This survey cited 9 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide Resident #38 with an appropriate fitting bed and mattress to prevent his feet from dangling off the end of the bed. This affected one resident (#38) of three residents reviewed for appropriate fitting beds. The facility census was 60. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Record review for Resident #38 revealed an admission date of 01/15/20. Diagnosis included dementia, muscle weakness, and pervasive developmental disorder (delays in development of social and communication skills). Record review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #38 was severely cognitively impaired. Resident #38 required extensive one-person physical assistance for bed mobility and transfers. Observation on 04/03/23 at 12:48 P.M. revealed Resident #38 was lying in bed. There was no footboard at the end of Resident #38's bed. Resident #38's head of his bed was elevated approximately 30 degrees. Both of Resident #38's feet were dangling off the end of the bed from above the ankles down. The mattress was several inches shorter than the bed frame. There was a blue mattress extender at the end of the mattress that was several inches lower than the mattress and Resident #38's feet. Observation on 04/05/23 at 9:00 A.M. revealed Resident #38 was lying in bed. There was no footboard at the end of Resident #38's bed. Resident #38's head of his bed was elevated approximately 30 degrees. Both of Resident #38's feet were dangling off the end of the bed from above the ankles down. Observation on 04/06/23 at 2:50 P.M. with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #338 confirmed Resident #38 was lying in bed, and Resident #38's feet were dangling off the end of the bed. The bed frame was several inches longer than the mattress, and there was no footboard. A bed extender was at the end of the mattress lying flat but with the head of the bed elevated as the resident normally had, the extender was lower than the mattress causing Resident #38's feet and ankles to dangle at the end of the mattress. ADON #338 confirmed the resident's feet should not be dangling off the end of the mattress. Observation on 04/06/23 at 2:57 P.M. with Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) #602 confirmed Resident #38's feet were dangling off the end of the bed above the ankles. COTA #602 confirmed there was a bed extender at the end of the mattress, but it was significantly lower than the mattress and she would want to see an extender at the end of his bed appropriately fitted for positioning to prevent his feet from dangling over the end of the mattress.

Review of the physician orders revealed Resident #5 had orders for zinc oxide to buttocks two times a day written 04/03/23 and an order for barrier cream every shift and as needed to peri area that nursing assistants may apply for each incontinence episode written 02/08/23. Interview on 04/03/23 at 11:54 A.M. with Resident #5 revealed her concern that she was supposed to get zinc oxide to her buttocks twice a day, but the staff had been telling her for the last several days that they were out of the zinc oxide. Observation on 04/04/23 at 9:29 A.M. of medication storage located in the medication storage room with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #338 revealed multiple new tubes of zinc oxide. Interview on 04/04/23 at 4:38 P.M. with Resident #5 revealed staff had still not applied the zinc oxide as ordered.

The TAR was signed each shift revealing the zinc oxide and the barrier cream were both applied per the physician's orders. Interview and observation on 04/05/23 at 5:30 P.M. with ADON #338 revealed the STNAs were to apply the barrier cream, and the nurses were to apply the zinc oxide to Resident #5's buttocks. ADON #338 revealed the barrier cream would be kept in the resident's rooms and the zinc oxide would be kept in the treatment cart with the resident's name on it.

LPN #343 confirmed she signed off the TAR confirming the zinc oxide and barrier cream were applied because she assumed the STNA's did it. LPN #343 revealed she asked STNAs #372 and #373 if they had applied it, and they said they did.

STNAs #372 and #373 confirmed they did not apply either cream to Resident #5's buttocks during the shift. LPN #343 confirmed she did not ask any STNA's if they applied the creams, she just assumed they did and signed the TAR that it was completed. Observation on 04/05/23 at 5:42 P.M. with ADON #338 confirmed Resident #5 had a border foam dressing on her coccyx sacral area. ADON #338 removed the dressing and confirmed there was no open area under the dressing. ADON #338 confirmed she did not know when or who put the dressing on Resident #5.

Interview on 04/06/23 at 10:19 A.M. with ADON #338 revealed she spoke to the previous nurses who documented zinc cream had been applied to Resident #5's buttocks from 04/03/23 through 04/05/23. ADON #338 revealed the nurses confirmed they did not apply the zinc cream, they assumed the STNAs did.
