Care Planning is not my strong suit...when a
resident has a particular like how do you 'care plan' it....would this be a
problem? what would be a reasonable goal?

In MD you can also allow the resident to sleep in the recliner
as described. We had a resident who slept in a recliner for years.
We documented on admission, as well as careplanned that this was her
wish. We never got cited by surveyers.

In the maryland code of regulations 10.07.02.28
D
1) each patient shall be provided with his own bed which shall be at
least 36 inches wide, be substantially constructed and in good repair.
Rollaway type beds, cots or folding beds may not be used.
2) each bed
shall be provided with satisfactory type springs in good repair, and a clean
comfortable mattress, standard size for the bed.
I think the second
item might be a problem if your state has similar
regulations
