Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure 1of 16 residents reviewed with limited range of motion (Resident #2), received appropriate treatment and services to prevent a decline in range of motion. The facility failed to ensure Resident #2 had interventions in place for her right- and left-hand contracture (A permanent tightening of the muscles, tendons, skin, and surrounding tissues that causes the joints to shorten and stiffen and a decrease in ROM) to prevent further decline of the range of motion in her right and left hand. This deficient practice placed residents with contractures at risk for decrease in mobility, range of motion, and contribute to worsening of contractures.
Findings Include: Review of Resident #2's Face Sheet dated 06/02/2023 reflected an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the following diagnoses Multiple Sclerosis (A disease that affects central nervous system. The immune system attacks the myelin, the protective layer around nerve fibers and causes Inflammation and lesions. This makes it difficult for the brain to send signals to rest of the body), Contracture (A permanent tightening of the muscles, tendons, skin, and surrounding tissues that causes the joints to shorten and stiffen), and Hypertension ( High pressure in the arteries (vessels that carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body). Symptoms varies from person to person and generally include unexplained fatigue and headache). Review of Resident #2's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected Resident #2 was assessed to have a BIMS score of 1 indicating severe cognitive impairment. Resident #2 was assessed to require extensive assist with all ADLs. Resident #2 was further assessed to have limitation in range of motion for both upper extremities. Review of Resident #2's Comprehensive Care Plan (not dated) reflected a problem for limited physical mobility related to contractures. Interventions did not include palm protectors. Review of Resident #2's Consolidated Physician orders dated 06/02/2023 reflected no orders for contracture management or palm protectors. Observation on 05/30/2023 at 10:25 AM revealed Resident #2 in room in bed alert but confused. Resident #2 was observed to have contractures of her bilateral hands. Resident #2's right hand had tissue

Observation of Resident #2's hand revealed no palm protectors in resident's hands and fingernails remained long. In an interview on 06/02/2023 at 10:01 AM LVN E examined Resident #2's hand and stated that Resident #2 hand was contracted, and Resident #2 should have palm protectors in place. LVN E further stated Resident #2's fingernails were long, and they were digging into her palms.

After the DON reviewed Resident #2's care plan she stated there were no interventions listed for contracture devices . The DON stated the nurses are responsible for ensuring care is provided and to ensure nail care is done. The DON stated the residents' nails should have been trimmed because it could lead to pressure ulcers or infection. Review of the facility policy Resident Mobility and Range of Motion dated July 2017 reflected Residents with limited mobility will receive appropriate services, equipment, and assistance to maintain or improve mobility unless reduction in mobility is unavoidable .the care plan will include specific interventions, exercises and therapies to maintain, prevent avoidable decline in, and/or improve mobility and range of motion .

The following Plan of Removal was accepted on 06/01/2023 at 11:57 AM and included: IJ Plan of Removal - Crestview Retirement Community - 05/31/2023 Please accept this Plan of Removal as a credible allegation of compliance for immediate jeopardy initiated on May 31, 2023, for failing to ensure hot liquid temperatures are monitored. The 46 residents of the facility had the potential to be affected by this alleged deficient practice. A. Corrective Action: Dining Services staff immediately removed the coffee pots from the dining room areas and therefore eliminated further access for residents to pour their own cup of coffee. A coffee dispenser that has an external digital temperature readout for the internal liquids has been ordered and will arrive on Tuesday, 06/06/2023. Plan for self-serving coffee dispensers will be to serve at a temperature range of 130-150 degrees
