The resident was observed lying in bed, observed multiple long fingernails with brown matter under the nails. An additional observation was made on 11/1/22 at approximately 4:06 PM. The resident's family member was at the bedside and noted the fingernails continued to be long, and dirty, and stated she wants the nails to be trimmed, but doesn't know how to get that done. The fingernail on the forefinger of the right hand was broken to the quick. The family member lifted the sheet to expose the resident's feet. The toenails on both feet were long, thick and yellow and the nails on the left 2nd and 3rd toes were rolled under, embedded in the skin. The nail on the left 5th toe was long, thick, and yellow.

She further stated the CNAs are not allowed to trim the toenails at all. Staff H observed the nails in the surveyor's presence and confirmed the 5th digit on the right hand had brown matter under the nail, and measured the nail as 0.5 centimeters (cm) past the tip of the finger, the left thumb nail had brown matter under the nail, was jagged and measured 0.5 cm beyond the tip of the finger, the forefinger of the left hand was greater than 0.5 cm beyond the end of the fingertip.
