a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 45269
Residents Affected - Few Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of ten residents (Resident 105) during Resident Council Meeting (organized group of residents who meet regularly to discuss and address concerns about their rights, quality of care and life) know how to file a grievance.
This deficient practice had the potential to violate resident's rights to have his grievance heard and addressed.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 105's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated Resident 105 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including acute pyelonephritis (a bacterial infection causing inflammation of kidneys), benign prostatic hyperplasia (non-cancerous enlargement of prostate gland), and hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (damage to the brain from interruption of its blood supply)
During a review of Resident 105's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] standardized assessment and care screening tool) dated 5/28/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 105 had an intact cognition (ability to think, understand, learn, and remember) and required partial assistance with transfer to and from bed to chair, toilet transfer, toileting hygiene and dressing.
During a Resident Council Meeting on 6/25/2024, at 11:15 a.m., Resident 105 stated he did not know how to file a grievance or who was the person to approach if he needed assistance or help to file a grievance or address a concern.
During an interview on 5/27/2024, at 5:31 p.m. with the Social Service Director (SSD), SSD stated the resident filled up a form if they had grievance about their care or missing personal items, refer them to the appropriate department and present their findings to the residents once they had reached a conclusion and resolution. SSD stated it was important for residents to know how to file grievance so the facility can address their needs and concerns.
During an interview on 6/28/2024, at 6:22 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated residents should know how to file a grievance so the facility can meet their needs and prevent frustration among residents who required assistance in filing a grievance.
During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Grievance/ Concern dated 8/25/2021, the P&P indicated Information about grievance will be provided upon admission or upon request, the resident or resident representative are provided with the Grievance Policy which informs of their right to voice grievances or concerns and the process for doing so.

F 0604 Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 46415 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of two sampled residents Residents Affected - Few (Resident 16 and 56) were free from unnecessary restraint (any manual method or physical or mechanical device, material or equipment attached or adjacent to the resident's body that the individual cannot remove easily which restricts freedom of movement or normal access to one's body) as evidenced by:
1. Resident 16 having a bolster mattress (mattress has a defined perimeter that helps to create a secure and stable edge around the bed) with no order, no assessment, and no consent (permission for something to happen).
2. Identify, and appropriately monitor the use of built-in bolster pads in Resident 56's bed.
These deficient practices had the potential to place Resident 16 and Resident 56 at risk for unnecessary prolonged use of restraints, restricting movement and impaired circulation.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 16's Face Sheet (Admission record), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 16 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and was readmitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnosis including chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure (heart's main pumping chamber on the left becomes stiff and is unable to fill the heart with blood properly), gastrostomy (surgical opening into the stomach for nutritional support), unspecified dementia (loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life), aphasia (difficulty speaking), abnormal posture, cardiomegaly (enlarged heart), and psychosis (condition of the mind that results in difficulty determining what is real and what is not).
During a review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set [(MDS) a standardized assessment and care screening tool], dated 6/7/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 16's cognitive skills (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) were moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 16 is dependent on all aspects of actives of daily living (ADL: bathing, personal hygiene, transferring). The MDS indicated Resident 16 has impairment on both upper (arms/shoulders) extremities and utilizes a wheelchair.
During a review of Resident 16's Order Summary Report (Physician Order), the order summary report indicated:
a. On 6/20/2022, Resident 16 may have a mattress with built in bilateral upper and lower bolster while in bed to promote proper body alignment.
b. On 7/18/2023, to discontinue the order for Resident 16 to have a mattress with built in bilateral upper and lower bolster while in bed to promote proper body alignment.
During a review of Resident 16's consent forms, there was no consent for bolster mattress.

F 0604 During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/25/2024 at 8:30 a.m. with the Assistant Minimum Data Set Coordinator (AMDSC), AMDSC stated the bed Resident 16 is not on a low air mattress (designed to Level of Harm - Minimal harm or prevent and treat pressure wounds) and is not sure if the matter is called a bolster mattress. AMDSC stated potential for actual harm this is not a restraint if the resident is able out move and can get out of bed. AMDSC stated she is not sure how often restraints are checked, but prior to restraining a resident, the resident must be assessed, receive a Residents Affected - Few consent for the use of restraints, and notify the family if they accept the use of restraints. AMDSC stated you cannot restraint anyone without a consent and assess if the resident really needs the restraints or not.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/25/2024 at 8:59 a.m. with Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RNS 1), RNS 1 stated the mattress looks like a special mattress as it has a zipper and is thicker than a regular mattress.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/25/2024 at 3:26 p.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), LVN 2 stated Resident 16 has the bolster mattress due to being a fall risk, so the resident won't be able to get out of bed and fall. LVN 2 stated an order is required to place the bolster mattress.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 16's order on 6/25/2024 at 3:28p.m. with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated she does not see an order or consent for the bolster mattress and does not know why the resident has that bed.
During an interview on 6/25/2024 at 4:10p.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant 4 (CNA 4), CNA 4 stated the bolster mattress is to protect the resident from falling and the wedge is in the bed and the resident cannot remove it. CNA 4 stated the bed keep the resident in the center. CNA 4 stated it restricts the resident's movements and is not comfortable for the resident.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 16's order on 6/26/2024 at 3:25p.m. with RNS 1, RNS 1 stated the order indicated the built in bilateral bolster mattress was to promote body alignment and agreed that the mattress did look as if it had wedges that were built in. RNS 1 stated the order was started
on 6/20/2022 and ended on 7/18/2023. RNS 1 stated if the order was discontinued, the bed should have been removed. RNS 1 stated she is not sure if you need a consent, but if it were a special bed, you would most likely need a consent from the responsible party and require a doctor's order. RNS 1 stated if the bolster mattress was continued, they would need a new order or try and remove the mattress. RNS 1 stated Resident 16 would be monitored to see if he is trying to get out of bed, whether it is impeding him in any way, or whether it was helping his body alignment to determine if Resident 16 really needs this bolster mattress.

F 0604 During an interview on 6/28/2024 at 7:17p.m. with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), ADON stated ADON stated they do not use side rails (a barrier attached to the side of a bed) and had a discussion of Level of Harm - Minimal harm or whether these beds with bolsters qualify as a possible form of restraint. ADON stated a restraint prevents a potential for actual harm resident from getting out of bed to prevent them from falling. ADON stated the low air mattress with bolster mattress are for residents who have already had a fall being on a low air mattress and would require an Residents Affected - Few order for the bolster. ADON stated upon admission, there is a generalized form that indicates a consent for devices, and since a resident's condition can change anytime, the consent for devices should be signed so that in case something did happen in a case where a device is needed, it can already be placed. ADON stated the residents on the bolster mattress should be monitored and assessed frequently since they have a higher risk for falls. ADON stated if a resident is on restraints, they require monitoring to prevent complications such as skin breakdown, fractures, pain, and trauma.
During an interview on 6/28/2024 at 9:11p.m. with DON, Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated a restraint is
a device that limits the movement of resident. DON stated the bolster mattress beds were already utilized at
the facility when she was hired in December 2023, and no one had questioned the bed. DON stated Resident 16 is not a regular bed and using a least restrictive device as they do not have a lot of bed rails or grab bars. DON stated independent residents can go in and out of the bed freely, however the residents in bed have very limited mobility, are dependent, and cannot move in and out of bed with the bolster mattress. DON stated residents using a bolster mattress require an order and should have a consent as well because
it is a device, and all device utilization requires a consent. DON stated during the clinical meeting, it would be discussed whether the device is needed based on the residents' condition (if they are improving or declining) to ensure the changing condition of the resident's needs are met. DON stated the purpose for the bolster mattress is to reposition the resident and bed bound residents meet the requirements, but not all the residents require the bolster mattress. DON stated if a resident is having a behavioral episode, or is restless, or is trying to climb out and dangle their fee, they would get the bolster mattress to prevent them from getting out of bed.
During a concurrent observation of Resident 16's bed and interview on 6/28/2024 at 9:29p.m. with DON, DON stated she has not seen Resident 16 move his lower extremities (legs and hips) but can move his upper (arms and shoulders) extremities and the bolster mattress is positioned lower at the head of the bed compared to the foot of the bed. DON stated Resident 16 cannot move in and out of bed on his own. DON reiterated any device utilized need a consent and residents who use the device needs to be assessed as needed and quarterly to see if they still need it or not. DON stated if the resident is not being monitored while using a device indicates they are a not attending to the resident's needs.
2.During a review of Resident 56's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated Resident 56 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and was readmitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including sepsis( life threatening emergency that happens when your body's response to an infection), Parkinson's disease without dyskinesia( progressive disorder that affects the nervous system without involuntary movements ), unspecified dementia with other behavioral disturbance (loss of cognitive functioning such as thinking, remembering and reasoning which can affect and interfere with daily life and activities), and anxiety disorder.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/25/2024, at 8:11 a.m. in Resident 48's room with Assistant Minimum Data Set Coordinator (AMDSC), Resident 48's feeding pump (medical device used to deliver liquid nutrients directly into the digestive tract of a resident who is unable to take food or liquids by mouth) was alarming continuously, and the feeding pump's screen indicated hold error. AMDSC entered the room, practiced hand hygiene then wore a gown and gloves and tried to trouble shoot why the feeding pump was alarming. Observed AMDSC checked the feeding pump and the connection between the gastrostomy tube to the feeding pump and then reset the pump. AMDSC removed her gown first and the used gloves threw them all into the trash can. AMDSC admitted she did not doff her PPE properly and was nervous that
she forgot the correct way of doffing PPE. AMDSC stated she should have removed her gloves and then gown to prevent contaminating herself and spread infection to other staff and residents.
