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 residents who were unable to carry out activities of daily living received necessary services to maintain grooming, and personal hygiene for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for ADLs. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 received help with toileting, even after MA A was notified that Resident #1 needed help. This failure could put residents at risk of poor personal hygiene, impaired skin integrity, and decreased feelings of self-worth and dignity. Findings Include: Record review of Resident #1's electronic Face Sheet, dated 05/31/23, revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had diagnoses which included the following: epilepsy (a disorder of the brain characterized by repeated seizures), transient cerebral ischemic attack (a stroke that lasts only a few minutes), lack of coordination, systemic lupus erythematosus (autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks its own tissues), muscle weakness, schizophrenia, diabetes mellitus, hemiplegia (a one-sided muscle paralysis or weakness), hypertension, multiple sclerosis (a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord), and difficulty walking. Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 15, which indicated Resident #1's cognition was intact. Further review revealed Resident #1 was occasionally incontinent of urine, and frequently incontinent of bowel and needed partial/moderate assistance for toileting hygiene. Record review of Resident #1's care plan, last revised on 04/03/23, revealed Resident #1 required ADL assistance with toileting and intervention included one person assistance. Further review revealed a problem of bowel/bladder incontinence, and interventions included adult briefs to enhance dignity and skin barrier cream after incontinent episodes. Record review of Resident #2's electronic Face Sheet, dated 05/31/23, revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #2 had diagnoses which included the following: paraplegia (the inability to voluntarily move the lower parts of the body), heart disease, muscle weakness, lack of coordination and muscle wasting atrophy (the decrease in size and wasting of muscle tissue). Record review of Resident #2's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 15, which (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
