F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **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 ensure that the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment was completed to accurately reflect the resident's current status for one of 24 sampled residents. (Resident 26) Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Clinical record review revealed that on March 11, 2024, a physician ordered for Resident 26 to be provided with hospice services. Review of the MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed that staff did not indicate that the resident had hospice services in place during the review period.

In an interview on July 12, 2024, at 9:45 a.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that the MDS assessment did not identify that Resident 26 received hospice services. 395939 Page 2 of 5 395939 07/12/2024 Complete Care at Lehigh LLC 1718 Spring Creek Road MacUngie, PA 18062

A physician's order dated May 30, 2024, directed staff to obtain a daily weight and to notify the provider for a weight gain of greater than or equal to two pounds (lbs.) in one day. There was no evidence that staff obtained the resident's weight or that the resident refused to be weighed on June 3, 7, 8, 29, 2024, or July 8, 2024. Further review of the clinical record revealed that on June 24, 2024, the resident weighed 130.1 lbs. and on June 25, 2024, the resident weighed 133.8 lbs., which reflected a 3.7 lb. gain in 24 hours.

(Residents 35, 54) Findings include: Clinical record review revealed that Resident 35 had diagnoses that included muscle weakness. Review of an occupational therapy discharge assessment dated [DATE], revealed that staff recommended a daily restorative nursing program (RNP) for active range of motion to both arms.

Clinical record review revealed that Resident 54 had diagnoses that included dementia, hemiplegia (weakness or paralysis of one side of the body), and a right hand contracture. Review of the MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed that the resident had cognitive impairment and was dependent on staff for personal hygiene and dressing. On March 27, 2023, the physician ordered for staff to apply a carrot splint to Resident 54's right hand at all times. Review of the care plan revealed that the resident had a risk of limitation in movement and the intervention was for staff to apply the splint on her right hand at all times except when care was being provided. Observations on July 9, 2024, at 9:40 a.m., July 10, 2024, at 10:16 a.m. and 2:35 p.m., and July 11, 2024, at 10:15 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., revealed that the resident was in her chair and the right hand carrot splint was not in place. 28 Pa.
