Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a care plan intervention for tracheostomy self-care was included for a resident with a tracheostomy. On April 7, 2025, the resident was observed with a tracheostomy, and a review of their treatment administration record from March 1 to March 31, 2025, indicated a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of the lung. However, the resident's care plan did not address self-care for their tracheostomy. On April 8, 2025, the MDS coordinator confirmed that the self-care aspect should have been included in the care plan. The DON also acknowledged that the resident's self-care for their tracheostomy should have been care planned.
