F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to develop and implement a person-centered plan of care for fall prevention for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for falls in a sample of 11. This failure resulted in R2 who was post right below the knee amputation attempting to self-transfer and R2 falling to the floor. The impact and trauma from the fall, re-opened the amputation surgical incision site, requiring urgent hospital treatment and surgical revision of the surgical site. Findings Include: R2's admission Sheet, with admission date of 07/25/25, documented R2 has diagnoses of but not limited to Peripheral vascular disease, Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM), complete traumatic amputation at knee level, right lower leg, subsequent encounter, need for assistance with personal care, acquired absence of right leg below knee, and difficulty in walking. R2's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documented R2 is cognitively intact with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) of 15 out of 15 and he requires assistance of one with transfers. R2's Morse Fall Scale, dated 07/25/25 at 2:29 PM, documented R2 was a high risk for falling with a score of 50. Morse Fall Scoring is as follows: High Risk 45 and higher, moderate risk 25-44, and low risk 0-24. R2's Care Plan, date initiated for falls 08/19/25, documented R2 is at risk for falls. Gait/balance problems d/t (due to) a recent BKA (below the knee amputation). 08/17/25 Unwitnessed fall, reopened surgical BKA. Goal: The resident will be free of injury (r/t related to) falls. Interventions include but not limited to anticipate and meet the residents needs as needed, ensure the resident's call light is within reach and encourage the resident to use it for assistance as needed, and follow facility fall protocol. R2's Progress Notes, Effective date: 08/17/2025 at 22:45 (10:45 PM), Created by: V23, Assistant Director of Nursing, created date: 09/16/2025 at 13:46 (1:46 PM), documented Late Entry:Resident laying on floor in hallway his feet legs pointing into the doorway to his room with his head more centered towards the hallway. He was holding his recent surgical BKA. His surgical wound had opened up measuring 15 cm (centimeters) in length and 3 cm in height. A pain assessment as well as a complete body assessment were completed Resident was placed back into his W/C (wheelchair) after assessments completed. The open laceration was covered with ABD (abdominal) pads then wrapped to stop the bleeding. This was effective. Local ambulance service was notified of our need for transport to local hospital. POA (Power of Attorney)/Physician/DON (Director of Nursing) notified. Report called to local hospital. Nurses Note from V24, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). R2's Operative Note, dated 08/20/25 at 10:18 AM, documented R2 had depleted (used up) venous (vein) access and a suitable IV (Intravenous) could not be started. Instead, they had to place a triple lumen-catheter (a type of central venous catheter in his right femoral vein (in his right groin area) to be able to administer the general anesthesia. Under general anesthesia the right leg was prepped and draped. The patient had a complete dehiscence (is a surgical complication where a closed incision reopens, exposing internal tissues and potentially organs) of the right BKA closure site. There was a hematoma present. The incision was made Page 1 of 7 145581 145581 09/22/2025 Autumn Meadows of Cahokia 2 Annable Court Cahokia, IL 62206

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few along the previous closure site and the entire below-knee flap was taken down. There was evidence of some nonviable (incapable of life or living) muscle and traumatized muscle from the fall as well as a hematoma (localized collection of blood that pools outside of blood vessels) which was evacuated (removed). There was a large amount of fibrous tissue in the posterior flap. An excisional debridement was preformed of these fibrous tissues. A portion of the tibial bone was exposed in the wound. Proximally a cm of tibial bone was then excised using a power saw. All the posterior flap was viable with no evidence of necrosis or ischemia. The wound was irrigated with an antibiotic solution, the posterior flap was brought anteriorly, and the previous skin incision was reapproximated using interrupted vertical sutures. The leg was dressed with Adaptic gaze, fluff gauze, kerlix wraps and an ace wrap. R2's Progress Notes, dated 08/22/2025 at 4:00 PM, documented R2 returned to the facility at this time. On 09/17/25 at 11:45 AM, V19, Medical Director said he would deem R2 a fall risk and there should be a fall plan of care in place for him. V19 stated the fall R2 had has the potential to cause harm and he is sorry it happened. V19 said he thinks the facility failed in preventing R2's fall. He said no one was answering his call light, and his bed was broke that's a lot. He said yes, this incident has the potential for the resident to experience harm or death. He said it's unacceptable and he absolutely agrees the facility failed. The facility's Care Planning policy, effective date of 05/02/07, documented Comprehensive Care Plans The resident's comprehensive care plan is developed within seven (7) days of the completion of the resident's comprehensive assessment (MDS/RAI). Each care plan will be dated indicating the date in which it was implemented. Each resident's comprehensive care plan should be designed to: o Incorporate identified problem areas; o Incorporate risk factors associated with identified problems; o Reflect goals and objectives in measurable outcomes; o Identify the professional services that are responsible for each element of care; o Aid in preventing or reducing declines in the resident's functional status and/or functional levels;o Enhance the optimal functioning of the resident and;o Build upon the strengths of the resident. The facility's Fall Prevention Protocol, reviewed dated of 03/2025, documented Standard: This facility is committed to establishing guidelines and procedures to minimize falls and their effects so as to maximize every resident's well-being. It is established that it is impossible to prevent all falls due to their multi factorial nature, however this standard dictates a mode of action that attempt to identify, assess and implement interventions for each resident at risk and the facilitates an environment that is as safe as possible. It further documents Policy: I. Fall Prevention/Risk Assessment A comprehensive fall risk assessment will be completed for every resident within 48-72 hours of admission/readmission and in conjunction with each required MDS assessment period and/or whenever the resident has a fall that is not consistent with previously identified risk factors. This assessment shall include a review of the resident's physical status, cognitive function, functional status, environment and device use. Residents identified through the fall risk assessment as being at risk for falls shall have in place an interdisciplinary care plan that will address their risk by directing interventions towards the identified, modifiable etiologies or risk factors. Care plans will be revised and/or updated in conjunction with scheduled MDS assessments and repeat fall risk assessments. 145581 Page 2 of 7 145581 09/22/2025 Autumn Meadows of Cahokia 2 Annable Court Cahokia, IL 62206

Nursing reported a fall with injury. The fall took place on 8/17 at 22:30. Resident was sent out to the hospital for further evaluation. Resident was a new admission that came to the facility on 7/25/25, brand new amputee on right lower leg. Resident was found lying on the floor that resulted from a fall. Resident was trying to complete a self-transfer. Resident is a brand-new amputee and has a diagnosis deficit. Resident lack safety awareness and has not come to terms with his most recent amputation. Resident has difficulty with asking for assistance or using his call light because he is in denial about losing his independence. Resident was interviewed and stated he had to poop. Resident didn't want to ask for help, so he initiated a self-transfer and fell. The resident had a laceration, but he also caused his surgical wound to reopen resulting in a hematoma. Resident was sent out for further evaluation. Resident returned on 8/22 after the hospital completed a revision of his right BKA closure site. The hospital didn't come back with any new wound treatments. Our wound nurse was able to assess and obtain orders from out Nurse Practitioner to do the following: resident returned with sutures, apply wet to dry dressing with ABD pad and Kerlix/ace wraps daily. Resident care plan has been updated with new interventions regarding his recent fall and will continue therapy to build his upper body strength to conduct safe transfers. Will continue to monitor resident at this time. On 09/11/25 at 1:25 PM, R2 said his bed was broke and his wheels on the bed wouldn't lock. He said he had his wheelchair beside the bed and when he was trying to get out of bed and into his wheelchair the bed rolled away from him, and he fell on the floor and busted his stump open. R2 said he put his call light on to get some help, but no one ever came so he crawled out into the hallway and yelled for help. R2 said two certified nursing assistants (CNAs) finally came down and helped him up off the floor, they put him in his wheelchair and wheeled him up to the nurse's station (NS) so the nurse could check him out. R2 said they sent him out to the hospital, and they put the sutures back in his leg and then sent him home on Sunday. On 09/16/25 at 11:57 AM, V14, Maintenance Director said he isn't sure if R2 got a new bed or not and he would have to look it up. He then asked V15, Maintenance who was standing next to V14 if he remembered if R2 had gotten a new bed and V15 said yes, he did. This surveyor asked V14 and V15 if they could tell me why R2 received a new bed. V15 said because R2 complained his bed wouldn't lock. V14 then stated the locking mechanism on the bed wasn't working and when it doesn't work it will cause the bed to slide. On 09/17/25 at 2:41 PM, Follow up interview with R2. R2 said the incident happened around eight or nine in the evening. He said he went to get up on his own and the bed slid, he fell, and he put his call light after he fell. R2 said he waited for a long time, and no one came to assist him, so he crawled out into the hallway and yelled for help, and it still took the CNAs a while to come and help him.

There was a trail of blood from the bed to the hallway. He said there was so much blood they had to take towels and put on it to stop it from bleeding. R2 said it hurt bad, on a scale of 0-10 with 10 being the worst he said it was an 11. On 09/17/25 at 3:07 PM, V14, Maintenance Director stated he believes he found out R2's bed was broken from a work order then he stated, no he made a note in the meeting about the bed. He said they have a meeting every morning with the department directors, and he made a note about the bed. He said he would have to look for the notes from that day because he wasn't sure what day it was on. V14 said they had to replace R2's bed because the locking mechanism did not work correctly, and the bed wouldn't lock, and was still able to move. On 09/18/25 at 10:40 AM, V1, Administrator stated she can't put a date on it when she was made aware of R2's bed not working properly. She said R2 came in and then he had the fall, and it was sometime during that time frame that she was made aware. V1 was questioned if was before or after the fall and she said she was unable to remember and that is why she can't put a date on it. V1 said she would expect staff to fix it themselves if it was something they were able to fix if not she would expect them to put in a work order or report it to one of the nurse managers, and between maintenance and nursing they would get it fixed.
