During a staff interview with Employee 1 on November 13, 2024, at 9:41 AM, Employee 1 revealed that this was a temporary chair for Resident 6 and was only to be used for a couple days because Resident 6's normal chair needed some repairs. Employee 1 further indicated that it had been over a week since Resident 6 had been using this temporary chair. Employee 1 said they were told not to use leg rests on the chair because they would be a safety risk if Resident 6 were to slide down in the chair onto the leg rests, the chair could flip over. Employee 1 also said that one day last week they had used a chair to prop Resident 6's legs up on to keep them from hanging down. During a staff interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Director of Nursing (DON) on November 13, 2024, at 1:40 PM, the DON confirmed that Resident 6's normal chair was needing repaired as the chair back would not adjust.

Employee 2 pressed the display screen on the monitor, which indicated a green checkmark and a date of 10/1/2024. Employee 2 said the checkmark would indicate that a check was successfully completed, and the date indicated when the pacemaker check was last completed. A follow-up review of Resident 63's clinical record on November 13, 2024, at 1:15 PM, revealed a nurse note dated November 13, 2024, at 12:04 PM, that indicated that facility staff had spoken with Resident 63's daughter, and she confirmed that Resident 63 had a pacemaker. Resident 63's daughter indicated that she had brought the monitor in but not when she first moved in. The note indicated that the daughter was not sure if she had spoken to a nurse about the pacemaker monitor, but that she checks it when she visits to make sure that it is plugged in and working. The note also indicated that the daughter said that she receives the reports from the automatic checks that are completed and confirmed that she had not brought any of these reports in and given them to the nurse. The note indicated that the nurse had asked the daughter to bring in these reports and the daughter agreed to do so when she was able. During a staff interview with the NHA and DON on November 13, 2024, at 1:52 PM, the DON confirmed that the facility was not aware that the Resident had a pacemaker until today.
