Summary
The facility failed to complete a baseline care plan within 48 hours of admission for one resident who was admitted with severe protein-calorie malnutrition, repeated falls, and depression. Record review showed there was no documentation of a baseline care plan for this resident within the required timeframe. During interviews, the administrator confirmed that the facility follows the RAI manual for care plans, and the MDS coordinator acknowledged that the baseline care plan was not completed within 48 hours because they were behind on them.
