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
observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the assessment accurately
reflected the resident's status for 5 (Residents #6, #17, #19, #53 and #67) out of 24 residents reviewed for
MDS assessments.
Residents Affected - Some
1. Facility failed to ensure Resident #6's quarterly MDS assessment with an ARD of 03/23/2024 reflected
resident receiving hospice services.
2. Facility failed to ensure Resident #17's significant change MDS assessment with an ARD of 03/12/2024
reflected resident receiving hospice services.
3. Resident #19's quarterly MDS assessment with an ARD of 04/01/2024 inaccurately reflected her
pressure sore status, interventions, and treatments as none when she had a Stage 3 (full thickness tissue
loss) pressure sore to her sacrum (a shield shaped bony structure located at the base of the spine and
connects the pelvis (the area of the body below the abdomen that contains the hip bones, bladder and
rectum)), with interventions and treatment.
4. Resident #53's quarterly MDS assessment with an ARD of 03/16/2024 inaccurately reflected he was
frequently incontinent of bowel and bladder when he was always incontinent of bowel and bladder.
5. Resident #67's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] inaccurately reflected he was always
incontinent of bladder instead of not rated because he had an indwelling urinary catheter.
These deficient practices could affect residents with MDS assessments and could result in inaccurate care.
The findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #6's physician orders dated 04/17/2024 revealed Resident #6 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included: acute pulmonary edema, heart failure, unspecified,
chronic kidney disease stage 3 unspecified, dementia, acute kidney failure, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes
mellitus with hyperglycemia, unspecified atrial fibrillation, essential hypertension, and type 2 diabetes

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on

person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights, that includes measurable
objective and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that
are identified in the comprehensive assessment for 3 residents (Residents #19, #53 and 127) of 24
residents reviewed for care plans.
1. Facility failed to implement Resident #19's care plan which reflected she required a floor mat beside her
bed as a fall prevention.
2. Facility failed to ensure Resident #53's bowel and bladder incontinence was reflected in his
comprehensive care plan with a revised date of 12/11/2023.
3. Facility failed to ensure Resident #127's hospice services were reflected in his comprehensive care plan
with a revised date of 02/18/2024.
These deficient practices could affect residents who required specific care, services and interventions by
placing them at risk of not receiving necessary care and services.
The findings included:
1.Record review of Resident #19's electronic face sheet dated 04/16/2024 reflected she was originally

feet (a pattern of walking that is unstable).
Record review of Resident #19's quarterly MDS assessment with an ARD of 04/01/2024 reflected she
scored a 02/15 on her BIMS which signified she was severely cognitively impaired. She had 2 or more falls
since admission and was dependent on care for her ADL's.

person-centered care plan for one (Resident #56) out of 24 residents reviewed for comprehensive care
plans.
Resident #56's comprehensive care was not revised to reflect he was on an LCS/NAS regular texture diet.
This deficient practice could affect residents placing them at risk for not receiving necessary care.
The findings included:

facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included: dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions
that interferes with doing everyday activities), syncope and collapse (fainting and passing out), dysphagia
(difficulty swallowing) and weakness (lack of strength).
Record review of Resident #56's quarterly MDS assessment with an ARD of 01/03/2024 reflected he
scored a 04/15 on his BIMS which signified he was severely cognitively impaired. He could understand and
be understood. He only required setup for eating or clean up assistance. He was on a therapeutic diet but
not on a mechanically altered diet.
Record review of Resident #56's comprehensive care plan revised date 06/23/23 reflected Focus, is at risk

be updated right after the quarterly MDS which was in January. She stated the care plan needed to reflect
the MDS assessment so the resident would get appropriate care and not the wrong diet.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident who is incontinent of
bladder receives appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections and to restore
continence to the extent possible for 1 of 2 resident (Residents #53) reviewed for incontinent care.:
While providing incontinent care for Resident #53, CNA C did not return Resident #53's foreskin to the
original position.
This deficient practice could place residents at-risk for infection, paraphimosis (urologic emergency in
uncircumcised males) and skin break down due to improper care practices.
The findings were:
Record review of Resident #53's electronic face sheet dated 04/18/2024 reflected he was originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. His diagnoses included: epilepsy (a
neurological disorder marked by sudden episodes of sensory disturbance, loss of consciousness or
convulsions associated with abnormal electrical activity in the brain), unsteadiness on feet (a pattern of
walking that's unstable), repeated falls (older adults who fall more than once per year), weakness (state of
condition of lacking strength) and other malaise (a general feeling of discomfort).
Record review of Resident #53's quarterly MDS assessment with an ARD of 03/16/2024 reflected he
scored a 15/15 on his BIMS which signified he was cognitively intact. He was frequently incontinent of
bowel and bladder. He was dependent for his ADLS's except for eating which he only required set up. Toilet
transfer was not attempted.
Record review of Resident #53's comprehensive care plan revised date 12/11/23 did not reflect he was
incontinent of bowel and bladder, and only reflected Focus, ADL self-care performance deficit r/t epilepsy (a
neurological disorder that causes seizures or unusual sensations and behaviors), Interventions, Toilet Use,
requires staff assistance.
Observation on 04/18/2024 at 03:59 PM of CNA C and CNA D performing incontinent care for Resident
#53 revealed CNA C pulled Resident #53's foreskin back to clean his penis and did not return the foreskin
to its original position.
Interview on 04/18/2024 at 4:15 PM with CNA C, she stated she did not know why she did not return
Resident #53's foreskin to its original position after she retracted it to clean his penis. She stated she was
nervous. She stated she was trained to return the foreskin of a male during incontinent care and if it were
not returned it could cause irritation, swelling and infection of the penis.
Interview on 04/18/2024 at 4:20 PM with CNA D, she stated she assisted CNA C with Resident #53's
incontinent care and did not realize CNA C had not pulled the foreskin back down after cleaning Resident
#53's penis. She stated she was trained on how to pull the foreskin back down on an uncircumcised (refers
to penis that has a foreskin) male during incontinent care and she was not thinking at the time. She stated if
the foreskin does not get pulled back to the original position, Resident #53 could get an infection or irritation
to the area.

sanitation.
The facility failed to ensure [NAME] I prepared the pureed pasta salad in a sanitary fashion.
The facility failed to ensure insulated plate lids and insulated plate bases were air dried prior to stacking
