F600 states, “The resident has the right to be free from abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident property, and exploitation as defined in this subpart. This includes but is not limited to freedom from corporal punishment, involuntary seclusion and any physical or chemical restraint not required to treat the resident’s medical symptoms.” The newly revised CMS Surveyor Guidance modified language about sexual activity; clarified what constitutes “neglect;” clarified bed rail usage; and addresses, at length, examples of non-compliance, as well as reporting concerns/examples. Cat will address all of these revisions and provide recommendations/guidance as to operational practice in facilities.
