ADLs independently. The findings include: 1.On 07/21/2025 at 11:40 am, Resident #31 was observed lying

Nursing Assistant A, she was asked if she was caring for Residents #31 and #32. She replied, Yes. When
she was asked who was responsible for cleaning and trimming the residents' fingernails, she replied that it
was an Activities event. They do nails on Saturdays; they file and buff them. She was asked who trimmed
the residents' fingernails. She replied, We, the CNAs are not allowed to do that. The nurses trim the nails.
She was asked how she cleaned residents' fingernails. She stated, I don't like to use the orange sticks; I'll
use a washcloth to try to clean under the nails. She was asked to observe Residents #31 and #32's
fingernails. She observed both residents' fingernails and confirmed they both had debris under their nails.
She stated some of Resident #32's fingernails were jagged and unkempt and Resident #31's fingernails
were elongated with debris under the nails. Resident #31was under hospice care. I think they try to clean
her nails but sometimes she refuses. On 07/22/2025 at 2:40 pm during an interview with Licensed Practical
Nurse (LPN) B, she was asked if she was caring for Residents #31 and #32. She stated she was. She was
asked who was responsible for cleaning and trimming residents' fingernails. She stated, Well, mostly the
nurses do fingernails when nails are observed to be long. The CNAs can't trim the diabetics' fingernails;
only nursing can do those. Activities, I think, can file nails; I'm not sure if they can trim them. She was asked
if there was a schedule for fingernail care. She stated, No, there's no schedule. She was asked to observe
Residents #31 and #32's fingernails. She observed Resident #32's fingernails and confirmed that some of
his nails were long and jagged with debris under them. She stated, They shouldn't be jagged because he
could scratch his skin. She observed Resident #31's fingernails and confirmed that they were elongated
with debris under them. LPN B stated, Sometimes she refuses to have them cut, so we try to file them. She
was asked what nursing did if a resident refused to have personal care provided. She stated, We should
document the behavior and let the doctor know. She was asked where she had documented this resident's
refusal of fingernail care. She stated she had not documented it. She was asked which doctor she had
notified. She stated she had not notified the doctor. On 07/22/2025 at 3:00 pm, during a second interview
with LPN B, she stated, I found out that Activities staff can only file nails, they can't trim them. We don't
have specific orders for fingernail care; we just check them as part of our regular care and assessment.
Anyone, nurses and CNAs can file the nails, and they should be cleaned on shower days and also as
needed, but trimming the fingernails is only nursing. She was asked how often Residents #31 and #32 were
scheduled for showers. She replied, Twice a week. On 07/22/2025 at 3:10 pm during an interview with the
Director of Nursing (DON), she was asked what the expectation was for residents' fingernail care, including
cleaning under fingernails and trimming them. She stated this was a part of their daily hygiene. It's very
important for staff to communicate with the residents for their needs. The bath expectation is three times a
week, but they do refuse sometimes. Refusals should be documented. Nails should be cleaned and
trimmed at that time, on shower days. She was asked who was permitted to trim and clean the residents'
fingernails. She stated, The CNAs and the nurses, except CNAs cannot trim diabetics' fingernails. She was
asked if a resident refused this care, was it documented. She stated it should be documented in their POC
(plan of care) system, and they should be care planned for it. A review of the facility's policy and procedure
titled Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) (Effective 3/1/23, Revised 5/21/25) revealed:Policy:The facility will,
based on the resident's comprehensive assessment and consistent with the resident's needs and choices,
ensure a resident's abilities in ADLs do not deteriorate unless deterioration is unavoidable.Care and
services will be provided for the following ADLs:1. Bathing, dressing, grooming, and oral care.Policy
Explanation and Compliance Guidelines:3. A resident who is unable to carry out ADLs will receive the
necessary services to maintain good nutrition, grooming, and personal and oral hygiene.

she was caring for Resident #32. She replied that she was. She was asked if he was expected to be in the
bathroom by himself. She stated, No, he should have staff with him. She was asked about the tube of
Volteran gel in his bathroom which was observed during this interview. She stated, Oh, I think their niece
brought that in when they moved here. She was asked who applied the gel to the resident. She stated, I
don't know, I've never used it. On 07/22/2025 at 2:40 pm during an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse
(LPN) B, she was asked if she was caring for Resident #32. She replied that she was. She was asked if she
knew whose tube of Volteran gel was in Resident #32's bathroom, which was observed in the bathroom
during this interview. She stated, I'm not sure. I don't think either he or his wife have an order for that. They
have a niece. She may have brought it in. She was asked if it should be in the bathroom unattended. She
stated, No, it should be labeled and kept locked in the treatment cart. She picked the tube up and stated,
It's old. The expiration date is August 2023. I didn't even see it there, and I filled up their briefs in their
bathroom this morning. On 07/22/2025 at 3:10 pm during an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON),
