from accident hazards as is possible; and
(2) Each resident receives adequate
supervision and assistance devices to prevent
accidents.

Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to provide an
environment free from accident hazards for one
of five sampled residents (Resident 5) when an
electrical wire below Resident 5's bed sparked
and caused a burn on the floor as a result of
faulty and exposed wiring.
This failure resulted in power outage in three
resident rooms and the potential for fire.

Immediate Jeopardy (IJ), was identified in the
facility related to the potential fire hazard
caused by frayed electrical wires beneath
Resident 5's bed.
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

the source of the spark. 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.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure
titled, "Maintenance Service," dated 12/2009,
indicated, "Maintenance services shall be
provided to all areas of the building, grounds,
and equipment...Maintenance Department is
responsible for maintaining the buildings,

DON stated the immediate plan of correction
was the LE had ensured the electrical system
was safe and Resident 5's air mattress and
power equipment had been replaced.
The DON was notified verbally the IJ was lifted
on 5/18/17 at 3:45 p.m. The Administrator was
not available in the facility for notification.
