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 and record review the facility failed to develop and implement an individualized care
plan related to the hygiene and application of a palm guard for Resident #12 regarding bilateral hand
contractures. This affected one of three residents reviewed for activities of daily living (#12, #16, #40 and
#398) and one resident (#12) reviewed for position and mobility.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #12 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including COVID 19, muscle weakness, cognitive communication deficit, hereditary motor and sensory
neuropathy, dementia without behavioral disturbance, diabetes, chronic pain syndrome, obesity, anxiety,
pain, spinal stenosis cervical region and strain of muscle fascia.
Review of the physician's order dated 07/04/19 revealed to cleanse palms daily with soap and water, allow
to dry; apply and use palm guard at all times as tolerated. May remove for hygiene. Night shift to cleanse
palms nightly with soap and water.
Review of the comprehensive assessment (MDS 3.0) dated 12/17/21 indicated Resident #12 had severe
cognitive impairment. She displayed other behavioral symptoms not directed toward others and rejected
evaluation or care on one to three days of the assessment period. Resident #12 required the extensive
assistance of two staff for bed mobility and personal hygiene.
Review of the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) care plan indicated the interventions included Resident #12
will follow rehabilitation recommendations, receive pain medication prior to participation, utilize adaptive
equipment as ordered and assist with completion with ADLs as necessary. There was no care plan found
that specifically addressed use of a palm guard or hand hygiene related to contractures.
Interview with and observation of Resident #12 on 02/22/22 at 11:45 A.M. indicated she was not able to
open her left hand at all and the right hand opened slightly but her fingers did not extend. Her left hand was
tightly fisted and bent in at the wrist. Her nails were chipped and jagged on both hands and her nails on her
right hand were full of debris. She reported doing her own nail care by picking away at them. There was a
sign posted in the bathroom indicating to cleanse and place a rolled-up wash cloth in her left hand.
Resident #12 reported they used to something put in her left hand but was unable to say the last time that
was done. She said she did her own exercises but both hands were painful. On 02/23/22 at 10:15 A.M.
Resident #12's left hand remained closed tightly with no washcloth in her palm and the nails remained the
same. She reported her hands had not been washed and there was no washcloth in her left hand.
On 02/24/22 at 10:00 A.M. State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #566 was observed completing hand hygiene
on Resident #12. STNA #566 had never worked with Resident #12 previously. She prepared by running the
water until it was warm, soaked a washcloth with the water and added a small amount of soap on the
washcloth. STNA #566 began by wiping the outside of the left hand with the washcloth. Resident #12
winced a few times and when STNA #566 attempted to wipe the inside of the left hand the resident said
she was hurting her wrist. With the first wipe, there was a yellow/brown thick plaque and debris on the
washcloth. STNA #566 referred to the debris as gunk and said there was a lot in there

attempt at cleaning the left palm and between the fingers. An excessive amount of debris was removed
after each wipe. Resident #12 said ouch, don't do it anymore and moved her hand away from the STNA,
wincing in pain. STNA #566 stopped and got a new washcloth to clean the right hand. Resident #12
continued to complain while her right hand was cleansed. The fingernails were long and jagged and filled
with old food and other brown debris. STNA #566 confirmed the resident's hands and nails had not been

Ensure staff are vaccinated for COVID-19
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review and interview the facility failed to implement their vaccination policy and monitor
staff members, contract employees and visitors to ensure that 100% (percent) of staff have received at
least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, have a pending request for exemption, or have been identified as
appropriate for a temporary delay per Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance. The vaccination rate for
the facility was calculated at 97.3%. This had the potential to affect all 39 residents currently residing in the
facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
Observation on 02/22/22 at 10:10 A.M. revealed Volunteer #666 and Volunteer #667 were providing
communion services to various residents. Both volunteers visit the facility approximately every three weeks
to provide communion services.
Observation on 02/22/22 at 10:13 A.M. revealed hospice State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #668 was
in the nursing station on the [NAME] Unit.
Interview on 02/22/22 at 10:14 A.M. with hospice STNA #668 confirmed she was in the facility to provide
care for Resident #30 and she usually provided the resident's care on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Interview on 02/22/22 at 3:11 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the hospice companies did
not provide the vaccination or exemption status of the employees and were not tracked by the facility
according to the policy. The DON also revealed she thought Volunteers #666 and #667 were visitors and
thus exempt from tracking for COVID-19 vaccination or exemption status.
Interview on 02/23/22 at 10:50 A.M. with Volunteer #667's husband indicated he was called this morning for
the COVID-19 vaccination card and he sent it in to the facility.
Review of the undated COVID-19 Staff Vaccination Status for Providers form did not reveal evidence
Volunteer #666, Volunteer #667 or STNA #668 were placed on the form to track for the vaccination status,
exemption or temporary delay. Calculation of vaccination status including all three revealed the vaccination
rate was 97.3% versus 100%when calculated without them.
Review of the facility Vaccination Policy revised 02/08/22 confirmed within 30 days, the facility would have
policies and procedures developed and implemented for ensuring all facility staff were vaccinated against
COVID-19 and ensure that 100% of staff have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, having a
pending request for exemption, or have been identified as appropriate for a temporary delay per the CDC.
