She was admitted under hospice care. During an interview with Resident 1's family member (FM) on 7/6/18 at 7:06 p.m., she stated she received a call from the facility on 7/3/18 at midnight informing her Resident 1 was agitated (including hitting staff around her) and if she could possibly come in to help her calm down. Resident 1's (FM) stated she came into the facility around 12:30 a.m. and found Resident 1 in a wheelchair, in front of the nursing station and with a bed linen sheet wrapped around Resident 1's wheelchair. The FM stated she untied the bed linen sheet from the wheelchair. During an interview with a certified nursing assistant (CNA) on 7/14/18 at 11:16 a.m., she confirmed Resident 1 was in a wheelchair by the nursing station with a bed linen sheet tied around the wheelchair. She stated Resident 1 kept sliding from the wheelchair so they used the bed linen sheet to prevent Resident 1 from falling.

Review of the facility's policy "Use of Restraints" dated 2001, indicated "restraints will only be used to treat the resident's medical symptom(s) and never for discipline or staff convenience or for prevention of falls".
