F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with resident rights, which included measurable objectives and time frames to meet residents' mental and psychosocial needs, for one (Resident #1) of three residents reviewed for care plans. The facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan to address Resident #1's physical, verbal, and sexual aggressive behaviors towards staff, visual function, risk for falls, risk for pressure ulcers, antianxiety medications, and 1:1 staffing. This failure could place residents at risk for their medical, physical, and psychosocial needs not being met. The findings were: Record review of Resident #1's admission record dated 11/07/2023, revealed Resident #1 was 86 years-old and was admitted to facility on 07/29/2023 with a diagnoses of encephalopathy (brain disease that alters brain function), Alzheimer's Disease (neurodegenerative disease that destroys memory and other important mental function), Altered Mental Status (changes in consciousness, appearance, behavior, mood, affect, motor activity or cognitive function) and Delirium (serious disturbance in mental abilities that result in confused thinking and reduced thinking and reduced awareness of surroundings). Resident was discharged to another facility on 11/07/2023. Record review of Resident #1's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment Cognitive Patterns Section, dated 08/05/2023, revealed Resident #1 had a BIMS of 05 which indicated severe impaired cognition. Further review of the admission MDS Care Area Assessment Summary section revealed Resident #1 was triggered to have care plan interventions for Cognitive loss/ Dementia, Visual Function, Communication, ADL Function, Behaviors, Falls, and Risk of Pressure Ulcers. Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive Care plan, completed on 08/16/2023, revealed no evidence of care plan interventions for Cognitive loss/ Dementia, Visual Function, Communication, ADL Function, Behaviors, Falls, and Risk of Pressure Ulcers. During an interview on 11/06/2023 at 9:05 AM, the DON said that Resident #1's care plan should have captured his 1 to 1 observation, his antianxiety medications, and his behaviors when his Comprehensive Care Plan Assessment was completed. She said that she was not part of the care plan process, and her expectations were for those issues to be addressed. She said that this could cause issues in capturing an accurate picture of the resident. During an interview on 11/06/2023 at 2:13 PM., the MDS Coordinator said that she was responsible for the Comprehensive Care Plan assessments, and she was new in this position when she started May 25, 2023. She had requested help and additional training from the DON and Corporate. She said that she should have captured on the care plan that Resident #1 was receiving 1 to 1 observation, behaviors, his risk for pressure ulcers, his visual loss and his risk for falls, but she did not know that the CAAS areas should have been captured in the care plan. She said that this could cause the resident to not receive to care they need.
