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 and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure resident beds were maintained in a safe condition. This affected one resident (#53) of nine reviewed for physical environment concerns. The facility census was 81. Findings include: Review of Resident #53's medical record revealed an admission date of 01/09/23. Diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease, stroke, type II diabetes, psychosis, altered mental status, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and muscle weakness. Review of Resident #53's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was cognitively impaired and rarely or never understood. Resident #53 was dependent on staff for toilet use, bed mobility and transfer. Observation on 03/10/25 at 11:27 A.M. of Resident #53's room found the headboard of the bed leaning to the left when facing the bed. When the headboard was touched it was found to have been broken free from the bed frame on the left side and was attached only by the right side to the frame of the bed. Interview on 03/10/25 at 11:29 A.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #641 verified Resident #53's bed was broken. She was unsure how long it had been that way since she does not regularly work on Resident #53's hallway.
