shampooing and grooming of hair, oral hygiene, shaving or beard trimming, cleaning glasses, hearing aids
and cleaning/cutting of fingernails and toenails. NOTE: Residents with diabetes shall have nail cutting
performed by a licensed nurse or the podiatrist.
A Resident Face Sheet revealed the facility admitted Resident #7 on 01/21/2022. The Resident Face Sheet
revealed Resident #7 had a medical history that included diagnoses of Parkinson's disease without
dyskinesia, unspecified schizophrenia, and other chronic pain.
An annual Minimum Data Set (MDS), with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 01/24/2025, indicated

thick, fragile, and separate from the nail bed). The record revealed the dead tissue was removed from the
resident's nails, the dystrophic nails (nail deformity such as thickening or unusual curves) were trimmed,
and nail avulsion (removal of part or all of a nail from the nail bed) was completed.
An interview was held with Resident #7 on 03/17/2025 at 1:36 PM. Resident #7 stated one of their biggest
concerns was the irregularity of podiatry services. The resident stated their toenails needed to be clipped.
The resident was unable to remember the last time podiatry had visited.
An observation was made on 03/19/2025 at 10:14 AM, accompanied by Registered Nurse (RN) #1. The
three middle toenails on Resident #7's left foot had curled under the end of the toe and were touching the
bottom of the resident's toes. Resident #7 stated their feet hurt but was unable to specify the type of pain or

the toenails because the nails were so thick. CNA #3 stated she had seen Resident #7's feet on 03/18/2025

provided.
