Summary
The facility failed to complete a Significant Change in Status Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for a resident who was admitted to hospice services. The resident, who had diagnoses including dementia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, was admitted to hospice with Alzheimer's disease with late onset.

During an interview, the facility's Administrator confirmed that the assessment should have been completed within fourteen days of the resident's admission to hospice, but it was not done.
