Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews and record reviews the facility failed to provide residents the right to reside and receive services in the facility with reasonable accommodation of resident needs and preferences except when to do so would endanger the health or safety of the resident or other residents for 1 (Resident #23) of 24 residents reviewed for accommodation of needs. The facility failed to have Resident #23's soft touch call pad within reach for 2-days. The soft touch pad was located on Resident #23's nightstand out of reach. This failure could place residents at risk of not being able to communicate their need for assistance and result in unmet needs. The findings included: Record review of Resident #23's electronic face sheet, dated 09/09/2025, reflected a [AGE] year-old male who admitted on [DATE]. His diagnoses included: spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (form of cerebral palsy (a lifelong group of neurological disorders resulting from brain damage or abnormal brain development that affects a person's ability to control movement, balance, and posture) that affects the legs most severely, causing stiff muscles and scissoring gait, though it can affect the arms), convulsions (a sudden, violent, irregular movement of a limb or of the body, caused by involuntary contraction of muscles and associated especially with brain disorders), depression (mood disorder characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness or loss of interest in activities), autistic disorder (a condition related to brain development that affects how people see other and socialize with them, anxiety (a natural emotional response involving feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness, often triggered by stress), and insomnia (a common sleep disorder characterized by ongoing trouble falling asleep).Record review of Resident #23's quarterly MDS assessment, with an ARD of 08/22/2025, reflected he sometimes understands and would be sometimes understood. He was not a candidate for a BIMS which indicated his cognition was severely impaired. Behaviors were noted as C. Other behavioral symptoms not directed toward others (such as hitting or scratching self or making disruptive sounds), he received enteral feedings and was dependent on care for his ADLs. He was incontinent of bowel and bladder. Record review of Resident #23's comprehensive care plan, dated 06/20/2025, reflected, Focus: has potential for complications r/t cerebral palsy, cognitive impairments, communication deficits. Interventions: assess for adaptive equipment needs to assist with ADLs, assist with ADLs as needed. Focus: at risk for falls/injury r/t cognitive deficits, debility/generalized weakness, poor safety awareness. Interventions: call light within reach, encourage to call for assistance. Observation on 09/09/2025 at 10:30 a.m., of Resident #23 revealed he was lying on a low bed in his room, and his soft touch call pad was located on his night stand out of reach.

The survey results were behind the receptionist's desk on a shelf and the sign for the survey results was not viewable from 9/9/25-9/12/25 during the survey period.

The Administrator stated the residents and families knew the area behind the reception desk leading to the Administrator's office was an open area they could walk through. The Administrator immediately moved the survey binders and the sign to the first shelf at the beginning of the wall in view of anyone entering the front door. The Administrator stated the possible consequences of the survey results not being in the open and accessible could possibly be people would not have knowledge of the facility survey history. In an interview on 9/12/25 at 3:10 p.m. the facility survey results policy was requested from the Administrator and not received prior to exit.
