F 0600 Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview, the facility neglected to provide appropriate care and services to prevent a pressure injury for a vulnerable and physically impaired resident and failed to complete a thorough investigation for neglect after a worsening pressure injury for 1of 4 residents sampled for pressure ulcers, of a total sample of 17 residents, (#3). The facility's failure to implement preventative interventions, ensure timely and adequate treatments for pressure injuries and complete a thorough investigation for neglect resulted in actual harm, for one dependent resident who was deemed at risk for development of wounds. Resident #3 acquired a pressure injury in the facility that was not treated for 10 days after it was identified which caused the wound to worsen. Resident #3 suffered severe wound infections and sepsis that required hospitalization. He later died on hospice services. Findings: Resident #3 was an [AGE] year-old male, admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included lung abscess with pneumonia, Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, type 2 diabetes, prostate cancer, cognitive communication deficit, and urinary retention. The medical record indicated resident #3's skin was intact when he was admitted to the facility. Resident #3 was discharged to an acute care hospital on [DATE]. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Discharge, Return Anticipated assessment with assessment reference date of [DATE] revealed resident #3 had severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision-making. The document indicated he did not exhibit any behavioral symptoms or reject evaluation or care necessary to achieve his goals for health and well-being. The assessment revealed the resident required moderate to maximum assistance with activities of daily living (ADL) and moderate assistance to roll side to side and sit up in bed. Section H of the assessment indicated he was always incontinent of bowel movements. The MDS assessment revealed resident #3 had one unhealed Stage III pressure ulcer not present on admission to the facility. In an interview on [DATE] at 9:05 AM, the MDS Coordinator clarified resident #3 actually had a stage IV pressure ulcer upon his discharge from the facility. A Change in Condition dated [DATE] documented the resident was observed with an open area on the right buttock. The note indicated the physician gave orders for nursing staff to follow up with the wound care team. A progress note dated [DATE] at 7:51 PM, read the resident was observed with an open area on the right buttocks and the wound care team was consulted. The note indicated the primary care physician was notified. Review of the medical record revealed resident #3 did not receive treatment for the open wound for another 10 days, until [DATE]. Additionally, the record reflected resident #3 had no documentation that treatments were completed for 8 of the 18 days in which he had orders for daily treatments to the wound in the Treatment Administration Record.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few On [DATE] at 5:44 PM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) B recalled resident #3 as confused but he pleasant and friendly. She remembered she tried to keep him on his side but when she didn't have him on her assignment, he would always be on his back unless he was in the chair. She indicated she even talked to the night shift staff to try to keep him off his back because it went from a tiny little area to a bigger area in three days while she was off. The family spent a long time here and were concerned about his wound. On [DATE] at 12:20 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) E stated CNA B notified her resident #3 had a wound. She recalled she then informed the wound care nurse, and the Advance Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). RN E remembered he had no wounds on his bottom,then she was off a few days and when she came back he had the open wound there. She said, He did not have an air mattress on the bed when the wound was discovered. She stated he had poor nutrition which could affect his skin or a wound. She said his wife was at his bedside when the wound was discovered. On [DATE] at 3:50 PM, the Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), and the Regional Nurse Consultant (RNC) reviewed notes from the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) meeting held on [DATE]. They indicated the discussion included skin checks and dressing changes. The DON stated a facility wide audit was conducted to ensure all residents had an up-to-date skin assessment and wound dressing changes. The plan was to educate 100% of nurses, educate the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) and Unit Managers. The DON/designee would complete 5 random audits 5 times a week for 4 weeks, then weekly for 4 weeks, then monthly for 2 months. A Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) was initiated on [DATE] regarding pressure wounds. The DON stated they did additional education regarding documentation and expectations for the nurses. For CNAs the education included the expectation to look at the resident's skin each time care was provided and notify nurses of changes they observed. The DON explained the facility did audits to ensure dressings were changed and documentation supported the change as well. She added an ad hoc QAPI meeting was held and a PIP was developed and implemented for pressure wounds. The DON was unable to say why resident #3 was not included in the PIP or on any audits for pressure wounds. The RNC stated they revised the PIP on [DATE] and were still working on it. The Administrator stated that on [DATE], the facility was informed by the Department of Children and Families (DCF) there was an allegation of neglect. Review of the investigation regarding the neglect complaint for Resident #3 included the following information: On [DATE], the Administrator interviewed the Wound Care nurse. She stated she last saw resident #3 with the wound care physician on [DATE]. She stated he had a stage IV sacral wound and the current treatment in place was a calcium alginate dressing with moistened gauze with Dakins solution. She further stated the treatments were being following according to the physician orders. The wound was determined to be stable at that time. On [DATE], the Rehabilitation Director was interviewed by the Administrator. He stated resident #3 received physical, occupational and speech therapy while in the facility. However, in spite of rehabilitation interventions, he did not demonstrate significant functional progress, attributable to the effect of multiple comorbidities. He stated the resident was not ambulating upon admission to the facility. He further stated that aggressive rehabilitation to achieve ambulation was neither practical, safe or appropriate, so it was not implemented. He said, a head-to-toe skin assessment was completed by the DON on [DATE]. No new skin impairments were identified. The Administrator said the investigation found that review of the medical record revealed resident #3 was evaluated by the wound care physician on [DATE], 13 days after the wound was identified by (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105888 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 17 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105888 B.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few CNA B and the primary care physician verbally ordered a wound consult. A wound debridement was performed on the sacral wound at that time and new orders were given for a calcium alginate dressing. The next week on [DATE], the resident was again reevaluated by the wound care physician and noted the wound continued to decline. No new treatments were ordered at that time. On [DATE], the resident was seen by the primary care physician and new orders were given for antibiotics for a suspected urinary infection. On [DATE], the resident was seen by the wound care physician and the wound was noted to be stable. The wound care physician discussed hospice services with the family at bedside. On [DATE], the resident was seen by the physician and the daughter was at bedside and requested the resident be transferred to the hospital for urinary catheter exchange and wound care. The physician expressed the resident did not need to be transferred because he was currently being treated but the daughter insisted the patient transfer to the hospital. He said the allegation was refuted by evidence collected during the investigation. Based on interviews from facility staff members and residents, it was unable to be determined that the allegation of neglect occurred the Administrator said. On [DATE] at 3:50 PM, the DON stated the revised PIP included looking at physician orders for treatment, review of the care plan, physically checking the resident, and documentation to support that everything was done. The investigation read that no new orders were given but review of resident #3's medical record revealed new orders for treatment were given every week when the wound care physician saw him. The investigation revealed only the wound nurse and Director of Rehabilitation were interviewed as to the neglect concerns. There were no interviews with the assigned nurses or CNAs who took care of the resident regarding his wound or the care given. The DON stated the wound nurse did not attend the ad hoc meeting on [DATE]. She was not able to explain why the wound nurse was not in attendance. On [DATE] at approximately 4:15 PM, the NHA acknowledged not providing wound care for resident #3 was neglect. She also acknowledged a thorough investigation and review of resident #3's chart was not conducted.

Findings: 1. Resident #3 was an [AGE] year-old male, admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include abscess of lung with pneumonia, Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, type 2 diabetes, prostate cancer, difficulty walking, cognitive communication deficit, and urinary retention. The medical record indicated resident #3's skin was intact when he was admitted to the facility. The record indicated resident #3 was discharged to an acute care hospital on 5/08/24. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Discharge Return Anticipated assessment with assessment reference date of 5/08/24 revealed resident #3 had severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision-making. The document indicated he did not exhibit any behavioral symptoms or reject evaluation or care necessary to achieve his goals for health and well-being. The assessment revealed the resident required moderate to maximum assistance with activities of daily living and moderate assistance to roll side to side and sit up in bed. Section H revealed he was always incontinent of bowel movements. The MDS assessment revealed resident #3 had one unhealed Stage III pressure ulcer not present on admission to the facility. In an interview on 6/19/24 at 9:05 AM, the MDS Coordinator clarified resident #3 actually had a stage IV pressure ulcer upon his discharge from the facility. Review of the comprehensive care plan dated 4/04/24 included focus items for a potential for pressure injury. Review of the medical record revealed the resident was found to have an actual pressure injury on 4/10/24. Review of the medical record revealed this pressure injury progressed from a stage II to a stage IV over the 27 days between 4/10/24 and 5/07/24. The care plan was never updated to reflect resident #3's actual pressure injury or any new or correlating interventions. All interventions listed were for prevention of a pressure injury. On 6/19/24 at 9:05 AM, the MDS Coordinator stated resident #3's new wound should have triggered a change in condition, which would have been discussed in morning meeting. She explained a new care plan should have been developed at that time. She confirmed resident #3 did not have a care plan for an actual pressure ulcer, nor any individualized interventions. She said the wound should have triggered a significant change. The MDS Coordinator could not explain why a care plan for resident #3's worsening pressure wound was not in place. The Plan of Care policy effective date 11/30/14 and revised 9/25/17 described an individualized person-centered plan of care would be established by the interdisciplinary team with the resident and/or resident representatives to the extent practicable and updated in accordance with state and federal regulatory requirements. The policy further detailed the comprehensive care plan should be reviewed, updated and/or revised based on changing goals, references and the needs of the resident in response to current interventions. It indicated the interdisciplinary team should ensure the plan of care addressed resident needs and was oriented toward attaining or maintaining the highest practicable physical, mental and psychological well-being.

The care plan did not address resident #4's personal choices and individual needs and preferences identified through care conferences and interdisciplinary team (IDT) meetings. Review of the Care Conference Record form revealed resident #4's sister and responsible party attended the following care conference meetings: 4/25/23, 5/25/23, 7/25/23 and 10/12/23. On 6/18/24 at 1:24 PM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) G stated every time she helped resident #4 it took 45 minutes to an hour because her family had a list of specific tasks to be performed for the resident.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few preferred to include instructions for her care at the bedside table, on the wall, and inside a drawer. The MDS Coordinator reviewed resident #4's care plan, and asked herself, Where did I put it? when asked if she included the requests and preferences communicated to them. She validated it would have been important to include the information in the care plan for all staff to access. On 6/19/24 at 12:35 PM, the Social Services Assistant explained she was the Social Services Director (SSD) until January 2024. She indicated she attended care plan meetings when she was the SSD and was familiar with resident #4 and her family. She shared resident #4 had strong family relations and her sister was the main caregiver for over 20 years. She explained when resident #4 first moved in, her sister had a notebook with about 50 things written on how to take care of her. She stated the IDT discussed her care constantly. She indicated resident #4's sister had shown frustration regarding some care concerns. The Social Services Assistant stated she created a care plan for a mood problem and sad affect on 4/14/23 but did not create one related to the family's requests because things were smooth at that time and was mostly difficult adjustment for resident #4's sister. She mentioned resident #4's sister no longer attended care plan meetings maybe out of frustration, why bother if nothing improves or changes. She shared resident #4's sister had a binder with several pages of instructions for caring for her sister. She recalled the sister expressed preferences such as which outfits to be worn each day. She explained the care plan was created to inform staff how to care for the resident and contained helpful information for the staff to know.

Resident #3 acquired a pressure injury that was not treated for 10 days after it was identified which caused the wound to worsen. Resident #3 suffered severe wound infections and sepsis that required hospitalization, and he subsequently died on hospice services. Findings: Review of the medical record revealed the resident was an [AGE] year-old male, admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include lung abscess with pneumonia, Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, type 2 diabetes, difficulty walking, cognitive communication deficit, urinary retention. The medical record indicated resident #3's skin was intact when he was admitted to the facility. The record indicated resident #3 was discharged to an acute care hospital on [DATE]. John Hopkins Medicine defines pressure injuries, also called bed sores or pressure sores as follows: Pressure injuries are most likely to occur in older adults, particularly those who live in nursing homes. Studies show more than 1 in 10 nursing home residents have suffered from a bedsore. Those with chronic illnesses like diabetes and those who are under nourished are at greater risk . If found and treated quickly, pressure injures should heal within a matter of weeks. But if left untreated, they can quickly worsen. Pressure injuries start as red, blue, or purplish patches on the body. The don't blanch, or turn white, when touched and they get worse over time. These patches can quickly develop into blisters and open sores. The sores can then become infected and grow deeper until they reach muscle, bone or joints. Pressure injuries have 4 stages, ranging from an early warning signal to the most severe: Stage I. Red, blue or purplish area first appears on the skin like a bruise. It may feel warm to the touch and burn or itch. Stage II. The bruise becomes an open sore that looks like an abrasion or blister. The skin around the wound can be discolored and the area is painful. Stage III. The sore deepens and looks like a crater, often with dark patches of skin around the edges. Stage IV. The damage extends to the muscle, bone, joints and can cause a serious infection of the bone, known as osteomyelitis. It can also lead to a potentially life-threatening infection of the blood called sepsis, (retrieved on [DATE] from www.hopkins medicine.org).

The assessment indicated he did not exhibit any behavioral symptoms or reject evaluation or care necessary to achieve his goals for health and well-being. The assessment also revealed the resident required moderate to maximum assistance with activities of daily living (ADL), moderate assistance to roll side to side and sit up in bed and maximum assistance to sit up to stand and transfer to a chair. Section H of the assessment indicated he was always incontinent of bowel movements. The MDS assessment revealed resident #3 had one unhealed Stage III pressure ulcer not present on admission to the facility. In an interview on [DATE] at 9:05 AM, the MDS Coordinator clarified resident #3 actually had a stage IV pressure ulcer upon his discharge from the facility. On [DATE] at 9:12 AM, resident #3's daughter stated when she saw how bad the pressure sore looked, she talked to everyone at the facility. She said, They were supposed to change him and reposition him every few hours, but I was there for over 7 hours, and no one changed him or repositioned him the whole time. She explained he had a urinary catheter, and it was never changed at the nursing home although it was supposed to be changed every month. She stated the resident was discharged from the hospital on [DATE] to short-term rehabilitation to complete intravenous antibiotic therapy. She said her father was put in hospice two weeks after entering the nursing home and passed away two weeks later. Review of the medical record revealed a care plan dated [DATE], for bowel incontinence related to immobility. The goal was for the resident not to have skin breakdown related to incontinence. Interventions included staff to provide incontinence care after each incontinent episode. Another care plan dated [DATE], revealed the resident had potential for pressure injury development related to decreased mobility and incontinence. The goal was for the resident to have intact skin, free of redness, blisters or discoloration by/through the review date. Interventions included staff to follow facility policies/protocols for the prevention/treatment of skin breakdown, monitor nutritional status, serve diet as ordered, and monitor/ document/report any changes in skin status. An additional care plan also dated [DATE] revealed the resident had an ADL self-care performance deficit. The goal was the resident would improve his current level of function through the review date. Interventions included the resident required substantial assistance with bed mobility, eating, and with personal hygiene/oral care; and resident was totally dependent on staff for bathing, and toileting. Review of the medical record revealed no care plan was ever initiated for resident #3's actual pressure wound. Review of the Braden Score for Predicting Pressure Ulcer Skin Risk completed on admission [DATE] reflected the resident was at moderate risk for a pressure ulcer. Subsequent Braden scales completed on [DATE] and again on [DATE] scored resident #3 as low risk for developing a pressure sore, even after he was found to have developed one. A progress note dated [DATE] at 8:00 PM, by Registered Nurse (RN) D revealed an open area on the right buttock was discovered and the family, primary physician and the wound care team were notified. On [DATE] at 5:44 PM, CNA B said, I do remember resident #3, he was confused but he would smile and try to talk to us. I tried to keep him on his side because he ended up with a pressure ulcer.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of the medical record revealed no documentation by Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) after [DATE] regarding resident #3's pressure wound, except on shower sheets dated [DATE] which indicated redness in the sacral area. On [DATE] and [DATE] the CNA documented on the shower sheet there was no indication of a skin condition in conflict with other documentation in the medical record. All 4 sheets were signed by the Charge nurse as having being reviewed. The CNA [NAME] dated as of [DATE] also had no documentation which indicated resident #3 had a pressure wound. Review of the Weekly Skin Integrity Review sheets, completed by nurses, revealed a skin sheet dated [DATE] was the first time resident #3's skin was noted as not intact. The skin sheet did not have documentation of the location or a description of the wound. There was no documentation of skin sheets again for over 3 weeks until [DATE]. Review of a progress note dated [DATE], Advance Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) A documented, Deconditioning/ Gait instability- Patient is high risk for functional impairment without therapy and adequate pain control. Patient has high risk for developing contractures, pressure ulcers, poor healing, or fall if not receiving adequate therapy and pain control. Review of the Pressure Ulcer Wound Round sheets completed by the wound nurse initially on [DATE] revealed resident #3 had a stage III pressure ulcer to his sacrum which measured 5 centimeters (cm) by 5.5 cm by 0.3 cm with 30 percent slough (dead tissue within a wound) and 20 percent necrosis. The treatment was documented as silver alginate. A week later on [DATE] the Pressure Ulcer Wound Round sheets showed resident #3's wound had deteriorated to a stage IV with 70 percent necrosis and a wound bed which had turned black. The size of the wound also increased to 9 cm by 7 cm by an unable to determine measurement. The treatment was documented as Medical grade honey. On [DATE], a month after the wound was initially found, the Pressure Ulcer Wound Round sheets showed resident #3's sacral pressure wound was still a stage IV that now measured 12 cm by 7 cm with a depth that was still unable to be determined. The treatment was now documented as silver alginate and moistened gauze. On [DATE] at 9:20 AM, the Wound Care RN confirmed resident #3 had a facility acquired pressure ulcer that declined rapidly in the month after it was found. She said when the assigned nurse notifies her of a resident's wound she would enter the orders for what the resident needed for wound healing such as wound care or an air mattress, and complete a weekly skin note. The Wound Care RN said she did not usually measure the wounds, unless the physician did not come to see the resident. She explained she would classify the stage of the wound at that time and document her assessment of the wound. The Wound Care RN stated she had put orders in for resident #3 but said they were, missing from his medical record. She confirmed resident #3's facility acquired wound was not discussed in the clinical meeting and explained nurses did not always tell them when they found a skin impairment or wound. The Wound RN recalled sometimes nurses would sign off orders in the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) when they did not complete them themselves. She explained she had been told previously that it was okay for the floor nurses to document the treatments even if they were not the ones doing them. Although the wound was discovered on [DATE], the first visit by the wound physician did not take place until [DATE] per the consult note which revealed the wound was a stage III unhealed pressure ulcer. Per the physician's note the wound was debrided that day to remove devitalized tissue, biofilm, eschar and slough.

Additional orders included for nursing to change dressing every day and as needed, implement pressure relieving measures and offloading as tolerated and a consult from the Registered Dietician to implement a nutritional plan, protein supplements, and daily multivitamins. Review of additional wound physician notes indicated the total surface area of resident #3's wound increased from 27.5 cm squared on the first visit of [DATE] to 84 cm squared a month later on [DATE]. On [DATE] at 11:23 AM, the wound physician stated he came to the facility weekly, but no longer worked at the facility. He explained when a new wound was identified at the facility, nursing staff would notify him, and he would see that resident on his next visit to the facility where he would update them with any orders he wanted to implement. The wound physician clarified he would also add interventions in his notes if he saw they were not already in place, as he did on [DATE]. He recalled resident #3 and explained his wound deteriorated over the three weeks until [DATE] when he was transferred to the hospital upon his family's request. The wound physician stated the facility implemented floor nurses to perform wound care instead of the wound nurse. He said, I cannot attest that if the nurses were busy, the [resident's] wound care was done. He explained he didn't anticipate how quickly resident #3's wound would deteriorate. Review of the TAR for [DATE] revealed no orders for wound treatments were initiated until [DATE], nine days after the wound was first noted by the CNA. The Medication Administration Record for April and [DATE] revealed supplements for wounds were not ordered until [DATE], 13 days after the Dietary consult was ordered by the wound physician. Review of the TAR reflected during the 19 days from [DATE]-[DATE] nursing staff documented the resident received a total of 10/19 dressing changes as ordered by the physician for his pressure wound. On [DATE] at 3:50 PM, the Regional Nurse confirmed wound care was not done as ordered for resident #3. She stated education for the expectation of accurate documentation was implemented and two staff were terminated after the concern about wound care not being done was found by the Interdisciplinary team on [DATE]. She explained this was an ongoing Performance Improvement Project with active audits but confirmed resident #3 was not included in their audits and the concerns found during the survey were not discovered by the facility until brought to their attention by the survey team. A progress note on [DATE] at 12:48 PM, by the indicated, Resident's family requested that he be transferred to the Emergency Department (ED) due to his sacrum wound not healing and his urinary catheter needing to be changed. APRN C was notified of the request and went to assess the resident and determined that the concerns brought up by the family could be treated at our facility. Family continued to insist that we send him to the ED. 911 was called and the resident was sent to the ED . Hospital records dated [DATE] to [DATE] revealed the resident had severe sepsis from an unstageable sacral wound when he arrived at the ED. Cultures were taken from the wound and the resident was given intravenous (IV) antibiotics. Results of the wound cultures revealed the wound was growing extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL), Klebsiella pneumonia and methicillin resistant staphylococcus aures (MRSA). The hospital record revealed resident #3 had another bed side debridement in the hospital by the surgeon. The surgical note indicated infected, necrotic, gangrenous tissue was excised from the sacral wound which extended to the bone. The hospital record indicated the resident died approximately a month later on hospice. ESBL which are enzymes or chemicals produced by germs like certain bacteria.

Findings: Resident #2 was admitted to the facility from an acute care hospital on 3/07/24 with a diagnosis of drug induced subacute dyskinesia (uncontrolled, involuntary movements). Other diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease, spinal stenosis, muscle weakness, difficulty walking, unspecified abnormalities of gait and mobility, and Parkinson's disease with dyskinesia. Review of hospital discharge papers dated 3/05/24, revealed a handwritten note that stated, Ok to accept. No clinical reason not to accept except safety concerns with falls due to [diagnoses] of dyskinesia and involuntary movement. Review of the admission assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident's cognition as alert to person with memory problems. The assessment indicated resident #2 was noted to have fallen within the last 30 days. A progress note attached to the assessment detailed the resident had physical irritability due to diagnosis. It also indicated the resident was a fall risk per the family. The care plan initiated on 3/08/24, listed the resident had an actual fall with no injury. The goal for the resident would be to resume usual activities and minimize the risk of further incident through next review. Interventions included bed in lowest position on 3/08/24, bilateral fall mats on 3/11/24 and a perimeter defined mattress on 3/19/24. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 3/14/24, noted a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 13 which indicated the resident was cognitively intact. The resident was noted to have had 2 or more falls with no injury prior to admission. Review of the activities of daily living section of the assessment indicated the resident required extensive assist of 2 persons for bed mobility and transfers. The assessment showed the resident required maximal or substantial assistance for toilet hygiene and was dependent for shower/bathing self, dressing lower body, and personal hygiene. Resident required moderate or partial assistance for going from lying to sitting on the side of the bed and sitting to standing. Review of resident's clinical record revealed he sustained a fall without injury on 3/07/24, the day of admission, and another on 3/19/24. Following the 3/07/24 fall, bilateral fall mat intervention was added to the resident's care plan. Review of the fall investigation report dated 3/19/24 revealed the resident got out of bed unassisted and he was found by the nurse, supine (flat on one's back), laying bedside and unable to explain what happened. Neither the report nor the statement mentioned whether fall mats were in place at the time of the fall. Review of the nurses progress note on 3/19/24 at 7:15 PM, revealed the resident was found lying supine bedside.
