Failure to Conduct and Document Resident Care Plan Meetings
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to routinely conduct care plan meetings and invite residents or their responsible parties to participate in the development and implementation of person-centered care plans. Review of facility policy indicated that residents and/or their responsible parties should be given the opportunity to review and participate in care plan conferences. However, for two residents reviewed, there was no documented evidence that such meetings were held or that invitations were extended to the residents or their responsible parties. One resident, who was able to understand and communicate and required assistance with activities of daily living due to Parkinson's disease, reported that neither she nor her responsible party had been invited to care plan meetings. Another resident, who was cognitively impaired and required assistance due to dementia with behavioral disturbances, also had no documentation of care plan meetings or invitations. Facility leadership confirmed that care plan meetings were not being held at least quarterly as required.
