dressing, eating, etc.) and position/mobility. MDS Coordinator acknowledged there was no care plan. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

Findings: Review of the admission Record, dated 1/15/2025, indicated, Resident 4 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE], original admission date 10/1/2024. Review of the admission History and Physical, dated 12/5/2024 indicated, the diagnoses that included, Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis (both are terms to describe weakness or inability to move muscles on one side of the body) following a cerebrovascular disease (disrupt blood flow to the brain leadin to lack of oxygen and nutrients) affecting left non dominant side, retention of urine, unspecified. During an interview on 1/16/2025 at 11:26 a.m., with Social Services (SS), SS stated, we still didn't do Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) meeting for resident 4 because we don't have time yet, but I already communicate with the family about it. During an observation on 1/16/2025 at 3:09 p.m., at room [ROOM NUMBER]B, Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA1) entered the room and went directly to bed B then started searching for something on the sides of the bed, CNA1 found the urinary bag beside the left hip of resident 4. In concurrent record review and interview dated 01/16/2025 at 3:20 p.m., Director of Nursing (DON) stated there was no comprehensive care plan regarding urinary catheter, sorry i missed it, and acknowledged that there was no evidence of documentation of a completed comprehensive care plan for Resident 4. A review of the Policy and Procedure titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive revised 10/2010, the policy statement indicated, An individualized comprehensive care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychological needs is developed for each resident. Policy Interpretation and Implementation 1. Our facility's care planning/Interdisciplinary Team, in coordination with the resident, his family or representative (sponsor), develops and maintains a comprehensive care plan for each resident that identifies the highest level of functioning the resident may be expected to attain. 3. Each resident's comprehensive care plan is designed to: a. incorporate identified problem areas b. Incorporate risk factors associated with identified problems, f. Identify the professional services that are responsible for each element of care .

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to 1. offer snacks to every resident who did not have contraindications. Total residents' census on 1/13/2025 was 29 residents. 2. Unpasteurized eggs were provided to residents who wanted fried eggs for breakfast on 1/14/2025. 3. The temperature of the water at the handwashing sink in the kitchen did not reach a level warm enough for washing hands.
