F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident had the right to a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment, which included but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely for one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for residents rights. 1.The facility failed to maintain a resident's wheelchair in a sanitary and safe operating condition for Resident #1 who had dried vomit on her wheelchair. 2. The facility failed to maintain a homelike environment for Resident #1 who had a large portion of wood missing from her headboard. These failures could place residents at risk for a diminished quality of life due to the lack of a well-kept, home-like environment. Findings included: Review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 12/19/23, reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female who originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included unspecified intellectual disabilities (learning disabilities characterized by below average intelligence) and major depressive disorder (mental health disorder having episodes of psychological depression). Review of Resident #1's annual MDS assessment, dated 10/29/23, reflected she had a BIMS score of 08 indicating moderate cognitive impairment. Further review revealed Resident #1 utilized a wheelchair. Observation and interview on 12/19/23 at 9:30 AM with Resident #1 revealed she was sitting in her wheelchair in her room. Resident #1 had a dried brown substance on the right side of her wheelchair that was clumped up. Resident #1 said she threw up the other day but could not remember when it happened. Resident #1 said she knew the throw up was still on her wheelchair and did not like it being on there and wanted to have a clean wheelchair. Resident #1's headboard was also missing a large portion of it on the right side. Resident #1 said her headboard had been like that since she got to the facility and she did not like the way it looked since it was broken. Interview on 12/19/23 at 9:45 AM with LVN A revealed she was Resident #1's nurse. LVN A said she had not noticed Resident #1's wheelchair which had a brown and clumpy substance going down the right side of it. LVN A said Resident #1 told her it looked like vomit and she agreed it could have been that. LVN A said she was not sure how long the substance had been there but should have been cleaned (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few for hygiene purposes. LVN A said she also had not noticed Resident #1's headboard was missing a large portion of wood from it but that it should have been in good repair for her. LVN A said anybody who cared for Resident #1 was responsible for fixing these items for her. LVN A said there was a maintenance log at the nurse's station where staff can add maintenance requests, like the broken headboard for the Maintenance Director to fix. LVN A said anyone who saw the dried substance on Resident #1's wheelchair could have cleaned it up for her. Interview on 12/19/23 at 11:00 AM with the Maintenance Director revealed he was told earlier this morning that Resident #1's headboard needed to be replaced because there was a large portion of the wood missing. The Maintenance Director said he looked in the maintenance log and did not see an entry for Resident #1's headboard. The Maintenance Director said when staff notice things need to be repaired they were supposed to log it in the maintenance book. The Maintenance Director said once a month he went to each resident's room to inspect it and the last time he did that was in the middle of November. The Maintenance Director said he did not see Resident #1's headboard needed repair or he would have completed that quickly. The Maintenance Director said he was responsible for replacing broken things in the facility, such as a broken headboard. The Maintenance Director said the concern with Resident #1's broken headboard was that it could be a hazard to her if she got tangled in it and hurt herself. Interview on 12/19/23 at 11:40 AM with CNA B revealed she was Resident #1's CNA for the day. CNA B said she had not noticed that Resident #1's headboard had a portion of the wood missing from it. CNA B said she knew to report any maintenance concerns and log them in the maintenance book. CNA B said she never noticed Resident #1 had a dried clumpy brown substance on her wheelchair. CNA B said she assumed it was throw up from the resident because that was what usually happened sometimes when Resident #1 ate or drank something. CNA B said she was responsible for cleaning resident's wheelchairs when they became dirty. Interview on 12/19/23 at 11:57 AM with the Administrator revealed she was not aware about Resident #1's headboard until LVN A brought it to her attention this morning (12/19/23). The Administrator said there was not an entry for it in the maintenance log which was checked daily. The Administrator said residents should not have missing portions from their headboards. The Administrator said the concern with Resident #1 having a missing portion from the headboard was that it was a hazard to her if she got caught on it, she could hurt herself. The Administrator said all staff had access to the maintenance log and should have entered the information on the log so the Maintenance Director could repair it. The Administrator said the maintenance logs were checked daily by her and the Maintenance Director. The Administrator said she was not aware that Resident #1 had a dried brown clumpy substance on her wheelchair. The Administrator said that substance should not have been there and any staff in the building were responsible for cleaning it up. The Administrator said the facility just implemented a monthly schedule for wheelchairs to be cleaned on the 10 PM to 6 AM shift . The Administrator said the concern with the substance was that it was an infection control issue. The Administrator said the facility did not have a policy regarding residents having a homelike environment, but that was the goal. In an interview on 12/19/23 at 12:38 PM with the Administrator revealed the facility did not have a policy addressing wheelchairs being cleaned. Review of the maintenance log for the last three months did not reveal any entry about Resident #1's headboard needing to be replaced.
