Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 10/15/24 at 11:25 AM, V11, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) stated she was working on the day R2 fell and broke her hip. V11 said R2 would not stay in her wheelchair, and they had an alarm on it and her bed. She said they would give her washcloths to fold to keep her occupied, try talking with her, and putting her up at the nurse's station and she would still try to get up. V11 stated on the day she fell she was in the shower room trying to give another resident their shower and had them up in the lift when R2's alarm went off and she said she couldn't leave her resident up in the lift to go and check the alarm. V11 said they placed R2 in a public place to be better observed. She said R2 would always take of her shoes and socks, but she wasn't sure if she took them off on this day. V11 said when the alarm was going off, she wasn't sure if someone was there at the nurse's station or not. V11 stated R2 should have never been here at the facility it was the wrong place for her, and she required a lot of 1:1 attention. On 10/15/24 at 11:46 AM, V12, CNA she was working the middle hall on the 200 side. She said she was in the first room on the left-hand side of the hall getting a resident up when she heard an alarm going off. She said she wasn't sure if anyone was at the nurse's station due to no one answered the alarm right away. V12 no one said they were putting anyone up at the nurse's station, so she was unaware there was anyone sitting up there. She said she covered her resident up and put his bed back down in the low position because he was also a fall risk and went out into the hall and that was when she saw R2 lying on her right side on the floor. She said the nurse was out in the dining room passing medications, so she stayed with R2 and hollered down to the nurse and she came right away to assess R2. V12 said R2 stated to her that she thought her hip was broke so they got the Hoyer lift and assisted R2 up and back into her wheelchair so the nurse could finish assessing her. V12 stated usually they are made aware when they place someone at the nurse's station but if anyone said anything she didn't hear it because she was in a room with a resident trying to get them up for breakfast. V12 said sometimes R2 requires 1:1 attention and they will call the family in to help but she said one time the family told them that is why we brought her to you. On 10/15/24 at 3:16 PM, V6, ADON stated R2 was pretty much a 1:1 from the day she came to the facility, and they just couldn't accommodate that. 2.

Residents Affected - Few On 10/15/24 at 10:55 AM, R3 verified for this surveyor he did not have his wheelchair alarm in place and that he didn't have any cushion under him. R3 stated he has had falls since being here at the facility and sometimes they will put his alarms on and sometimes they don't. R3's admission Morse Fall Scale, dated 06/21/24, documented R3 was a high risk for falls with a score of 55.

On 10/15/24 at 11:10 AM, V9, CNA was questioned what interventions/assistance is needed to prevent R3 from having falls? V9 stated alarms on his wheelchair and his bed, non-skid socks, activities, and they will also place him at the nurse's station to monitor him. V9 stated R3 hasn't had any falls since he has been working here (a couple of weeks). When this surveyor asked V9 if he could show me R3's alarm he stated it isn't on him now, but he usually does have them on. He said you can see it hanging from the back of his chair when it's on him. There is a pad he sits on and when he tries to stand up the alarm will sound. He said R3 will sometimes get anxious and that is when he starts to get up out of his chair. On 10/15/24 at 12:50 PM, V6, Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated she would expect the staff to make sure the resident's alarms are in place. She said they should know their patients and when they come on shift, they need to be checking to make sure the alarms are in place. V6 said they have been having an increase in falls lately due to some of the new resident's cognitive impairment.
