This has the possibility to affect those residents who share a room with a dialysis patient as well as the 109 residents at the facility at the time of this survey. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: 1. On 06/06/23 at 11:33 AM, observed Resident # 359 in bed, awake, alert, call light within reach and he was able to locate the call light button.

On 06/06/23 at 11:35 AM, observed Resident #55 in bed, alert and oriented x3, watching TV, call light within reach. He stated, they are bringing my roommate's dialysis in the room, and I cannot use the bathroom, this happens three times a week, equipment is all over the place, I have peed on myself at times as I cannot use the bathroom.

During an interview with the Social Services Director on 06/07/23 at 01:28 PM when asked about Resident #55's voiced concerns and Resident #359's room change, she stated, I was the one who initiated the room change due to dialysis machine getting in the way of the roommate and the roommate was not able to use the bathroom. Nursing let me know to do the room change because he was unable to use the bathroom because of the dialysis machine. During an interview with the Clinical Services/Director of Dialysis on 06/08/23 at 03:52 PM, when asked about the storing of dialysis machines in the rooms, she stated, if the patient in that room does not use the bathroom, they usually leave the connection in the bathroom, but if the patient is able to walk, we have to take everything off, if the recommendation is to take off the equipment, then we take it off. If we have a dialysis at bedside patient and if they don't move, the connection (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.
