**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the comprehensive
person-centered care plan was revised for one of three sampled residents (Resident 2). * The facility failed
to revise Resident 2's care plan when Resident 2 had a fall. This failure placed the resident at risk of not
being provided appropriate, consistent, and individualized care. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled
Care Planning Interdisciplinary Team revised 9/2013 showed the assessments of the residents are ongoing
and care plans are revised as information about the residents and the residents' conditions change.
Medical record review for Resident 2 was initiated on 10/1/25. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. Review of Resident 2's eINTERACT Change in Condition Evaluation dated 8/23/25, showed
Resident 2 was found lying on the floor on the right side of the bed holding the siderail. Review of Resident
2's Fall Risk Evaluation dated 8/23/25, showed Resident 2 was at a high risk for falls. Review of Resident
2's plan of care dated 8/23/25, showed a care plan problem addressing Resident 2's moderate risk for falls.
In addition, the care plan showed Resident 2 had a fall on 8/23/25. However, the care plan was not revised
to show Resident 2's high risk for fall based on the resident's Fall Risk Evaluation dated 8/23/25. On
10/3/25 at 1139 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 3. LVN
3 verified Resident 2 was at high risk for fall and the resident's care plan was not revised to show the
resident's high risk for fall after his fall incident on 8/23/25. On 10/3/25 at 1420 hours, an interview was
conducted with the DON. The DON was informed and verified the above findings.
Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other
safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the
date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and medical record review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to
maintain the highest practicable well-being for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1). * LVN 1
delayed contacting emergency services after Resident 1 who was on an anticoagulant, had an unwitnessed
fall and injury to his forehead. This failure had the potential to negatively affect the resident's well-being as
the necessary care and services were not provided.Findings: Medical record review for Resident 1 was
initiated on 10/1/25. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 1 had diagnoses which
included anoxic brain damage, diffuse traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy. Review of Resident 1's H&P
examination dated 4/24/25, showed Resident 1 had no capacity to make medical decisions. Review of
Resident 1's eINTERACT Change of Condition Evaluation - V 5.1 dated 9/18/25 at 0840 hours, showed
Resident 1 had an unwitnessed fall, where he was found on the floor next to his bed. Resident 1 was noted
to have a bump on his right forehead. The physician was notified at 0905 hours and recommended to
transfer Resident 1 to the acute care hospital for an evaluation and treatment. Review of Resident 1's
progress note showed a late entry dated 9/18/25 at 1000 hours, showing the licensed staff called 911 and
the paramedics arrived at 0950 hours. Resident 1 left the facility via gurney at 0958 hours. Review of
Resident 1's admission H&P note from Acute Care Hospital A dated 9/18/25, showed Resident 1 fell
around two feet from the bed onto the ground and striking his head. The CT of the head result showed a
small 2 mm right frontal subdural hematoma. On 10/1/25 at 1600 hours, an interview was conducted with
LVN 1. LVN 1 stated on 9/18/25 at around 0840 hours, she found Resident 1 on the floor near the right side
of his bed. LVN 1 stated she assessed Resident 1 and saw a bump on his forehead, before placing him
back on his bed with CNA 1's assistance. LVN 1 stated the physician ordered to transfer Resident 1 to the
acute care hospital for an evaluation. LVN 1 stated she contacted a regular ambulance but was told by the
ambulance company that since Resident 1 was on a blood thinner medication and had a bump on his head,
she should contact 911. LVN 1 stated she attempted to contact another regular ambulance but was told the
same instructions. LVN 1 then contacted 911 for Resident 1. On 10/2/25 at 1548 hours, an interview was
conducted with the DON. The DON stated if the resident had an unwitnessed fall and was on blood thinner
medications, the resident would be transferred to the acute care hospital for an evaluation via a regular
ambulance or 911. When asked what would determine the licensed staff to contact 911, the DON stated if
the resident had a bump or a headache. The DON verified Resident 1 had a bump on his head due to the
unwitnessed fall incident. In addition, the DON stated the licensed staff should have contacted 911 for
Resident 1. On 10/10/25 at 1607 hours, a telephone interview was conducted with the DON and Medical
Records Director. The DON and Medical Records Director were informed and acknowledged the above
findings. Cross reference F689.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to
provide the necessary care and services to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) was free
from accident hazards. * Resident 1 had an unwitnessed fall incident on 9/18/25. The facility failed to
investigate Resident 1's family member's grievance regarding Resident 1's position near the edge of the
bed on 9/16/25. Resident 1's fall risk assessment was inaccurate resulting in an incorrect fall risk score
status. In addition, the facility failed to update Resident 1's care plan addressing the resident's risk for fall
and his behavior of dangling his legs off the bed prior to his fall incident. These failures resulted in Resident
1 sustaining a subdural hematoma (a collection of blood that accumulates between the brain and the inner
layer of the skull) and hospitalization.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Grievance/Complaint Log
revised 4/2008 showed the Social Services will be responsible for the grievance log. The following
information as a minimum must be recorded:a) The date the grievance/complaint was received;b) The
name and room number of the resident following the grievance complaint;c) The name and relationship of
the person filing the grievance/complaint in behalf of the resident;d) The date the alleged incident took
place;e) The name of the person (s) investigating the incident;f) The disposition of the grievance (i.e.,
resolved, dispute, etc.,).Review of the facility's Fall Program: Falling (Yellow) Star Program (undated)
showed the IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) will review appropriate interventions for the residents identified as
a fall risk; interventions will be based on the resident's fall risk factors from assessments, history of falls,
and other fall risk determinants. The DON and DSD will re-educate the nursing staff about the Falling Star
Program which will include the frequency of monitoring the residents and interventions to minimize injuries
from a potential fall. a. Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 10/1/25. Resident 1 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 1 had diagnoses which included diffuse traumatic brain injury (a
disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head),
history of falling, and anoxic brain damage (a condition where the brain was deprived of oxygen for a period
of time). In addition, Resident 1 was hospitalized on [DATE], and returned to the facility on 9/25/25. Review
of Resident 1's H&P examination dated 4/24/25, showed Resident 1 was nonverbal and had no capacity to
make medical decisions. Review of Resident 1's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 1 was
dependent on the facility staff assistance to roll from lying on his back, to the left and right sides, and return
to lying on his back on the bed. Further review of Resident 1's MDS assessment showed to code the
resident dependent when the resident did not provide any effort to complete the activity, or the assistance
of two or more helpers were required for the resident to complete the activity. In addition, the MDS
assessment showed Resident 1 had an impairment on both upper and lower extremities that interfered with
daily functions. Review of Resident 1's Grievance / Complaint Report Form dated 9/16/25, showed the
department manager would investigate the allegations and submit a written report of the findings to the
Administrator within five working days of receiving the grievance. Resident 1's grievance form showed
Resident 1's family member complained regarding the resident's legs positioned towards the edge of the
bed and informing a CNA to reposition the resident. Under the sections for witnesses and employees to
describe the incident and to describe the findings of the incident showed N/A was documented. Under the
Recommendations/Corrective Action Taken section showed an in-service was initiated for the licensed
nurses and CNAs on 9/17/25, about proper positioning in bed. However, further review of Resident 1's
medical record failed to show documentation the facility monitored and/or provided

additional interventions to prevent the resident from falling after the grievance from the resident's family
member was filed. Review of Resident 1's eINTERACT Change in Condition Evaluation - V 5.1 dated
9/18/25, showed Resident 1 had an unwitnessed fall incident, where he was found lying on the floor near
the right side of his bed. Resident 1 was noted to have a bump on the right side of his forehead. Resident 1
was on an anticoagulant (blood thinner) medication and the physician ordered to transfer Resident 1 to the
acute care hospital for an evaluation and treatment. Review of Resident 1's admission H&P note from Acute
Care Hospital A dated 9/18/25, showed Resident 1 fell around two feet from the bed onto the ground and
striking his head. The CT of the head (computed tomography scan of the head is an imaging test that uses
X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the brain, skull, and sinuses) result showed a small 2
mm (size) right frontal subdural hematoma. b. Review of the facility's P&P titled Falls - Clinical Protocol
revised 3/2018 showed the staff will identify the resident's risk factors for falls and history of falling. The
nurse shall assess the resident and document the resident's vital signs, musculoskeletal function, and
observe for change in normal range of motion. In addition, the staff will identify, monitor, and document the
interventions related to the residents' risk of falls and re-evaluate the current approaches as needed to
prevent subsequent falls. Review of the facility's P&P titled Charting and Documentation revised 7/2017
showed documentation in the medical record will be objective, complete, and accurate. Review of Resident
1's IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) Conference Record-RNA Follow Up dated 4/5/25, showed Resident 1 was
bed bound. Review of Resident 1's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 1 was
dependent on the facility staff assistance on toileting hygiene, and was always incontinent with the urinary
and bowel continence. Review of Resident 1's MAR for July 2025 showed Resident 1 was administered
with the following medications:- from 7/1 to 7/31/25, Resident 1 was administered amlodipine (used to treat
high blood pressure)10 mg one tablet via GT in the morning for hypertension (high blood pressure);- from
7/1 to 7/31/25, Resident 1 was administered 5 ml of levetiracetam (anticonvulsant) 100 mg/ml oral solution
via GT one time a day for seizures (a sudden burst of electrical activity in the brain);- on 7/17/25 at 2218
hours, Resident 1 was administered Ativan (antianxiety) 2 mg/ml intravenously every four hours as needed
for seizure disorder. Review of Resident 1's N Adv - Fall Risk Evaluation dated 7/24/25 at 1604 hours,
showed the following:- For the ambulation and elimination status, the documentation showed Resident 1
was chairbound/incontinent; however, Resident 1 was bedbound and incontinent.- For medications, the
documentation showed Resident 1 was taking one to two of these medication classes (anesthetics,
antihistamines, antihypertensives, antiseizure, benzodiazepines, cathartics, diuretics, hypoglycemics,
narcotics, psychotropics, sedatives/hypnotics) within the last seven days; however, Resident 1 was taking
three of the medication classes (antihypertensive, antiseizure, and psychotropic medication) . The Fall Risk
Evaluation further showed if the total score was 10 or greater, the resident would be considered at high risk
for potential falls and preventions should be initiated immediately and documented on the care plan. Review
of Resident 1's progress notes correlating with the N Adv - Fall Risk Evaluation dated 7/24/25 at 1604
hours, showed the resident's fall risk score was nine. On 10/2/25 at 1256 hours, a follow up interview and
concurrent medical record review for Resident 1 was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 verified the Fall Risk
Evaluation was inaccurate and based on the resident's MAR, the fall risk score would be higher than nine,
to show Resident 1 would be at a high risk for fall. c. Review of the facility's P&P titled Care Plans,
Comprehensive Person-Centered revised 12/2016 showed the care plan interventions are implemented
after careful data gathering of the resident's problem areas and their causes. In addition, the assessments
of the residents are ongoing, and care plans are revised as information about the residents change.

Review of Resident 1's plan of care initiated 12/10/24, and revised 10/1/25, showed a care plan problem
addressing the resident's risk for falls. The interventions included to anticipate and meet the resident's
needs, review information on past falls and attempt to determine the cause of the falls, record the possible
roots cause, remove potential causes (for the falls) if possible, initiate the Falling Star Program, apply the
yellow wrist band on the resident, place a yellow star by the door next to the resident's name, place the
resident's bed in the lowest position and place the call light within reach. The care plan failed to show a new
intervention was added or modified to prevent fall after the grievance of the resident's family member
regarding the resident's episode of resident's legs positioned towards the edge of the bed or the behavior of
dangling his legs over the bed. Further review Resident 1's care plan showed interventions were added to
the resident's care plan on 9/20/25, after the resident's fall on 9/18/25, which included providing frequent
visual checks, positioning the resident in the middle of the bed, and putting pillows on the resident's sides.
On 10/1/25 at 1600 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated on 9/18/25 at around 0840
hours, she found Resident 1 on the floor near the right side of his bed. LVN 1 stated she assessed Resident
1 and saw a bump on his forehead, before placing him back on his bed with CNA 1's assistance. LVN 1
stated the physician ordered to transfer Resident 1 to the acute care hospital for an evaluation. When asked
if LVN 1 was aware of Resident 1's behavior of dangling his legs over the bed, LVN 1 stated the resident
would cross his legs near the edge of his bed and slide down on the bed, when he was on the low air loss
mattress. On 10/2/25 at 1020 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 1. CNA 1 stated Resident 1
would cross his legs all the time during his scheduled shifts. CNA 1 added the resident's legs would hang
over the bed, and the resident would slide down on the low air loss mattress. CNA 1 stated he had informed
the licensed nurses about Resident 1's behavior but was not aware if interventions were implemented for
Resident 1 regarding the behavior of hanging his legs over the bed. On 10/2/25 at 1233 hours, a telephone
interview was conducted with Family Member 1. Family Member 1 stated she filed a grievance on 9/16/25,
with the facility, because Resident 1's legs were hanging off the bed and he was close to falling from the
bed. Family Member 1 stated the facility staff informed her they would speak to the DON to address
Resident 1's behavior and come up with a plan. On 10/2/25 at 1256 hours, a follow up interview and
concurrent medical record review for Resident 1 was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated she did not
document Resident 1's ability to cross his legs in his medical record and verified there was no
documentation in Resident 1's progress notes regarding his ability to cross or move his legs over the bed.
LVN 1 further stated she would have initiated a care plan for Resident 1's behavior of hanging his leg over
the bed so the facility staff would be aware of any interventions implemented. LVN 1 reviewed Resident 1's
N Adv - Fall Risk Evaluation dated 7/24/25, and Resident 1's MAR for 7/2025. LVN 1 verified the Fall Risk
Evaluation was inaccurate and based on the resident's MAR, the fall risk score would be higher and show
Resident 1 would be at a high risk for fall. On 10/2/25 at 1548 hours, an interview and concurrent medical
record review was conducted with the DON. The DON stated when a grievance was filed, the SSD should
notify the responsible staff who oversaw the department, interview the facility staff involved, and update the
resident's care plan. The DON verified she only updated Resident 1's care plan regarding the grievance
after the resident's fall incident. On 10/8/25 at 0957 hours, an interview was conducted with the Interim
DSD. The Interim DSD stated the SSD spoke to her regarding Family Member 1's grievance about Resident
1's legs dangling off the bed and their concern of Resident 1 falling out of bed. The Interim DSD stated she
provided an in-service to the facility staff about repositioning the residents. When asked if the Interim DSD

falls, the Interim DSD stated just the intervention to reposition the resident. On 10/8/25 at 1045 hours, an
interview and concurrent facility document review of Resident 1's Grievance Form was conducted with the
SSD. The SSD stated she was responsible for investigating the facility's grievances. When asked how the
SSD investigated the grievance from Family Member 1, the SSD stated she informed the Interim DSD
about Family Member 1's concern and the Interim DSD agreed to do an all-facility staff in-service about
positioning the residents. The SSD verified she did not interview any facility staff members about Resident
1's behavior of hanging his legs over the bed. On 10/8/25 at 1156 hours, a follow-up interview and
concurrent facility document review for Resident 1 was conducted with the DON. The DON stated based on
Resident 1's Grievance Form, the documented N/A on the form showed the grievance was not investigated
because the facility staff were not interviewed. In addition, the DON stated the facility should have
implemented interventions for Resident 1 regarding Family Member 1's grievance. The DON verified
Resident 1's fall risk evaluation was inaccurate and stated if the correct assessment was conducted,
Resident 1's fall risk score would have increased to show the resident was high risk for fall. On 10/10/25 at
1607 hours, a telephone interview was conducted with the DON and Medical Records Director. The DON
and Medical Records Director were informed and acknowledged the above findings.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the pharmaceutical
services were provided to meet the residents needs for two of three sampled residents (Residents 1 and 2).
* The facility failed to administer Resident 1's medications scheduled. In addition, the facility documented
Resident 1's medications were administered on 9/19/25 at 1700, 1800, 1900, and 2100 hours, after the
resident was transferred to the acute care hospital. * The facility failed to administer Resident 2's
medications scheduled on 9/15 and 9/22/25 at 2100 hours. These failures had the potential to negatively
affect the residents health conditions and posed the risk for diversion of the medications.Findings: Review
of the facility's P&P titled Administering Medications revised 4/2019 showed the medications are
administered in a safe and timely manner and as prescribed. The individual administering the medication
initials the resident's MAR on the appropriate line after giving each medication and before administering the
next ones. If a medication is withheld, refused, or given at a time other than the scheduled time, the
individual administering the medication shall initial and circle the appropriate line on the resident's MAR.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Charting and Documentation revised 7/2017 showed documentation in
the medical record will be objective, complete, and accurate. 1. Medical record review for Resident 1 was
