Missing Licensed Resident Beds on Two Care Units
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the availability of a functioning bed for all current licensed and certified resident beds on two of three resident care units. During an environmental tour, surveyors observed that multiple resident rooms, which were licensed as double or triple occupancy, were missing beds for specific bed spaces (such as 104B, 106B, 113B, 116B, and 217B). These beds were not present in the rooms nor stored elsewhere in the facility, making them unavailable for immediate use. The facility is required to provide bedrooms that are appropriately furnished with a bed, mattress, and related equipment for each licensed bed in accordance with its license and certification. The absence of these beds demonstrated that the facility did not maintain the full complement of licensed and certified beds, as required. The findings were reviewed and confirmed with the Nursing Home Administrator.
