The nursing home “failed to ensure [one resident’s] right and self-determination regarding his/her desire to have cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was honored.” The staff did not initiate CPR according to the resident’s wishes, and the resident expired.”
According to state surveyors, “the facility failed to ensure safe and appropriate side rails for one resident reviewed for accidents. The facility further failed to ensure the residents’ environment remained free of accident hazards by properly storing hazardous chemicals.”
The event involved a severely, cognitively impaired resident whose Care Plan documented the requirement of assistance with activities of daily living leading to stiff joints and a slower pace. The resident’s Care Plan “lacked documentation of bed rails.”

An administrative nursing staff member verified that “there was an order” that “was overlooked, which call for rails on both sides of the resident’s mattress.” Also, “the facility failed to provide safe distances between the mattress and the bed rail.”
