Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, staff and resident interview, and clinical record review, it was determined that the
facility failed to ensure that a bathroom was accessible to one of 15 residents reviewed (Resident 56).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Interview with Resident 56 on April 17, 2024, at 12:15 p.m. revealed the resident complained that she was
unable to access the bathroom due to the location of the bathroom and size of her wheelchair.
Observation conducted at this time revealed the resident was in a bed by the door, and the bathroom was
located across from the resident's roommate's bed by the window. The resident's wheelchair would have to
fit through the space between the resident's roommate's bed and dresser to get to the bathroom. The
resident stated that because of this issue, she is forced to use a bed pan.
Interview with Resident 56's nurse aide, Employee E7, at the same time confirmed the resident would be
able to be toileted if the resident could be wheeled into the bathroom, and staff were using a bed pan on
the resident for this reason.
Review of Resident 56's care plan revealed a plan of care in place for incontinence with an intervention
added on July 10, 2023, to ensure the resident has an unobstructed path to the bathroom.
Further review of Resident 56's care plan revealed a plan of care in place for activities of daily living, with
an intervention added on September 27, 2023, to use wheelchair to transfer to the bathroom related to
weakness.
Observation with the Maintenance Director, Employee E6, on April 18, 2024, at 11:15 a.m. revealed the
length of the Resident 56's wheelchair was measured at 24 inches wide. The length between the resident's
roommate's bed and dresser was also measured at 24 inches wide.
The above findings were presented to and confirmed with the Nursing Home Administrator on April 18,
2024, at 11:25 a.m.
