Based on record review and staff interviews, the facility failed to get a resident out of bed when requested
for one of four residents reviewed (Resident 2).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
A review of the clinical record for Resident 2 revealed diagnoses that included diabetes mellitus (a form of
diabetes that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin) and
congestive obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - disease process that causes decreased ability of the
lungs to perform).
A review of the care plan for Resident 2 dated July 2024, revealed that Resident 2 requires 2-person assist
and his walker for transfers. Resident 2's care plan also had an intervention to keep Resident 2's routine
consistent to decrease confusion due to Resident's fluctuating BIMs score (brief interview of mental status).
A review of the nursing note for Resident 2 dated July 13, 2024, at 1:37 PM, stated, resident was unable to
get out of bed before breakfast and was offered breakfast in bed but refused. Resident 2's wife (also his
roommate) called a family member to complain, family member came in to complete care, and get resident
up. Supervisor made aware of the situation.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on July 30, 2024, the DON informed the surveyor
that she was covering as the dayshift supervisor on July 13, 2024, and revealed that she was informed that
Resident 2 rang his call bell that morning so that he would be out of bed as usual for his breakfast. The
DON confirmed that there was only one Nurse Aide (NA) working the unit on dayshift July 13, 2024.
During an interview with the DON on July 30, 2024, the DON confirmed the NA staffing ratios did not meet
regulation on July 13, 2024, and is aware of the staffing requirements.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
Based on review of staffing schedules, facility documentation, and staff interview, it was determined that the
facility failed to ensure sufficient nursing staff to assure residents attain or maintain the highest practicable
physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for one of four residents reviewed (Residents 2).
Findings include:
A review of the clinical record for Resident 2 on July 30, 2024, revealed a nursing note that there was only
one Nurse Aide (NA) working on Resident 2's unit, and when Resident 2 rang the call bell to get out of bed
for breakfast, the Resident was offered to eat breakfast in bed because there was not a second NA working
to assist in getting the Resident out of bed. Resident 2 requires 2-person assist with his walker for transfers.
The spouse of Resident 2 had to call a family member in to the facility to dress and assist the Resident out
of bed for the lunch meal.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on August 1, 2024, at 9:00 AM, the NHA
confirmed the accuracy of the low staffing levels.
