bathroom. Resident #53's room was cluttered with personal items and medical equipment and only a very
small path was available to walk to the bathroom for both Resident #53 and his roommate (Resident #11).
An interview with Resident #53 on 01/17/22 at 1:47 P.M. indicated he had fallen and fractured his right leg
which caused him pain when attempting to participate during therapy sessions. Resident #53 indicated he
was attempting to walk from the bathroom to his bed and tripped over personal items on his way from the
bathroom when he fell and fractured his leg while attempting to put on his shoes.
An interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/19/22 at 11:00 A.M. verified the above findings.
2. Resident #11 was admitted on [DATE] and re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
epilepsy, convulsions, cerebral vascular accident (stroke) with hemiparesis (weakness of one entire side of
the body) and hemiplegia (complete paralysis of half of the body), homonymous field defect (a field loss
deficit in the same halves of the visual field of each eye, often resulting from cerebrovascular injury or
tumor), apraxia (brain is unable to make and deliver correct movement instructions to the body.), aphasia
(disorder that affects how you communicate) and unsteadiness on feet.
Review of Resident #11's plan of care initiated on 08/06/21 revealed he had a risk for falls and potential
injury related to stoke, weakness, impaired balance and impaired cognition. The goal of the plan of care
was to minimize potential risk factors related to falls. Interventions on the plan of care included to provide
an anti-rollback wheelchair for mobility with a nonskid pad on the seat of the wheelchair, remove the
wheelchair from the bedside, provide a commode/urinal at the bedside and commonly used articles in
reach and provide a visual reminder to use the call light and wait for assistance Additional interventions
included to use a mechanical lift for transfers and to maintain a clear pathway.
Resident #11's clinical record indicated he had sustained multiple falls from 07/01/22 to 10/18/22. Three
falls occurred in Resident #11's room on 08/29/22, 08/20/22, 07/28/22 while trying to self transfer out of bed
to his wheelchair with no injury sustained from the falls.
Review of Resident #11's MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #11 was minimally verbal due
to aphasia diagnosis and needed extensive assistance of one person for transfers and supervision while us
a ing a wheelchair for mobility.
Review of Resident #11's fall assessment dated [DATE] revealed he had a high risk for falls due to Resident
#11 exhibited loss of balance while standing, was confined to a chair, sometimes had memory problems
and was receiving antiseizure medication.
An observation of Resident #11's room on 10/17/22 at 1:30 P.M. revealed he shared a room with another
resident and both residents had multiple personal items and designated medical equipment within reach in
their room. There was a very small path from the door to Resident #11's bed with his roommate's
wheelchair partially blocking the path to the door. Resident #11's bed was close to the privacy curtain and
was difficult to navigate the path to enter and exit his bed and travel to the bathroom or exit the room with a
wheelchair.
An interview with DON on 11/19/22 at 11:00 A.M. verified the above findings and indicated she was aware
of the problem with the clutter in Resident #11's room. DON indicated this was an ongoing

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation record review and interview the facility failed to maintain Resident #30's right hand splint to
prevent contracture. This affected one out of four residents reviewed for limited range of motion. The facility
census was 57.
Findings include:
Resident #30 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including stoke, kidney stone, high blood pressure,
aortic aneurysm, congestive heart failure and hyperlipidemia. A review of Resident #30's occupational
therapy discharge note indicated he received occupational therapy services from 08/10/22 to 09/22/22. The
occupational therapy recommended a restorative program for a restorative splint and brace program.
Resident #30 was to wear a right hand splint to decrease further contracture as tolerated. Resident #30's
physician order dated 09/14/21 indicated to apply a right hand splint daily as tolerated. There was no
documentation in Resident #30's clinical record of Resident #30 refusing to wear the splint or removing the
splint after the staff applied the splint. Resident #30's plan of care had no interventions regarding the
application of the right hand splint.
An interview with Resident #30 on 10/17/22 at 5:22 P.M. indicated he had therapy in the past and was
supposed to wear a splint on his right hand due to he was flaccid on the right side from a stoke. Resident
#30 indicated the staff did not routinely assist him with applying his splint and he was not assisted with
wearing the splint during his morning care on the day of the interview.
An observation and interview with Resident #30 on 10/18/22 at 2:00 P.M. indicated the staff did not apply
his splint in the morning. There was no splint observed on Resident #30's right wrist. Resident #30's right
wrist/hand were contracted and he was unable to voluntarily move the right wrist joint or fingers.
An interview with Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) on 10/18/22 at 1:31 P.M. indicated Resident #30 had
received occupational therapy for his right hand contracture and were working on strengthening, passive
range of motion and right hand splinting. The restorative program recommended by occupational therapy
upon discharge of the therapy sessions on 09/22/22 indicated a right hand splint to be worn daily as
tolerated to prevent further contracture.
On 10/18/22 at 1:56 P.M. and interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #233 verified Resident #30
was not wearing a splint and indicated she couldn't recall if she assisted him with applying the splint earlier
in the day.
An interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/19/22 at 11:00 A.M. verified the above findings and
indicated the staff should have assisted him with application of his right hand splint.
