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. A review of Resident
1's Weight Summary, dated 9/1/25, indicated Resident 1's weight was 362.4 pounds.A review of Resident

with CNA 1 on 10/21/25 at 2:18 PM, CNA 1 stated that Resident 1's fall occurred when he was preparing to
change Resident 1 and the mattress broke and he rolled out. 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

(9/25/25), CNA 1 assisted him with changing his brief (a disposable product used by people who cannot
control their bladder and/or bowels). 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. A review of the facility's undated Certified Nursing Assistant - Job
