F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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.

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.
