The final interdisciplinary note at the bottom of the Witnessed Fall Investigation Report, dated 4/15/24, documents the following: Current interventions in place and staff was present during the incident but were unable to prevent the fall safely. The resident was attempting to get out of bed and use the restroom with a (solo) member. R1 has not gotten out of bed much recently due to her declining condition and end of life care. Staff member assisted but resident fell forward related to her poor trunk strength and being dizzy. Staff assisted her with completing toileting needs as the immediate intervention. IDT determined that two staff members will assist R1 with cares as an intervention r/t (related to) decline in strength and condition. V20 (Primary Care Physician), V19 (Power of Attorney) and V8 (Hospice Registered Nurse) aware. Care Plan updated. R1's facility care plan 4/8/24 had already documented R1 required two person assist with transfers and toileting on R1's ADL care, which was initiated 11/23/22. R1's fall prevention on the same facility care plan, did not have a transfer status documented until 4/15/24. On 4/30/24 at 2:10 pm V19 (Power of Attorney) confirmed she was notified of R1's fall 4/14/24. V19 stated they were informed R1 fell forward out of her wheelchair while being changed and landed on her face. V19 also stated R1 had been incontinent for over a year. R1 was on Hospice and was very weak. R1 stayed in bed. V19 said they did not know why the facility did not provide incontinence care in bed at that time of night (midnight). R2's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] documents R2's Brief Interview of Mental Status score of 15, out of a possible 15, which indicates no cognitive impairment. On 4/30/24 at 3:47 pm R2 confirmed R1 resided in R2's room at the time of R1's fall 4/14/24. R2 stated I saw it all. R1 was my best friend before we moved in here (into the facility). It was 12:00 o ' clock at night when R1 fell. I don't know that I have ever known V5's(Certified Nursing Assistant) name. I don't think we had our call light on. R1 usually got changed in bed. That night V5 put R1 on the side of the bed. We never had our privacy curtain closed. Usually, if R1 was dizzy, she would put her hands down on each side of herself. That night she put her hands down, she was dizzy. Rarely would she say anything. She did not tell V5 that she was dizzy. There was only one CNA(Certified Nursing Assistant) assisting her. Prior to the fall they used two people most of the time. That night it was just one girl. So, V5 stood R1 up, and walked R1 backwards, and attempted to put R1 in the wheelchair. V5 did not have the wheelchair locked. As she tried to put R1 in the wheelchair, the wheelchair was going backwards. V5 did get her into the wheelchair, but R1 was not all the way back on the wheelchair seat. She was more forward in the chair then back where should have been. V5 turned 145546 Page 2 of 3 145546 05/02/2024 MT Zion Health & Rehab Center 1225 Woodland Drive Mount Zion, IL 62549

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few away from R1, and no sooner did V5 turn away, R1 fell face forward out of the wheelchair onto the floor just a few feet from R1's bed. There's still blood from R1's nose on the floor. At this time, the surveyor observed as R2 moved her motorized wheelchair and pointed to a dark burgundy half -dollar to silver dollar sized spot on the light brown carpet. R2 stated The spot is just outside the closed bathroom door. R2 also stated The bathroom door was not open at the time of the fall. R1 had gone to bed between 9:00 pm and 10:00 pm. She usually sleeps through the night and staff check us to see if we are wet. During the day, before she got sick, she could use the bathroom, but she did not get up at night. They changed her in bed. V5 got another CNA(Certified Nursing Assistant), (unidentified), after R1 fell. They were stepping over R1. They were just laughing and talking to each other, not to R1. It was so inappropriate. They were so disrespectful. That is the worst of it all. R1 was such a kind person. I was so upset I was crying. I think they brought the mechanical lift in. I was really upset. It is all a blur to me after that. After that fall she just laid in bed. Before that, she might be put in her chair to change her bed linens then put her right back in the bed. Just to look at R1 with her face, all bruised, broke my heart. I can block things out of my mind, but I don't remember anyone asking me what I saw happen. I would have told them exactly as I am telling you. On 5/2/24 at 1:17 pm V17 ( Director of Business Development/Liaison) was the manager on duty when R1 fell. R2, was on her scooter (motorized wheelchair). I had R2 come to her room for privacy. She had asked to speak to me that next morning. It was around 9:30 am on 4/14/24. R2 told me that R1 had fallen. R1 was in bed, drifting in and out of sleep while I was talking to R2. R2 was crying and said that R1 and R2 were like sisters. R2 said she saw R1's fall. R2 was not sure if V5 locked R1's wheelchair. V5 was having a hard time getting R1 in the wheelchair and the wheelchair kept moving. R2 said because of the wheelchair moving, R1 got really dizzy. I asked R2 how she knew R1 was dizzy. R2 said R1 had her hands on each side of herself, on the bed, before the transfer. On 5/2/24 at 1:55 pm V2 (Director of Nursing) reviewed R1's fall investigation dated 4/14/24 and associated care plan interventions. V2 confirmed V5 was the only CNA that completed R1's transfer, R1 was supposed to be on complete bedrest according to plan of care due to lethargy and should have had two staff assist with any necessary transfers prior to R1's fall 4/14/24. On 4/5/2024 at 3:20 pm V1 stated Hospice plan of care is incorporated into the resident facility care plan. The facility policy Accidents and Incidents dated dated 07/01/2023 documents the following related to implemented appropriate interventions: 4. Investigate and follow up Action: E. The D.O.N, IDT, and/or Designee will conduct an investigation of the accident/incident as well. Findings will be indicated in the appropriate area. The IDT will review with in 24 hour or next business day and discuss and attempt to find out the root cause and implement an appropriate intervention to attempt to prevent further falls. 145546 Page 3 of 3
