**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one (1) of two (2) sampled residents (Resident 1)
who was assessed as a high risk for falls and with diagnoses of dementia (a progressive state of decline in
mental abilities), cerebral infarction (damage to tissues in the brain due to a loss of oxygen to the area),
lack of coordination and repeated falls was free from falls and injury. On 1/18/2025, the Director of Activities

around 11:13 AM. Resident 1 sustained redness on the right side of resident's forehead. On 1/24/2025 (6
days after the fall), Resident 1 complained of pain on the resident's right ribs (slender curved bones
protecting the lungs). Resident 1 underwent a Xray (a quick, painless test that captures images of the
inside of the body) on 1/25/2025 and the result showed that Resident 1 had a fracture (a break in a bone)
on the resident's eighth (8th) and ninth (9th) ribs.
