NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain good grooming, and personal hygiene for one of two sample residents (Residents 28). The resident was observed to have long fingernails with black material underneath. This deficient practice resulted in Resident 28's care needs not being met and had the potential to result in psychological harm and infection. Findings: During a review of Resident 28's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 28 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing), congestive heart failure (CHF-a heart disorder which causes the heart to not pump the blood efficiently, sometimes resulting in leg swelling), and diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing).

It's a simple and quick way to assess nutritional status and body composition) This deficient practice had the potential to delay care and delay identification of potential malnourishment (lack of proper nutrition, caused by not having enough to eat, not eating enough of the right things, or being unable to use the food that one does eat) for Resident 32. Findings: During a review of Resident 32's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 32 was admitted to the facility 8/4/2019 with diagnoses of blindness of bilateral (both) eyes, traumatic brain injury (an injury to the brain caused by an external physical force, such as a bump, blow, jolt, or penetration), and hemiplegia (a medical condition that causes paralysis or weakness on one side of the body) of the left side.

This deficient practice had the potential to cause Resident 32 to develop contractures and have a decline in ROM, physical functioning, and activities of daily living (ADL, basic activities such as eating, dressing, toileting). Findings: During a review of Resident 32's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 32 on 8/4/2019 and re-admitted Resident 32 on 1/30/2023 with diagnoses…

This failure had the potential to increase the risk of Foley catheter induced infections due to unnecessarily prolonged Foley Catheter use. Findings: During a review of Resident 22's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 22 on 12/20/2024 with diagnoses including periprosthetic fracture (a broken bone that happens around or very close to an artificial joint implant) around internal prosthetic (a device that replaces a missing body part or function) left hip joint, multiple fractures of ribs.

This deficient practice had the potential to cause a delay in necessary care and services resulting in injury or death. Findings: During a review of Resident 53's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 53 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia (a condition where the body is unable to effectively exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide over a prolonged period, resulting in persistently low levels of oxygen in the blood (hypoxia) due to impaired lung function), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a chronic lung disease…

This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 17 to experience adverse (unwanted or dangerous medication side effects) effect of temazepam when receiving the medication without knowledge. Findings: During a review of Resident 17's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 17 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs), major depressive disorder (a…
