**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident, who was assessed at risk for falls with
poor safety awareness, did not fall and sustained injury for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1).
The facility failed to:
1. Ensure Resident 1's untitled care plan, dated 7/5/2024, identifying the resident as fall risk, had specific
interventions used and carried out to prevent the resident from falls and injuries.
2. Ensure untitled care plan, dated 7/5/2024, identifying Resident 1 as fall risk, was reviewed and revised
after the resident's fall on 8/20/2024, to have specific interventions to safeguard the residents from future
falls and injuries.
3. Ensure staff has taken precautions (unspecified) to prevent Resident 1 falls as indicated in untitled care
plan dated 7/8/2024, for the anticoagulant (blood thinner) therapy.
4. Ensure staff followed the facility's policy and procedure (P/P) titled Fall Management System dated
12/2023, which indicated residents with high risk factors identified on the fall risk evaluation will have an
individualized care plan developed that includes measurable objectives and timeframes.
These deficient practices resulted in Resident 1's unwitnessed fall on 10/24/2024 and sustaining injuries
leading to resident's transfer to the General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) d admission to the Intensive Care
Unit ([ICU] critical care unit in the hospital that takes care of patients who are critically ill) where Resident 1
was diagnosed with an 8.0 millimeters ([mm] a unit of measure of length) subdural (one of the tissue layers
of the brain) hematoma (a collection of blood after a head injury) and an acute hyperextension (forceful
extension of a joint beyond its normal limits) fracture [a break] in the spine that involves a triangular
fragment of bone) of the C6 (bone located at the base of the neck) vertebral body (bone in the neck). While
at the GACH Resident 1 was intubated (a tube inserted into a person's mouth or nose, then into their
windpipe to help deliver oxygen to the body) following with tracheostomy (a surgical opening through the
neck into the windpipe to allow air to fill the lungs), and on 11/12/2024 had a [NAME] (a small, rotating
cutting tool used by surgeons and dentists to remove or reshape bone) hole evacuation (a surgical
procedure that involves drilling small holes in the skull to drain blood or excess fluid) for the treatment of the

During an interview on 2/11/2025 at 2:03 a.m., with LVN 1, the LVN 1 stated a resident ( in general), who
were high risk for falls, required frequent monitoring every two hours. LVN 1 stated for residents, who were
getting out of bed unassisted, she would assign a 1:1 sitter (a person provides constant supervision)
because the resident needs constant redirection and monitoring.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 2/11/2025 at 12:52 p.m., with the Physical Therapist (PT 1), the PT 1 stated
Resident 1 required contact guard (lightly touching the resident to help with balance or stability) during
ambulation due to Resident 1's poor safety awareness.
During an interview on 2/11/2025 at 1:42 p.m., with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1), the RN 1 stated Resident 1
was a high risk for falls. RN 1 stated residents, who had dementia and were high fall risk, required
reminders to use the call light (to call for assistance), rounding (checking on the resident) and monitoring at
least every two hours to ensure their safe.
During an interview on 2/11/2025 at 2:07 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated when a
resident (in general) is admitted to the facility, upon admission a fall risk assessment is completed and if
needed, a care plan related to falls is created. The DON stated when a resident (general) sustains a fall, a
rehabilitation screen is completed, the root cause of the fall is investigated and discussed with the IDT
team, and the resident's care plan will be updated. The DON stated for Resident 1, frequent monitoring and
visual checks every two hours should have been added to the care plan and implemented. The DON stated
that if Resident 1 was frequently monitored, it could have decreased his chances of falling. The DON stated
Resident 1 would have benefited from having a 1:1 sitter assigned to him.
According to the National Institute of Health's ([NIH] the primary agency of the United States government
responsible for conducting and supporting medical research) article titled Anticoagulant use in older
persons at risk for falls: therapeutic dilemmas, dated 7/1/2023 the article indicated anticoagulants may
increase the risk of intracranial hemorrhage, internal bleeding, prolonged bleeding due to falls. The article
indicated assessing and modifying risk factors for falls and bleeding can make anticoagulant therapy safer.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P/P) titled Fall Management System dated 12/2023,
the P/P indicated residents with risk factors identified on the fall risk evaluation will have an individualized
care plan developed that includes measurable objectives and timeframes. The P/P indicated the care plan
interventions will be developed to prevent falls by addressing risk factors and will consider the particular
elements of the evaluation that put the resident at risk. The P/P indicated after a resident sustains a fall, the
resident's care plan will be updated.
