Based on observation, record review, review of the facility's policies, staff, and resident interview the facility
failed to have documentation of analysis of falls to implement appropriate interventions to prevent avoidable
falls and fall related injuries for 3 residents (#17, #48, #76) of 4 residents reviewed who sustained falls at

The findings included:
A review of the facility policy and procedure, Falls Policy, revised 7/29/2022 stated, The intent of this policy
is to ensure the facility provides an environment that is free from accident hazards over which the facility
has control to prevent avoidable falls.
The policy further states, all residents will have a comprehensive fall risk assessment on admission,
quarterly, annually and with significant change in condition.
Appropriate care plan interventions will be implemented and evaluated as indicated by assessment. A
comprehensive care plan will be implemented based on fall risk evaluation score with an individual goal and
interventions specific to each resident.
The care plan will be reviewed following each fall, quarterly, annually and with each significant change. The
facility fall guidelines stated if a fall occurs the following actions will be taken, evaluate the resident including
neuro-checks, pain assessment, range of motion, skin, joint, extremities and vital signs. Neuro-checks x
(for) 72 hours will be initiated for all unwitnessed falls. Once resident is stabilized nurse will conduct a Fall
Huddle will all staff working on that hallway. Interventions must be initiated. Enter residents name on
24-hour report for minimum of 72 hours for follow up charting on every shift.

cognitive impairment.
Review of fall documentation showed resident #76 sustained a fall at the facility on 8/30/22, 9/5/22,

Review of the progress notes revealed documentation on 11/18/22 at 10:55 a.m., the Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA) notified the nurse the resident was agitated and trying to get out of bed repeatedly. While
checking for the resident's PRN (as needed) order the CNA approached her and said the resident had

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
11/30/22:135.0 lbs.
Residents Affected - Few
On 11/30/22 at 9:49 a.m., a phone interview was conducted with the Registered Dietitian (RD). The RD
said Resident #50 experienced a 7.6 pounds weight loss from September 2, 2022, to October 18, 2022,
and lost another 5.6 pounds as of 11/30/22. The RD identified the weight loss as severe and said Resident
#50 should be on weekly weights and supplements. The RD said she documented her recommendations
and findings on her notes on 11/21/22 but did not inform the physician of the weight loss. She said, I
missed this one completely. The Dietitian said she assessed the resident and recommended health shakes
and nursing had not contacted the physician to order the shakes as of now. She verified the nursing staff
did not obtain weekly weights for Resident #50 as per her recommendation.
On 11/30/22 at 10:10 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) said she was not aware of Resident #50's
significant weight loss. The DON said when a resident experiences significant weight loss, the expectation
is to put interventions in place to encourage weight gain.
