interview and record review the facility failed to ensure personal alarms were working for a resident at risk
for falls for 1 of 3 residents (R2) reviewed for falls and safety in the sample of five.The findings include:The
Fall Initial Documentation dated 1/10/26 at 7:10 PM for R2 showed he had an unwitnessed fall. R2 was
observed on the bathroom floor in a supine position. R2 was unable to state what had happened and his
alarm was noted not to be working. R2 was assumed to have been attempting to use the toilet, but there
was not any evidence of toilet use.R2's Care Plan dated 12/8/25 showed R2 is at risk for falls related to
dementia, congestive heart failure, asthma, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and dysthymic disorder. Other
diagnoses include chronic kidney disease, arthropathy, benign prostatic hyperplasia, hypercholesterolemia,
gastroesophageal reflux disease, obstructive sleep apnea, hyperparathyroidism, peripheral vascular
disease, and hypertension. R2 has a sensor pad alarm that is to be in place when he is left unattended in
his bed, chair or wheelchair. R2's care plan was not reviewed and/or revised after his fall on 1/10/26.On
2/4/26 at 11:59 AM, V8 Certified Nursing Assistant - CNA stated R2 has the alarm when he is in his chair
and when he is in bed. The alarm is the same one and it gets moved back and forth. R2 always has an
alarm to alert staff when he tries to get up. V8 stated R2 likes to try and get up on his own and falls. V8
stated R2 has a sensor pad that alarms when he tries to get up. R2 has it for his safety.On 2/4/26 at 12:47
PM, V6 Registered Nurse - RN stated on 1/10/26 R2's alarm was not working when he fell. V6 stated she
asked the CNAs when he was last toileted and was last seen. V6 said that her and the CNA replaced the
batteries and messed with the wire on R2's alarm and it started working. V6 stated the wire was kind of
worn out on the alarm.The Fall Initial Documentation dated 1/23/26 at 11:35 PM for R2 showed he was
found on the floor with his back up against the room door. R2 was leaning on his right elbow with his legs
stretched out in front of him. R2's alarm did not sound. R2 stated he was going to the bathroom.On 2/4/26
at 2:29 PM, V11 CNA stated she was working on 1/23/26 when R2 fell and his alarm was not working. V11
stated the nurse called her for help because the nurse (V5 Licensed Practical Nurse - LPN) found R2 on
the floor in the doorway of his room. V5 stated R2's alarm was not working; it wasn't going off. It worked
after the batteries were replaced. V11 stated that staff can tell when the battery is going low because some
of them will start beeping real fast and some make a humming noise. V11 stated when this happens the
batteries need to be replaced. V11 stated if staff keep resetting the alarm when this happens then the
batteries will be dead and staff will not be aware of it.On 2/4/26 at 12:25 PM, V3 Assistant Director of
Nursing - ADON stated she was not aware that R2 had two falls in which it was documented that his alarm
was not working. V3 stated his alarm should be working; he has it as an intervention for falls. V2 stated the
alarm is in place to help alert staff that he is up so a fall can be prevented.R2's Care Plan, dated 12/8/25
showed R2 is at risk for falls. R2's care plan was not reviewed and/or revised to show that he had two
actual falls in January 2026 or any

changes made for the prevention of falls.The facility's Fall Policy (no date) showed the facility seeks to
promote an active and healthy lifestyle with respect, dignity and security for each resident as a whole. Falls
are the leading cause of injury-related death for those [AGE] years of age and older. Falls can also lead to
severe complications including hip fractures, traumatic brain injury and premature death. As all falls cannot
be prevented, the facility strives to minimize potential injury by identifying common fall risk factors and
developing individualized care plan interventions that focus on maintaining a person's independence and
mobility function to the best of their ability. The facility assesses all residents and evaluates fall situations as
well as potential fall/injury situations in order to achieve this goal.
