Interview on 11/19/25 at 11:39 a.m. MDS Coordinator D stated she had worked at the facility for two months. She stated her assessment usually was what was required by the MDS Assessment. MDS Coordinator D stated the care plans were a group effort. MDS Coordinator D stated the care plans defined how the facility took care of the resident, whatever procedures were needed. She stated things on the care plan included fall risks, behaviors, and diseases the resident might have that required special attention. MDS Coordinator D stated the facility did not have anyone in the building to do care plans for a while so they were lacking and MDS Coordinator D was trying to get them up to par. MDS Coordinator stated she was working on care plans and they were a work in progress. The MDS Coordinator stated code status, behaviors and dialysis were all things she would expect to see on a care plan.Interview on 11/19/25 at 11:46 a.m. MDS Coordinator E stated care plans needed to be individualized to the resident. MDS Coordinator E stated she was new to the facility so she could not explain the process. MDS Coordinator E said to develop a care plan she would go through the chart looking for a history of falls, any of the Care Assessment Areas, any kind of psychiatric issues, and high-risk medications. MDS Coordinator E said the care plan was usually done right after the MDS Assessment. MDS Coordinator E said the facility was without an MDS Person in the facility for three months and the MDS Assessments were completed remotely by another MDS Coordinator. MDS Coordinator E stated the facility had some areas they could improve on for the care plans. MDS Coordinator E stated the care plan should be interdisciplinary, but no one actually entered the care plan so the MDS Coordinator entered the care plan in as quickly as they could. The MDS Coordinator stated members of the Interdisciplinary Team had the ability to enter their own areas care plan. MDS Coordinator E stated all the management staff had been at the facility for less than 6 months so were new but were all experienced in their position so they would get the care plans corrected.Interview on 11/19/25 at 12:08 p.m. the DON stated she thought there was probably room for improvement with care plans because the facility switched people several times. The DON stated she expected resident risk, elopement risk/attempts, falls or fall risk, risks related to diagnosis or medications. The DON said she expected things that were individual to resident behavioral or other residents' needs like a specialized piece of equipment. The DON stated she saw some of the care plans and thought there was room for improvement. The DON stated she was at the facility for 6 weeks and the corporation brought in a new MDS person. The DON said that many of the residents' needs and expectations were also outlined in the physician orders so the staff would know their expectations. The DON said the facility had a lead CNA who made a paper cheat sheet that was not part of the official resident record that informed the other CNAs, including agency CNAs, what kind of care the residents needed.The Corporate RN was also present and said she expected acute issues like a new onset of a urinary tract infection or other change of condition be care planned. The Corporate RN stated care plans were a work in progress. The Corporate RN stated she started in mid-October, so she did not know what happened to the care plans. The Corporate RN said there was turnover with all management staff including the MDS Coordinator. The Corporate RN said their plan was to work on the care plan, but they had been kind of busy.Review of the facility's 676100 Page 3 of 4 676100 11/19/2025 Avir at San Angelo 5455 Knickerbocker Rd San Angelo, TX 76904
