**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

During a review of the Resident 1`s admission assessment dated [DATE], the admission assessment
indicated that the resident was readmitted back to facility with diagnoses of urinary tract infection (UTI- an
infection in the bladder/urinary tract).
Residents Affected - Few
During a review of Resident 1`s Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE], the assessment indicated that
Resident 1 had intermittent (on and off) confusion or poor safety awareness, had history of fall in the last 12
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 26 and 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 risk for fall care plan initiated on 3/30/2023, and last revised on 5/20/2024,
the care plan indicated a goal that the resident will have reduced risk for falls and injury through appropriate
interventions. The care plan interventions were to develop a fall risk assessment upon admission, quarterly,
annually, and with change of condition, to place resident`s call light and frequently used items within her
reach, to provide a safe and clutter free environment and frequent observation of the resident.
During a review of Resident 1's falling star program care plan initiated on 6/6/2023, and last revised on
8/12/2023, the care plan indicated a goal that the resident will have reduced risk for falls and injury through
appropriate interventions. The care plan interventions were to develop a fall risk assessment upon
admission, quarterly, annually, and with change of condition, provide frequent visual monitoring, attach call
light to resident`s bed, provide night light, apply side rails, and to respect resident`s wishes for
independence and dignity.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/23/2025 at 12:16 p.m., with Registered Nurse 1 (RN
1), Resident 1`s care plans were reviewed. RN 1 stated Resident 1 had a fall on 12/25/2024. RN 1 stated
Resident 1`s risk for fall care plan was last reviewed/revised on 5/20/2024. RN 1 stated Resident 1`s falling
star program care plan was last reviewed/revised on 8/20/2024. RN1 stated that Resident 1`s care plan for
risk for fall and falling star program were not reviewed/revised after the resident's fall on 12/25/2024. RN 1
stated that he (RN 1) does not know how long after a change of condition like a resident`s fall, a care plan
should be revised or updated.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/23/2025 at 12:45 p.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 1`s care plans and COC forms were reviewed. The DON stated Resident 1 had a COC for
elevated WBC and fall on 12/25/2024, and she was transferred to hospital on [DATE]. The DON stated
Resident 1`s risk for fall care plan was initiated on 3/30/2024 and last reviewed/revised on 5/20/2024. The
DON stated Resident 1`s falling star program care plan was initiated 6/6/2023 and last reviewed/revised on
8/20/2024. The DON stated when a resident has a fall, licensed staff are required to review/revised both
short term and long-term care plans. The DON stated Resident 1`s fall risk and falling star program care
plans were not reviewed and revised after the resident's fall on 12/25/2024. The DON stated the purpose of
reviewing and re-evaluating the care plans is to check the effectiveness of the care plan interventions and
make sure all the pertinent information and intervention regarding residents` care are included in the care
plan. The DON stated the potential outcome of not reviewing/revising a resident`s care plan after a fall is
inadequate care and supervision and recurrent falls for the resident.

Person-Centered, revised 3/2022, the P&P indicated assessments of residents are ongoing and care plans
are revised as information about the residents and the resident`s conditions changed. The interdisciplinary
team reviews and updates the care plan when there has been a significant change in the resident`s
condition, when the desired outcome is not met, when the resident has been readmitted to the facility from
a hospital stay, at least quarterly, in conjunction with the quarterly MDS assessments.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow the facility's policy and procedure titled Assessing
Falls and Their Causes, for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1) by failing to complete a fall risk
assessment after the resident`s fall on 12/25/2024.
This deficient practice placed Resident 1 at increased risk for recurrent falls and injuries.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/23/2025 at 12:00 p.m., with the facility`s Assistant
Director of Nursing (ADON), Resident 1`s fall risk assessments were reviewed. The ADON stated Resident
1`s fall risk assessment dated [DATE] is for the resident`s readmission to the facility. The ADON stated
Resident 1 was discharged to hospital on [DATE] and returned on 12/29/2024. The ADON stated a fall risk
assessment is completed after each admission and readmission.
Residents Affected - Few
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/23/2025 at 2:04 p.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 1`s fall risk assessments were reviewed. The DON stated licensed staff are required to
complete a fall risk assessment after resident`s admission, readmission and after resident`s fall. The DON
stated Resident 1 had a fall on 12/25/2025, however, licensed staff did not complete a fall risk assessment
after Resident 1`s fall on 12/25/2024. The DON stated the potential outcome of not conducting a fall risk
assessment after the resident's fall is insufficient care and placing the resident at risk for recurring falls.
