During an observation and interview on 8/02/23 at 9:35 AM, CNA A said she had worked at the facility for
two years and had worked primarily in the memory care unit for two months. CNA A said Resident #1 was
constantly walking in the memory care unit and would go in and out of all the rooms in the memory care
unit. With surveyor intervention, CNA A entered Resident #1's room. CNA A said the television cord had
probably been there for as long as she had been working in the unit. CNA A said there used to be a long
dresser in the open area where the television cable cord was laying in the floor, but they moved the dresser
and the extra bed out of the room a little while ago. CNA A said the extra bed and dresser were moved out
of Resident #1's room, because they needed them somewhere else. CNA A said she had not noticed the
television cable cord in the floor, because Resident #1 was seldomly in her room on CNA A's shift. CNA A
said it should have been reported and secured, because it was a trip hazard for the resident.

facility since December of 2022 and usually worked in the memory care unit. With surveyor intervention,
LVN B entered Resident #1's room. LVN B said CNA A had told her about the television cable cord this
morning after surveyor had interviewed CNA A. LVN B said she then notified the Maintenance Supervisor,
and he came and secured the cord along the wall. LVN B said she had not previously noticed the television
cable cord in Resident #1's floor until CNA A reported it to her on 8/02/23. LVN B said she seldomly goes
into Resident #1's room, because Resident #1 was always ambulating all other the memory care unit and
seldom in her room. LVN B said the extra bed and dresser had probably been gone about a month. LVN B
said the television cable cord in Resident #1's floor could have caused the resident to fall.
During an interview on 8/02/23 at 1:28 PM, the Maintenance Supervisor said Resident #1's television cable
cord should not have been in the floor, and it should have been secured. The Maintenance Supervisor said
he was not notified until 8/02/23 about the cable cord needing secured. The Maintenance Supervisor said
there was a maintenance logbook at each nurses' station and the staff should be writing any maintenance
issues in the logbook. The Maintenance Supervisor said the logbooks were checked frequently and repairs
were made timely. The Maintenance Supervisor said no one had reported the cable cord being in the floor
in the logbook for the memory care unit. The Maintenance Supervisor said he secured the television cable
cord as soon as he was notified. The Maintenance Supervisor said the maintenance department staff made
weekly rounds throughout the facility and looked for needed repairs. The Maintenance Supervisor said he
did not know when the last time the memory care unit rooms were checked due to, he had been off work.
During an interview on 8/02/23 beginning at 3:25 PM, the DON said Resident #1 was very active and
continuously walked throughout the memory care unit. The DON said Resident #1 had a fall in April 2023
from getting her feet tangled in the bed remote cord. The DON said they rearranged the resident's furniture
and in-serviced staff on being mindful of cords to ensure there were no tripping hazards in the residents'
rooms. The DON said she was not aware of the television cable cord being in the floor and it could have
caused a resident to trip and fall. The DON said she would be re-educating her staff to be checking the
residents' rooms for trip hazards.
