Permit a resident to return to the nursing home after hospitalization or therapeutic leave that exceeds
bed-hold policy.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure residents who were hospitalized were permitted to
return to the skilled nursing facility (SNF-a healthcare facility that provides a higher level of care that what is
typically offered in assisted living or residential care) for one of seven residents (Resident 5) when the
facility refused to take Resident 5 back after Resident 5 was medically cleared (when a patient no longer
needs to receive inpatient care) to return to the facility from the acute care hospital (ACH-is a healthcare
facility that provides short-term, intensive treatment for patients with serious medical conditions).
This failure placed Resident 5 at risk for psychosocial harm by not allowing the resident to return to the
SNF and caused her to be transferred to a different SNF. This caused her emotional stress and repeated
request to come back to the facility.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 5's admission Record (AR- a document containing resident medical and
personal information), undated, the AR indicated, Resident 5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included dysphagia (difficulty swallowing food and or liquids) Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing) Major Depressive
disorder, (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), abnormalities of
gait and mobility,
During a review of Residents 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool used to identify
resident cognitive and physical function) assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 5's Brief Interview of
Mental status assessment (BIMS - assessment of cognitive status for memory and judgement) scored 15 of
15 (a score of 13-15 indicates cognitively intact, 08-12 indicates moderately impaired, and 00-07 indicates
severe impairment). The BIMS assessment indicated Resident 5 was cognitively intact.
During a telephone interview on 3/10/25 at 1:45 p.m. with the family member (FM), the FM stated, she was
involved in Resident 5's care. The FM stated Resident 5 had been at a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) since
5/13/24. The FM stated, Resident 5 returned home and was admitted to SNF again on 10/23/24. The FM
stated, Resident 5 was transferred to ACH on 1/30/25 from the SNF. The FM stated, she received a phone
call from an ACH staff, who informed her the SNF said there were no female beds available for Resident 5
to return. The FM stated, Resident 5 was alert and oriented and able to express her needs. The FM stated,
Resident 5 was very upset and crying because she wanted to return to the facility. FM stated, on 2/28/25
Resident 5 was discharged from acute care to a SNF in another city.

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 a comprehensive, person-centered care plan was
developed and implemented to meet the identified needs for one of six sampled residents (Resident 4)
when Resident 4 was assessed as being a fall risk, had known behaviors of standing up without staff
supervision and the facility did not put a fall risk care plan with effective interventions into place to prevent
falls.
This failure resulted in Resident 4 falling eight times, on 1/19/25, 1/23/25, 1/28/25 at 8:45 a.m., 1/28/25 at
3:17 p.m., 2/2/25, 2/4/25, 2/10/25 and 2/14/25 placing the resident at risk for significant injuries. (Cross
reference F689)
Findings:
During a review of Resident 4 ' s admission Record, undated, the admission record indicated, Resident 4
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included fracture (break in bone) of the skull,
muscle weakness, abnormalities of gait (pattern of walking) and mobility (ability to move freely), type 2
diabetes mellitus (a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing),
cognitive (relating to the mental process involved in knowing, learning, and understanding) communication
deficit (communication difficulty caused by cognitive impairment), cerebral infarction (condition where blood
flow to the brain is blocked, causing brain tissue damage), nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding
occurs within the brain tissue), traumatic subdural hemorrhage (collection of blood between the brain and
inner layer of skull) and traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (type of stroke) with loss of consciousness
(state of being awake).
During a review of Residents 4 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool used to identify
resident cognitive and physical function) assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 4 ' s Brief Interview
of Mental status assessment (BIMS - assessment of cognitive status for memory and judgement) scored 09
of 15 (a score of 13-15 indicates cognitively intact, 08-12 indicates moderately impaired, and 00-07
indicates severe impairment). The BIMS assessment indicated Resident 4 ' s cognition was moderately
impaired.
During an interview on 4/3/25 at 2:56 p.m. with CNA 6, CNA 6 stated she was familiar with Resident 4 and
had taken care of him prior to his discharge. CNA 6 stated Resident 4 was very confused, difficult to
communicate with and impulsive. CNA 6 stated Resident 4 was very weak and unable to stand safely by
himself but had behaviors of standing up suddenly and falling. CNA 6 stated Resident 4 was very confused
and did not realize how weak he was and that it was not safe for him to stand on his own. CNA 6 stated at
Resident 4 was on every 15-minute checks but still had falls. CNA 6 stated Resident 4 would have required
one on one (1:1) supervision (constant staff supervision) to prevent him from falling.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/3/25 at 3:29 p.m. with LVN 2 Resident 4 ' s falls were
reviewed. The falls were as follows:
1/19/25-Resident fell trying to get off bed
1/23/25-Resident fell getting out of wheelchair

LVN 2 stated Resident 4 was at high risk for falls because he had non-compliant behaviors, was constantly
trying to get up unsupervised, had weak legs and poor balance. LVN 2 stated Resident 4 ' s primary
language was not English which caused some communication issues. LVN 2 stated she thought he could
understand the reminders to call for help but could not retain it due to cognition. LVN 2 stated Resident 4
was stubborn and would continue to do what he wanted to do even if it was not safe. LVN 2 stated Resident
4 was never placed on 1:1 supervision, and the only way to prevent falls would have been for staff to always
stay with the resident. LVN 2 stated she would keep the resident close to the nurse ' s station when she was
sitting there, and he did not fall when she had him under constant supervision because she could redirect
him quickly. Resident 4 ' s fall risk scores (0-8 low risk, 9-15 moderate risk, 16-42 high risk) were reviewed.
Resident 4 ' s fall risk scores were reviewed as follows:
1/17/25 score 10, moderate risk for falls
1/23/25 score 14, moderate risk for falls
1/28/25 score 22, high risk for falls
1/28/25 score 20, high risk for falls
2/4/25 score 20, high risk for falls
2/10/25 score 20, high risk for falls
2/14/25 score 22, high risk for falls
LVN 2 stated Resident 4 was a moderate risk for falls when he was admitted but his fall risk increased as
he continued to have falls. Resident 4 ' s care plans were reviewed, LVN 2 stated she was unable to locate
any fall risk care plan interventions before his first fall on 1/19/25. LVN 2 stated there were no fall prevention
interventions in the care plan until his fall on 2/4/25. LVN 2 stated Resident 4 was on hourly checks, but it
was not documented on the care plan and should have been. LVN 2 stated care plans were important
because they direct the resident ' s care. LVN 2 stated care plans were used to involve the residents in their
care, indicate what interventions are needed to meet their needs, included details about the resident ' s life
including the treatments provided and physician ordered interventions.

Resident 4 ' s responsible party. FM 2 stated Resident 4 had frequent falls while at the facility and he did
not feel like the facility did enough to prevent the resident ' s falls. FM 2 stated Resident 4 was agitated
which caused him to stand up frequently and then he would fall, but he did not feel like the facility
addressed the issue and the resident kept falling.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/4/25 at 9:12 a.m. with the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated Resident 4 was a resident at the facility for one month. The ADON
stated, he had a few falls. I ' m not sure how many. Resident 4 ' s fall risk care plan was reviewed. The care
plan indicated, . Resident is at risk for falls with or without injury . unwitnessed fall on 1-19-25 . witnessed
fall on 1-23-25 . witnessed fall 2/4/25 . Unwitnessed fall 2/10/25 . Unwitnessed fall 2/14/25 . Date initiated
1/17/2025 . Will minimize risk for falls to extent possible . Date initiated: 2/4/25 . Add sensor pad [a device
used to monitor patients to ensure they do not rise from the bed or chair on their own to reduce falls] to bed
and wheelchair . Date initiated: 2/04/25 . Add to B&B [bowel and bladder program-scheduled toileting] Q
[every] 2 hours . Anticipate and meet needs . falling star program . Keep bed in low position with brakes
locked . Keep call light within reach . Keep personal items frequently used within reach . Non skid material
[flexible material used to prevent slipping] to w/c [wheelchair] . The ADON stated she was unable to find a
fall risk care plan with interventions before 2/4/25. The ADON stated Resident 4 did not have a fall risk care
plan started on admission. The ADON stated it was her expectation for a fall risk care plan to be
implemented on admission to prevent resident falls. The ADON stated care plans were used to provide
person-centered care for each resident and should have measurable objectives and the interventions
reflecting the residents ' abilities to perform ADLs and transfers. The ADON stated the cause of Resident 4 '
s falls was his need to get up. The ADON stated Resident 4 ' s need for supervision was not addressed on
the fall risk care plan. The ADON stated Resident 4 was not safe to stand up without assistance.
During a review of the facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) titled Care plans, Comprehensive
Person-Centered, dated 3/2022, the P&P indicated, . A comprehensive, person-centered care plan should
include measurable objectives and timetables to meet a resident ' s physical, psychosocial and functional
needs . A comprehensive, person-centered care plan should be developed within the seven (7) days of the
completion of the required MDS assessment . Describe the services that are to be furnished in an attempt
to assist the resident attain or maintain that level of physical, mental, and psychosocial wellbeing . When
possible, interventions should address the underlying source(s) of the problem . The interdisciplinary team
should review and updates the care plan .
The facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) titled Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, dated 2/2018 was reviewed.
The P&P indicated, . the staff will identify interventions related to the resident ' s specific risks and causes
to try to prevent the resident from falling . Environmental factors that contribute to the risk of falls . footwear
that is unsafe or absent . Resident conditions that may contribute to the risk of falls . cognitive impairment .
lower extremity weakness . functional impairments . Medical factors that contribute to the risk of falls .
neurological disorders . balance and gait disorders . implement a resident-centered fall prevention plan to
reduce the specific risk factor(s) of falls for each resident at risk or with a history of falls . If falling recurs
despite initial interventions, staff will implement additional or different interventions, or indicate why the
current approach remains relevant . If underlying causes cannot be readily identified or corrected, staff will

prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents received adequate
supervision and assistance to prevent falls for two of six sampled residents (Residents 1 and 4) when:
1. Nursing staff were aware of Resident 1's cognitive impairment (difficulties with mental processes such as
memory, attention, reasoning, and decision making), poor safety awareness, impulsive behaviors of getting
up from bed without using the call light, history of falls, and did not implement effective interventions to
prevent falls.
These failures resulted in Resident 1 suffering avoidable falls on the following dates: 9/30/24, 11/5/24,
12/9/24, 12/16/24, 12/18/24, and 2/1/25. and placed the resident at risk for injury, pain. and suffering. These
failures resulted in Resident 1's experiencing five unwitnessed falls prior to the avoidable fall on 2/1/25 with
injury, sustaining a (laceration (cut in the skin caused by an injury) above the left eyebrow requiring
transportation to the emergency department (ED) for sutures (a row of stitches holding together edges of a
wound) and avoidable pain and suffering. Resident 1 had two additional avoidable falls. Resident 1 had a
unwitnessed fall in his room on 3/11/25 sustaining a laceration to the forehead which required
transportation to the emergency department for evaluation and a additional fall in his room on 3/12/25
opening the same area to his forehead and required transportation back to the emergency department for
repair. Resident 1 was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma (pool of blood between the brain and its
outermost covering) measuring up to 11 mm (millimeters) (unit of measure) in thickness. Resident 1 passed
away on 3/17/25 at ACH from his injuries related to the fall on 3/12/25.
2. Resident 4 was assessed as being a fall risk, had poor safety awareness, impulsive behaviors of
standing while unattended and multiple falls and the facility did not implement effective interventions to
prevent falls, including adequate supervision consistent with the resident's needs, goals and care.
This failure resulted in Resident 4 falling eight times in 30 days, placing him at risk for significant injuries
and/or death.
Findings:
1. During an observation on 2/13/25 at 8:15 a.m., in Resident 1's room, Resident 1 was lying in bed with
eyes closed. Resident 1 had a sutured laceration above his left eye. Resident 1's bed was in low position,
fall mat on the floor next to bed on left side, no fall mat on right side. Call light within reach. No staff present
in the room.
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR- a document containing resident medical and
personal information), undated, the AR indicated, Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included dementia[CE2] (a group of symptoms that affect memory, thinking, and social
abilities), abnormalities of gait and mobility, and osteoarthritis (a progressive disorder of the joints, caused
by a gradual loss of cartilage).
During a review of Residents 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool used to identify
resident cognitive and physical function) assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 1's Brief

LVN 2 stated Resident 4 was at high risk for falls because he had non-compliant behaviors, was constantly
trying to get up unsupervised, had weak legs and poor balance. LVN 2 stated Resident 4's primary
language was not English which caused some communication issues. LVN 2 stated she thought he could
understand the reminders to call for help but could not retain it due to cognition. LVN 2 stated Resident 4
was stubborn and would continue to do what he wanted to do even if it was not safe. LVN 2 stated Resident
4 was never placed on 1:1 supervision, and the only way to prevent falls would have been for staff to always
stay with the resident. LVN 2 stated she would keep the resident close to the nurse's station when she was
sitting there, and he did not fall when she had him under constant supervision because she could redirect
him quickly. Resident 4's fall risk scores (0-8 low risk, 9-15 moderate risk, 16-42 high risk) were reviewed.
Resident 4's fall risk scores were reviewed as follows:
1/17/25 score 10, moderate risk for falls
1/23/25 score 14, moderate risk for falls
1/28/25 score 22, high risk for falls

2/4/25 score 20, high risk for falls
2/10/25 score 20, high risk for falls
2/14/25 score 22, high risk for falls
LVN 2 stated Resident 4 was a moderate risk for falls when he was admitted but his fall risk increased as
he continued to have falls. Resident 4's care plans were reviewed, LVN 2 stated she was unable to locate
any fall risk care plan interventions before his first fall on 1/19/25. LVN 2 stated there were no fall prevention
interventions in the care plan until his fall on 2/4/25. LVN 2 stated Resident 4 was on hourly checks, but it
was not documented on the care plan and should have been. LVN 2 stated care plans were important
because they direct the resident's care. LVN 2 stated care plans were used to involve the residents in their
care, indicate what interventions are needed to meet
