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 interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of four residents reviewed (Resident 1) was monitored and supervised to prevent a fall. This failure had the potential to cause injury and harm to Resident 1.Findings: On August 21, 25, 26, 27, and 28, 2025, on-site visits at the facility were conducted to investigate a complaint regarding quality of care.
