F 0677 Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure that residents who were unable to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs) received necessary services to maintain good grooming and personal hygiene for two (Residents #48 and #19) of three residents reviewed for ADL care from a total survey sample of 46 residents. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: 1. A review of Resident #48's medical record revealed an admission date of 09/01/23 with diagnoses including Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), acute chronic diastolic (congestive) hear failure, muscle weakness (generalized), pleural effusion, legal blindness, end stage renal disease (ESRD), hyperthyroidism, arteriosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and hypertension. On 11/05/24 at 10:20 AM, an observation was made of Resident #48's fingernails which were long with brown matter underneath. (photographic evidence obtained) On 11/07/24 at 8:56 AM, an observation was made of Resident #48's fingernails which remained long with brown matter underneath. (photographic evidence obtained) A review of Resident #48's annual minimum data set (MDS) assessment, dated 08/05/24, revealed that he had a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 15 out of 15 possible points, indicating intact cognition. No hallucinations or delusions were documented, no physical or verbal behavioral symptoms directed towards others, and no rejection of care or wandering behaviors were documented. An interview with the resident for daily preferences or daily activities was not documented. The resident had no impairment of the upper or lower extremities; required supervision or touching assistance with eating and oral hygiene; required substantial/maximum assistance with toileting, shower/bathing, upper and lower body dressing, and putting on/taking off footwear and personal hygiene. He required substantial/maximum assistance with mobility. He did not receive scheduled or as needed (prn) pain medications. A review of Resident #48's care plan documented a focus area for Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Performance Deficit related to activity intolerance and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The care plan goal was to improve the current level of function in at least one of the resident's ADLs by the next review date. The care plan interventions included provision of personal hygiene and oral care. The resident required staff participation with personal hygiene and oral care. The date the intervention was created was documented as 9/13/2022. On 11/07/24 at 9:02 AM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) A was interviewed and reported that she Page 1 of 10 105366 105366 11/07/2024 Vivo Healthcare University 3648 University Blvd S Jacksonville, FL 32216

F 0677 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few had worked at the facility for two months. She explained that she made care rounds every two hours. During care rounds, she would make a visual head-to-toe check of residents assigned to her. The visual head-to-toe check included looking at fingernail length and condition. The process for completing her rounds began with checking the resident's vital signs and providing breakfast. After breakfast, she provided ADL care, gave her assigned residents a shower, and got them ready for therapy. She explained that she was familiar with Resident #48 and his care needs. He was blind and received eye drops. She stated she had not clipped the resident's fingernails because there had been no access to nail clippers for some time. The nail clippers were usually located in the clean utility room and the person in charge of supplies said nail clippers were on backorder. She stated nails extending approximately a half a centimeter beyond the nail bed were considered too long and could be considered a scratching hazard. At 9:11 AM, CNA A was accompanied to the resident's room. She observed the resident's fingernails and reported that they were too long and looked like weapons. On 11/07/24 at 9:12 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) B was interviewed and reported that he had worked at the facility for three months. He explained that nurses were responsible for conducting a head-to-toe skin assessment of residents once a week, which included looking at fingernail length. Residents also received a skin assessment when they received either a bed bath or shower two times per week, which included looking at fingernail length. He stated he always carried fingernail clippers in his pocket, kept a supply of clippers in a drawer at the nurses' station, and also in his personal work desk. Fingernail clippers could also be found in the clean utility room. If CNAs could not locate fingernail clippers in those areas, they could ask their nurse or go to the central supply room to obtain a pair. He also instructed CNAs to take fingernail clippers with them when they provided bed baths and showers. LPN B stated nail length that was considered as excessive was subjective. He made sure to first ask the resident of the fingernail length they preferred. Some male and female residents did not mind long fingernails. For his non-verbal residents, he ensured fingernail length was short enough to prevent them from scratching themselves. On 11/07/24 at 9:19 AM, LPN B was accompanied to Resident #48's room. He observed the length of the resident's fingernails and stated Resident #48's fingernails were excessively long. LPN B reviewed a nursing progress note dated 10/28/24 (10 days prior to this interview), which documented that a skin check was completed and the resident's nails were cleaned and clipped. LPN B stated the resident's fingernails could not have been cleaned and clipped on the documented date because the fingernails could not have grown to their present length within 10 days. On 11/07/24 at 9:24 AM, an observation was made of two pairs of fingernail clippers in a desk drawer at the east nursing station. On 11/07/24 at 9:26 AM, CNA C was interviewed and reported that she had worked at the facility for 17 years. She was responsible for stocking the main central supply room and the east and west wing clean utility rooms. She displayed five boxes of small, medium and large nail clippers in the main central supply room, each box containing 24 clippers. The main supply room also had a large plastic bag full of various sizes of fingernail clippers. She said that she stocked the clean utility rooms with various items, including fingernail clippers two or three times a week and reported that CNAs could not say that they could not clip fingernails because they did not have supplies. 2. A review of Resident #19's medical record revealed an admission date of 1/21/2020 with diagnoses including a contracted right hand, need for assistance with personal care, cognitive communication disorder, other symptoms involving the musculoskeletal system, other cervical disc displacement, tremors, unspecified dementia, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety. 105366 Page 2 of 10 105366 11/07/2024 Vivo Healthcare University 3648 University Blvd S Jacksonville, FL 32216

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on observations, record reviews, interviews, and a review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure that the resident environment remained as free of accident hazards as was possible for one (Resident #72) of one resident reviewed for accident hazards out of 46 residents in the total survey sample. Medicated ointments in plastic medication cups were left at the resident's bedside. Resident #72 had not been assessed for capability of self-administering/applying medicated ointments. No self-administration assessment was found in the record or provided by the facility during the survey. No care plan was located in the record indicating that the resident was capable of safely self-administering medications/medicated ointments. The findings include: On 11/04/24 at 10:43 AM, two medication cups were observed on the resident's bedside table. (photographic evidence obtained) An interview was conducted with the resident at the time of this observation, who reported that the cups contained her medications, which were the two creams she applied to both her hands for psoriasis. She stated, The nurse brought them in here and left them over there. I usually put them on myself. On 11/05/24 at 10:28 AM, two medications cups were observed on the bedside table. (photographic evidence obtained ) An interview was conducted with the resident at the time of the observation, who confirmed that the cups contained creams she applied to her hands and they were not the same ones from the previous day. On 11/07/24 9:33 AM, two medication cups were observed on the bedside table (photographic evidence obtained) An interview was conducted with the resident at the time of the observation, who confirmed that the two cups containing medicated creams were left over from the previous day. A review of Resident #72's medical record revealed an admission date of 02/03/23 with diagoses including encephalopathy, need for assistance with personal care, other signs and symptoms involving cognitive function and awareness, and psoriasis. No Medication Self-Administration Assessment form was located in the resident's record.
