Findings include: 1. Resident #46 had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. There was a care plan since 10/22/10 to address his/her risk for alteration in skin integrity due to incontinence and a history of frequent skin tears and bruising due to involuntary movements. There were interventions to keep the resident's bed side rails padded and to encourage him/her to reposition frequently. However, staff failed to pad the resident's side rails as planned. See F323 for additional information regarding resident #46. 2. Resident C had a care plan which had been reviewed on 12/12/12 to address his/her need for assistance with all activities-of-daily living (ADLs). There were interventions for staff to provide dental care after each meal and at bedtime, to report loose or ill-fitting dentures, and to offer dental services as needed. During an interview on 2/13/13 at 8:30 a.m., resident C stated that his/her gums and mouth were sore along the bottom on the right side. Although the resident stated that she had not reported the problem to nursing staff, documentation in the 1/05/13 Resident Council meeting minutes revealed that resident C had complained about his/her gums hurting. There was a note that Social Service staff would follow up, however, there was no evidence of any follow up having been done. Staff failed to implement their planned intervention. See F411 for additional information regarding resident C. 2017-09-01
