Summary
The facility failed to develop an individualized, person-centered care plan addressing smoking for a resident who was admitted with a history of tobacco use and intact cognition. The resident's admission MDS assessment documented tobacco use, but review of the active care plan revealed no interventions or focus related to smoking. Observations confirmed that the resident independently and safely smoked in the designated area, and interviews with facility staff, including the MDS Coordinator, DON, and Administrator, verified that the omission of a smoking care plan was an oversight and not addressed until after it was identified during the survey.
