F 0604 Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) was free from physical restraints (any manual method or physical or mechanical device, material or equipment attached or adjacent to the resident's body that the individual cannot remove easily, which restricts freedom of movement or restricts normal access to one's body) by failing to: Residents Affected - Few 1.Assess Resident 1 for possible causes of behaviors and implement interventions before the application of physical restraints. 2.Notify the physician of Resident 1 ' s continued agitation and obtain a Physician Order for the use of Physical restraints before applying the restraints. 3.Develop a care plan to address the need for the implementation of physical restraints. 4.Attempt to use less restrictive interventions before application of physical restraints on Resident 1. 5. Ensure Registered Nurses (RN), Certified Nurse Assistants (CNA), and staff were competent in using physical restraints and managing fall risks and challenging behaviors. These deficient practices resulted in violation of Resident 1 ' s right to be free from restraints. On 5/30/2025 approximately 2:30 a.m., RN 1 and CNA 1 restrained Resident 1 (using a bed sheet wrapped and tied around Resident 1 ' s legs to restrict his movements) due to a risk of recurrent falls and combative behavior. This practice placed Resident 1 at risks of skin breakdown, injury from attempts to free himself, feelings of helplessness, fear, and humiliation leading to physical, long term emotional, mental decline, and reduced self-worth. Findings: During a review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 5/18/2025, with diagnoses including, cognitive communication deficit (difficulty carrying a conversation), abnormal posture, bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs), and chronic pain syndrome (persistent pain that lasts weeks to years). During a review of Resident 1 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS), a resident assessment tool, dated 5/24/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 ' s cognition (ability to make decisions of daily living) was severely impaired. Resident 1needed substantial assistance (helper does more than half the effort to complete the task) with dressing, personal hygiene, oral hygiene, and Resident 1 was dependent (helper does all the effort to complete task) on staff with toileting hygiene, and showering. During a review of Resident 1 ' s Order Summary as of 5/30/2025, the Order Summary indicated starting 5/18/2025, Lorazepam Oral Tablet 0.5 MG (medication to treat anxiety), give one tablet by mouth every six hours as needed for anxiety for 14 Days manifested by inability to stay still. During a review of Resident 1 ' s Medication Administration record (MAR), 5/2025, the MAR indicated Lorazepam 0.5 milligrams orally were administered on 5/30/2025 at 2:30 a.m. and it was effective.

During an interview on 6/4/205 at 2:38 p.m., with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated later in the day after morning medication pass, CNA 2 alerted LVN 2 that Resident 1 was restrained. LVN 2 stated sheets were wrapped around Resident ' s legs around the calf area like a roll. The legs were closed together. During an interview and record review with the Administrator (ADMIN) on 6/6/2025 at 2:54 p.m., the ADMIN stated RN 1 stated he (RN 1) made a clinical judgement to secure Resident 1 to the bed to prevent him from harming himself as well as the staff. The ADMIN stated RN1 reported Resident 1 was agitated, kicking staff unable to control and manage his behavior so RN 1 and CNA 1 secured his legs to prevent further harm and for resident safety. During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/6/2025 at 3:10 p.m., with the DON, Resident 1 ' s medical record was reviewed. The DON stated the bedsheet wrapped around Resident ' s legs may be a restraint because it limits the resident ' s movement. The DON stated Resident 1 was not assessed for possible causes of behaviors prior to the application of restraints. The DON stated the physician did not order and was not aware of the restraint. The DON stated there is no care plan for restraint application for this resident.
