Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, observation, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights, that included measurable
objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that
were identified in the comprehensive assessment for 1 of 4 residents, (Resident #1) reviewed for care
plans.
1. The facility failed to follow the care plan dated 07/05/24 when staff failed to ensure a pillow was always
under Resident #1's feet who had a DTI to the heel, while she was in the bed on 02/19/25.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving the necessary care and services.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old female, with an initial admission date
of 04/06/23, and a re-admission date of 02/18/25. Resident #1 had a diagnosis of non-traumatic acute
subdural hemorrhage (blood leaks between the brain and the skull), Type 2 Diabetes (body does not use
insulin properly or produce enough insulin), Hypothyroidism (thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid
hormone), Muscle weakness, Chronic Kidney Disease, Wedge Compression Fracture (spinal fracture),
Dementia (loss of memory and other mental capabilities), and Arthritis (joint inflammation and damage).
Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 12/26/24, reflected Resident #1 had a
BIMS score of 3, which meant Resident #1 had a very low level of cognition.
The MDS also noted Resident #1 did not display any behavioral symptoms like threatening others,
screaming, cursing at others, hitting, scratching, pacing, or rummaging. The MDS noted Resident #1 did not
display and rejection of care. Pressure ulcers were listed under skin conditions on the MDS quarterly
assessment.

In a follow up interview on 02/19/25 at 6:19 PM, the DON stated a staff member just changed Resident #1's
sheet and put the pillow back at the foot of the bed to offload Resident #1's heels. The DON stated that was
the first time she noticed Resident #1 without the pillow at the foot of the bed and feet offloaded. The DON
stated she would update the care plan and note interventions to ensure Resident #1's heels were always
offloaded. The DON stated she would also have the ADONs check to ensure Resident #1's feet were
offloaded. The DON stated the risk of Resident #1 heels not offloaded was pressure that would lead to skin
breakdown and a lower level of care.
In an interview on 02/19/25 at 7:01 PM, the MDS Coordinator stated she ensured the care plans were
completed and reflected all concerns. She stated she was unaware of Resident #1's feet not being
offloaded. The MDS Coordinator stated she was taught that a general note of a refusal of care on the care
plan would cover all concerns. The MDS Coordinator confirmed there was not a specific mention of any
concerns with not offloading or Resident #1 interfering with offloading of her heels. The MDS Coordinator
stated she was not aware of a risk, since a general note of refusal was on the care plan.
In an interview on 02/19/25 at 7:16 PM, the Administrator stated before today, he was not aware of the
issue with Resident #1's heels not offloaded. The Administrator stated he was not a medical practitioner, so
he would have to ask Resident #1's doctor if there were risks associated with her heels not offloaded. The
Administrator stated Resident #1's overall care plan should have addressed all care concerns. He stated
interventions should have been listed on Resident #1' care plan if there were concerns of her interfering
with the offload of her heels.
Record review of the facility's policy titled, Care Plans Comprehensive Person-Centered, dated 2001,
revised 03/2022, reflected the following:
