four Residents (R6) reviewed for falls in a sample of six.Findings include:The Facility Fall Clinical Protocol
Policy, revised 8/2008, documents: as part of the initial assessment, the Physician will help identify
individuals with a history of falls and risk factors for subsequent falling; staff will continue to collect and
evaluate information until either the cause of falling is identified, or it is determined that the cause cannot be
found, or that finding a cause would not change the outcome or management of falling and fall risk; based
on the preceding assessment, the staff and physician will identify pertinent interventions to try to prevent
subsequent falls and to address risks of serious consequences of falling; and staff and physician will
monitor and document the individual's response to interventions intended to reduce falling or the
consequences of falling.The Facility Resident Rights Policy, dated 2007, documents Personal Safety, the
Resident has the right to expect safety as the Facility practice and environment are concerned.R6's current

from R6. R6 stated that when R6 attempted to transfer back to wheelchair, the wheelchair rolled away from
R6, causing R6 to land on the floor.On 8/14/25 at 11:50 am, V10 (Restorative Nurse/Licensed Practical
Nurse) stated, I do understand that just educating (R6) or placing signs in (R6's) room was probably not the
best intervention, given his cognition.On 8/14/25 at 1:00 pm, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, We probably
need different interventions for (R6) other than just educating or putting signs in (R6's) room. V2 verified
that R6 is cognitively impaired and that the fall interventions were not appropriate for R6.
