Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 1 deficiency, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide immediate post-fall care to one resident (R1) receiving anticoagulant therapy of three residents reviewed for falls with injury. This failure resulted in delayed treatment of a subdural hematoma. The facility also failed to safely turn and position one resident (R4) of three residents reviewed for accidents with injury. This failure resulted in R4 sustaining a nasal fracture. Findings include: Facility Employee Education Record/Falls and Anticoagulation: What You Should Know dated 11/18/24 documents: Key Points: Blood thinners, or anticoagulants, help prevent blood clots but can increase the risk of bleeding. Falling is a major reason why some people hesitate to take blood thinners. If you fall while on a blood thinner, contact your healthcare provider right away. Bleeding isn't always visible. You could bleed internally and not know it, and that's a significant concern. For example, we worry about brain bleeds when people fall and hit their heads- but if patients don't see blood, they might not realize that they're bleeding. If you fall while on a blood thinner: You should be assessed for bruising, and most importantly, for potential head trauma. Your doctor will want to know how you fell, what parts of your body were affected, and if you lost consciousness. Even if you think the fall was minor, you should call your doctor. Facility Policy/Post Fall Management Protocol (undated) documents: If fracture or head injury is suspected, Do Not Move resident, and advise resident not to move affected area, complete assessment. Neuro checks are completed for falls where the resident hit his head or if fall was unwitnessed and a head injury is demonstrated. Pain is assessed and addressed. (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

Residents Affected - Few On 11/26/24 at 3:24pm V21, Hospital Social Worker stated that R1 was lucid and oriented when she spoke to him (on 11/17/24) and R1 stated he hit his head and rolled off the bed while being changed. On 12/3/24 at 10:30am V11, CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated that at 10pm on 11/16/24 R1 was sitting on the edge of his bed when she did initial rounds. V11 stated at approximately 12am she was doing her check and change rounds when she found R1 and R1's bed wet with urine so she had to change R1 and his entire bed. V11 stated she did this by rolling R1 back and forth in his bed to get the wet linen out and the dry linen on the bed. V11 stated that R1 did not fall off the bed during care for R1. V11 stated R1 was lying in the bed when she was done, but she had to leave the room to get a top sheet and when she returned a few minutes later R1 was on the floor mat next to R1's bed. V11 stated that R1 told her that he rolled off the bed. V11 stated that she asked R1 if he was ok and R1 touched his head. V11 stated that the area on R1's head that he touched was like a carpet burn, about the size of a dime. V11 stated that she notified V10, RN (Registered Nurse) that R1 was on the floor and V10, RN and V13, CNA came into R1's room. V11 stated that V10 assessed R1, and all three staff got R1 back into bed. V11 stated she did not recall if V10 asked R1 if he had hit his head when he rolled off the bed. V11 stated that R1 stated that his head hurt and V10 gave R1 something for pain. R1's MAR (Medication Administration Record) dated 11/1/24 to 11/30/24 does not indicate any pain medication was administered to R1 on 11/16/24 or 11/17/24 by V10. On 12/3/24 at 9:20am V2, DON (Director of Nursing) stated that V10, RN no longer is employed at the facility. Multiple attempts were made to contact V10 by phone without success. On 11/27/24 at 1:34pm V13, CNA stated that she went in R1's room to help get R1 off the floor, R1 was mostly on the fall mat on the floor and R1's bed was in the lowest position it could go. V13 stated that she did hear V10 ask R1 if he hit his head. V13 stated I did see what looked like a quarter sized area of dried blood on (R1's) upper forehead - like at the hair line. No dripping blood. (V10 and V11) said (R1) had a skin condition and that it was not new. On 11/26/24 at 2pm V12, RN stated I was in the hallway passing meds near (R1) room (on 11/17/24) when I overheard (R1) tell someone he was on the phone with that he had a bad headache. I went into (R1's) room and asked him if he was ok and if he needed Tylenol. (R1) said 'yes' so I went to get some Tylenol and when I went back in, (R1) told me he fell the night before around 11pm. I didn't ask him how he fell, but he stated he fell out of bed and pointed to the top of his head. I saw an abrasion (larger than a fifty-cent piece) on the top-right side of (R1's head). V12 stated the area wasn't bleeding but noticeable. V12 stated that R1 did also complain of nausea and wanted to go to the hospital. V12 stated she then contacted V2, DON and was told to send R1 to the hospital. V12 stated, I did not get any report that (R1) had fallen the day before. V12 stated she was concerned when R1 told her he fell, because R1 is on Coumadin. V12 stated I just happened to overhear him complain about a headache later that evening, or I would not have known he fell. V12 stated If someone falls and they are on Coumadin - even if they say they are alright - they should be sent to the hospital. On 12/3/24 at 2:45pm V22, Physician/Medical Director stated that if he had been notified when R1 initially fell or was found on the floor, it would have been an immediate 'sendout' because he was on (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145269 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 5 Printed: 05/15/2026 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 145269 B.
