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 and record review, the facility failed to ensure three (Resident 79, 48, 42) of 80 sampled residents were provided with a clean and sanitary environment, when thick, dark brown, dried matter was sticking all over the commode and toilet bowl in a shared bathroom between room [ROOM NUMBER] and 22. This failure resulted in Resident 79, 48 and 42 to not receive a clean, sanitary and homelike environment.
Findings: During an observation of shared bathroom between room [ROOM NUMBER] and 22, accompanied by Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 4) on 11/8/19 at 10:08 a.m. thick dark brown matter was sticking inside toilet bowl and all over a light blue colored commode placed over the toilet bowl. CNA 4 was unable to state what was sticking on the toilet bowl and the commode. During another observation of the bathroom with CNA 4 and Housekeeper (HK 1) on 11/8/19 at 10:12 a.m., HK 1 stated its pee (urine) pointing towards the stains on the toilet bowl. HK 1 then stated commode was old and should be changed. HK 1 also stated the thick brown matter sticking on the commode was rust and she sprayed bleach on the commode and toilet bowl. During a concurrent interview and review of maintenance log book with Maintenance Supervisor (MS) on 11/18/19 at 10:55 a.m., MS stated the commode looks ugly, and it was never brought to my attention. MS confirmed maintenance log book for station 2 did not have any entry to replace the commode in shared bathroom between room [ROOM NUMBER] and 22. MS also stated he was planning to replace the commode. During a follow up interview with HK 1 on 11/19/19 at 8:18 a.m., HK 1 stated the commode was dirty for a long time and it would not get cleaned with bleach. HK 1 further stated they put it in garbage now. During an interview with CNA 3 on 11/20/19 at 8:29 a.m., CNA 3 confirmed Resident 79, 48 and 42 used the shared bathroom between room [ROOM NUMBER] and 22 on a daily basis.

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two (Resident 43 and 42) of 80 sampled residents received an accurate assessment when:
Residents Affected - Some 1. Resident 42's Minimal Data Set (MDS- an assessment tool) did not reflect ambulation and range of motion (ROM) services being provided during the Restorative Nurse Aide (RNA) program. 2. Resident 43's MDS was inaccurately coded for using no bed rails when bed rails were being used every day. This failure resulted in Resident 42 and 43's MDS's to reflect inaccurate clinical status.
Findings: 1. Review of Resident 42's MDS dated [DATE] showed Resident 42 walked in corridor only once or twice and did not receive RNA services for ROM exercises and walking in 7-day look back period (reference period for the assessment). During a concurrent interview and review of Resident 42's Restorative Nursing Care Flow Record dated 9/2019 and 10/2019, with RNA 1 on 11/20/19 at 8:13 a.m., RNA 1 confirmed Resident 42 was receiving 15 minutes of ROM and 15 minutes of walking during RNA program. Review of Restorative Nursing Care Flow record for 9/2019 and 10/2019 showed Resident 42 received RNA services for ROM and walking on 9/26/19, 9/28/19 and 10/1/19 during 7- day look back period for MDS assessment dated [DATE]. During an interview with MDS Coordinator (MDSC) on 11/20/19 at 2:09 p.m., MDSC confirmed Resident 42's MDS dated [DATE] was coded incorrectly for ambulation. Review of Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)'s RAI (Resident Assessment Instrument) Version 3.0 Manual dated 10/2019 showed, Coding tips for functional status include: Consider all episodes of the activity that occur over a 24-hour period during each day of the 7-day look-back period. Further review showed, Restorative Nursing Program: Walking- Code activities provided to improve or maintain the resident's self-performance in walking, with or without assistive devices and Restorative Nursing Program: range of motion -Code provision of passive movements in order to maintain flexibility and useful motion in the joints of the body. Code exercises performed by the resident, with cueing, supervision, or physical assist by staff that are individualized to the resident's needs, planned, monitored, evaluated, and documented in the resident's medical record. 2. During three consecutive observations on 11/18/19 at 8:40 a.m., 10:25 a.m., and 12:56 p.m., Resident 43 was lying in bed with bilateral bed rails up. During a concurrent observation at Resident 43's bedside and interview on 11/18/19 at 12:56 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 9) stated bed rails were kept up for safety. Review of Resident 43's Activities of Daily Living (ADL) care plan initiated on 3/13/19 showed Resident 43's half rails were up for mobility for safety.

Residents Affected - Some
Review of Resident 43's MDS assessment dated [DATE] showed Resident 43 was not using bed rails in the 7-day look back period. It also indicated Resident 43 had severe cognition impairment. During an interview on 11/18/19 at 1:45 p.m., MDSC stated when she observed Resident 43, he was in wheelchair. MDSC stated she did not ask the direct care staff if Resident 43 was using the bed rails when she conducted the MDS assessment. MDSC further confirmed review of ADL care plan showed he was using bed rails since 03/2019. During another interview on 11/18/19 at 2:00 p.m., MDSC stated bed rails were kept up so Resident 43 did not roll out of bed. MDSC further stated it was not a restraint and did not need to be coded in MDS assessment. MDSC then stated this information was not from the RAI Manual and she just knew it. During an observation at Resident 43's bedside accompanied by CNA 8 on 11/21/19 at 8:42 a.m., Resident 43's bed rails were up while he was lying in bed. CNA 8 stated staff left the bed rails up because he tries to get up and bed rails help to prevent him from falling. CNA 8 then asked and gave cues to Resident 43 to hold onto the bed rails multiple times, Resident 43 did not follow CNA 8's directions and kept looking at CNA 8. During another observation accompanied by Director of Staff Development (DSD) on 11/22/19 at 9:09 a.m., Resident 43 was lying in bed with bilateral bed rails up. DSD asked Resident 43 to hold onto the rails, but he kept looking at her. DSD then confirmed Resident 43 was not able to follow directions and was not able to remove the bed rails if he wanted to. Review of Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)'s RAI Version 3.0 Manual dated 10/2019 showed, PHYSICAL RESTRAINTS: Any manual method or physician or mechanical device, material or equipment attached or adjacent to resident's body that the individual cannot remove easily, which restricts freedom of movement or normal access to one's body.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide quality of care to two (Resident 184 and 73) of 80 sampled residents, when:
Residents Affected - Few 1. the facility failed to reassess pain for Resident 184 after she was given Tylenol for pain due to a fall. 2. For Resident 73, an initial smoking assessment was not completed. This failure resulted in Resident 184 to stay in pain for four hours until she was transferred to Acute Care Hospital (ACH) 1 where she was diagnosed with bilateral lower extremities fractures.
Findings: 1. Review of Resident 184's Minimal Data Set (MDS- An assessment tool used to guide care) dated 10/19/19 showed Resident 184 is cognitively intact.

LVN 3 stated she gave Tylenol 650 milligrams (mg) at 10:50 a.m. (one hour after the fall) to Resident 184 for pain. LVN3 stated Resident 184 did not confirm if Tylenol was effective for the pain she was having after the fall. LVN3 confirmed she did not give Norco to Resident 184 because I was more concerned about her transfer back to bed (after fall) and getting the people to transfer her to the hospital. When asked if Resident 184 should have received Norco for pain, LVN3 stated, maybe. LVN3 confirmed Resident 184 was sent to ACH 1 at 1:55 p.m. that day for further evaluation, which was four hours after the fall incident. During an interview on 11/20/19 at 10:57 a.m., CNA5 stated Resident 184 was complaining of pain after the fall stating my leg, my leg.

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.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to assess, explain risks and benefits and obtain an informed consent prior to using bed rails for six of (Resident 43, 186, 79, 42, 47, and 36) of 80 sampled residents. This failure had the potential for the above listed 6 residents to suffer from avoidable and hazardous accidents such as entrapment, entanglement, skin injuries, and the feeling of isolation, agitation, due to being restrained.
Findings: During an observation on 11/18/19 at 10:00 a.m., Residents 43, 186, 79, 42, 47, and 36 were noted with bilateral half/quarter bed rails up while they were lying in bed. During a concurrent interview and Resident 43's medical record review on 11/18/19 at 2:07 p.m., Infection Control Nurse (ICN) confirmed Resident 43 was not assessed and/ or had physician's orders, and/ or had informed consent for use of bed rails. During an interview on 11/18/19 at 2:18 p.m., the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 3) stated We do not do bed rail assessment if it's not a full bed rail. During an interview with the Clinical Leader (CL1) on 11/20/19 at 10:01 a.m., CL1 stated facility was sometimes using bed rails for residents to prevent them from falling. CL1 stated, We do not put the side rails down; otherwise residents would fall out of bed. CL1 continued by stating, The social worker was supposed to call the family to explain risks and benefits prior to using the bed rails. CL1 further confirmed that the, facility did not complete an assessment and/or obtained a physician order prior to putting bed rails up for all residents residing at the facility. CL1 then stated the risks of having the bed rails up were residents could get hurt, choked, if a resident get got stuck in it-side (bed) rails could kill them. CL1 further stated, the risks of injuries from a fall was much higher, without the side (bed) rails up than when not in use. During an interview on 11/20/19 at 1:24 p.m., Social Services Director (SSD) 2 stated she was not aware of any risks from bed rail use. During an interview on 11/21/19 at 10:34 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated all beds at the facility had bed rails. It was part of the bed and was not a concern for her. The DON then stated bed rails were not a restraint, so the facility did not need to obtain an informed consent. The DON stated she was not sure if a physician order and an assessment was required to use bed rails. During an interview on 11/21/19 at 12:46 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 2) stated while the residents were in bed, they had to leave the bilateral side (bed) rails up for safety reasons. CNA 2 further confirmed staff was not putting the side (bed) rails down while residents were in bed. CNA 2 also stated the facility's Director of Staff Development (DSD) trained the staff to use side (bed) rails that way. CNA 2 further stated, full side (bed) rails were even better but the facility was using only half side (bed) rails at that time.

During a follow up interview on 11/21/19 at 1:11 p.m., the DSD stated she did not train the facility staff on bed safety at all. During an interview on 11/22/19 at 9:54 a.m., the facility's administrator (ADM) stated bed rails being used at the facility were not a restraint, so the facility was not required to complete an assessment for bed rail use. The ADM also stated the facility did not have a policy and procedure regarding the use of bed rails. Review of Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Service's (CMS) Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) Version 3.0 Manual dated 10/2019 showed, Bed rails include any combination of partial or full rails. Bed rails could create visual barrier and deter physical contact from others. Involuntary movements, resident weight, and gravity's effects may lead to the resident's body shifting toward the edge of bed the resident could be at risk for entrapment .While the bed rails may not constitute a physical restraint, they may affect the resident's quality of life and create an accident hazard.
