Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, record review, and resident and staff interview, the facility failed to have sufficient staff to provide care for residents at the facility. This has the potential to affect all residents currently residing at the facility. Resident identifier: #64. Facility census: 71.
Findings include:
A) Resident #64
At approximately 9:16 AM on 07/23/24, an interview was conducted with Resident #64. During the interview,
it was noted the resident seemed to have contractures in both knees, with his left knee being worse than the right. During the interview, Resident #64 states, I don't remember much about when I came in, so I don't really remember when my knees got this way, I know they weren't like this when I came in, but I just don't remember when they got this way. Resident #64 stated no staff member helped him work on range of motion
during times when care is being provided.
At approximately 10:30 AM on 07/23/24 during a review of Resident #64's medical record, it was noted that
the Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE REDACTED] indicated Resident #64's range of motion in his lower extremities was within normal limits.
Review of physical therapy evaluation and notes (dates of service 03/21/24-04/05/24) and occupational therapy evaluation and notes (dates of service 03/22/24-04/08/24) indicated Resident #64's range of motion
in lower extremities were within normal limits.
A review of the MDS for Resident #64 dated 06/26/24 indicates the resident has impairment on both lower extremities.
At approximately 12:40 PM on 07/23/24, an interview was conducted with Nurse Aide (NA) #58. During the interview, NA #58 states We don't have time to finish assignments with residents due to not having enough staff. We just don't have enough time with them and aren't able to do the things we should be doing, like working on range of motion with them while we are providing care. NA #58 stated the facility used to have restorative aides that would work with residents on such things, but the restorative aide position was removed from the building due to the facility not having enough staff to provide care.
At approximately 1:00 PM on 07/23/24, an interview was conducted with Registered Nurse (RN) #21, RN #20, and RN #31. During the interview, RN #21 stated staffing had not been an issue for nurses, but it had been a serious problem with the aides, knowing the aides were struggling getting assignments completed due to being short staffed, and not having enough time to spend with the residents.
RN #31 stated the facility used to have a restorative program and has not used it in quite some time because
they don't have enough staff.

NA #58 stated weekends are worse than weekdays, although not every weekend has staffing issues. NA #58 stated they were asked to stay late almost all the time due to staffing issues at the facility. NA #58 states, I feel like I have to rush through providing care because we don't have enough staff, and the residents suffer because of it.

During the interview, all three stated they were aware the staffing situation with the Nurse Aides was not good, as they were asked to pick up shifts as an aide regularly because they don't have enough. RN #21 stated I know they have asked for agency multiple times to get help with the situation, but they won't bring them in here.
At approximately 11:30 PM on 07/23/24, an interview was conducted with NA #39.

When we come in we come bed strips, overflowing trash, trays left in the rooms, trash in the floor. People hanging their feet off the side of the bed because the last shift didn't do their rounds or didn't have time to do their rounds.
NA #39 states, We bring staffing concerns to management all the time, but they turn it around on us and make it out to be our fault, saying we call in too much. We have asked for agency, and we don't get it. People here don't get showers on day shift or evening shift because no one has time to do them.
NA #39 stated, I get three (3) to four (4) days off every week and every single one of those days I get a call from this place asking me to come in and work on my days off because we don't have enough people. When I am scheduled to work, I am constantly asked to come in early and stay late because of the staffing.
At approximately 11:45 AM on 07/25/24 an interview was conducted with the Administrator regarding staffing levels at the facility. The administrator stated the facility needs to have five (5) aides, at least, during day shift, but averages four (4) most days.
