What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

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 observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the comprehensive assessment accurately reflected the resident's status for 1 of 5 Residents (Resident #1) whose assessment records were reviewed. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed when nursing staff did not code on Section GG of MDS Comprehensive assessment dated [DATE] that Resident #1 had functional limitation in range of motion to her upper extremity. This deficient practice could affect residents and contribute to residents not receiving care and services as needed. The findings included: Review of Resident #1's face sheet, printed 04/29/25, revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]/24 with a primary diagnoses of myopathy (a disease of the muscle in which muscle fibers do not function properly), Rheumatoid Arthritis (an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks to joints, causing inflammation, pain and potential joint damage), Osteoarthritis (a degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of joint tissues over time), Osteoporosis a condition that causes bone loss and increases the risk of fractures), Osteopenia (a condition characterized by lower than normal bone density which makes bones weaker and more susceptible to fractures), contractures of multiple sites (structural changes to soft and connective tissues that cause them to stiffen, tighten and contract that causes tissues to lose their former elasticity and range of motion), chronic pain, hypermetropia (far sightedness), Hypertension, anxiety, insomnia, and muscle atrophy (wasting or thinning of muscle mass). Record review of Resident #1's MDS, dated [DATE], revealed it was noted that the resident had no impairment to upper extremity (should, elbow, wrist, hand). Interview and observation on 04/29/2025 at 11:20 AM with Resident #1 revealed she had suffered with hand contractures from Rheumatoid Arthritis for many years. Resident #1 presented with left hand contractures and no assistive device was in place. Interview on 04/29/2025 at 1:08 PM with MDS Coordinator LVN A revealed Resident #1's MDS Comprehensive assessment, dated 02/13/2025, did not capture that Resident #1 has limited range of motion secondary to contractures. LVN A stated it was important to accurately reflect Resident #1's status so staff would provide the necessary care and services needed. Record review of Resident #1's Care Plan problem, dated 2/14/24, revealed Resident #1 required assistance of staff to transfer and that resident has contractures.
