changes in the resident's medical/mental condition and/or status .

emergency contact, she reported neither she nor the resident's first emergency contact, her sister, was

stated that the resident was the one who called her to let her know that she had fallen in her room while
getting up from her wheelchair. Resident #1's daughter went on to say that she didn't understand why the
facility did not notify her nor her sister about the resident's fall, and why it was that she had to hear about
this from her Mother, who was residing in the facility, for care.

that Resident #1 indicated to Staff A that she was trying to get to her bed and her legs gave out and she sat
on the floor.
During an interview conducted on 01/05/24 at 3:50 PM with Staff A, Resident #1's assigned day nurse, she
acknowledged that Resident #1 was found sitting on the floor in her room on Tuesday 11/14/23, and she
also acknowledged that it was not documented in the medical record that Resident #1's fall had been
reported to the resident's responsible party/representative.
A telephone interview was conducted on 01/05/24 at 5:17 PM with Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN),
the day nurse assigned to Resident #1 on 11/15/23 after the resident's fall in the facility, in which she
indicated that Resident #1's daughter was updated when she visited the facility, and not beforehand,
regarding Resident #1's fall in the facility. Staff B went on to say that the resident was transferred out
non-emergency to the hospital to be evaluated after Resident #1's daughter had arrived to the facility.
Further computerized record review of the nurses' note dated 11/15/23 by Staff B, only described the action
of Resident #1 being transferred to the hospital for further evaluation; with no official physician's order on
file authorizing the hospital transfer. This note did not document that the resident's physician had been
contacted and notified of the resident's fall in the facility.

the evening of the fall Tuesday 11/14/23. Staff C also acknowledged that she made no documentation in
Resident #1's record with regards to her fall. Staff C went on to state that she vaguely remembered the
resident and her care that evening and was unable to recall any other information pertaining to this
resident.
There was no notation in the nurses' note, nor anywhere in the resident's medical record to indicate that
Resident #1's representatives had been contacted and made aware of her fall in the facility, at the time.
The DON further recognized and acknowledged during her interview on 01/05/24 at 5:30 PM that it was not
documented in the computerized medical record that Resident #1's responsible party was not notified or
made aware of the resident's fall in the facility.
