F 0689 supervision due to the increase in behavior, including continually standing up, wandering into other residents' rooms, and the resident's inability to understand safety instructions. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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.

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.
