**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of five sampled residents
(Resident 1) received adequate supervision and that care plan (an individualized set of goals and
interventions specific to the Resident 1 ' s needs) interventions were implemented to prevent an injury
when, Resident 1 ' s care plan interventions of a fall mat (a soft pad at the side of the bed to soften a fall)
and two person staff assist with activities of daily living (ADL ' s; a term used to collectively describe
fundamental skills required to independently care for oneself, such as eating, bathing, and mobility) were
not implemented and Resident 1 fell from the bed on 9/24/24.
This failure led to Resident 1 sustaining multiple skin tears, pain, a broken clavicle (also called collarbone;
is a long, slightly curved bone that connects your arm to your body and located in your upper chest area),
and a decline in ability to feed herself.

Resident 1 ' s fall risk factors and targeted interventions to reduced fall risks), dated 1/12/24, indicated
Resident 1 ' s fall risk score was 55 (45 and higher indicated a high risk for falls). Resident 1 ' s contributing
factors for falls included a history of falls, use of a wheelchair, overestimated or forgot physical limits, and
