**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to revise care plans and implement new
interventions after falls for one (Resident #4) out of three residents reviewed for falls.
Findings included:
A review of records showed Resident #4 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia,
morbid obesity, lack of coordination, muscle wasting and atrophy, and cognitive communication deficit.
A review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], Section C, Cognitive Patterns showed
the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3, meaning she had severely impaired
cognition. Section G, Functional Status, showed the resident required extensive assistance for bed mobility.
A review of the facility's incident log showed Resident #4 had an unwitnessed fall on 7/2/23 at 8:30 a.m.
The resident had a second fall on 7/4/23 at 10:53 a.m.
A review of medical records revealed a progress note dated 7/2/23 at 9:04 a.m. This was an Initial Event
Note that showed resident #4 had an unwitnessed fall on 7/2/23 at 8:30 a.m. The event was described as
the resident was having breakfast and rolled off the bed. The resident was unable to describe the events.
The intervention of a low bed was initiated.
A review of records showed the care plan was never updated to add the low bed intervention after the fall
on 7/2/23.
The incident log showed the resident had an additional fall two days later, on 7/4/23 at 10:53 a.m. A
progress note, dated 7/4/23 at 11:01 a.m. showed the resident's family member said the resident slipped
out of bed. The physician was notified and gave an order to transfer the resident to the emergency room.
Records show the resident returned from the hospital the same day with no new orders. The care plan did
not show any interventions put in place on 7/4/23.
The Initial Event Note was entered into the record on 7/5/23 at 7:54 a.m. The note showed the resident had
a witnessed fall on 7/4/23 at 9:15 a.m. The location of event was shown as room. The resident was not able

happened to Resident #4. The note added the resident was not assisted from the floor. The resident was
noted to be able to transfer from the floor with the assistance of a mechanical lift. The last time the resident
was toileted: 7/5/23 8:00 AM. Please note the following intervention or interventions initiated: Low Bed.
A review of records showed the care plan was never updated to add the low bed intervention after the fall
on 7/4/23.
A progress note was entered on 7/7/23 at 11:01 a.m. by the Director of Nursing (DON.) The note showed
the IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) met to discuss resident being observed on the floor on 7/2/23 and 7/4/23.
Interventions include bolsters to air mattress for positioning due to poor trunk control.
As of the record review on 7/13/23, Resident #4's care plan did not include Low Bed. The resident was
observed in her bed multiple times throughout the day on 7/13/23 with her bed at a normal height, not in a
low position.
An interview was completed on 7/13/23 at 12:15 p.m. with Resident #4's family member. He stated the
resident had fallen out of bed twice. He said he was with the resident when she fell the second time. He
said he was sitting on one side of the bed and the resident slipped off the other side. He said he was
unable to get to her before she fell. He said he felt like the mattress was part of the problem.
An interview was conducted on 7/13/23 at 3:53 a.m. with the DON. The DON said bolsters were added to
Resident #4's bed on 7/5/23. She confirmed low bed was listed as an intervention that was supposed to be
put in place after the fall on 7/2/23 and 7/4/23. The DON reviewed the care plan and confirmed it was not
listed and it should have been added to the care plan by the nurse after the first fall on 7/2/23. The DON
said when a resident falls on the weekend, the nurse notified the nurse manager on call and discussed the
fall and interventions with them. The nurse could then update the care plan accordingly. She said when the
IDT met to discuss the falls, they must not have noticed low bed was not in the care plan.
A facility policy titled Fall and Injury Reduction Policy, dated March 2023, was reviewed. The policy stated
the following:
Overview:
The facility has designated and implemented processes, which strive to reduce the risk for falls and injuries.
Status post witnessed/unwitnessed fall or observed on floor event.
Serious Injury
1. If there are signs/symptoms of serious injury, provide first aide if needed.
2. Ask the resident and/or witnesses what happened.
3. Obtain vital signs and document in the medication record.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility did not ensure residents had access to call lights that
were functional for two (Residents #5 and #4) of four residents.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
1. On 07/13/23 at 10:48 a.m., Resident #5 was observed sitting on her bed. She stated sometimes it took
staff a long time to respond to her call light. The resident did not know if there was problem with the call
light or not. The Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) asked Resident #5 to activate her call light. The light
outside the resident's room did not light up. The NHA stated they would replace the bulb and audit all call
lights. The NHA confirmed if a staff was not at the nurse's station at the time the resident was calling, they
would not know the resident needed help. The NHA stated the nursing staff conduct frequent rounds.
A review of Resident #5's record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis

neuropathy, muscle wasting and atrophy. A minimum Data Set (MDS) for Resident #5 showed in Section C
a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 04, indicating severe impairment. Section G showed the
resident is dependent on staff for toilet use and hygiene and requires limited assistance of one staff
member.
2. On 7/13/23 at 12:15 p.m., an interview was conducted with Resident #4's family member. He stated he
was concerned about her ADL (Activities of Daily Living) care. He said, It takes a while for staff to answer
call bells. I document when she pushes the button and why. I don't know if [Resident #4] is capable of using
the call bell if she needed to get staff attention. The family member stated when he would visit, he was the
one that had to push it for her. He said, She also has a sacral wound that she got at another facility., but
they do not reposition her at all. He said he had been at the facility since 9:00 a.m. and she had been in the
same position. He stated when he was concerned that [Resident #4] did not have the ability to call staff for
assistance and they were not checking on her.
A review of Resident #4's record showed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a
diagnoses to include Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis, morbid severe obesity, narcolepsy, muscle wasting,
cognitive communication deficit, atherosclerotic heart disease and presence of cardiac pacemaker. An
MDS for Resident #4 dated June 5, 2023, showed a BIMS score of 03, indicating severe impairment.
Section G showed the resident was totally dependent on staff for toilet use and personal hygiene, requiring
2 person's physical assistance.
On 07/13/23 at 12:35 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff A, Occupational Therapist (OT) who was
in Resident #4's room assisting her with eating. Staff A was asked to confirm this resident's ability to use
the call light. The call light was noted with a cylinder type hand-holder with a button on top. The resident
would have to hold the cylinder on top and use her thumb to press the call button for assistance. Staff A
asked the resident if she knew how to use the call bell and the resident said no. Staff A got the resident to
put the call light in her hand and asked the resident to push the button. The resident was observed trying
multiple times with one or two hands and was unable to push the call light button. The resident held the call
light in one hand and attempted to push the button with the same hand and was unable. She then

and was unable to coordinate both hands to hold the call light and push the button. Staff A stated she had
only worked with this resident a couple of times. She stated she would speak with the nurse and see about
getting the resident a different style call light. Staff A confirmed the resident was not able to push the button
on the call light.
A review of a facility's document titled, Grievance/Concern log, dated April 2023 showed Resident #4's
family member had filed grievances on 04/07/23 and 04/10/23. A review of the grievance log dated
04/07/23 showed the family member expressed concerns about the duration of unanswered call lights and
the resident's inability to make her needs known.
On 04/07/23 at 12:48 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Social Services Director (SSD). She stated
the family member had expressed concerns related to excessive delays in answering call lights as he
watched, and [Resident #4's] inability to manipulate the call light due to physical limitations. The SSD said,
his main focus was the call light he stated she could not turn it on, and no one was checking on her. The
SSD stated her response was to the CNAs. She stated they said sometimes they were busy assisting other
residents and that was why there was a delay. She stated the nurse educated all CNAs. The NHA stated
they did not assess the resident's ability to use the call light and they did not conduct any audits. The NHA
stated they had just initiated the audits.
On 07/13/23 at 2:16 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff B, OT and Staff C, ST (Speech Therapist).
They stated therapy had assessed Resident #4 clinically, to determine if the resident had fine motor skills
and the ability to manipulate utensils which carries over to using a call light. Staff B stated their assessment
had determined the resident was able to feed herself but needed cueing for attention to the task. She stated
the resident had severe dementia. She stated the resident would need cuing to train the brain for use of a
call light. Staff B stated they did not assess the resident's ability to use the call light. She confirmed a
resident should have an equipment they are able to use.
On 07/13/23 at 2:32 p.m., an interview was conducted with the NHA. He stated the Director of Maintenance
(DOM) had conducted a full house call light audit. He stated Resident #4 had received a different style of
call light that she can operate. He stated during their audit they switched out some call lights for residents
who were not able to manipulate the call light button to one that they just squeeze the button. He stated
they had found two call lights that were not working, one in the memory care shower room and one in the
family room in the memory care unit. The NHA stated they conduct call light audits monthly but will move to
weekly audits.
On 07/13/23 at 4:15 p.m., Surveyor requested the facility's policy on call lights. The NHA stated they did not
have one.
Review of a facility policy titled, Safety and Supervision of Resident, dated 05/31/18 showed staff shall
make routine resident checks to help maintain resident safety and well-being. Residents safety, supervision,
and assistance, to prevent accidents are facility wide priorities. (3) Routine resident checks by nursing staff
involve entering the resident's room and/or identifying the resident elsewhere on the unit to determine if the
resident's needs are being met.
