F 0677 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 Based on observation, review of the clinical record, family and staff interviews, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to maintain hygiene for 1 (Resident #4) of 4 sampled residents who required assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). Residents Affected - Few The findings included: Clinical record review revealed a Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with a target date of 2/9/22 which documented Resident #4's diagnoses included Parkinson's disease and had upper extremity impairment on one side. Resident #4 required extensive physical assistance of one staff for hygiene, and limited physical assistance of one staff for bathing. The assessment documented Resident #4 scored an 8 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status, indicative of moderate cognitive impairment. The care plan initiated on 5/24/21 noted Resident #4 required assistance with ADLs, including assistance of one staff for bathing. Interventions included showers, check nail length, clean and trim on bath days as necessary. On 5/10/22 at 10:23 a.m., during a phone interview Resident #4's family member, said he reported care concerns to the facility staff. The family member said Resident #4 was not receiving scheduled showers, staff were not trimming her fingernails and cleaning her left hand. He said the residents' nails were long and dirty, especially the left hand which had a contracture (tightening of the muscles and tendons that cause the joints to become stiff). He said he filed two grievances with the facility regarding the same concerns and had verbally reported his concerns to the Director of Nursing (DON). A review of the facility Grievance/Complaint Report showed a grievance dated 2/16/22 in which Resident #4's family member stated the resident's contracted hand needed to be cleaned better and her nails needed to be cut on an ongoing basis. The grievance form documented the family complained they have made this request before and have not seen an improvement. A grievance dated 4/7/22 for Resident #4 documented the family had strong concerns about care when visiting this week. They observed that resident's fingernails were filthy, hands smelled, nails were very long with crud under them, teeth looked like they hadn't been brushed in a long time, body odor . On 5/10/22 at 1:39 p.m., Resident #4's fingernails were observed extending approximately ½ inch from the tip of the finger with a brown substance under the nail beds. Resident #4 was not able to answer any question.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of the clinical record, resident and staff interviews, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to maintain ambulation status for 1(Resident #16) of 1 resident reviewed with a restorative ambulation program. Review of Resident #16's clinical record showed an admission date of 9/4/21. The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented Resident #16 required limited physical assistance of one person for transfers, walking in room and corridor. The Certified Nursing Assistant [NAME] (form used to communicate resident's care needs) documented Resident #16 required assistance with ambulation. A fall risk evaluation dated 3/8/22 documented Resident #16 scored an 11 indicating a high risk for falls. On 5/9/22 at 2:41 p.m., Resident #16 said she was supposed to receive restorative nursing (program to promote improvement in function and minimize deterioration) but said I only get it one day a week if someone is here. The aides and nurses say they can't ambulate me with the four wheeled seated walker. Resident #16 reported generalized weakness. The resident said, I'm not supposed to walk by myself outside of the room, but they don't have the time to walk me, I understand they are busy. I am trying to get stronger. I am a former Registered Nurse and I know therapy is important. Once you reach your goal you want to maintain and not slip back. Resident #16 said, I would like to have someone ambulate me more frequently, at least from my room to the dining area, but they say it is better if I use the wheelchair. A review of the Restorative Nursing Program referral for Resident #16 dated 12/8/21 and signed by the therapist, and the restorative aide on 2/16/22 documented Resident #16 was referred to the program for ambulation with a goal to maintain/improve current level of function. The referral documented, Pt [Patient] is at risk for decline and increased level of care. The listed interventions were for gait as tolerated or 50 feet using a four-wheel walker and wheelchair to follow with three liters of oxygen. Rest as needed, assist with the oxygen tubing. The frequency of the ambulation program was three times a week. Review of the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) documentation for March 2022, and April 2022 failed to show documentation Resident #16 received the restorative ambulation on scheduled days, nine times in March, and seven times in April. On 3/2/22, 3/4/22, 3/7/22, 3/11/22, 3/16/22, 3/21/22, 3/23/22, 3/25/22, 4/6/22, 4/13/22, and 4/20/22 NA [Not applicable] was entered. On 3/18/22, 4/8/22, 4/11/22, 4/15/22 and 4/29/22, the form was left blank, making it impossible to determine if the resident received the restorative program. On 3/28/22, 3/30/22, 4/4/22 and 4/18/22 the form noted Resident #16 refused to participate in the restorative program. On 5/11/22 at 8:37 a.m., the Director of Rehab (DOR) said the facility had one restorative aide, and she was often pulled to work on the floor providing patient care. The DOR said no one was available to do the restorative programs when the Restorative CNA was pulled from her assignment.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, clinical record review, review of facility policies and procedure, resident and staff interviews, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to maintain continence for 2 (Resident #16 and #75) of 2 residents reviewed for incontinence. The findings included: The facility policy titled Restorative Nursing - Bowel and Bladder Program (undated) specified residents who have had any episodes of incontinence will be assessed for the need of a bowel and bladder program upon admission, quarterly, upon removal of an indwelling catheter, or with a significant change. The procedure noted, To begin the evaluation of the resident's bowel and bladder function. The Restorative Nurse/designee will: Complete the first 3 sections of the Bowel and Bladder Evaluation. If the resident is to proceed to the 3-Day Bowel & [and] Bladder Patterning Diary, instruct the CNAs that a 3-Day bowel and bladder patterning diary has been implemented. Instruct the CNAs to cue and assist the resident to toilet and to check the resident for episodes of incontinence and mark the diary as indicated. On day 4 when the diary is completed, the Restorative nurse or designee will review the 3-day patterning. The nurse will check for patterns of continence and incontinence to determine if a resident is eligible for retraining, prompted voiding, scheduled toileting, or placed in the incontinent care (check and change program). 1. A review of Resident #16's clinical record showed an admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] and a Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], which documented Resident #16 required limited physical assistance of one for transfers, ambulation, toileting, and personal hygiene. The MDS documented Resident #16 was frequently incontinent of bowel and occasionally incontinent of bladder. The assessment documented a toileting program was not currently being used to manage the resident's bowel continence. The clinical record lacked documentation of a bowel and bladder patterning and evaluation to address the specific incontinence needs of Resident #16. The care plan initiated on 9/3/21 and revised on 10/6/21 noted Resident #16 required assistance of one person for transfer and toilet use, had functional incontinence (Incontinence occurs when an individual has difficulty getting to the toilet on time) due to having decreased mobility with weakness. The goal was for the resident to remain free from skin breakdown due to incontinence and brief use. The interventions included to offer and assist with toileting. Check for incontinence, wash, rinse, and dry perineum. Clean peri-area with each incontinence episode. On 5/9/22 at 2:24 p.m., Resident #16 said she was not able to get up on her own and required assistance to go to the bathroom. Resident #16 said sometimes she is incontinent because the staff do not come when she needs to be toileted, and she has to wait for staff to assist her on the toilet.
