Skilled nursing facilities are serving increasingly diverse resident populations, and CMS surveyors are paying close attention to whether care planning reflects that diversity. Our latest newsletter looks at what culturally competent care requires under the State Operations Manual, Appendix PP, from resident self-determination to the CLAS Standards for language access, staff training documentation, and QAPI review.
To help your team put this into practice, we're giving away a free Culturally Competent Care Plan tool, a ready-to-use resource for documenting each resident's cultural, religious, and linguistic preferences as part of individualized care planning.
