F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure residents will remain free from falls for 2 of 2 residents reviewed for falls (Residents #58 and #59). The findings included: Review of the facility's policy, titled Fall Prevention Program, date revised 01/2022, revealed the following: Definition of a fall is an event in which an individual unintentionally comes to rest on the ground, floor, or other level, but not as a result of an overwhelming external force. The event may be witnessed, reported, or presumed when a resident is found on the floor or ground, and can occur anywhere. When any resident experiences a fall, the facility will: Assess the resident, complete a post fall assessment, complete an incident report, notify the physician and family, review the resident's care plan and update as indicated, document all assessments and actions, obtain witness statements in the case of injury. 1) During the initial tour of the facility, the surveyor knocked on Resident #58's door on 06/27/22 at 9:36 AM. There was initially no answer, so the surveyor knocked again. The surveyor thought she heard someone asking for help. The surveyor opened Resident #58's door and found the resident with her legs and bottom on the floor and her head and arms on the bed. There was a wheelchair on Resident #58's right-hand side, and she was holding a cane in her right hand (which was on the bed). Resident #58 appeared to be in distress and asked the surveyor for help getting back into her bed. The surveyor saw an aide in the hallway and told the aide that Resident #58 needed help. The aide and a second staff member helped Resident #58 back into bed. The surveyor returned to Resident #58's room on 06/27/22 at 9:47 AM to interview her; at that time, she was in bed and covered with a blanket. Resident #58 stated to the surveyor, I feel sick all over, but was unable to answer any specific questions or give any further information to the surveyor. Resident #58 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #58 had a medical history of dementia, cerebral atherosclerosis, psychosis, falls, anxiety, depression, restlessness/agitation, end stage degenerative disease of the nervous system (for which she is on Hospice). An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) was completed on 05/02/22 which documented that Resident #58 had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 8, which indicates moderately impaired cognition. For functional status, this MDS showed Resident #58 required extensive assistance from one staff member for bed mobility, transfers, locomotion, dressing and total dependence of one staff member for toileting and personal hygiene. Resident #58 had a Care Plan in place regarding falls with interventions that included for staff to anticipate and meet needs, ensure call light is within reach, and offer and assist with toileting promptly. Resident #58 did not have any specific orders regarding fall risk status besides an order written (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105083 If continuation sheet Page 5 of 18 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105083 B.

F 0689 on 04/22/22 for her bed to be in the low position while the resident is in bed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm An initial Morse Fall Scale was completed on 04/22/22 which documented that Resident #58 was at high risk for falling. Residents Affected - Few During the subsequent days of the survey, the surveyor noted that no documentation was done regarding the fall suffered by Resident #58 on 06/27/22. No orders were written for neurological checks. No incident notes were written and no neurological evaluations or fall risk assessments were completed. All subsequent observations made by the surveyor (06/28/22 at 8:30 AM, 06/28/22 at 10:30 AM, 06/29/22 at 8:30 AM, 06/29/22 at 11:46 AM, 06/29/22 at 1:50 PM, 06/30/22 at 9:22 AM) were of Resident #58 in her bed. An interview was conducted on 06/30/22 at 9:30 AM with Staff B, Registered Nurse. The surveyor asked if Staff B knows the facility's policy regarding neurological checks and incident notes following a fall. She replied that both neurological checks and incident notes should be completed for 72 hours. The surveyor asked for clarification, if these should be completed one time per day or on each shift for 72 hours. She replied these should be documented on each shift for 72 hours. The surveyor asked Staff B if she was working on 06/27/22 and Staff B confirmed that she was working day shift that day. When asked specifically about Resident #58 and her fall on 06/27/22, Staff B stated she did not remember being told by any staff members that Resident #58 had a fall on that day. An interview was conducted on 06/30/22 at 9:34 AM with Staff C, Certified Nursing Assistant. Staff C confirmed that she was the staff member in the hallway whom the surveyor asked to assist Resident #58 back into bed on 06/27/22. When the surveyor asked if she told Staff B about Resident #58's fall that morning, Staff C said she did not tell Staff B, but she did tell the floor supervisor and that the supervisor said she was going to tell Staff B about the fall. An interview was conducted on 06/30/22 at 9:37 AM with Staff D, Nursing Supervisor. Staff D confirmed that she was working day shift on 06/27/22. The surveyor asked if she remembered Staff C telling her about Resident #58 falling the morning of 06/27/22; she said yes, she did remember Staff C telling her about the fall. The surveyor asked if she remembered telling Staff B about Resident #58's fall; she said she does remember telling Staff B about the fall. Due to a breakdown in communication between the staff members, Resident #58 suffered a fall on 06/27/22 which was not properly relayed to her nurse. Because of this, the doctor was never notified of the fall, Resident #58 was never properly assessed post fall, and the fall was not properly documented in Resident #58's medical chart. 2) During the initial tour of the facility and initial interview of Resident #59 on 06/27/22 at 10:05 AM, Resident #59 told the surveyor that she had suffered a fall the night before, on 06/26/22. The surveyor observed that Resident #59 had lots of bruising on her arms. Resident #59 told the surveyor that she was taking a blood thinner. Resident #59 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #59 had a medical history of diabetes, kidney disease, pressure ulcers, hypertension, mini strokes, blood clots, psychosis, and cancer. A Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) completed on 05/03/22 documented that Resident #59 had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating she was cognitively intact. For functional status, this MDS showed Resident #59 required limited assistance from one staff member for bed (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105083 If continuation sheet Page 6 of 18 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105083 B.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few mobility, transfers, toileting, personal hygiene; independent for locomotion and eating; and extensive assistance from one staff member for dressing. Resident #59 had a Care Plan in place regarding her fall risk status. This was updated on 06/26/22 after she suffered her fall. The written interventions included for staff to offer and assist with frequent toileting, observe Resident #59 for low blood pressure, anticipate and meet needs, ensure call light is within reach, remind Resident #59 to call staff for assistance with transfers and toileting, neurological checks for 72 hours, monitor/document/report to doctor for 72 hours (pain, bruising, mental status changes, new onset confusion or sleepiness). Orders were written on 06/26/22 for x-rays of the lower extremities, knees, tibias & fibulas, ankles, wrists, and left shoulder. Orders were also written on 06/26/22 for neurological checks and post fall incident notes to be written every shift for 72 hours. On 06/28/22, orders were written for wound care to be done for Resident #59's right forearm, right knee, and left shin. An Incident Note was written on 06/26/22 at 11:20 PM which stated the following: Resident observed sitting on the floor.

A Neurological Check List was documented on 06/26/22 at 5:00 PM. A Morse Fall Scale was documented on 06/26/22 at 5:00 PM which showed the resident is at high risk for falling. A Post Fall Checklist was started on 06/26/22, but under Status, it said errors, so the surveyor was unable to review this document. A Skin Observation Tool was completed on 06/26/22 at 11:40 PM, which documented the new skin tear to right elbow and right knee (these were not noted on the previous Skin Observation Tool which was done on 06/21/22).

However, this does not satisfy the physician's order for Incident Notes to be documented every shift for 72 hours post fall. A second Neurological Check List was documented on 06/28/22 at 11:24 PM. However, this does not satisfy the physician's order for Neurological Check Lists to be documented every shift for 72 hours post fall.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm The Enteral Nutrition assessment dated [DATE] showed that Resident #416 was started on tube feeding Glucerna (formulary) 1.2 at 45 milliliters an hour times 12 hours. It also showed that the Resident would be provided with 3 meals a day, and the tube feeding rate would be increased if her intake of meals is poor. In this assessment, Resident #416 remained at risk for altered nutrition and hydration status. Residents Affected - Few A review of the Physician's orders showed an order for auto flashes enteral tube water with 30 ml times 16 hours dated 06/23/22. Enteral feeding order with Glucerna 1.2 at 65 ml an hour times 12 hours dated 06/23/22. A Nutrition Progress note dated 06/22/22, 6 days after the severe weight loss was identified, showed the following: significant weight loss of 6 percent in 1 week and current tube feeding formula Glucerna 1.2 at 45 ml times 12 hours. In this note, Staff J, Clinical Dietitian, recommended increasing the tube feeding rate to 65 ml an hour times 16 hours due to poor intake of meals. A Nutrition Progress note dated 06/24/22 showed a significant weight loss of 10 percent in 2 weeks for Resident #416. Resident #416's intake of meals, and tube feeding tolerance will be monitored. A progress note dated 06/28/22 showed that the Resident communicated via writing with the Clinical Dietitian. She reported that she could not swallow and prefers being on a continuous tube feeding protocol. A review of the Physician's orders showed an order for tube feeding Glucerna 1.2 at 65 ml an hour times 12 hours that was ordered on 06/23/22. This was 7 days after the severe weight loss was identified. The care plan initiated on 06/13/22 showed that Resident #416 has the potential for dehydration and fluid deficit. She is in increased need of assistance with malnutrition and failure to thrive. It further showed that Resident #416 would maintain adequate nutrition and hydration. An interview was conducted on 06/30/22 at 10:00 AM with Staff J and Staff K, Clinical Dietitians. They reported that high-risk nutrition residents are the ones who are on tube feeding, have a poor appetite, and have weight loss. The weights are taken by restorative staff and given to them to enter the electronic system. This way, they can catch any weight loss as soon as possible. Staff J stated that any resident on a tube feeding with weight loss should be addressed within 48 hours. Any recommendations for tube feeding changes are placed in the electronic system pending physicians' approval. He further said that since Resident #416 went to the hospital for 1 day, he missed her coming back and assessing the weight loss. Staff K reported that Resident #416 is not eating her meals, which is why they changed the tube feeding rate and timing.
