**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to maintain a safe environment, provide
adequate supervision, and implement necessary assistive interventions for three (R1, R2, and R3) of three
residents reviewed for falls. These failures resulted in repeat falls or injury events, some with head trauma,
lacerations, and hospitalizations. Findings include: The facility's Fall Prevention and Management Program
revised 5/5/2025 documents the purpose of the Fall Management Program is to provide residents with an
interdisciplinary approach to assess risk of falls and provide appropriate interventions to prevent falls. The
facility will ensure that in an event a fall occurs, the fall will be investigated, appropriate treatment will be
provided, and additional interventions will be implemented to prevent another fall from occurring as much
as possible.1) R1's Hospital Discharge paperwork dated 8/5/25 documents R1 had a fall prior to admission.
R1 was taken to local emergency room where R1 was admitted with a subdural hematoma and
subarachnoid hemorrhage.R1's census line documents R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] for

8/21/25.On 10/9/25 at 1:00 PM, V14 (CNA), stated staff use a sit to stand to transfer R1, and there is a sign
at nurses' station that shows residents' transfer status. V14 further stated if it's not on the sheet then V14
just asks someone. V14 stated she does not know how to find transfer status in the electronic charting
because they are often not updated. V14 confirmed she was not aware R1 was on a toileting schedule.R1's
medical record does not contain documentation of when R1 was last toileted on 9/2/25. R1's Change in
Condition Evaluation dated 9/2/25 at 11:56 PM, documents R1 was found on the floor in her room in front

anterior falx measuring two millimeters (mm) and a right posterior scalp laceration/contusion.R1's Physician
Final Report dated 9/3/25 documents R1 arrived at local emergency room after sustaining a fall and hitting
her head. This note documents The CT scan of abdomen pelvis revealed a small intracranial bleed.R1's
Nurse Progress note dated 9/3/25 documents R1 returned to the facility with a laceration of the head,
subdural hematoma, and contusion to the right hip. R1 noted to have eight staples intact to back of head.
R1's care plan documents on 9/3/25 R1's care plan was updated to rearrange the furniture and move the
nightstand in the room to be further from the bedside On 10/9/25 at 9:01 AM, R1's nightstand was next to
the head of the bed.On 10/9/25 at 10:03 AM, R1s current care plan documents on 10/9/25 care plan was
updated to reflect R1 had an alteration in skin integrity related to laceration from fall on 9/2. This same care
plan was also updated on 10/9 to reflect R1 has a potential for complications related to Subdural
Hematoma that occurred on 9/2. R1's current care plan does not document R1s transfer status or R1s
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) care plan. On 10/9/25 at 10:18 AM, V6 (Minimum Data Set/MDS Nurse) We
(facility staff) have two people who do MDS / care plans. I went through R1's care plan this morning and
noticed some things were not added. The other MDS nurse is newer and is on vacation, and I realized
items needed to be added to R1's care plan today, so I added them. The Kardex is how staff see/document
how residents transfer, toileting, eating, bathing, and dressing, and personal hygiene cares. It's hard to keep
up on updating because it changes so much. V6 further stated that R1's care plan did not include her
transfer status or activities of daily living (ADL) status until that morning. V6 acknowledged that workload
and staffing (e.g. training a newer MDS nurse) contributed to the delays in updating care plans accurately
and timely. V6 confirms that in order for CNAs to be able to chart in the tasks the care areas must be added
to the care plan first. On 10/9/25 at 11:00 AM, V10 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) stated that she began
her shift around 10:00 PM on 9/2/25. Three female residents were still up in the dining area, and V7 (CNA)
told them to go to bed. V7 asked V10 to assist with R1's roommate, who needed a shower. V10 reported,
We were walking down the hallway and V7 said R1's roommate needed a shower, so we walked her to the
shower room. V10 stated she was in the shower room with the resident when V7 left to get the resident's
clothes. V10 heard V7 yell out for V8 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN), prompting her to open the shower
room door. V10 observed R1 on the floor in her room, close to the door, bleeding from the back of her head.
V10 stated she remained in the shower room to assist the resident she was with but heard V8 say, R1 was
put to bed too early and may not have been toileted correctly. V10 described, R1 fell by her bed, which is
where the dried blood was on the floor. I had to clean the blood up after I was done with the shower. There
was a dried puddle of blood by the bed and droplets of blood leading to the door where R1 was sitting.
There was also a blood spot on the chair that's used to prop the door open, but the chair had not been in
place, so the door was closed. V10 stated, I'm pretty sure (R1) was on the floor for a while. V10 further
stated she has worked at the facility since April of 2025 and feels that staff are not being trained properly on
the floor and don't know where to find information on residents.V10 stated information on residents is often
not on the electronic Kardex (resident information), and It makes it very hard to work here because we
never know what's happening.V10 stated Sometimes I'm concerned about losing my license. V10 further
stated she was not aware that R1 was on a toileting program. On 10/9/25 at 10:47 AM, V8 (LPN) stated that
her shift was ending when V7 called her to R1's room at approximately 10:00 PM on 9/2/25. V8 found R1
sitting on the floor, bleeding from the back of the head. V8 said she did not know exactly what R1 was
doing; R1 was not far from the bathroom. V8 added that R1 is not supposed to get up without help. V8
stated that staff had laid R1 down in bed, though she did not recall the time this was done. V8

further stated that approximately around 8:00 PM earlier, she checked on R1 and found her in bed,
sleeping. On 10/14/25 at 9:25 AM, V9 (RN) stated that at the start of her shift (as a third shift nurse) staff
entered R1's room and found her lying on the floor in front of the bathroom door, in a puddle of blood. V9
stated there was a trail of blood from the bed to the bathroom, as if R1 slid across the floor. The room door
was closed when staff entered; V9 noted that the door does not reliably stay open unless pushed just right,
and previously staff had propped the door open with a chair. V9 said she had never seen R1 attempt to get
out of bed by herself. R1 was wet when found, but V9 expressed she could not determine what led to the
fall or what R1 was doing at the time. On 10/9/25 at 12:16 PM, V12 (R1's Family Member), stated R1 had
fallen and hit her head, and they sent her to emergency room and then transferred R1 to another hospital to
monitor her brain bleed. V12 stated that the facility called me, but it wasn't until after they took R1 to the
hospital. They told me (R1) had a fall and hit her head, nobody ever gave me any details other than she fell.
(R1) now has hospice when she went back to the facility, they suggested Hospice.On 10/14/25 at 9:08 AM,
V15 (Physician) stated they should have a care plan in place for all new admits because data shows new
admits have a high risk for falls especially since R1 already had a history of falls. R1 should have had fall
precautions in place upon admission and staff should have been aware of ADL needs. 2) R2's census line
