Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive hospice care plan for a resident with chronic congestive heart failure who was enrolled in hospice care. Clinical record review showed that the resident had physician orders for hospice evaluation and treatment, and was documented as being on hospice services for a defined period. Despite this, there was no hospice care plan with measurable interventions and timetables found in the resident's clinical records. Staff interviews confirmed that the resident had been receiving hospice care, but no corresponding care plan was created to address the resident's hospice needs.
