**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, clinical record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the MDS (Minimum Data
Set) assessment accurately reflected the dental status for 1 (Resident #25) of 4 residents reviewed for
accurate dental assessment. Inaccurate MDS assessments could result in a resident not receiving or a
delay in the appropriate health care.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:

Resident #25 said she was admitted to the facility with multiple missing, and broken teeth. She said she
had told multiple nursing staff she would like to have all her teeth extracted so she could get upper and
lower dentures.
Review of the MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool, dated 2/15/24 coded Resident #25's
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score as 14 out of 15. A BIMS score of 13 to 15 meant the resident
was cognitively intact and capable of daily decision making. Section L (Oral/Dental Status) stated Resident
#25 had natural teeth which were not broken, cracked, uncleaned, or loose.
Nursing admission Data Collection and Baseline Care Plan form dated 2/13/24 stated the resident had
natural teeth which were not broken or carious.
On 6/4/24 at 5:58 p.m., during an interview with the Social Service Director (SSD), she said when a
resident is admitted to the facility each department does a full resident assessment, and uses the
information to complete their portion of the admission MDS which is reviewed for accuracy by the MDS
Coordinator.
The SSD said all residents' dental status was assessed and documented on the MDS assessment form. If
a resident's teeth were noted to be missing, broken, cracked and/or discolored the facility staff would
arrange for a dental consult as needed and/or requested by the resident or their legal representative.
The SSD reviewed Resident #25's medical record and confirmed the resident was admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. She said the MDS dated [DATE] and Nursing admission Data Collection dated 2/13/24 noted
Resident #25 had all her natural teeth which were not broken, cracked, unclean, or loose teeth.
On 6/4/24 at 6:30 p.m., the SSD and this surveyor conducted an interview with Resident #25. Resident #25
told the SSD she was admitted to the facility with broken, missing, and cracked teeth and she told multiple
people in nursing she would like her remaining teeth pulled so she could get a full set of dentures. Resident
#25 proceeded to show the SSD her missing, broken, cracked and discolored teeth.
In an interview with the SSD on 6/5/24 at 6:40 p.m., she confirmed Resident had missing, broken, cracked
and discolored teeth. The SSD said the MDS dated [DATE] and Nursing admission Data Collection dated
2/13/24 for Resident #25 were coded incorrectly and did not reflect Resident #25's missing, broken,
cracked, unclean, and/or loose teeth as required.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to provide care and services to prevent a
decline in range of motion for 1(Resident #23) of 3 sampled residents with limited range of motion.
The findings included:
Review of the facility's policy titled, Restorative Nursing Programs with a revision date of October 2017
showed, The facility provides Restorative Nursing Programs that involve interventions to improve or
maintain the optimal physical, mental and psychological functioning. The Interdisciplinary Team (IDT),
resident, and or family identify the needs of the resident, and collaboratively determine appropriate
Restorative Nursing Programs to achieve the resident's goals. The programs include:
Contracture Management and Prevention-This program includes the provision of active, and or passive
range of motion exercises/movements to maintain or improve joint flexibility as well as strength. This
program also involves splint/brace assistance to protect joint and skin integrity.
Combinations to consider that may enhance the Restorative Nursing Process: Passive Range of Motion
(PROM) plus splint/brace assist. PROM/AROM (Active range of motion) plus splint/brace assist.
Review of the clinical record for Resident #23 revealed an admission date of 10/31/23.
The Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with a target date of 2/16/24, and the Quarterly MDS

Both assessments noted Resident #23 did not receive passive or active range of motion or assistance with
brace or splint for at least 15 minutes in the last seven calendar days. Resident #23 did not receive
Occupational Therapy in the seven days preceding the target date.
The care plan initiated on 12/17/2020 and revised on 5/20/24 noted Resident #23 has a risk or actual
limitation in range of motion to bilateral hands as evidenced by risk for contractures (permanent stiffness of
joints). The goal was to improve the range of motion. The interventions included to apply an orthotic device
(splint) to the resident's hands after morning care and remove for care and meals. If the resident removed
the splints, staff was to encourage the resident to maintain the splint application per recommended duration
and inform the resident of the benefits and negative outcomes of removing the splints.
The [NAME] (Provides instructions for care) noted in the Restorative section to apply hand/wrist orthotic
(splint) to bilateral upper extremities in the morning after washing and drying the resident's hands and
remove in the afternoon.

goals did not address the resident's bilateral hand contractures, or the use of splints to prevent further
decline in range of motion of the resident's hands.
On 6/4/24 at 5:56 p.m., in an interview the therapy Program Manager said Resident #23 was not receiving
therapy and had no goals for the bilateral hand contractures.

Resident #45 said she has not seen a dentist or had dentures since her admission to the facility. She said
she would like to have dentures but no one at the facility has ever spoken to her about dentures.
On 6/5/2024 at 4:15 p.m., in an interview Registered Nurse (RN) Staff F said she has been employed at the
facility for approximately four months. The nurses make all the appointments for the residents. She said she
has never seen Resident #45 with dentures and has never spoken to her about her teeth.
On 6/5/2024 at 4:20 p.m., in an interview Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff U said she does not have
enough time to schedule appointments for the residents. She said when she make appointments the
providers' offices will call the day before and cancel the appointment because, they don't take their
insurance.
She said the facility needed to have someone dedicated to making and tracking appointments for the
residents. She said there was no way to track the appointments made as they were not documented
anywhere. LPN Staff U said there was no way to tell which resident needed what services.
On 6/5/24 at 4:45 p.m., a joint interview was conducted with the Interim Administrator, the Director of
Nursing (DON), and the new Administrator.
The DON said the Social Service department only arranges for in-house dentistry. The nurses make all
other appointments. All appointments are documented on the Medication Administration Record. The DON
said if Resident #45 saw the dentist, the dental notes should be in the hard chart. She said she could not
find documentation of dental appointments in the clinical record of Resident #45. She said someone should
have asked the resident if she wanted or needed to see a dentist.
The new Administrator said, Having teeth makes you feel better. It probably should have been addressed
before now if even for her dignity.
No additional documentation related to assisting Resident #45 with appointments for evaluation for
dentures was provided as requested during the survey.
3. Review of the clinical record for Resident #94 revealed an admission date of 11/1/23.
The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with an assessment reference date of 11/8/23 noted

The interventions noted Resident #94 was independent with oral care daily and as needed, brush teeth,
clean gums with toothette (disposable oral care swabs), rinse mouth with wash.
Staff was to encourage the resident to observe and report broken/chip denture/teeth, bleeding, pain and
mouth sores and report to the nurse.
Residents Affected - Some
The care plan did not reflect the resident's dental status and interventions to address the resident's broken
upper teeth.
On 6/5/24 at 10:40 a.m., in an interview Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff K, Unit Manager, said she
would notify the physician and schedule a dental visit if a resident had dental issues.
They would reassess the mouth for pain with chewing and swallowing.
On 6/5/24 at approximately 10:45 a.m., LPN Staff K was observed asking Resident #94 if she had any pain
or chewing issues. Resident #94 said she would like her teeth fixed but was concerned about the cost.
LPN Staff K said she would schedule a speech evaluation and find out from the Social Service Director
about the resident seeing a dentist.
On 6/5/24 at 1:15 p.m., Licensed Practical Nurse Staff M observed Resident #94's mouth and verified
Resident #94's front upper teeth were broken at the gum line.
When asked about the broken upper front teeth, Resident #94 said, They have been bad for a long time. In
an interview Staff M reviewed the resident's clinical record and said there were no issues with the resident's
teeth when she completed the admission MDS.
Staff M verified the care plan was not updated to reflect the resident's dental status. She said she was not
consistent in asking each resident about their dental status and only documented if a resident complained
about dental issues.
