Observations:
Based on observations, policy review, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that a comprehensive, person-centered care plan was developed for two of 23 residents reviewed (Residents 18 and 51). Findings include:
Review of facility policy, titled "Care Planning-Interdisciplinary Team", revised September 2013, revealed, "Our facility's care planning/interdisciplinary team is responsible for the development of and individualized comprehensive care plan for each resident". Review of Resident 18's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included muscle weakness (weakness of muscle movements) and fibromyalgia (a disorder that affects muscle and soft tissue characterized by chronic muscle pain, tenderness, fatigue, and sleep disturbances).
Observation of Resident 18 on February 12, 2024, at 12:14 PM, revealed Resident 18 sitting in a recliner in her room wearing custom made orthotic shoes with built in AFO (an ankle foot orthosis controls the range of motion in your foot and ankle and helps to stabilize its position).
Review of Resident 18's care plan on February 12, 2024, failed to reveal any guidance regarding Resident 18's use of orthotic shoes with AFO. Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on February 15, 2024, at 9:45 AM, revealed that Resident 18's care plan should have included the shoes with AFO brace.
Review of Resident 51's clinical record on February 12, 2024, at approximately 12:00 PM, revealed diagnoses that included cerebral infarction (stroke - sudden loss of blood to a part of the brain which results in damage and death of cells) and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
Observation of Resident 51 on February 12, 2024, at approximately 10:10 AM, revealed Resident 51 had a disposable tissue partially placed inside Resident 51's mouth.
During an interview on February 12, 2024, at approximately 10:20 AM, Employee 1 stated that Resident 51 frequently utilized a tissue placed in his mouth to soak up salivary secretion. During the interview, Employee 1 stated that staff do check Resident 51's mouth during the day to ensure pieces of tissue and/or food are not left in Resident 51's mouth.
Review of Resident 51's clinical record revealed Resident 51 was not care planned for placing a tissue in his mouth.
During an interview on February 14, 2024, at approximately 1:30 PM, DON confirmed that Resident 51 was known to place tissues in his mouth. DON stated that the family has provided cloth handkerchiefs, but Resident 51 still utilizes disposable tissues at times.
During an interview on February 15, 2024, at approximately 9:30 AM, DON provided an updated plan of care for Resident 51 which included the intervention of, "I have excessive [secretions]. Staff will encourage me to use handkerchiefs that my family provides but I like to at times use tissues. Staff will monitor my tissue use for concerns." During the staff interview, DON confirmed that the care plan should have reflected Resident 51's use of cloth handkerchief or tissues placed inside the mouth for salivary secretions. 28 Pa.
