Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a Baseline care plan within 48 hours of admission for a resident requiring hemodialysis treatments. Record review showed that the resident, admitted with diagnoses including Atherosclerotic Heart Disease, Dementia, and End Stage Renal Disease, did not have a Baseline care plan completed or provided to them or their responsible party, as required. The resident was receiving hemodialysis three times a week. During an interview, the DON confirmed that the Baseline care plan was missing from the clinical record and could not provide a reason for the omission.
