F 0677 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some During an observation on 03/05/25 at 9:43 a.m., during wound care, it revealed Resident #2 had ashy dry patches and flaky skin from below the knee, but from the ankle to the sole of the feet had more caked-up dry skin. During an interview on 03/05/25 at 10:22 a.m., the Wound care nurse said Resident #1 had ashy, dried skin; some skin was flaking off, and others were caked up from below the knee to the soles of his feet. The wound care nurse said Resident #2 had more dried patches of skin on the top and bottom of his feet and had some flaky skin around the pressure ulcer on both heels. She said Resident #2 had dry, flaky skin that could cause the Resident #2 skin to crack, which could cause an open wound. The Wound care nurse said Resident #2's baseline was dry skin because his skin had been dry and flaky since she started working in the facility. The Wound care nurse said she had not reported Resident #2 dry skin on the legs to the floor nurse or the DON. The Wound care nurse said she had not had any skills check-off or in-service on skin assessment in this facility. The wound care nurse said she did not know who monitored the nurse to ensure the nurse provided care for the resident. The Wound care nurse said the charge nurse monitored the aides during rounding. During an interview on 03/05/24 at 10:45 a.m., LVN V said she was Resident #2's nurse. LVN V said the aides shower Resident #2 and should apply lotion on the resident on shower days and daily. LVN V said none of his aides reported to her that Resident #2 skin was dry. LVN V said she did not notice Resident #2 skin was dry when she worked with her yesterday, and none of the aides from yesterday told her Resident # 2 was dry and flaky. LVN V said she just saw Resident #2's skin; his skin was ashy and dry, and some skin was flaking off from below his knees to his feet. She said if Resident #2's skin was not taken care of, it could cause the skin to crack and open, which could cause skin breakdown. She said the charge nurse monitored the aides, and the nurse managers monitored the nurse during random rounding. During an interview on 03/06/25 at 10:10 a.m., the NP said he was unsure if the facility notified him that Resident #2 skin was dry and flaky. The NP said he suspected Resident #2 had vascular diseases and the skin would be dry and flaky; even after staff applied lotion, it would not stop the resident skin from being dry and flaky. The NP said he may order lotion for the resident and see if it helps. The NP said if Resident #2's skin continues to be dry and flaky, the area could open and get infected. During an interview on 03/06/25 at 11:41 a.m., the DON said Resident #2 had dry and scaley skin on his legs and feet. The DON said none of the staff told her about Resident #2's dry skin. The DON said she would have told the staff to clean the skin and apply lotion on the skin daily. The DON said the wound care nurse does skin assessment for Resident #2 on Wednesdays, and she should have documented that Resident #2's skin was dry and flaky and notified the floor nurse that Resident #2's skin was dry and flaky. The DON said the nurse manager for the unit monitors the nurses during random rounding while the floor nurse monitors the aides during rounding. She said the nurse had a skills - check upon employment. During an interview on 03/06/25 at 12:46 p.m., CNA R said she had been working in the facility for a month, and Resident #2 skin had been dry and flaky below the knees to his feet. CNA R said she did not tell the nurse or DON because she thought that the dry and flaky skin was normal for Resident #2. CNA R said the floor nurse monitored the aides when she made random rounds. CNA R said when she gave Resident #2 a bed bath on his shower days, she applied the facility lotion on the resident, but it did not relieve the dry skin. She said Resident #2 was dry and flaky, and his skin would break down.

RN C said after reviewing the shower sheets for Resident #1, he said Resident #1 sometimes refused his showers because of exhaustion or pain. When RN C was asked whenever resident was in pain or exhausted, did he medicate for the pain or if resident was exhausted, did he allow resident to rest and revisit Resident #1 to provide a shower. RN C did not answer the question asked. Further interview with RN C said when residents were not provided their showers on a consistent basis, it placed the resident at risk for skin ailments such as skin break down, odor, and not feeling good about themselves. RN C said if resident care was not documented, it was considered not done. Record Review of Resident #1's POC reflected no documentation of resident refusing their showers. Interview on 03/06/25 at 3:48PM with the DON said after reviewing Resident #1's POC, the DON said it did not reflect resident refusing his showers. The DON said when a resident was not receiving their showers on a consistent basis, it could place resident at risk for skin breakdown, odors, and cause psychological effects due to the resident not feeling clean or good about themselves. The DON said the facility would have to work on ensuring all residents received their schedule showers on a consistent basis and documenting not only on the shower sheet butt in the POC as well. The DON said the unit nurses were supposed to make sure that the CNA's were giving the residents their schedule showers and the Unit Manager was supposed to be following up to ensure that this was being done. Interview on 03/07/25 at 8:09AM Resident #1 said when he did not receive his showers, it made him feel itchy and unclean because he sweats a lot. Resident #1 said he received his shower on 03/06/25 and that the CNA that provided him the shower was the same CNA that was making up excuses why she could not shower him. Record review of Resident #1's shower sheet revealed the CNA who provided Resident #1's shower was CNA D. Interview on 03/07/25 at 8:20AM with the Unit Manager said she was the only unit manager at the facility.

F 0687 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some toenails on both feet were long while some were straight; one was growing upward, and one was coved downward. She said the podiatrist cut the resident's toenails. She said she told the social worker about the residents' toenails for about two weeks, and podiatry comes to the facility once every three months. The Wound care nurse said Resident #2's toenails had been long since she started working (December 19, 2024). The Wound care nurse said Resident #2 could scratch himself with long toenails and could get a fungi infection if the podiatrist and the staff did not provide proper foot care to Resident #2. She said she did not have a skills check on nail care or in-service and did not know who monitored the nurses. During an interview on 03/05/24 at 10:45 a.m., LVN V said she saw Resident #2's toenails were long and discolored, and she had not reported it to the unit manager or SW (social worker). LVN V said if Resident #2 hits his toenails, it could cause injury. LVN V said she had a skills check-off on skin and toenails. LVN V said if the staff did not provide foot care for Resident #2, his toenails could crack, and the resident could get infected. LVN V said Resident #2's toenails had been long since she started working in the facility (November 2024). LVN V did not respond when asked why she did not report to the nurse managers or social worker that Resident #2's toenails were long. During an interview on 03/05/25 at 1:50 p.m., the Podiatrist said the social worker texted around 11:00 a.m. It was the first time the facility informed him about Resident #2's toenails. He said the SW texted him about Resident #2 and asked if he could see him today. She sent Resident #2's face sheet to his office, and his office said they do not accept his insurance, and the SW said the administrator said the facility would pay. The Podiatrist said Resident #2 had long sub-fungal toenails. He said he took care of Resident #2's toenails; they look good now. He said you could read the notes, and he gave the hard copy to the administrator. He said if he had been notified earlier, he would have taken care of Resident #2's nails before now, and maybe he would not have tiny cracks and fungi. During an interview on 03/06/25 at 9:01 a.m., SW said she was unaware Resident #2's toenails were long until yesterday, when the administrator notified her to inform the podiatrist to come yesterday and cut Resident #2's feet. During an interview on 03/06/25 at 9:13 a.m., the Administrator said the wound care nurse told him that Resident #2's toenails were long, and he told the SW to contact the podiatrist on 03/05/25. The Administrator said if Resident #2 had long nails with fungus and if it was not treated promptly, the fungus infection could worsen. He said the unit managers and DON monitored the nurses. The Administrator said the facility offers foot care from a podiatrist as needed because most residents are short-stay. During an interview on 03/06/25 at 10:10 a.m., the NP said he was not aware Resident #2's toenails were long and had fungus. He said if the facility had notified him, he would written a consult for the podiatrist before yesterday (03/05/25). During an interview on 03/07/25 at 7:46 a.m., the DON said none of the nurses or aides told her Resident #2 had long toenails, and if she knew, she would have asked the nurse to get a podiatrist consult before Wednesday (03/05/25). The DON said if the staff and podiatrist had provided foot care for Resident #2 earlier, it would have prevented fungus infection.
