F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to notify the Responsible Party (RP) for one of six sampled resident ' s (Resident 2) when Resident 2 ' s room was changed on 2/23/25 and he fell on 2/26/25. This failure violated Resident 2 ' s rights when his RP was not informed of a change in care. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/6/25 at 10:50 a.m. with Resident 2, Resident 2 sat up in his wheelchair, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 was at bedside. CNA 1 stated she was assigned to provide Resident 2 with one-on-one supervision while the assigned CNA was at lunch. Family Member (FM) 3 walked into Resident 2 ' s room and asked Resident 2 why there was a CNA sitting with him. Resident 2 informed FM 3 he had multiple falls since his admission to the facility. FM 3 was upset and asked, why are they letting him fall? FM 3 stated he had not been notified Resident 2 had fallen, but FM 2 was his RP, and they may have notified her. Resident 2 stated FM 2 was his RP, and he was not sure if the facility had notified her about his falls. During a review of Resident 2 ' s admission Record (AR), undated, the AR indicated, Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included fracture of left acetabulum (break in the hip socket), fracture of sacrum (bone located at the base of the spine), paraplegia (loss of movement and/or sensation, to some degree), muscle weakness, abnormalities of gait (manner of walking) and mobility (ability to move freely) and repeated falls. During a review of Resident 2 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool used to identify resident cognitive and physical function) assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 2 ' s Brief Interview 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. During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/6/25 at 10:50 a.m. with Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC) 2, Resident 2 ' s AR, undated, was reviewed. MDSC 2 stated Resident 2 ' s sister (FM 2) was his RP. During a review of Resident 2 ' s Social Service Note, dated 2/21/25 at 12:13 p.m., the note indicated, . Talked with Resident ' s sister [name] regarding Resident ' s cognition, and she say that she will be happy to become the Resident ' s RP .

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 resident and he was in a different room. FM 2 stated she was upset because the facility did not provide a reason for the room change and moved Resident 2 into a room where he cannot safely use the grab bars in 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.

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. During an interview on 3/6/25 at 3:02 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated she was new to the facility and was not aware of the facility ' s process for room change and RP notification.

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. Findings: During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (AR - a summary of information regarding a patient which includes patient identification, past medical history, insurance status, care providers, family contact information and other pertinent information), dated 3/3/25, the AR indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility from the acute care hospital on 2/2/25, with diagnoses that included Fracture of Left Acetabulum (break in the hip socket), Fracture of Sacrum (bone located at the base of the spine), Paraplegia (loss of movement and/or sensation, to some degree), Muscle Weakness, Abnormalities of Gait (manner of walking) and Mobility (ability to move freely) and Repeated Falls. During a review of Resident 2 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool used to identify resident cognitive and physical function) assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 2 ' s Brief Interview 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).

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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.

Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to result in Resident 3 to develop pressure ulcer (injury to the skin and underlying tissues by prolonged pressure on the skin) and placed Resident 3 at an increased risk for falls and discomfort. Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 3's admission Record (AR- a document that provides resident contact details, a brief medical history, level of functioning, preferences, and wishes), dated 3/3/25, the AR indicated, Resident 3 was admitted from an acute care hospital on [DATE] to the facility, with diagnoses that included Dementia (a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person's ability to perform everyday activities), Hypertension (high blood pressure), Pressure Ulcer of Sacral Region (triangular-shaped bone near the tailbone), and Anxiety Disorder (a mental health illness characterized by a sudden feeling of panic and fear, restlessness, and uneasiness).

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.

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.
