Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 2) care plan was revised after Resident 2 fell on [DATE].This deficient practice had the potential for the nursing staff to be unaware of Resident 2's current fall-risk precautions and interventions, which could delay or negatively impact the delivery of her care and potentially lead to further falls.Findings:During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy (temporary or permanent damage to the brain due to lack of glucose, oxygen or other metabolic agent, or organ dysfunction), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), and difficulty walking.During a review of Resident s's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool) dated 7/8/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2 was not able to make decisions that were reasonable and consistent and required partial/moderate assistance (helper does more than half the effort) from staff to complete her activities of daily living ([ADLs] routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily), such as toilet transfer, repositioning from sitting to standing, position and transferring from the bed/chair-to-chair. The MDS indicated Resident 2 was incontinent of bowel and bladder (involuntary voiding of urine and stool). During a review of Resident 2's Care Plan, dated 8/10/2025, the Care Plan indicated Resident 2 was at risk for falls due to incontinence, psychoactive drug (medications that affect mood, thinking, behavior, or perception), and unawareness of safety needs. The Care Plan's goal was for Resident 2 to be free from falls and minor injuries and will not sustain serious injuries. The Care Plan's interventions included anticipating and meeting Resident 2's needs, ensuring staff respond promptly to Resident 2's calls and requests for assistance, and providing a safe environment by keeping pathways free of spills or clutter, providing adequate lighting, and ensuring personal items including the call light were within reach. During a review of Resident 2's Change of Condition Evaluation (COC) dated 12/25/2025 and timed 12:58 a.m., the COC indicated Resident 2 had a fall and was found sitting on the lobby floor with blood on her face. During a review of Resident 2's Change in Condition Progress Notes dated 12/26/2025 and timed at 1:59 a.m., the Change in Condition Progress Notes indicated Resident 2 was found on the floor by the nursing station with a quarter sized cut on the forehead actively that was actively bleeding. The Change in Condition Progress Notes indicated the paramedics (a group of individuals trained to provide emergency medical care to people who are injured or ill outside the GACH) were called and Resident 2 was transferred to a general acute care hospital (GACH) via 911 for further treatment.During a review of Resident 2's Clinical Records, there was no documentation indicating an Interdisciplinary Team ([IDT] a group of medical professionals from different disciplines who work together to help a resident achieve their goals) of the facility implemented a care conference with Resident 2's emergency contact to discuss recommendations, changes and/or update
