F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) was provided with an environment free from accident hazards when certified nursing assistant (CNA) 1 provided care to Resident 1 alone, but based on Resident 1's assessed needs required two staff members, and Resident 1 had an air mattress (a mattress that works by using air chambers that redistribute pressure, improve blood flow, and reduce friction for residents with limited mobility) placed on his bed without a physician's order or monitors in place to ensure the correct settings were maintained. These failures resulted in Resident 1 falling from his bed and sustaining a broken bone in his right big toe on 9/25/25.Findings:A review of Resident 1's admission RECORD, indicated, Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses of cerebral infarction (part of the brain does not get enough blood and oxygen causing brain tissue to die), left hemiplegia (little to no use of one side of the body), and severe obesity (significant excessive body weight that poses serious health risks).A review of Resident 1's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool), dated 10/8/25, revealed a score of 14 out of 15 total points which indicated Resident 1 had normal memory, thinking, and understanding abilities.

At the time of the incident, CNA 1 stated he was positioned on the right side of Resident 1's bed and asked Resident 1 to roll over onto his left side. CNA 1 confirmed that the facility required two staff members to assist Resident 1 with Activities of daily living (ADLs, basic skills you need in regular daily life to care for yourself and/or others); however, he was alone at the time of the incident. CNA 1 reported that the air mattress, which had been installed the day prior, was unstable when Resident 1 turned. CNA 1 stated he was unsure who installed the air mattress for Resident 1 the day prior.During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 1 in his room on 10/21/25 at 1:41 PM, it was observed that Resident 1 was able to move the right side of his body but was unable to move his left side.

Resident 1 stated CNA 1 instructed him to turn to his left side but when he did so, the air mattress deflated on the left side, causing him to fall onto the floor. Resident 1 stated that only CNA 1 was present during the incident. Resident 1 further stated he can turn by himself, but since the fall, two staff members have now assisted him during care. Resident 1 stated the air mattress was removed on 9/25/25 after his fall. During an interview with the Director of Staff Development (DSD) on 10/21/25 at 2:09 PM, the DSD stated that the facility's protocol for a newly installed air mattress included verifying that the mattress settings were appropriate for the resident's weight and checking the overall firmness of the bed. Additionally, nurses were trained to ensure that the mattress remains properly inflated and is not flat. The DSD further stated that both he and the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) trained staff on proper air mattress repositioning. They emphasized that residents who were immobile or morbidly obese should be turned with the assistance of two CNAs at a time. Regarding Resident 1, CNA 1 was the only staff member assisting him during the incident and was subsequently written up for not following the protocol. A review of the facility's memo titled, CORRECTIVE ACTION MEMO dated 9/25/25 indicated, .Type of Violation: Violation of Safety Rules.employee [CNA 1].failure to follow company protocol regarding repositioning or doing ADL's care for morbid obesity patients have to be 2 people assist to prevent fall.During a concurrent interview and record review with the Administrator (ADM) and the assistant director of nursing (ADON) on 10/30/25 at 12:15 PM, the air mattress invoices were reviewed. The ADM stated that an air mattress was ordered from their vendor on 9/19/25 for another resident (Resident 3). When Resident 3 was discharged from the facility, facility staff switched Resident 3's bed, including the air mattress, with Resident 1's bed. The ADON confirmed the settings for Resident 1's air mattress were never added to Resident 1's treatment or medication administration record so the nurses could verify the mattress settings every shift. During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 1's medical record with the ADON on 10/30/25 at 2:15 PM, the ADON stated she was unsure who decided to move Resident 3's bed to Resident 1's room, as there was no physician order for an air mattress for Resident 1.During a phone interview with the ADON on 11/3/25 at 10:35 AM, the ADON stated that if an air mattress was applied to a resident's bed without a physician's order, there would be a risk of injury to the resident using the mattress.A review of the facility's Policy titled, Sufficient Staffing revised 10/2024 indicated, .Staffing numbers and the skill requirements of direct care staff are determined by the needs of the residents based on each resident's plan of care.
