Resident #1 did not have a care plan completed for her diagnosis of generalized anxiety. Resident #1 did not have a care plan completed after she was prescribed Buspirone/Buspar (anti-anxiety medication) on 10/16/25 for anxiety. This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving proper care and services. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 11/19/25 indicated she was an [AGE] year old female, admitted on [DATE], and her diagnoses included Parkinsonism (conditions that affect movement), diabetes (condition that affects blood sugar levels), cognitive communication deficit (difficulties in communication due to impaired cognitive function), and generalized anxiety disorder-onset 02/01/23 (a mental health condition that causes fear, a constant feeling of being overwhelmed and excessive worry about everyday things). Record review of Resident #1's annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated she usually made herself understood, usually understood others, and had moderate cognitive impairment (BIMS-11). Resident #1's active diagnoses included anxiety disorder. Resident #1 was taking an antianxiety medication. Record review of Resident #1's care plans dated 11/01/24 through 11/20/25 indicated there was no care plan related to Resident #1's diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder or Buspirone/Buspar start date or discontinuation. Record review of Resident #1's physician orders dated 10/16/25 indicated Buspirone tablet 5 mg 1 tablet by mouth BID for anxiety. Record review of Resident #1's behavioral assessment dated [DATE], completed by LPC J indicated Resident #1 was referred for psychology and psychiatric services due to memory loss, short term memory problems and long term memory problems. Her diagnoses included generalized anxiety disorder. She was alert, coherent and oriented. She was pleasant and cooperative. Resident #1 indicated living at the nursing home was difficult for her. She demonstrated anxious behavior, such as unable to stay in places long. She was open to therapy sessions to help her adjust to being at the nursing home and learn to reduce and manage her anxiety. Resident #1 had the cognitive ability to learn and apply interventions to help with adjustment, reduce anxiety, memory loss and improve quality of life at the nursing home. She had mild anxiety and the goal for therapy was reduction of anxiety. Her treatment plan would address: adjustment, anxiety, confusion, depression, irritability, loss of pleasure/interest, memory loss, nervous/worried, pain, stress, and withdrawal. Record review of Resident #1's Psychological Service Progress Note dated 10/14/25, completed by LPC J, indicated Resident #1 was alert, coherent and oriented. The patient appeared anxious, nervous and unable to remain still. The assessment plan indicated generalized anxiety disorder would be treated with Buspar 1 tablet 5 mg.
