F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 interview and record review the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment for 1 (CR#3) of 6 residents reviewed for comprehensive care plans. The facility failed to ensure that CR #3 had a comprehensive care plan that included all care areas triggered on her assessment. This failure could place all residents at risk of not receiving proper care and services to develop and improve their mental, physical and psychosocial well-being. Record review of CR#3's admission face sheet dated 7/18/2025 revealed she was an [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included cancer (a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissues), coronary artery disease (buildup of plaque that causes narrowing of the arteries), heart failure (a chronic condition in which the heart doesn't pump blood), hyperlipidemia (high levels of fat in the blood), gastro esophageal reflux disease (a condition where stomach content flows back in the esophagus), protein calorie malnutrition (insufficient intake of both calorie and protein in the diet), anxiety disorder, respiratory failure (occurs when the lungs can't properly exchange gases oxygen and carbon dioxide). Record review of CR #3's admission MDS dated [DATE] revealed she was coded as having a BIMS score of 13 indicating she was cognitively intact and was occasionally incontinent of bladder and continent of bowel. Further record review revealed CR#3 was triggered for incontinence, pressure sore, pain, falls, ADLs and psych meds. Record review of CR#3's physician's order dated 6/6/2025 revealed an order for Sertraline 25 mg by mouth once a day for anxiety. Record review of CR #3's care plan initiated 6/05/2025 and revised on 6/16/2025 revealed it did not address anti-anxiety medication Sertraline. In an interview on 7/31/2025 at 4:00pm with MDS Coordinator A she confirmed the care plan did not address anti-anxiety medication sertraline. She said the program they were currently using was new and they were trying to work with it. She said the MDS was the main tool to guide them to develop an accurate and complete care plan. She said they were working on looking at the care plan as soon as they were admitted . She said because most of the residents were short stay residents, they must address all care areas as soon as possible. She said they were going to try and ensure that all triggered areas were captured on the care plans to ensure residents' care needs were addressed.

She said she was supposed to provide treatment to CR#2's foot on 6/22/2025 but she did not provide the treatment, because the resident had family visitors, and she did not get a chance to do the treatment. She said she documented in error on 6/22/2025 that the treatment was done but it was not done. She said when she realized the treatment was not done, she tried to correct the documentation, but she could not make corrections because the system they were currently working with was new and she did not know how to do the corrections. She said when she realized she could not correct the documentation she wrote a note to the DON, slipped it under her office door asking her to correct the documentation for her. In an interview on 7/1/2025 at 2:50 PM with LVN C, she said she worked with CR#2 on 6/23/2025 and she did her wound treatment. She saidCR#2 had cellulitis, and she was sure she did the wound treatment for her. She was asked about the date on the soil dressing, and she said she could not recall the date on the soiled dressing. In an interview with the DON on 7/1/2025 at 3:25 PM, she said RN E wrote a note on 6/22/2024 and left it under her door explaining to her she had documented in error on CR#2's treatment record stating she had done wound treatment to CR#2's foot on 6/22/2025, but she did not provide the treatment and she was asking her to make the corrections to the documentation for her because, the system was new to her and she did not know how to make the corrections.

Further interview with the Medical Director revealed he never actually saw the resident when she was in the hospital. He said he spoke with the doctor who provided care to CR#2 prior to her nursing home admission and when she was admitted to the ER from the nursing home. He said there was no change in the wound it had not gotten worst and orders in the ER was to continue with the same wound care treatment she currently has. The Medical Director said he could not say what could happen if a wound was not changed for several days because it's hypothetical and in her case it didn't affect CR#'2 wound. Hospital record was requested but not received, as a result it was difficult to determine that CR#2's wound getting worse was due to dressing change not done. Record review of the facility's policy and procedure for medication administration and documentation revealed it did not address documentation and following physician's order. 676111 Page 4 of 10 676111 07/31/2025 The Buckingham 8580 Woodway Drive Houston, TX 77063
