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 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to provide denture care assistance for two (R1 and R3) of three residents reviewed for activities of daily living from a total sample list of seven residents reviewed. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The undated facility policy documents that denture care is to be provided before breakfast and at bedtime. The resident is to be encouraged and assisted as needed. As denture care is provided, examination of the resident's mouth and gums for paleness, mouth sores, bleeding or areas of discoloration should be done. Encourage the resident to perform as much of the procedure as possible. 1.) R1's admission assessment dated [DATE] documents that R1 admitted to the facility with upper and lower dentures. R1's updated care plan does not document denture care. On 2/26/24 at 8:50AM, V4 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) stated that morning cares consist of washing (the residents) up, making sure they have their call lights, brushing their teeth, cleaning their dentures, and brushing their hair and if they can do it on their own, we still take a look and to make sure that it was done. On 2/26/24 at 8:45AM, R1 was sitting in his room in a wheel chair eating his breakfast while wearing dentures. A denture cup was sitting on his bedside table. On 2/26/24 at 9:30AM, R1 stated, They don't clean my dentures here. I usually leave them in all the time. When I was at the hospital, they told me that I have to take them out and clean them once in awhile. They cleaned them when I was in the hospital and they haven't been cleaned since. On 2/26/24 at 8:55AM, V5 CNA stated that she usually works on the 200 hall and that she didn't help R1 with his dentures today because he doesn't have dentures. On 2/26/24 at 8:56AM, V4 stated that she usually works the 200 hall and that she has never reminded R1 to clean his dentures because he doesn't have dentures. On 2/26/24 at 8:57AM, V6 Licensed Practical Nurse stated that she was R1's nurse and that she was not aware that R1 had dentures.

F 0677 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 2/26/24 at 9:04AM, V3 Assistant Director of Nursing stated that she expected oral and denture care to be done daily and as needed but that she did not think that R1 had dentures. I think that he is just edentulous. On 2/26/24 at 9:15AM, V3 Assistant Director Of Nursing confirmed that R1 has a full set of dentures in his mouth with one front denture tooth missing and that she took them out and rinsed them off once moments ago, when she found out that he had dentures. 2.) On 2/26/24 at 11:42AM, R3 stated that he has been edentulous since 2013, and has had the same pair of dentures since 2013. R3 stated that they fit well and that he primarily wears them when he leaves the facility to go out into public. On 2/26/24 at 1:15PM, R3's dentures were soaking in a denture cup in his room. The water had mold floating on/in the water. R3' medical record does not document R3 having dentures. On 2/26/24 at 3:15PM, V2 Interim Director of Nursing stated, It is basic CNA care to be looking at those (dentures) and the water that they are in at least daily. We will correct this. On 2/26/24 at 4:00PM, V11 Director of Nursing 4:00PM stated, Even if a resident is independent, we are still responsible for making sure that they are being taken care of including having their denture care completed.
