Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to ensure each resident was treated with
respect, dignity, and care for 1 of 15 residents (Resident #80) observed for resident rights.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #80 was served her meal and provided assistance to eat at the same
time as the other residents.
The facility failed to ensure that they were engaging Resident #80 while assisting her with lunch.
This failure could place residents at risk of lowered self-esteem, depression, and frustration.

Resident #80 and began assisting her with food.
Observation at 05/27/25 at 12:05-12:09 pm in the secured unit dining room CNA B and RA C were talking
with each other and not engaging the residents while they were assisting them with meals.
Observation on 05/28/25 at 11:41 am in the secured unit dining room one resident at the assisted dining
table had food. Three other residents were waiting on food.
Observation on 05/25/25 at 11:47 am in the secured unit dining room revealed the two residents at the
assisted dining table, not including Resident #80, received their food.
Observation on 05/25/25 at 11:54 am in the secured unit dining room revealed Resident #80 received her
food .
Interview with CNA B on 05/27/25 at 2:19 pm she revealed that Resident #80 normally does not wait that
long for her food. She stated that because surveyors were in the building they were taking longer to do
everything. She stated that sometimes RA C feeds both residents at the same time but did not today
because surveyors were in the building. She stated that the outcomes from not serving Resident #80 on
time were evident. She could tell Resident #80 was upset and frustrated when she was made to wait.
Interview with LVN A on 05/29/2025 at 10:07 am she revealed that she was aware Resident #80 did not
receive her food on time yesterday and was frustrated. When she saw Resident #80 getting frustrated, she
instructed RA to feed both residents until another caregiver was available to help. She stated that it was
important for the caregivers to interact with the residents when feeding them because it made them feel
important.
Interview with MA D on 05/29/25 at 10:30 am she stated that she does not assist residents with eating at
this facility, but she was trained to communicate and engage with the residents. She stated waiting a long
time for food would make her upset because it might be cold, and the residents might have felt that way too.
Interview with RA C on 05/29/25 at 10:30 am revealed that she did not feed Resident #80 because she was
unsure what to do when surveyors were in the building. She realized it took a long time to get Resident
#80's food and she recognized that Resident #80 was upset. She stated when she got approval from LVN A
that was when she was feeding both residents at the same time. She stated that residents would have felt
bad if they did not receive their food on time. She said if it had been her, she would not have liked it.
Interview with ADON on 05/29/25 at 11:04 am revealed that it was important for residents to be addressed
by the caregiver feeding them. She stated that the CNA's can feed two people at once, as long as there's
no cross contamination. She stated that 20 minutes was too long for anyone to wait for their food while
others were eating.

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
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to use appropriate alternatives prior to installing
a side or bed rails, assess the resident for risk of entrapment, review the risk and benefits, and obtain
informed consent prior to installation for 3 out of 15 residents (Residents #63, #80, and #100) reviewed for
bedrails.
The facility failed to assess and get signed consents for Residents #63, #80, and #100 prior to installing
bed rails.
This deficient practice could affect residents who utilized bed rails by placing them at risk for unintended
entrapment of the head, neck, or limbs, restraints, and injuries.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #63's face sheet dated 05/29/25 reflected a 72 -year-old male who was admitted
to the facility on [DATE] with relevant diagnoses of dementia, cellulitis (major infection of the skin), cognitive
communication deficit (a generalized inability to understand and communicate due to disease state),
anxiety and insomnia (inability to sleep consistently.)
Record review of Resident #63's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected no BIMS score and indicates
severe impairment of cognitive skills for daily decision making.
Record review of Resident #63's care plan updated 02/12/25 reflected half rails up for bed mobility
positioning and transfers.
Record review of Resident #63's physician orders reflected no orders for the use of side rails.
Record review of Resident #63's assessment reflected no side rail assessment that included informed
consent on file for the use of bedrails.
An observation on 05/27/25 at 2:09 PM revealed Resident #63 was reclining in his bed with half rails up on
the left side of the bed.
In an interview on 05/28/25 at 9:37 am with RP for Resident #63 she stated that she was surprised to see
the bed rails up. She stated that she was unaware that they had bed rails installed and that the facility had
not talked to her about the rails. She revealed that
Resident #63 does not even know how to use the remote to the television so she was sure he could not
negotiate getting bedrails down.
Record review of Resident #100's face sheet dated 05/29/25 reflected a [AGE] year-old male who admitted
to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease with late onset (a condition that causes
memory loss), unspecified dementia, adult failure to thrive, and muscle wasting and atrophy (a condition
where the muscles degrade over time.)

assessment called side rails that was what any nurse should have filled out for new admissions. She stated
she had not admitted anyone recently, so she did not think about checking for that admission assessment.
She stated that they are supposed to print and have the family sign the assessment. LVN A stated that if it
was not in the electronic record, it would not have been stored anywhere else.
An interview on 05/29/25 at 10:30 AM with MA D she stated that bed rails did need consents because the
families need to be aware due to the fact that they were considered restraints. She stated that people
needed the bed rails but was dependent on her charge nurse to ensure that proper information and consent
was obtained to use the rails.
An interview on 05/29/25 at 10:43 am with RA C revealed that she was aware some residents used bedrails
but thought that they were only supposed to put up one side. She stated that she did not think consent was
needed in all situations, but they needed to treat each resident individually. The residents had the right to
get up, but normally they would keep the bed in the lowest position with a fall mat before using bedrails.
An interview on 05/29/25 at 11:04 am with ADON she stated that she was not sure of the facility policy for
bed rails. She stated many residents use side rails to help them turn in bed. She stated she believed they
should follow facility policy about the use of bed rails.
An interview on 05/29/25 at 11:23 AM with the DON she stated that there was a restraint policy in the
admission packet. She stated the signed restraint policy would be considered informed consent for bed rails
to be implemented. She revealed that staff should do an assessment for bed rails upon admission and was
unsure why they were not completed. She said that residents can be injured if bed rails are not used
properly.
An interview on 05/29/25 at 01:55 PM with the ADM who stated that there were many different types of bed
rails in the facility, but he expects to follow the bed rail policy because he was aware they could be
considered restraints. He expected the facility to have informed consents and bed rail assessments on file.
He stated that residents could become trapped or injured if used improperly.
Review of the facility policy Bed Safety and Rails dated August of 2022 reflected:
Bed rails are adjustable metal or rigid plastic bars that attach to the bed. They are available in a variety of
types, shapes, and sizes ranging from full to one-half, one- quarter, or one-eighth lengths. Some bed rails
are not designed as part of the bed by the manufacturer and may be installed on or used along the side of
a bed. For the purpose of this policy bed rails include:
a.
side rails.
b.
safety rails; and
c.
grab/assist bars.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that all drugs and biologicals used in
the facility were labeled in accordance with professional standards, including expiration dates for 1 of 4
medication carts reviewed.
During observation of MC A, Resident #16's Artificial Tears had an expiration date of 08/2024.
This failure could lead to medication not being effective, and therefore impacting resident health.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #16's undated face sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to
the facility on [DATE]. Resident #16 had diagnoses which included chronic kidney disease, hypertensive
heart failure, need for assistance with personal care, anxiety disorder, dry eye syndrome unspecified
lacrimal gland (dryness of the cornea and conjunctiva caused by a deficiency in tear production), and
xeroderma of left upper eyelid (excessively dry skin).
Record review of Resident #16's Prescription Order reflected she had been prescribed Natural Tears OTC
0.1 - 0.3% 2 drops to both eyes four times a day as needed for dry eye syndrome of unspecified lacrimal
gland.
Observation on 05/29/25 at 10:38 AM of MC A revealed Resident #16's Artificial Tears (Natural Tears) had
an expiration date of 08/2024.
Interview on 05/29/25 at 10:45 AM with RN A revealed the expired Artificial Tears had somehow been
missed on MC A. RN A stated the charge nurse was responsible for checking the medication cart each
shift, and Pharmacist checked all medication carts and medication rooms once per month. RN A stated an
adverse effect of an expired medication was decreased effectiveness.
Interview on 05/29/25 at 02:14 PM with the DON who revealed she had been the DON since 2021. She
stated the charge nurse should be checking the medication carts for expiration dates before administering
them, and pharmacist checks all medications and carts on a monthly basis, and the findings go into a
pharmacy report. The DON further stated the Pharmacist and neighborhood manager were responsible for
ensuring there were no expired medications on the medication carts. She stated an expired medication
might not be therapeutic to a resident if the medication was past the expiration date.
Interview on 05/29/25 at 02:37 PM with the Administrator who stated he has worked in the facility for 11
years. The Administrator stated staff should check every shift for expired medications, and certainly before
they administer anything. He further stated his expectation was for staff that administer medications to the
residents to look and keep an eye out for expired medications and pull it out and do not give it to the
resident. An adverse effect of residents receiving an expired medication was it could make them ill, or the
medication would not be effective.
