F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 366289 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 10 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 366289 B.

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 cleansed in a while. Resident #12 also confirmed her hands were not cleansed routinely. On 02/24/22 at 10:10 A.M. the Director of Nursing (DON) was informed of the observation.

F 0888 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.
