The DSD stated when a CNA from a nursing registry (business which provides CNAs as needed) was working, it was up to the licensed nurse to inform them of their assignments and give them the reports on the residents they were assigned to care for. On 10/20/17 at 1500 hours, a telephone interview was conducted with CNA 1. CNA 1 was assigned to care for Resident 1 on 9/22/17, when the fall occurred.

CNA 1 stated she was cleaning and changing Resident 1 at the time of the accident. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 was trying to help by turning to her side, but she accidentally rolled too far and fell off the bed onto the floor. On 11/13/17 at 1420 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 was the licensed nurse assigned to Resident 1 on 9/22/17, when the fall occurred.
