Summary
The facility failed to maintain electrical equipment in safe operating condition for one resident. Specifically, a bed remote with exposed wires was observed in the room of a resident who had been admitted with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, cerebrovascular disease, aphasia, dysphagia, repeated falls, and transient ischemic attack.
