condition the RP had to be notified.
During a telephone interview on 3/6/25 at 11:09 a.m. with FM 2, FM 2 stated she was Resident 2 ' s RP
due to his impaired cognition. FM 2 stated she was not notified of Resident 2 ' s room change or fall. FM 2
stated she did not find out Resident 2 had changed rooms until another family member came to see the

the restroom. FM 2 stated Resident 2 is paralyzed on his left side and when sitting on the toilet, the only
grab bars within reach were to the left. FM 2 stated a family member asked a nurse to move Resident 2 into
a room with grab bars on the right side so he could safely get off the toilet and was told they could not
accommodate him. FM 2 stated she was also not notified he had a fall on 2/26/25 and was upset because it
was not his first fall since admission.

in the bathroom would not be within reach. Resident 2 stated in his previous room he was able to use his
right arm to get on and off the toilet.
During an interview on 3/6/25 with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated it was difficult to get Resident 2 off the toilet
because he was unable to use the grab bar because his left side was paralyzed.

roommate assignments may change if the facility deems it necessary . Prior to changing a room or
roommate assignment all parties involved in the change/assignment . are given at least advance notice of
such change . The SSD stated the P&P indicated Resident 2 ' s RP should have been notified prior to the
room change. The SSA reviewed Resident 2 ' s electronic medical record and was unable to locate any
documentation of his room change except the census had reflected a move on 2/23/25. The SSD stated
there should have been documentation including RP notification before his room was changed. The SSD
stated the P&P was not followed. The SSD stated she spoke to Resident 2 and FM 2 about FM 2 becoming
his RP on 2/21/25 and they were both in agreement.

occasions. Resident 2 hit his head during a fall on 2/20/25 at 6:15 a.m. causing a skin tear to his left
eyebrow and fell again on 2/20/25 at 10:35 p.m. hitting his head in the same area causing further trauma to
the left eyebrow resulting in a laceration (cut or tear in the skin caused by blunt force). Resident 2 required
transportation to the emergency room for sutures (threads used to close wounds) to repair the wound.
This failure resulted in Resident 2's fall not investigated timely within the required time frame and had the
potential to result in Resident 2's safety needs not met.

of Mental status assessment (BIMS - assessment of cognitive status for memory and judgement) scored 07
of 15 (a score of 13-15 indicates cognitively intact, 08-12 indicates moderately impaired, and 00-07
indicates severe impairment). The BIMS assessment indicated Resident 2 had a severe cognitive
impairment.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a comprehensive, person-centered
care plan was developed and implemented to meet the identified needs for two of six sampled residents
(Residents 1 and 2) when:
1. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with a history of falls, assessed as being a fall risk and a known
behavior of not calling staff for assistance and the facility did not develop and implement effective care plan
interventions including assistance and supervision to prevent falls.
This failure resulted in Resident 1 ' s unwitnessed fall on 1/30/25, sustaining an intertrochanteric fracture (a
type of hip fracture [broken bone] where the femur [upper thigh bone] meets the pelvis), pain, decreased
mobility and required transportation to the emergency room and admission to the acute care hospital (ACH)
for seven days. (cross reference F689)
2. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility with left sided paralysis, a history of falls and assessed as a fall
risk with a behavior of sitting at the edge of the bed unsupervised and did not develop and implement
effective care plan interventions to prevent falls.
This failure resulted in Resident 2 falling four times, on 2/15/25, 2/20/25 at 6:15 a.m. and 2/20/25 at 10:35
p.m., and on 2/26/25. Resident 2 sustained a laceration above his left eyebrow during the fall on 2/20/25 at
10:35 p.m. which required transportation to the emergency room for sutures. (cross reference F689)
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/12/25 at 9:47 a.m. with Resident 1, Resident 1 was
lying in bed, the bed was in the lowest position. Resident 1 had involuntary tremors of her arms and legs.
Resident 1 stated she was in pain and pointed to her right hip. Resident 1 stated she had fallen in the
bathroom and became tearful and visually upset. Resident 1 stated I just fell [on 1/30/25].
During a review of Resident 1 ' s ACH document titled Case Management Discharge Summary/Orders
Report, dated 2/7/25, the note indicated, . admission date: 1/31/2025 . discharge date : [DATE] . Slip and fall
coming out of bathroom landing on her right hip . admission Diagnoses: Intertrochanteric fracture .
Procedures . Open Reduction Internal Fixation [surgical procedure that treats intertrochanteric hip
fractures] Femur (Right) .
During a review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record, undated, the admission record indicated, Resident 1
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included wedge compression fracture of T5-T6
vertebra (a break in the bones in your back that stack up to form your spine part of the vertebra [bones that
make up the backbone] collapses), COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-chronic lung disease
causing difficulty in breathing), Chronic respiratory failure (medical condition where the blood has low
oxygen [colorless odorless gas essential to life] levels), Parkinsonism (progressive disease of the nervous
system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements), abnormalities of gait
(persons manner of walking) and mobility, history of falling and muscle weakness.

plan upon admission. MDSC 2 located a fall care plan dated 2/15/25 and stated the interventions indicated
to assess for pain and neuro checks, monitor for delayed trauma and modification of bed mobility program.
MDSC 2 stated she was unsure what the bed mobility program was but thought it possibly had to do with
the CNA charting. MDSC 2 reviewed the CNA ' s tasks and stated the bed mobility program was not
documented for Resident 2. MDSC 2 stated the care plan interventions were not effective because
Resident 2 fell twice on 2/20/25. Resident 2 ' s SBARs for 2/20/25 were reviewed, MDSC 2 stated both falls
happened while Resident 2 sat on the edge of his bed. Resident 2 ' s care plan dated 2/20/25 indicated, .

unsteadiness while sitting on the side of the bed and has history of falling asleep causing him the inability
to maintain stability . Redirect [Resident 2] while addressing any concerns he may have when he is falling
asleep on the side of the bed . Social services to visit . MDSC 2 stated Resident 2 ' s reason for sitting at
the edge of the bed and falling asleep while sitting there needed to be addressed in the care plan
interventions. MDSC 2 stated the cause of why he needed to sit up suddenly and cannot wait for staff
needed to be addressed. The IDT needed to find the root cause of him sitting at the edge of the bed
because that was why he would fall. MDSC 2 stated she was not sure of what else would stop Resident 2 '
s falls besides finding the cause and addressing it. MDSC 2 stated the care plans do not address the
amount of supervision or frequency of checks on him and should be specified. MDSC 2 stated the root
cause of Resident 2 ' s falls needed to be figured out, so effective interventions could be put into place to
prevent falls.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/5/25 at 10:00 a.m. with Resident 2, Resident 2 sat in
a w/c at his bedside. Resident 2 stated he would get very restless and uncomfortable, so he had to
frequently sit up to the edge of the bed when he has those incidents. Resident 2 stated he thought he was
falling because he was tired and thought he would start to fall asleep causing him to fall forward and was
unable to use his left arm to catch himself. Resident 2 stated he would use the call light to ask for help
getting to the side of the bed, but the staff were slow to respond so he would get to the edge of his bed
alone.

Coordinator (MDSC) 2, Resident 3 ' s photo of Low Air Loss (LAL) Mattress, dated 3/4/25, and Resident 3 '
s Monthly Weights, undated were reviewed. MDSC 2 stated the photo showed Resident LAL mattress was
set at 320 lbs (pounds- unit of measurement). MDSC 2 stated Resident weight on 3/3/25 was 72 lbs. MDSC
2 stated the LAL mattress control clearly states the setting should be according to Resident ' s weight and it
was not. MDSC 2 stated Resident 2 could potentially develop pressure ulcer or re-open healed wounds
because of incorrect setting. MDSC 2 stated Resident 2 could potentially be uncomfortable lying in a firm
LAL mattress. MDSC 2 stated Resident 2 ' s fall on 2/28/25 was probably cause by the LAL mattress
incorrect setting.
During an interview on 3/7/25 at 4:25 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated her
expectation was for the licensed nurses to follow the manufacturer ' s recommendation for use of LAL
mattress. The DON stated Resident 3 ' s recent fall could be attributed to the incorrect LAL mattress setting.
The DON stated Resident 3 ' s incorrect LAL mattress setting was not effective in reducing pressure ulcer
and could be uncomfortable.

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents received adequate
supervision and assistance to prevent falls for three of six sampled residents (Residents 1, 2 and 6) when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Resident 1 was assessed as being a fall risk, had poor safety awareness and needed to be supervised
while ambulating (walking) and the facility did not implement effective interventions to prevent falls,
including adequate supervision, consistent with the resident ' s needs, goals and care.
This failure resulted in Resident 1 ' s unwitnessed fall on 1/30/25, sustaining a right intertrochanteric
fracture (a type of hip fracture [broken bone] where the femur [upper thigh bone] meets the pelvis [bony
structure near the base of the spine]), pain, decreased mobility and required transportation to the
emergency room and admission to the acute care hospital (ACH) for seven days.
2. Resident 2 had left sided paralysis (loss of movement), a history of falls, poor safety awareness and a
known behavior of sitting at the edge of his bed unsupervised and the facility did not implement effective
interventions including adequate supervision to meet the resident ' s needs.
This failure resulted in Resident 2 ' s four unwitnessed falls: one on 2/15/25, two on 2/20/25 and one on
2/26/25. Resident 1 hit his head during a fall on 2/20/25 at 6:15 a.m. causing a skin tear to his left eyebrow
and fell again on 2/20/25 at 9:35 p.m. hitting his head in the same area causing further trauma to the left
eyebrow resulting in a laceration (cut or tear in the skin caused by blunt force). Resident 2 required
transportation to the emergency room for sutures (threads used to close wounds) to repair the wound.
3. Resident 6 had an assessed need for supervision during transfers, poor safety awareness and a known
behavior of self-transferring between her wheelchair and an armchair in the hallway and was left sitting
unsupervised in an armchair in the hallway.
This failure resulted in Resident 6 ' s unwitnessed fall on 3/5/25, sustaining an intertrochanteric fracture of
the right hip, an acute fracture of the right radius (one of two long bones in the forearm, located on the
thumb side) and a laceration to her left lower lip. Resident 6 was admitted to the ACH from 3/5/25 until
3/12/25 where she had an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF-surgical procedure to repair broken
bones) of the right hip on 3/7/25 and required an arm splint on her right arm.
Because of the serious actual harm to Residents 1, 2 and 6 and potential serious harm to Residents 3, 4
and 5 and the serious potential harm to all residents related to the facility's inability to implement an
effective program to prevent falls, an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ-a situation in which non-compliance with one
or more regulatory requirements has caused or is likely to cause serious injury, harm, impairment, or death
to a resident) situation was identified at a scope and severity of K (pattern of non-compliance when multiple
residents are affected) and an IJ was called on 3/5/25, at 3:49 p.m., under Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) 483.25 (F689) with the facility's Administrator (ADM), Administrator Consultant (ADMC) Director of
Nursing (DON), and Director of Nursing Consultant (DONC). The CMS IJ Template was shared with the
facility on 3/5/25 at 3:49 p.m. The facility submitted a Plan of Removal (POR) version 1 on 3/6/25 at 10:12
a.m. The POR version 1 was not acceptable. The facility submitted a POR version 2 on 3/6/25, at 3:59 p.m.
The IJ POR included: 1) facility added 1:1

Resident 2 with stability and balance while sitting on side of the bed to minimize risk for falling. 3) Staff will
assist Resident 1 with individual toileting plan including upon waking, before and after meals, before bed
and every two hours as needed. 4) Resident 6 will be placed on a 1:1 while awake after she returns to the
facility, assist with safe transfers, cueing and provide direct care for impulsive attempts to rise or transfer. 5)
Facility identified resident falls for 2025, and IDT reviewed Root Cause (RC) Analysis of accident hazards,
supervision and assistive devices to prevent avoidable accidents and have updated care plans with
person-centered interventions which will be reviewed weekly by the IDT. 6) Facility increased CNA staffing
on stations 5 & 6 during the evening and night shifts as identified during RC analysis for falls. 7) The facility
assigns monitor staff daily including each unit supervisor for every 15-minute safety checks on identified
residents with falls. 8) The activity department added additional snack and crafts cart and staff support
during evening hours for identified high fall risk residents with actual falls. 9) Director of Staff Development
(DSD) initiated in-service for direct care staff on each shift with specific focus on resident interventions to
reduce falls and injuries from falls. The IJ Plan of Removal Version 2 was accepted on 3/7/25 at 9:15 a.m.
While onsite, the surveyors validated the POR implementation action items through observations, interview
and record reviews and confirmed that all POR action interventions to address the IJ situation were fully
implemented. The IJ was removed on 3/7/25 at 4:03 p.m., with the ADM, ADMC, DON and Director of Staff
Development (DSD).
After removal of the IJ, the facility remained in substantial non-compliance.

successfully) skills checked within the last year and there were 42 falls between 1/1/25 and 2/12/25.
This failure resulted in one of three sampled residents (Resident 1 ' s) unwitnessed fall on 1/30/25,
sustaining an intertrochanteric fracture (a type of hip fracture [broken bone] where the femur [upper thigh
bone] meets the pelvis), pain, decreased mobility and required transportation to the emergency room and
admission to the acute care hospital (ACH) for seven days and placed other residents at risk for falls with
significant injury. (cross reference F689)
