that the facility failed to make certain a resident was free from a physical restraint for one of five residents
reviewed (Resident R1). This was identified as past non-compliance.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of the facility policy, Restraint, Physical last reviewd, 2/07/23, defined a restraint as anything that
restricted freedom from movement, and limited one's sense of control and independence.
Review of the clinical record indicated that Resident R1 was admitted to the facility 10/6/23. The Minimum
Data Set (MDS - periodic assessment of care needs) dated 3/7/24, included diagnoses of unspecified
dementia, muscle wasting, diabetes and adult failure to thrive. The Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS a screening too to determine cognition) recorded a score of 5, indicating the resident is cognitively
impaired.
Review of facility provided documents dated 3/13/24, indicated Resident R1 was found by the 7-3 shift with
the sheet tied behind the lower back and corners of the lower gown tied behind the resident's thighs.
Review of facility provided documents dated 3/13/24, revealed that Nurse Aide (NA) Employee E1, was
identied as the individual that tied the sheet behind the resident and the gown behind the thighs.
Review of a written statement from NA Employee E1 dated 3/13/24, indicated, Resident was very active all
night, could not rest, kept tying her gown herself, I changed her and had a gown on her the right way, I
cleaned BM (feces) off her hands and face.
Review of a written state from NA Employee E2 dated 3/13/24 (worked the on-coming 7 a.m. shift)
indicated, When I went in to see Resident R1, I tried to pull down her sheet to pull her up in bed but it
wouldn't come out so I turned her over to see why and found the sheet was tied under her, I reported this,
when we went in to pull up in bed, we seen her gown was was tied around her legs as well.
Review of NA Employee E1's employee file indicated that on 4/4/23 she had a previous verbal warning for
abuse and neglect and was re-educated at that time. Further review indicated that NA Employee E1 was
suspended on 3/13/24 and employment was terminated on 3/20/24.
