3290 MAPLES NURSING HOME 515186 1600 BLAND STREET BLUEFIELD WV 24701 2018-04-05 558 E 0 1 NWDF11 Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to provide services with reasonable accommodations for residents. A bathroom in the hallway near the activity room was available for resident use without a safety call light in working condition. This practice had the potential to affect more than a limited number of residents. Facility census: 46. Findings included: a) Observations on 04/04/18 at 10:50 AM, noted a resident using the bathroom near the activity room on the first floor. Observation of this bathroom found no pull string attached to the alarm which would alert staff to provide care if needed. At 3:33 PM on 04/04/18 Maintenance Staff #31 explained the bathroom was for staff and visitors, but was told not to disallow residents to use the bathroom. On 04/04/18 at 3:35 PM, the maintenance supervisor verbalized the residents did use that bathroom. The switch in which a pull string could be attached was tested by the maintenance supervisor and would not work. The bathroom door knob was replaced with a key entry to prevent residents from using the bathroom. 2020-09-01
