F 0552 Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to obtain a complete a written informed consent (voluntary agreements to accept treatment and/or procedures after receiving education regarding the risks, benefits, and alternatives offered) for the use of physical restraints (devices that limit a resident's movement) prior to the use of padded bilateral upper side rails for one of one sampled resident (Resident 196).This failure resulted in a violation of Resident 196's right to be informed and participate in treatment decisions. Findings:During a review of Resident 196's admission Record, the record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 1/22/2026, with diagnoses including but not limited to tracheostomy (a surgical procedure to create an opening through the neck into the windpipe to provide an alternative airway), gastrostomy (a surgical opening fitted with a device to allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with swallowing problems), and diabetes (a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing).During a review of Resident 196's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized care screening and assessment tool), dated 1/29/2026, the MDS indicated the resident is severely cognitively impaired (inability to carry out regular tasks and apply judgement).During a review of Resident 196's physician order, dated 1/31/2026, the order indicated, obtain informed consent from the resident representative (a designated individual authorized to act on behalf of another person) after explanation of risks and benefits for the use of padded bilateral upper side rails when the resident is in bed.During a review of Resident 196's care plan, dated 1/31/2026, the care plan indicated, Low bed with padded bilateral upper half side rails up and locked when in bed for safety and positioning.During a review of Resident 196's informed consent for low bed with bilateral upper half side rails, undated, the consent indicated documentation is to be completed before treatment is initiated for use of a restraint.During an observation on 2/9/2026 at 9:46 a.m. in Resident 196's room, Resident 196's bilateral upper side rails were padded and locked in position.During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026 at 1:18 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3, Resident 196's informed consent for low bed with bilateral upper half side rails was reviewed. The consent did not indicate a signature from the prescribing physician, resident representative, or nurse verifying the consent. LVN 3 stated she inputted the physician order into the system and forgot to ensure the informed consent form was completed.During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/16/2026 at 1:53 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Bed Safety and Bed Rails, dated August 2022 was reviewed. The P&P indicated, the use of bed rails or side rails is prohibited unless the criteria for the use of bed rails have been met, including attempts to use alternatives, interdisciplinary evaluation, resident assessment, and informed consent. The DON stated padded side rails are a safety device and require informed consent prior to use. The DON stated staff did not follow the facility's P&P.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Informed Consent, dated December 2024, the P&P indicated, the prescribing physician, resident or resident Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0700 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of five sample residents (Resident 73 and Resident 99): Obtained consent (voluntary agreement to accept treatment and/or procedures after receiving education regarding the risks, benefits, and alternatives offered) that explains the risk and benefits of bed rails (are adjustable metal or rigid plastic bars that attach to the bed) with the resident representative prior to installation. was offered other alternative attempts prior to installing side rails. These failures had the potential to result in compromised resident safety associated with unassessed bed rail use. Findings: A.)During a record review of Resident 73's admission record indicated Resident 73 was admitted on [DATE] with a diagnoses of bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs), Alzheimer's disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities) and Parkinson's disease (a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements). During a record review of Resident73's Minimum Data set (MDS- resident assessment tool), dated 1/26/2026 indicated that Residents cognitive was impaired. The MDS indicated that Resident 73's needs maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort)with showers, resident needs moderate assistance with toileting, upper body dressing, lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and with personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 73's admission orders dated 11/18/2025 indicated Support & Safety Device Low bed with bilateral quarter rails in bed as an enabler for bed mobility, repositioning and other Activities of daily living (ADL's) (not considered a restraint- any manual method, physical or mechanical device, equipment, or material that cannot be removed easily by the resident). Padded siderails to decrease potential injury. During an observation on 2/10/2026 at 8:50 a.m. in Resident 73's room, Resident 73 was lying in bed on her back with bilateral side rails up. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/9/2026 at 11:56 a.m. in Residents 73's room with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 3), LVN 3 stated that Resident 73 should not have bilateral padded side rails because Resident 73 does not have a diagnosis of seizures. LVN 3 stated that usually bilateral side rails are implemented for residents with seizures for safety reasons. LVN 3 stated that the bilateral padded siderails should be removed for Resident 73. During a review of Interdisciplinary team (IDT- a group of health care professionals with various areas of expertise who work together toward the goals of their resident) - Madwords assessment dated [DATE] indicated that no physical restraints used and recommended at this time. The assessment did not indicate that bilateral rails were in use for support and safety. The IDT note did not indicate that alternative attempts were used prior to installing bilateral rails. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/10/2026 at 1:09 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN 1), RN 1 stated that Resident 73 informed consent is incomplete because it is missing padded bilateral quarter rails and the consent was not verified by a second licensed nurse since it was obtained via telephone. RN 1 stated that it is important to include the complete physician order on the consent and for a second nurse to verify the consent for it to be accurate and valid before initiating the side rails. During an interview and record review on 2/12/2026 at 10:45 a.m. with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), ADON stated that alternative attempts were not implemented to Resident 73 prior to installing the bilateral rails because it was not documented in the side rail assessment dated [DATE] or on IDT note dated 11/24/2025.

During an interview and record review on 2/11/2026 at 12:45 p.m. with LVN 4, LVN 4 stated that Resident 99 has a low bed with bilateral quarter rails for mobility. LVN 4 mentioned that staff must obtain consent, implement alternative interventions, and complete an assessment before installing side rails LVN 4 stated that Resident 99's consent form was incomplete because it lacked the date and nurse's signature. LVN 4 emphasized the importance of obtaining a second nurse's signature to verify accuracy. The side rail assessment dated [DATE] indicated that staff implemented visual monitoring before installing the side rails. During an interview, Maintenance Staff 1 (MS 1) said he was responsible for measuring bed rails for Resident 99. The side rail/entrapment assessment(a safety check to make sure a person (usually a patient or resident) cannot get stuck or caught in dangerous gaps between their bed, mattress, and side rails from 11/24/2025 showed all zones were within guidelines (less than 4 3/4 inches). However, MS 1 admitted he did not measure all zones because he was unsure of their locations. MS 1 mentioned the measurements focus on gaps between the rail and mattress to prevent resident's hands from getting stuck. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Bed Safety and Bed Rails dated 8/2022 indicated the use of bed rails or side rails is prohibited unless the criteria for bed rails have been met, including attempts to use alternatives, interdisciplinary evaluation, resident assessment and informed consent.
