The findings included: The facility policy,10-1140 (4/23/18) for Nursing Services Restorative/Maintenance Program specified, the facility shall have a Restorative/Maintenance Program for the purpose of restoring and maintaining optimum level of function for residents at risk. The policy specified the Restorative Care Coordinator shall attend weekly Minimum Data Set (MDS) (a clinical assessment of all residents to assess a resident's functional capabilities) meeting to maintain current communication relating to resident mobility or related problems. Maintain ongoing communication with the interdisciplinary team.

The MDS (Minimum Data Set) admission assessment completed on 3/9/21 noted Resident #17 had functional limitation in range of motion of both upper extremities. Resident #17 required extensive physical assistance of 1 for activities of daily living. Review of the functional maintenance program dated 3/19/21 revealed instructions to provide range of motion (ROM) to bilateral upper and lower extremities during activities of daily living and to keep a rolled cloth in hand for skin integrity. The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) [NAME] (provides direction for care) noted to keep a rolled cloth in hand for skin integrity.
