Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to report a resident fall to the licensed nurse, directly resulting in a lack notification of the residents physician and family member. This failure affects one resident (R1) out of one reviewed for notifications on the sample list of six. This past compliance occurred from 6/20/25 and 7/1/25.
Findings include: On 7/1/25 at 10:39 AM, V3, Family Member and legal Power of Attorney for R1, stated that the facility had not notified her of R1's most recent fall. V3 stated she had found out about R1's fall during a conversation with a friend (unidentified) who worked at the facility. R1's comprehensive Electronic Medical Record did not document any actual recent fall event experienced by R1. R1's Nurses Notes dated 6/20/25 documented facility staff held a care plan conference for R1 attended by V3. R1's Nurses Notes dated 6/21/25 document one post fall neurological check conducted by V15, Licensed Practical Nurse. R1's Assessment record documented further neurological checks beginning with the documented one on 6/21/25 and continuing through 6/25/25, with one additional check on 6/27/25 (date of survey entrance). On 7/1/25 at 2:40 PM, V10, Registered Nurse Manager, stated that V3 had attended the care plan conference on 6/20/25 and questioned why she (V3) had not been notified about R1's fall the day prior to the care plan conference. V10 stated she had questioned the nurse who was on duty (unidentified) at the time of the alleged fall who told V10 that there had been no reported falls from the day referenced (6/19/25). V10 further stated she had checked with the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) and did find that V16 CNA had found R1 on the floor and, with assistance form V17 CNA, did pick R1 up from the floor without reporting the fall to the nurse on duty. V10 confirmed there was no documentation in R1's medical record about the actual fall event, only a note in the risk management portion of R1's record (inaccessible to state survey staff). V10 stated she had then reported the incident to the Administrator (V1), and Director of Nursing (V2), who had given a written disciplinary notice to V16, and conducted an investigation into the fall experienced by R1. On 7/1/25 at 2:50 PM, V16, Certified Nursing Assistant, stated she was delivering meal trays to resident rooms and had gone into R1's room to find R1 on the floor by the bed. V16 stated she could not locate the nurse on duty, assumed the nurse was on lunch break, and did seek assistance to pick R1 up from the floor and back into bed. V16 further stated she was busy during the resident supper time into the evening shift and by the time she saw the nurse, had forgotten about R1's fall.

V1 stated there has to be a problem before we can identify and correct the problem.
