**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure Resident #80
was fed in a dignified manner. This affected one resident (#80) out of 20 residents reviewed for dignity. The
facility census was 94.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #80 revealed an admission date of 06/06/23 and diagnoses
including Alzheimer's disease, Bell's Palsy (a neurological disorder that causes paralysis or weakness on
one side of the face), unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood
disturbance, and anxiety, other specified depressive episodes, other idiopathic peripheral autonomic
neuropathy (condition that affects the nerves in the hands and feet causing pain, numbness, and
weakness), unspecified protein calorie malnutrition, and need for assistance with personal care.
Review of annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #80 was
severely impaired cognitively and was dependent on staff for eating.
Review of the care plan created on 06/09/23 revealed Resident #80 had an activity daily living (ADL)
self-care performance deficit related to severe cognitive and communication deficits related to dementia
and was dependent on staff to provide care. Interventions included the resident may require staff
participation to eat.
Observation on 08/05/24 at 4:58 P.M. revealed State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #502 was standing
while feeding Resident #80 in the main dining room, who was seated in a Geri chair (geriatric recliner) with
her head elevated sitting next to a half circle table. There was a chair observed right behind STNA #502 as
she was feeding the resident.
Interview on 08/05/24 at 5:01 P.M. with STNA #502 confirmed she had been standing while feeding
Resident #80 and stated she couldn't reach the resident's mouth while sitting. STNA #502 then
repositioned Resident #80's Geri chair at the time of the interview and was then able to feed and give fluids
through a straw to the resident as STNA #502 sat in a chair.
Interview on 08/08/24 at 8:54 A.M. with the Speech Language Pathologist confirmed staff should be sitting
while feeding residents.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, record review, interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to maintain
resident records in a manner that would protect their confidentiality. This affected one resident (Resident
#7) of the 94 residents observed for privacy. The facility census was 94.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #7 revealed an admission date of 10/17/07 and a re-entry date of
03/08/24 with diagnoses including type two diabetes mellitus, schizophrenia, recurrent depressive disorder,
osteoporosis, hypertension, diverticulitis, unspecified phobia, and unsteadiness on feet.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment completed on 07/26/24 revealed
Resident #7 had intact cognition. Further review of the MDS revealed Resident #7 required supervision or
touching assistance for toileting hygiene, bathing, dressing her lower body and transfers to the toilet or from
the toilet. Resident #7 used a walker and required supervision or touching assistance for toileting hygiene,
bathing, dressing her lower body, and transfers to the toilet or from a chair/bed to chair. The MDS also
revealed Resident #7 was frequently incontinent of urine and always incontinent of stool.
Review of the care plan dated 07/26/24 through 10/26/24 revealed Resident #7 had urinary incontinence at
least three to four times per day and stool incontinence at least three to four times per week with a
tendency to wear more than one brief at a time or place pads or plastic bags inside her briefs increasing
her risk for skin breakdown. Interventions included checking Resident #7 for incontinence every two hours
and providing perineal care, skin checks with incontinence care assistance, and provision of a toileting
program before and after meals, activities, and t bedtime. Further review of the care plan revealed Resident
#7 was at risk for impaired function to her bilateral upper and lower extremities and required restorative
nursing assistance to prevent further decline in function twice daily, six to seven times a week, for at least
15 minutes a day. Due to her diagnoses of depression and schizophrenia and use of psychotropic
medications, the care plan also directs staff to monitor Resident #7 for agitation, changes in mood, mania,
paranoia, hallucinations, and any unusual behavioral symptoms.
Random observation on 08/08/24 from 9:05 A.M. to 9:37 A.M. of the computer monitor in the 500 hall
revealed an open medical record for Resident #7. Further observation revealed the open record contained
visible information including the resident's name, medical record, and plan of care tasks. At the time of the
observation, no staff were noted in the hallway and one resident, Resident #48, was sitting in the hallway in
his wheelchair.
During observation of the documentation station/computer monitor in the 500 hallway on 08/08/24 9:11
A.M., State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #344 was observed in the hallway passing new water cups to the
residents while the medical record remained open and visible on Resident #7's plan of care tab. Continued
observation of the 500 hallway on 08/08/24 revealed STNA #345 walking past the computer monitor at 9:15
A.M. twice.
Interview on 08/08/24 at 9:34 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #349 confirmed the screen on the
monitor in the 500 hall was opened with some of Resident #7's medical information visible to others who
might be nearby in the hallway. She further confirmed staff were to always lock the screen

when walking away to keep information private. During the interview, LPN #349 also confirmed she had
occasionally come across unlocked screens with visible resident information and when this occurred, she
would lock the screen or log the previous employee out and re-educate them on HIPAA (the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) related to protected health information and confidentiality. As
the interview concluded at 9:37 A.M., LPN #349 was observed logging the STNA out of the electronic
medical record and locking the screen.
Interview on 08/08/24 at 9:55 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #310 confirmed resident information should
be kept confidential and the screen to the documentation stations in the halls should not be left open to
resident information and unattended.
Interview on 08/08/24 at 12:40 P.M. with STNA #303 confirmed she left the computer open earlier on this
date when she responded to a call-light and that she should have locked the computer screen prior to
leaving it unattended.
Review of the policy titled Confidentiality of Information dated 03/16/13 revealed the facility was to treat all
resident information confidentially and take measures to safeguard all resident records to protect their
privacy.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure care
plan interventions were implemented as directed for one resident (Resident #5) and failed to ensure
comprehensive care plans were developed for two residents (Resident #51 and Resident #67). This
affected three residents (Residents #5, #51, and #67) out of 22 residents reviewed for care plans. The
facility census was 94.
Findings include:
1. Review of the medical record reviewed Resident #5 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
Alzheimer's Disease, systolic congestive heart failure (COPD), and need for assistance with personal care.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed Resident #5 had moderately
impaired cognition, had an impairment to his bilateral upper and lower extremities, and dependent for
toileting hygiene and bathing. Further review of the MDS revealed Resident #5 had last received
occupational therapy (OT) services from 04/01/24 through 04/23/24 and received passive and active range
of motion (ROM), training assistance with walking, and splint/brace assistance seven out of seven days of
the look-back period.
Review of the care plan dated 05/16/24 revealed Resident #5 was to wear a left arm and wrist splint and a
left ankle-foot orthotic (AFO) when out of bed with a goal of risk reduction of worsening contractures of the
left upper and lower extremities. Interventions included direction the splint and brace was to be worn when
Resident #7 was out of bed and staff were to provide passive ROM (PROM) of the left upper extremity
before and after splint removal, assess for discomfort while the splint and brace were worn, and assess and
report any skin concerns noted with applying and removing the splint and AFO.
Review of the OT evaluation and visit notes from 04/01/24 through 04/23/24 revealed Resident #5 had a
new short-term goal added on 04/10/24 to wear the left hand splint daily for at least two to four hours
without signs of ill fit or discomfort and a long-term goal to wear and tolerate the left hand splint up to eight
hours daily. Further review of the OT notes revealed Resident #5 was able to tolerate wearing the left hand
splint four to five hours a day with no discomfort at the time of discharge from OT services.
Review of the plan of care tasks from the last 30 days revealed Resident #5 was to wear an AFO to the left
leg for walking only and it was to be off when in bed or the recliner. Further review revealed Resident#5 was
to wear a left hand/wrist splint when out of bed. Review of the plan of care task revealed both interventions
were included on one sign-off form and there was no differentiation as to which splint/brace was applied on
Resident #5.
Observation on 08/05/24 at 11:26 A.M. revealed Resident #5 had a contracture of his left hand and wrist
limited ROM of his left hand. At the time of the observation, Resident #5 stated he was given a brace for his
left hand, it was in the drawer, but nobody told him if he was still supposed to wear it because they stopped
putting it on.

Observation on 08/06/24 at 2:30 P.M. revealed Resident #5 was in the main hallway in his wheelchair with
the left AFO on and no brace on his left arm/hand.
Interview on 08/06/24 at 2:39 P.M. with State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #395 revealed she had no
knowledge of brace orders for Resident #5. During the interview, Resident #5 informed STNA #395 he did
have a brace and that it was in his drawer. At this time, STNA #395 verified the hand/wrist splint was in the
top drawer. Of his bedside dresser. STNA #395 confirmed she did not know how long Resident #5 had the
brace or where it came from and added that sometimes residents get braces from therapy, but staff are
typically informed and trained on what to do and when to do it if the residents were supposed to wear any
braces or splints and she did not believe he was supposed to wear one.
A follow-up interview on 08/06/24 at 4:39 P.M. with Resident #5 revealed a staff member came into his
room after the surveyor's visit earlier that afternoon, opened his drawer, and removed the hand splint from
his drawer, informing him that he never had orders for it and shouldn't have it in his room. Resident #5's
daughter, who was present during this interview, stated yes, he does have a hand splint in his top drawer
he used to wear all the time when he was up (confirmed she visited every other day and observed Resident
#5 with the left hand/wrist splint) until just a few months ago. She also opened the drawer and confirmed
the left hand brace was no longer in his room and neither knew who had the splint at that time.
Additional observations were as follows:
•
08/07/24 at 10:10 AM Resident #5 was asleep in his recliner with no left hand splint but was wearing the
left AFO.
•
08/07/24 at 12:25 P.M. Resident #5 was sitting in the main dining hall eating with no his left AFO on and no
hand/wrist splint to his left upper extremity.
•
08/08/24 at 9:11 A.M. Resident #5 was up in his recliner with his left AFO on and no left hand/wrist splint.
Interview on 08/07/24 at 3:35 PM with Director of Rehab #505 confirmed Resident #5 was receiving OT
services from 04/01/24 through 04/23/24 and that upon discharge from OT, Resident #5 was able to
tolerate wearing his left hand/wrist splint for up to four to five hours with no signs of ill-fit or discomfort. At
the time of the interview, Director of Rehab #505 confirmed the discharge recommendations did not include
the left hand/wrist splint and in a follow-up interview at 4:15 P.M. was unable to determine the reason for not
continuing to recommend left hand splinting after discharge, other than Resident #5 not reaching the
long-term goal of tolerating the brace for up to eight hours a day.
Interview on 08/08/24 at 8:35 A.M. with Restorative Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #345 confirmed
restorative programs are developed/written by the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and the restorative

carry out the restorative tasks with the restorative nurse providing assistance when needed. During the
interview, LPN #345 confirmed the STNAs would know what to do by looking in the medical record and
signing off assigned tasks daily. LPN #345 further confirmed the facility was doing a splinting program for
Resident #5's left hand in April 2024 but the resident stated it was too bulky and didn't wear it. LPN #345
further confirmed someone removed Resident #5's hand/wrist splint from his room on 08/06/24 and it was
found late afternoon on 08/07/24 in the therapy room. LPN #345 confirmed the splint was not supposed to
be removed from Resident #5's room. During the interview, LPN #345 confirmed it was the expectation the
STNAs applied Resident #5's left hand/wrist splint daily up to four to six hours as tolerated and she was not
sure when Resident #5 wore it last. She also confirmed staff applied the left AFO when getting Resident #5
out of bed and it remained in place until he was put in bed at night.
Interview with on 08/08/24 at 9:46 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #310 confirmed Resident #5 had a
restorative program for a left hand/wrist splint for as long as he could tolerate use, but the resident often
refused. At the time of the interview, RN #310 confirmed there are no documented refusals of the left
hand/wrist splint in Resident #5's medical record.
Review of the policy titled Goals and Objectives, Restorative Services dated 03/16/13, revealed goals and
objectives for rehabilitative services were to be developed and outlined in the resident's plan of care.
Review of the policy titled Care Planning - Interdisciplinary Team dated 01/21/14 revealed resident care
plans were to be based on comprehensive assessment data and were developed by the care planning or
interdisciplinary team.
Review of the policy titled Comprehensive Care Plans Policy revealed the comprehensive care plan
interventions should aid in preventing or reducing declines in the residents' functional status and should
enhance the optimal functioning of the resident's by focusing on rehabilitative services.
2. Review of the medical record for Resident #51 revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease, stage three kidney disease, atrial fibrillation, recurrent severe
depressive disorder, oropharyngeal phase dysphagia, anxiety disorder, and assistance with personal care.
Review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment completed on 07/19/24 revealed Resident
#51 had moderately impaired cognition and had exhibited no behaviors or rejection of care. Further review
of the MDS revealed Resident #51 was on a therapeutic and mechanically altered diet. The assessment
revealed no broken or loose-fitting dentures, no broken teeth, and no chewing difficulties.
Review of the care plan dated 07/11/24 revealed Resident #51 was a nutrition risk, was placed on a minced
moist diet on 05/28/24 due to complaints with chewing and was updated on 06/26/24 to reflect tooth
extractions. Interventions included providing diet and interventions per orders and interdisciplinary team
(IDT) and catering to Resident #51's preferences. Further review of the care plan revealed Resident #51
had an activities of daily living (ADL) self-care deficit related to decreased strength, balance and endurance
and fluctuations in mood and cognition. Interventions noted Resident #51 was independent with eating after
staff assisted with tray set-up and she was able to perform oral care after set-up by staff. Review of the care

Review of the progress noted revealed a Social Services note dated 07/01/24 revealed Resident #51 was
exhibiting fixation on her extracted teeth and area from which they were pulled. Further review of this note
confirmed Resident #51 did have upper dentures and was accepting of the moist minced diet prior to her
tooth extractions and she was to be seen by the dentist for a follow-up exam on 07/09/24.
Review of the 360 Care dental progress notes revealed Resident #51 received upper complete dentures
and had a dental visit on 08/17/24 for denture insertion, fitting check, and instructions/denture education.
Observation and interview on 08/05/24 at 11:37 A.M. revealed Resident #51's dentures falling out as she
attempted to speak. Further observation revealed Resident #51 pulled the dentures out of her mouth and
wrapped them in a tissue, then proceeded to state her dentures had been falling out a lot because she lost
some weight and her face changed after her bottom teeth were pulled, and she could not keep her teeth in
to eat or talk and expressed she had been waiting a long time for them to fit correctly, though she was
unable to specify how long. During the interview, Resident #51 had teary eyes and covered her mouth with
her had as she spoke. At the time of the interview, Resident #51 expressed she was embarrassed and did
not want anyone and the surveyor to see what she looked like without her teeth.
Interview on 08/08/24 11:20 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #349 in 500 confirmed Resident #51
had top dentures but did not know if there were any instructions on her care plan.
Observation and Interview on 08/08/24 at 11:25 A.M. with Resident #51 revealed her top dentures were
secured as she informed the surveyor the social worker got her some glue for her dentures and she just
had to put a few dots of glue on them and now the dentures stay in until she takes them out and cleans
them at night.
Interview on 08/08/24 at 11:27 A.M. with State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #345 confirmed she was aware
Resident #51 had dentures but did not know what care or assistance she needed for the dentures since
she typically did not work that hall and did not usually see care plans regarding dentures.
Interview on 08/08/24 at 12:30 P.M. with STNA #303 confirmed Resident #51 had upper dentures that she
typically managed on her own, but the STNAs provided assistance of Resident #51 asked. During the
interview, STNA #303 confirmed dentures are typically not on the care plan and there were no plan of care
(POC) tasks related to dentures to document while on shift.
Interview on 08/08/24 at 12:40 P.M. with LPN #337 revealed the IDT works on care plans collaboratively but
the facility does not always include a plan of care related residents with dentures.
Interview on 08/08/24 at 12:45 PM with the Registered Nurse (RN) #310 confirmed the IDT was involved in
care planning and if a hearing or chewing/swallowing concern, the resident specific care plan would be
entered by the MDS nurse.
Interview on 08/08/24 at 12:55 P.M. with the MDS LPN #322 confirmed residents with dentures do not often
have care plans related to the dentures, unless they had chewing or swallowing concerns.
