Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents
(Resident 1) bed was placed in a low position, per the resident's Falling Star Program care plan dated
2/13/2024.
This failure has resulted in Resident 1, who was assessed as a high risk for falls, being observed in a bed
that was not in a lowered position and placed Resident 1 at risk for falling out of bed and injuries.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 1 was
originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnosis including a diagnosis
of generalized weakness.
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool) dated 2/3/2025, the
MDS indicated Resident 1 was forgetful and was not able to make reasonable and consistent decisions, he
required one to two person assist to complete activities of daily living ([ADLs] routine tasks/activities]) such
as transferring from bed/chair to chair.
During a review of Resident 1's Care Plan date 2/13/2024, the Care Plan indicated Resident 1 was at risk
for falls related to antihypertensive medications (medications used to treat high blood pressure), balance
deficit (poor balance), cognitive (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding
through thought, experience, and the senses) impairment, decreased strength and endurance, history of
falls, poor safety awareness/judgement and an unsteady gait (a person's manner of walking). The Care
Plan's goal indicated Resident 1's bed should be in a low position.
During an observation of Resident 1 on 5/14/2025 at 3:12 p.m., accompanied by Registered Nurse
Supervisor (RNS) 1, and concurrent interview, Resident 1 was observed in bed asleep, lying on his right
side close to the edge of the mattress. RNS 1 used a tape measurer to measure the height of Resident 1's
bed (from the top of the mattress to the floor), Resident 1's bed was 16 inches high as compared to
Resident 1's roommate's (Resident 3) bed, which was almost lowered to the floor. RNS 1 stated Resident
1's bed was not in the lowest position the bed could be placed in, which was 14 inches.
During an interview on 5/16/2025 at 4:04 p.m., the Director of Nursing Services (DON) stated during their
daily shift huddles interventions and safety precautions are discussed based on residents' care plans and
the interventions such as low beds are expected to be implemented to lessen the impact of a fall and injury
