Upon a new admission, a baseline care plan will be developed by the admitting nurse/nurses in conjunction with other IDT, the patient/resident and or patient/resident representative. The baseline care plan should be initiated in 24 hours and will be completed and implemented within 48 hours of admission.

The comprehensive care plan should describe the following: the services to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental and psychological well-being.
