Based on review of clinical records, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that physician-ordered contracture management services were provided as care planned for one of 68 residents reviewed (Resident 118).
Findings include: A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 118, dated August 8, 2025, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired and was dependent on staff for daily care needs.
Physician's orders for Resident 118, dated May 20, 2021, included an order for staff to wash left hand with soap and water and dry, apply splint to prevent contractures with morning care and remove at bedtime. Resident 118's care plan for activities of daily living (ADL- essential and routine tasks that most young, healthy individuals can perform without assistance), dated December 17, 2017, indicated that staff was to wash and dry the left hand and apply the splint with morning care and be removed on the second shift.
Observations of Resident 118 on September 17, at 2:15 p.m. revealed the resident was sitting up in his bed and the splint that was to be applied to his left hand was not in place.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 3 on September 17, 2025, at 2:29 p.m. confirmed Resident 118 did not have the splint in place to his left hand, and she was unable to locate it.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on September 17, 2025, at 3:55 p.m. confirmed that Resident 118's left hand splint should have been applied with morning care. 28 Pa.
