Summary
The facility failed to complete the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment within the required 14 days for one resident. Specifically, a review of records showed that the resident was admitted on a certain date, but the admission MDS was not completed until 20 days after admission, exceeding the regulatory timeframe. During an interview, the MDS Coordinator confirmed that the assessment was not completed by the 14th calendar day as required. This deficiency was identified through both interview and record review, and it was noted that such delays could place residents at risk for unidentified or unmet care needs.
