This is in alignment with the education 100 percent of staff received on 8/10/2023, regarding sexual expression. Close monitoring for sexual expression will allow staff to quickly identify a resident with sexual desires so that staff can immediately begin the facility process for determining consent. 6. Beginning 8/11/2023, the Social Services Director will review daily all nursing notes documented the day before looking for notes that pertain to behaviors, sexual conduct, and abuse. The Social Services Director will assure any new concerns are immediately addressed and care plans updated. 7.

DON will complete daily audit tool daily for 8 weeks ensuring any newly identified behaviors have been addressed and the care plan was updated. 8. The DON will complete a random audit of 10 behavioral care plans per week for 2 weeks and then 5 behavioral care plans for 6 weeks ensuring that appropriate person-centered approaches have been developed. The surveyors validated the corrective actions implemented by the facility through a review of medical records, review of facility documentation, and interviews. The surveyors validated the review and update of all cognitively impaired residents' care plans. The surveyors validated through interviews with the interdisciplinary team members their understanding of the education received on care planning process.
