Findings include:The Facility Fall Prevention Policy, revised 1/2025, documents: each Resident will be assessed for fall risk and will receive care and services in accordance with their individualized level of risk to minimize the likelihood of falls; a fall is an event in which an individual unintentionally comes to rest on the ground, floor or other level and may be witnessed, reported or presumed when a Resident is found on the floor or ground; the nurse will indicate on the Care Plan, the Resident's fall risk and initiate interventions on the Resident's baseline Care Plan; provide interventions that address unique risk factors measured by the risk assessment tool, medications, psychological, cognitive status or recent change in functional status; provide additional interventions as directed by the Resident assessment, including assistive devices, increased frequency of rounds, sitter, medication regimen review, low bed, alternative call light system, scheduled ambulation or toileting, family/caregiver/Resident education or therapy services; interventions will be monitored for effectiveness; and when a Resident falls the Facility will assess the Resident, complete post-fall assessment, complete an incident report, notify physician/family, review Resident's Care Plan and update as indicated and document all assessments and actions.The Facility Skin Assessment Policy, revised 5/2025, documents: to perform a full body assessment as part of our systematic approach to pressure injury prevention and management; the assessment may also be performed after a change of condition; note any skin conditions such as redness, bruising, rashes, blisters, skin tears, open areas or lesions; and document the date and time of assessment, observations, type of wound, describe wound (measurements, color, type of tissue in wound bed, drainage, odor or pain) and any other information as appropriate.1) R1's Minimum Data Set/MDS, dated [DATE], documents R1 is dependent on staff for sit-to-lying, sit-to-standing, chair-to- bed transfer and that R1 is unable to ambulate ten feet.The Facility Incidents by Incident Type Report, dated 4/1/25 through 7/17/25, documents falls for R1 (4/16/25 at 12:54 pm, 4/29/25 at 1:50 pm, 5/1/25 at 10:40 pm, 5/13/25 at 4:20 am, 5/17/25 at 8:45 am and 8:15 pm, 5/21/25 at 6:15 pm, 5/27/25 at 4:00 pm, 6/14/25 at 6:00 am, 6/27/25 at 4:33 am, 7/8/25 at 8:40 am, and 7/15/25 at 4:10 am).

I am not sure where all the neurological documentation is for all the falls for (R1 R2, R3 and R4). Nursing should be doing the neurological checks for any un-witnessed fall and we keep them in a binder at the nurses station. When (R1) fell while receiving one-on-one monitoring, we had to educate the staff because (R1) should have been within arm's reach of the one-on-one staff and R1 should have not fallen. The staff left R1's presence to grab something. Some of the interventions such as education, reminders or signs may not be appropriate interventions because (R1, R2, R3 and R4) all have dementia and are cognitively impaired, so they would fall again, doing the same thing as before because they do not remember. I am trying to teach nursing to initiate appropriate and individual interventions for our Residents because some of these Residents' falls could have been prevented if the right intervention was in place.
