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.

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.
