The resident's care plan had not been revised to adequately address the recent weight loss that occurred for the resident. -- b) Resident #66 During Stage I of the survey, observations found Resident #66 did not attend any out-of-room activities on 01/24/11 and 01/25/11, and the resident was unable to complete an individual interview with the surveyor due to an inability to understand and respond to the questions asked. A review of the resident's minimum data set (MDS) assessment, with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 05/03/10, found the assessor encoded in Section N (Activity Pursuit Patterns) found the resident was awake in the morning, preferred all activity settlings, and her general activity preferences included crafts, music, spiritual / religious activities, watching TV, and talking or conversing.

She demonstrates difficulty in verbally communicating her needs and interests. Individual intervention such as reading to the resident or sensory stimulation exercises are recommended for her recreation.
