Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and staff interviews the facility failed to protect the residents' right to be free from neglect for
1 (Resident #999) of 4 sampled residents by failing to ensure staff follow safety precautions while providing
care to prevent avoidable falls and fall related major injury.
The findings included:
Review of the facility's neglect investigations revealed on 4/1/25 at approximately 6:40 p.m., Certified
Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff A was providing care to Resident #999. The CNA turned the resident on his
left side to remove his brief. The resident moved more off the bed as she placed her hand on his side to
hold him he went falling. The incident investigation noted Resident #999 sustained a red discoloration to the
right side of his face and a skin tear on his right hand. Resident #999 was transferred to a local hospital and
diagnosed with an acute intra-axial hemorrhage (bleeding) within the left frontal lobe (front of the brain)
measuring 2.0 by 1.07 by 2.4 centimeters.
The investigation noted CNA staff A turned Resident #999 on his left side to remove his incontinent brief
and bed sheet. As she was placing the fitted sheet on the bed she saw the resident moving more off the
bed so she placed her hand on his side to hold him. The resident fell off the bed because his weight was
too heavy on one side. Once the resident the floor she went out into the hallway to get help.
The investigation noted the nurse arrived in the room, observed Resident #999 on his right side with a
hematoma (collection of blood outside the blood vessels) on the right side of the face.
As part of the investigation, on 4/2/25 CNA Staff A demonstrated she had the resident centered and as she
turned him, he was more toward the other side, away from her which resulted in the resident's falling as he
moved.
The facility verified the allegation of neglect and noted CNA Staff A would be terminated for failure to follow
the facility's policy and procedures related to reviewing residents [NAME] (System of communication and
organization used in nursing that helps long term care facilities document resident care summaries).
Review of the [NAME] revealed to turn and reposition Resident #999 every two hours and as needed. The
[NAME] did not specify that the resident required the physical assistance of two persons for bed mobility,
including turning and repositioning as per the Nursing admission evaluation.

Review of the staff education dated 4/2/25 noted Neglect is the failure of the facility, 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.
Review of the facility new employee education and in-service training revealed, At the start of the shift, read
the [NAME] for updated changes such as interventions in place for bed mobility, transfer status, falls,
behaviors.
Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #999 was a [AGE] year-old male with an admission date of
2/14/25. Diagnoses included right side hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body) and hemiplegia
(paralysis of one side of the body) related to Cerebral Vascular Accident, Osteoporosis, and a history of
falls.
The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (standardized tool that measures health status in
nursing home residents) with an assessment reference date of 2/21/25 documented Resident #999 was
dependent for bathing, toileting, personal hygiene and bed mobility (Helper does all of the effort, Resident
does none of the effort to complete the activity). The MDS noted Resident #999's cognitive skills for daily
decision making were severely impaired. Resident #999 was rarely/never understood.
Review of the New admission re-admission Evaluation form dated 2/14/25 revealed Resident #999 required
the physical assistance of two persons for bed mobility.
Resident #999 scored 18 on the fall risk evaluation upon admission indicating the resident was at high risk
for falls.
The care plan initiated on 3/21/25 identified Resident #999 had activity of daily living self-care performance
deficit due to, Confusion/decreased cognition, musculoskeletal impairment, stroke, and weakness.
The interventions noted the resident had an air mattress to his bed and was, dependent with rolling left to
right.
The care plan did not specify the resident required the physical assistance of two persons for bed mobility
as per the admission MDS assessment.
The care plan initiated on 3/21/25 noted Resident #999 was at risk for falls related to decreased cognition
and decreased mobility. The goal was, The risk for falls will be minimized through the next review. The
interventions included to be sure the resident's call light is within reach and encourage the resident to use if
for assistance as needed and evaluate the resident's environment to identify factors known to increase risk
of falls.
On 4/7/25 at 8:40 a.m., in an interview Unit Manager Registered Nurse (RN) Staff B said, I was in [NAME]
Garden secured unit when [Resident #999] fell. I applied ice and printed the paperwork to send him to the
hospital. He went to the hospital and did not return. He was a two person assist with care. [CNA Staff A]
said she did not have another person with her.
On 4/7/25 at 8:48 a.m., in an interview RN Staff C said she works the 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., shift on the

Level of Harm - Actual harm
On 4/7/25 at 8:52 a.m., in an interview North Unit Manager Licensed Practical Nurse Staff C said the CNAs
and nurses get resident information from the [NAME] and report from the nurse. Unit Managers and MDS
nurses mostly update the [NAME]. We received recent education to ensure the [NAME] is updated and
reviewed at the beginning of every shift.
Residents Affected - Few
On 4/7/25 at 11:05 a.m., in a telephone interview CNA Staff A said, I was working the 3:00 p.m., to 11:00
p.m., shift on 4/1/25. I had worked with Resident #999 before. I went to do my last rounds to see if he
needed to be changed. I had him positioned in bed to the left side facing the door. I realized he did not have
a fitted sheet on the bed, and I went to get one. Before I turned him on his back, flat on his back in bed. He
had an air mattress. I did the upper part of the sheet first. I had all the soiled linen and brief rolled up and
against him. I went to place the bottom of the fitted sheet on the bed and he began to roll out of the bed. I
tried to stop him but I did not make it. He fell out of bed. I saw him and I did not see any blood, so I ran to
get the nurse. When we got back to the room, there was blood everywhere. He had a skin tear to his right
arm and it was bleeding. What I did wrong was I did not roll him toward me like I should have. I always did
him by myself and no one ever told me he was a two person assist. I never knew about the care [NAME].
They told me about the [NAME] after the fact. I know you need to have two people with a mechanical lift,
but he was already in bed, I just wanted to change him. They gave education after the fact. If I had known
before, I would have had help, but no one ever told me anything about him. It all happened so fast.
Review of the Certified Nursing Aide, Competency Checkoff List revealed Staff A completed Review
[NAME] on 1/13/25.
On 4/7/25 at 11:45 a.m., in an interview the Administrator said Resident #999 was always a two person
assist. From the re-enactment with CNA Staff A, using a pillow to demonstrate, she stood at the bed and he
was in the center of the bed, she rolled him away from her and he was at the edge of the bed. I educated
her the resident needs to be closer to you so when you turn him he is not so close to the edge, do not
center the resident.
On 4/7/25 at 11:55 a.m., in an interview Occupational Therapist (OT) Staff G said Resident #999 was on
caseload when he was first admitted and he required two persons assist with all his care needs. He said
Hospice got involved and had their own therapy seeing the resident but the resident was always two
persons assist with his care.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interviews, the facility failed to ensure the safety interventions were documented in the
care plan and failed to ensure staff used safe repositioning technique to prevent avoidable fall and fall
related serious injury for 1 (Resident #999) of 4 dependent residents reviewed.
The findings included:
Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #999 was a [AGE] year-old male with an admission date of

resident's room, she observed the resident on the floor on his right side. Resident #999 had a hematoma to
the right side of the face.
Residents Affected - Few
Unit Manager Registered Nurse (RN) Staff B obtained a statement from CNA Staff A who said she always
cared for Resident #999 and has not had a problem with caring for him. She was changing the resident and
the sheets. She rolled the resident over and saw him begin to move and when she went to hold/grab him,
