Summary
The facility failed to maintain bed remote controls in a safe operating condition for one of five resident beds reviewed. During an interview, an employee confirmed awareness of an issue with a bed remote that had exposed electrical wiring, specifically referencing a bed in room [ROOM NUMBER]B. Subsequent observation by the surveyor revealed electrical tape on the bed control remote for bed 123B. The Maintenance Director later verified the presence of electrical tape on the remote, and this finding was acknowledged by the Administrator during the survey exit. No information was provided regarding the medical history or condition of the resident occupying the affected bed at the time of the deficiency.
