Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a care plan addressing hospice care for one resident who had been admitted to hospice. Record review showed that the resident, who had diagnoses including unspecified dementia, psychotic disturbance, anxiety, and senile degeneration of the brain, was admitted to hospice per physician's orders. However, the comprehensive plan of care did not include any problems or approaches related to hospice care. This omission was confirmed during interviews with both an LPN and the DON, who acknowledged that a hospice plan of care should have been initiated when the resident was placed on hospice.
