Based on staff interview, clinical record review, and facility document review, it was determined that the facility staff failed to maintain a complete and accurate MDS (minimum data set) assessment for two of 49 residents in the survey sample, Residents #120 and #42. The findings include: 1. For Resident #120 (R120), the facility staff failed to code the quarterly MDS assessment with an ARD (assessment reference date) of 2/15/2024 for dialysis.
