The abbreviated survey was conducted based on complaint #NY00375947 to investigate concerns related to the use of bed rails and side rail padding for residents.
Complaint Details
Complaint #NY00375947 triggered the abbreviated survey due to concerns about bed rail use and side rail padding. The complaint was substantiated with findings of improper assessment, consent, and use of unsafe padding materials.
Findings
The facility failed to assess residents for risk of entrapment from bed rails prior to installation and did not ensure bed rails were safe. Blankets and pillows were used in place of proper side rail pads for four residents, increasing the risk of entrapment, suffocation, or injury. The Quality Assurance Performance Improvement committee did not address these issues adequately.
