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 review, the facility failed to ensure that assessments accurately
reflected the resident's status for one (Resident #5) of eight residents reviewed for Accuracy of
Assessments.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #5's Comprehensive MDS Assessment accurately reflected that
Resident #5 had an impairment to her right upper extremity.
This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving care and services to meet their needs, diminished
function of health, and regressions in their overall health.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #5's Face Sheet, dated 10/16/2024, revealed the resident was an [AGE] year-old
female admitted on [DATE]. One of the relevant diagnosis was unspecified joint contracture (tightening of
the muscles, tendons, skin, and surrounding tissues that causes the joints to shorten and stiffen).
Review of Resident #5's Comprehensive MDS Assessment, dated 08/16/2024, revealed the resident was
unable to complete the interview to determine the BIMS score. Section GG - Functional Abilities and Goals
GG0115, dated 08/16/2024, revealed Resident #5 had no impairment to the upper extremity. According to
Section GG, upper extremity was constituted by the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand.
Review of Resident #5's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 09/23/2024, reflected the resident had limited
physical mobility and the goal was the resident would be free from complications related to immobility
including contractures and skin breakdown.
Review of Resident #5's Physician's Order, dated 08/15/2024, reflected Soft towel rolled inside right palm
during day shift and off at HS. Every shift for contracture off at night.
Observation on 10/16/2023 at 9:17 AM revealed LVN E was about to administer Resident #5's medication.
She said she would first reposition the resident, who was lying on her right side, before giving the
medications. LVN E rolled the resident to a flat position, with the head of the bed elevated. It was observed
that the right hand of the resident had a contracture and was clutching a towel.
In an interview with LVN E on 10/17/2024 at 7:14 AM, LVN E said Resident #5 had a contracture to her
right hand. She said the lower extremities were always bended but the resident could straighten them if the
resident wanted to.

Observation and interview with the MDS Nurse on 10/17/2024 at 7:27 AM, the MDS Nurse stated the MDS
should reflect the current status of the resident. She said the functional status must reflect if the resident
had any impairment or not. The MDS Nurse said she would base her assessment on the documentation
and what she saw. She said the care plan was also based on the assessments. The MDS Nurse logged on
to her computer and looked for the resident's profile. The MDS Nurse checked on the functional status of
the resident and saw that the resident's MDS did not reflect any impairment. She said she was not sure if
the resident's contracture would be considered as an impairment. She said when she assessed the upper
extremities, she would observe if the resident could move the arm from the shoulder. She said she would
ask her superior to know if the contracture to the right hand was considered as an impairment.
Interview with the MDS Nurse on 10/17/2024 at 7:40 AM, the MDS Nurse said the resident's contracted
right hand was considered as an impairment. She said she would be doing an in-service with the
Administrator and she would audit those residents with contractures and modify their MDS. She said an
accurate MDS was important because it would be the basis of the care needed by the resident. If the
assessment was not accurate, the current status of the resident would not be correct resulting to confusion
in her care. This could also result in the resident not getting the appropriate care needed.
In an interview with CNA D on 10/17/2024 at 8:10 AM, CNA D stated Resident #5 could not use her hands
because they were tight, especially the right hand. CNA D said he had been in the facility for almost two
and a half years and had seen Resident #5's right hand to be contracted. He said the only treatment for the
right hand was to put a rolled towel inside the hand.
In an interview with PT F on 10/17/2024 at 8:17 AM, PT F stated a contracture was considered an
impairment because due to the tightening of the muscles, there was a loss of function. PT F said Resident
#5's contracted hand could be considered as an impairment. She said a soft towel was placed inside the
resident's hand to prevent it from excoriation (abrasion of the skin's surface).
In an interview with the DON on 10/17/2024 at 8:24 AM, the DON stated the MDS should reflect the actual
functionality of the resident. She said if the resident had an impairment, it should have been assessed
correctly and mirrored on the MDS. If the residents were not properly assessed, the proper care and needs
would not be met. The DON said the expectation was the residents were properly assessed not only during
admission but every day to see if there was a change in condition, any refusal of care, or resident acting
different than usual. She said she would coordinate with the MDS Nurse to do an audit of the MDS
Assessments.
In an interview with the ADON on 10/17/2024 at 8:33 AM, the ADON stated if there were impairments to
the upper extremity and lower extremity, the MDS should have a record of it. ADON said there should be
proper communication between the staff to ensure proper assessments were done. If there was no
accurate assessment, there could be a confusion about the care needed by the resident. She said she
would coordinate with the DON and the MDS Nurse on how to address the issue.
In an interview with the Administrator on 10/17/2024 at 8:55 AM, the Administrator stated accurate
assessments should be done to know what kind of care and services would be required. He said if the
assessment was not accurate, the needed care of the resident would not be met. He said the expectation
was the residents would be assessed accurately to provide the appropriate care needed. He said he would
coordinate with the DON and the MDS Nurse to check the MDS, not only of the residents with contractures,
but of all the residents.

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
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights set forth that included
measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial
needs that were identified in the comprehensive assessment for a resident for one (Resident #13) of eight
residents reviewed for Care Plans.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #13 was care planned for her colostomy (Opening in the belly done
surgically to create a new passageway for feces. One end of the large intestine would be redirected out of
the abdominal wall and a colostomy bag would be in place to catch the feces).
This failure could place the residents at risk of not receiving the necessary care and services needed.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #13's Face Sheet, dated 10/16/2024, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old
female admitted on [DATE]. Resident #13 was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematous (chronic
disease that could cause inflammation and pain).
Review of Resident #13's Comprehensive MDS Assessment, dated 09/20/2024, reflected the resident had
a moderate impairment in cognition with a BIMS score of 12. Resident #13's Comprehensive MDS
Assessment indicated the resident had an ostomy (opening in the abdomen).
Review of Resident #13's Comprehensive Care Plan on 09/04/2024 reflected there was no care plan for
colostomy care.
Review of Resident #13's Physician Order, dated 12/17/2024, reflected change ostomy bag 2 x weekly on
Mondays and Thursdays and prn.
Observation and interview with Resident #13 on 10/15/2024 at 9:10 AM, Resident #13 was in her bed,
awake. She said she had a colostomy bag and the nurse was the one emptying it. She said she did not
want it but her doctor said she might have for a long time. Resident #13 raised her hospital gown to show
her colostomy bag.
Observation and interview with LVN A on 10/16/2024 at 12:11 PM, LVN A stated Resident #13 had a
colostomy bag and she would empty it several times during her shift. After asking permission from the
resident, LVN A lifted the resident's gown to show the resident's colostomy bag located on the resident's
lower left quadrant of the abdomen. The colostomy bag was empty. After showing the colostomy bag, LVN
A went to her cart and looked for the resident's care plan for colostomy. She said there was no care plan for
colostomy. She said the care plan was important so the staff taking care of the resident would be in sync
with the level of care being provided. She said without the care plan for the colostomy, required care might
be missed.
Observation and interview with the MDS Nurse on 10/17/2024 at 7:27 AM, the MDS Nurse stated she was
not the only staff responsible for doing the care plan. She said the DON and the ADON also did the

care plans. She said the care plan for Resident #13's colostomy bag was missed during their IDT
(Interdisciplinary Team) meeting. She said the care plan was dependent on the resident's disease process,
assessment, and the doctor's orders. She said the care plan should reflect the medications they were
taking and the required services they were receiving. She said without the care plan, there could be lapse
on the care needed and the staff would not know how to properly care for the resident's colostomy. The
MDS Nurse opened the resident's profile and saw that a care plan was already in place. The care plan was
created 10/16/2024.
In an interview with the DON on 10/17/2024 at 8:24 AM, the DON stated every resident needed a
comprehensive care plan to make sure the residents received the proper care needed. The DON said the
care plan should be in place so that the staff providing care would be on the same page. The DON stated
the care plan was important because it reflected the resident's problem lists, goals, and intervention. She
said the care plan should be resident-centered and should show what specific care the resident needed.
She said the care plan for Resident # 13's colostomy had been rectified when it was brought to her
attention. She said the expectation was for all residents to have a complete and detailed care plan. She
said she would coordinate with the MDS Nurse to audit for resident's the care plans of the resident.
In an interview with the ADON on 10/17/2024 at 8:33 AM, the ADON stated if a resident had a colostomy,
there should be a care plan for the care of the colostomy. She said the care plan was a snapshot of what
was supposed to be done for the resident, as well as the services provided. She said without the care plan,
the staff would not be in sync on the care of the residents and their needs would not be addressed. She
said the expectation was all the issue of the residents were care planned.
In an interview with the Administrator on 10/17/2024 at 8:55 AM, the Administrator stated the care plans
were important to ensure the residents were getting the care needed. He said care plans served as guides
on how the staff would take care of the residents. The Administrator said without the care plans, the level of
care needed could be missed. The Administrator said the expectation was for the staff to ensure the
residents were care planned accordingly. He said he would coordinate with the DON and the MDS Nurse to
make sure all the residents were care planned.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure that residents who were unable to carry out
activities of daily living received the necessary services to maintain good nutrition, grooming, and personal
and oral hygiene for 1 (Residents #25) of 6 residents reviewed for (ADL) care provided to dependent
residents.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure Resident #25 received scheduled bed baths according to reviews from October
1, 2024 - October 16, 2024.
This failure placed the resident at risk of not receiving necessary services to maintain good personal
hygiene and decreased self- esteem.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #25's Face Sheet, dated 10/17/2024, revealed she was an [AGE] year-old
female admitted on [DATE]. Relevant diagnoses included Parkinson's disease (memory loss) and bed
confinement.
Record review of Resident #25's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed,
she had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12 (moderate impairment) and fo,r ADL care it
stated, for transfers, toileting, and bathing, the resident required total assistance.
Record review of the facility's shower sheet for Resident #25 from 10/01/24 to 10/16/24 reflected a single
shower sheet for the resident dated 10/16/2024.
In an interview on 10/15/24 at 11:01 AM, Resident #25 complained of not getting her bed baths when
scheduled. She stated she was scheduled for her bed baths on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but she
had not received any so far that month. She stated she preferred bed baths because she does not like the
mechanical lift and was happy with her bed baths. She stated she had told a CNA, but they advised her that
they were busy and would get back with her, but they never returned. She stated she would like her bed
baths because she does not like being dirty.
In an interview on 10/17/24 at 12:45 PM, LVN S stated that she knew, for sure, that Resident #25 had
received her bed baths when she was scheduled on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but she was not sure
why there was only one shower sheet recorded for the resident, including the bed bath she had received on
10/16/24. She was advised that the resident stated she had not received her bed baths this month. She
stated the risk of the resident not getting her bed baths could result in the resident having skin breakdown,
and it was a dignity issue.
In an interview on 10/17/24 at 12:45 PM, the ADON stated she was made aware of Resident #25 not
having but one shower sheet on file, as of 10/16/24. She stated she was sure that she had received her
scheduled bed baths and the CNA probably forgot to complete the shower sheets. She confirmed that
CNAs were required to complete shower sheets for all residents, regardless of whether a shower was
provided or refused. She stated the risk of the resident not receiving her bed baths could result in skin
breakdown, she could have a bad smell, and it was a dignity concern.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure that residents' environment
remained free of accident hazards as was possible for 2 (Resident #12 and #30) of 4 residents reviewed for
accident prevention.
The facility failed to obtain physician orders or a physician assessment as of 10/15/24 for Residents #12
and #30, for the usage of a scoop mattress prior to installing the mattress to assist in fall prevention.
This failure could prevent residents from having an environment that was free and clear of accidents and
hazards.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #12's Face Sheet, dated 10/16/2024, reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female
admitted on [DATE]. Relevant diagnoses included difficulty walking, lack of coordination, and history of
falling.
Record review of Resident #12's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] reflected,
she had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 (cognitively intact) and for ADL care it
reflected assistance was required for transfers, toileting, and bathing and the resident was totally
dependent for assistance.
Record review of Resident #12's physician orders dated 10/16/24 reflected no orders for a scoop mattress
and no physician assessment was observed in the facility system records.
An observation on 10/15/24 at 11:40 AM of Resident #12's bed revealed she was sleeping on a scoop
mattress. The upper and lower sides of the mattress had raised sides of at least 6 inches.
Record review of Resident #30's Face Sheet, dated 10/16/2024, reflected she was an [AGE] year-old
female admitted on [DATE]. Relevant diagnoses included muscle weakness, lack of coordination, and
moderate risk of falling.
Record review of Resident #30's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] reflected, she had a
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 10 (moderately impaired cognition), and for ADL care, it
reflected assistance was required for transfers, toileting, and bathing. The resident was totally dependent
for assistance.
Record review of Resident #30's physician orders dated 10/16/24 reflected no orders for a scoop mattress
and no physician assessment was observed in the facility system records.

mattress, they could injure themselves if they tried to get out of the bed.
In an interview and observation on 10/15/24 at 1:00 PM, the ADON was shown resident #12 and #30's
scoop mattresses and she stated that the mattresses were considered therapeutic, and she did not think
that it required physician orders and a physician assessment. She confirmed that there were no physician

An interview and observation on 10/15/24 at 09:40 AM, LVN S was shown Resident #15's nasal cannula
coiled up on the resident's bed and not in a sealed container. She stated that the resident used the oxygen
concentrator on an as needed basis, and she was not sure why it was sitting on the resident's bed and not
placed in a sealed container. She stated the risk of not placing the nasal cannula in a bag when not in use,
could result in the resident getting an infection.
In an interview with the DON on 10/17/2024 at 8:24 AM, the DON stated the nasal cannula, breathing
mask, and the yankauer should be stored properly when not in use to keep them clean. She said if those
breathing apparatuses were not bagged, were exposed, or touching surfaces that were not clean, there
could be cross contamination, respiratory infection, and oxygen administration could be compromised. She
said the expectation was for the staff to be mindful in making sure that the nasal cannula, breathing mask,
and the yankauer were properly stored. She said the nasal cannula, breathing mask, and the yankauer
should be cleaned before storing them. She said the humidifier should always have water in it to prevent
drying of the nose and the throat. She said the staff should refill it as soon as they saw it because they
never knew when they could come back to the resident's room to put water in the humidifier. She said
moving forward, she would make an in-service and re-educate the staff about storing the breathing mask
and the yankauer properly to provide a quality and professional care. She said she would follow-up with that
issue personally.
