F 0561 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete 09/26/25, revealed no documented behaviors to support her refusals to get out of bed. Interview with Resident #37 on 09/26/25 at 11:30 A.M. and 3:55 P.M. confirmed that she is never offered to get out of bed. She stated she will ask at times, but no one will assist her. She confirmed she gets frustrated by having to ask, that there are times she doesn't ask because she is frustrated. Interview with Certified Nursing Aide (CNA) #140 on 09/26/25 at 4:10 P.M. confirmed that Resident #37 does refuse to get out of bed. But, when asked if staff offer to get her out of bed, she stated, we probably don't offer to get her out of bed as often as we should, because of her history of refusing to get out of bed. When asked if the aides capture the refusals in documentation, she confirmed they do not. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Numbers 2590124 and 2564784.
