The DON stated, Resident 51 does not need bed rails for positioning or as restraints because she does not even move or try to get out of bed. DON stated there is no documentation on device assessment or assessment for bed rail because there was no need for the resident.

She stated, the bed rails should have been placed down after assisting, cleaning, or moving resident. She stated they don't use side rails as restraints because of its safety issues like getting their limbs stuck in the rails or bumping their heads - which is why the facility is restraint free. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (p/p) titled Proper Use of Side Rails, revised 2021, indicated that the facility prohibits the use of side rails as a restraint. P/p indicated side rails are considered a restraint when they limit the resident's freedom of movement depending upon the individual's condition and circumstances. An assessment of the residents' symptoms and the reason for using side rails will be conducted prior to use, including their mental status and reason for use of the side rail, and will be documented in the residents' record. The physician will also review and order side rail usage as he deems necessary .The use of side rails as an assistive device will be addressed in the residents' care plan. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Bed Safety, revised 2021, indicated that if side rails are used, there shall be an interdisciplinary assessment of the resident, consultation with the Attending Physician, and input from the resident and/or legal representative .Before using side rails for any reason, the staff shall inform the resident and family about the benefits and potential hazards associated with side rails.

The DS stated, it's between 100-200 part per million (PPM). (PPM is a method uses in measuring concentration in a sanitizing solution). When asked by the surveyor what the correct concentration should be for effective sanitization the DS stated, it should be 200 ppm. During observation and interview with cook 2 on 10/14/21 at 3:10 p.m., cook 2 stated that the sanitizing solution in the bucket was mixed by the day shift staff and it should be changed every 2 hours. [NAME] 2 was observed: he poured the solution into the black bucket and cleaned the bucket.

The P&P also indicated the quaternary solution used for sanitizing clean surfaces in the kitchen will be made according to the instructions on the container. According to the P&P, the food and nutrition worker will place the solution in an appropriate bucket labeled for its contents. The concentration of the solution will be tested every shift or when cloudy and the result recorded on the quaternary ammonium log. It also indicated the solution will be replaced when the reading is below 200 ppm. During a review of facility's policy and procedure titled Food Receiving and Storage revised on 2021, the policy and procedure indicated that dry foods that are stored in the bins will be removed from original packaging, labeled, and dated 'use by date'.
