the facility on [DATE] with the diagnosis that included: [Dementia] is a general term for loss of memory,

residents to include Resident # 78. MDS Nurse A stated she was unaware that Resident # 78 preferred her
medication in the dining room. MDS Nurse A stated she reviewed all long-term residents' care plans
