Failure to Include Resident Representative in Care Planning
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to include the Resident Representative (RR) of a severely cognitively impaired resident in the care planning process. The resident, who was admitted with severe cognitive impairment, had a family member designated as her RR. Review of the medical record showed that the care plan was last revised on 8/18/25, but there was no documentation of care plan meetings, attempts to contact, or conversations with the RR since admission. During a telephone interview, the RR stated he did not recall being invited to any care plan meetings and expressed a desire to be included. The Administrator confirmed that, following the departure of the Social Worker in June 2025, she was responsible for sending care plan meeting invitations but could not provide documentation that the RR had been invited for this resident.
