What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 6 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure the bed remote control and call light were kept within reach for one of 19 final sampled residents (Resident 4). This failure resulted in Resident 4 not being able to use the bed remote control to lower the head of the bed and the call light for assistance when she was in pain, which had the potential to negatively impact the resident's well-being. Residents Affected - Few Findings: On 10/26/21 at 1243 hours, Resident 4 was observed lying in bed with the head of bed elevated. Resident 4 was calling on staff asking to put her bed down, and stating her right shoulder was painful. Resident 4 was observed rubbing her right shoulder. The bed remote control was observed at the foot of the bed and the call light was observed on the floor, out of Resident 4's reach. On 10/26/21 at 1250 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with LVN 3. LVN 3 verified the bed remote control was at the foot of the bed and the call light was on the floor, not within Resident 4's reach. LVN 3 stated the staff usually do not give the residents the bed remote control as long as the call light was within reach. LVN 3 acknowledged Resident 4's call had to be within reach. Medical record review for Resident 4 was initiated on 10/26/21. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE]. Review of the MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 4 was cognitively intact and was able to make herself understood. Resident 4 needed assistance with her ADL care.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide reasonable care for the protection of the resident's personal property from loss or theft for one of 19 sampled residents (Resident 39). Resident 39's cabinet was locked with a chain and a padlock; however, when she was transferred to another room, the facility failed to ensure the chain and padlock were placed in the resident's cabinet in the new room. This resulted in Resident 39 feeling upset and stressed about her personal belongings, which had the potential to negatively impact the resident's well-being. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Personal Property revised 9/12 showed upon request, the facility shall provide or allow the resident to place a lock, chain or other security device on his/ her night stand, bed side table, and/or closet door as appropriate. On 10/26/21 at 1000 hours, during the initial tour of the facility, an interview was conducted with Resident 39. Resident 39 stated when she was admitted to the facility, she placed a chain and lock to her cabinet because she did not want to lose her belongings. Resident 39 stated when she came back to the facility from an out on pass leave(therapeutic leave, a non-medical visit outside the facility), she was told she needed to be transferred to another room. Resident 39 stated the SSD asked for the key to her cabinet lock so they could transfer her belongings to the other room. Resident 39 stated the SSD told her she could not lock her cabinet. Resident 39 stated she felt upset and stressed about not being able to lock her cabinet where she kept her personal belongings. Medical record review for Resident 39 was initiated on 10/26/21. Resident 39 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 39 was cognitively intact. On 10/28/21 at 1613 hours, an interview was conducted with the SSD. The SSD stated she only knew Resident 39 locked her cabinet with a chain and padlock when they were about to transfer her belongings to another room. The SSD stated she asked Resident 39 for the key to her padlock and gave the key to the Maintenance Director. The SSD stated it was the Maintenance Director who opened the cabinet and transferred the resident's belongings to the new room. The SSD stated they did not place Resident 39's chain and padlock in the dresser in the new room because the Maintenance Director stated it was against facility code. The SSD stated she knew Resident 39 was upset when she was not allowed to use her chain and lock on her new cabinet. When asked if she documented this incident, the SSD stated she did not document because she did not want to make a big deal out of it. On 10/28/21 at 1656 hours, an interview was conducted with the Maintenance Director. The Maintenance Director stated when Resident 39 came back from out on pass, he had to transfer the resident's belongings to another room. The Maintenance Director stated he noticed Resident 39 used a medium-sized chain and a heavy pad lock to lock her cabinet. The Maintenance Director stated it was his personal opinion that it was not safe for the resident to use this type of chain and pad lock. The Maintenance Director stated it was a safety issue because the resident might lose the key, and they would have to cut the chain or the padlock. The Maintenance Director stated he told the SSD it was not safe for Resident 39 to use the chain and lock. The Maintenance Director stated he did not offer Resident (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 056151 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 10 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 056151 B.
