Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record review the facility failed to follow interventions to prevent falls and use
equipment as per policy and procedures. This applies to 2 (R1 and R3) of 7 residents reviewed for falls and
safety. The findings include:1. R1 is a [AGE] year old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
the following diagnosis: bilateral osteoarthritis of the knee, strabismic amblyopia, cataracts, difficulty
walking, muscle wasting, gait and mobility abnormalities, diabetes mellitus, protein calorie malnutrition,
benign prostatic hyperplasia, dementia with agitation, sleep apnea, repeated falls, atherosclerotic heart
disease, post-traumatic stress disorder, AFIB (irregular heart beat),and congestive heart failure.R1's current
care plan dated September 21, 2025, shows R1 has a self-care deficit and is on a restorative advanced
range of motion program; R1 has impaired mobility and is at high risk for falls and requires extensive
assistance with one staff member for bed mobility, toileting, and transfers.Report written by V7 (registered
nurse) on September 23, 2025, shows R1 was being transferred to the toilet by V5 (Certified Nursing
Assistant) when R1 lost his balance and slowly slid to the floor. Facility's Initial Incident report dated
September 23, 2025, written by V8 (Assistant Director of Nursing) shows at approximately 8:15 AM staff
were assisting R1 from the toilet to the wheelchair when R1 lost balance and slowly slid to the floor. A body
assessment was completed with R1 verbalizing pain to right rib area. R1 was assisted back to bed using
mechanical lift. Pain medication was given. Post Fall Investigation dated October 13, 2025 at 10:16 AM
written by V9 (Restorative Nurse/Licensed Practical Nurse) shows R1 had a witnessed fall with injury on
September 23, 2025 at 9:15 AM. Root cause analysis identified general weaknesses related to recent
hospitalization, poor safety awareness, and impaired decision-making. History of multiple falls at home
noted. On October 15, 2025 at 12:30PM, V5 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated she was present when R1
had a fall in the restroom. V5 said she was transferring R1 from wheelchair to toilet when R1's foot slipped
as he turned to sit. V5 said she guided R1 to the floor with her arms wrapped around his stomach. V5 said
the gait belt was wrapped around her waist and not R1's waist, and stated R1's fall happened quickly and
she didn't have a chance to tell him to hold on to him (facilities will refute quotes), V5 said she did not think
she needed to put the gait belt on R1 because he was already seated in the chair. V5 said she had been
trained that gait belts should be placed under the resident's breast area and that this was not done during
R1's fall.On October 15, 2025 at 1:38PM, V7 (Registered Nurse) confirmed that V5 (Certified Nursing
Assistant) informed her of the R1's fall incident on September 23, 2025. V7 stated she did not witness the
fall but observed R1 on the floor, R1 denied striking his head but complained of right rib pain. On October
15, 2025, at 2:09PM V8 (Assistant Director of Nursing) said the use of gait belts depends on restorative
evaluation and that R1's fall resulted in a therapy referral.On October 15, 2025 at 4:00PM, V9 (Restorative
Nurse/Licensed Practical Nurse) said staff are trained on proper use of gait belts and that belts should be

medications. V19 stated she has asked the staff about R3 using the walker and they said we have a walker
for R3 and she could use the walker. V19 stated when R3 began walking different she asked the facility
what can they give R3 to assist her with walking. V19 stated R3's is also hard of hearing and does need
assistance with walking or needs a better walker. On October 15, 2025 at 3:42 PM, V18 (Certified Nursing

own a lot.October 15, 2025 at 4:02 PM, V10 (Restorative Nurse/Licensed Practical Nurse) stated R3 needs
help with walking, has an unsteady gait, is a fall risk, needs supervision and cueing, and will get up
unassisted from a chair. V9 (Restorative Nurse/Licensed Practical Nurse) stated on 09/21/2025 R3 stood
up, turned around, began walking lost her balance and fell. Neither V9 or V10 were aware of R3 using a

Nursing) stated R3 did not have a walker when she fell on [DATE] and she has never seen R3 with a
walker.On October 20, 2025 at 11:07 AM, V12 (Medical Director/Physician) stated if patients are high risk
and have multiple falls we use bed alarm all the time unless the resident frequently removes it. V12 stated if
the resident has a change in condition and refuses to use bed alarm or frequently removes it this will be
noted in their records. V12 states most residents have gait instability, history of falls, memory loss,
coordination problems, and are taking certain medications that put them at risk for falls and those residents
may need bed alarms. V12 stated an assessment by physical and occupational therapy determines if
residents are safe to use a walker as well as day to day assessments from the nurses. V12 stated R3's
mental status does not allow her to remember to use the walker, and we put the walker next to the
residents and always remind them to use it. V12 stated whenever the staff notices R3 is out of her room
they come right away with the walker and remind her to use her walker and our staff are always available to
help residents change positions. V12 stated there should be an attempt to have R3 use a walker and no
reason why this can't be done.The facility's Fall Occurrence Policy received 10/15/2025 states in part: It is
the policy of the facility to ensure that interventions are put in place. Those identified as high risk for falls will
be provided fall interventions.
