Also, additional information received that when resident fell (date unknown) R1 contacted the family member who lives close to the facility for help/assistance back into bed. To investigate this allegation, records reviewed revealed that R1 had two falls one on 2/11/2025 and another on 3/23/2025 since admission to the facility memory care on 2/20/2024. Service care plans dated 10/07/2024; 11/24/2024 and 3/26/2025 documented that R1’s level of assistance in mobility/ambulation was minimal to moderate; just prompting and cueing; not required hands on.

Regarding fall incident on 2/11/2025 it was documented that R1 sustained a fall in resident bathroom; R1 fell in the bathroom; R1 had a cell phone which R1 used to call family. The family contacted the facility at which time staff went to assist R1. R1 was found on the floor in R1’s bathroom (incident time documented 8:30pm). The second fall was on 3/23/2025; R1 was out with family; upon returning to the facility R1 sustained a fall transferring out of the family car. Staff were alerted and attended to R1 accordingly. In both fall incidents 911 was contacted and R1 was transferred to the hospital. Staff reported that all residents in memory care are out during the day in the common areas and constantly monitored by staff. Staff stated that when residents are in their room at night, they are checked on at minimum every 2hrs. Based on the above information gathered although the allegations may be valid, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation or that a violation occurred; therefore, the allegation “Staff left resident on floor for an extended period of time” is deemed unsubstantiated at this time.

RN verified that an LVN from the home health agency evaluated R1 on 5/9/2025, 5/14/202 and on 5/20/2025 and no wound was observed. RN confirmed that they evaluated R1 on 6/2/2025 and no wound was observed to stage. (Continue to 9099c) Based on the above information gathered although the allegations may be valid, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation or that a violation occurred; therefore, the allegation “Resident sustained a pressure injury while in care” is deemed unsubstantiated at this time.
