that she should not be standing and feeding the resident. On 01/08/24 at 12:23 PM Resident #93's lunch
tray arrived in the room and Staff B set up the food tray and sat in a chair to feed the resident.
On 01/10/24 at 09:37 AM, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated I will be conducting an
in-service for all nursing staff regarding dignity-making sure they sit when they are feeding the residents,
and all other dignity concerns.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to provide reasonable accommodations for
Resident #343 as evidenced by Resident #343 call light was out of reach and had difficulty using other
devices. There were 143 residents residing in the facility at the time of the survey.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
On 01/08/24 at 10:31 AM. In an interview with Resident #343. Resident #343 stated, I'm not able to use the
call light to ask for help. I'm not able to move my fingers to touch the device.
On 01/10/24 at 02:50 PM, during an observation and interview with Resident #343. It was observed that the
thumb call light was tucked underneath Resident #343's pillow to the right side of the resident's head. The
resident was holding the bed control keypad on his chest. The resident was asked: Are you able to use your
call light, if not, how are you able to call staff for assistance? Resident #343 stated, I'm hard of hearing. The
call light is too hard to push. It's very difficult. The bed control is hard to push the buttons. My fingers are
weak. The resident further reported that he cannot raise the television volume nor turn the light on or off.
On 01/10/24 at 2:58 PM, during an interview Staff C a Registered Nurse (RN) was asked, if Resident #343
able to use the call light and how does Resident #343 call for help from staff and where are staff required to
place call lights for residents? Staff C reported that Resident #343 cannot move their hands. The left hand
is more contracted, and the right hand is swollen. I placed the call light on his chest, but the resident was
not able to use the bed control. He uses his voice too. When residents are alert and oriented, the call lights
are to be on the bed and where the resident can reach it.
On 01/10/24 at 03:11 PM; In an interview with Staff D an Occupational Therapist (OT) and Staff E a
Physical Therapist (PT), was asked, how Resident #343 was doing in occupational therapy and based on
the current assessment is Resident #343 able to use a thumb call light. Staff D stated, I performed this
assessment. The last day of physical and occupational therapy was on December 1, 2023. On both arms
there were some limitations and impairment. We did not test his right- and left-hand grip as we do not have
the machine for that. The resident's strength can decrease over time. He won't be able to use a pancake
call light and thumb call light. It would require more effort. One of my goals was to use the pancake call
button but he didn't have the strength and the manual dexterity. Staff further reported that Resident #343
was placed across from the nursing station and is able to communicate his needs.
Review of facility documentation titled Occupational evaluation and plan of treatment revealed. In the
section titled Objective Progress and Short-Long term goals. The short-term goal for Resident #343
documented that the resident will exhibit improved right manual dexterity as evidenced by an increased
ability to press the pancake nurse call button in three out of five trials. Target date 11/2/23. The long-term
goal stated Resident #343 will exhibit improved right manual dexterity as evidenced by an increased ability
to press the call button five out of five times. Target date 12/1/23. In the section titled Musculoskeletal
System Assessment indicated: Out of a scale of five. Resident's right shoulder flexion and extension was a
two plus. The left shoulder flexion and extension was a one. The right elbow and wrist strength were two
plus. The left elbow and wrist strength was one. The left-hand and right-hand grip was not tested.

On 01/11/24 at 9:24 AM. In an observation and interview with Resident #343. It was observed that the call
light device was changed to a pancake call light. Resident # 343 was asked if he was able to press the call
light and Resident #343 pressed the pancake call light, and the call light rang in the room. The resident was
asked if it was better for him to use this type of call light to work better for him. Resident #343 stated This is
much better. My luck because you are here.
Residents Affected - Few
On 01/11/24 at 10:35 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) was asked where staff are to place call lights for a
resident and Resident #343's history with using the thumb call light. The DON was also asked if the facility
has any other types of call lights available for ease of use. The DON stated, Call lights are to be within
reach of the resident. I spoke to [Resident #343] yesterday. With the previous call light, he was able to hold
the call light with one hand and use the other hand to press the button. We wondered if he had the strength
to use the call light. With him, it's difficult to press it. Sometimes, he was able to use the thumb call light. We
tried the pneumatic call light before. We will try the pancake call light and monitor that. We have pneumatic
call lights, but we were concerned that they would create a fire. We placed the resident close to the nursing
station. Staff are aware to check on [Resident #343] frequently. It is not uncommon for residents who are
unable to use the call light. He could press the call light, but it was difficult.
On 1/11/24 at 11:33 AM. In an interview the Director of Maintenance was asked what type of call lights are
available in the facility and if any pancake call lights were available. The Director of Maintenance stated: We
have thumb and pneumatic call lights. We do not have pancake call lights. If I need another type of call light,
I can contact Central Supply.
Review of Resident #343 clinical records revealed a medical diagnosis of muscle weakness and lack of
coordination.
Record review of Resident #343's physician orders dated 12/5/23 at 3:13 PM revealed passive range of
motion exercises to bilateral lower extremities and upper extremities in all available planes with the patient
supine in bed to maintain joint/skin integrity. Three times a week and as tolerated.
Record review of Resident #343's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] revealed in section C: Cognitive
Patterns a brief interview of mental status score was a six suggesting severe cognitive impairment. In
section GG: Functional Abilities and Goals, Resident #343 needed partial assistance from another person
to complete any activities. Upper extremities were impaired on both sides. Eating was dependent with
partial/ moderate assistance. In section O: Special Treatments, Procedures, and Program. Occupation
therapy and physical therapy started on 11/2/23 and had four days in the last seven days.
Review of Resident #343's care plan with next review date of 3/20/2024 revealed: The resident had a
history of arthritis and has a risk for injury or discomfort. The intervention was for the use of supportive
devices such as splints, etc. as recommended by the occupational therapist. The resident is dependent on
staff for emotional, intellectual, physical, and social stimulation related to cognitive deficits, and physical
limitation. Interventions were to assist/ escort to activity functions as needed. Focus stated resident is a risk
for falls related to muscle weakness and other lack of coordination. The intervention was to keep the call
light within reach. Focus stated the resident has impaired functional abilities due to weakness, pressure
ulcers, and impaired mental status. Interventions were to assist with activities of daily living based on the
resident's functionality to keep residents clean and well-groomed.

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 and interview the facility failed to provide housekeeping and maintenance services necessary
to maintain a sanitary, homelike environment and comfortable interior for 1 out of 3 residential floors
(Resident rooms on 300 floor North Unit).
The Findings Included:
During the initial observations on 01/08/2024 beginning at 08:41AM of residents and residents' rooms
revealed:
room [ROOM NUMBER]B was noted with water stains on the wall and roof by the window (B Bed), (Photo
Available).
Rooms 307A, 308, 311B, 314B-Garbage on the floors-Straw wrapping, empty condiment packets, tissues,
alcohol pad packets, and paper of different kinds (photo available).
room [ROOM NUMBER] B-Privacy curtain observed with dark red stains (Photo available)
During an interview on 01/08/24 at 09:22 Resident #92 reported that when it rains, water leaks through the
wall in her room (Photo available). The resident stated she has respiratory issues, every time it rains the
situation gets worse, you can see more water spots on the wall when it rains. The people here know all
about the problem and it has been going on for some time, a long time now.
In an interview on 01/10/24 at 09:02 AM, the Maintenance Director/Housekeeping/Laundry stated: Last
time we had a problem with the air conditioning (AC), the AC had a leak, and it goes through the wall, the
AC was fixed last week, and now we will prepare the wall. We saw the problem with the wall, but we were
working on finding out where the leak was coming from before, we did any repairs to the wall. We finally
figured out that the leak was coming from the AC. We removed the AC and saw there was a hole, and we
fixed the hole. So now we are waiting for the drywall to dry, and then we will plaster and paint the wall in
room [ROOM NUMBER]. The whole process of finding out where the leak was coming from took about 2 to
3 weeks. I personally spoke to the resident in 305B to let her know what was going on with the wall in the
room. I do not have any invoices for the repairs because I fixed the hole myself.
Regarding cleaning the residents' rooms, Housekeeping cannot go into the rooms to clean during
breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Once the resident starts being served their food, we stop cleaning the rooms
and wait until the residents are done eating. We have one porter/housekeeper that works 12:00 PM to 8:30
PM at night for cleaning. The morning shift Porters starts at 6:00 AM and Housekeeping starts at 7:00 AM.
Interview with Resident #92 on 01/11/24 at 08:49 AM revealed the first time she noticed the leak to the wall
was a more than a few months ago, she had her son talk to someone at the facility, they came and looked
at the wall and said they fixed the problem, the problem was never fixed, and no one has given her an
update about what is going on.
