F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. 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 records review, the facility failed to ensure the assessment accurately reflected the resident's status for 1 of 9 residents (Resident #22) reviewed for MDS accuracy. Residents Affected - Few The annual MDS for Resident #22 failed to accurately document the continuous compression dressings worn by the resident. This failure could lead to residents not receiving the required care and decreased quality of life. Findings included: Record review of Resident #22's face sheet, dated 6/25/2025, reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Relevant diagnoses included venous insufficiency (lack of circulation due to impaired veins) and peripheral vascular disease (impaired veins in the arms and/or legs). Review of annual MDS submitted on 5/26/2025 revealed a BIMS score of 13, indicating moderately impaired cognition. Question M1200 of the MDS (application of non-surgical dressings other than to feet) indicated no. Record review of the skin assessment dated [DATE] revealed a check mark in the box no alterations in the skin integrity noted. No documentation as present regarding the dressings. Resident #22 was observed on 6/24/2025 at 11:02 AM to have dressings on both legs, extending from mid-foot to the knee. The dressings were not dated and were observed to be discolored and dirty, with increased discoloration to the area on the bottom of the foot. The resident was not wearing socks and the dressings were in direct contact with the floor. An additional observation of the resident on 6/25/2025 at 8:54 AM revealed the dressings were in the same condition and appeared to be the same dressings as the observation made on the previous day. In an interview with MDS on 6/26/2025, she confirmed the unna boot compression dressings should have been documented in the MDS. She reported potential harm to residents was that they would not receive necessary care. In an interview with the DON on 6/26/2025 at 10:01 AM, she stated her expectation was for nursing assessments to accurately reflect the status of the resident. Review of the facility policy titled Comprehensive Assessments (dated March 2022, updated February 2025) revealed comprehensive assessments are conducted and coordinated by a registered nurse with appropriate participation of other health professionals on the interdisciplinary team.

The facility failed to develop a baseline care plan within 48 hours of admission for Resident #61. This failure could lead to residents not receiving necessary care and decreased quality of life. Findings included: Record review of Resident #61's face sheet, dated 6/26/2025, revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged to an acute care hospital on 4/14/2025 (10 days total). Relevant diagnoses included traumatic subdural hemorrhage without loss of consciousness (internal head injury with bleeding of the brain) and cognitive communication deficit. Record review of Resident #61's basline care plan report, printed 6/26/2025, revealed a singular focus area indicating full code status. No other areas of care were addressed in the baseline care plan. In an interview with MDS on 6/26/2025 at 10:29 AM, she stated a baseline care plan should include anything a resident needs to receive proper care, including allergies, fall risks, skin conditions, code status, hospice (if applicable), bowel and bladder needs, pain, and nutrition. She also stated Resident #61's baseline care plan had been initiated prior to her employment at the facility, and she felt it was not sufficient to provide care. In an interview with the DON on 6/26/2025 at 10:11 AM, after reviewing Resident #61's baseline care plan together, she stated the document should have contained medications, transfer status, therapy needs, etc. She stated she was aware of the previous MDS nurse's performance issues and had addressed the deficiencies in a performance improvement plan and subsequent termination. She reported the potential harm to residents of having an insufficient care plan was that they may not receive proper care. Upon request of a policy related to care planning, the facility provided a document titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered (revised March 2022). This policy did not address baseline care planning for residents.

Further observation revealed that so long as the call light cables were pulled appropriately, and not impeded by bars, to activate the call system, the call system was in functioning condition. During an interview on 06/26/2025 at 2:35 PM, the DON stated that the call light cables are very long, and they do not want residents to slip on them, so they wrap them around the metal bar. The DON stated that it was possible to shorten the length of the call light cables so they were able to be used as intended. The DON stated that no one had fallen and was not able to use the cable. The DON stated there could be a safety risk to residents for not being able to pull the call light in the restroom.
