**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a fall risk care plan to meet the
medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs for one (Resident 1) of three sampled residents.
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1 experiencing injury and pain secondary to an unwitnessed fall
on 4/26/25.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's, admission Record, dated 5/7/25, showed Resident 1 was initially admitted to the
facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis (hemiplegia refers to complete
paralysis, while hemiparesis refers to partial weakness) affecting the right side, morbid obesity (a complex
chronic disease in which you have a body mass index [BMI] of 40 or higher, with normal range for adults
considered to be between 18.5 and 24.9), muscle weakness, dementia (a general term for a group of
symptoms that affect thinking, memory, and other cognitive [relating to, being, or involving conscious
intellectual activity-such as thinking, reasoning, or remembering] abilities. It's not a single disease, but
rather a collection of conditions that can damage brain cells, leading to a decline in mental function),
dysarthria (a motor speech disorder caused by weakness or lack of control of the muscles involved in
speech production), long term use of anticoagulants (medications that stop blood from clotting too easily),
and a history of falling.
A review of Resident 1 ' s, Minimum Data Set Section C (MDS-a standardized assessment tool used in
long-term care facilities to evaluate residents' health status, functional capabilities, and other relevant
information), dated 4/7/25, indicated Resident 1 had a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status - used to
identify delirium [a serious change in mental abilities, resulting in confused thinking and a lack of
awareness of someone's surroundings] and needed supports in patients living in skilled nursing facilities
and long-term care facilities) score of 9, indicating Resident 1 had moderate cognitive impairment
(MCI-cognitive deficits that significantly impact daily life. Individuals with moderate MCI experience
difficulties with memory, language, judgment, and problem-solving, often requiring assistance with
household tasks and finances. They may become confused about where they are or what is happening and
struggle with both routine and complex tasks).
A review of Resident 1 ' s, MDS - GG, dated 4/7/25, indicated Resident 1 was partially dependent (not
completely reliant on others for basic needs like bathing, dressing, or eating, but may need help with some
day-to-day activities) on facility staff for self-care, indoor mobility (the ability to move or to be moved. It can
describe a person's capacity to walk, move around, or change body position) and functional cognition (how
an individual utilizes and integrates his or her thinking and

processing skills to accomplish everyday activities in clinical and community living environments), and
experienced one-sided impairment of the upper and lower limbs. Resident 1 was reported to be wheelchair
dependent.
A review of Resident 1 ' s, After Visit Summary, dated 3/31/25, indicated Resident 1 was transferred to the
facility after a 13-day acute hospitalization due to pre-syncope (the sensation of feeling like you are about to
faint, but without actually losing consciousness), and a fall at home.
A review of Resident 1 ' s, Fall Risk Evaluation , dated 3/31/25, indicated due to past fall history,
incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine or stool), diseases, recent hospitalization and multiple
medications, Resident 1 was a high fall risk.
A review of Resident 1 ' s, SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation- a structured
communication framework used in healthcare, particularly nursing, to facilitate clear and concise
information sharing about a patient's condition or situation) Communication Form and Progress Note, dated
4/26/25, indicated Resident 1 was heard yelling for help, and was found on the floor of his bedroom.
Resident 1 displayed new onset pain evidenced by moaning, groaning and facial grimacing, and was sent
out to acute care hospital via 911 ambulance.
A review of Resident 1 ' s, After Visit Summary, dated 4/26/25, indicated Resident 1 visited the acute
hospital emergency room (AH ER) after falling and was diagnosed with a closed (where the skin is not
broken) rib fracture of the left side.
A review of fax correspondence from Granada Rehabilitation and Wellness Center to CDPH (California
Department of Public Health), dated 4/28/25, reported Resident 1 complained of unrelieved pain one day
after returning from AH ER, after administration of ordered lidocaine patch (a medication patch applied to
the skin that numbs a specific area of the body, blocking pain signals going to the brain) and Tylenol
(generic name acetaminophen- effective for mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, muscle aches,
backaches, and toothaches). The facility reported this to Resident 1 ' s physician, who ordered Resident 1
receive a stronger pain medication (Toradol-generic name ketorolac, which treats short-term moderate to
severe pain. It works by decreasing swelling) for five days.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/8/25 at 9:58 a.m., with Resident 1 in his bedroom,
Resident 1 was lying in bed on his right side, stating he was in severe pain, while groaning and grimacing.
Resident 1 was pointing and grabbing at his left side. Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) was alerted of
Resident 1 ' s condition. LVN 1 responded by assessing and administering ordered pain medication to
Resident 1.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/8/25 at 11:26 a.m. with Resident 1, Resident 1 was still
in bed, laying quietly with his CPAP ([continuous positive airway pressure] machine that treats sleep apnea
[a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts]. It keeps airways open
during sleep and delivers oxygen through a mask). Resident 1 stated he was more comfortable now, and
he was trying to rest before lunch, and did not want to talk.
During an interview on 5/8/25 at 12:15 p.m., with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated fall risk care plans were usually
initiated by nursing management when a resident was first admitted . LVN 1 stated any licensed nurse
should initiate a care plan for a new condition, or if a care plan was otherwise needed. LVN 1 stated a
nursing care plan was necessary to guide nurses in possible interventions and precautions for actual and
potential problems.

During an interview on 5/8/25 at 1:40 p.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), LVN 2 stated
Resident 1 ' s physician had ordered Tramadol (a centrally acting analgesic [pain medication that reduces
pain signals to the brain] used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain in adults) to better manage
Resident 1 ' s ongoing pain.
Residents Affected - Few
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/8/25 at 2:40 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON),
the DON stated the facility did not initiate a fall risk nursing care plan for Resident 1 prior to his unwitnessed
fall on 4/26/25. Review of nursing care plans showed a fall risk care plan for this resident was not developed
until 4/28/25. The DON stated this should not have happened, and a nursing care plan was a roadmap, of
care interventions for the care and safety of residents of the facility.
During a review of facility P & P titled, Fall Management Program, dated 3/13/21, the P & P indicated, As
part of the admission assessment, the licensed nurse will complete a fall risk evaluation. If a fall risk factor
is identified, document interventions on the Resident ' s care plan .the Interdisciplinary Treatment Team
(involves healthcare professionals from various disciplines working together to provide complete care for
residents. These teams aim to improve outcomes through collaboration, open communication, and shared
decision-making) will initiate, review and update the Resident ' s fall risk status and care plan at the
following intervals: on admission, quarterly, annually, upon identification of a significant change of condition,
post fall as needed.
