Factors Beyond the Control of the Individual

5310.4 - Factors Beyond the Control of the Individual (Rev. 18, Issued: 03-17-06; Effective/Implementation Dates: 03-17-06) The State must not make a finding that an individual neglected a resident if the individual demonstrates that such neglect was caused by factors beyond the control of the individual. EXAMPLE: A nurse aide could not be found negligent for not providing clean bed and bath linens to a resident if the facility had no clean bed and bath linens available. However, the facility is responsible for providing clean bed and bath linens to residents.
