- Failure to Keep Every Resident Free from Physical Restraints Unless Need for Medical Treatment – citation #F221 date August 3, 2017
- Failure to Ensure the Nursing Home Area Remained Free of Accident Hazards and Risks and Provides Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents – citation #F323 date October 26, 2017
The state investigators determined the nursing home "utilized quarter length side rails, positioned in the middle section on each side of the bed, without considering them to be a restraint and without a medical symptom.” The deficient practice involved eight residents, “reviewed for physical restraints .”
One incident involved a significantly cognitively impaired resident who “was dependent on two or more staff with bed mobility and transfers.” A review of this resident’s Medical Record revealed that “there had been no side rail risk assessments completed. Additionally, there is no mention of the use of side rails on the resident’s Plan of Care.”
A Nurse stated during an interview, that “all residents in the facility have quarter length side rails.” Another nurse said that “this resident had bilateral quarter length side rails and was not capable of getting out of bed on her own.”
The Director of Nursing stated that “all residents in the facility had quarter length side rails [and revealed that] the facility had not utilized side rail risk assessments, since all residents had the same quarter length side rails.”
The “facility failed to prevent injury for [one resident], who was at risk for injury related to a history of falls.” The resident’s last fall required hospitalization.
A Nursing Note, dated October 20, 2017, indicated that the resident “had a fall in the sunroom and experienced a skin tear to the left arm.” Another Nursing Note indicated that the resident “had gotten up out of his wheelchair and was attempting to ambulate without the assistance of the nurse’s station. A nurse who witnessed the fall was unsuccessful at intervening and preventing the resident from falling.” The resident “suffered a cut to the forehead and was sent, via ambulance, to the emergency room at the local hospital.”
