Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an assessment reference date of 05/27/25. This indicated the resident had
intact cognition. On the same MDS under section GG, the documentation revealed the resident needed
substantial assistance moving from sitting to standing and was dependent to walk 10 feet. The Physician's
orders for Resident #58 revealed an order for Heparin Sodium Injection Solution 5000 unit/milliliter(ml) to
inject 1 ml subcutaneously every 8 hours for DVT (deep vein thrombosis) prophylaxis for 30 days. (Heparin
is a blood thinner. Among the most common side effects of Heparin is bleeding). Record review revealed on

room and observed the resident on the floor on her back next to the front door. The resident's head was
touching the door. The resident was assessed for pain or injury and was assisted off the floor with
assistance of four staff members and into the bed. An interview was conducted with Staff H on 07/23/25 at
11:01 AM regarding Resident # 58's fall on 06/23/25. Staff H was pulling meds for the afternoon, then she
heard the resident calling her name. She walked into the room, and she saw her on the floor. Resident #58
was on her back, to the side of the wall, close to the front door of the room. She was not bleeding and
denied pain. Resident #58 said she got up to go to the bathroom and did not tell anyone she got up. The
call light was not active. Resident #58 said she hit her head but did not complain of pain. Staff H stated she
called for the charge nurse who assessed the resident. Staff H stated four of us got [Resident #58] up. She
was put back to bed and Staff H and a certified nursing assistant (CNA) changed her. Then she complained
of pain in one of the legs. They called for an x-ray. They were waiting for an x-ray. The resident had called
her daughter, and the daughter arrived at the facility within 30 minutes. The daughter evaluated her mother,
called the charge nurse and wanted her mother sent out to the hospital because Resident #58's leg did not
look right. 911 was called by a nurse and Resident #58 was transported to the hospital. An interview was
conducted with Staff J, a Registered Nurse (RN), on 07/23/25 at 2:05 PM. She stated she was one of the
staff who picked her [Resident #58] up. They could not carry her to the bed because it was too far, so they

in a wheelchair first then transferred her to bed. Staff J stated she did not notice the residents' legs were
out of alignment. However, the resident was complaining of leg pain. Staff J did not notify the Physician or
assess the resident. An interview was conducted with Staff I, RN, Charge Nurse, at 2:00 PM on 07/23/25.
She stated she saw the leg of Resident #58 and one leg was shorter than the other and based on her
judgement, she called 911. When asked if she knew that the resident hit her head, she stated she did not. If
she did, she would call 911, text the doctor, and send the resident out, especially if they were on blood
thinners. She stated she had not assessed Resident #58 until the resident's daughter came to the facility.
Staff J made the daughter aware that the resident had a fall and x-rays were ordered, but she had not been
to her room to assess her. An additional interview was conducted with Staff H on 07/23/25 at 3:10 PM, with
another surveyor present. She was asked if she was aware that Resident #58 was on Heparin. She stated
she was aware. She was asked again if she asked the resident if she hit her head. Staff H stated she asked
her, and the resident stated she did hit her head. Staff H was asked why she not told anyone that Resident
#58 hit her head, and she could not give a reason. Staff H was asked what the policy is if a resident falls
and hits their head. She stated if someone falls and hits their head, they will call 911. If it is an unwitnessed
fall, they do neuro checks. Staff H stated she did neuro checks for Resident #58 but there was no evidence
in the medical record. She stated she did vital signs at the time of the fall, but there was no evidence in the
medical record. Staff H reported she sent a message via text to the doctor to let him know that the resident
fell at 4:00 PM and they were going to do an x-ray. A message was sent to the doctor 45 minutes later that
they were sending the resident out for possible dislocated hip. Staff H was asked if the resident was
transferred to the wheelchair prior to being transferred to bed and she stated that she was. Staff H was
asked why she put the resident into the wheelchair. Staff H stated she did not remember who made the
decision to put her into the wheelchair but getting her up from the floor would be a good distance from the
bed to where she was. Staff H was asked if she had a phone conversation with the Physician to explain that
this was an unwitnessed fall and the resident stated she hit her head. Staff H stated she did not and could
not give a reason why. An interview via telephone was conducted with Staff I on 07/24/25 at 12:30 PM. Staff
I was specifically asked what prompted her to check Resident #58 after the fall on 06/23/25. She stated the
resident's daughter came to the desk and asked her if she saw the resident and she said that she did not.
Staff I went to the room and saw Resident #58's leg was rotated. She was asked if the resident was in pain
at the time of her assessment and she stated the resident was, but she was unaware if anyone gave her
pain medication. No one presented her with vital signs or neuro checks. She saw the resident
approximately 15 minutes after she was aware of the fall. She stated the primary nurse usually evaluates
the resident even though the nurse might be an LPN. A telephone interview was conducted on 07/24/25 at
1:38 PM with Resident #58's Attending Physician. When asked about the fall for Resident #58 on 06/23/25
he stated he did not recall what nurse it was that contacted him but remembered the resident had a history
of subdural hemorrhage; and she had fallen and hurt her right leg and was subsequently sent out to the
hospital. The Physician stated he basically has a protocol for any significant injury they are supposed to call
him, including head injury, hitting their head, or chest pain. If it is not an emergency, they are to just notify
him by phone (he clarified he meant by textmessage). Review of the hospital records for Resident #58
dated 06/23/25-07/11/25 revealed the resident was evaluated in the emergency room on [DATE]. A review
of the History and Physical, dated 06/23/25 revealed the resident was diagnosed with a traumatic
3-millimeter subdural hematoma, a displaced fracture of the right inferior pubic ramus, and displaced
subtrochanteric fracture of the right hip. Further review

58's fall on 06/23/25. She stated the resident went back to bed after lunch and was in bed until 3:00 PM.
Staff H explained she was sitting across from her room. Staff H went to another resident's room to see a
patient. When she was done, she went to the medication cart. Staff H was pulling meds for the afternoon,
then she heard the resident calling her name. She walked into the room, and she saw her on the floor.
Resident #58 was on her back, to the side of the wall, close to the front door of the room. She was not
bleeding and denied pain. Resident #58 said she got up to go to the bathroom and did not tell anyone she
got up. The call light was not active. Resident #58 said she did hit her head, but did not complain of pain.

daughter evaluated her mother, called the charge nurse and wanted her mother sent out to the hospital
because Resident #58's leg did not look right. 911 was called by a nurse and Resident #58 was transported

not in the documentation and it was not in any of the witness statements.An interview was conducted with
Staff J, a Registered Nurse (RN), on 07/23/25 at 2:05 PM. She stated she was one of the staff who picked

message via text to the doctor to let him know that the resident fell at 4:00 PM and they were going to do an
x-ray. A message was sent to the doctor 45 minutes later that they were sending the resident out for
possible dislocated hip. Staff H was asked if the resident was transferred to the wheelchair prior to being

call was placed to the resident's daughter on 07/23/25 at 3:52 PM. She returned the call at 5:40 PM and
stated she received a call from her mother the day of the fall stating she fell and hit her head. She arrived at
the facility around 4:40 PM. She went into her mother's room, and her mother was shaking, and she was
covered with a sheet. She lifted up the sheet and her foot was externally rotated. The daughter left the room
and spoke to the nurse in the hallway (doesn't remember the name) who said they called to get an x-ray
taken. Then she went to the charge nurse (Staff I) and asked if she called 911. Staff I asked her why, is she
injured. Staff I then went to her mother's room and saw the leg externally rotated and called 911. 911 came
and took the resident to the hospital.An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) and
the Administrator on 07/24/25 at 10:43 AM regarding Resident #58's fall on 06/23/25. The Administrator
stated she did the fall investigation. It was discussed that record review revealed there was a discrepancy in
the documented witness statement from Staff H and the interview that the surveyor had with Staff H on
07/23/25 at 11:01 AM. Staff H did not tell the Administrator that the resident hit her head. The witness
statement stated she called the MD (Medical Doctor) when she actually texted him. She did not receive
orders for a stat x-ray; she texted the Physician that they were doing an x-ray. The surveyor asked the DON
if an LPN can assess a resident. She stated that an LPN can do an evaluation, but an RN will do an
assessment. It would be expected that vital signs would be done, and neuro checks, if it were an acute
condition. It was discussed with the DON that there were no neuro checks in the Electronic Health Record
(EHR) and the only vital signs there were documented at 5:04 PM and 5:05 PM on 06/23/25, on the
transfer form. The DON was asked if she had done any training on falls with the nursing staff after this fall
incident. She stated they had training, but not since the fall incident. She was asked if she did any specific
training with Staff H post fall incident and she stated that it was not a part of the investigation. The DON
was asked why does the staff text the Physician instead of calling him, especially for an unwitnessed fall.
She stated that the physician's preferred conversation by text. The facility does not have a policy on
communication with the physician. An interview was on 07/24/25 at 11:48 AM with the Director of Rehab,
who stated she has worked in the facility for 16 years. When asked about a transfer board she said they
have a beasy board. When asked would the nurses use a beasy board, she said they would not use it. They
could use the pad from a Hoyer lift and do a 4 person lift to transfer from floor to bed, so the person stays
supine.An interview via telephone was conducted with Staff I on 07/24/25 at 12:30 PM. Staff I was
specifically asked what prompted her to check Resident #58 after the fall on 06/23/25. She stated the
resident's daughter came to the desk and asked her if she saw the resident and she said that she did not.
Staff I went to the room and saw Resident #58's leg was rotated. She was asked if the resident was in pain
at the time of her assessment and she stated the resident was, but she was unaware if anyone gave her
pain medication. No one presented her with vital signs or neuro checks. She saw the

evaluates the resident even though the nurse might be an LPN. An interview was conducted with Staff H via
telephone on 07/24/25 at 1:00 PM. She was asked again why she did not tell the Administrator that the
resident hit her head. She stated she did not know why. She was asked what type of evaluation she did at
the time she saw the resident on the floor. She stated she completed approximately 2 neuro checks and
wrote it on paper and forgot to put it in the computer.A telephone interview was conducted on 07/24/25 at
1:38 PM with Resident #58's Attending Physician. When asked about the fall for Resident #58 on 06/23/25
he stated he did not recall what nurse it was that contacted him but remembered the resident had a history
of subdural hemorrhage; and she had fallen and hurt her right leg and was subsequently sent out to the
hospital. The Physician stated he basically has a protocol for any significant injury they are supposed to call

on 07/24/25 at 2:05 PM regarding education completed for Staff H. She stated she had not done anything
yet. She will educate Staff H face to face on falls, before she does any additional shifts. Review of the
hospital records for Resident #58 dated 06/23/25-07/11/25 revealed the resident was evaluated in the
emergency room on [DATE]. A review of the History and Physical dated 06/23/25 revealed the resident was

licensed dietitian, to the extent allowed by State law.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to provide the correct therapeutic diet as
prescribed by the Physician for 1 of 16 sampled residents reviewed (Resident #69). The findings included: A
record review revealed Resident #69 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Dysphagia,
Unspecific Dementia, and Hyperlipemia. The Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) Evaluation completed
on 07/16/2025 revealed Resident #69 had a BIMS score of 15, which was cognitively intact. A review of the
Physician's orders revealed the following: No Added Salt (NAS) diet, mechanical soft texture, thin liquid
consistency dated 07/19/25, and no drinking fluids with straws dated 07/16/2025.A review of the Speech
Therapy Treatment Encounter note dated 07/19/2025 revealed that it was recommended to downgrade the
diet to mechanical soft and educate nursing regarding the diet change. In an observation conducted on
07/21/25 at 8:50 AM, revealed Resident #69 was in her room. Closer observation revealed a 24-ounce

the meal ticket and the accuracy of the diet written on the meal ticket for Resident #69.In an interview
conducted on 07/21/25 at 12:49 PM, Resident #69 stated she is on a mechanical soft diet because she has
difficulties swallowing her food.In an interview conducted on 07/21/25 at 1:10 PM with the facility's Speech
Language Pathologist (SLP), it was stated that Resident #69 has a mild oropharyngeal swallowing disorder,
and she tolerates a mechanical soft diet to make it safer and easier for her to manage. Resident #69 takes
some time to swallow her food and might have some residue left after swallowing. Resident #69's cognition
has gotten worse, and she may not be as aware of the safety issues when eating. According to the SLP,
Resident #69 can drink thin liquids but not with straws. The SLP reported changing Resident #69's diet in
the electronic system to mechanical soft and placing a written communication slip outside the main kitchen
in a designated box labeled Dietary/Nursing Communication. She also spoke to a staff member on the tray
line to let them know of the diet change for Resident #69. When asked if she told nursing about the diet
change, she said yes, but could not recall which nursing staff she reported to. The SLP stated that it might
have been after the lunch meal and before the dinner meal.In an observation conducted on 07/21/25 at
4:00 PM, Resident #69 was in her room. The closer observation showed a 24-ounce Styrofoam cup of
water with a straw inside at the bedside. In an observation conducted on 07/22/25 at 8:55 AM, Resident

communication slips are brought into the kitchen above the tray prep counter, and staff go through the
tickets and pull the residents' tickets. The communication tickets are also given to the manager on duty. The
manager on duty will then enter the updated diet change into their electronic system. The diet
communication slip for Resident #69 was given to the kitchen before the lunch tray line started on Saturday,
7/19/2025. She was not here yet, and staff took the meal tickets for Resident #69 and scratched out the
regular diet (previous diet) and wrote the updated diet of mechanical soft on the meal tickets. The CDM said
she made the diet change in the electronic system when she arrived at work and acknowledged and
printed out the new meal tickets. She was under the impression that the changes had been completed and
was not sure how this happened. In an interview conducted on July 24, 2025, at 10:30 AM with Staff G,
Certified Dietary Assistant, she reported that the 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM shift usually provides water in the
rooms. Staff G stated she did not give Resident #69 the Styrofoam cup of water with a straw inside this
morning. When asked if she is allowed to receive water with a straw, she did not have an answer.
