233	ELKINS REGIONAL CONVALESCENT CENTER	515025	1175 BEVERLY PIKE	ELKINS	WV	26241	2017-04-20	463	E	0	1	GGWL11	Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to provide a means of communication allowing residents to call for staff assistance. Three (3) separate bathrooms were not equipped with a mechanism to allow residents to call for assistance. These bathrooms were located in the front lobby, on the rehabilitation hall and near the chapel. This practice had the potential to affect more than an isolated number of residents. Facility census: 104. Findings include: a) On 04/18/17 at 3:00 p.m., an observation was made of the bathrooms in the front lobby. These bathrooms were located near the sitting room, a gift shop, cafe and gathering room for residents. Observations revealed both male and female bathrooms were not equipped with a means of communication which would allow residents to call for staff assistance. There was no call system in the bathrooms. On 04/19/17 at 8:02 a.m., observations of the bathrooms near the chapel area also revealed these bathrooms did not have a call system for residents to use if they were in the bathroom and needed help. These bathrooms were labeled as Staff Only however, they were not locked and were located next to the facility's chapel which was for residents. A third observation, on 04/19/17 at 8:15 a.m., of a bathroom on the [NAME]lands[NAME]Rehabilitation side of the building also revealed a bathroom that did not have a call system for residents to use if they were in the bathroom and needed assistance. This bathroom was located in a hallway between the therapy gym and the hallway which housed resident rooms. On 04/19/17 at 11:30 a.m., during an interview with the administrator, she agreed the three (3) bathrooms mentioned above were not locked, and residents could have access to them. She also agreed the three (3) bathrooms did not have call systems that would allow residents to call for help if they were in the bathroom and needed assistance. The administrator said she would be able to equip these bathrooms with a call system but this would take some time. She said in order to ensure the resident's safety before the call systems were installed, she would lock the bathrooms, and a key would have to be requested in order to use the bathroom. She also mentioned putting a key pad locking system on the bathrooms near the chapel area.	2020-09-01
