Summary
The facility failed to update the care plan for one of three sampled residents, specifically neglecting to include a diagnosis and interventions for breast cancer after a physician consultation identified this condition. The facility's policy requires that comprehensive, person-centered care plans be developed and revised as residents' conditions change, including after significant changes such as a new diagnosis. Despite this, the most recent care plan for the resident did not reflect the cancer diagnosis or any related interventions. Both the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed during interviews that the care plan lacked the necessary updates, in contradiction to facility policy.
