He had his right hand picking at the open area on the foot rest. At the time a housekeeper vacuumed the common area as other numerous staff members passed through the common area without redirecting Resident #2 with his picking behavior. At the time 2 other residents sat in the common area. Resident #2's Care Plan lacked documentation about his picking behavior and/or interventions to prevent it. The Care Plan Focuses with a Goal target date of 4/7/25 a. Directed staff to offer snacks during periods of anxiety or behaviors to assisting with calming Resident #2. b.

During an interview on 2/19/25 at 1:05 PM the Director of Nursing (DON) reported the facility didn't do anything to address Resident #2's picking behaviors and making a hole in the footrest while in the recliner. She reported he owned the recliner and he picked at it but the hole has not been as big of a hole as it is at that time. She reported he tried to do it in other recliners as well so the staff brought out his own to the common area. She reported if someone gave him something to hold in his hands he just throws it. She didn't know for sure if Resident #2' s picking is due to not meeting his needs or if it is just a behavior. In an interview on 2/19/25 at 2:29 PM the Administrator reported they didn't have a policy specific to behaviors.

Resident #1 reported some chewing but no swallowing issues. Resident #1 requested a dental appointment. During an interview on 2/17/25 at 3:55 PM Resident #1 reported the staff dropped his bottom denture when cleaning them and it broke. He reported he still didn't have new ones or the current one repaired yet because staff said they can't get him to a dentist. In an interview on 2/19/25 at 2:25 PM Staff D, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), reported Resident #1's bottom dentures are broken but they didn't know for how long. Staff D reported she didn't know if he had an appointment to see a dentist.

She verbalized she called Corporate about his broken dentures to find out if they should pay for them due to the staff dropping them. On 2/20/25 at 9:00 AM the Administrator reported the facility would pay to fit Resident #1's dentures. The facility policy titled Dental Services revised April 2023 instructed if the resident's dentures are damaged, the facility will promptly (within 3 days) refer the resident and if not, they must provide documents showing what the facility did to ensure the resident could still eat and drink while waiting for dental services. In addition, they must indicate the extenuating circumstances that led to the delay. The policy added if the dentures got damaged by staff then the facility is responsible to pay for the dentures.
