Hi Timma,
What I do in this situation is to address it in
the ADLs/Mobility care plan. I will include a statement with the problem
statement that resident prefers to sleep in recliner and has requested bed to
be removed. Then, I would include with the goals that resident remain free
from any complications associated with use of recliner rather than a bed.
Approaches would include observing for any sleep disturbance, other
complications or issues which could be related to the chair vs
bed.

Care Planning is not my strong suit...when a
resident has a particular like how do you 'care plan' it....would this be a
problem? what would be a reasonable goal?

In MD you can also allow the resident to sleep in the
recliner as described. We had a resident who slept in a recliner for
years. We documented on admission, as well as careplanned that
this was her wish. We never got cited by
surveyers.

Re: recliner versus bed
In the maryland code of regulations
10.07.02.28 D
1) each patient shall be provided with his own bed
which shall be at least 36 inches wide, be substantially constructed and
in good repair. Rollaway type beds, cots or folding beds may not be
used.
2) each bed shall be provided with satisfactory type springs
in good repair, and a clean comfortable mattress, standard size for the
bed.
I think the second item might be a problem if your state
has similar
regulations
