The findings include:
1. R49's Face sheet shows an admission date of 8/31/23. R49's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 9/6/23
showed R49's cognition is moderately impaired, and he requires one-person physical assist for shaving and
moderate assistance for personal hygiene including bathing and washing hair.

was all different lengths. R49 said he wanted his beard shaved and the staff does not offer to shave him.
R49 said if he wants his beard shaved, he has to ask staff to do it and he did not remember when he was
last bathed.

Saturdays every week. The October bath sheet shows a shower and shave refusal on Wednesday 10/25/23
and no other documentation of shower, bath, shave, or refusal for the rest of the month. The November
bath sheet is blank and does not show a single shower, bath, or shave was completed or refused for the

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to place a bed in a safe position.
This applies to 1 of 1 resident (R170) reviewed for falls in a sample of 24.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
On 11/14/23 at 11:55 AM, R170 was observed in her bed and her bed was in a high position. At 1:14PM V3
(Nurse) came into R170's room with the surveyor and observed R170's bed still in a high position. V3
lowered R170's bed to lowest position and said R170's bed should not be in that high position because she
could fall, and that it is a fall risk.
On 11/16/23 at 11:39 AM, V2 Director of Nurse's (DON) said that residents' beds should not be left in high
positions when they are in it because they can fall out of the bed.
R170's electronic health record showed that R170's mental status is severely impaired. R170's 11/2/23 fall
risk observation showed a score of 11 making R170 a high risk for falls. R170's care plan showed R170
had a risk related to falling, related to impaired mobility, actual fall, and dementia, with approaches
including, keep bed in lowest position with brakes locked, observe frequently, and place in supervised area
when out of bed.
The facility's Fall and Fall Risk Managing policy dated August 2008 showed, based on previous evaluations
and current data the staff will identify interventions related to residents' specific risks and causes to try to
prevent the resident from falling and try to minimize complications from falling.

approaches including use skin barrier after incontinent episodes.
R30's 9/6/22 care plan showed risk for pressure ulcers related to incontinence and impaired mobility with a
goal of skin to remain intact, and with approaches including keep clean and dry as possible provide
incontinence care after each incontinent episode report any signs of skin breakdown, (sore, tender, red, or
broken areas), and use moisture barrier products to perineal area. R30's 9/6/34 care plan shows resident is
at risk for bladder incontinence related to restricted mobility with approaches including provide incontinence
care after each incontinent episode.
R30 8/7/23 MDS (minimum data set) section C showed R30's mental status is severely impaired. Section
GG showed a score of 1 which shows he is total dependent for toileting hygiene. Section H shows he is
always incontinent of urine and bowel and is not on a training program.

issue. V2 said staff should wash their hands when going from dirty to clean. V2 said staff should use
multiple washcloths not the same towel when cleaning different areas. V2 said staff should wash hands
after hygiene care before putting on clean gloves. V2 said that this is for infection control. V2 said that
residents should not be left in stool because it is neglectful, and it can cause skin breakdowns and wounds.
The Facility's Perineal Care policy dated August 2008 showed the purpose of perineal care is to provide
