Summary
The facility failed to provide necessary assistance with activities of daily living for a resident who was unable to perform these tasks independently. The resident, who had diagnoses including muscle weakness and unsteadiness, reported that she had repeatedly asked nurses, doctors, and CNAs to trim her toenails, but no one had assisted her. Observations confirmed that both of her great toenails were long, thick, and yellow, with measurements of a quarter inch in length. Staff interviews corroborated that the toenails were excessively long and should have been trimmed, indicating that the resident's needs for personal care were not met.
