**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a bariatric bed (a heavy-duty, typically
wider bed designed to accommodate individuals who are significantly overweight) did not impede the free
movement of staff and one of three resident (Resident 148).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice resulted in impeding the free movement of Resident 148 and had the potential to
impede the free movement of staff and guests.

Findings:
During a record review Resident 148's admission indicated, Resident 148 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses that included fibromyalgia (a chronic (long-lasting) disorder that causes pain and
tenderness throughout the body, as well as fatigue and trouble sleeping), muscle weakness, rheumatoid
arthritis (a chronic, autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness,
and swelling), hypertension (high blood pressure) and spondylosis (the degeneration of the spine,
particularly the intervertebral discs and facet joints, often associated with aging).
During a review of Resident 148's history and physical (H&P) dated 5/22/2025 indicated Resident 148 had
the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 148's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 5/22/2025,
indicated Resident 148's cognition (The mental ability to make decisions of daily living) was intact. The
MDS indiated Resident 148 required supervision or touching assistance for walking 10 feet, used
cane/crutch and a walker, required partial moderate assistance for toileting, personal hygiene and upper
body dressing, Resident 148 required substantial assistance with lower body dressing and putting on
footwear.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 5/23/25 at 7:32 p.m., Resident 148's room appeared
crowded with limited space for the resident to move around. Resident148's roommate was noted with a
bariatric bed and a bedside table next to the bariatric bed. Resident 148 stated she feels closed in the room
due to the size of her roommate's bariatric bed and bedside table. Resident 148 stated that, it (bariatric
bed) takes up too much space in the room. I can barely get into the bathroom because if I open the
bathroom door wide it bumps into my roommate's foot of her bed. Resident 148 stated I can only get out of
my bed safely on the right side. Resident 148 stated she does not have enough room to move around freely
in her room. Resident 148 stated that it makes her angry that she cannot freely move around.
During a review of the Federal Guidance indicated that the measurement of the square footage should be
based upon the useable living space of the room. The swing or arc of any door which opens directly into the
resident's room should not be excluded from the calculations of useable square footage in a room.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure resident receive appropriate treatment and services
to increase, prevent, or maintain the range of motion (ROM- the extent of movement of a joint) and mobility
for three of four sampled resident (Resident 11, Resident 43, Resident 37) according to the facility policy
and procedures (P&P) titled, Resident Mobility and Range of Motion.
This deficient practice had the potential to place residents at risk for further ROM decline and contracture (a
condition of shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often leading to deformity and
rigidity of joints).
Findings:
A. During a review of Resident 11's admission Record indicated Resident 11 was originally admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis (loss of
the ability to move in one side of the body) following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in
the space below one of the thin layers that cover and protect the brain) affecting left non-dominant side,
contracture, (is when a muscle, tendon, or other tissue tightens and shortens, making it hard to move a joint
or body part normally) right elbow, contracture, left elbow, and contracture, left hand.
During a review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 4/9/2025, indicated
Resident 11's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily
decisions were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 11 was totally dependent from staff for
activities of daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person
performs daily to care for themselves).
During a review of Resident 11's Order Summary Report (OSR), the OSR indicated the following physician
orders:
i. Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA) order to do gentle passive ranger of motion (PROM - refers to the
movement of a joint by an external force, without any voluntary muscle contraction by the person) on
bilateral lower extremities (BLE - both legs) - every day (QD) for 5 times/week (x/week) as tolerated.
ii. RNA to apply right knee extension splint (a brace or support to wear on the leg to keep the knee straight)
for up to two hours or as tolerated - QD x 5x/week
iii. RNA to apply a carrot handroll (devices are designed to gently position contracted fingers away from the
palm) on left hand daily 5 times per week for up to 2-3 hours or as tolerated.
iv. RNA to apply elbow extension splint to right elbow daily five times per week for up to two hours or as
tolerated.
v. RNA to do gentle PROM (Partial Range of Motion - a condition where a joint's movement is limited to less
than its full potential) exercises to bilateral upper extremities (BUE - both arms) - QD for 5x/week.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Maintain a safe and functional environment for one of six sampled residents (Resident 38) by ensuring
that there are no items that may cause him an injury according to Resident 38's behavior of putting objects
on his mouth.
2. Properly evaluate one of six sampled residents (Resident 36)'s elopement (the act of leaving a facility
unsupervised and without prior authorization) risk assessment (a numerical score used to determine the
likelihood of a person, often a patient in a care setting, leaving a facility without authorization or staff
knowledge)
These deficient findings had the potential to place the residents at increased risk for injuries and accidents.
Cross Reference F656
Findings:
A. During a review of the admission Record indicated Resident 38 was originally admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy (a disease in which
the functioning of the brain is affected by some agent or condition-such as viral infection or toxins in the
blood), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities) and anxiety disorder (a mental health
disorder characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's
daily activities).
During a record review, Resident 38's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated
4/29/2025, indicated Resident 38's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding) skills for daily decisions were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 38 was
dependent from staff for activities of daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing
and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves).
During a review of Resident 38's Order Summary Report, dated 9/2/2024, the physician ordered, Resident
(38) is at risk for silent aspiration (inhaling food, liquid, or other material into the lungs without coughing or
feeling any discomfort). Monitor resident with regular texture diets every shift.
During a review of Resident 38's Care Plan (CP), revised on 6/11/2024, for impaired cognitive
function/dementia or impaired thought processed related to dementia, the CP indicated an intervention to,
Cue, reorient and supervise as needed.
During an observation of Resident 38 on 5/23/2025 at 6:13 p.m., observed Resident 38 sitting on the bed,
the bedside table drawer was open, and Resident 38 was holding a perineal cleanser (a special soap
designed to gently clean the area between the legs, specifically around the genitals and anus) bottle with a
liquid inside the bottle. Resident 38 was observed putting the bottle in his mouth and stated, he is looking

rooms hold no more than 2 residents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Resident rooms did not
accommodate no more than four residents per room for two of eight Resident rooms (rooms [ROOM
NUMBERS]).
This deficient practice had the potential to result in inadequate useable living space for the residents and
working space for the health caregivers.
Findings:
During a review of the facility Request for Room Size Waiver letter, dated 5/23/2025, submitted by the
Director of Nursing (DON), indicated there are rooms [ROOM NUMBERS] had six beds per room. The letter
indicated that the room sizes would not interfere with the daily nursing care or safety of the residents. The
letter also indicated there would be enough space to provide for each resident's care, dignity and privacy in
those rooms which are in accordance with the special needs of the residents. The letter indicated the
spaces would not have an adverse effect on the residents' health and safety or impede the ability of any
resident in the rooms to attain his or her highest practicable well-being.
During a review of the facility Client Accommodations Analysis submitted by the facility dated 6/7/2024,
indicated the following rooms with their corresponding measurements:
room [ROOM NUMBER] is 466 square feet with 6 beds (77.6 square feet per resident).
room [ROOM NUMBER] is 475 square feet with 6 beds (77.6 square feet per resident).
During the general observations of the residents' rooms on 5/23/2025 to 5/25/2025, the residents in rooms

Residents Affected - Some
b. During a record review Resident 148's admission indicated, Resident 148 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses that included fibromyalgia (a chronic (long-lasting) disorder that causes pain and
tenderness throughout the body, as well as fatigue and trouble sleeping), muscle weakness, rheumatoid
arthritis (a chronic, autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness,
and swelling), hypertension (high blood pressure) and spondylosis (the degeneration of the spine,
particularly the intervertebral discs and facet joints, often associated with aging).
During a review of Resident 148's history and physical (H&P) dated 5/22/2025 indicated Resident 148 had
the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 148's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 5/22/2025,
indicated Resident 148's cognition (The mental ability to make decisions of daily living) was intact. The
MDS indiated Resident 148 required supervision or touching assistance for walking 10 feet, used
cane/crutch and a walker, required partial moderate assistance for toileting, personal hygiene and upper
body dressing, Resident 148 required substantial assistance with lower body dressing and putting on
footwear.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 5/23/25 at 7:32 p.m., Resident 148's room appeared
crowded with limited space for the resident to move around. Resident148's roommate was noted with a
bariatric bed and a bedside table next to the bariatric bed. Resident 148 stated she feels closed in the room
due to the size of her roommate's bariatric bed and bedside table. Resident 148 stated that, it (bariatric
bed) takes up too much space in the room. I can barely get into the bathroom because if I open the
bathroom door wide it bumps into my roommate's foot of her bed. Resident 148 stated I can only get out of
my bed safely on the right side. Resident 148 stated she does not have enough room to move around freely
in her room. Resident 148 stated that it makes her angry that she cannot freely move around.
During a review of the Federal Guidance indicated that the measurement of the square footage should be
based upon the useable living space of the room. The swing or arc of any door which opens directly into the
resident's room should not be excluded from the calculations of useable square footage in a room.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to:
1. Ensure nine of nine Resident rooms (Rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, and 12) met the 80 square feet (sq. ft.
-unit of measure) requirement per resident according to federal regulation by
2. Ensure a bariatric bed (a heavy-duty, typically wider bed designed to accommodate individuals who are
significantly overweight) did not impede the free movement of staff and one of three resident (Resident
148).
This deficient practice resulted in impeding the free movement of Resident 148 and had the potential to
impede the free movement of staff and guests.
