Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to determine and document what actions or interventions were needed for changes of condition, including resident-specific instructions communicated to staff on each shift, and weekly progress noted until the condition resolved for 3 of 4 sampled residents (#s 2, 3 and 5) who had changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 07/2023, with diagnoses including Multiple Sclerosis, congestive heart failure, and hypertension.Review of Resident 2's progress notes, dated 03/25/24 through 06/25/24, revealed the resident experienced the following changes of condition:* On 04/05/24, Resident 2 experienced an episode where s/he was nauseated, "dry heaved", and was pale. The resident also stated s/he had not had a bowel movement in five days; and* On 06/10/24, staff reported the urine in Resident 2's suprapubic catheter bag appeared "cloudy and concentrated".The facility failed to document monitoring of Resident 2's medical changes of condition, at least weekly, to resolution, and failed to determine actions or interventions needed, and communicate them to staff on each shift. On 06/27/24, the need to ensure the facility had a system for monitoring changes of condition, with weekly progress noted, to resolution, and to determine actions or interventions needed, and communicate those to staff on each shift was discussed with Staff 1 (Business Office Coordinator), Staff 3 (Health and Wellness Coordinator) and Staff 7 (Designee).
