the services that were to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical,
mental, and psychosocial well-being for one (Residents #59) of 25 residents reviewed for comprehensive
care plans.
The facility failed to identify and implement person-centered interventions to prevent further decline of
Resident #59's contracture to his left hand.
This failure could place residents at risk for decline in range of motion, decreased mobility, pain, decreased
quality of life and ability to maintain independence.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #59's annual MDS assessment, dated 10/05/23, reflected a [AGE] year-old male

cognitively impaired. The resident had upper and lower extremity impairment on one side and had not
received OT or PT services in the seven days look back period. Resident #59 had not received restorative
care, splints, or braces. Active diagnoses included cerebral vascular accident (stroke), hemiplegia
(paralysis), heart failure and dementia.
Record review of Resident #59's comprehensive care plan initiated on 10/27/22, reflected, .At risk for
contractures related to left sided hemiplegia .Interventions .Monitor for pain with activities of daily living and
movement .Monitor for stiffness of joints .Reposition every two hours and prn . No other interventions were
documented.
An observation and interview with Resident #59 on 12/12/23 at 10:10 a.m. revealed Resident #59 was up in
his wheelchair. The resident's left arm was tucked closely to his body and his left hand was noted with his

An observation made with the DOR on 12/13/23 at 10:05 a.m. of Resident #59 revealed with some
stretching from the DOR Resident #59 was able to uncurl his fingers slightly. Resident #59 informed the
DOR he used to have a hand splint, but he had not seen it for several months and had no idea what had
happened to it. The DOR stated his hand was contracted and he could benefit from a resting hand splint.
She stated they would pick him up on therapy today (12/13/23).
Record Review of Resident #59's Occupational Therapy assessment completed by the DOR on 12/13/23
reflected, .Assessment Summary Functional Limitations as Result of Contractures(s): Functional mobility,
propelling Wheelchair, Skin integrity, Upper body Dressing, Lower body Dressing. Hygiene/grooming.

the ongoing needs were going to be. He stated the care plan should address all the resident's needs. He
stated failing to have interventions in place for residents with limited range of motion could lead to
worsening of a resident's contractures and decline in function.

risk for infections, and a decreased quality of life.
Findings include:
1. Record review of Resident #90's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected a [AGE] year-old
female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses included dementia (a progressive loss of
intellectual functioning, especially with impairment of memory and abstract thinking, and often with
personality change, resulting from organic disease of the brain), and heart failure. Resident #90 had a
