This survey cited 2 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to accommodate the needs and preferences of one of 22 sampled residents (Resident 1) by failing to ensure Resident 1's bedside tray was within reach and not broken for Resident 1 to use. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to result in a decline in Resident 1's psychosocial well-being due to possible loss of homelike environment and maintaining independence to the extent possible. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 1 to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted Resident 1 on 1/2/2024, with diagnoses that included generalized muscle weakness (weakness of muscles caused by lack of exercise, ageing, injury, or disease), glaucoma (group of eye diseases that could affect vision and cause blindness by damaging the optic nerve), and unqualified visual loss, both eyes (decrease in vision and/or visual field that spanned from mild blurriness to complete blindness). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized resident assessment and care screening tool), dated 4/19/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had severely impaired cognition (ability to think, remember, and reason). The MDS indicated Resident 1 required supervision (oversight, encouragement, or cueing) with eating. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required partial/moderate assistance (helper did less than half the effort and lifted or held trunk or limbs, but provided less than half the effort) from staff for oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering/bathing self, personal hygiene, rolling left to right, sitting to lying, lying to sitting on side of bed, sitting to standing, chair/bed to chair transfer, tub transfers, and walking 10, 50, and 150 feet . The MDS indicated Resident 1 was dependent (helper did ALL the effort or the assistance of 2 or more helpers was required for the resident to complete the activity) with upper and lower body dressing and putting on and taking off footwear. During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/14/2024 at 10:30 am with Resident 1, in Resident 1's room, Resident 1's bedside tray was observed across from Resident 1's foot of the bed, against the parallel wall. Resident 1 had to get out of the bed to walk to the tray to reach it. Resident 1 stated Resident 1 did not have water and could not reach Resident 1's tray. Resident 1 stated staff (unidentified) always kept Resident 1's tray away from Resident 1's reach. Resident 1 stated Resident 1 could not keep personal items on the tray because the tray was slanted down at an angle, and no one would fix it. Resident 1 stated it was really hard to eat off the tray and keep things on the tray.

During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (PP) titled, Accommodation of Needs, revised in 3/2021, the PP indicated the resident's individual needs and preferences were accommodated to the extent possible, except when the health and safety of the individual or other residents would be endangered.
