Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure adequate supervision measures were
in place to prevent falls for two (Resident #28 and Resident #188) out of five sampled residents.
Findings Included:
1.
During the entrance conference conducted on 05/24/21 with the facility Administrator (NHA) and the facility
Director of Nursing (DON), it was reported that Resident #188 was under transmission-based isolation
precautions because she was a new admission to the facility. During the initial tour of the facility on
05/24/21, the resident's door was observed closed, and it was observed to be always closed throughout the
survey period (05/24/21-05/27/21).
Record review revealed that Resident #188 had been admitted to the facility on [DATE] following a hip
fracture with surgical repair. Other diagnoses included Parkinson's disease and dementia. The MDS
revealed a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 6 which meant that the resident had moderate
cognitive impairment. The MDS revealed that the resident required extensive assist for transfers and had a
history of falls with injury. The care plan revealed a focus area for toilet use with interventions including
check and change program initiated 05/19/21. The care plan revealed a focus area for at risk for falls with
interventions including family provides private sitter 10 - 4 p.m. daily; offer and assist with toileting
schedules to meet any continence needs. Review of Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) task list revealed,
check and change every two hours.
An observation was conducted on 05/24/21 at 11:37 a.m. in Resident #188's room. There was a visitor in
the room who identified herself as the resident's caregiver and family member; she reported she was hired
by the family to sit with the resident most days at the facility. The resident was observed in bed with her call
light in reach. She reported that she often had to wait long periods for the call light to be answered,
sometimes as long as 30 minutes. Her caregiver confirmed this report.
Multiple call light observations were conducted for Resident #188 during the survey:
on 5/24/21 light was on at 12:08 p.m. and answered nine minutes later at 12:17 p.m.;
on 5/25/21 the light was on at 12:45 p.m. and was answered at 12:49 p.m.;
on 5/25/21 the light was on at 2:34 p.m. and answered at 2:40 p.m.;

During the call light observation beginning at 10:12 a.m. on 05/26/21, Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse
(LPN) and Staff C, Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator were observed donning Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) outside of the room and Staff B entered the room at 10:19 a.m. (seven minutes had
passed). Staff B said that the door could not be opened without first donning all required PPE according to
facility policy. She was observed entering the room without the required eye protection and said that was
because it's an emergency .the resident is on the floor.
An interview was conducted with Staff B and Staff C on 05/26/21 at 12:47 p.m. Staff B reported that she
had known that Resident #188 was on the floor before arriving to the room because the receptionist had
told her. Staff B said that the receptionist had received a call from the resident's daughter informing her that
the resident had fallen in her room while on the phone with her. Staff C said, I didn't know what happened,
but I saw [Staff B] take off and so I thought, I'm a nurse, I might as well go .you know how it is. Staff B
reported that when she entered the resident's room, she found her on her buttocks on the floor, the resident
told her she was reaching for her television remote and denied pain or injury. Staff B completed a
head-to-toe assessment with no findings of injury or concern. Staff C reported that the resident was
confused and forgetful and said the resident did not tell us why the call light was on .I don't know if she
even knew it was on. Both confirmed that at the time of Res. #188's fall her private sitter was not there; she
was alone in the room. Staff B reported that she followed facility post-fall protocol including initiating neuro
checks and notifying the resident's physician and family. Staff C reported that the resident had not fallen in
the facility before, had been assessed upon admission to be at risk for falls, and interventions established at
admission included low bed with side mats, staff to peek in every so often, and staff to check and change
every two hours. Staff C said, If BIMS less than 9 I try to put them on a check and change. Staff C reported
that the resident's family wanted the private caregiver with her at the facility because she had her at home,
and said, as far as I know she's paid to be here by the family. Staff C confirmed that the private caregiver
was only allowed to sit, not allowed to provide any hands-on care to resident in the facility. Call lights were
still required to be answered by facility staff.
An interview was conducted with the DON and Staff C on 05/26/21 at 2:15 p.m. They confirmed that the
private sitter was something the family wanted in place, her schedule was Monday to Thursday generally
between hours of 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., did not come Friday-Sunday, and functioned only as a sitter
where in facility, paid by family, and had not been requested by the facility. The DON reported that there was
no facility policy that the resident's door could not be opened to check on her without staff fully donning
PPE and that there was no policy that mandated the door had to remain closed. The DON reported that
there was no specific time standard for answering call lights, that the expectation was timely, and that she
would consider answering a light within 6-8 minutes as reasonable. The DON confirmed that a wait of 15
minutes was a long time. The DON confirmed there was no facility policy regarding expectations for
answering call lights and that no specific training was provided to facility staff on expectations. The DON
followed up at 5/26/21 at 4:30 p.m. to report that she had initiated education with the staff on call light
response based on the previous conversation

away down the hallway and was informed. By the time Staff A arrived at the room the resident had rolled
out of bed and was on the mat on the floor next to the bed. Staff A assisted her into a side-lying position
and called for a nurse. At 12:31 the facility Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) arrived, and at 12:32 the
resident's nurse arrived and began assessing the resident.

intervention. She reported that the second fall occurred on 05/19/21 at 2:20 p.m. when the resident again
attempted to climb out of the bed and was found on the floor on her right hip. The DON reported that the
resident's daughter had not wanted her sent out, so a mobile x-ray was completed of her right hip and

that the following had been put in place following the fall on 05/26/21: staff instructed not to leave Resident
#28 alone in her room; 15-minute checks would be started today by nurses and CNAs; next step will
probably be one on one in the daytime. The DON confirmed that it was facility responsibility to keep
resident safe and that they could provide one on one if needed.

Residents Affected - Some
Review of the medical certification for medicaid long-term care services and patient transfer form (3008)
revealed the resident had urinary retention due to Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) urinary tract
infection (UTI).
Review of the physician orders revealed:
