Level of Harm - Minimal 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
clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to develop and implement
an individualized person-centered care plan to meet each resident's needs as related to a diagnosis of post
traumatic stress disorder and as identified in the comprehensive assessment for two of 31 sampled
residents. (Residents 8, 21)
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 8 had diagnoses that included post traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD), depression, and Fourier's gangrene (tissue death). Review of a psychiatric consultation dated
December 20, 2023, revealed Resident 8 was a combat veteran with PTSD. Review of the Resident
Centered Care/All About Me Information Form dated February 3, 2024, revealed the resident had triggers
from past trauma that included loud noises, fireworks, and cars backfiring. Resident 8's care plan did not
include interventions to address the resident's PTSD diagnosis and related triggers to prevent
re-traumatization.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 21 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. The Minimum Data Set assessment Care Area
Assessment summary dated December 11, 2023, noted that the resident's psychotropic drug use was to
be addressed in the care plan. There was no documented evidence that interventions to address Resident
21's psychotropic drug use were included in the care plan.
In an interview on February 23, 2024, at 9:34 a.m., the social worker (SW1) confirmed the identified areas
were not addressed in Residents 8 or 21's care plans.

Residents Affected - Few
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
clinical record review and resident interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide restorative
nursing services to prevent a reduction in range of motion and/or to improve or maintain mobility on a
consistent basis for one of 31 sampled residents. (Resident 147)
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 147 had diagnoses that included repeated falls and colon
cancer. The Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE], indicated that the resident was not cognitively
impaired and required staff assistance for activities of daily living. Review of the physical therapy Discharge
summary dated [DATE], revealed that the resident required staff assistance for transfers and walking. The
physical therapist recommended a restorative nursing program for Resident 147. Staff was to assist the
resident to walk 150 feet daily with a walker while staff followed with a wheelchair. Review of Resident 147's
current care plan revealed that he was dependent on staff assistance for transfers and that he was to walk
150 feet with staff assistance. In an interview on February 20, 2024, at 12:00 p.m., Resident 147 stated that
staff did not offer to walk him consistently, he desired to walk daily, and that he would not refuse an offer to
walk. Review of nursing documentation from January 27, 2024, through February 22, 2024, revealed there
was a lack of documentation to support that the resident received restorative nursing services on February
4, 9, 11, 20, and 22, 2024.
