review of facility policy and procedures, record review, and staff interviews, the facility failed to accurately

(Resident #4) of 3 residents reviewed who were identified as being at risk for falls and sustained multiple
falls at the facility, including a fall with injury requiring the resident's transfer to a higher level of care.
The findings included:
A review of the facility policy and procedure, Falls Prevention program, stated that each Resident will be
assessed for fall risk and will receive care and services in accordance with their individualized level of risk
to minimize the likelihood of falls.

which noted the resident was getting out of the shower and apparently fell and hit her head. The resident
seemed a bit confused. The resident's friend stated the resident was unable to take care of herself alone

The admission MDS assessment was inaccurate and noted Resident #4 did not have a fall any time in the
last month prior to admission.
The fall risk evaluation tool utilized by the facility noted to assess the resident status. If the total score is 10
or greater, the resident should be considered high risk for potential falls. Prevention protocol should be
initiated immediately and documented on the care plan.
The fall risk evaluation dated 6/14/22 for Resident #4 was inaccurate and noted the resident had no history
of falls in the past three months. Resident #4 scored 8 on the fall risk evaluation.
The care plan initiated on 6/14/22 identified Resident #4 as at risk for falls and fall-related injuries related to
impaired mobility. Interventions were documented as anticipate needs, provide prompt assistance, ensure
call light is within use and encourage use for assistance with standing, transferring, ambulation; follow
facility fall protocol; invite, encourage, remind, escort to activity program; keep frequently used items within
reach; review information on past falls and attempt to determine cause of falls; record possible root causes,
alter, remove and potential causes if possible. The care plan also noted the resident was at risk for
decreased ability to perform activities of daily living related to impaired mobility, recent illness, and
hospitalization, including transfer, and

On 7/11/22, a facility incident report noted Resident #4 was found on the floor next to the bed with a
hematoma (blood collection in the tissues) to the forehead, and a laceration to the nose. The Resident was
confused (as was reported at shift change) and complained of right hip discomfort. The Resident was
unable to describe what happened. The Resident was transferred to the local hospital for evaluation and
possible sutures. The predisposing situation factors included, Ambulating without Assist.
The physician progress note from the local hospital dated 7/11/22 noted the resident was seen at 10:32
a.m. for an injury to the face. The injury occurred just prior to arrival. Staff told EMS (Emergency Medical
Services) that while she was putting on her pants she missed her leg and fell forward onto her face causing
a laceration to bridge of the nose and a hematoma on the central forehead. The decision was made on
7/11/22 at 2:12 p.m. to discharge the resident to the facility.
On 6/7/23 review of the investigation dated 7/11/22 showed witness statements noting staff found the
resident on the floor on 7/11/22 at 7:50 p.m. and the nurse assessed the resident on 7/11/22 at 8:53 p.m.
On 6/7/23 the DON provided a statement from the physician which noted the Cerebellar infarct, which was
new, but the timeline couldn't tell if it was pre-fall or a result of the fall. This pathology would have caused
the fall and contribute to subsequent falls, as her ability to balance would have been lost .
On 6/7/23 at 4:11 p.m., the DON said, We don't have any witness statements for the morning fall. The
witness statements we have are null and void. She said the nurse who was on duty at the time of the fall did
not write an incident report. She said there was no report of the incident from the day shift at all. The DON
said, We know she was found face down on the floor, but we don't know how she got there. Last rounds are
usually done at 6:00 a.m., but I am not able to access records to confirm last care.
