What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 4 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 18 residents reviewed with limited range of motion (Resident #11), received appropriate treatment and services to prevent a decline in range of motion. The facility failed to ensure Resident #11 had interventions in place for his bilateral hand contractures (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 his hands. This failure could place residents with contractures at risk for decrease in mobility, range of motion, and contribute to worsening of contractures. Findings Include: Review of Resident #11's Face Sheet dated 03/15/2023 reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the following diagnosis Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side (Hemiplegia and hemiparesis are related conditions that cause weakness or paralysis on one side of the body), Alzheimer's Disease (A type of brain disorder that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. This is a gradually progressive condition.) and Parkinson's Disease (A progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves.) Review of Resident #11's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected Resident #11 was assessed to have a BIMS score of 0 indicating severe cognitive impairment. Resident #11 was further assessed to have range of motion impairments of the upper and lower extremity on one side. Review of Resident #11's Comprehensive Care Plan reflected a focus area dated 06/14/2023 Resident #11 has functional limitations due to contracture to bilateral hands. Interventions included For hand/finger contractures, keep fingernails cut short to prevent skin breakdown to palm, place handroll in contracted hand/fingers daily. Remove during bath and as needed and wash hand. Dry hand thoroughly before placing handroll back in hand . Review of Resident #11's Consolidated Physician orders reflected an order dated 11/14/2023 Check that hand rolls are in both hands. Reapply if they are out . Further review reflected another order dated 11/16/2023 which reflected Cleanse hands and apply hand rolls in both hands every day and evening shift.

F 0914 Provide bedrooms that don't allow residents to see each other when privacy is needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure each room was designed or equipped to assure full visual privacy for 11 (Rooms 13, 17, 35, 39, 40, 41, 55, 56, 63, 72, and 79) of 11 dual occupancy rooms reviewed for privacy in the facility. Residents Affected - Some The facility failed to ensure that dual occupancy rooms were provided with ceiling suspended curtains, which extended around the bed, to provide total visual privacy. This failure could lead to a lack of privacy for residents, allow residents' private medical treatment to be observed by roommates or others, and lead to a decline in psychosocial well-being. Findings included: Observation on 11/28/2023 at 2:28 PM of rooms [ROOM NUMBERS] revealed that each room had dual occupancy with an A and B bed in each. The rooms had a single ceiling to floor curtain that divided the center of the room but stopped approximately four feet from the opposite wall. The rooms did not have a second connecting curtain or partition that would allow for bed A or B to have total visual privacy. Observation on 11/28/2023 at 2:32 PM of rooms [ROOM NUMBERS] revealed that each room had dual occupancy with an A and B bed in each. The rooms had a single ceiling to floor curtain that divided the center of the room but stopped approximately four feet from the opposite wall. The rooms did not have a second connecting curtain or partition that would allow for bed A or B to have total visual privacy. In an interview on 11/29/2023 at 10:40 AM, RN A was asked about the partial center divide curtain in the dual occupancy rooms. RN A stated that they were to knock before entering the room but stated that not having a curtain at the bottom of either resident bed could pose a privacy issue for the resident. RN A stated that there was no way to ensure full privacy for residents in a dual occupancy room with the single curtain. In an interview on 11/29/2023 at 3:25 PM the DON was asked about the lack of full privacy in the rooms. The DON stated that the dual occupancy rooms only have a partial divider. The DON stated that staff had been instructed to ensure doors were closed and that they knock before entering. The DON stated that there was not full privacy available in the dual occupancy rooms and that it could pose a privacy issue for residents. Observations on 11/30/2023 at 7:45 - 7:50 AM revealed that Rooms 35, 40, 55, 56, 63, 72, and 79 were also dual occupancy rooms and only had one partial center room divide curtain present, which did not allow for full privacy. In an interview on 11/30/2023 at 8:05 AM, the Administrator stated that all dual occupancy rooms in the facility do only have one partial center divide curtain. The Administrator stated that staff were instructed to always knock before entering a residents' room but stated that the partial curtain did not allow for full privacy for either resident in the dually occupied room. The Administrator stated that the building was forty years old and that the partial curtain has never been an issue. The Administrator stated that they do not have a policy that directly relates to privacy curtains.
