Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure correct installation, use, and
maintenance of bed rails for two of twenty-one residents (Resident #1 and Resident #2) reviewed for bed
rails.
The facility failed to follow the manufacturers' recommendations and specifications for installing bed rails
and developing care plan interventions for risk of entrapment. The facility assist bars installed on Resident
#1 and Resident #2 ' s bed were not intended for use and care plans did not include risk for entrapment per
manufacturer ' s specifications. Resident #1 expired at the facility after CNA A found him in his room with
his neck between the assist bar and bed face down with his legs on the floor mat.
An IJ was identified on 10/02/2023. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 2:12 p.m.
While the IJ was removed on 10/03/2023, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and
a severity level of actual harm that is not immediate jeopardy due to the facility's need to evaluate the
effectiveness of the corrective systems.
This failure could place residents at risk for entrapment with serious injury or death.

revealed assist bars were in place for repositioning and turning of residents. The Executive Director of
Operations said it was important for staff to follow the assist bar manufacturer guidelines to ensure they are
properly installed and used accordingly to reduce risks for any hazards including injury or entrapment and
that not following manufacturer ' s guidelines could pose a risk to the residents that are using assist rails.
The Executive Director of Operation said the facility has reassessed residents with assist bars installed and
determined that some assist bars were no longer needed based on their ability to use the bar as intended
for bed mobility. The Executive Director said family was contacted to approve removal of bars prior to
removal and education was provided to residents and representatives on risks of using them. The Executive
Director of Operations said the facility provided a legend with 4-3/4 inch requirement on bed mobility
inspection sheet from FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recommendation for Zone 3 between assist bar
and mattress and that the sheet will be located at the nurse station in the bed assist form manual and
provided to every employee. The Executive Director of Operations said completion of[company 2]
manufactured assist bars installation on Drive manufactured beds will be done by the end of the day.
Review of in-service, dated 10/02/2023, revealed training was provided to nursing staff on proper use of
assist rails to include assessment for assist bars on care plan prior to usage. In-service revealed bed
