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 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 therapy.R1's current care plan did not include Fall Interventions on admission.R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R1 is severely cognitively impaired and is dependent on facility staff for toileting.R1's Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE] documents R1 is high risk for falls.R1's Nurse Progress Note dated 8/21/25 at 4:25 AM, documents R1 was found sitting on the floor near her bed and was assisted by two unidentified staff members to the restroom after the fall. This note further documents R1 denied hitting her head and V12 (R1's Family Member) chose to not have R1 sent to emergency room for evaluation.R1's current care plan documents on 8/25/25 a Fall Care Plan was initiated for R1 to be toileted every three hours.R1's Toileting Task was not added to the Kardex (resident information) until 9/18/25 for staff documentation.R1's medical record does not contain documentation of when R1 was last toileted on 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 of the bathroom door with active bleeding to the back of her head. This note further documents there was dried blood on the floor next to R1 and by the side of R1's bed. R1 was sent to the local emergency room by ambulance.R1's emergency room Physician Notes dated 9/2/25 at 11:15 PM document R1 arrived at the local emergency room after an unwitnessed fall in the facility. R1 was found crawling on the floor near her window in her room. R1 had noticeable bleeding on the back of her head. R1 is also on Eliquis for previous blood clots.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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.

(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 documents R2 admitted to the facility on [DATE].R2's Medical Diagnosis list documents R2 admitted with a Diagnosis of Dementia and Lack of Coordination.R2's Fall Risk evaluation dated 8/7/25 documents R2 is high risk for falls.R2's MDS dated [DATE] documents R2 is severely cognitively impaired.R2's Emergency Department Physician Notes dated 9/9/25 document R2 was sent to the local emergency room after facility reports R2 sustained an unwitnessed fall and was found lying on the ground.
