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
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that one (Resident #25) of 42
sampled residents, who was unable to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs), received the necessary
services to maintain good grooming and personal hygiene.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
A review of Resident #25's medical record revealed he had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score
of 10 out of a possible 15 points, indicating moderate cognitive impairment. There were no documented
behaviors, bathing was noted as very important to him, and he required extensive assistance with his
ADLs, including personal hygiene (combing hair, brushing teeth, shaving, and washing/drying face and
hands).
On 10/18/22 at 10:13 AM, Resident #25 was observed with a contracture of the right hand and appeared to
be immobile on his right side. Upon further observation it was noted that his fingernails were long with a
dark brown substance beneath them. (Photographic evidence obtained) He was unshaven. When asked if
he preferred his fingernails long, he stated he would like them trimmed and would also like a shave.
A review of the care plan dated 8/7/2022 revealed that Resident #25 was a vulnerable resident who was at
risk for abuse based on his need for assistance with transfers, toileting, transport, dressing, and other
ADLs. The plan included ADL goals, which stated the resident should be clean, dry, and well groomed with
assistance from staff, including assistance from staff for personal hygiene and oral care.
Review of a Personal Hygiene task completion form, revealed that on a 30-day look-back period from
9/20/2022 through 10/19/2022, the resident was totally dependent requiring full staff performance for
personal hygiene. Documentation indicated this was not performed on the following dates: 9/27/2022,
10/2/2022, 10/3/2022, 10/7/2022, 10/11/2022, 10/16/2022, 10/18/2022, and 10/19/2022.
On 10/19/2022 at 8:52 AM, Resident #25 was observed with very long fingernails with dark brown debris
beneath them. A full beard remained as well. Resident #25 reiterated that he had informed the facility that
he would like to have his nails trimmed and cleaned, along with a clean shave.
On 10/20/2022 at 10:28 AM, Resident #25 was again observed with dark brown debris beneath his
fingernails. He remained unshaven.
An interview was conducted with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) A on 10/20/2022 at 10:32 AM, who

stated she had been working at the facility for six years as an Agency CNA, and more recently (over the
last three weeks) she had been working here more often. She stated orientation training was conducted at
the facility which included resident hygiene, documentation of tasks, appointments, CPR (cardiopulmonary
resuscitation), falls, and personal hygiene. When asked about resident showers, she said showers were
generally conducted on the 7A-3P and 3P-11P shifts, and shower sheets had to be signed and filled out to
show the task had been completed. When asked to talk through the process of cleaning the residents, she
said she would first wake the resident, help if needed to brush their teeth and get them ready to eat
breakfast. She would wait for approximately 30 minutes after the meal so they could digest their food, and
then she would shower the resident which usually occurred between 9:00 AM and 9:30 AM. During the
showering process, she said she would look for skin redness, signs of injury, skin tears or anything
abnormal, and she would notify the nurse of such things. She added that she would make sure the
residents were clean shaven, toe nails and fingernails were trimmed and clean, and ensure the residents'
eyes were clean. If the nails did need trimming, she would let the nurse know, because CNAs could not trim
or cut the nails, only clean them.
An interview was conducted with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) B, Unit Manager, on 10/20/2022 at10:43
AM, who stated personal hygiene training was provided, and she expected the CNAs to attempt to shower
the residents as cleanliness was important. She continued, stating she expected residents not to have
soiled hair, and for the CNAs to do their best to keep the residents clean paying close attention to perineal
care, washing and cleaning fingernails, have podiatry trim toenails, and make a full-body observation from
head to toe. She stated if toenails need trimming, this need was placed in the Podiatry book. When asked
who trimmed residents' fingernails, she stated fingernails were done by the Activities Department staff.
They had what was called a manicure day every Tuesday and on an as needed basis. When she was asked
how it was known whether or not a resident needed fingernail or toenail care, she said she would know
based on a visual assessment, if the resident verbalized it themselves, or through notification by the CNA.
Activities Director C was interviewed on 10/20/2022 at 11:08 AM in reference to residents' fingernail and
toenail care. she stated she had been employed by the facility for 15 years. She had a CNA license and
would help with tasks such as fingernail care. She stated the facility had what they called Fancy Fingers
activities on Thursdays, and this consisted of manicures, fingernail cleaning, nail trimming and filing, and if
the resident wished, the nails would be polished. When asked about toenail care, she said her team would
place information inside the Podiatrist book and the Podiatrist came to the facility on Fridays to take of the
residents' feet.
On 10/20/2022 at 11:24 AM, an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed that if residents
needed assistance with ADLs, it would be listed on the [NAME] (brief paper-based summary of a resident's
needs). If a resident needed or wanted a bath/shower, there were shower sheets that would indicate who
needed showers on certain days. When asked about her expectations of staff for the provision of ADL care
and personal hygiene, she said she expected showers to be given in a timely manner and CNAs to do a
minimum of two-hour rounds, change residents in a timely manner, assist with brushing teeth, washing
faces, combing hair, and skin observation. She further stated along with the skin observation, there should
be no new bruising or skin tears/lacerations, and if something like that was observed, the CNA should
report it to the nurse or herself (DON). When asked about CNA roles and capabilities when providing
personal hygiene as it relates to fingernails, she stated, CNAs can clean, file, and paint fingernails but no
cutting or trimming. Nurses are allowed to cut/trim fingernails, and toenail care is left for the podiatrist. She
further stated her nurses should be observing as well That's their job and they should be doing weekly
checks. When asked if this was just for women, she
