98 ORONO COMMONS 205031 117 BENNOCH RD ORONO ME 4473 2019-08-20 656 D 1 0 RVHI11 > Based on record review, observations, and interview, the facility failed to implement a care plan in the area of skin care for 1 of 4 sampled residents (#1). Findings: 1. Resident #1's care plan initiated on 7/19/19, indicates the he/she is at risk for skin breakdown related to frail fragile skin, incontinence, informed refusal to aspects of care, limited mobility, moisture/excessive perspiration, shear/friction risks with interventions to apply barrier cream with each cleaning and utilize turn sheet to assist resident with turning/positioning to reduce friction/shear. On 8/20/19 at approximately 9:55 a.m., a surveyor observed perineal care for Resident #1. The Certified Nursing Aid (CNA) and Registered Nurse (RN) assisted Resident #1 into bed using a Hoyer lift. Once in bed, Resident #1 was assisted in turning to his/her right side by the CNA pushing his/her left hip over, not utilizing a turn sheet. In addition, surveyor observed the CNA finish perineal care and apply a brief without applying a barrier cream after cleaning. On 8/21/19 at 3:10 p.m., a surveyor confirmed the above findings via telephone interview with the Administrator. 2020-09-01
