During an interview on 10/01/2025 at 5:05 p.m., the MDS Coordinator stated Resident #1 was totally dependent on staff for his care and needed help with moving, sitting, etc[TF5] . She stated Resident #1's care plan did not specify what his bed mobility or other ADL requirements were, or the number of staff needed to provide his care. She stated a place holder was added to the care plan, but the care itself was not specified. The MDS Coordinator stated Resident #1's care plan also included spaces for cardiac diet with no interventions because that part of the care plan was not finished. She stated the part that indicated intake more than body requirements was created but an evaluation of the resident's weight and goals were not specified.
