Summary
The facility failed to maintain an up-to-date system for ensuring that a resident's Hospice Binder contained the most recent Hospice Plan of Care. Specifically, for one resident who was admitted to the facility and receiving hospice services from a local agency, the only Plan of Care available in the Hospice Binder was from a previous certification period and had expired. During an interview, the Director of Nursing confirmed that the current Plan of Care was not present in the binder and acknowledged that it should have contained the most recent and up-to-date documentation.
