F 0656 - Intervention: Regular Diet, Mechanical soft texture, thin liquids dated 08/03/22. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Resident #54's care plan inaccurately identified advance directive of Full Code dated 07/28/22 as there was an active DNR order dated 10/03/22. Residents Affected - Some Resident #54's care plan did not have a focus, goal, or intervention/tasks for hospice services, narcotic medication, or anxiety medications. An interview on 10/27/22 at 12:49 PM with the DON revealed he worked for the facility since 2014. The DON stated initially the care plans were the responsibility of the MDS Coordinator. However, the facility had been without an MDS Coordinator for about a month. The DON stated the Director of Clinical Reimbursement (DCR/Corporate) was coming two times a week to ensure MDS assessments and care plans were maintained. The DON stated, during the time of not having an MDS nurse, he or the DCR were responsible for care plans. The DON stated if a resident went on hospice, he would create the referral and then when the family or resident agreed to hospice services, the hospice company provided him the paperwork and it was his responsibility to put the order into the system and update the care plan. The DON stated if the information was not in the care plan or electronic orders, the nurses could refer back to a paper chart. However, the DON reviewed Resident #54's paper chart, and there was no order present. The DON stated he was not sure what happened, but it appeared this slipped through the cracks. The DON stated the risk of not showing hospice orders, or any other individualized area, the nurses would not know the residents were on hospice, or who to notify or how to properly care for the residents. The DON stated a resident's diet, use of narcotics, anti-anxiety or depression medications, should be in the care plan. The DON stated again the risk of not having these areas on the care plan puts the residents at risk for not getting the services they deserve. The DON stated no one ultimately reviewed his work, he was trusted to input information accurately. An interview on 10/27/22 at 2:04 PM with the Administrator revealed he worked at the facility since August 2022. The Administrator stated he did not attend care plan meetings as a rule, but if there was a particular concern or need, he would be in attendance. The Administrator stated he did not input care plans. He relied on the DON and/or MDS Coordinator to input and update care plans as needed. The Administrator stated their past MDS Coordinator went back to being a floor nurse about a month ago as she was burnt out from completing MDS assessments and the lack of attention to detail was observed. The Administrator stated while they did not have an MDS Coordinator the facility relied on the Director of Clinical Reimbursement (DCR) and the DON to update and input care plans. The Administrator stated it was important to have accurate, individualized care plans for the residents because it tells the story of the resident. The Administrator stated if the care plans were not accurate, the resident was at risk for not receiving the individualized care they deserve. The Administrator stated, previously he knew there was an issue regarding accurate care plans, but thought the facility had resolved this deficiency. The Administrator stated he ultimately was responsible for all things in the building but to ensure the accuracy of care plans would fall on his DON. An interview on 10/27/22 at 2:23 PM with MDS Coordinator, revealed she was an RN and worked for the facility as a floor nurse since 2016; however, she was not hired for this position until 10/06/22, and she was still learning her position as she has never input an MDS. MDS C stated she could not speak to the accuracy of care plans prior to this date but would recommend the surveyors contact the DCR as she was training her for this position and completed care plans during the time of not having an MDS Coordinator. An interview on 10/27/22 at 2:25 PM with the DCR revealed she was an LVN and worked for the (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675619 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 5 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 675619 B.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some facility for over 13 years and was promoted to Director of Clinical Reimbursement about 1.5 years ago. The DCR stated she filled in as the MDS C at the facility from the first part of September until the new MDS C was hired on 10/06/222. The DCR stated she was still very involved in care plans and MDS assessments as the new MDS Coordinator had no experience. The DCR stated she would physically be at the facility two times a week for resident/family interviews and would continue to work on the care plans and MDS when she was not assisting her other facilities. The DCR stated when she began reviewing the care plans in September she saw a deficiency and she continued to try to get the care plans caught up. The DCR stated care plans should include all areas listed in the MDS to include, hospice, diet, ultimately anything that required a physician's order. The DCR stated care plans were important because that was how the staff knew how to care for the residents. The DCR stated if the care plans were not accurate the staff could not meet the needs of the residents appropriately or in a timely manner. Review of facility policy titled: Comprehensive Care Plans, undated, revealed the following: 1. The facility will develop and implement a comprehensive person centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident' medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment, 2. The comprehensive care plan will describe the following: a. The services that are to be furnished to attain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being, b. Any services that would otherwise be required but are not provided due to a resident exercising their right to refuse treatment and services . 3. The comprehensive care plan will be: a. Developed within 7 days after completion of the comprehensive assessment unless the comprehensive care plan will be used as the baseline care plan which requires completion within 48 hours of admission to the facility (See Baseline Care Plan Policy) .
