What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow the facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Charting and Documentation, by failing to have complete documentation for one of three sampled residents (Resident 2). Resident 2 was found with purplish discoloration (any alteration in the skin's color, texture, or pigmentation) on the right great toe. This deficient practice resulted in not providing complete information about how Resident 2 sustained the purplish discoloration on the right great toe which had the potential to put Resident 2 ' s safety at risk. Findings: During a review of Resident 2 ' s admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 2 on 2/2/2023, and readmitted Resident 2 on 12/11/2024, with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing), acute kidney failure (when the kidneys suddenly cannot filter waste products from the blood), and chronic systolic (congestive) heart failure (when the heart cannot pump blood well enough to give the body a normal supply). During a review of Resident 2 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS – a resident assessment tool), dated 3/4/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2 was usually understood by others and had the ability to usually understand others. The MDS indicated Resident 2 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) on staff for toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, lower body dressing, and putting on/taking off footwear. During a review of Resident 2 ' s eINTERACT Change in Condition Evaluation (CIC), dated 2/3/2025, timed at 9:30 am, the CIC indicated Resident 2 had purplish discoloration to the right great toe. The CIC indicated there was no documentation about how Resident 2 got the discoloration on the right great toe. During a review of Resident 2 ' s Progress Notes (PN) for the month of February 2025, the PN indicated there was no documentation about how Resident 2 got the discoloration on the right great toe. During an interview on 3/18/2025 at 2:02 pm, with the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated Resident 2 hit Resident 2 ' s right foot on something (unknown) during shower day. LVN 1 stated a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) (unknown), reported the incident to LVN 1 and LVN 1 did the skin assessment (a comprehensive evaluation of the skin, nails, and hair to identify any abnormalities or signs of disease, infection, or injury) of Resident 2 ' s right foot.
