Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to have safety measures in place to prevent a fall.
This failure led to a resident sustaining a 3-centimeter laceration to the left parietal scalp, requiring 3
staples for closure. This applies to 1 of 5 residents (R1) reviewed for falls. The findings include:R1's
electronic health records showed that on 10/22/25, R1 was admitted with diagnoses including a displaced
fractured left femur, Parkinson's disease, and a history of repeated falls.On 11/12/25 at 9:21 am, V5
Certified Nurse's Assistant (CNA) said that on 10/30/25 around 10 am, she was providing personal hygiene
and dressing R1 while R1 was in bed. At this time R1's upper body was shaking and jerking heavily. V5 said
that she had never provided care for R1 before. V5 said she also had not received a report from the off
going staff or the nurse on duty about R1. V5 said that she thought that with R1 jerking so heavily that she
needed a 2nd staff and a full body mechanical lift. V5 said that she should have done this before she sat R1
on the side of the bed. V5 said she slid R1 to the side of the bed and put her in a sitting position without a
2nd staff assisting. V5 said that she reached for a wipe to clean R1's face when R1 jerked again and fell off
the bed and on to the floor, causing a laceration to her head. R1's 10/30/25 hospital records showed that
R1 had a 3-centimeter laceration to the left parietal scalp requiring 3 staples for closure. On 11/12/25 at
9:52 am, V6 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) said that it is the facility's policy that you have 2 staff present
when putting a resident on the side of the bed prior to transferring them with a sit-to-stand. On 11/12/25 at
5:20 pm, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) said that no staff should put a resident on the side of the bed when
the resident is heavily jerking without getting a 2nd staff first. V2 said that if you don't, you are putting the
resident at risk of falling. V2 said that her expectations and the facility's practice and policy is always have 2
staff with the sit-to-stand including prior to sitting the resident on the side of the bed. On 11/12/25 at 3:24
pm, V9 (CNA) said that she was V5's partner on 10/30/25 and V5 never asked her to assist her with R1. V9
said that you must have 2 staff present when you put a resident on the side of the bed prior to transferring
them with a sit-to-stand mechanical lift.On 11/12/25 at 12:16 pm, V8 (R1's Primary Care Physician) said
that R1's fall on 10/30/25 caused a laceration to her head. V8 said that in his professional opinion 2 staff
were needed before R1 was placed in a sitting position on the edge of the bed. V8 said that this was
important because R1 has Parkinson's, and she was jerking at the time. V8 said that if 2 staff had been
there, they could have prevented the fall and laceration.On 11/12/25 at 5:15 pm, V1 (Administrator) said
that 2 staff should have been present before putting R1 on the edge of the bed in a sitting position since
R1's body had been jerking. V1 said that this should have been done for safety. R1's 10/23/25 - 12/2/2025
Physical Therapy Evaluation & Plan of Treatment showed that R1 is dependent on staff for
chair/bed-to-chair transfer. The facility's Fall and Fall Risk, Managing policy dated August 2008, showed that
based on previous evaluations and current data the staff will identify interventions related to the resident
specific risks and causes to try to prevent the
