Resident #16 with a history of falls to the side of the bed was observed without a floor mat. Additionally, a hydroculator in the therapy department was observed unsecured. The findings included: The facility admitted Resident #16 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Record review on 5/20/15 of the nurse's notes revealed Resident #16 had fallen on floor on right side on 4/27/15 at 5:45 PM and 4/29/15 at 9:00 PM. Review of the resident's care plan revealed on 4/29/15 the care plan had been updated to include low bed to mat. Observations of the resident on 5/19/15 at 10:16 AM, 5/19/15 at 11:08 AM, 5/19/15 at 2:00 PM, and 5/21/15 at 5:27 PM revealed the resident was lying in a low bed without a mat beside the bed. During an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse #1 and #4 on 5/21/15 at approximately 5:30 PM, both stated they did not know if the resident should have a mat by the bed and could not find an order for [REDACTED]. During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant on 5/21/15 at 6:24 PM, he/she was unsure if the resident had a floor mat but believed the resident had landing strips. On 5/21/15 at 5:48 PM, after review of the resident's care plan, the Care Plan Coordinator(CPC) stated the resident should have a mat to the right side of the bed. Upon observation of the resident on 5/21/15 at approximately 5:50 PM, the CPC confirmed the mat was not by the bed as the care plan directed. Observation on 05/18/15 from 4:20 PM until 6:34 PM revealed that a hydroculator was turned on in a gym area and the outside surface was very hot to touch. A hinged lock was on the side of the hydroculator, but it was not locked. At 6:34 PM, the facility Director of Nursing (DON) entered and locked the unit after being notified by the survey team that it was on and unlocked. There were no residents observed in the area of the hydroculator during the time it was unlocked and it was not accessible from the area of the facility housing residents with known issues with wandering. The unit was accessible from the rehabilitation unit in the facility. Review of the facility policy for the hydroculator revealed that the water temperature inside the unit was maintained between 160 and 175 degrees Fahrenheit. In an interview on 05/18/15 at 6:34 PM, the DON confirmed that the hydroculator should have been locked to prevent any chance of accident. 2018-12-01
