The facility failed to complete a baseline care plan for Resident #144. This failure could place newly admitted residents at risk of not receiving effective and person-centered care and services.

During an interview with the Director of Nursing on 03/05/25 at 12:00PM, he stated baseline care plans were required to be completed within 48 hours of a resident's admission. He stated there was not an inherent risk to residents if baseline care plans were not completed within this required timeframe, as facility staff communicated closely regarding resident care and ensured all care needs were still met. Review of the facility's Care Plans - Baseline policy, dated 03/2022, reflected, .A baseline plan of care to meet the resident's immediate health and safety needs is developed for each resident (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
