Two (2) residents who were not independent were observed with call bells placed in a fashion making it difficult, unsafe, if not impossible for them to use. This failed practice affected two (2) of twenty (20) residents reviewed. Resident identifiers: #1 and #12. Facility census: 22. Findings include: a) Resident #1 A record review revealed Resident #1 was admitted [DATE]. His [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. According to his most recent minimum data set (MDS) quarterly assessment with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 09/13/17, he was totally dependent on staff and required assistance of one (1) to two (2) staff with all of his activities of daily living (ADL's). His brief interview of mental status (BIMS) score on his 09/13/17 quarterly MDS was 10. This means he had moderate cognitive impairment. A resident observation and interview was conducted with Resident #1 on 10/30/17 at 1:50 p.m. He had a special call bell clipped to his pillow that he was meant to press with his head in order to call for staff. When asked if he was able to use his call bell, Resident #1 said I have a hard time getting to it. He then demonstrated that he could not reach the bell, as it was clipped too far for him to reach with his head. Licensed practical nurse (LPN) #1 was summoned to the room. She re-adjusted the call bell and Resident #1 demonstrated he could use it. She had no comment about the bell being out of reach. b) Resident #12 A record review for Resident #12 revealed she was admitted on [DATE]. She had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. She was ninety-eight (98) years old. Her most recent quarterly MDS with an ARD of 09/06/17 identified her as having a BIMS score of fifteen (15), meaning she was cognitively intact. Her MDS also stated she required assistance of staff for dressing and personal hygiene and she required a walker for ambulation. On 10/30/17 at 2:30 p.m. Resident #12 was observed ambulating in her room with her walker. Her call bell was observed under a pair of slippers beneath her bed. Nurse aide #7 was asked to come into the room at 2:35 p.m. She assisted the resident by clipping the call bell to the edge of her bed. When asked where the call bell is usually kept, the nurse aide did not respond. Resident #12 then stated, It's usually kept on the bed. The DON was made aware of both of these concerns on 10/31/17 at 9:00 a.m. She verbalized understanding. 2020-09-01
