This survey cited 5 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, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the reasonable accommodations to meet the needs of one of four sampled residents (Resident 2) reviewed for communication needs. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 2 was provided with the means to communicate her daily needs. This failure had the potential to negatively impact the resident's psychosocial well-being or result in delayed provision of care.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Translation and/or Interpretation of Facility Services revised 5/2017 showed the following:- when encountering LEP (Limited English Proficiency) individuals, staff members will conduct the initial language assessment (e.g., I Speak Cards) and notify the staff person in charge of the language access program;- the coordinator of this facility's language access program is the Director of Social Services, or his/her designee; - all LEP persons shall receive a written notice in their primary language of their rights to obtain competent oral translation services free of charge. If written notice is not possible, such notice shall be given orally;- this facility shall provide written translation of vital information pertaining to health services, resident rights and facility policy if the LEP population represents at least five (5) percent of the population or 1000 people eligible to be served by the facility (whichever is fewer);- family members and friends shall not be relied upon to provide interpretation services for the resident, unless explicitly requested by the resident. If family or friends are used to interpret, the resident must provide written consent for disclosure of protected health information;- it is understood that providing meaningful access to services provided by this facility requires also that the LEP resident's needs and questions are accurately communicated to the staff. Oral interpretation services therefore include interpretation from the LEP resident's primary language back to English; and- it is understood that to provide meaningful access to services provided by this facility, translation and/or interpretation must be provided in a way that is culturally relevant and appropriate to the LEP individual. Review of the facility's P&P titled Resident Rights revised 12/2016 showed the following:- federal and state laws guarantee certain basic rights to all residents of this facility. These rights include the resident's right to communication with and access to people and services, both inside and outside the facility and exercise his or her rights as a resident of the facility and as a resident or citizen of the United States. Medical record review for Resident 2 was initiated on 10/9/25. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 2's admission Screen and Baseline Care Plan dated 9/27/25, showed Resident 2's mental status was alert and oriented to name, place, and time, need or want an interpreter to communicate with a doctor or health care staff, and preferred language is Cantonese. Review of Resident 2's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 2's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was 12, which meant the resident had moderate cognitive impairment. On 10/8/25 at hours, Resident 2 was observed sitting up in wheelchair awake, alert, and Vietnamese and Cantonese speaking.

LVN 2 was asked what she would consider a change of condition, and stated fever, abnormal labs, decline in activities of daily living (ADL), new pain or increase pain, ALOC (altered level of consciousness), abnormal vital signs blood pressure below100/60 mmHg or pulse rate below 60 bpm or above 90 bpm, and refusal of meals or below 25% meal consumption. LVN 2 stated the assigned licensed nurse must assess the resident, complete the change of condition evaluation, notify the physician, notify responsible party or family, initiate a care plan, add to the alert charting, and document the monitoring every shift for 72 hours. Furthermore, LVN 2 stated the negative outcome would be not being able to provide the appropriate quality care and monitoring for the resident's change of condition and resident's condition could become worse. On 10/10/25 at 1536 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated abnormal vital signs were not a significant change and not considered a COC (Change of Condition). The DON stated she did not expect her licensed nurses to do a follow up entry when there are abnormal vital signs and after providing interventions to reflect resident's current condition. The DON was asked how she would know when the resident's abnormal vital signs (pulse rate) improve if there were no follow up assessments and documentation of the outcome, the DON stated the nurses cannot document every hour since they had a lot of residents. The DON stated she considered a significant COC if the resident's meal intake was 0 - 25% consecutively with refusal for three to four days. The DON was informed and acknowledged the above findings.

This failure had the potential to negatively impact the residents resulting in possible entrapment, serious injury, and death.Findings: According to the FDA's Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment dated 3/10/06, the term entrapment describes an event in which a patient/resident is caught, trapped, or entangled in the space in or about the bed rail, mattress, or hospital bed frame. Patient entrapment may result in deaths and serious injuries. These entrapment events have occurred in openings within the bed rails, between the bed rails and mattresses, under bed rails, between split rails, and between the bed rails and head or foot boards. The population most vulnerable to entrapment are elderly patients and residents, especially those who are frail, confused, restless, or who have uncontrolled body movement. The seven areas in the bed system where there is potential for entrapment are:- Zone 1: within the rail;- Zone 2: under the rail, between the rail supports or next to a single rail support;- Zone 3: between the rail and the mattress;- Zone 4: under the rail, at the ends of the rail;Zone 5: between split bed rails; - Zone 6: between the end of the rail and the side edge of the head or foot board; and- Zone 7: between the head or foot board and the mattress end. Review of the facility's P&P titled Bed Safety revised 12/2007 showed the following:- to try to prevent deaths/injuries from the beds and related equipment (including the frame, mattress, side rails, headboard, footboard, and bed accessories), the facility shall promote the following approaches like inspection by maintenance staff of all beds and related equipment as part of our regular bed safety program to identify risks and problems including potential entrapment risks and review that gaps within the bed system are within the dimensions established by the FDA; and- the maintenance department shall provide a copy of inspections to the Administrator and report results to the QA Committee for appropriate action. Copies of the inspection results and QA Committee recommendations shall be maintained by the Administrator and/or Safety Committee. a. Medical record review for Resident 2 was initiated on 10/9/25.

The Maintenance Supervisor stated he was responsible for completing the entrapment assessments of the grab rails after receiving the physician's order to apply the grab rails from the ADON. The Maintenance Supervisor stated he used the tape measure to measure the zones and referred to the FDA Bed System guide for entrapment. The Maintenance Supervisor was asked to explain how to measure Zone 5 using the facility's guide of Bed Rail 7 Zones Entrapment Assessment guide with photo of the zones. The Maintenance Supervisor stated for Zone 5, he measured from the top of the rail to the top of the mattress. The Maintenance Supervisor was informed the correct and accurate process to measure Zone 5 was to measure the length of between split bed rails, which both Residents 2 and A have bilateral upper grab rails only. The Maintenance Supervisor verified the above findings and stated the entrapment assessments were inaccurate. On 10/10/25 at 1536 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON was informed of Resident 2 and A's entrapment assessments, which all the zones were marked pass. The DON stated at least the facility did more than it was supposed to assess. The DON verified the Maintenance Supervisor's assessments were inaccurate and verified the findings. Event ID: Facility ID: 555462 If continuation sheet Page 10 of 10
