F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program (PASRR) to the maximum extent practicable to avoid duplicative testing and effort for 1 of 17 (Resident #60) residents reviewed for PASRR. Resident #60 was not referred for PASRR Level II Assessment when a diagnosis of Mental Illness was identified on 07/03/2024. This failure could affect residents with mental illnesses and placed them at risk of not being assessed to receive needed services. Findings included: Record review of Resident #60's clinical record face sheet dated 4/09/2025 revealed she was a [AGE] year-old female resident admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include chronic systolic (congestive) heart failure, type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications (high blood sugar), schizoaffective disorder-bipolar type ( hallucinations and delusion with mood), alcohol dependence, anxiety disorder, and partial traumatic amputation of right foot, level unspecified.

F 0700 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 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 review the facility failed to assess residents for risk of entrapment from bed rails prior to installation. The facility failed to review the risks and benefits of bed rails with 1 (Resident #319) of 17 residents or their resident representatives and obtain informed consent prior to installation of bed rails. Resident #319 had (2) one-quarter bed rails, one on each side of his bed with no documentation of consent or safety assessment prior to installation. This failure could place residents at risk of injury, hinder residents from getting out of bed, and/or cause a decline in resident's ability to engage in activities of daily living. Findings included: Record Review of Resident #319's Face Sheet dated 04/10/2025 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD refers to a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems), chronic atrial fibrillation (a heart condition where the upper chambers of the heart beat irregularly and can cause stroke and blood clots), pneumonia due to mycoplasma pneumoniae (a bacterial infection which can cause pneumonia, a lung infection), unspecified toxic encephalopathy (brain dysfunction caused by exposure to toxins that can cause altered mental status, memory loss, but without a specific toxin identified), and muscle wasting and atrophy (breakdown of muscles). Record review of Resident #319's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the admission MDS was not yet completed. Record review of Resident #319's Care plan dated 04/05/2025 revealed the resident was on antibiotic therapy via IV related to pneumonia and was on enhanced barrier precautions due to the indwelling device. The care plan had no mention of bed rail usage. Record review of Resident 319's clinical record revealed no physician orders for bed rails. Record review of Resident #319's clinical record under assessment tab titled Side Rail/Bed Evaluation revealed the following: Use of Rails/Bars1. Indicate the type and size of the bed rails/bars to be used: a. No bed rail(s)/Bar(s) used.

F 0700 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an observation and interview on 04/09/25 at 11:07 AM, Resident #319 was observed lying in bed with the head of the bed raised, (2) one-quarter bed rails were observed at the head of the bed on each side. Resident #319 was alert and interview able and stated he had no concerns about his care. During an interview on 04/11/25 at 8:43 AM, Resident #319 stated he used his bed rails and liked having them for repositioning but could not remember signing a consent form for them. During an interview and observation on 04/11/25 at 2:25 PM, LVN K, the charge nurse on the hallway that Resident #319 resided on, observed the resident's bed, and stated Resident #319 had (2) one-quarter bed rails on his bed. LVN K stated upon admission the residents were asked if they need or want bedrails, and if so, they must be assessed and sign a consent. During an interview on 04/11/25 at 11:20 AM, LVN H stated she was the nurse who completed the side rail/bed evaluation that stated Resident #319 had no bedrails. She stated she did not remember Resident #319 having bed rails on his bed and then stated she must have made a mistake. LVN H stated a possible negative outcome for not having a signed consent or assessment for bed rails could be death. During an interview on 04/11/25 at 11:22 AM, the ADM stated she was not sure what the procedure was for bed rails since she was so new. A negative outcome for not having a signed consent form or assessment for a bed rail could be that it could impede a resident from getting out of bed. Record Review of the facility policy titled Bed Safety and Bed Rails dated August 2022 revealed the following in part . The use of bed rails is prohibited unless the criteria for use of bed rails have been met. The use of bed rails or side rails is prohibited unless the criteria for use of bed rails have been met, including resident assessment, and informed consent. Before using bed rails for any reason, the staff shall inform the resident or representative about the benefits and potential hazards associated with bed rails and obtain informed consent .
