Activities for Resident-Centered Care: Complying with F-Tags #248 and #249

Debbie Ohl, RN, LNHA

Newly revised CMS activities F-tags #248 and #249 mean your facility must go beyond one-size-fits-all activities and focus on individual needs assessment. But understanding and complying with these challenging new regulations isn’t easy. That’s where we come in—Activities for Resident-Centered Care will help you provide activities each resident finds enjoyable as well as help you avoid survey deficiencies.

Gain a clear understanding of the relationship between regulatory requirements and activity programming, as well as the role of the MDS in activity planning with Activities for Resident-Centered Care. Not only does this reference manual cover the assessment and care planning process, but it also provides the most up-to-date changes to the recently revised CMS activities F-Tags.

The accompanying CD-ROM features helpful forms and policies that are easy to modify, print, or fill out, including:

• quality assessment tools
• activities calendars
• activity assessments
