Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement measures to prevent a fall for one (Resident 1) of ten sampled residents when nursing staff did not ensure Resident 1 wore non-slip socks during an assisted transfer from his bed to a shower chair.This failure resulted in Resident 1 sustaining a laceration to the left foot and a 5th digit fracture.Findings:A review of Resident 1's admission record indicated he was admitted in August 2024 with diagnosis of acute kidney failure (a rapid loss of the kidney's ability to filter waste), epilepsy (a brain disorder causing recurring seizures) and instability of the left knee. A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 1/9/25, indicated Resident 1 had no memory impairment. The MDS further indicated Resident 1 was dependent on staff for assisted bed to chair transfers.A review of Resident 1's Fall Risk Assessment, dated 1/9/26, indicated Resident 1 required the use of assistive devices for gait and balance.A review of Resident 1's care plan, related to Resident 1's impaired physical mobility related to decreased muscle strength, coordination or balance indicated staff were expected to make sure the resident wears non-slip shoes or socks.A review of Resident 1's SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation - a communication tool used by healthcare workers when there is a change of condition among the residents) note dated 12/27/25 at 1:34 p.m., indicated, laceration to bottom of left pinky toe with floppy left pinky toe.
