6322	FAYETTE NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER	515153	100 HRESAN BOULEVARD	FAYETTEVILLE	WV	25840	2014-07-23	252	E	0	1	5EN111	Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the environment where residents live was comfortable and homelike. The area designated as a resident sitting area was in the corner area of the dining room. It contained rocking chairs, a sofa, and a television. Empty wheelchairs and geri-chairs were observed stored in front of the furniture preventing access to residents or visitors who desired to sit in these chairs. The residents who were seated in their wheelchairs were sitting in an area where the empty wheelchairs were stored. This did not create a pleasant homelike sitting area. This practice had the potential to affect more than an isolated number of residents. Facility Census: 55. Findings include: a) During an observation on 07/15/14 at 8:00 a.m., the area in the corner of the dining room was observed. This area had carpet, a television, a couch, and several rocking chairs. It was designated as a sitting area where residents could sit and/or watch television. Eight (8) empty wheelchairs were observed stored in the area, blocking access to the rocking chairs and the sofa. On 07/16/14 at 4:00 p.m., nine (9) empty wheelchairs and four (4) empty geri-chairs were observed stored in the dining room. Six (6) of the empty chairs were in the television area in front of the rocking chairs. This prevented access to the area by any resident who desired to sit in the rocking chairs or on the couch. During a confidential employee interview, a nursing assistant was questioned about the chairs being stored in the resident sitting area in the corner of the dining room. The nursing assistant replied, That is where they told us we have to put them. The dining area was observed on various days and times during the survey from 07/15/14 to 07/23/14. There were always several wheelchairs and geri-chairs stored in the resident sitting area. A tour was conducted with the Environmental Service Supervisor (Employee #23) and the facility administrator (Employee #78) on 07/23/14 at 12:00 p.m. They were made aware of the observations, throughout the survey, of the chairs stored daily in the residents' sitting area. They agreed this was not a homelike environment.	2018-04-01
