to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and interview, the facility failed to provide a safe, functional, sanitary, and comfortable
environment for residents, staff, and the public for 2 (Resident # 1 and Resident #2) of 5 residents reviewed
for environment.
-The facility failed to ensure staff had access to memory care Residents #1 and #2, for approximately 50
minutes, in the event of an incident or emergency when their bedroom door became wedged with their
bathroom door preventing the bedroom door from opening.
On 01/30/24 an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified. While the IJ was removed on 02/01/24, the facility
remained out of compliance at a severity level of potential for more than minimal harm and a scope of
isolated due to the facility continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their Plan of
Removal.
This failure placed residents at risk of not receiving appropriate care, interventions, and/or death.
The findings included:

was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident's diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease (memory
loss), insomnia (trouble falling and/or staying asleep), abnormalities of gait and mobility (problems with
walking and standing), cognitive communication deficit (difficulty with communication), muscle weakness,
and dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing food or liquid).
Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 01/19/24, revealed a BIMS score of 0,
indicating severe cognitive impairment.
Record review of Resident #1's undated care plan revealed the following: resident had impaired thought
processes, ADL self-care performance deficit. Resident required one-person assist as condition warranted
with bed mobility, one-person extensive assistance with toilet use, and limited one-person assist as
condition warranted due to fluctuation in condition related to disease process with transferring. Resident
was at risk for falls and had a potential for uncontrolled pain.

Record review of Resident #2's admission Record, dated 01/30/24, revealed a [AGE] year-old female who
was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident's diagnoses included Parkinson's disease (brain
disorder that causes involuntary movements), psychosis (conditions in the mind that results in difficulties
determining what is real and what is not real), muscle weakness, lack of coordination, and cognitive
communication deficit (difficulty with communication).
Record review of Resident #2's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 12/14/23, revealed a BIMS score of 0,
indicating severe cognitive impairment.
Record review of Resident #2's undated care plan revealed the following: resident had impaired cognitive
function, ADL self-care performance deficit and required one-person supervision for transfers and
one-person supervision as needed for bed mobility and walking. She had impaired thought processes, a
communication problem related to neurological symptoms related to Parkinson's and dementia and was at
risk for falls related to decreased safety awareness, gait/balance problems, impaired mobility, and
psychoactive drug use.
Observation on 01/30/24 at 7:38 a.m., revealed Resident #1 and Resident #2's bedroom door, located in
the memory care unit, did not open when the state surveyor attempted to enter their bedroom. The state
surveyor notified Nurse A and asked her if she could open the door. Nurse A went to the bedroom door an
attempted to open the door but was unsuccessful. Nurse A called out to CNA A who walked over to the
door and said she thought the bathroom door was wedged behind the bedroom door which was preventing
it from opening. CNA A and Nurse A took turns knocking on the bedroom door and calling out for Resident
#2 asking her to open the door. CNA A said Resident #1 was Spanish speaking and did not understand
what they were saying. Nurse B went to the residents' door and attempted to open the door and called out
for Resident #2 by name. CNA A, Nurse A, and Nurse B were unable to get the residents bedroom door
open. The Floor Tech was notified, and he tried to get the door open but was unable. The Floor Tech left and
returned shortly with a metal tool that he slid through the door and used to close the bathroom door.
Resident #1 and #2's bedroom door was opened at approximately 7:50 a.m.
Observation on 01/30/24 at 7:51 a.m., revealed Resident #2 appeared to be asleep in her bed an unaware
of what happened. Resident #1 was lying in bed, awake, and unaware of what happened.
In an interview on 01/30/24 at 8:35 a.m., CNA A said she had been working at the facility for approximately
20 years. She said she was working the 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. shift today and clocked in at approximately
6:30 a.m. She said she checked on Residents #1 and #2 at approximately 7:00 a.m. but when she went to
open their bedroom door, she noticed the bathroom door was wedged behind the bedroom door preventing
it from opening. She said she let Nurse A know the door would not open at approximately 7:05 a.m. She
said Nurse A and she took turns trying to open the door. She said they also knocked on their bedroom door
and called out to Resident #2 many times to open the door. She said Nurse A was also not able to open the
door. She said the Floor Tech went and tried to open the door but could not get it to open. She said the
Floor Tech went and got equipment to open the door and was able to get the residents bedroom door
opened. She said she thinks Resident #2 went to the bathroom, left the restroom door open too far, and
then went back to bed. She said if there was any type of emergency, she would not think twice and would
go outside to the patio, break the windows, and climb in to get to them and/or get them out of the building.
She said she believed it would take approximately 5 minutes for her to do this. She said Resident's #1 and
#2 walked without assistance and did not use any assistive devices. She said this was the first time this
happened and had not happened before to any other residents.

In an interview on 01/30/24 at 10:17 a.m., Nurse A said she had been working at the facility since October
2023. She said she was working the 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. shift today and arrived at the facility at
approximately 6:20 a.m. She said she was at the nurse's station when CNA A told her that Resident #1 and
#2's bedroom door would not open. She said she went to the bedroom door and tried to open it, but it would
not open. She said she called Resident #2's name, and the resident said huh. She said she told Resident
#2 to open the door many times, but she did not open the door. She said she told Nurse B that Resident
#2's door would not open. She said she thought maybe something was caught on the door because when
she pushed the door it would not open. She said she went to get the Maintenance Director but saw the
Floor Tech when she was leaving the memory care unit. She said the Floor Tech called the Maintenance
Director, and she told him that the bedroom door would not open when they tried to open it. She said the
Maintenance Director told her to give the phone back to the Floor Tech so he could tell him what to do. She
said when she gave the phone back to the floor Tech, he walked away and then came back with a tool and
opened the door. She said if there was a medical emergency, she would call for another nurse, call 911, call
the nursing director, run outside to the back where the residents' bedroom window was located, and break
the window if needed, and try to attend to the patient to see what the emergency was .
In an interview on 01/30/2024 at 11:12 a.m., the Maintenance Director said he had been working at the
facility for approximately 3 years. He said he received a phone call this morning at approximately 7:52 a.m.
from the Floor Tech. He said the Floor Tech told him that the restroom door and bedroom door to Resident
#1 and 2's room were closed together and would not let the other one open. He said he told him he had to
go to the closet and get a metal door opener to get the doors opened. He said this morning, when he
received the phone call, was the first time he found out that the bathroom door was not working properly.
He said all facility doors were checked monthly. He said in case of an emergency, they would call him, and
he would instruct staff on what to do, and if needed he would go to the facility. He said the department
heads and some of the facility staff submitted work orders through their online system. He said the other
method was by writing a request in the maintenance log located at each nurse's station. He said the
bathroom doors had a spring, not a pin, that need to be taken out and readjusted so the bathroom door
would shut back on its own faster than the bedroom door opened .
In an interview on 01/30/24 at 12:02 p.m., the Floor Tech said he had been working at the facility for
approximately 2 years. He said the nurse (could not recall their name) told him Resident #1 and #2's
bedroom door could not be opened. He said he called the Maintenance Director who told him to go get a
metal tool from the closet located outside. He said he used the metal tool to get the door to open. He said
today was the first time he was told that the bathroom door was not working properly .
In an interview on 01/30/23 at 4:11 p.m., the Administrator said she had been working at the facility since
12/15/23. She said to her knowledge this type of incident had not happened in the past. She said the
Maintenance Director showed her the bathroom door and told her the hinge had gotten off
balance/dropped. She said the Maintenance Director showed her that he fixed the door and told her he
checked the other doors to make sure it was not happening with any of the other bathroom doors. She said
she asked the Maintenance Director if the doorknob could be switched to another shaped doorknob that
the resident could still open. She said the Maintenance Director was going to talk to his supervisor about
coming up with a solution. She said in case of a medical emergency, her expectation would be for staff to
call 911, notify manager, notify maintenance, take the door knob off, and continue to make entry into the
room until emergency personnel arrived on scene. She said the fire department was approximately 1 to 2
blocks away and would arrive to the facility quickly .
