**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and an interview with staff, the facility failed to notify the office of the State Long-Term Care
Ombudsman of a discharge for one (Residents #104) of three residents whose records were reviewed for
transfers/discharges, from a total survey sample of 31 residents.
The findings include:
A review of the medical record revealed that Resident #104 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and then
discharged on 12/05/24. His diagnoses included, but were not limited to, acute on chronic systolic heart
failure, cellulitis of the right limb, bacteremia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and Plural effusion.

home at 12:30 PM that day under hospice care. The resident's spouse signed the discharge papers and
reviewed the discharge medications.
A review of the resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments revealed a Discharge/Return Not
Anticipated MDS assessment with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 12/05/24, indicating a planned
discharge. The discharge location was noted as home.
Further review of the record revealed that Resident #104 received an AHCA (Agency for Health Care
Administration) Nursing Home Transfer and Discharge Notice on 12/04/24 with an effective discharge date
of 12/05/24. The reason for the discharge was noted as home with hospice services. The areas of the form

was asked to provide verification of Ombudsman notification for Resident #104. She was unable to provide

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
observations, resident and staff interviews, medical record review, and facility policy and procedure review,
the facility failed to ensure the implementation of the comprehensive person-centered care plan for one
(Resident #7) of four residents reviewed for falls, out of six residents identified for falls with major injuries,
from a total survey sample of 31 residents. Failure to implement the necessary fall interventions on a
resident's care plan places them at risk for additional falls and associated injury/pain.
The findings include:
Resident #7 was observed and interviewed on 02/27/2025 at 9:40 AM. She was lying in bed covered with a
blanket up to her chin. No fall mats were observed on the floor on either side of the bed. (Photographic
evidence obtained) Resident #7 stated she had been educated on and was encouraged to use her call light
prior to trying to get up and walk or transfer.
Resident #7 was observed a second time on 02/27/2025 at 9:55 AM. She was lying in bed with her eyes
closed. No fall mats were on the floor.
A review of the resident's face sheet revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and then
readmitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included osteoporosis, atrial fibrillation, cognitive communication
deficit, heart failure, unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbance, hypothyroidism, hyperlipidemia,
major depressive disorder, chronic pain, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), anemia,
nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of left great toe, moderate protein calorie malnutrition, and
presence of automatic cardiac defibrillator. (Copy obtained)
A review of the quarterly [NAME] Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 01/29/2025, revealed that Resident
#7 was assessed with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 10 out of 15 possible points,
indicating moderate cognitive impairment. No signs or symptoms of mood disorder or impairment in upper
or lower extremities were documented. A wheelchair was used for mobility. The resident required set-up or
supervision only for activities of daily living (ADLs), and had two or more falls since the last assessment.
(Copy obtained)
A review of the Care Plan, dated 02/11/2025, revealed the following focus areas:
The resident is at risk for falls related to impaired balance/gait, use of psychotropic medications, urinary
incontinence. Initiated 03/15/2022. Revised 01/14/2025. Goal: Potential for falls/fall-related injuries will be
minimized through next review date. Interventions included fall mats while in bed. Initiated 01/12/2025.
The resident has alteration in behavior as evidenced by refusing care at times, has impulsive behaviors,
poor safety awareness, will spontaneously get up without calling for assistance and refuses to wear
non-skid socks. Falls were documented on 08/27/2024, 9/06/2024, 10/12/2024, 10/28/2024, 12/26/2024,
12/28/2024, and 01/12/2025 x 2. (Copy obtained)
During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) A on 02/27/2025 at 10:53 AM, she looked

the resident up this morning; therapy got her up and helped her dress. She stated the resident usually has
fall mats. The resident went to breakfast, came back, got into bed, and then got up just a few minutes ago
and left her room. She did not assist the resident to get up this last time either. She stated Resident #7 liked
to get up and go back to bed throughout the day. She would prefer to be in bed all day but they encouraged
her to get up.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview with Physical Therapist B on 02/27/2025 at 11:03 AM, he stated he thought there was a
fall mat on the floor on the side of the bed nearest the window, but not one under her wheelchair. He stated
he helped the resident get dressed and go to the restroom. He then stated he recalled that there were no
fall mats down at all but there should have been. He confirmed that the resident could propel her
wheelchair independently. He did not take her to breakfast; she wheeled herself down to the main dining
room. He stated the CNAs were responsible for ensuring that the floor mats were in place.
During an interview with Resident #7 on 02/27/2025 at 12:49 PM, she was observed in bed under the
covers. Fall mats were observed on either side of the bed that looked clean and new. The resident stated
the fall mats on the floor were put down this afternoon, and it was the first time they had ever put mats
down in her room. She was asked again if they had ever placed fall mats next to her bed on the floor. She
chuckled and said, No, not ever. She stated she needed them so she would not get hurt if she fell out of
bed. She had never fallen out of bed, but she had fallen on the floor in her room.
During an interview with CNA A on 02/27/2025 at 12:53 PM, she stated she put the mats down in the
resident's room. She found them in the resident's closet next to her clothes. CNA A stated she had not put
the mats in the closet and confirmed that the mats did not belong in the closet with the resident's clean
clothing.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 02/27/2025 at 1:04 PM, she stated she was
unaware that the fall mats were not down on the floor this morning when the resident was in bed. She
stated, Well, we will do better. She confirmed that the CNAs were responsible for placing the fall mats down
for the resident's safety.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Nursing admission At Risk - Post Fall and Quarterly
