F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 review and update a care plan (a document outlining a detailed approach to care customized to an individual resident's need) after a resident`s Change of Condition (COC-an improvement or worsening of a patient`s condition which was not anticipated) for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1 ). This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 1 receiving inadequate care and supervision to prevent falls. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated that the facility originally admitted the resident on 4/9/2014, and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including unspecified dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), need for assistance with personal care, history of falling, and fracture of left femur (thigh bone). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 10/12/2024, the MDS indicated that the resident`s cognitive skills (the brain's ability to think, read, learn, remember, reason, express thoughts, and make decisions) for daily decision making was moderately impaired (decisions poor, cues/supervision required). The MDS indicated that Resident 1 was dependent on staff (helper does all of the effort) for oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering/bathing, upper and lower body dressing, and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 1`s Quarterly Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE], the assessment indicated that Resident 1 was alert and oriented, had a history of fall in the last six months, required assistance for toileting, and was unable to stand without assistance. The fall risk assessment indicated that Resident 1 had a total score of 28 and a score of 18 or greater indicated that the resident should be considered at high risk for potential falls. During a review of Resident 1`s Change of Condition (COC) Assessment form dated 12/25/2024, the COC assessment form indicated that the resident had an abnormal lab result for [NAME] Blood Cell count of 14000 per microliter (WBC- type of blood cell that protects your body from infection. Generally, normal ranges are 4500-11000 cells per microliter of blood). The COC assessment indicated that Resident 1 had an episode of restlessness, was biting her hair, and moving a lot in her bed. The COC further indicated that Resident 1 slid down from her bed on the floor mat (a cushioned floor pad designed to help prevent injury should a person fall) landing on her knees. The COC assessment indicated that Resident 1 denied having pain or hitting her head and her physician ordered to transfer the (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
