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 a resident who is unable to carry out
activities of daily living received the necessary services to maintain good grooming and personal hygiene
for 2 (Resident #6 and Resident #8) out of 6 residents.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to provide adequate fingernail grooming for Resident #6 and Resident #8.
This deficient practice could place residents at risk of impaired skin integrity and infection.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #6's face sheet revealed an [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses of parkinsonism (a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including
tremors), dementia (loss of cognitive functioning - thinking, remembering, and reasoning to such an extent
that it interferes with a person's daily life), hemiplegia/hemiparesis (muscle weakness or partial paralysis on
one side of the body) and lack of coordination.
Review of Resident #6's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 06/19/2024, revealed a BIMS score of 03
indicating severe cognitive impairment. MDS further indicated the resident had functional deficits and was
dependent on staff for personal hygiene.
Review of Resident #6's care plan, dated 06/19/2024, revealed the resident was at risk for impaired skin
breakdown related to fragile skin, the resident had hemiplegia/hemiparesis related to previous stroke and
required assistance with ADL's, and the resident had an ADL self care performance deficit. Interventions to
prevent possible skin breakdown included to identify/document potential causative factors and
eliminate/resolve where possible.
Interview and observation on 07/09/2024 at 01:30 PM revealed Resident #6 lying in bed, family member at
bedside. She stated the resident had hand contractures and the staff tried to use handrolls, but the resident
did not like them and would not keep the handrolls in place. Observation of the resident's hands revealed
long fingernails.
Interview and observation on 07/10/2024 at 10:08 AM, Resident #6 was asked and assisted by the ADON
to open hands to view palms and fingernails. Resident had long fingernails with nail indentation noted on
the left palm. No skin breakdown noted. Upon observation of the nails and the resident's palms, the ADON
touched the indented area. The ADON stated the nails were too long and could be a potential cause for
skin breakdown, and she would have someone cut them.
Observation on 07/10/2024 at 02:00 PM revealed Resident #6's nails had not been trimmed.
Observation on 07/11/2024 at 09:00 AM revealed Resident #6's nails had been trimmed.

severe cognitive impairment. MDS further reflected the resident required substantial assistance with
functional abilities.
Review of Resident #8's Care Plan, dated 04/02/2024, reflected the resident had a behavior problem
smearing feces on the wall, had potential for impairment to skin integrity related to fragile skin and the
fingernails should be kept short, the resident had potential for physical behaviors related to dementia and
can be physically abusive and the resident had ADL self care deficit.
Observation and interview on 07/10/2024 at 10:25 AM. Peri care was completed on Resident #8 by CNA A
and observation of the resident's hands revealed the fingernails were long with brown substance
underneath the nails. While providing peri care the CNA A stated the resident often plays with himself and
his urinary catheter.
In an interview on 07/11/2024 at 10:20 AM, CNA A stated the nurses or the hospice team provide nail care
for the residents.
Observation on 07/11/2024 at 11:34 AM revealed Resident #8 sitting in a wheelchair in the dining room.
Fingernails were still long with brown substance under the nails.
In an interview on 07/11/2024 at 12:14 PM, the DON stated it is the responsibility of the charge nurse to
provide nail care for residents. She stated residents with long nails could scratch themselves or others and
possibly get an infection. She stated for residents with contractures, if the nails are too long, they could
scratch their palm and get a wound or possible infection.
Review of facility's nail care policy (no date) reflected nail care should be performed regularly to prevent
infection and injury from scratching by fingernails. Review of the policy reflected the fingernails should be
trimmed and rounded, the resident will be free from abnormal nail conditions, and debris should be
removed from under the nails.

history of psychiatric hospitalization. She is currently being treated by a psychiatrist.
Interview on 07/10/2024 at 3:58 PM, Resident #24 was questioned if she knew she had an active diagnosis
for PTSD and she stated she did not, but that it would make sense. Resident #24 stated that she could not
think of anything that would cause her to think of bad memories from her past. Resident #24 stated that she
could not remember ever speaking with anyone about triggers that may upset her.
Interview on 07/11/2024 at 10:55, the MDS Nurse stated care plans provide staff, the resident, and their
family an overview of the resident's needs to ensure proper care, safety, and functional ability. The MDS
Nurse stated that a resident with a diagnosis of PTSD should have it care planned and the plan should
identify triggers. The MDS Nurse stated failure to properly care plan a resident for PTSD and triggers could
result in a resident being re-traumatized. The MDS Nurse stated she is responsible for including PTSD with
triggers in resident's care plan and that she works with the SW for planning. The MDS Nurse reviewed
Resident #24's electronic health records / care plan and stated she was not care planned for PTSD and
should be.
Interview on 07/11/2024 at 11:11 AM, the DON stated care plans notify staff of care that should be
provided for their residents to meet their needs with the goal of resolving issues. The DON stated failure to
utilize a resident's care plan could lead to improper or lack of care. The DON stated a resident with a
diagnosis of PTSD should have it care planned with triggers and be receiving psychological services. The
DON reviewed their electronic health records for Resident #24 stating that she did have an active diagnosis
for PTSD and that they had failed to care plan for it. The DON stated the failure could result in staff not
being alert to behaviors that should be monitored for Resident #24.
Interview on 07/11/2024 at 11:33 AM, the SW stated she was unsure of their specific trauma informed care
policy but was sure that the company had one. The SW stated that care plan meetings are set up by her
and include input from staff. The SW stated residents with a diagnosis of PTSD should have it care planned
in order to address their needs and behaviors to prevent re-traumatization. The SW stated Resident #24
should have been care planned for PTSD with triggers.
Interview on 07/11/2024 at 12:20 PM, the Administrator stated care plans are individualized and specific to
the resident's needs and must be accurate. The Administrator stated care plans are accomplished with
input from the interdisciplinary team and the DON signs off on them. The Administrator stated Resident
#24's care plan should have included PTSD with triggers to help manage behaviors that may arise during
her care.
Review of the facility's Trauma-Informed Care Policy dated 10/2022 revealed, I. Purpose: The facility must
ensure that residents who are trauma survivors receive culturally competent, trauma-informed care by
professional standards of practice and accounting for residents' experiences and preferences to eliminate
or mitigate triggers that my cause re-traumatization of the resident. IV. Assessment Facilities should use a
multi-pronged approach to identifying a resident's history of trauma as well as his or her cultural preference.
This would include asking the resident about triggers that may be stressors or may prompt recall of a
previous traumatic event, as well as screening and assessment tools such as the Resident Assessment
Instrument (RAI) admission Assessment, the history and physical, the social history/assessment, and
others. Triggers Facilities must identify triggers that may re-traumatize residents with a history of trauma. A
trigger is a psychological stimulus that prompts a recall of a previous traumatic event, even if the stimulus
itself is not traumatic or frightening.

For many trauma survivors, the transition to living in an institutional setting (and the associated loss of
independence) can trigger profound re-traumatization. While most triggers are highly individualized, some
common triggers may include: Experiencing a lack of privacy or confinement in a crowded or small space;
Exposure to loud noises, or bright/flashing lights' Certain sights, such as objects that are associated with
those that used to abuse, and/or Sounds, smells, and even physical touch. Care Planning to Address Past
Trauma: The facility should collaborate with resident trauma survivors, and as appropriate, the resident's
family, friends, and any other health care professionals (such as psychologists, mental health professionals)
to develop and implement individualized interventions. In some cases, if a facility has more than one trauma
survivor, social services might consider establishing a support group that is run by a qualified professional,
or allowing a support group to meet in the facility. In situations where a trauma survivor is reluctant to share
his or her history, facilities are still responsible to try to identify triggers that may re-traumatize the resident
and develop care plan interventions that minimize or eliminate the effect of the trigger on the resident.
Trigger-specific interventions should identify ways to decrease the resident's exposure to triggers that
re-traumatize the resident, as well as identify ways to mitigate or decrease the effect of the trigger on the
resident.

Review of the Facility's In Service Training Topic: labeling and dating. Everything lable and dated before put

C.
Review of the Facility's Dietary Services Policy & Procedure Manual dated 2012 revealed, Food Storage
and Supplies, Procedure: 6. When items are received from the vendor, they should be first examined for
expiration date, and if an expiration date is present, it is beneficial to mark it by circling it so it is readily
visible and noticeable. It is important to distinguish between an expiration date and a production date, or a
best by or use by date. Production dates indicate when the product was manufactured, not when it expires,
and should not be interpreted as a best by or use by date. Best by or use by dates indicate when a product
will have best flavor or quality and are not an indicator of the product's safety. As the quality may deteriorate
after the date passes, the dietary manager should closely inspect any products that are past the best by
date to determine if they are still

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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 establish and maintain an infection control
program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the
development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 1 (Resident #8) of 1 resident.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure CNA A followed standard precautions during peri care for Resident #8 when he
failed to perform hand hygiene and change gloves after cleaning feces.
These failures could place residents at risk for developing infections.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #8's Face Sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE] with readmission
on [DATE]. Diagnoses included urinary tract infection (infection in any part of the urinary system), acute
kidney failure (kidneys suddenly stop working properly), morbid obesity (complex chronic disease in which
a person has a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher) and dementia (loss of cognitive functioning thinking, remembering, and reasoning to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life).
Review of Resident #8's MDS assessment, dated 05/29/2024, reflected a BIMS score of 03 indicating
severe cognitive impairment. MDS further reflected the resident required substantial assistance with
functional abilities.
Review of Resident #8's Care Plan, dated 04/02/2024, reflected the resident had bowel and bladder
incontinence, a behavior problem smearing feces on the wall, a foley catheter and history of urinary tract
infections. Interventions include providing peri care after incontinent episodes.
Observation on 07/10/2024 at 10:08 AM, CNA A providing peri care for Resident # 8 after a bowel
movement. CNA A cleaned the resident with wipes and then proceeded to touch/reposition the foley
catheter tubing, apply a new brief and reposition the resident without washing his hands or changing
gloves. At no time after cleaning the feces did CNA A remove the dirty gloves, perform hand hygiene and
apply new gloves before touching the resident, the catheter and the linens.
In an interview on 07/11/2024 at 10:29 AM, CNA A stated he felt unprepared during peri care for Resident
# 8 the previous day. He stated there are normally gloves in the room and he should have changed his
gloves after cleaning the feces, but he did not see any, so he did not change them.
In an interview on 07/11/2024 at 12:14 PM, the DON stated the staff are trained monthly on infection
control practices including hand hygiene and she would expect staff to follow the policy when providing
care.
In an interview on 07/11/24 at 01:45 PM, the Administrator stated staff are in-serviced regularly on infection
control practices and she would expect staff to be aware of and follow policy.
Review of the facility's Fundamentals of Infection Control Precautions training and policy, dated March
2024, reflected staff were trained on hand hygiene practices to include cleaning hands when moving from a
contaminated body site to a clean-body site. The policy reflected that consistent use by
