Let each resident or the resident's legal representative access or purchase copies of all the resident's records. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to provide medical records for 1 out of 1 residents (R3) reviewed for resident rights.
Findings include: R3's face sheet documented she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged on 3/17/25 with diagnosis of, in part, metabolic encephalopathy, epilepsy, vascular dementia, and major depressive disorder. R3's MDS dated [DATE], documented she was moderately cognitively impaired. R3's State of Illinois: HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Complaint Authorization for the Release of Patient Information Pursuant to 45 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) 164.508 form documented V6 (R3's Daughter/Power of Attorney) completed it on 3/18/25.

On 5/29/25 at 12:35 PM, V7 (social services) stated V6 did sign paperwork when she came back for R3's belongings sometime in March. This surveyor showed the release of medical records form to V7, and she stated that was the form V6 handed to her. V7 stated the administrator was not in the building at that time, so she put it on V1's desk and notified her but didn't hear anything else about that afterwards. On 5/28/25 at 4:15 PM, V1 stated V6 never filled out a release of medical records form that she knows of and V5 (Vice President of Clinical Services) agreed.

R2's last Fall Risk Evaluation was dated 4/9/25. There were no Fall Risk Evaluations completed post fall on 5/15/25 for R2. On 5/29/25 at approximately 10:30 AM, R2 stated she likes to go outside on daily walks to keep her body up and moving. R2 stated on 5/15/25 she left the facility and tripped but didn't fall to the ground completely, she has a bad leg and stumbles a lot. R2 stated a lady saw her trip and was concerned and told me she couldn't drive me back but called to get someone to help. R2 stated she made it back to the facility safely. 3.R3's face sheet documented she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was discharged on 3/17/25 with diagnosis of, in part, metabolic encephalopathy, epilepsy, vascular dementia, and major depressive disorder. R3's Care Plan while at the facility, did not document her to be a high fall risk. R3's Fall Risk Evaluation dated 11/12/24, documented her to be a high fall risk. R3's MDS dated [DATE], documented she was moderately cognitively impaired, had inattention and disorganized thinking behavior present at fluctuating times, uses a walker, and required partial/moderate assistance to walk 10 feet and to go from a sitting to standing position. On 5/28/25 at 2:12 PM, V6 (R3's daughter) stated on 5/15/25, she was driving around 7:56 PM, and saw a lady crossing the intersection and fell, the lady stumbled a little bit and limped off towards the gas station. V6 stated she pulled over to ask if the lady was okay and she told her yes and that she was a resident at the facility. V6 stated she called 911 to check up on her and then the facility to let them know one of their residents fell and was out. V6 stated the police told her that the lady made it back to the facility safely. V6 stated she's very concerned the facility did not report the lady falling out in the intersection and wants to make sure the residents are safe. V6 stated she had seen R3 fall at the facility, but nothing was reported or done about them. On 6/2/25 at 2:10 PM, in a joint interview with V9, licensed practical nurse (LPN) and V10 (LPN), both stated that residents at risk for falls should have a fall risk care plan, a Fall Risk Evaluation is completed after a fall occurs, and new interventions are added to the care plan after a fall happens. V9 stated when R2 leaves the facility and comes back, she's not sure what she gets into, but she will be unbalanced and definitely a fall concern. V9 stated that R3 was a fall risk while at the facility and she made sure to implement precautions on her. On 6/2/25 at 2:58 PM, in a joint interview with V1, Administrator, and V5, [NAME] President of Clinical Services, stated R1 did not fall three times as it stated in her care plan on 4/8/25, she technically slid herself off her chair and was having behaviors. V5 stated she would not expect a fall risk care plan to be in place if a resident were considered to be a high fall risk, only if they have had falls prior. V5 stated it is in the fall policy that a fall risk assessment should be completed after a fall occurs. V5 stated she thinks the facility's care plans need work and plans to improve them. The facility's Fall Evaluation and Prevention Policy, undated, documented the policy will evaluate residents for their fall risk and develop interventions for prevention. Upon admission, the nursing/interdisciplinary care team should determine if a resident is at risk for falls and develop appropriate interventions based on the evaluation. The goal is to prevent falls if possible and avoid injury

related to falls. The policy further documented the residents should be evaluated for their fall risk following a fall and if there was a loss of consciousness or the fall was unwitnessed, neuro signs should be initiated and checked for at least 72 hours. The policy also documented tat the analysis of falls included completing the Accident/Incident report and notify the physician and responsible party. Document the physician orders and/or response from the physician and responsible party. The IDT (interdisciplinary) team will review the plan of care and update the interventions as appropriate.
