F 0676 Ensure residents do not lose the ability to perform activities of daily living unless there is a medical reason. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, record review and staff interview the facility failed to ensure they applied and removed an AFO (ankle-foot orthosis) device for 1 (Resident #66) of 1 out of 6 residents coded as having an AFO. The use of an AFO is to improve standing, transfers, and/or walking patterns by reducing, preventing, or limiting the movement of the lower leg and foot and by supporting weak muscles. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: On 10/03/23 at 9:10 a.m., Resident #66 was observed sitting in her wheelchair in the doorway to her room. During the observation, Resident #66 was noted to be dragging her right foot and her right arm and her hand appeared to be contracted. Resident #66 stated she had a cerebral vascular accident (CVA) causing her weakness on the right side of her body. She said she used to have a right foot splint, but therapy took it away a long time ago and she didn't know why. Review of Resident #66's medical record revealed diagnoses included a medical history of Multiple Sclerosis (disorder marked by decreased nerve function), Hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body), and Hemiparesis (weakness of one side of the body) following a Cerebral Infarction affecting the Right Dominant Side, Weakness, Unsteadiness on Feet, and a History of Falls. Resident #66's plan of care, dated 1/9/23 and revised 9/7/23, noted the resident had an activity of daily living (ADL) self-care performance deficit related to the disease process of Multiple Sclerosis, Vision Impairment, and Right Lower Leg/Extremity (RLE) Impairment and wore an AFO. Under interventions, it stated staff was to assist the resident with applying and removing the RLE AFO daily. The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)'s plan of care ([NAME]) for Resident #66, noted in the Resident Care section to assist Resident #66 with applying and removing her RLE AFO daily and observe for discoloration and bruising at least daily. On 10/4/23 at 9:15 a.m., CNA Staff K, said she was normally assigned to work with Resident #66. She said Resident #66 was independent but due to CVA she was very weak on her right side and had an unsteady gait. She said she had never seen or applied any splinting device to Resident #66's right foot. She said she was never told or aware the CNA's [NAME] stated they had to assist Resident #66 with applying and removing her RLE AFO daily and check for any discoloration to her leg. On 10/4/23 at 9:30 a.m., the Rehabilitation Director, said she had conducted an Occupational Therapy (OT) evaluation on Resident #66 on 9/7/23 because the resident was referred to them due to worsening vision, falls, decreased strength, impaired endurance, anxious behaviors and decreased quality of life. She said via her OT evaluation of Resident #66, she determined to start OT sessions with (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, review of the clinical record, review of the facility policies and procedures, and staff interviews the facility failed to develop and implement a program of meaningful activities to meet the needs of 6 of 16 residents in the memory care unit. The facility failed to implement meaningful individualized activities to meet the interest and wellbeing of 1 (Resident #58) of 1 resident in the memory unit sampled for individualized activities. The lack of an individualized activity program has the potential to cause social isolation, boredom, agitation, and frustration. Residents Affected - Some The findings included: The facility policy, MC-200 Activity-Intensive Program effective date 11/30/14 (revised 3/19/19) documented, A structured activity intensive program shall be the focus of the memory care unit to minimize the confusion residents with dementia and related disorders experience as they attempt to cope with difficulties in short term memory, attention span, comprehension, learning, conceptualization, judgment, reasoning, abstract thought, perception and psychosocial well-being . Procedure: The activity intensive program shall provide a minimum of 12 hours per day, 84 hours per week of structured activity programming . A review of the clinical record revealed Resident #58 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnosis including dementia, anxiety, and major depressive disorder. The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) (standardized assessment tool that measures health status in nursing home residents) with an assessment reference date of 7/6/23 documented Resident #58's cognitive skills for daily decision making were severely impaired. The care plan initiated on 9/30/21 and revised on 7/11/23 documented Resident #58 was dependent on staff for meeting emotional, intellectual, physical, and social needs related to cognitive deficits.

There was no group or individual activity in progress and no music playing. Residents Affected - Some On 10/4/23 at 8:23 a.m., Registered Nurse (RN) Staff D said there were no activities provided to the Memory Care Unit residents. Staff D said the unit used to have an activity aide who was wonderful, but she was no longer here. Staff D said, The CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) try to do little things for the residents, but they have patient care to do and can only do so much. I have not seen the Activity Director come back here to do any activities during the day when I am working. On 10/4/23 at 8:36 a.m., CNA Staff A said, No one comes to the memory care unit to do activities. We have this large activity calendar on the wall and, if we have time, we do something with the residents. The residents back here are not able to do most of the things on the calendar, they use the same one as the main unit and the activities listed, most of the residents are not able to do. We are not allowed to take the residents from the unit for the general activities in the main area of the facility. The CNA said, The calendar says to do news at 9:00 a.m. The residents don't read the newspaper and if I try, they can't participate. Karaoke is at 10:00 a.m., today but they don't have the equipment here and the residents can't read along. On 10/4/23 at 9:01 a.m., the Activity Director (AD) said she tries to go back to the unit as often as she can, but with the COVID outbreak on the unit it is harder. The AD said she was the only activity person for the facility and the CNAs were to provide the activities on the Memory Care Unit. The AD said she goes back to the unit daily to ensure the activities are being provided. The AD said she does not place individual activity calendars in resident rooms because the residents cannot read it. The AD said she only placed a large calendar on the unit wall by the television (TV). The AD said she had provided education to all the staff who work on the memory care unit on how to do each activity and said everything is on the unit for the activities. The AD said she makes sure the CNAs are providing the activities and completing the charting. The AD provided a copy of the same general population calendar for the Dementia residents, and said the calendar was the same one used for the Memory Care Unit residents. On 10/4/23, during observation of the Memory Care Unit from 10:00 a.m. to 10:27 a.m., Resident #58 remained at the table facing a wall with no activity in progress. The Calendar specified Karaoke at 10:00 a.m. No music was playing. No activity of any kind was in progress. On 10/4/23 at 10:20 a.m., CNA Staff B said there was no Karaoke machine on the unit. Staff B said she had not received in-service education on providing activities on the unit and said, The residents wander, and you have to stop and redirect them frequently, you can't be in two places at the same time, and we can't do our patient care and do activities at the same time. On 10/4/23 at 10:31 a.m., during observation in the main dining room of the general population, Karaoke was in progress. No residents from the memory care unit were in attendance. The Activity Director was present. On 10/4/23 at 11:03 a.m., an observation on the Memory Care Unit, one resident was wandering the halls, three residents were in the dining room unattended.

One resident was wandering in the dining room. The CNAs were observed providing toileting and care to the residents. On 10/4/23 at 2:03 p.m., RN Staff D said, The Activity Director came back here this afternoon and told the staff they were to do nail care, I told her we had no supplies back here on the unit. The AD left and returned with a caddy that had a few nail polishes in it. On 10/4/23 at 2:16 p.m., CNA Staff B said no one from activities had come to the unit to provide nail care. The CNA said, if we have time, we try and do an activity with the residents, but we are always busy. On 10/4/23 at 2:22 p.m., CNA Staff A said, We toilet everyone back here every two hours, I take that very seriously. If they need to be changed or put to bed, I do it. My main concern is with the resident's care and if I have time, I don't mind doing the activity with them. I love to spend time with them doing appropriate activities for them but some days there is no time. On 10/5/23 at 8:30 a.m., the Activity Director confirmed the activity calendar for the Memory Care Unit was the same as the general population and the residents did not leave the secured unit to attend activities in the main area of the facility. The Activity Director said the residents like Karaoke, and they sing along to it but confirmed the activity did not occur on the memory unit as listed on the calendar. The Activity Director said she was aware the residents on the Memory Care Unit required activities to meet their cognitive level and said she was doing her best, but she was the only person in the facility for activities.
