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

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure resident environment remained as free of accident hazards as is possible as indicated in the facility's policies and procedures (P&P) titled, Policy & Procedure: Accident/Incident Prevention, and Policy: Call Lights, by failing to: 1. Ensure call light was within reach for two of 11 sampled residents (Residents 1 and 2) in the resident's room. 2. Ensure call light pull cords were within reach for 10 of 11 sampled residents (Residents 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11) when using the bathroom. 3. Ensure call lights were functioning for three of 11 sampled residents (Residents 2, 6, and 7) when using the bathroom. These deficient practices increased the potential for an accident and/or a delay in care due to the inability to call for help because the call lights did not flash above the room door and/or the pull cords were too short to reach from the toilet.

During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident assessment and care screening tool), dated 5/11/24, the MDS indicated, Resident 1 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to think and process information). The MDS indicated, Resident 1 required partial/moderate assistance with bathing, oral/personal hygiene, and supervision or touching assistance with toilet use, (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.

During an interview on 8/1/24 at 2:47 p.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, in Resident 1's room, CNA 1 was informed that Resident 1's call light was wrapped around the bed rail on the lower part of the bed. CNA 1 stated, It should not be wrapped around the bed rail like that because Resident 1 will not be able to reach the call light. CNA 1 unwrapped the call light cord from the bed rail and pinned the call light to the bed blanket (at the head of bed) where it would be in Resident 1's reach to use to call for assistance. CNA 1 stated, It is important to have the call light be visible and within reach for Resident 1 to use to call for help if we are not around.

F 0919 Make sure that a working call system is available in each resident's bathroom and bathing area. 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 provide a functioning and accessible call light system as indicated in the facility's policy and procedure titled, Policy: Call Lights, by failing to: Residents Affected - Some 1. Ensure call light was within reach for two of 11 sampled residents (Residents 1 and 2) in the resident's room. 2.

Ensure call lights were functioning for three of 11 sampled residents (Residents 2, 6, and 7) when using the bathroom. These deficient practices had the potential to delay the provision of care for Residents 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 and negatively affect the residents' well-being when the residents were unable to call staff for assistance.
