Based on observations, record review, interview and facility policy review, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set (MDS) was accurate and complete to facilitate the ability to plan and provide necessary care and services for three (Residents #4, #17 and #64) of three residents reviewed. The findings include:Resident #4Review of an admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident #4 with diagnoses that included atherosclerotic heart disease (a buildup of fats and cholesterol in the artery walls, leading to narrowed or hardened arteries) and cerebral infarction (a stroke caused by blockage in an artery supplying blood to the brain).Review of a quarterly MDS with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 02/09/2026 for Resident #4 revealed that the resident was taking medications that included an anticoagulant (medication that prevents or reduces the formation of blood clots) and an antiplatelet (medication that prevents blood platelets from sticking together.
