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
interview and record review the facility failed to document incontinence care every shift per facility policy.
This failure applied to two (R1 and R2) of three residents reviewed for incontinence care.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
R1 is a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility 8/6/24 with diagnoses that included hemiplegia
and hemiparesis following a cerebral infarction and one pressure ulcer of the sacrum stage I. Minimum data
set (MDS) assessed 8/8/24 indicates that R1 is dependent on staff for incontinence of bowel and bladder
function.
R2 admitted to the facility 8/30/24 with diagnoses that included femur fracture, cognitive communication
deficit, and generalized weakness. MDS (9/2/24) notes that R2 is dependent on nursing staff for mobility
and incontinence care.
On 9/18/24 at 10:55am family member of R2 voiced concerns that R2 did not receive overnight
incontinence care which led to R2 being soaked in urine when they arrived to visit in the morning.
A 30-day lookback was reviewed for R1 and R2 for bowel and bladder function. Point of care (POC) tasks
as carried out by CNA (Certified Nursing Assistants) lack documentation that R1 and R2 received
incontinence care at least once per shift every day.
On 9/18/24 at 10:55am a family member for R1 stated that on 9/11/24 around 10am, they came to the
facility and R1 was left soaking in a disposable brief. The family member said after asking for assistance,
R1 did not receive incontinence care for over an hour.
POC (charting documentation) for 9/11/24 documents only one occurrence of incontinence care for the day,
which was documented at 1:27pm.
On 9/19/24 at 3:16pm V2 Director of Nursing stated the CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) are expected
to document in the electronic health record for incontinence care or toileting at least once every shift.
Incontinent and Perineal Care Policy revised 7/24 states in part; It is the policy of the facility to provide
perineal care to ensure cleanliness and comfort to the resident, to prevent infection and skin irritation and to
observe the resident's skin condition. Do rounds at least every 2 hours to check for incontinence during
shift.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to prevent a new pressure ulcer from developing for a resident
who was assessed to be at risk for developing pressure ulcers while in the facility. This failure applied to
one (R1) of three residents reviewed for pressure ulcers.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
R1 is a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility 8/6/24 with diagnoses that included hemiplegia
and hemiparesis following a cerebral infarction and one pressure ulcer of the sacrum stage I. Minimum data
set (8/8/24) notes that R1 is dependent on staff for activities of daily living that include turning, repositioning
and incontinence care.
According to wound care nurse practitioner's progress notes on 8/9/24 R1 was assessed with a wound of
the sacrum that measured in centimeters length x width x depth: 2 cm x 3 cm x 1 cm.
On 9/11/24 the wound care nurses documented new skin alterations that included Gluteal Cleft tear and
Right ischium (skin tear) which did not include measurements.
On 9/13/24, the nurse practitioner reclassified these new alterations to be a pressure ulcer stage II
measuring 3cm x 1cm x 0.1 cm and the existing sacral wound 1.5cm x 0.5cm x 0.5 cm, indicating that the
sacral wound was healing with existing treatments in place.
On 9/19/24 at 3:16pm V2 Director of Nursing stated that according to the documentation, R1 was assessed
with a gluteal cleft tear and a sacral pressure ulcer that progressed to stage II pressure ulcers. The skin tear
was first noted by the wound care team during rounds. V2 stated it is the expectation of the CNA (certified
nursing assistant) to notify the nurse of any skin changes, as they should be turning and repositioning and
checking for incontinence minimally every two hours. V2 stated the worsening of the wounds could have
been potentially caused by decline in nutrition, lack of turning or repositioning or an ineffective treatment
plan. V2 stated to their knowledge, R1 did not have any nutritional concerns.
Physician orders placed by wound care nurse are as follows:
9/11/2024 13:15 RIGHT ISCHIUM Cleanse with normal saline Pat Dry Apply wound paste everyday shift
for Skin Tear and as needed for Skin Tear.
9/11/2024 13:15 GLUTEAL CLEFT Cleanse with normal saline Apply Collagen Cover with Hydrocolloid
every day shift every Mon, Wed, Fri for Tear AND as needed for If off or soiled.
Care plan initiated 8/27/24 states [R1] will not develop additional skin breakdown. Follow facility
policies/protocols for the prevention/treatment of skin breakdown.
Skin Care Regimen and treatment Formulary revised 1/24 states in part; Prevention- incontinent/moisture
barrier cream every shift and as needed. Treatment Protocol: Skin Tears/Laceration- Film dressing, foam
dressing, petroleum gauze and topical antibiotic unless contraindicated.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to replace a damaged call light cord in
a resident's room. This failure applied to one (R2) of three residents reviewed for accidents and hazards.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
R2 admitted to the facility 8/30/24 with diagnoses that included femur fracture, cognitive communication
deficit, and generalized weakness. R2 discharged from the facility 9/7/24.
On 9/18/24 at 10:55am family member of R2 informed the surveyor of a damaged call light with exposed
wires in R2's former room.
On 9/19/24 at 12:30pm, the call light in R2's former room was observed to be damaged and had been
taped ineffectively covering the exposed wires. During the observation, V9 Guest Services entered the
room as requested. When V9 saw the damaged cord, V9 removed it and said that they would replace it
immediately. Later at 2:04pm, V1 Administrator stated, although the cord did appear to have some damage,
it was functional, however it was replaced immediately after bringing it to our attention.
Policy titled Hazards revised 7/24 states in part; Policy Statement: It is the facility's policy to ensure the
safety of each resident in the building and remove hazardous items and correct situation to prevent
accidents.
