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 observation, interviews, 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 6 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for comprehensive care plans. Resident #1's comprehensive care plan did not reflect Resident #1's mechanical soft texture diet. This deficient practice could place residents at risk for not receiving proper care and services due to inaccurate care plans.

A record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 04/10/2025, reflected the resident had a BIMS score of 99, which indicated the BIMS interview was not completed. Resident #1's Quarterly MDS reflected Resident #1 was dependent in the following areas: toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, and personal hygiene. Resident #1 required substantial/maximal assistance with eating, oral hygiene, and putting on/taking off footwear. Resident #1's Quarterly MDS also reflected he received a mechanically altered diet. A record review of Resident #1's care plan, dated 04/30/2025, reflected Resident #1's care plan did not reflect Resident #1's mechanical soft diet. A record review of Resident #1's physician orders dated 04/30/2025, reflected Resident #1 had a physician order dated 12/08/2023 for regular diet, mechanical soft texture, regular consistency.
