In collaboration with The Seattle Times, Big Local News is providing full-text nursing home deficiencies from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). These files contain the full narrative details of each nursing home deficiency cited regulators. The files include deficiencies from Standard Surveys (routine inspections) and from Complaint Surveys. Complete data begins January 2011 (although some earlier inspections do show up). Individual states are provides as CSV files. A very large (4.5GB) national file is also provided as a zipped archive. New data will be updated on a monthly basis. For additional documentation, please see the README.

29 BINGHAM MEMORIAL SKILLED NURSING & REHABILITATION 135007 98 POPLAR STREET BLACKFOOT ID 83221 2016-06-17 221 E 0 1 J25411 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, and staff and resident interviews, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents were not physically restrained. This was true for 3 of 10 sampled residents reviewed for side rails (#2, #3, and #10). This resulted in the use of half to full side rails for residents who did not have the ability to lower the side rails and had no identified medical symptoms that required restraint. Findings include: 1. Resident #10's MDS assessment, dated 4/11/16, documented he was moderately cognitively impaired and required total assistance with mobility and cares. The MDS documented Resident #10 did not have any physical or mechanical device, or equipment, that could easily be removed. On 6/16/16 at 4:00 pm, Resident #10 was observed lying in bed. The bed was against the wall to his right side, with 4 side rails up. Resident #10's left side was affected by a previous [MEDICAL CONDITION]. Resident #10 stated he felt trapped. Resident #10 did have consents for use of side rails for use related to bed mobility, bed control and assistance with transfers, however, he did not have the ability to use the side rails for positioning and bed control. 2. Resident #3's MDS assessment, dated 6/13/16, documented she was severely cognitively impaired, and required total assistance for mobility and cares. The MDS assessment documented Resident #3 did not have any physical or mechanical device, or equipment, that could easily be removed. On 6/16/16 at 4:00 pm, Resident #3 was observed in bed with bilateral lower side rails. Resident #3 was observed not to be able to lower her side rails. Resident #3 did have consents for use of side rails for use for assistance with repositioning in bed, however, she did not have the ability to use the side rails for positioning and bed control. 3. Resident #2's MDS assessment, dated 4/22/16, documented she was severely cognitively impaired, and required total assistance with mobility and all cares. The MDS assessment documented Resident #2 did not have a physical or mechanical device, or equipment, that could easily be removed. On 6/16/16 at 4:00 pm, Resident #2 was observed in bed with bilateral, full upper and lower side rails. Resident #2 was observed to not be able to lower her side rails. Resident #2 did have consents for use of side rails for use related to proper positioning and bed control, however, she lacked the ability to use the side rails for positioning or bed control. On 6/16/16 at 6:20 pm, the DNS stated the facility had old beds that had the bed controls on the side rails. The DNS agreed the residents did not have the ability to remove their side rails or use the bed controls. 2020-09-01
