Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from any physical
restraints imposed for purposes of convenience and not required to treat the resident's medical symptoms
for three (Residents #84, #71 and Resident #83) of 26 residents reviewed for restraints.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to ensure a scoop mattress (a mattress with built up sides that create a barrier to help
stop residents from rolling or sliding out of bed) was not used with Resident #83 without any medical
indication.
2. The facility failed to ensure that bolsters (long thick pillows placed along the sides of the mattress that
create a barrier to help stop residents from rolling or sliding out of bed) were not used on the sides of
Resident # 84's and #71's beds without the residents having been evaluated for the medical need.
This failure could result in residents having physical restraints used that limited their movement without
being evaluated for the medical need for these.
Findings include:
Resident #84
Record review of Resident #84's face sheet dated 01/03/2024 revealed he was [AGE] years old and was
admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Record review of Resident #84's history and physical dated 10/10/2023 revealed he had diagnoses of
advanced dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Record review of Resident #84's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS assessment
interview was not conducted with him because he was rarely understood. Staff assessed him as having
short- and long-term memory problems. He had no behavioral symptoms. The Functional Abilities and
Goals section of the MDS indicated he needed substantial assistance to move around in bed, to sit up or lie
down, and was dependent on others to transfer from one surface to another. The resident did not have any
history of falls prior to admission or since admission. He had impairment of his range of motion on one of
his lower extremities (legs). His diagnoses included non-Alzheimer's dementia. He did not have any type of
physical restraint.
Record review of Resident #84's care plans last revised 10/23/2023 revealed no care plan related to

of the mattress he would not lean in that direction. She said he slid around in bed and reached out and if he
felt something at the side of bed he would not flip out of the bed, so the bolster helped prevent falls. She
said he had not fallen during the time she had worked with him.

CNA D stated a restraint was when you take away the movement of a resident.
Residents Affected - Some
In an interview on 01/05/2024 at 2:52 PM the Rehabilitation Director revealed that assessments for bolsters
or scoop mattresses for residents were not being done. She said that although therapists might suggest
using bolsters or scoop mattresses, there were not any current residents for whom therapy had suggested
bolsters or scoop mattresses.
In an interview on 01/05/24 at 4:58 PM the DON revealed she did not think an assessment was needed to
be made for bolsters or scoop mattresses. The DON stated the use of bolsters for a bed of a resident
should be care planned and need to have doctors' orders. The DON stated the bolster's purpose was an
intervention used for residents at high risk for falls. The DON stated bolsters addressed the issue with falls
to keep the resident safe and in bed. The DON stated the facility had not had a restraint committee
meeting; she did not indicate since when. The DON stated physical therapy did not assess the residents for
a bolster or scoop mattress. The DON stated using the bolsters/scoop mattress would be a concern
because the residents could injury themselves with the restraints as well as impede on their rights.
In an interview on 01/05/2024 at 05:52 PM the Administrator revealed she would not be able to comment
on whether residents should be assessed for use of bolsters or scoop mattresses without consulting with
her nursing team or corporate compliance. She said the Restraint Assessment Committee mentioned in the
facility Restraint policy dated 02/01/2017 might have been used to consider the use of bed rails but not for
bolsters of scoop mattresses. She stated she did not know if consent was needed to use bolsters or scoop
mattresses. She said that if bolsters or scoop mattresses were restraints, consent for their use would be
needed.
Record review of the facility policy titled Restraints dated 02/01/07 revealed, It is the policy of this facility to
maintain an environment that prohibits the use of restraints for discipline or convenience. Restraint usage
shall be limited to circumstances in which the resident had medical symptoms that warrant the use of
restraints. A Restraint Assessment Committee will evaluate and establish the need for a restraint use or
restraint reduction, for residents in our facility.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident who needs
respiratory care is provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice for 1 (dirty utility
room) of 1 oxygen crate observed for oxygen management.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to ensure an oxygen crate with 24 cannisters, in the dirty utility room, was improperly
stored.
2. The facility failed to ensure an oxygen sign was posted outside of the dirty utility room where the oxygen
tanks were stored.
These failures could place residents on oxygen therapy at risk of not receiving oxygen support due to
improper storage.
Findings include:
Observation on 01/04/24 at 10:57 AM in the dirty utility room revealed a crate of oxygen with 24 oxygen
cannisters standing up unsecured (not strapped down or chain up) on a moveable wagon/crate There were
4 wheelchairs with cardboard boxes filled with items in the dirty utility room. It was unknown if the
cardboard boxes were filled with trash. A brown furniture cabinet and empty clear trash bag was also in the
dirty utility room.
During an interview on 01/05/24 11:43 AM with Central Supply, he stated when the oxygen cannisters were
delivered, he needed to place the oxygen crate with cannisters somewhere and was too busy to place them
in the approved oxygen storage located in the front entrance of hall 300. Central Supply stated the oxygen
crate with cannisters being stored in the dirty utility room needed to have an oxygen sign posted outside of
the room and should have not been stored in the dirty utilities room. Central Supply stated the reason the
oxygen storage was the proper stored was being oxygen cannisters were volatile (unstable) and for safety
reasons. Central Supply stated the oxygen crate with cannisters was not to be stored anywhere else
because they were flammable. Central Supply stated he and the Maintenance Director were responsible for
ensuring all oxygen crates with cannisters were stored in the oxygen storage room and nowhere else.
During an interview on 01/05/24 at 4:58 PM with the DON, she stated oxygen signs were used to notify
everyone that oxygen was in use and caution. The DON stated all oxygen was stored in the oxygen storage
room and nowhere else because they were combustible. The DON stated the oxygen crate with cannisters
in the dirty utility room did not go in there and was improperly stored. The DON stated everyone was
responsible for ensuring oxygen crates were stored in the proper storage room. The DON stated there was
a risk to storing and not placing an oxygen sign up outside of the storage but did not know what the exact
risk would be.
Record review of the facility's Oxygen Administration policy dated 2003 revealed, Place No Smoking signs
in area when oxygen was administrated and stored. Store oxygen cannister in an area free of flammable
substances. Avoid the use of electrical appliances in the area of oxygen use as well.

F 0908
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Record review of the FDA Food Code 2022 dated 01/18/2023 revealed Water temperature is critical to
sanitization in warewashing operations. This is particularly true if the sanitizer being used is hot water. The
effectiveness of cleaners and chemical sanitizers is also determined by the temperature of the water used.
Effective mechanical hot water sanitization occurs when the surface temperatures of utensils passing
through the warewashing machine meet or exceed the required 71°C(160°F).
