shower sheets every time they were scheduled to provide the resident a shower. He stated if the resident
had refused a shower, they were to still complete the shower sheet and indicate that the resident had
refused a shower, and then notify the nurse for the resident to attempt to persuade the resident to take a
shower. He stated he was unsure if the resident had received her showers or not for the month of October.
He stated he had already in serviced his nursing staff today on Showers.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to implement interventions that are consistent
with current professional standards of practice for 1 (Resident #11) of 9 residents reviewed for
environmental hazards.
Resident #11's mattress was raised up on one side using wedges and a pillow.
Improper placement of the resident's mattress could put residents at risk for injury or entrapment.
The findings included:
Review of Resident #11's Face Sheet, dated 10/31/2024, reflected that Resident #11 was a [AGE] year-old
female admitted on [DATE]. Resident #11 was diagnosed with acute and chronic respiratory failure with
hypoxia (low levels of oxygen), severe intellectual disabilities, autistic disorder (condition that impairs the
ability to communicate or interact with others), spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (muscle stiffness and lack
of muscle control on one side of the body), cognitive communication deficit, and seizures.
Review of Resident #11's Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set: tool used to assess health status of resident)
Assessment, dated 08/26/2024, reflected a BIMS (brief interview for mental status) was not appropriate
because resident is rarely/never understood. It also reflected Resident #11 had not experienced a fall since
the prior assessment. Section GG reflected Resident #11 was dependent on staff to provide personal care.
Review of Resident #11's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 08/24/2024, reflected Resident #11 has a
behavior problem as evidenced by rolling out of low bed onto mattress beside bed. One intervention was to
Monitor behavior episodes and attempt to determine underlying cause. Consider location, time of day,
persons involved, and situations. Document behavior and potential causes.
An observation on 10/30/24 at 09:20 AM revealed Resident #11 was lying in bed asleep. The bed was
placed against the wall and a fall mat was next to the resident's bed. Resident #11's mattress was propped
up 8 inches on one side, using wedges and a pillow, along the side of the bed that was opposite of the wall.
Resident #11 was lying on the edge of the mattress, with a pillow between her head and the wall.
In an interview on 10/30/24 at 09:25 AM, LVN B stated the mattress should not be raised up like this and
she did not know who was responsible for it. She stated she peeked in the resident's room earlier that
morning to make sure the resident had not rolled out of the bed onto the fall mat. She stated the room was
dark and she did not notice the mattress was up on one side. She believed this was done on the night shift
to prevent the resident was rolling out of the bed. LVN B removed the pillow and wedges.
During an interview on 10/30/24 at 09:40 AM, CNA C stated the mattress was like that at the beginning of
the shift. CNA C stated there was a fall mat next to the bed, in case the resident rolled out of bed, and the
mattress should not have been propped up. She stated staff had to check on Resident #11 frequently to
make sure the resident was ok and not trying to get out of bed.

During an interview on 10/30/24 at 10:30 AM, the DON stated Resident #11's mattress should not have
been placed like that. He stated propping up the mattress was not good practice and may be considered a
restraint because it could prevent the resident from getting up. He stated the resident had a behavior of
rolling out of the bed and there was a mattress on the floor to cushion and prevent injury. He stated the
mattress on the floor was included in the resident's care plan. The DON stated the facility employed agency
CNAs, and when there was a concern like this, he had in-service training to let staff know it was not part of
the plan of care. He provided the phone number of the CNA who was on the schedule Tuesday night.
In a telephone interview on 10/30/24 at 10:50 AM, CMA F stated she worked Sunday night, and her next
scheduled shift was Wednesday night. She stated the DON called to see if she worked Tuesday night, and
she told him no. CMA F stated the DON told her the resident's bed should not be raised up like that. She
stated the resident had rolled out of bed before and there was a fall mat next to the bed. She stated they
had to check on the resident often to make sure she didn't roll out of the bed.
In an interview on 10/30/24 at 11:00 AM, RN E stated she and the DON had been contacting staff
members but did not know who was responsible for propping up Resident #11's mattress. She stated
Resident #11 had rolled out of the bed before, and staff made sure the fall mat was next to the resident's
bed. RN E stated the intervention was care planned. It cushioned the fall and had prevented the resident
from an injury. She stated it was not safe practice to use a resident's beds in a manner it was not made to
be used and this could limit the resident's ability to move in the bed. She stated staff members would
receive in-service training.
Review of the facility's policy Least Restrictive Environment Policy reflects that the facility will provide their
residents with the necessary care and services to attain or maintain their highest practicable physical,
mental, and psychosocial well-being and risks of using restrictive behavior include entanglement, agitation,
skin breakdown, contractures, incontinence, infection, decreased self-esteem, decline in muscle tone and
function. Undated.

took a brief, opened it, and put it beside the head of the resident. She raised the bed and lowered the head
of the bed. CNA D unfastened the brief on both sides and pushed the front part of the brief between the
legs of the resident. CNA D pulled some wipes and started to clean the front part of the resident. She did it
five times. After cleaning the front part of the resident, CNA D assisted the resident to roll towards the wall
and started cleaning the bottom of the resident. During the process of cleaning, the resident had a bowel
movement. When the resident was done, CNA D started to clean the resident's bottom. After cleaning the

came in contact with the soiled brief. She said the hands should be washed or sanitized before putting on a
new pair of gloves. She said the purpose of changing of gloves and doing hand hygiene was to prevent
infection. She said she had a training for hand hygiene and incontinent care but still forgot to do the right
procedure.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview with the Interim DON on 10/31/2024 at 6:42 AM, the Interim DON stated hands should be

after touching any soiled items, like the trash can and the soiled brief. He said gloves should be changed
after cleaning the resident's bottom. He said hands should be sanitized in between changing of gloves. He
said not changing the gloves after touching soiled items and not sanitizing the hands in between changing
of gloves could result to cross contamination and infection. He said the expectation was for the staff to be
mindful in following the procedures pertaining to infection control. The Interim DON said he would do a
one-on-one in-service with the concerned staff and then would do an in-service about infection control for
all the staff. He concluded that he would continually remind the staff to be attentive to the procedures for
infection control and that she would personally monitor infection control.
In an interview with the Administrator on 10/31/2024 at 7:36 AM, the Administrator stated not washing the
hands nor sanitizing them could contribute to cross contamination. He said not changing the gloves after
