was making his normal noises when she entered the room. CNA #296 stated she attempted to remove
Resident #67's t-shirt and he screamed. CNA #296 stated this startled her but Resident #67 had stopped

LPN #224 stated an CNA had told her about Resident #67's arm. LPN #224 stated with being on the first
floor during day shift a lot of people come to the nursing station so if an order was not written down or
charted it would likely get lost in the shuffle.
Review of facility policy Resident Change in Condition Policy dated 06/27/24 revealed a licensed nurse
would recognize and intervene in the event of a change in resident condition. If the attending physician
does not respond in a timely manner, then the Medical Director could be contacted for guidance and
orders. The nurse would record information related to the change in condition and subsequent events and
notifications in the health record. Changes in condition would be included on reports and communicated
during morning meetings.

Review of the medical record for Resident #67 revealed an admission date of 09/01/22. Diagnoses included
senile degeneration of the brain, dementia with agitation, generalized muscle weakness, and muscle

alignment. The wound location was left medial bunion and it was a skin tear. The depth was full thickness
that measured 2.4 centimeters (cm) in length by 2.5 cm in width by 0.2 cm in depth. The wound base had
50% granulation, 10% slough, and 40% hyper-granulation. The wound status was improved/healing. Apply

left foot.
Interview on 12/09/24 at 4:13 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #230 stated the company that
provided Resident #67's bed came out to look at it and said it was unfixable. The bed company will bring
another mattress tomorrow.

(ADON) #223 and #238 revealed Resident #67 was lying on his back. The low air loss mattress was

opened so they considered it a skin tear.
Interview on 12/10/24 at 10:17 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) stated if a specialized boot was
ordered for a resident and was not available, the staff should have went to the therapy department to see if

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, record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure Resident #11, who was cognitively
impaired, dependent on staff for incontinence care/management and had moisture associated dermatitis
(MASD) was provided necessary incontinence care to promote optimal skin integrity and prevent additional
complications from the MASD. This affected one resident (#11) of three residents reviewed for incontinence
care. The facility census was 101.
Findings include:
Record review for Resident #11 revealed an admission date of 07/21/20 with diagnoses including cerebral
infarction due to occlusion or stenosis of left middle cerebral artery, hemiplegia and hemiparesis following
cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side, aphasia following cerebral infarction, dementia, and muscle
weakness.
Review of the care plan for Resident #11 dated 06/06/23 revealed Resident #11 experienced bladder
incontinence related to hemiplegia /hemiparesis following cerebral infarction. Interventions included to
provide incontinence care after each incontinent episode.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #11 was
moderately cognitively impaired. The assessment revealed Resident #11 required substantial/maximum
assistance from staff with toileting and was always incontinent of bowel and bladder.
Review of a Wound Management note revealed on 11/11/24, Resident #11 was noted to have moisture
associated skin damage (MASD) to the gluteal fold and bilateral buttocks, measuring 17 centimeters (cm)
in length by 14.5 cm. wide. On 12/05/24, Resident #11's MASD measured 17 cm by 14 cm and the status
was stable and comments included Resident #11 continued to refuse incontinence care as frequently as
needed.
On 12/10/24 at 8:17 A.M. Resident #11 was observed sitting up in bed. Resident #11 was covered up with
a white blanket. The left side of the blanket and a portion of the sheet viewed was observed to be saturated
with a yellow substance (that appeared to be urine). The resident's room also had a strong foul urine odor.
An attempt to interview Resident #11 at the time of the observation revealed the resident did not respond to
questions.
On 12/10/24 at 8:20 A.M., interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #290 revealed she started her
shift on this date at 6:30 A.M. and was assigned to care for Resident #11. At the time of the interview, the
CNA revealed she had not yet been in to provide incontinence care to Resident #11 (since her shift began).
In addition, the CNA also voiced concerns that night shift staff did not do their job (eluding to the provision
of incontinence care for Resident #11). During the interview, the CNA did not provide any information or
evidence that the resident had refused incontinence care on this date, but did indicate the resident would
not allow all CNAs to work with her and stated the resident did require a lot of staff time because she was
so particular. CNA #290 went on to provide information for how to best work with Resident #11, an gave an
example of giving her juices. An observation of Resident #11 with CNA #290 verified the left side of
Resident #11's blanket was visibly soiled (due to incontinence). CNA #290 removed Resident #11's blanket,
and Resident #11 had a soiled brief on. Observation revealed the sheet, and pad surrounding Resident
#11's lower back, buttocks, and

upper thighs were saturated with urine. The left side of the blanket was saturated with urine. Resident #11
and the room she resided in had a strong foul odor of urine. CNA #290 confirmed Resident #11 always
allowed her to do care for her, she just didn't like people she didn't know. In addition, CNA #290 revealed
Resident #11's bottom was sore and sometimes bled (related to incontinence).

The ADON revealed it was her expectation that staff always approached the resident for care and then
were to notify the nurse if the resident refused. ADON #223 stated she told Resident #11 she needed to
allow the staff to change her at least once a shift but some nurses were afraid to just tell her she needed
changed when she refused. ADON #223 confirmed Resident #11 continued to have MASD to her bilateral
buttocks (due to incontinence). ADON #223 confirmed effective/individualized interventions were not in
place for offering Resident #223 snacks or juice to allow staff to change her when she refused. The facility
did not provide any evidence Resident #11 had refused incontinence care on 12/10/24 between 6:30 A.M.
and 8:20 A.M. or information as to when the resident had last been provided incontinence care by night
shift staff prior to 6:30 A.M. on this date.
