F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed implement fall interventions as care planned for 1 of 3 residents (R5) reviewed for falls in the sample of 15. Findings Include:R5's admission record, print date of 8/7/25, documented R5 has diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy, orthostatic hypotension, chronic atrial fibrillation, atherosclerotic heart disease, hypothyroidism, hyperlipidemia, major depressive disorder, cognitive communication deficit, hypertension, urine retention, and a history of falling. R5's MDS (Minimum Data Set), dated 7/25/25, documented R5 is moderately cognitively impaired and requires supervision or touching assistance with transfers. R5's progress note, dated 8/3/25 at 4:20 PM, documented resident got herself up (and was) unattended in the dining room, her alarm sounded, and she was on the floor, fall witnessed, and no head involvement. R5's progress note, dated 8/8/25 at 3:49 PM, documented staff call this LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) to DR (dining room), upon entering DR resident was noted sitting on her buttocks in front of her w/c (wheelchair), no injury noted. ROM (range of motion) WNL (within normal limits) for this resident. R5's care plan, undated, documented R5 is at risk for falls. R5's care plan interventions include non-skid socks and non-skid mat below and on top of wheelchair pad. On 8/11/25 at 10:53 AM R5 was observed sitting in her wheelchair in the dining room. R5 was wearing black and white socks that did not have non-skid material on the sole of the sock. On 8/12/25 at 1:52 PM surveyor observed R5's wheelchair along with V1 (Administrator) to see if R5 had a non-skid mat below and on top of her wheelchair pad. V1 stood R5 up from her wheelchair and raised the wheelchair cushion. No non-skid mat was observed below nor on top of R5's wheelchair pad. V1 confirmed R5's fall intervention of a non-skid mat was not in place per R5's care plan. On 8/12/25 at 2:53 PM V1 (Administrator) stated she expects resident fall interventions to be in place per their care plans.The facility's Falls and Fall Risk Managing policy, dated 3/2018, documented based on previous evaluations and current data, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling. It continues, Resident-Centered Approaches to Managing Falls and Fall Risk: 1. The staff, with the input of the attending physician, will implement a resident-centered fall prevention plan to reduce the specific risk factor(s) of falls for each resident at risk or with a history of falls. 2. If a systematic evaluation of a resident's fall risk identified several possible interventions, the staff may choose to prioritize interventions. 3. Examples of initial approaches might include exercise and balance training, a rearrangement of room furniture, improving footwear, changing the lighting, etc. 4. In conjunction with the consultant pharmacist and nursing staff, the attending physician will identify and adjust medications that may be associated with an increased risk of falling or indicate why those medications could not be tapered or stopped, even for a trial period. 5. If falling recurs despite initial interventions, staff will implement additional or different interventions or indicate why the current approach remains relevant. 6. If underlying causes cannot be readily identified or corrected, staff will try various interventions, based on assessment of the nature or category of falling, until falling is reduced or stopped, or until the reason for the continuation of the falling is identified as unavoidable. 7. In conjunction with the attending physician, staff will identify and implement relevant interventions to try to minimize serious consequences of falling. 8. Position-change alarms will not be used as the primary or sole intervention to prevent falls but rather will be used to assist the staff in identifying patterns and routines of the resident. The use of alarms will be monitored for efficacy and staff will respond to alarms in a timely manner.
