residents and plans their care to prevent accidents related to wandering behavior or elopement. The
admitting nurse will perform an initial assessment. A care plan will be developed that reflects the potential
for elopement and preventative measures.
Review of the admission Record indicated Resident R94 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with the
diagnoses of anemia (the blood doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells), renal insufficiency (a
condition in which the kidneys lose the ability to remove waste and balance fluids), and vascular dementia

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, review of facility policy, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the
facility failed to maintain accurate resident care plans and conduct ongoing accurate assessments to
ensure that bedrails were used to meet residents' needs and the risks associated with bedrail usage for
three of three residents (Residents R1, R63, and R92).Findings include: Review of the clinical record
indicated Resident R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident R1's Minimum Data Set
(MDS - a periodic assessment of care needs) dated 11/10/25, indicated diagnoses of high blood pressure,
muscle weakness, and need for assistance with personal care. During an observation on 12/1/25, at 9:58
a.m. bilateral (both sides) side rails were observed on the top of Resident R1's bed. Review of Resident
R1's comprehensive care plan failed to include measurable objectives and timetables with specific
interventions/services for use of bed rails. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R63 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE].Review of Resident R63's MDS dated [DATE], indicated diagnoses of
anemia (too little iron in the blood), Parkinson's Disease (neuromuscular disorder causing tremors and
difficulty walking), and depression. During an observation on 12/1/25, at 10:05 a.m. bilateral side rails were
observed on the top of Resident R63's bed. Review of Resident R63's care plan dated 12/24/22, indicated
the resident uses assist fails for bed mobility: bilateral 1/2 rails for mobility, repositioning and promote
independence. Review of Resident R63's clinical record failed to reveal an ongoing accurate assessment
for the resident's side rail usage. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R92 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident R92's MDS dated [DATE], indicated diagnoses of high blood
pressure, diabetes mellitus (DM, a metabolic disorder in which the body has high sugar levels for prolonged
periods of time), and End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD, an inability of the kidneys to filter the blood).During
an observation on 12/1/25, at 10:06 a.m. bilateral enabler bars were observed on the top of Resident R92's
bed.Review of Resident R92's clinical record failed to reveal an ongoing accurate assessment for the
resident's bilateral enabler bar usage. Review of Resident R92's comprehensive care plan failed to include
measurable objectives and timetables with specific interventions/services for use of enabler bars. During an
interview on 12/3/25, at 1:08 p.m. Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator (RNAC) Employee E1
confirmed that the facility failed to maintain accurate resident care plans and conduct ongoing accurate
assessments to ensure that bedrails were used to meet residents' needs and the risks associated with
bedrail usage for three of three residents (Residents R1, R63, and R92). 28 Pa. Code: 201.14 (a)

forms a protective barrier) to periwound (tissue surrounding a wound) for protection. Change BID (twice a
day) or PRN (as needed) for soilage/displacement. Notify provider or wound nurse with any changes.During
a dressing change observation on 12/4/25, from 10:03 a.m. to 10:25 a.m. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

During an interview on 12/4/25/25, at 10:30 a.m. LPN Employee E3 confirmed the above observations and
that the facility failed to implement infection control practices to prevent cross contamination during a
dressing change.
