Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to implement safety interventions and provide supervision
to prevent two residents from injury. These failures resulted in R2 sustaining a laceration and a displaced
bilateral nasal bone fracture and acute fracture of the bony nasal septum and R3 sustaining a head
laceration requiring 5 staples and being admitted to the hospital. This applies to 2 of 6 residents (R2 and
R3) reviewed for falls in a sample of 12. The findings include:1.R2's records showed that she was a [AGE]
year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including dementia, psychosis,
restlessness and agitation. R2's record showed that on 5/29/25, R2 fell from her bed. R2's 5/29/25 FRI
(Facility Reported Incident) to the Illinois Department of Public Health showed that V5 CNA (Certified
Nurse's Assistant) reported that she removed the floor mats and began providing ADL (activities of daily
living) care to R2. During care, V5 realized she did not have all the necessary supplies. V5 turned towards
the dresser to retrieve the remaining items, the resident fell from the bed and struck her face on the floor.
R2 was taken to the local community hospital. R2's 5/29/25 hospital records showed that R2 sustained a
laceration to her forehead and acute mild displaced bilateral nasal bone fracture and acute fracture of the
bony nasal septum with leftward bowing. R2's 5/29/25 progress notes showed that R2 returned to the
facility with sutures (number of sutures not indicated) in place to be removed in 7 days. R2's 10/18/24 care
plan showed a focus on high risk for falls/injury/trauma with interventions including provided with high/low
bed with floor mattress to further meet resident's safety needs.On 6/25/25 at 2:57 pm V5 said that she was
providing care for R2, and she had removed the mat from the side of R2's bed, had R2's bed in a high
position and then took 1 or 2 steps away from R2's bed to get wipes and a brief off the dresser. V5 said that
she had her back turned away from R2 when R2 fell off the bed and hit the floor. V5 said that she saw blood
and went and got the nurse. V5 said that R2 was awake at the time and that R2 has a tendency of trying to
get out of the bed and falling.On 6/25/25 at 1:58 pm V9 NP (Nurse Practitioner) said that R2's laceration
and nasal fracture was caused by the staff not putting the mat back next to the bed and putting bed rails up
before walking away from the resident. V9 said by V5 not having the safety measures in place it caused R2
to fall causing a laceration and fractured nose.On 6/27/25 at 4:15 pm V1 (Administrator) said that V5 should
have gotten the wipes and briefs before attempting to provide incontinence care for R2. V1 said that V5
should have lowered the bed and put the mats back in place and made sure the bed rails were up before
she stepped away to get the needed items. V1 said that when R2 fell out of the bed it caused a fracture to
her nose and a laceration. V1 said that R2 has a history of falling and attempting to get out of the bed
causing falls. V1 said that staff should have been monitoring her even closer knowing she had the
behaviors of attempting to get out of bed. V1 said that if V5 had put all those interventions in place, it could
have prevented R2 from falling.On 6/27/25 at 1:34 pm V2 (Assistant Director of Nursing) said that when R2
fell on

5/29/25 the fall caused a nasal fracture to R2. V2 said that V5 should have brought the items to provide
care before starting. V2 said that V5 should not have walked away, leaving the bed in a high position, the
bed rails not up, and not putting the mats back. V2 said if those safety precautions were in place, V5 would
have been proactive and that would have kept R2 safe and kept her from falling.2. R3's electronic health
records showed that he is a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility with diagnoses including
Parkinson's disease, dementia, restlessness, agitation, and history of falls. R3's 6/14/25 FRI Final report

five staples to his forehead from the laceration. R3's 6/14/25 hospital report shows that on 6/14/25 R3 was
being pushed in a wheelchair by staff when R3 caught his foot on the floor and fell forward out of the
wheelchair, hitting the front of his head on the ground. R3 sustained a large laceration to the frontal scalp
and was admitted to the hospital. R3's 6/15/25 5:43 pm progress note showed that R3 returned to the
facility with five staples to his forehead. R3's 6/14/25 care plan showed R3 had a risk for falls related to
Parkinson's disease, dementia with agitation, anxiety, confusion and a history of falls. R3's intervention's
included anticipate resident's needs, resident needs a safe environment with even floors, and staff to
recline high back chair when moving resident and ensure proper positioning in chair.On 6/25/25 at 2:46 PM
V7 CNA (Certified Nurse's Assistant) said that she was the CNA for R3 on 6/14/25 and she had asked V3
CNA to help her transfer R3 to bed. V7 said that V3 was pushing R3 in his wheelchair and she saw that
R3's feet were on the floor and not on the footrest. V7 said that she did not tell V3 that R3's feet were on the
floor and not on the footrests and she should have.On 6/25/25 at 4:37 PM V3 CNA said that on 6/14/25
when he was pushing R3 in his wheelchair he did not look were R3's feet were when he started pushing
him. V3 said as he was pushing R3, R3 started going forward trying to get out of the wheelchair and then
fell out of the wheelchair.On 6/26/25 at 1:58 pm V9 NP said that if R3's feet were on the footrest they would
not have caught on the floor causing R3 to fall. The fall caused the laceration to R3's forehead.On 6/27/25
at 4:15 pm V1 (Administrator) said that V7 should have told V3 that R3's feet were on the ground when she
saw V3 pushing R3. V1 said that could have prevented R3 from falling. V1 said V3 should have stopped
pushing R3 when he saw R3 trying to get out of the chair. V1 said if staff had provided those two
interventions it could have prevented R3 from falling and obtaining a laceration to his forehead.On 6/27/25
at 1:34 PM V2 (Assistant Director of Nursing) said that R3's feet should have been on the footrest. V2 said
that the CNA should have put R3's feet on the footrest before pushing him down the hall so his foot would
not have caught on the floor causing him to fall. V2 said that V7 should have told V3 that R3's feet were on
the floor when he was pushing the wheelchair to prevent R3 from falling.
