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 one of three sampled residents
(Resident 1) when Resident 1 was assessed as being a high fall risk with poor safety awareness 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 falls on 3/15/25 and 3/16/25 sustaining a fracture of the
left greater trochanter (a type of hip fracture [broken bone] where the femur [upper thigh bone] meets the
pelvis) causing pain and decreased mobility which required transportation to the emergency department
(ED) for assessment and treatment of his injury. Resident 1 had a third fall on 3/17/25 which placed the
resident at risk for further serious injury. (Cross reference F689)
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1 ' s CT scan (CT-medical imaging that uses X-rays [uses a type of radiation to
create images inside the body] and computers to create detailed images of the body) results from the acute
care hospital (ACH), dated 3/17/25, the CT results indicated, . Acute comminuted fracture [type of fracture
where the bone breaks into three or more pieces] of the greater trochanter of the left femur with minimum
displacement [broken ends of bone are relatively aligned] .
During a review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record (AR), undated, the AR indicated Resident 1 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included hemiplegia (weakness or paralysis of the
arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body)
following cerebral infarction (stroke-blood flow to the brain is disrupted), palliative care (specialized medical
care focused on relieving symptoms of a serious illness), squamous cell carcinoma of skin (type of skin
cancer), Type 2 diabetes mellitus (disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound
healing), transient cerebral ischemic attack (temporary interruption of blood flow to the brain) and spinal
stenosis (condition where the spinal canal becomes narrowed).
During a review of Residents 1 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool used to identify
resident cognitive and physical function) assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 1 ' s Brief Interview
of Mental status assessment (BIMS - assessment of cognitive status for memory and judgement) scored 11
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 11 ' s cognition was moderately
impaired.

him in the head and causing him to fall on the ground. Resident 1 stated he was hit on his forehead, back of
his head on the left side and landed on his left hip. Resident 1 stated, It hurt really bad. Resident 1 stated
he had a portable X-ray done at the facility which did not show any fractures but was sent to the emergency
room the next day where he was told he had a hip fracture. Resident 1 stated the fracture was not severe
enough to require surgery, so he was sent from the ED back to the facility. Resident 1 stated he was
independent to go to the bathroom and back, so he did not use his call light or walker.

(LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated he was assigned to Resident 1. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 tended to get up to
bathroom and back to bed without supervision. Resident 1 ' s progress notes were reviewed, LVN 1 stated
Resident 1 fell on 3/15/25, 3/16/25 and 3/17/25. Resident 1 ' s fall risk care plans were reviewed. LVN 1
stated Resident 1 would not use the call light and interventions to remind him or educate him to use it were
not effective. LVN 1 stated the interventions were basic and would apply to most residents. LVN 1 stated the
care plans did not address Resident 1 ' s specific needs, such as his noncompliance with the call light. LVN
1 stated Resident 1 needed more frequent supervision and to be put on a toileting schedule because he
frequently ambulated to the bathroom by himself.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/1/25 at 11:25 a.m. with the MDS Coordinator
(MDSC), Resident 1 ' s care plans were reviewed, the MDSC stated Resident 1 was known to be
non-compliant and interventions of encourage call light, call light in reach, educate on risks versus benefits
were not effective interventions. The MDSC stated the care plan interventions did not address the root
cause of Resident 1 ' s falls which was poor safety awareness, impulsiveness and noncompliance with call
light and assistive devices. The MDSC stated Resident 1 ' s care plans were not individualized for Resident
1 ' s needs.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/1/25 at 12:13 p.m. with the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated Resident 1 had a fall on 3/15/25 when the adjoining neighbor opened
the bathroom door as he tried to enter, causing him to hit his head and fall but the resident was not sent to
the ED. The ADON stated he had an X-ray of his hip done at the facility with negative results. The ADON
stated Resident 1 had an unwitnessed fall on 3/16/25 and was found on the floor by one of the charge
nurses in between his bed and his neighbor ' s bed. The ADON stated he complained of pain and the nurse
was given the authorization from hospice to send him to the ED. The ADON stated a CT scan was
performed in the ED which indicated Resident 1 had a comminuted fracture to his left trochanter and he
was sent back to the facility on the morning of 3/17/25. The ADON stated Resident 1 had another fall on
3/17/25 after he was sent back to the facility with orders to be non-weight bearing on his left leg. The ADON
stated the resident had ambulated to the doorway behind his wheelchair, turned around and fell on the floor
in front of the charge nurse. The ADON stated Resident 1 rarely used his call light to ask for assistance to
the bathroom and back. The ADON stated Resident 1 ' s fall risk assessment indicated he was at high risk
for falls. Resident 1 ' s care plans were reviewed, the ADON stated the care plan was not updated after the
falls on 3/15/25 and 3/16/25 because it happened on the weekend. The ADON stated the IDT met on
3/17/25 and the care plans were updated.

The ADON stated care plans were a plan of care individualized to each resident to take care of their own
specific needs. The ADON reviewed Resident 1 ' s fall care plan interventions and stated they were not
specific and individualized to him and could apply to any resident. The ADON stated Resident 1 continued
to fall despite the facility ' s routine two-hour checks for all residents. The ADON stated Resident 1 needed
more frequent supervision to prevent his falls. The ADON stated Resident 1 ' s care plan did not address
the amount of supervision Resident 1 required for safety. Resident 1 ' s MDS Section GG, was reviewed.
The ADON stated the MDS indicated Resident 1 required supervision or touch assistance for toileting and
ambulating short distances which meant somebody needed to be with him to go to the bathroom. The
ADON stated Resident 1 should a gait belt (a strap worn around a person ' s waist, used by caregivers to
assist with walking) on and a walker with him for safety. The ADON stated Resident 1 ' s fall care plans did
not address caregivers helping him to the bathroom or use of a gait belt.
During an interview and record review on 4/1/25 at 1:21 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON
stated she was concerned because Resident 1 had three falls within three days. The DON stated she had
discussed Resident 1 ' s falls with his hospice agency because they were also responsible to help prevent
falls. Resident 1 ' s IDT notes were reviewed. The DON stated the root cause of Resident 1 ' s falls were his
impulsive behaviors, poor safety awareness and non-compliance. The DON reviewed Resident 1 ' s fall care
plan and stated the interventions to remind him to use the call light and education were not effective in
preventing his falls because of his non-compliance. The DON stated Resident 1 ' s care plan interventions
did not address the level of supervision and assistance needed for ADLs (activities of daily
living-fundamental self-care tasks to maintain independence and well-being such as bathing, dressing,
toileting and mobility) and to prevent falls. The DON stated, we could not do anything to prevent his falling.
During a review of the facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) titled Care Plans, Comprehensive
Person-Centered, dated 3/2022, the P&P indicated, . comprehensive, person-centered care plan that

bathroom and back to bed without supervision. Resident 1 ' s progress notes were reviewed, LVN 1 stated
Resident 1 fell on 3/15/25, 3/16/25 and 3/17/25. Resident 1 ' s fall risk care plans were reviewed. LVN 1
stated Resident 1 would not use the call light and interventions to remind him or educate him to use it were
not effective. LVN 1 stated the interventions were basic and would apply to most residents. LVN 1 stated the
care plans did not address Resident 1 ' s specific needs, such as his noncompliance with the call light. LVN
1 stated Resident 1 needed more frequent supervision and to be put on a toileting schedule because he
frequently ambulated to the bathroom by himself.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/1/25 at 11:25 a.m. with the MDS Coordinator
(MDSC), Resident 1 ' s care plans were reviewed, the MDSC stated Resident 1 was known to be
non-compliant and interventions of encourage call light, call light in reach, educate on risks versus benefits
were not effective interventions. The MDSC stated the care plan interventions did not address the root
cause of Resident 1 ' s falls which was poor safety awareness, impulsiveness and noncompliance with call
light and assistive devices. The MDSC stated Resident 1 ' s care plans were not individualized for Resident
1 ' s needs.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/1/25 at 12:13 p.m. with the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated Resident 1 had a fall on 3/15/25 when the adjoining neighbor opened
the bathroom door as he tried to enter, causing him to hit his head and fall but the resident was not sent to
the ED. The ADON stated he had an X-ray of his hip done at the facility with negative results. The ADON
stated Resident 1 had an unwitnessed fall on 3/16/25 and was found on the floor by one of the charge
nurses in between his bed and his neighbor ' s bed. The ADON stated he complained of pain and the nurse
was given the authorization from hospice to send him to the ED. The ADON stated a CT scan was
performed in the ED which indicated Resident 1 had a comminuted fracture to his left trochanter and he
was sent back to the facility on the morning of 3/17/25. The ADON stated Resident 1 had another fall on
3/17/25 after he was sent back to the facility with orders to be non-weight bearing on his left leg. The ADON
stated the resident had ambulated to the doorway behind his wheelchair, turned around and fell on the floor
in front of the charge nurse. The ADON stated Resident 1 rarely used his call light to ask for assistance to
the bathroom and back. The ADON stated Resident 1 ' s fall risk assessment indicated he was at high risk
for falls. Resident 1 ' s care plans were reviewed, the ADON stated the care plan was not updated after the
falls on 3/15/25 and 3/16/25 because it happened on the weekend. The ADON stated the IDT met on
3/17/25 and the care plans were updated. The ADON stated care plans were a plan of care individualized
to each resident to take care of their own specific needs. The ADON reviewed Resident 1 ' s fall care plan
interventions and stated they were not specific and individualized to him and could apply to any resident.
The ADON stated Resident 1 continued to fall despite the facility ' s routine two-hour checks for all
residents. The ADON stated Resident 1 needed more frequent supervision to prevent his falls. The ADON
stated Resident 1 ' s care plan did not address the amount of supervision Resident 1 required for safety.
Resident 1 ' s MDS Section GG, was reviewed. The ADON stated the MDS indicated Resident 1 required

by caregivers to assist with walking) on and a walker with him for safety. The ADON stated Resident 1 ' s fall
care plans did not address caregivers helping him to the bathroom or use of a gait belt.
During an interview and record review on 4/1/25 at 1:21 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON
stated she was concerned because Resident 1 had three falls within three days. The DON stated she had
discussed Resident 1 ' s falls with his hospice agency because they were also responsible to help prevent
falls. Resident 1 ' s IDT notes were reviewed. The DON stated the root cause of Resident 1 ' s falls were his
impulsive behaviors, poor safety awareness and non-compliance. The DON reviewed Resident 1 ' s fall care
plan and stated the interventions to remind him to use the call light and education were not effective in
preventing his falls because of his non-compliance. The DON stated Resident 1 ' s care plan interventions
did not address the level of supervision and assistance needed for ADLs (activities of daily
living-fundamental self-care tasks to maintain independence and well-being such as bathing, dressing,
toileting and mobility) and to prevent falls. The DON stated, we could not do anything to prevent his falling.

**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 to prevent falls for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) when Resident 1 was assessed
to be at risk for falls on 1/22/25, had impulsive behavior and staff were aware of Resident 1 not using the
call light to request assistance to walk in his room and effective individualized interventions to prevent falls
were not implemented. Resident 1 experienced an unwitnessed fall on 3/15/25, fall on 3/16/25 and a fall on
3/17/25.
These failures resulted in Resident 1 ' s avoidable fall on 3/16/25 sustaining a fracture of the left greater
trochanter (a type of hip fracture [broken bone] where the femur [upper thigh bone] meets the pelvis)
causing pain and decreased mobility which required transportation to the emergency department (ED) for
assessment and treatment of his injury and was readmitted to the facility. Resident 1 had a third fall on
3/17/25 which placed the resident at risk for further serious injury.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/1/25 at 9:30 a.m., with Resident 1, Resident 1 was
lying in bed, dressed and groomed. There was a wheelchair and four-wheeled walker observed near his
bed. Resident 1 complained of pain to bilateral hips and stated he had fallen, and his left hip was swollen
and painful. Resident 1 stated he fell about a week ago (on 3/15/25) when he rushed to the bathroom
without his walker or wheelchair and at the same time, the resident from the adjoining room pushed the
bathroom door open hitting him in the head causing him to fall on the ground. Resident 1 stated he was hit
on his forehead, back of his head on the left side and landed on his left hip. Resident 1 stated, It hurt really
bad. Resident 1 stated he had a portable X-ray done at the facility which did not show any fractures but was
sent to the emergency room the next day where he was told he had a hip fracture. Resident 1 stated the
fracture was not severe enough to require surgery, so he was sent from the ED back to the facility. Resident
1 stated he was independent to go to the bathroom and back, so he did not use his call light or walker.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s CT scan (CT-specialized Xray machine to create detailed images of the
body) results from the acute care hospital (ACH), dated 3/17/25, the CT scan results indicated, . Acute
comminuted fracture [type of fracture where the bone breaks into three or more pieces] of the greater
trochanter of the left femur with minimum displacement [broken ends of bone are relatively aligned] .
During a review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record (AR), undated, the AR indicated Resident 1 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included left sided hemiplegia (weakness or paralysis
of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the
body) following cerebral infarction (stroke-blood flow to the brain is disrupted), palliative care (specialized
medical care focused on relieving symptoms of a serious illness), squamous cell carcinoma of skin (type of
skin cancer), Type 2 diabetes mellitus (disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor
wound healing), transient cerebral ischemic attack (temporary interruption of blood flow to the brain) and
spinal stenosis (condition where the spinal canal becomes narrowed).

root cause of Resident 1 ' s falls were his impulsive behaviors, poor safety awareness and non-compliance.
The DON reviewed Resident 1 ' s fall care plan and stated the interventions to remind him to use the call
light and education were not effective in preventing his falls because of his non-compliance. The DON
stated Resident 1 ' s care plan interventions did not address the level of supervision and assistance needed
for ADLs (activities of daily living-fundamental self-care tasks to maintain independence and well-being
such as bathing, dressing, toileting and mobility) and to prevent falls. The DON stated, we could not do
anything to prevent his falling.
During a telephone interview on 4/2/25 at 7:51 AM with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated she had witnessed Resident 1
' s fall on 3/17/25. LVN 2 stated she was standing across the hallway from his room at the medication cart
and when she turned around, the resident was standing in his doorway without staff assistance. LVN 2
stated she talked to him, and he turned around quickly put his hands in front of him and fell onto the
ground. LVN 2 stated she assessed the resident and put him into his wheelchair. LVN 2 stated she had
discussed Resident 1 ' s non-weight bearing status with him earlier in the day and he told her he wanted to
show himself that he could still get up and walk. LVN 2 stated before Resident 1 broke his hip, he would get
up to the bathroom by himself and would not use a walker, steadying himself by grabbing on to furniture or
the wall. LVN 2 stated Resident 1 was at high risk for falls because he was stubborn, non-compliant,
impulsive and had poor safety awareness.
During a review of the facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) titled Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, dated
3/2018, the P&P indicated, . Based on previous evaluations and current data, the staff will identify
interventions related to the resident ' s specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling
and to try to minimize complications from falling . Fall Risk Factors . pain . functional impairments . balance
and gait disorders . The staff . will implement a resident-centered fall prevention plan to reduce the specific
risk factor(s) of falls for each resident at risk or with a history of falls . If falling recurs despite initial
interventions, staff will implement additional or different interventions . staff will try various interventions,
based on assessment of the nature or category of falling, until falling is reduced or stop . staff will identify
and implement relevant interventions . to try to minimize serious consequences of falling . staff will monitor
and document each resident ' s response to interventions intended to reduce falling . If the resident
continues to fall, staff will re-evaluate the situation and whether it is appropriate to reconsider possible
causes .
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents received adequate
supervision to prevent falls for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) when Resident 1 was assessed
to be at risk for falls on 1/22/25, had impulsive behavior and staff were aware of Resident 1 not using the
call light to request assistance to walk in his room and effective individualized interventions to prevent falls
were not implemented. Resident 1 experienced an unwitnessed fall on 3/15/25, fall on 3/16/25 and a fall on
3/17/25.
These failures resulted in Resident 1's avoidable fall on 3/16/25 sustaining a fracture of the left greater
trochanter (a type of hip fracture [broken bone] where the femur [upper thigh bone] meets the pelvis)
causing pain and decreased mobility which required transportation to the emergency department (ED) for
assessment and treatment of his injury and was readmitted to the facility. Resident 1 had a third fall on
3/17/25 which placed the resident at risk for further serious injury.

was lying in bed, dressed and groomed. There was a wheelchair and four-wheeled walker observed near
his bed. Resident 1 complained of pain to bilateral hips and stated he had fallen, and his left hip was
swollen and painful. Resident 1 stated he fell about a week ago (on 3/15/25) when he rushed to the
bathroom without his walker or wheelchair and at the same time, the resident from the adjoining room
pushed the bathroom door open hitting him in the head causing him to fall on the ground. Resident 1 stated
he was hit on his forehead, back of his head on the left side and landed on his left hip. Resident 1 stated, It
hurt really bad. Resident 1 stated he had a portable X-ray done at the facility which did not show any
fractures but was sent to the emergency room the next day where he was told he had a hip fracture.
Resident 1 stated the fracture was not severe enough to require surgery, so he was sent from the ED back
to the facility. Resident 1 stated he was independent to go to the bathroom and back, so he did not use his
call light or walker.
During a review of Resident 1's CT scan (CT-specialized Xray machine to create detailed images of the
body) results from the acute care hospital (ACH), dated 3/17/25, the CT scan results indicated, . Acute
comminuted fracture [type of fracture where the bone breaks into three or more pieces] of the greater
trochanter of the left femur with minimum displacement [broken ends of bone are relatively aligned] .
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), undated, the AR indicated Resident 1 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included left sided hemiplegia (weakness or paralysis
of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the
body) following cerebral infarction (stroke-blood flow to the brain is disrupted), palliative care (specialized
medical care focused on relieving symptoms of a serious illness), squamous cell carcinoma of skin (type of
skin cancer), Type 2 diabetes mellitus (disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor
wound healing), transient cerebral ischemic attack (temporary interruption of blood flow to the brain) and
spinal stenosis (condition where the spinal canal becomes narrowed).
During a review of Residents 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool used to identify
resident cognitive and physical function) assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 1's Brief Interview of
Mental status assessment (BIMS – assessment of cognitive status for memory and judgement)
scored 11 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 11's cognition was
moderately impaired.
During an interview on 4/1/25 at 9:41 a.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated Resident
1 would not use his call light to call for help. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 would take himself to the bathroom
without assistance.
During an interview on 4/1/25 at 10:12 a.m. with CNA 2, CNA 2 stated Resident 1 would get out of bed and
walk to the bathroom independently. CNA 2 stated Resident 1 used the call light when he needed pain
medication but otherwise did not call for help. CNA 2 stated Resident 2 would hold onto items to walk to the
bathroom such as the bedside table, footboard and walls to get to the bathroom. CNA 2 stated Resident 1
needed to have supervision and use his walker to ambulate safely.
During a review of Resident 1's fall care plan, dated 3/16/25, the care plan indicated, . unwitnessed fall on
