In an interview on 4/3/25 at 1:30 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that by using two separate computer programs for activity documentation and care planning resulted in Resident's 4, 5, 59 and 110 not having individualized activity interest care plans developed. 555909 Page 2 of 3 555909 04/04/2025 Colusa Medical Center - Snf 199 E Webster Street Colusa, CA 95932
