Summary
Facility staff failed to ensure that a resident's bed adequately met the resident's needs. During a complaint survey, it was observed that the resident, who has quadriplegia, a gastrostomy tube, and contractures of both ankles, had both feet hanging over the bottom of the bed and foot board. The resident also suffers from bilateral ankle foot drop and wears foot drop prevention boots daily, which further extend the length of the legs. The resident was able to communicate to the DON that the bed was too small. These findings were based on complaint, observation, review of clinical records, and resident interview.
