32 | Per interviews R10 was moved to another table, and R10 was cleaned up after family informed facility staff. As a result, facility staff failed to recognize R10 had feces on his hands; and did not keep R10 clean and dry; and failed to provide adequate incontinent care and supervision. Additionally, the facility did not ensure R11 was provided a safe, healthful, and comfortable accommodations, furnishings, and equipment.
On June 6, 2021, a medical note, stated, "R11 was unsteady on feet and needs max assist with bathing and dressing and needs extensive assist with ambulation." Per investigation interview, R11 had upper extremity tremors, limited mobility, difficulty walking alone, problems with prolonged standing, and required A forward wheel walker at all times. Other medical notes reported, fall precaution measures were implemented on October 14, 2020. It was also notated instruct patient/caregiver in fall prevention start effective date April,14 2021." R11's medical fall precautions notes included: keep pathways clear; slow position change (One person hands on assist with transfer-effective date 10/14/2020; wheelchair-effective date 10/14/2020 and walker); bed alarms start effective date was 02/06/2020; and overbed table start effective date 02/06/2020."
R11's 2021 Pacifica Senior Living Modesto facility’s needs and service plan had many discrepancies. The 2021 needs and service plan stated, "ambulation... requires 1-person total assist or wheelchair escort to and from activities, meals etc... transfers: requires stand by assist." However, on another section of the same needs and service plan, it states, " Transfers stand by assist, minimal assistance at times...Ambulation resident is becoming unsteady on his feet. He leans forward when he walks." In the safety section, it states, " falls: no." In the falling section; information that was inputted on May,15 2021 states, "Assist resident with appropriate shoes when ambulating...escort resident to meals and activities, encourage resident to be seated in areas where he/she can be easily observed by staff."
Additionally, R11's 2021 needs and service plan is not signed by the responsible party. According to Pacifica Senior Living Modesto GP-06 Service Plans policy the Resident Care Director (RCD) ensures the service plan is signed and dated by the community representative and responsible party. As a result, it is indeterminate if the responsible party was made aware of the fall precaution plan.
On May 8, 2021 R11 was found sitting on closet floor. R11 was assisted up and had a scratch on his back. A May 9, 2021 medical note states, "multiple skin bruising (dark purple) noted on left upper arm just above elbow and dorsal side of bilateral hands and wrist...unwitnessed fall-fall-skin remains intact."
