This failure resulted in power outage in three resident rooms and the potential for fire.

Findings: During an interview on 5/18/17 at 10:05 a.m., the DON stated a certified nursing assistant had unplugged a bed which created a spark and caused a power outage. In another interview with the DON on 5/18/17, at 11:10 a.m., the DON stated Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1), had unplugged a resident's bed from an electrical outlet and there was a spark. As a result, Room 19, 20 and 21 had lost electrical power. In a concurrent observation and interview with CNA 1 on 5/18/17, at 11:15 a.m., CNA 1 stated Resident 5 was a total care resident (total care: requires full assistance with bathing, eating, toileting, moving in bed, and getting out of bed). CNA 1 stated Resident 5's bed brakes did not work. When he would turn Resident 5 in bed with the brakes engaged, the bed moved, and the wheels had been rolling side to side over electrical cords on the floor below the bed. CNA 1 stated at approximately 10 a.m., on 5/18/17, as he was repositioning Resident 5 in her bed, he noticed sparks shoot up from under the bed. At the time of the incident, Resident 5 was laying on an inflated air mattress (an airfilled mattress intended to prevent skin breakdown or wounds). The air mattress control device box (electrical device used to inflate the air mattress), was located at the foot of the bed. The electrical cord attached to the control device box was below the bed, on the floor, running from the bottom of the bed to the top and then plugged into an electrical outlet. CNA 1 showed the electrical cord which was FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: M8I311 Facility ID: CA020000110 If continuation sheet 5 of 7 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

The cord was worn through in three spots and bare wire was exposed. There was an approximately 5-6 inch burn mark noted on the floor below the bed. CNA 1 stated he had written the faulty brakes on the maintenance log several times (maintenance log- list of items/equipment which needed to be repaired with a column for check off and date completed by the maintenance director) Review of the document titled, "Maintenance Log," showed an entry dated 2/17/17. The work request showed, the "bed weels [sic] won't lock". Further review of the Maintenance log indicated another work request entry dated 2/21/17 to "Change the bed completely." The Maintenance Log entry dated 2/17/17 and 2/21/17, was dated and signed indicating it was repaired on 3/8/17. During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/18/17 at 12:10 p.m., CNA 1 stated Resident 5's bed continued to roll when locked even after the bed had been changed. CNA 1 demonstrated how Resident 5's bed continued to roll when the bed wheels were locked. During a concurrent observation and interview with a licensed electrician (LE), who had been called by the facility, on 5/18/17 at 2:22 p.m., the LE stated, if the exposed, sparked wiring had been laying next to combustible materials, (for example sheets and blankets), the incident could have started a fire.
