Resident 2 had long fingernails with a brown substance embedded under them; and2. Resident 4 had dirty hands and fingernails with long sharp edges and contained a dark brown substance embedded under them. In addition, Resident 4 was not assisted, asked, or educated on why it was important to perform hand hygiene before eating his lunch meal.These failures had the potential for Resident 2 and Resident 4 to cut their own skin, or the skin of others, which could lead to infection from harboring microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, or fungus) due to poor hand and fingernail hygiene.Findings:1. A review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS -an assessment and care screening tool) dated 1/26/26, indicated, Resident 2 was independent and able to make reasonable decisions for daily decision making. Further review of Resident 2's MDS, indicated Resident 2 needed substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half of the effort) with personal hygiene and mobility (movement of the body). The MDS also indicated Resident 2 was totally dependent (help does all the effort) on staff for bathing/showering. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/11/26 at 8:05 AM, in Resident 2's room, Resident 2 was observed lying in bed. Resident 2's fingernails were observed to be approximately one-quarter inch long with a brown substance accumulated under them. Resident 2 stated he did not like his nails that long and confirmed he had dirt embedded under his nails. Resident 2 stated that he had asked staff to cut his nails for a few weeks, but they had not done it. Resident 2 stated he felt gross eating with dirty fingernails.

CNA 2 stated that CNA's were not allowed to cut residents fingernails. CNA 2 stated the nails could be brushed clean during bathing but that they were not allowed to trim the nails. A review of Resident 2's, Care Plan (a documented and personalized roadmap outlining a resident's health conditions, specific care needs, goals, and interventions) with the focus of Resident 2's skin inflammation, revised 2/4/26, indicated, .Secondary Dermatitis [inflammation of the skin] on Bilateral [both] Legs and Back.[Resident 2's] skin will remain intact, clean and dry with reduction of skin irritation.Educate [Resident 2] and caregivers to avoid scratching. 2. A review of Resident 4's MDS dated [DATE], indicated Resident 4 scored 15 out of 15 a in Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) which indicated Resident 4 was cognitively intact (normal thought process). In addition, a review of Resident 4's MDS dated [DATE], indicated that Resident 4 needed substantial/maximal assistance with showering/bathing and supervision/touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying) during personal hygiene.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/11/26 at 3:49 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON) the fingernails of Resident 2 and Resident 4 were observed. The DON confirmed that both Resident 2 and Resident 4 should have had their nails trimmed either weekly on Sunday or as needed. The DON stated they appeared to not have had their nails trimmed for several weeks or months and confirmed they had brownish black substance under the fingernails. The DON further stated the long, dirty nails did not meet her expectation for hygiene. The DON stated her expectation was that if a resident was a diabetic (a chronic [long-term] condition that affects how the body turns food into energy) she expected the nurse to trim the nails. The DON further stated that the CNA's or LN's do not need an order to trim fingernails unless the doctor specifies, and that it was included in basic hygiene. The DON explained it was her expectation that all residents hands be cleaned prior to eating a meal.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide foot care for one of four sampled residents (Resident 4) when Resident 4 had long, overgrown, and discolored toenails with sharp edges on his left foot, and staff did not follow their facility process and doctors order (a specific actionable instruction given by a healthcare provider for a patients treatment or care) to provide nail care.This failure resulted in Resident 4 not being able to wear a sock or shoe on his left foot due to the pain the long toenails caused. This failure had the potential to affect Resident 4's foot health.Findings:A review of Resident 4's admission record indicated Resident 4 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses that included but not limited to, hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting the left non-dominant side (weakness or total loss of movement on one side of the body) and peripheral vascular disease (a slow progressive circulation disorder involving the narrowing, blockage, or spasms in the blood vessels, mostly commonly affecting the legs).A review of Resident 4's MDS (Minimum Data Set; an assessment tool), dated 12/10/25, indicated Resident 4 scored 15 out of 15 a in Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) which indicated Resident 4 was cognitively intact (normal thought process). A review of Resident 4's MDS dated [DATE], indicated that Resident 4 needed substantial/maximal assistance with showering/bathing and supervision/touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying) during personal hygiene.During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/11/26 at 10:07 AM, in Resident 4's room, Resident 4 was observed to have a sock and shoe on his right foot, but his left foot was bare. Resident 4 was observed with the toenails on his left foot very long and with sharp edges, the length of the toenails extended past the end of his toes.

Resident 4 explained he was told by his Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) and Licensed Nurses (LN) that they could not cut his toenails and that they would have to charge him $50 [fifty dollars] for the service.During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/11/26 at 12:44 PM, CNA 2 confirmed Resident 4 had long, sharp, and discolored toenails on his left foot, and the toenails had not been trimmed for a long time. CNA 2 further stated Resident 4 often refused to let staff cut his nails. CNA 2 explained that when a Resident 4 refused hygiene care they were supposed to let the LN know so they could encourage the resident to cooperate, and then the LN could explain the risks to the resident for refusing nail care. CNA 2 added that only LN could trim toenails, CNA's just report to LN when they need attention, like in Resident 4's case.During an interview on 2/11/26 at 1 PM, LN 1 stated that Podiatry services (specialized medical or surgical care for feet) visited monthly and saw residents that needed toenail care or other foot services. LN 1 further stated Podiatry saw diabetic residents, those with complications to the feet, legs, and residents who requested it. LN 1 stated the Podiatry list was established by LN recommendations from their assessment. LN 1 further stated CNAs would check for skin, foot, and nail concerns during bathing and could also add residents to the podiatry list. LN 1 added that LN's could trim residents toenails with a doctors order. LN 1 explained the Social Services Department maintained the Podiatry list, and all residents could be added. LN 1 further explained that any refusal of services like toenail cutting must be documented in a progress note (a part of a patient's record, documenting their health status, treatment response, and changes during care to track progress, ensure accountability, and facilitate communication among healthcare providers) and the doctor should be notified if the service was ordered and the resident refused care.During an interview on 2/12/26 at 11:16 AM, with the Social Services Director
