Summary
The facility failed to implement a comprehensive, person-centered care plan for one resident with age-related macular degeneration and muscle weakness. Review of the facility's policy indicated that each resident should have a care plan with measurable goals and timetables addressing all identified needs. However, clinical record review showed that, despite physician orders and outpatient consults for eye treatments related to macular degeneration, there was no care plan addressing the resident's vision issues or related treatments. This omission was confirmed during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator.
