(Homestead and C Unit) Findings include: Clinical record review revealed that Resident 42 had diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], revealed that the resident had cognitive impairment, and required supervision with eating. Review of Resident 42's current care plan revealed that the resident was on a restorative nursing program for dining and staff was to provide assistance with meals. Observation on May 7, 2024, from 1:37 p.m. through 1:50 p.m., revealed Resident 42 in the dining room on the Homestead nursing unit eating spaghetti with meat sauce with her fingers. At no time did staff redirect or offer assistance to Resident 42. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 74 had diagnoses that included arthritis and vision problems. Review of the MDS assessment, dated January 31, 2024, revealed that the resident was alert, oriented, and required set-up by staff for all meals. Review of Resident 74's current care plan revealed that the resident was on a restorative nursing program for eating, was at risk for nutrition related problems related to varied intakes at mealtimes, and had difficulty completing activities of daily living due to compromised functional ability and impaired vision. Interventions were for staff to set-up the resident for her meals, and to provide as needed assistance.
