This survey cited 1 deficiency, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0700 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few 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. Findings included: Resident #1 Review of a face sheet for Resident #1. Dated 10/01/2023, revealed he was a [AGE] year old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and had diagnoses including moderate dementia with mood disturbance, muscle wasting and atrophy to right and left shoulders, erosive osteoarthritis to left knee, and transient alteration of awareness. Review of Physician Orders, dated 11/06/2022, revealed Resident #1 may have assist bars x 2 on bed to facilitate with turning and repositioning every day and night shift for bed mobility. Review of Resident #1 ' s Bed Rail Mobility Device Assessment, dated 08/31/2023, revealed no concerns for risks of entrapment and assist bars were installed for bed mobility post falls following prior interventions of a floor mat and bed in low position. Review of Resident #1 ' s MDS, dated [DATE], revealed he had a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 04, indicating severe cognitive impairment.
