F 0919 Make sure that a working call system is available in each resident's bathroom and bathing area. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to allow adequate equipment for residents to call for staff assistance through a communication system which relays the call directly to a staff member or to a centralized staff work area for 36 Resident rooms (102, 104, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 117, 118, 119, 123, 125, 201, 202, 203, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 213, 215, 217, 218, 219, 303, 309, 311, 313, 314, 315, 317 and 319) out of 37 resident rooms reviewed for environment. Residents Affected - Some The facility failed to ensure all portions of the call system were functioning after loss of power by verifying that each resident room call lights were functioning effectively after repairs were made and verifying monthly thereafter. The facility failed to provide alternate means of communication with the staff that was always accessible to all residents while in their beds and in resident bathrooms to allow residents to call when needing staff assistance. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 11/10/2023. While the immediacy was removed on 11/13/2023, the facility remained out of compliance at a severity level of no actual harm with a potential for more than minimal harm and a scope of pattern due to the facility still monitoring the effectiveness of their Plan of Removal. This failure could place the residents at risk of injury and of not being able to obtain assistance or care as needed. The findings included: Record review of the facility's undated Resident Room roster received on 11/09/2023 revealed there were 61 resident rooms in the building. Record review of Resident #1's electronic face sheet dated 11/10/2023, revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and initially admitted on [DATE]. His diagnoses included the following: brain stroke, weakness to one side of body following the stroke, abnormal gait and mobility, fracture to the spine, shortness of breath, muscle weakness, unsteady on feet, history of falling, need for assistance with personal care, seizures, elevated blood pressure and disorientation. Record review of Resident #1's annual MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 5 out of 15 indicating severe cognitive impairment. His vision was moderately impaired. He required supervision with set up help for transfers. He required supervision with one person assist for bed mobility, toilet use and personal hygiene. He had impairment to one side of his upper and lower extremity (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.
