prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record reviewed the facility failed to provide supervision for one high fall risk resident who was
restless and attempting to ambulate unassisted, and failed to provide clinical staff assistance to promote a
safe sitting position for a high fall risk resident who was seen leaning in her wheelchair. These failures affect
two of three residents (R1, R2) reviewed for supervsion and safety. These failures resulted in R1 sustaining
an acute nondisplaced right femoral neck fracture and R2 sustaining a closed nondisplaced fracture of the
fourth cervical vertebrae.
Findings include:

are not limited to Vascular Dementia, Chronic Kidney Disease, Other Lack of Coordination, Weakness,
Alcohol Dependency, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, and Spondylosis.

hallway the entire night. V6 said R1 said he was waiting for a taxi. V6 said she last saw R1 when he was
sitting in a chair near the medication room. V6 said she was in the hallway doing rounds. V6 said V6 heard
him, and when V6 saw him, he was on the floor. V6 said V8, CNA, was next to R1 and was helping him at
his side. V6 said we had snacks available, but V6 did not give R1 any that night. V6 said V6 did not take R1
to the bathroom that night. V6 said usually, R1 may use the bathroom or be incontinent.
On 7/17/24 at 12:32PM V8, CNA, said R1 was walking and then sitting down. V8 said V8 had asked R1 to
sit and he did, but then he started walking and he fell. V8 said R1 had been sitting near the nurses station.
V8 said to reach R1 when he was sitting, V8 would need to walk out and around of the nurses station. V8
said that was the first time V8 had seen R1 during the shift. V8 said V8 doesn't know if R1 slept during that
shift, I did not offer him a snack or assist him to use then bathroom that shift. V8 said when R1 fell, he fell
forward, when I saw him he was flat on his belly, his legs straight out, he was not on his face. V8 said V8
was at the desk doing V8's assignment, V8 was not monitoring R1.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Facility Reported Incident Report dated 5/24/24 notes R2 was leaning and fell forward onto the floor. R2
was sent to the hospital for evaluation. Facility was notified R2 was admitted with diagnosis of closed
fracture of cervical vertebrae.
Residents Affected - Few
Progress notes dated 5/28/24 document R2 returned to the facility on 5/28/24 with diagnosis of closed
nondisplaced fracture of the fourth cervical vertebrae and right shoulder AC joint separation.
On 7/16/24 at 1:56PM V2, Licensed Practical Nurse, said R2 leaned forward and hit the ground. V2 said R2
hit her shoulder and the left side of her forehead. V2 said V2 saw R2 first and the activity aide. V2 said V2
became aware that R2 fell because V2 heard the sound and then V2 looked. V2 said V2 had seen R2 in the
TV room before the fall, but was not sure if she was awake. V2 said V2 remembers R2 was in a wheelchair.
V2 said the wheelchair stayed in the upright position when R2 fell. V2 said V2 assessed R2 first, did vitals,
looked at the bruising on her head and saw redness to her arm. V2 said V2 was sending R2 out because
she hit her head, she went out 911. V2 said normally R2 was quiet and non verbal, needs assistance
feeding, sits in the chair, does not do activity, she can watch TV. V2 said R2 is assisted by staff and requires
total care. V2 said R2 is not able to stand with staff assistance. V2 said R2 was not reaching, she may have
gotten tired. V2 said V2 saw her lean in her chair in the past. V2 said the activity staff was in the room when
R2 fell, but she was assisting someone else on the opposite side of the room. V2 said R2 was a fall risk. V2
said R2 was at risk because she was not mobile, falls asleep in the chair, and her transfer status is
dependent. V2 said R2 was found to have a fractured vertebrae and fracture to right shoulder, and upon
readmission to the facility had neck brace and sling. V2 said R2 had a reclining chair as part of R2's fall
prevention interventions, and V2 doesn't know if it was reclined when she fell. V2 said it should have been
reclined. V2 said the reclining chair was ordered for R2.
On 7/16/24 at 2:44PM V3, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), said V3 heard R2 fall, V3 went to the TV room
to see what happened. V3 said it was a big sound, like something had fallen. V3 said V3 heard it while V3
was standing by the elevator. V3 said when V3 arrived to the TV room, V3 saw R2 on the floor. V3 said R2
had fallen from a tall wheelchair, it had an extended back, to lean back. V3 said for fall precautions we
would recline her back in the chair. V3 said V3 think R2's fall was like a dead weight fall. V3 said I don't
remember what position the chair was in when R2 fell. V3 said V3 was not assigned to R2, V3 did not get
her up that day.
On 7/17/24 at 10:29AM V4, Activity Aide stated V4 was in the room giving exercise classes to the resident.
V4 said V4 noticed R2 was leaning and V4 adjusted her in her chair. V4 said V4 moved her so she would sit
up and not be leaning. V4 said then R2 was leaning again and V4 could not get to her. V4 said R2 fell
forward, it happened like in a second. V4 said V4 doesn't know what kind of chair R2 was in, it was some
sort of wheelchair. V4 said it was new for her to be leaning like that.

the activity staff would not use devices or recline residents in the chairs. V12 said the activity staff are not
clinical. V12 said the activity staff needs to ask for assistance from a nurse or CNA if the resident needs to
repositioned. V12 said none of my activity staff are CNAs.
On 7/17/24 at 2:37PM V13, Restorative Nurse, said the nurse said R2 fell from the chair. V13 said R2
leaned forward from the chair. V13 said R2 had a high back wheel chair with a taller back and can be
reclined. V13 said V13 doesn't know if the chair was reclined when she fell. V13 said R2 used the

reclining chair because she had poor trunk control. V13 said when she needs repositioning in the chair,
staff should come and redirect her. V13 said CNA's or nurses, no one else, can recline the chair, the clinical
team. V13 said V13 had seen her lean before. V13 said if other staff see R2 leaning, they should call a CNA
and say that she is leaning. V13 said V13 had done a physical assessment in the past, to determine if the
reclining chair was appropriate for her. V13 said V13 felt it was appropriate for her. V13 said V13 did not
document that assessment. V13 said when completing fall investigations the restorative team is responsible
for the root cause analysis. V13 said we were not documenting the root cause analysis at the time R2 had
her fall.
The facility activity aide job description was reviewed. Job description does not indicate responsibility for
repositioning of residents.
The facility policy management on falls dated August 2020 states the facility will assess hazard and risk
develop a plan of care to address hazards and risk implement appropriate resident interventions and revise
the residents plan of care in order to minimize the risk for fall incidents and or injuries to the resident.
Develop a plan of care to include goals and intervention transfers. Provide this probability as appropriate for
the resident.
