interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a high fall risk resident received timely post-fall
assessment, pain management, and emergency medical intervention in accordance with professional
standards of practice and the resident's comprehensive, person-centered care plan for one of four residents
reviewed for falls, of a total sample of five residents, (#1).Findings: Review of resident #1's medical record
dated 11/11/25 through 11/13/25 revealed she was admitted to the facility from an acute care hospital on
[DATE] for short-term rehabilitation. Her diagnoses included Alzheimer's dementia, osteoporosis, chronic
kidney disease, and a history of falls. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set assessment dated
[DATE] showed the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 4 out of 15, indicating severe
cognitive impairment. The assessment revealed the resident required supervision and assistance for
mobility and transfers. She was identified by the facility as a high fall risk. Review of resident #1's physical
therapy notes dated 11/12/25, revealed she was admitted with weakness and mobility deficits. Physical,
occupational, and speech therapy services were initiated on 11/12/25. Therapy documentation dated
11/12/25 indicated the resident required assistance at all times to participate in therapy. A nursing progress
note dated 11/12/25 at approximately 10:15 PM, revealed Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) A found the
resident on the floor in her room with her head facing the bathroom and her left leg turned inward. On
11/12/25 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) B documented in a progress note she and two CNAs assisted the
resident from the floor back into bed by picking her up off the floor. An in-turned leg after a fall may indicate
the need for medical attention and appropriate treatment, (retrieved from www.hopkinsmedicine.org on
12/23/25). Review of a progress note dated 11/12/25 revealed LPN B documented further that resident #1
could move one leg but had limited movement of the other leg. The nurse assessed the resident's pain as 4
out of 10, and she documented she placed a pillow for comfort. The record contained no documentation of
a full post-fall assessment or neurological assessment of resident #1. Additionally progress notes starting
11/12/25 showed that between approximately 10:30 PM and 1:00 AM on 11/13/25, in a time span of two
and a half hours, multiple attempts were made by nursing staff to contact the on-call provider without
success. A progress note written on 11/13/25 indicated the Licensed Practical Nurse contacted a portable
X-ray service; however, she documented the service was unavailable until later in the day. Review of the
Medication Administration Record from November 2025 revealed Tramadol was administered at
approximately 1:25 AM on 11/13/25, over three hours after the fall. There was no documentation that
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) were contacted during this time. A progress note dated 11/13/25 at
approximately 2:20 AM, documented by LPN B indicated the on-call provider returned the call and ordered
the resident to be transferred to the hospital. The note detailed EMS was called and the resident was
transported to the hospital, over four hours after the fall occurred. On 12/17/25 at 10:15 AM, CNA A stated
she found the resident on the floor at night on 11/12/25 and assisted in helping the

resident back into bed. She confirmed the resident appeared to be in pain following the fall. On 12/17/25 at
10:45 AM, in an interview with LPN B, the nurse stated she assessed the resident after the fall, noted
limited movement of one leg, and attempted multiple times to contact the on-call provider. The nurse stated
she did not call 911 because she believed a provider order was required, even though she had noted the
resident's leg was visibly turned inward after the fall. She did not say why she did not document a post fall
assessment or a neurological assessment was completed. On 12/16/25 at 2:00 PM, in a phone interview,
resident #1's daughter stated she was notified that her mother had fallen and was later informed she was
being sent to the hospital. The daughter stated she was concerned that her mother remained in the facility
for four hours after she had fallen and broken her hip. The daughter said the facility could not explain why it
took so long to send her mother to the hospital for an emergency evaluation. The daughter expressed her
displeasure with facility's delay in arranging higher-level care for her mother. On 12/17/25 at 3:00 PM, in a
joint interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) and Assistant Director of Nursing, they acknowledged it
was over four hours for the resident to be transported to the hospital. The DON confirmed licensed nurses
should use their nursing judgment whether a resident needed to go the hospital and did not have to wait for
a physician's order.
