Summary
The facility failed to implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for a resident with a cardiac pacemaker. The clinical record review revealed that the resident had a medical history that included a surgically implanted cardiac pacemaker, as noted in a physician's order dated July 2, 2021. However, upon review of the resident's clinical record on April 1, 2025, it was found that no care plan had been developed to address the pacemaker or the necessary monitoring and assessment associated with it. This deficiency was confirmed by the Director of Nursing during a meeting with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on April 2, 2025, and again on April 3, 2025.
