care and needs. She stated she had used a translator on her phone to communicate with the Hispanic
residents. Interview on 10/16/25 at 4:19 pm, MDS RN G stated for the Spanish speaking residents she
would get a Spanish speaking CNA to help translate for her. Interview on 10/16/25 at 5:20 pm, SW H stated
she had no complaints from anyone about the staff not knowing how to communicate in Spanish. She
stated she did not know if the Hispanics had communication boards so they could visualize the picture to
choose what their needs were. She stated it depended on the situation on how it could affect the residents.
She stated the harm could be minimum or serious, such as needing to be changed more often. She stated
the Hispanic residents needs would not be met if they were not able to figure out what the residents' needs
were. Interview on 10/16/25 at 5:48 pm, the DON stated she started updating the care plans of the Spanish
speaking residents today 10/16/25 because the HHSC Surveyor started asking the staff questions about
them. She stated the staff needed to have a phone app to translate with the Hispanic residents to make
sure their needs were met. She stated some of the staff used a phone app and ADON F would get a
Hispanic therapist from the therapy department to translate to the residents at times. She stated today
10/16/25 RN B asked what would be the right way to communicate with the Hispanic residents. She stated
yesterday afternoon on 10/15/25, CNA D asked her how should she communicate with the Spanish
speaking residents. She stated telling RN B and CNA D they could use their phone apps just as long as

was not sure if they were using the phone apps on their phones or not. She stated the staff used
communication boards in the Hispanic resident's rooms. She stated she had not done any staff trainings on

stated she did not see any so she added those care plans today 10/26/25 to their care plans. She stated
not properly training the staff to communication with non-English speaking residents could cause mixed
communication resulting in the resident not be able to express their needs effectively. She stated the

the plan to prevent this issue from reoccurring was to get with therapy department and speech therapist to
Inservice the staff. He stated the staff would be in serviced to make sure the staff and residents understood
one another for better communication. He stated the staff needed to be made aware of the communication
boards, get them laminated and use them. He stated the communication boards needed to be put in the

speak English and every time they visited. They stated They would appreciate if the staff spoke Spanish.
They stated Resident #1 told them they wished somebody at the facility spoke more Spanish to her. They
stated talking to Resident #1 in Spanish was a better way for her to communicate her needs. They stated
having a concern about if everything was being done taken care of Resident #1. They stated seeing how
hard it was for the staff to understand Resident #1 and had seen one male staff using a phone but no one
else. They stated Resident #1 liked when a Spanish speaking male staff worked because she could
communicate herself better. They stated Resident #1 was concerned when she had a virus in her stomach

and a half. They stated since Resident #2 admitted they told SW H there needed to be better way to
communicate with Resident #2. They stated they had just had a care plan meeting last week with SW H
and they requested a Spanish speaking Doctor because the one she currently had was not bilingual. They
stated the other facility doctor was not in Resident #2's insurance network. They stated they requested SW
H to get Spanish speaking nurses and CNA's. They stated they put a camera in Resident #2's room
because Resident #2 said the staff did not understand her even though she tried her best to get them to
understand. They stated Resident #2 finally had a Spanish speaking therapist three times a week, who was
good about getting her out of bed and putting the brace on her Right leg. They stated when reviewing
Resident #2's room camera they did not see the staff assisting Resident #2 in the morning with dressing
and getting out of bed to her wheelchair. They stated Resident #2 needed staff assistance because her
hand and foot was weak and she had a right-sided weakness because of a stroke. They stated the facility
had to retrain the staff because they had a high turnover rate which causes more issues. They stated last
Wednesday ADON F and SW H was in Resident #2's Care plan meeting and they told them about how
Resident #2 wanted to be able to express her pain to the staff. They stated they had never seen staff using
any phone apps but when Resident #2 was in the hospital the staff usually used an interpreter screen to
communicate on. They stated it seemed that the staff did what they needed to do caring for Resident #2

the staff get Spanish speaking staff to translate. They stated MA J was good with communicating with
Resident #2 which was good. They stated Resident #2 loved to communicate with MA J but it was limited

questions she just nodded her head even though she was in pain because she did not understand English.

boards but did she not know what happened to them. Record review of the Facility's Care plan policy
undated revealed, PURPOSE: The facility IDT team utilizes the CMS requirements of RAI as policy for
reviewing and revising care plans. Responsible Disciplines IDT members, resident, Resident
Representative STEPS - Care Plan Completion: Care plan completion based on the CAA process is
required for OBRA-required comprehensive assessments. It is not required for non- comprehensive
assessments (Quarterly, SCQA), PPS assessments, Discharge assessments, or Tracking records.
However, the resident's care plan must be reviewed after each assessment, as required by S483.20, except
discharge assessments, and revised based on changing goals, preferences and needs of the resident and
in response to current interventions. After completing the MDS and CAA portions of the comprehensive
assessment, the next step is to evaluate the information gained through both assessment processes in
order to identify problems, causes, contributing factors, and risk factors related to the problems.
Subsequently, the IDT evaluates the information gained to develop a care plan that addresses those
findings in the context of the resident's goals, preferences, strengths, problems, and needs (additional
information is described in detail in Chapter 4 of the CMS RAI manual). The care plan completion date
(item V0200C2) must be either later than or the same date as the CAA completion date (item V0200B2),
but no later than 7 calendar days after the CAA completion date. The MDS completion date (item Z0500B)
must be earlier than or the same date as the care plan completion date. In no event should either date be
later than the established time frames as described in Section 2.6 in the CM RAI Manual. For Annual
assessments, SCSAs, and SCPAs, the process is basically the same as that described with an admission
assessment. NOTE, In these cases, however, the care plan will already be in place. Review of the CAA(s)
when the MDS is complete for these assessment types should raise questions about the need to modify or
continue services and result in either the continuance or revision of the existing care plan. A new care plan
does not need to be developed after each Annual assessment, SCSA, or SCPA type of assessment.
Residents' preferences and goals may change throughout their stay, therefore the IDT should have ongoing
discussions with the resident and resident representative, and staff member, so that changes can be
reflected in the comprehensive care plan. Reference: CMS RAI Manual.
