5/21/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 3 had severe cognitive (ability to learn, reason, remember,
understand, and make decisions) impairment and required setup assistance for eating, and moderate
assistance (helper does less than half the effort) for toileting, bathing, and dressing.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/5/2025 at 10:16 a.m. with licensed vocational nurse
(LVN) 1, Resident 3 ' s medical record was reviewed. LVN 1 stated on 5/22/2025 at 3:40 p.m., Resident 1
called 911 himself due to difficulty breathing and was transported to the GACH by ambulance. LVN 1 stated
the physician was not notified of the change of condition or of Resident 3 ' s transfer to the GACH. LVN 1
stated the physician should have been notified of Resident 3 ' s transfer to the GACH.
During a review of Resident 4's admission Record , the admission Record indicated Resident 4 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including epilepsy (a sudden, uncontrolled electrical
disturbance in the brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness),
schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought), and bipolar disorder
(sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to

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.

indicated CNA 1 stated on 5/30/2025, Resident 1 was very agitated, was kicking during care, and was not
redirectable.
During a phone interview on 5/30/2025 at 4:45 p.m., with the Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1
stated Registered Nurse (RN)1 tied Resident 1 on the calf and leg area to the bed frame to prevent
Resident 1 from falling. CNA 1 stated RN 1 and CNA 1 forgot to remove the restraints.
During a record review of the facility ' s Interview record of RN 1 at 5/30/2025 at 5:10 p.m., the record
indicated 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. RN1 stated Resident 1 was agitated kicking staff unable to control
and manage his behavior so RN 1 and CNA 1 secured his legs wo prevent further harm and for resident
safety.
During a phone interview on 5/30/2025 at 5:30 p.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated he applied
sheets around Resident 1 ' s legs to prevent him from getting out of bed, to prevent him from hitting and

was ineffective. The physician was not notified nor Resident 1 ' s responsible party. RN 1 stated there were
no orders for the restraints and he forgot to remove the restraints. RN 1 stated it was poor judgement on his
part.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Change in Condition Evaluation, 5/30/2025 at 11:05 a.m., the evaluation
indicated at approximately 10 a.m., Resident 1 was noted lying in bed with wrapped bed sheet around
ankles.

and the Certified Occupational therapist assistant (COTA) found sheets wrapped around Resident 1 ' s calf
and leg area, and she immediately called Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2 and removed the sheets
around extremities.
During the continued interview on 5/30/2025 at 4 p.m., CNA 2 stated she reported it because the facility
does not allow restraints, and we do not tie residents to prevent them from falling.
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. The DON stated less restrictive interventions that could have

During a review of facility policies and procedure (P&P), titled, Resident Rights, revised 12/2021, the P&P
indicated federal and state laws guarantee certain basic rights to all residents of the facility including the
right to be free from physical or chemical restraints not required to treat the residents ' symptom.
During a review of the facility ' s P&P titled, Use of Restraints, revised 4/2017, the P&P indicated:
1) Restraints shall only be used for the safety and well-being of the resident(s) and only after other
alternatives have been tried unsuccessfully.
2) Restraints shall only be used to treat the resident's medical symptom(s) and never for staff convenience
or for the prevention of falls.
3) When the use of restraints is indicated, the least restrictive alternative will be used for the least amount
of time necessary, and the ongoing re-evaluation for the need for restraints will be documented.
4) Physical Restraints are defined as 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.
5) The definition of a restraint is based on the functional status of the resident and not the device. lf the
resident cannot remove a device in the same way the staff applied it given that resident's physical
condition, and this restricts his/her typical ability to change position or place, that device is considered a
restraint.
6) Practices that inappropriately utilize equipment to prevent resident mobility are considered restraints and
are not permitted, including Tucking sheets so tightly that a bed-bound resident cannot move;
7) Prior to placing a resident in restraints, there shall be a pre-restraining assessment and review to
detem1ine the need for restraints. The assessment shall be used to determine possible underlying causes
of the problematic medical symptom and to determine if there are less restrictive interventions (programs,
devices, referrals, etc.) that may improve the symptoms
