care plan based on their current needs. The MDS nurse stated she was not aware Resident #5's care plan
was not completed fully, to include all CAA areas indicated on Resident #5's MDS. The MDS nurse stated
this was overlooked. The MDS nurse stated all CAA areas should have been included on Resident #5's
care plan, as they applied to her current care. The MDS nurse stated the facility had a system to review
care planning tasks at their IDT meetings as well. The MDS nurse stated she would ensure Resident #1's
care plan was updated that day, 07/31/2025. The MDS nurse stated if a care plan was not updated or
completed properly, it would not be specific to the resident's current care needs. During an interview on

plans for residents. The DON stated she also assisted with reviewing care plans and ensuring they were

should have been included as focus areas on a resident's care plan. The DON stated it was her expectation
that all triggered care areas have a focus area on a resident's care plan to ensure the resident is receiving
care for all of their identified needs. The DON stated she was not aware Resident #5's care plan was not
completed fully. The DON stated if a care plan was not accurate, the resident may not have received the
care they needed. During an interview on 07/31/2025 at 11:40 AM, the ADM stated care plans were the
responsibility of the MDS nurse. The ADM stated the MDS nurse was responsible for reviewing and
completing care plans, and the DON also reviewed care plans to ensure accuracy. The ADM stated care
plans were completed upon admission and reviewed quarterly. The ADM stated any changes would have
been added as soon as the change of condition was known. The ADM was not sure if all MDS CAA areas
should have been listed on Resident #5's care plan. However, he stated he would follow up to ensure it was
updated accurately. The ADM stated care planning tasks were also discussed during the facility's IDT
meetings, and any changes or updates were added, as needed, by each department head. The ADM
stated it was his expectation that all critical areas were addressed on a resident's care plan. The ADM
stated if a resident's care plan was not completed accurately, the resident could have been negatively
impacted because expectations could be missed if they were not listed in the care plan. Record review of
the facility's policy titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered undated, reflected the
following:Policy Statement:A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable
objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial, and functional needs is developed
and implemented for each resident.Policy Interpretation and Implementation:1. The Interdisciplinary Team
(IDT), in conjunction with the resident and his/her family or legal representative, develops and implements a
