The facility failed to revise and update Resident #37's comprehensive care plan with new enteral feeding orders. The facility failed to revise and update Resident #78's comprehensive care plan for hospice services. These failures could affect residents of the facility by not addressing their physical, mental, and psychosocial needs for each to attain or maintain their highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial outcome. Findings included: 1. Record review of the undated face sheet indicated Resident #37 was a [AGE] year-old female that was admitted on [DATE].

Record review of the most recent MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #78 was receiving hospice care while a resident in the facility. Record review of a care plan last revised on 11/06/23 did not indicate Resident #78 was receiving hospice care. During an interview on 11/14/23 at 12:20 PM, the Regional Nurse said Resident #37's care plan had not been updated to indicate she was currently on bolus feedings. She said Resident #37 was receiving the correct feedings ordered by the physician. During an interview on 11/14/23 at 2:43 PM, the Regional Nurse looked at the care plan for Resident #37 and said she understood it had not been changed to bolus feedings (on 5/24/23) and still indicated a continuous feeding. The Regional Nurse and this surveyor compared the care plan to the physician's orders. She said the care plan did not reflect the current care of the resident. She said the care plan should have been updated with Resident #37's new orders for bolus feedings. During an interview on 11/14/23 at 3:36 PM, RN C said care plans should be updated and accurate because they were the blueprint on how to care for the resident. He said Resident #37 used to be a continuous feeding at night, but he knew the order changed to bolus feedings, so he would not make a mistake even if the care plan was incorrect. He said the care plan should still be accurate. He said the person responsible for making sure the care plans were accurate was the CPC. During an interview on 11/14/23 at 3:40 PM, LVN B said the care plans for residents should always be updated and accurate because that was how their care was dictated. She said if the care plans were wrong, they should be updated as soon as possible. LVN B said the CPC was responsible for making sure the care plans were correct and up to date.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 11/14/23 at 3:45 PM, ADON A said the care plans being accurate was very important because that was how they knew how to take care of the resident. She said the person responsible for making sure the care plan was accurate was the CPC. During an interview on 11/14/23 at 4:31 PM, the DON said the care plan for Resident #37 should have been correct and updated so they administered her feeding correctly. She said it was on the MAR correctly, so she believed that the feeding was being given correctly. She said the CPC was responsible for accuracy of the care plans and keeping them updated. She said the ADM had been checking the care plans since October of 2023, but she did not know if she had looked at that Resident #37's. She said moving forward from right now they will be bringing care plans to the morning meeting to go over them and make sure they were correct. She said beginning right now she would be checking all care plans for revisions and accuracy. She said the problem with the care plans being wrong was that the staff may not know to do the right things for the resident. During an observation on 11/14/23 at 4:45 PM, Resident #37 was lying in her bed. Her eyes were open. The head of her bed was up approximately 35 degrees. She did not acknowledge this surveyor or respond to verbal stimulation. During an interview on 11/14/23 04:57 PM, the DON said the Comprehensive Care Plan policy was the only one they had. She said they did not have a policy regarding updating or revising care plans. During a phone interview on 11/14/23 at 5:44 PM, the CPC said Resident #78's care plan should have been updated to show he was on hospice care. She said Resident #37's care plan should have been updated to show she got bolus feedings through her peg tube and no longer got continuous feedings at night. She said it was important for the care plans to be correct because nurses looked at them to see how to care for a resident. She said she was responsible for making sure the care plans were correct. She said she had started checking care plans for accuracy recently, in the last 10 days or so. The CPC said no one was checking her care plans for accuracy but the ADM, DON, and ADON's were going to start checking them for accuracy during the care plan meetings. During an interview on 11/15/23 at 8:10 AM, the DON said the process for updating changes on a care plan was they would take the triplicate for the new orders into the stand-up meeting and go over the new orders at that time. She said they would give the copy to the CPC. The DON said she could not provide the triplicates or the notes from the stand-up meeting because they had been shredded. She said she did not know how Resident 78's hospice order, or Resident #37's feeding change was missed. During an interview on 11/15/23 08:15 AM, RN F said she had worked at the facility for 3 months and always worked PRN. She said Resident #37 had always gotten bolus feedings since she had worked. She said the physician's orders indicated she got bolus feedings. She said it was important for the care plan to be accurate to know how to properly care for the patient. She said she went by a resident's orders and double checked it on the MAR for accuracy. She said the MAR and physician's orders both indicated bolus feedings for Resident #37. During an interview on 11/15/23 08:52 AM, the Regional Nurse provided the updated care plan for Resident #37 that indicated: Resident #37 requires Glucerna 1.5 calorie, 240 ml bolus three times a day for feeding.

F 0657 plans. She said care plans were the responsibility of the CPC. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 11/15/23 09:39 AM, the ADM said the new process for care plans as of 10/24/23 was to discuss any changes at the morning meetings with the ADON's, DON, and herself. She said the DON and ADON's were currently auditing care plans, but they had not gotten to Resident #37 or Resident #78's care plan yet. She said the new process was to compare the consolidated physician's orders with the care plans to make sure nothing was missed, and the care plan was correct. The ADM said the CPC was responsible for making sure the care plan was accurate but ultimately, as the ADM she was responsible.
