Resident #53 was assessed without impairments to bilateral upper or lower extremities and required the use of a wheelchair for mobility. Resident #53 had an indwelling catheter for bladder elimination and was frequently incontinent of bowel function. Resident #53 had one unstageable wound which was present upon admission and one deep tissue injury which was present upon admission. Pressure prevention interventions included a pressure reducing device to residents chair and bed, nutrition and/or hydration interventions to manage skin problems, and pressure ulcer injury care. Review of Resident #53's progress notes revealed no activity notes were completed for the resident to detail activities planned or provided to the resident or the resident's response to activities. On 07/12/21, 07/13/21, 07/14/21, 07/15/21, 07/19/21 and 07/20/21 observations made of Resident #53 between 10:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. revealed the resident was observed during all observations laying supine in bed, resting quietly with his eyes closed, with the light and television turned off and his window blinds partially opened.

On 07/19/21 at 2:00 P.M. interview with Activity Director (AD) #71 revealed she was currently the only activity staff member at the facility. Activity Director #71 revealed she does chart on each resident when they were admitted and with quarterly assessments. AD #71 revealed the last few months she had not been to complete activity charting. AD #71 revealed when she was able to document, she used different code numbers. Review of Resident #53's coding with AD #71 revealed most days activity participation was coded with an 87 which indicated non-applicable. Per AD #71, when this was marked it was not because the resident refused to participate in the activity, but because she was not able to see the resident that day to complete a activity or resident's were not provided an activity for that day. Activity Director #71 also revealed that due to her being the only activity staff member, if she identified a resident who was awake versus one who was asleep, she would direct her attention towards the resident who was awake.

Review of the weight records revealed the resident weighed 149.8 pounds on admission on [DATE]. On 12/14/20 the resident weighed 132.2 pounds (a weight loss of 17.6 pounds in three days). A progress note by the dietician on 12/15/20 indicated a 17.6 pound, 11% percent weight loss in three days.
