Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to provide personal privacy during personal care
for 1 of 6 Residents (Resident #1) who were reviewed for care. CNA A failed to ensure Resident #1 was not
exposed to anyone passing his room when she opened Resident #1's door during care. This deficient
practice could place residents at risk for feeling embarrassed and compromise the resident's dignity. The
findings were:Review of Resident #1's admission MDS assessment, dated 1/23/26, revealed he was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of malnutrition, cerebral infarction (stroke) due to occlusion
or stenosis (blockage/narrowing) of small artery, dysphagia (trouble swallowing) following cerebral
infarction, encounter with attention to gastrostomy (enteral feeding) and cognitive communication deficit
(condition where cognitive impairments, rather than language or speech problems, disrupt a person's ability
to communicate effectively). Further review revealed Resident #1's BIMS score was severely cognitive
impaired, he was totally dependent for all ADL care including toileting and personal hygiene, and he had a
feeding tube. Review of Resident #1's Care Plan, revised on 2/6/26, read Resident #1 had Impaired
Communication due to: CVA (stroke) with aphasia (trouble swallowing), cognitive communication deficit,
impaired physical functioning related to cognitive impairment, debility/weakness, Hemiplegia/Hemiparesis
(paralysis), neurological disease CVA (stroke), prolonged hospitalization, lack of coordination, abnormalities
of gait and mobility and required 1 to 2 persons with toileting and hygiene. Further review revealed Resident
#1 required enteral tube feeding related to oropharyngeal (middle section of the throat) dysphagia (trouble
swallowing), failure to thrive. Observation and interview on 2/12/26 at 11:38 AM revealed CNA A came out
of Resident #1's room. She opened the door exposing Resident #1 who was in bed A (closest to the door).
The privacy curtain was pulled but it was not pulled around the foot of the bed. Resident #1 was lying in bed
wearing only a brief. He was not wearing anything else and was connected to a G-tube. CNA A stated she
opened the door to get help from another CNA. She stated she needed assistance with Resident #1.
Interview on 2/12/26 at 2:17 PM with CNA A revealed she had worked at the facility for about 8 months.
CNA A stated she was changing Resident #1 when she opened the door. She stated she was able to
protect Resident #1's privacy as best as I could. CNA A stated usually she would pull the privacy curtain to
the edge of the bed. She stated she never pulled the privacy curtain all the way around the bed because it
was not long enough to go around the bed. CNA A stated she did not draw the curtain to cover the foot of
the bed closest to the door because she did not want to expose Resident #1 to his roommate. CNA A
stated she needed help with turning Resident #1 towards her so she could secure the brief around
Resident #1's waist. CNA A stated Resident #1 was normally a one person assist but he was more stiff
than usual. She stated he had paralysis on his left side. CNA A stated Resident #1 was not really aware of
what was going on. CNA A stated if it was her or a family member lying in bed only wearing a brief, she
would not like it. She stated she would probably be cold and would feel exposed to other people passing by

Provide appropriate foot care.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure provide foot care and treatment, in
accordance with professional standards of practice, including to prevent complications from the resident's
medical condition(s) and If necessary, assist the resident in making appointments with a qualified person,
and arranging for transportation to and from such appointments for 1 of 1 Resident (Resident #2) who was
reviewed podiatry care. Nursing staff failed to ensure they cut Resident #2's toenails and/or that they
referred Resident #2 to a podiatrist for care as needed. This failure could place residents at risk of
experiencing pain when wearing footwear or poor hygiene. The findings were: Review of Resident #2's face
sheet, dated 2/13/26, revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including paranoid
schizophrenia (condition that affects how people think, feel and behave. It may result in a mix of
hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking and behavior) and generalized anxiety. Review of
Resident #2's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed his BIMS score was 13 of 15 reflective of no cognitive
impairment and he required substantial to maximum assistance with personal hygiene. Review of a local
podiatry group schedule, dated 1/24/26, revealed they provided podiatry services to multiple residents in
the facility. Further review revealed Resident #2 was not on the list. Review of Resident #2's physician
orders for February 2026 revealed he had an order for podiatry care. Observation and interview on 2/12/26
at 11:15 AM with Resident #2 revealed he was lying in bed. He spoke very slowly and his speech was
somewhat unclear but understandable. Further observation revealed Resident #2's toenails were long and
about 1/2 an inch past his nailbeds. He stated he needed them cut and one of the CNA's tried to clip them
but they were too thick. Resident #2 stated he preferred podiatry to do it. He stated he had not seen a
podiatrist since he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Interview on 2/12/26 at 11:25 AM with charge
nurse, LVN C revealed Resident #2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and had a diagnosis of
Schizophrenia and Anxiety. She stated charge nurses conducted weekly skin checks and should note any
problems with the residents' feet including long toenails. She stated there was nothing in Resident #2's
progress notes reflecting he needed a referral to podiatry. She stated Resident #2 was not Diabetic but if
his toenails were thick they would refer residents to podiatry. Observation and interview on 2/12/26 at 11:30
AM revealed Resident #2 was lying in bed. LVN C asked Resident #2 if she could look at his feet which
were fully exposed. LVN C stated his toenails were about 1/2 inch past the nailbed and they needed to get
cut. She stated the great toenails were very thick. She stated she would let the SW know to refer Resident
#2 to podiatry. LVN C stated she had not noticed the length of his toenails before today (2/12/26). Interview
on 2/12/26 at 2:00 PM with the DON revealed staff would not document the condition of a resident's long
toenails on the weekly skin sheets. She stated nursing staff would report any problems during morning
meetings and let the SW know when residents needed ancillary services. She stated she did not
necessarily require staff to document the need for podiatry care in a progress note but expected staff to let
the SW know about it so the SW could refer a resident for podiatry care. The DON stated all residents had
standing orders for podiatry care. The DON stated it was important to refer the residents for podiatry care
as needed for good hygiene and for dignity. She stated residents who had long toenails might also
experience discomfort when they wore footwear. Interview on 2/12/26 at 3:52 PM with the SW revealed any
staff working with Resident #2 could let her know he needed podiatry care. She stated she reviewed the
last podiatry list of residents who were seen and Resident #2 was not seen. She stated It was important to
help Resident #2 maintain good foot hygiene and if it was important to the resident then we get it done for
them. The SW stated it could also be painful for Resident #2 when he wore shoes. Review of a facility
