Summary
Staff failed to provide necessary assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) for a resident who required partial to moderate help with personal hygiene. Record review showed the resident was admitted to the facility and required assistance, as documented in the most recent MDS assessment. During an observation, the resident's fingernails were found to be overgrown, jagged, and uneven from breaking off. The resident reported that staff had not offered to cut her fingernails and that she did not have clippers to do it herself. A CNA confirmed that the resident's fingernails were long and had not been cut.
