F 0677 Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable. 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 a resident who was unable to carry out activities of daily living received necessary services to maintain good nutrition, grooming, and personal and oral hygiene for three of five residents (Resident #3, Resident #4, and Resident #5) reviewed for ADLs. Residents Affected - Some The facility failed to provide showers to Residents #3, #4, and #5 in compliance with their shower schedules. This deficient practice could place residents at risk of a decline in hygiene, at risk of skin breakdown, level of satisfaction with life, and feelings of self-worth. Findings included: Review of Resident #3's undated face sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body) and hemiparesis (one-sided muscle weakness) following cerebral infarction (stroke) affecting right dominant side, muscle weakness, and muscle wasting and atrophy (wasting away). Review of Resident #3's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 10/24/24, reflected a BIMS score of 10, indicating she was moderately cognitively impaired. Section G (Functional Status) reflected she required extensive assistance with her ADLs. Review of Resident #3's quarterly care plan, dated 10/29/24, reflected she had a self-care deficit and required assistance (total care) with ADLs with an intervention of providing/assisting with bath or shower as per scheduled and as needed. Review of Resident #3's shower records in her EMR, from 10/22/24 - 11/22/24, reflected she received seven baths/showers - 10/23/24, 10/31/24, 11/06/24, 11/09/24, 11/16/24, 11/21/24, and 11/22/24. During an observation and interview on 11/22/24 at 11:39 AM, revealed Resident #3 in the dining room waiting for lunch. Her hair was messy and greasy, face was oily, and her eyes were crusty. She stated she did not have a shower that day and she would go long periods of time without getting showers. She stated she believed she deserved to get showers and it made her feel sad. Review of Resident #4's undated face sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including major depressive disorder, heart failure, lack of coordination, unsteadiness on feet, and muscle wasting and atrophy.

During an observation and interview on 11/22/24 at 12:32 PM, revealed Resident #5 coming back to her room after lunch. Her hair was greasy and matted. She stated she had recently gone 2-3 weeks without a shower. She stated the staff just never show up to give her a shower or would give her excuses that she was asleep. She stated, Why can they not wake me up? She stated she had resorted to begging for wash cloths so she could give herself a sponge bath because she felt so dirty all the time. During a telephone interview on 11/25/24 at 10:58 AM, the DON stated her expectations were that aides gave the residents a shower at least three times a week or as needed. She stated if a resident refused, that should be documented as well. She stated not receiving showers regularly could lead to infections, UTIs, odors, and bad hygiene. A policy on ADLs was requested but not received prior to exiting.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' choices for one (Resident #1) of four residents reviewed for quality of care. Residents Affected - Some The facility failed to assess and put treatment orders in place when Resident #1 developed a rash under her abdominal fold causing her excruciating pain. These failures placed residents at risk of improper wound management, the development of new skin integrity issues, deterioration in existing skin integrity, infection, and pain. Findings included: Review of Resident #1's undated face sheet reflected an [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dermatitis (skin conditions), type II diabetes, reduced mobility, morbid obesity, and muscle wasting and atrophy (wasting away). Review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 08/26/24, reflected a BIMS score of 10, indicating she was moderately cognitively impaired. Section M (Skin Conditions) reflected she was at risk of developing pressure ulcers/injuries. Review of Resident #1's quarterly care plan, dated 11/01/24, reflected she was at risk for pressure ulcers due to impaired mobility with an intervention of conducting a skin assessment and inspection every shift. Review of Resident #1's skin assessment, dated 11/19/24 and created by LVN A, reflected no new skin issues noted. Review of Resident #1's physician orders, on 11/22/24, reflected no orders for skin treatments. Review of Resident #1's physician orders, on 11/25/24, reflected an order dated 11/22/24 for Nystop (an antifungal powder) - 100,000 unit/gram - apply small amount to resident skin fold three times a day until healed for moisture accumulation. During an observation and interview on 11/22/24 at 2:15 PM, Resident #1 asked to speak with this Surveyor. She stated over a week ago, a CNA at night (did not remember her name) tore off her brief too fast and the Velcro got stuck on her skin and ripped it. She stated it bled for at least four days and a nurse had not assessed her until that day (11/22/24) when they put some kind of powder on it. She opened her brief which revealed an irritated red rash under her abdominal fold. Resident #1 grimaced and winced in pain when she picked up her abdominal fold to show the irritated area. CNA B entered the room and stated the red area to Resident #1 had been there for at least two weeks. She stated she had been telling nurses and no one had assessed her until that day (11/22/24) when she requested LVN C to look at it. She stated at that time, LVN C applied Nystatin powder to the area. She stated she believed Resident #1 needed to be assessed by the WCN. She stated that day (11/22/24) Resident #1 had been in the most pain from the area as she would have tears in her eyes when she rolled her over to provide incontinent care. Resident #1 stated it made her feel like she was not a priority.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Actual harm During an interview on 11/22/24 at 3:18 PM, LVN C stated today (11/22/24) was her first actual day working at the facility. She stated CNA B asked her to look at Resident #1's skin earlier in the day and stated the area should have been assessed long before that day. She stated she left a note for the WCN so it could be further assessed. She stated she applied Nystatin powder because it appeared to be a fungal rash. Residents Affected - Some During a telephone interview on 11/22/24 at 3:47 PM, Resident #1's RP stated he visited her every single day. He stated the redness to her skin happened at least a week ago. He stated an aide snatched the brief off her and the Velcro scraped her skin. He stated they had not been able to get a nurse to look at it and she had been in a lot of pain. He stated the area was getting worse daily. During an interview on 11/22/24 at 4:00 PM, LVN A stated on 11/19/24 she and the ADON did a skin sweep (skin assessments) on all residents in the facility. She stated the ADON did Resident #1's actual skin assessment and she just signed off on it. She stated she did not remember if the ADON told her she had any skin integrity issues. During a telephone interview on 11/23/24 at 9:10 AM, the ADON stated she and LVN A did a lot of skin assessments together on 11/19/24. She stated she could not recall if Resident #1 had any new skin integrity issues. She stated Resident #1 did not have a history of a rash but did remember her having some redness to her abdominal folds at the beginning of October (2024). She stated she was not sure if she had treatment orders in place or if she was being seen by the WCN or WCD. During a telephone interview on 11/23/24 at 9:16 AM, the WCN stated she had not been notified about any skin issues for Resident #1. She stated her expectations were that the nurses notify her of any new skin integrity issues for all residents as that was the procedure. She stated if she had been aware, she would have assessed her and would have absolutely put treatment orders in place. During a telephone interview on 11/23/24 at 9:25 AM, the WCD stated he had not been notified of any skin issues regarding Resident #1. He stated his expectations were that all skin integrity issues were relayed to the WCN. During a telephone interview on 11/25/24 at 10:58 AM, the DON stated she was notified of redness to Resident #1's skin on 11/22/24 and a nurse assessed it. She stated their WCN assessed it over the weekend and their WCD was at the facility that day (11/25/24). She stated if no new skin issues had been marked on the skin assessment on 11/19/24 , it could mean the redness was not a new issue. She stated her expectation was that it should have been relayed to the WCN so she could assess the area and contact the WCD or NP to get orders if they chose to. She stated not providing treatment could cause worsening of skin issues. Review of the facility's Prevention of Pressure Injuries Policy, dated April 2020, reflected the following: The purpose of this procedure is to provide information regarding identification of pressure injury risk factors and interventions for specific risk factors. Preparation Review the resident's care plan and identify the risk factors as well as the interventions designed to reduce or eliminate those considered modifiable.

During an interview on 11/22/2024 at 3:18 pm, LVN C stated she worked with the facility before through agencies and that was her first day as facility staff. She stated she had not yet done training at the facility. LVN C stated enhanced barrier precautions was infection control for residents with wounds, and the gloves and the gowns were to protect herself (LVN C). LVN C stated hand hygiene is done before care for a resident and that she did not perform hand hygiene because there was no sanitizer machine in the room like she was used to. LVN C stated when she started to clean Resident #1's wound she noticed there was no trash bag in the room, that is a huge infection control issue . She also stated she should have had a bag to place soiled dressing in. She said she should have had a clean field for wound care supplies and that was double infection control problems, and a risk for cross contamination. LVN C also stated she did not perform hand hygiene with glove changes because her hands were not visibly soiled. LVN C stated putting the wipes with bowel movement in the unlined trash can, and touching the inside of clean dressing were all infection control issues. LVN C stated there was no sanitizer machine in the room and that is why she did not perform hand hygiene before she left Resident #2's room.

General (A-F). No actual harm found, or harm that is minimal. The facility must still submit a Plan of Correction. Most CMS citations land here.

Each letter combines severity with scope: how many residents the deficiency affected.
