Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to notify a resident's representative after a fall with injury, and
failed to notify the representative that the resident was sent out to a local hospital for 1 of 3 residents (R1)
reviewed for resident injury in the sample of 8.
The findings include:
R1's admission Record, provided by the facility on 5/14/2025, showed he was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses including unspecified dementia, malignant neoplasm of head, face and neck, and
hypertension. R1's 5/8/2025 Clinical admission assessment showed R1 was confused and had severe
cognitive impairment affecting all areas of judgement. The assessment showed R1 had wandering
behaviors, was occasionally incontinent of urine and frequently incontinent of bowel.
On 5/13/2025 at 9:06 AM, V1 (Administrator) said R1 had 2 falls in the facility on 5/8/2025. V1 said the first
fall was earlier, while R1's family was in the building. V1 said R1 had another fall later that night after being
put in bed.
On 5/13/2025 at 1:57 PM, V4 (Licensed Practical Nurse-LPN) said she was working when R1 fell on
5/8/2025. V4 said it was around 10:30 PM. V4 said she could not recall which Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) told her that R1 was found on the floor. V4 said she assessed R1, and he did not complain of pain at
first. V4 said after they got him back into bed, R1 complained of left hip and knee pain. V4 said she thinks
she just sent R1 out to the emergency room after he complained of pain. V4 said she left a message for
R1's doctor and then notified his family. V4 was asked who the family member was she spoke to. V4 said
she did not remember. V4 was informed this surveyor had just spoken with R1's family and they were not
aware that he had a second fall in the facility. V4 said she thought she called them to let them know he was
being sent to the hospital. V4 said, I sure thought I did. I don't know. I will be honest with you, and I hate to
admit it, but my memory isn't the best.
On 5/13/2025 at 1:25 PM, V13 (R1's daughter and POA) said R1 was admitted to the facility Thursday
night. R1 was sent out to the hospital later and no one from the facility called the family to let them know
that he was sent out. V13 said R1 had a fall earlier that night while V14 (R1's other daughter and POA) was
still at the facility. V13 was asked if R1 had another fall and that is why he was sent out. V13 said no, he only
had the one fall in the facility. V14 was on the phone call and agreed R1 had only had the one fall in the
facility, and that neither of them was notified that R1 had been sent out to the hospital. V13 said at 12:55
AM they received a call from the emergency room doctor asking if they wanted R1 to have surgery due to a
fractured hip. V13 said that is how they found out that R1 had been sent to the hospital.
