Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of policies and clinical records, as well as observations and resident and staff interviews, it
was determined that the facility failed to ensure that call bells were within reach for two of six residents
reviewed (Residents 3, 5).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility's policy for call lights: accessibility and timely response, dated May 31, 2024, indicated that the
purpose was to ensure the facility is adequately equipped with a call light at each residents' bedside, toilet,
and bathing facility, to allow residents to call for assistance. Staff would ensure the call light was within
reach of residents and secured, as needed.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's care needs and
abilities) for Resident 3, dated March 21, 2025, revealed that the resident could usually make herself
understood and understand others, had moderate cognitive impairment, required assistance from staff for
care needs, was occasionally incontinent of bladder, and had diagnoses that included seizures. A care plan
for Resident 3, dated February 16, 2024, indicated that the resident was at risk for falls and the call bell was
to be in reach.
Observations of Resident 3 in her room on April 1, 2025, at 9:26 a.m. revealed that the resident was lying
on her bed and her call bell was positioned on the wall above her bed and out of reach. When asked where
her call bell was, she indicated that she did not know.
Interview with Nurse Aide 1 on April 1, 2025, at 9:26 a.m. confirmed that Resident 3's call bell was out of
her reach.
A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 5, dated March 24, 2025, revealed that the resident could make
his needs known, had moderate cognitive impairment, required assistance from staff for care needs, was
frequently incontinent of bowel and bladder, and had diagnoses that included kidney disease.
A care plan for Resident 5, dated February 16, 2024, indicated that the resident required the assistance of
one staff member with toileting and staff were to encourage the resident to use the call bell for assistance.
Observations of Resident 5 in his room on April 1, 2025, at 9:50 a.m. revealed that the resident was asleep
in his bed and his call bell was not seen on or near his bed. The call bell was lying on the floor near the bed
closest to the door.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 2 on April 1, 2025, at 9:56 a.m. confirmed Resident 5's

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility failed to provide care for pressure ulcers in accordance with professional standards of practice,
by failing to ensure that recommendations from a wound consultant were reviewed with the attending
physician for one of six residents reviewed (Resident 2) who had pressure ulcers.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding the prevention of pressure ulcers, dated May 31, 2024, indicated that the
facility would review the resident's care plan and identify the risk factors as well as the interventions
designed to reduce or eliminate those considered modifiable. The resident was to be assessed on
admission for existing pressure injury risk factors, repeated weekly, and upon any changes in condition. The
facility was to select appropriate support surfaces and pressure redistribution based on the resident's risk
factors, in accordance with current clinical practice.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 2, dated February 8, 2025, indicated that the resident had moderate cognitive
impairment, was dependent on staff for care, had limited range of motion of the upper and lower
extremities, had pressure ulcers (skin breakdown caused by pressure), and had diagnoses that included a
stroke.
A wound clinic note, dated January 17, 2025, revealed that Resident 2 had a Stage II pressure ulcer (partial
thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red-pink wound bed, without slough or
bruising) to the sacrum (lower part of the spine), a treatment of collagen particles (a type of medical
dressing used to promote wound healing using purified collagen, a protein that is essential for skin and
tissue repair) was being applied twice a day, and the area was improving without complications.
A wound clinic note, dated January 24, 2025, revealed that Resident 2's pressure ulcer on the sacrum was
worsening and was unstageable (not stageable due to coverage of the wound bed), and developed a new
Stage II pressure ulcer on the left heel. It was recommended to change the treatment to the sacrum and
apply medical grade honey (honey-based treatment that prevents infection and assists with healing) and
calcium alginate (absorbent dressing) to the wound bed twice a day, and to consider an APP (alternating
pressure pad using air) for offloading (reducing or redistributing pressure on specific areas of the body).
A wound clinic note, dated January 31, 2025, revealed that Resident 2's pressure ulcer on the sacrum was
stable and surgical debridement (medical procedure that involves removing dead, infected, or damaged
tissue from a wound) of the wound was completed. It was again recommended to consider an APP for
offloading.
There was no documented evidence that the alternating pressure pad was discussed with the physician or
put into place following the recommendations of the wound clinic on January 24 and 31, 2025.
A wound clinic note, dated February 7, 2025, revealed that Resident 2's pressure ulcer on the sacrum was
stable. It was recommended to change the treatment to the sacrum and apply Dakin's Solution (used to
prevent and treat skin and tissue infections) to the wound twice a day, consider an APP for

offloading, and to obtain a sacral x-ray to determine the depth of the evolving sacral ulcer. A nursing note,
dated February 7, 2025, at 1:23 p.m. revealed that an air mattress was being looked into for treatment.
An x-ray result, dated February 8, 2025, revealed that the resident had osteomyelitis (a bone infection that
occurs when bacteria or other microorganisms invade and infect the bone tissue) of the sacrum and was
transferred to the hospital for further treatment.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on April 1, 2025, at 4:16 p.m.
revealed that they thought APP was something staff physically put under the resident to alternate pressure
but were not sure what APP was.
Interview with Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner 3 on April 1, 2025, at 4:37 p.m. confirmed that she
wanted and alternating pressure pad on the bed that had the air pump at the foot of the bed.
