**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on resident and staff interviews, medical record reviews and a facility policy review, the facility failed to protect the resident's right to be free from neglect by leaving the resident unattended during incontinent care and not adequately training staff in resident care, thereby allowing the resident to fall off the bed which resulted in a serious injury for 1 Resident, (Resident #1), of 3 residents reviewed for neglect. The findings included:Review of the facility's policy for Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation and Misappropriation effective 11/30/2014 and last revised 11/16/2022 stated, It is inherent in the nature and dignity of each resident at the center that he/she be afforded basic human rights including the right to be free from abuse, neglect, mistreatment, exploitation and/or misappropriation of property . Neglect is the failure of the center, its employees or service providers to provide goods and services to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish or emotional distress. Examples include failure to take precautionary measures to protect the health and safety of the residents.It was reported on November 12, 2025, that Resident #1 was receiving incontinent care by Staff A, CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). Staff A, CNA admitted to leaving Resident #1's bedside to dispose of brief and to get towels. Staff A, CNA left Resident #1 lying on her side on the edge of the bed unattended. Resident #1 fell off the bed and obtained a laceration to her head and subdural hematoma (bleeding in the brain) requiring a higher level of care.Medical record review revealed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis including Heart Failure, Atrial Fibrillation, Repeated Falls, Hypothyroidism, Obesity, Hypertension, Aortic Stenosis with insufficiency, Mood disorder, cardiac pacemaker, and Dementia.The Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) Assessment completed on 8/22/2025 revealed a score of 5/15 which indicates severely impaired cognition.The Care Plan Report provided by the facility in effect during the time of Resident #1's fall revealed a requirement that included rolling resident from side to side, side to back, and dependent with 1-2 staff assist.Record review for Resident #1 showed a Nursing Progress Note dated 11/12/2025 at 10:35 a.m., which stated, CNA notified this nurse that resident is on the floor. Upon entry, resident is laying on the floor between bed A&B. A pool of blood observed by resident's head Resident #1 was transferred to hospital via EMS at approximately 10:30 a.m.The facility conducted an investigation of Resident #1's fall. The investigation included a witness statement given by Staff A, CNA which read, I was cleaning up Resident #1 and as I threw away her soiled diapers I went to search for a towel in one of the cabinets. She was on her side the whole time. I didn't have any problems cleaning her before, so I assumed she was OK. She then immediately said she was sliding off the bed. I turned around to help her, but I couldn't reach her in time, and she slid off the bed and fell down. I immediately grabbed the nurse, and I started to help with towels.On 11/24/2025 at 1:06 p.m., during a telephone interview with Staff A, CNA said he was cleaning Resident #1 when he turned away for just a second to throw away her brief and she fell out of bed.

that he didn't know her very well and was not aware that she required a one to two person staff assist with turning and repositioning. He said before she fell, he hadn't been trained to look up how to find specific information about residents in the Kardex (Computer program accessible by CNA's to access patient information).On 11/24/2025 at 12:30 p.m., during an interview the APRN (Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioner), said he was not present when Resident #1 fell out of bed, but the nurse immediately came and got him. When he saw the resident, she was lying on her back and bleeding from her head. He said Staff A, CNA, was providing care when the resident rolled out of bed. The resident was on blood thinners, so they transferred her out immediately to a higher level of care. She was in the hospital for a couple of days and then returned to the facility. She had a diagnosis of non-surgical subdural hematoma.On 11/24/2025 at 3:48 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) said that Staff A, CNA, was performing incontinent care when he went to dispose of a brief and wash his hands. She said Staff A, CNA left the patient laying on her side on the edge of the bed and staff are supposed to ensure residents are in safe position prior to leaving bedside. The Resident was not left in a safe position and this is when Resident #1 fell out of bed. The DON could not verify that Staff A, CNA, had received training for the Kardex prior to Resident #1's fall. She said, I did the training after the fall.On 11/24/2025 at 3:55 p.m., the facility Administrator said he was aware that Resident #1 had received an injury during care but the staff member followed the residents care plan.
