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
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement intervention to prevent falls
(multiple factors that increases an older person's chance of falling) for two out of three sampled residents
(Resident 1 2) by failing to place fall risk identifiers for Resident 1 and 2 in accordance with the facility's
policy and procedure.
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 1 and Resident 2 being at risk for falling and possibly
sustaining a serious bodily injury.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission record indicated the resident was admitted in the facility on
11/7/22 with diagnoses that included other seizures (a burst of uncontrolled electrical activity between brain
cells (also called neurons or nerve cells) that causes temporary abnormalities in muscle tone or
movements (stiffness, twitching or limpness), behaviors, sensations or states of awareness), type 2
diabetes mellitus (DM, A group of diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood) without complications
and difficulty walking.
During a review of Resident 1's Fall Risk Assessment, dated 8/6/23, indicated a Fall Risk Score of 16 which
is considered a high risk for falls.
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, comprehensive assessment of each resident's
functional capabilities and identifies health problems), dated 8/9/23, indicated the resident was assessed to
be severely impaired with cognitive (ability to understand and make decisions).
During a review of Resident 1's undated Care Plan (documents that specify residents health care needs
and outlines how staff will meet requirements), it indicated a low bed for fall management that was initiated
on 11/8/22, and to follow the facility fall protocol on 11/8/22.The Care Plan further indicated the Falling Star
Program to be initiated on 11/8/22 and specified placement of the red name on door and a red star on the
wheelchair.
During a review of Resident 2's admission record indicated the resident was originally admitted in the
facility on 7/24/06 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included type 2 DM, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD, a condition involving constriction of the airways and difficulty or discomfort
breathing), unspecified and radiculopathy (a range of symptoms produced by the pinching of a nerve root in
the spinal column [a bony column that surrounds and protect the spinal cord]), lumbar region.

door and a red star attached to resident's wheelchair. The DON stated, Resident 2 should be included in
the Falling Star Program because of his history of fall and therefore Resident 2 is considered at risk for
falling. The DON stated red identifiers are not on doors of residents who are at high risk for. The DON
stated there is no excuse to not have risk for fall identifiers for residents at a high risk for falls on doors and
wheelchairs and it is the licensed nurse's responsibility in ensuring this is implemented.
During a review of facilities QI Plan titled Fall Management Falling Star Program, updated 10/26/23,
indicated residents are considered at a high risk for falls if residents have had multiple falls within the last 3
months, falls with major injuries such as a fracture and or traumatic brain injury (violent jolt to the head), or
behavior of frequent non-compliance with safety precautions. If a resident refuses to move close to a
nursing station, the resident will have red name by the door and red star on their wheelchair to be identified
as resident in Falling Star Program.
