An observation and interview of Resident #3 on 01/13/25 at 11:40am revealed Resident had left contracted
hand and stated they are not doing anything about her hands or legs.
An observation and interview of Resident #3 on 1/14/25 at 10:42am in her room. She had no splint on
either hand or stated that they will not help her. She stated the facility only does minimum and would like to
leave the facility because they do not help.
An interview with RN D on 1/14/25 at 4:09pm revealed Resident #3 had contracture on her knee however
RN D stated she had not noticed contractures on either hand. She did not think she had Resident #3 down
for a splint but would check. She stated that monitoring for decline of Resident #3 mobility was continuous
and the same for every patient.
An observation of Resident #3 on 1/15/24 at 8:49am in resident's room and she was asleep in her bed. She
had no splint to either hand.
An interview with CNA H on 1/15/24 at 9:15am revealed Resident #3 would resist care and would tell
people to get out. Resident could move herself on her bed. Resident had a strong dominant side and could
pull up but only when she wanted to. Resident could move both her hands. CNA H stated Resident #3 had
a splint or had one a long time ago. CNA H stated if she thought there was an issue with a new contracture,
she would tell the nurse and the rehab director.

flexibility, and strength to improve ADLs. Resident #3 had OT on 9/25/24 for contractor management and
positioning. She was discharged from OT on 11/05/24 due to plateauing on some of her range of motion
goals. The contracture was on the left side. He stated there was an order for splint on 11/5/24. If a resident
had a significant change in condition the nurse would refer her back to therapy. The risk to the resident for
not using the splint would be decrease range of motion and increase in contracture.

Record review of Resident #12 physician order dated 1/14/25 reflected, Contracture Management: May
wear L Resting splint as tolerated to decrease risk of contractures. Twice A Day; 06:00 AM - 2:00 PM and
2:00 PM - 10 PM.
In an observation on 01/13/25 10:19 AM revealed Resident #12 was sitting in the hallway in a chair. He had
a contracture on his left hand and did not have a splint.
In an observation on 01/14/25 09:38 AM revealed Resident #12 with contractures and no splint on his left
hand. Resident #12 was grimacing and held his left wrist with his right hand. Resident was aphasic and
answered yes or no questions. Resident nodded no when asked if he could open his left hand. Resident
also nodded No when asked if he wore a splint.
In an interview on 1/14/25 at 9:56 AM, LVN C stated she did not know if Resident #12 had a splint for his
contractures on left hand. She stated that she was aware he had contractures but did not know if Resident
#12 had OT therapy. She stated that she had not splint on his hand for the last 3-4 months since she
worked at the facility.
In an observation and Interview on 01/14/25 12:21 PM of Resident#12's left hand, revealed that Resident
#12 had splint on his left hand. Resident #12 nodded yes to therapy providing him with the splint.
In an interview on 01/14/25 02:11 PM, the DOR revealed Resident #12 was on OT therapy twice during his
stay at the facility for contracture management. He stated Resident #12 was discharged from Occupational
Therapy on 12/2/24 due to plateauing on some of her range of motion goals. The DOR revealed after the
resident was discharged , it was up to the nurses to continue with the splint order. The DOR revealed the
splint was used to protect contractures getting worse, getting indication on the skin and pain as well as
increased need for help with ADLs.
In a phone interview on 01/14/25 at 02:39 PM with COTA G revealed Resident #12 had contractures on left
hand since admission to the facility. He stated that a splint was provided for his contractures that Resident
#12 could wear for 3-4 hours per his comfort level. He stated he was called By LVN C in the morning of
1/14/25 and asked about Resident #12 splint. He stated Resident #12's splint was in the drawers in
Resident #12's room and had clothes on top of it.
An interview with DON on 1/15/25 10:07am revealed that the facility handled patients who needed splints
for contractures by reviewing recommendations with rehab for the splint. Then during standup meetings the
resident's need for splint would be discussed. The orders for a splint would be in the system for all staff to
be able to see it. The risk of not following recommendation from rehab on the split for contracture, was that
the contractures could increase, and the residents could have an increased need for help with ADLs.
An interview with Administrator on 1/15/25 10:30am revealed that his expectations for managing
contractors were for care staff to note them, then notify DON and DON would make referral to rehab. His
expectation was that therapy would provide any recommendations to the DON and possibly an order for
any recommendations such as splints. Recommendation from rehab were given through the 24-hour report
and should be in the Care Plan. MDS would make any updates within 72 hours. If all care staff were
unaware of a need, such as a splint for a contracture, it could cause further decline for the resident.
