Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure staff revised the care plan for 3 (R #4 and R #7) of 4 (R #4, R #7, R #26, and R #55) residents reviewed when staff failed to:1. Revise R #4's care plan to:-Include use of a camera in R #4's room,-Include appropriate interventions for falls,-Include the changes in R #4's diet,-Remove the use of oxygen therapy,2.
