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
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure an extended floor mattress (a thicker safety mat [a
floor pad designed to help prevent injury should a person fall] designed to provide cushion and protection in
the event of a fall) was placed on the floor next to the bed for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1)
who was assessed at high risk for falls and who had a history of falling, per Resident 1 ' s Care Plan dated
3/5/2025
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1 experiencing an unwitnessed fall (4/25/2025) and being found
on the floor without an extended floor mattress in place as care planned (3/5/2025). This deficient practice
had the potential to result in Resident 1 sustaining aninjury.

responded to Resident 1 ' s bed alarm and found Resident 1 lying on the floor on the right side of her bed.
The Nurses Notes indicated there was no extended mattress on the floor on the right side of Resident 1 ' s
