F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few bed without assistance , revised on 1/16/2025, on 8/7/2025 at 1:58 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated care plan goal indicated Resident 1 would be free from falls DON stated Resident 1 was confused resident and did not follow directions, so facility staff placed Resident 1 in front of the nursing station to prevent falls. The DON stated since resident 1 had a fall the care plan intervention were not effective and that the care plan should be more specific to Resident 1's needs to indicate the frequency of visual monitoring to prevent falls or accidents. During an interview on 8/7/2025 at 1:58 PM with the DON, the DON stated Resident 2 had a fall on 3/9/2025, 5/25/2025 ,and 7/27/2025. The DON stated after each fall it was protocol for the licensed nurse (LN) to conduct a fall risk assessment and based on the fall risk assessment a care plan was initiated. The DON stated when a resident was assessed for risk for falls, facility staff would need to implement interventions to prevent the resident for a fall.During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/7/2025 at 1:58 PM with the DON, Resident 2's Fall Risk Assessments dated 5/25/2025 and 7/27/25 were reviewed. The DON stated the two Assessments were not accurate since both Assessments indicated Resident 2 did not have a history of falls within the last six (6) months. The DON stated the 5/25/25 Assessment should indicate a fall since Resident 2 fell on 3/9/2025. The DON stated the 7/27/25 Assessment should indicate a fall since Resident 2 fell on 5/25/25. The DON stated it was essential to accurately assess and document on the fall risk assessment so facility staff would know if a resident was at risk for falls to provide interventions based on the assessment. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure titled, Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, revised March 2018, 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 is defined as unintentionally coming to rest on the ground, floor or other lower level, but not as a result of an overwhelming external force (e.g., a resident pushes another resident). An episode where a resident lost his/her balance and would have fallen, if not for another person or if he or she had not caught him/herself, is considered a fall. A fall without injury is still a fall. Unless there is evidence suggesting otherwise, when a resident is found on the floor, a fall is considered to have occurred. The staff, with the input of the attending physician, 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 the resident continues to fall, staff will re-evaluate the situation and whether it is appropriate to continue or change current interventions. As needed, the attending physician will help the staff reconsider possible causes that may not previously have been identified. The staff and/or physician will document the basis for conclusions that specific irreversible risk factors exist that continue to present a risk for falling or injury due to falls.During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure titled, Fall Risk Assessment, with no date, indicated The nursing staff, in conjunction with the attending physician. consultant pharmacists, therapy staff, and others, will seek to identify and document resident risk factors for falls and establish a resident-centered falls prevention plan based on relevant assessment information. The staff will seek to identify environmental factors that may contribute to falling, such as lighting and room layout. The staff and attending physician will collaborate to identify and address modifiable fall risk factors and interventions to try to minimize the consequences of risk factors that are not modifiableDuring a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure titled, Certified Nursing Assistant , with no date, indicated Position summary :The purpose of your job position is to provide each resident with routine daily nursing care in accordance with the resident's assessment plan along with current federal, state, and local standards that govern the facility, and as directed by your 055523 Page 3 of 8 055523 08/08/2025 Glendale Post Acute Center 250 N.
