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
observation, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights, that included measurable
objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial need that
were identified in the comprehensive assessment for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for
comprehensive person-centered care plans. The facility failed to develop an individualized comprehensive
person-centered care plan for Resident #1 by including a bedtime snack when he was NPO. This deficient
practice could place residents at risk of not being provided with the necessary care or services and not
having personalized plans developed to address their specific needs. The Findings include: The Findings
include: Record review of Resident #1's admission sheet dated 11/10/25 reflected a [AGE] year-old male
with an admit date of 06/16/2025 and an initial admission date of 02/13/2025. His relevant diagnoses
included Huntington's disease (a progressive, fatal genetic disorder that causes the breakdown of nerve
cells in the brain, leading to motor, cognitive, and emotional symptoms that worsen over time), diabetes
(chronic disease where the body cannot properly regulate its blood glucose levels), muscle wasting/atrophy,
muscle weakness, abnormalities of gait/mobility, lack of coordination, hypoxia (shortness of breath, rapid
breathing, and a fast heart rate) and aphasia (a language disorder that impairs a person's ability to
communicate, affecting their reading, writings, speaking, and understanding of others). Record review of
Resident #1's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score was left blank, which indicated his
cognition was severely impaired. His MDS also reflected he had unclear speech (slurred or mumbled word),
he rarely/never made himself understood, and rarely/never understood others.Record review of Resident
#1's quarterly care plan dated 08/25/25 reflected a:Focus: I am at risk for nutritional deficits and/or
dehydration risk r/t NPO-unable to eat or drink by mouth, requires enteral (the delivery of nutrition directly
into the gastrointestinal tract through a tube) feedings for nutrition/hydration supportInterventions: in part
included tube feeding Record review of Resident #1's Kardex (a desktop file system that gives a brief
overview of each resident and is updated every shift) dated 11/10/25 reflected: Eating/Nutrition:
NPO-nothing by mouth-see nurse for questions, I require enteral feeding support. Eating: bedtime snack In
an observation on 11/10/25 at 1:43 pm, Resident #1 was observed lying in bed awake. He was on O2 via
nasal cannula at 3 lpm (as ordered) and had a feeding tube with continuous feeding. RP G was at his
bedside. In an interview on 11/10/25 at 1:45 pm, RP G said Resident #1 had been admitted to the facility
with a feeding tube. She said Resident #1 cannot eat or drink anything by mouth. She said Resident #1 had
never been fed anything by mouth while at the facility.In an interview on 11/10/25 at 4:00 pm, CNA A said
she had cared for Resident #1 for five months and knew he was not able to eat or drink anything by mouth
because he was fed via feeding tube. She said if she had a question regarding his plan of care, she would
ask the charge nurse. She said CNAs were not

allowed to touch a resident's feeding tube or to feed them via their feeding tube. She said that task
belonged to nursing staff.In an interview on 11/10/25 at 4:18 pm, LVN D said Resident #1 had a feeding
tube and was not allowed to eat or drink anything by mouth. He said if a CNA had any questions regarding
his plan of care they would ask a charge nurse. He said CNAs were not allowed to touch a resident's
feeding tube, he said that tasked belonged to nursing staff only.In an interview on 11/12/25 at 9:00 am,
MDS/RN F, said it was her responsibility to ensure a resident's care plan (Kardex), and MDS were
individualized and accurate. She said Resident #1 had a feeding tube and was not able to eat or drink
anything by mouth. She said Resident #1's Kardex included a bedtime snack which was not an appropriate
task for him because he had a feeding tube. She said the task of bedtime snack auto populated on all
resident's Kardex, she said it was her responsibility to remove it for residents that were not allowed to have
one. She said she failed to remove the task of bedtime snack for Resident #1 when she completed his most
recent care plan. She was observed as she checked Resident #1's task of bedtime snack for the past 30
days and said the CNAs had documented NA for bedtime snack which indicated a snack was not given.
MDS/RN F said there were no negative outcomes to Resident #1 having that task of a bedtime snack on
his Kardex because he had not been given one. In an interview on 11/12/25 at 11:00, the DON said
Resident #1 had been admitted with a feeding tube. She was observed as she checked Resident #1's
Kardex and said a bedtime snack was a task that automatically populated but for him, it should have been
removed because he was NPO. The DON said there were no negative outcomes to Resident #1 having his
Kardex show a bedtime snack because he had not been given one. She said CNAs were trained to no give
any food or drink to residents who were on continuous feed via a feeding tube and if they had any
questions regarding a resident's plan of care to ask their charge nurse.Record review of the facility's Care
Plans policy dated February 2017 and revised January 2024 reflected:Care Plans: The community
develops a comprehensive care plan for each resident that includes measurable objectives to meet a
resident's medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive
assessment. The care plan should be reflective of the identified problem or risk, a measurable outcome
objective and appropriate intervention/interventions in relation to the identified problem or risk, outcome
objective, and the resident's ability, needs, medical condition, preventative measures. The care plan may
also include the expressed preferences. The care plan in conjunction with the plan of care throughout the
medical record is developed and or recommended to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable
physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to maintain medical records in accordance with accepted
professional standards and practices that were complete and accurately documented for 1 of 3 residents
(Resident #2) reviewed for accuracy of records. The facility failed to ensure LVN C signed off Bisacodyl 10
mg PRN via rectal 1 dose on 10/03/25 after it was administered to Resident #2.This failure could place
residents at risk of not receiving appropriate care through inadequate documentation resulting in
deterioration in condition, exacerbation of disease process, overmedication, and increased risk of harm or
injury. The Findings included: Record review of Resident #2's admission record dated 11/13/25 reflected a
[AGE] year-old female with an admit date of 09/29/25 and an initial admission date of 09/15/25. Her
relevant diagnoses included end stage renal disease (the final stage of chronic kidney disease, where the
kidneys have severe damage and can no longer function well enough to sustain life), dependence on renal
dialysis (patient has permanent kidney failure and relies on dialysis procedure or kidney transplant to
sustain life), and constipation (having fewer than three bowel movements a week, with stools that are hard,
dry, and difficult to pass). Record review of Resident #2's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE]
reflected a BIMS score of 10, which indicated her cognition was moderately impaired. Record review of
Resident #2's quarterly care plan dated 09/15/25 reflected a: Focus- I have chronic health conditions &
comorbidities conditions that have affected my physical function and may affect my quality of
life.constipation Interventions- in part included administer my medications, treatments, respiratory
treatment/therapy, and diet as recommended by physician. Provide care as tolerated and needed. Record
review of Resident #2's change in condition dated 10/03/25, authored by LVN D reflected: Situation: The
change in condition, symptoms, or signs observed and evaluated is/are: constipation or impaction. Things
that make the condition or symptom worse are: Resident complaining of constipation and wanting relief.
This condition, symptom, or sign has occurred before: yes. Review and notify: primary care clinician
notified: yes, date: 10/03/25, time: 11:00 am. Recommendations of Primary Clinicians: administer Bisacodyl
PRN via rectal X 1 dose. Record review of Resident #2's eMAR for the month of October 2025 did not
reflected an order for bisacodyl PRN via rectal x1 dose therefore, not signed off after being administered
on10/03/25. Record review of Resident #2's Bowel Task report for 10/03/25 reflected she had a bowel
movement at 1:43 pm. In an interview on 11/12/25 at 9:18 am, LVN D said on 10/03/25, RN E had informed
him that Resident #2 had been flagged on their daily reports indicating she had not had a bowel movement
in several days. He said he immediately sent CNA H to go check on Resident #2 and asked her if she felt
she was constipated or had any discomfort. LVN D said CNA H had later gone back to him and told him that
Resident #2 had requested medication for her constipation. LVN D said he called Resident #2's NP and he
had prescribed a PRN 1 x medication (Bisacodyl/suppository) for relief. He said he instructed CNA H to
accompany him to administer the suppository. LVN D said the medication Bisacodyl was successful and
Resident #2 had a bowel movement minutes later. LVN D said as soon as Resident #2's NP ordered the
Bisacodyl, he had completed an order and signed it off on her 10/2025 eMAR after it was administered.
LVN D there were no negative outcomes to Resident #3 for not inputting an order for Bisacodyl and signing
off on it after it was administered because he insisted he had done both. In an interview on 11/12/25 at
10:00 am, RN E said the facility received daily reports on residents that were flagged for not having a bowel
movement in three days. RN E said on 10/03/25 while she reviewed those reports she noticed that
Resident #2 had been flagged for not having a bowel movement in 3 days and discussed it with LVN D. RN
E said as she reviewed Resident

#2's eMAR that she did not see an order for the medication Bisacodyl and since there was no order, it did
not populate on Resident #2's 10/2025 eMAR. RN E said the facility's protocol would have been that as
soon as LVN D received the order for Bisacodyl, he should have inputted an order and then it would have
automatically populated on Resident #2's eMAR. RN E said, since LVN D did not create an order for
Bisacodyl, it was not populate on Resident #2's eMAR and not alerted to sign off on it. RN E said there
were no negative outcomes to Resident #2 not having the medication Bisacodyl listed and signed off on her
10/2025 eMAR because she had confirmed with CNA H and LVN D that it had been administered. She said
the medication had been written on Resident #2's Change in Condition. In an interview on 11/12/25 at
11:45 am, the DON said the facility's protocol for a nursing staff would have been that as soon as they
receive an order to input it on the resident's electronic medical record. Once it was inputted as an order, it
would populate on the resident's eMAR. After the nursing staff had administered the medication, it needed
to be signed off on the eMAR. She said if the medication had been inputted and for some reason the
nursing staff had forgotten to sign off on it, the system would have generated an alert. She said she had
already discovered that on 10/03/25, LVN D had not inputted the medication Bisacodyl as an order and had
not signed it off on Resident #2's eMAR. The DON said there were no negative outcomes to Resident #2
not having her medication Bisacodyl listed on her October 2025 eMAR and LVN D not signing off on it. She
said the fact that what Resident #2's NP had ordered (Bisacodyl) had been documented on her Change in
Condition report was sufficient. The DON said Resident #2's bowel movement task report indicated
Resident #2 had a bowel movement on 10/03/25 after the administration of the Bisacodyl. Record review of
the facility's Professional Standard of Care policy dated February 2017 and revised in January 2024
reflected: Compliance Guidelines: The community provides services that meet professional standard of
quality and are provided by appropriately qualitied persons (e.g., licensed, certified).Compliance with
Professional Standards of Care Nursing: Practices-D: When a licensed nurse takes a verbal or telephone
order from a medical provider (MD/NP/PA), podiatrist, or dentist, the nurse should sign the order.
