The MDS Coordinator also stated he missed revising the documentation related to her Depression and the discontinued medication Lexapro. The MDS Coord stated that he did not feel the nursing staff used the care plans to check the status of a resident, it was more for when State would come into the building. The MDS Coordinator, however, said the care plan should reflect the current status of a resident. The MDS Coord. stated the facility does not do morning meetings every morning to relay this information. In an interview on 12/22/25 at 2:45 PM, LVN A stated she was not aware of any specific behavioral interventions for Resident #1 other than redirecting. LVN A stated Resident #1 could be aggressive toward staff or if she wanted something staff had, such as food or a drink, she would grab it from staff. LVN A stated if interventions were not addressed per specific behavior, then a possible negative outcome would be that the behavior could possibly get worse. LVN A stated the MDS Coordinator was responsible for ensuring care plans reflected the resident's status.

The DON further stated not including information in the care plan could result in a lapse in care for the resident. In an interview on 12/22/2025 at 3:00 PM, the AD said she had not been instructed to work specifically with Resident #1 related to behavioral interventions. The AD, however, said the resident does attend activities with the group. The AD stated that although the resident can be difficult to understand, she felt Resident #1 wanted to be heard, and she had made a point to sit with the resident to listen to her and felt doing that helped the resident. In an interview on 12/22/2025 at 3:45 PM during the exit conference, the ADM confirmed the care plan should reflect the resident's' status related to her behaviors and interventions and stated their approach was not where it should be with Resident #1.
