Review of Resident 1's care plan titled
"Resident Care Plan-Fall Risk" dated 2/1/18
indicated Resident 1 was at risk for fall due to
impaired vision, impaired function, decrease
strength, endurance, weakness, unsteady
balance/gait and poor trunk control/balance
deficit. The approaches and plan included
frequent visual monitoring and whereabouts of
the resident and wheelchair for transport with
staff assistance.

at 2:10 p.m., Resident 1 stated on 7/30/18 after
the dialysis treatment, Facility Driver 1 (FD 1)
wheeled her outside the center's building and
parked the wheelchair without pulling the
breaks. FD 1 walked away and left Resident 1
alone to help Resident 2 to the van. The
wheelchair started to wheel itself and that she
had no safety belt at that time of the incident
and she fell out of the wheelchair. Resident 1
further stated that at that time, she had too
much pain and was upset that she was left
alone because the driver was helping another
resident. Resident 1 further stated she was still
upset about the way she was handled.
During an interview with Resident 2 on 8/9/18
at 2:30 p.m., Resident 2 stated Facility Driver 1
(FD 1) pushed his wheelchair towards the van
and left Resident 1 outside in front of the
dialysis center's door, then they heard Resident
1 screaming, FD 1 went back to Resident 1 and
saw her on the floor and someone called 911.
Resident 2 further stated FD 1 was around ten
feet away from Resident 1 when the incident
happened.

dated 8/5/18 indicated Resident 1's principal
discharge diagnosis was Femur Fracture. The

center. FD 1 proceeded to bring Resident 2 to
the van and left Resident 1 by herself outside
the dialysis center, he looked back and saw
Resident 1 on the floor and the dialysis centers'
staff called 911. FD 1 stated it would be safer

Managing" dated December 2007, indicated
"based on previous evaluation and current
data, the staff will identify interventions related
to the resident's specific risks and causes to try
to prevent the resident from falling and to try to
minimize complications from falling".
