Summary
A plan to address a resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of admission was not created or implemented. The deficiency occurred due to the facility's failure to ensure that a process was in place to assess and meet the immediate needs of newly admitted residents within the required timeframe. This omission resulted in the lack of documented evidence that the resident's urgent needs were identified and addressed promptly after admission.
