Ensure Resident 2 ' s care plan was individualized with interventions provided after the fall on 4/1/2025. 2. Conduct an Interdisciplinary Team ([IDT] group of healthcare professionals, including resident/ resident representative, working together to provide residents with needed care) to discuss safety interventions after Resident 2 ' s fall on 4/1/2025. 3. Conduct an accurate fall risk assessment after Resident 3 ' s fall on 1/26/2027. Resident 3. 4.

reduce blood pressure), Lisinopril (medication that lowers blood pressure), and Amitriptyline (medication used for low mood and to help sleep) which could cause drowsiness and increase the resident ' s risk of falling. LVN 1 stated if the fall risk evaluation was conducted correctly, the assessment would have indicated Resident 3 was at a higher risk for falls. LVN 1 stated that it was important to have a correct fall evaluation to identifyResident 3 ' s risk for falling and i appropriate interventions will be implemented. LVN 1 stated there was no care plan created after the fall on 2/7/2025, and placedResident 3 at higher risk of falls because there were no interventions to prevent him from falling. During a concurrent observation, interview, and record review on 4/30/2025 at 12:54 p.m., with Physical Therapy (PT), Resident 3 ' s Rehabilitation Service Screening Tool dated 2/7/2025 at 1:50 p.m., PT stated the record indicated Resident 3 rolled off the bed and the recommendation was to place bed railings, and cushion pad along bedside to reduce the risk of falls and soften fall. PT stated there were no bed railings, no cushion pads and no floor mats noted in Resident 3 ' s room. PT stated not implementing interventions could lead to additional falls and they could lead to injury and hospitalization. During a review of the facility ' s policies and procedures (P&P) titled, Fall Management System, dated 11/2021, the P&P indicated the facility should provide residents with appropriate assessments and interventions to prevent and to minimize falls and complications. The P&P indicated that the IDT would review and updated care plan and would reassess resident for fall risks.
