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 Based on medical record review, resident interview, staff interview, and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to provide nail care for one (Resident #13) of four residents reviewed who were dependent on facility staff for activities of daily living (ADL). Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #13 revealed an admission date of 05/23/22 with diagnoses including dementia without psychotic disturbance, type two diabetes mellitus, blindness to the right eye, and bilateral glaucoma. Review of the care plan for Resident #13 dated 05/05/23 revealed the resident had a self-care performance deficit and staff were to assist with ADLs as needed. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for Resident #13 dated 07/08/25 revealed the resident had severe cognitive impairment, was dependent on staff for personal hygiene, and had not rejected care during the assessment look-back period. Observation on 08/20/25 at 8:05 A.M. revealed Resident #13's fingernails on both hands were three to four inches long, extending beyond the fingertips. Resident #13's nails were discolored (yellowish), rough, jagged, and there was a brown substance underneath the nails. Interview on 08/20/25 at 8:06 A.M. with Resident #13 confirmed they wanted their fingernails cleaned and trimmed. Interview on 8/20/25 at 8:16 A.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #4 confirmed Resident #13's fingernails were approximately four inches long and dirty, with dried food or another substance underneath the nail. She stated that because the resident had a diagnosis of diabetes, CNAs were not allowed to cut their nails but were expected to clean them daily and document the care in the resident's electronic medical record and on a shower sheet that was submitted to a nurse. Interview on 08/20/25 at 8:28 A.M. with CNA #5 confirmed Resident #13's nails were exceptionally long and dirty with debris underneath. She stated that nails should be cleaned to prevent scratching, infection, fungus, and germs. She stated that she could clean the resident's nails but could not cut them because the resident had diabetes. Interview on 08/20/25 at 9:01 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #3 confirmed Resident #13's nails were about four inches long with food underneath. She stated nurses were responsible for nail care, and long, jagged nails increased the risk of skin injury, infection, and skin tears.
