Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to secure an oxygen cylinder to prevent tipping and falling over for 1 (R #13) of 2 (R #13 and R #14) residents. If the oxygen container fell over, then
the valve could break on the canister and cause the residual oxygen to leak or cause the oxygen cylinder to self-propel across the facility. The findings are: A. Record review of the facility's oxygen safety policy, last revised 2025, indicated oxygen cylinders will be properly chained or supported in racks or other fastenings (sturdy portable carts, approved stands) to secure all cylinders from falling, whether connected, unconnected, full or empty. B. On 08/26/25 at 10:35 am, an observation revealed R #13's oxygen tank sat unsecured next to her recliner. R #13 was not using the oxygen.? C. On 08/26/25 at 10:35 am, during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the portable oxygen container should not be in R #13's room. She stated oxygen cylinders should not be stored unsecured, because it could cause an accident.?
