Findings include: On 03/23/2024 at 9:02AM, surveyor observes a yellow star on R2's door next to R2's name. R2 observed lying in R2s' bed resting inside of R2s' room in a supine position with head of bed elevated at 45 degrees. R2s' floor mat was observed located in between two closet cabinets leaning against them in R2's room. R2's bed also observed to not be in the lowest position. On 03/23/2024 at 9:08AM, V5 (Agency Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) states she works for an agency and this is the first time she has ever worked at the facility. V5 states she is the CNA responsible for caring for R2. V5 states she is aware that the yellow stars next to resident names indicate the resident is a fall risk. V5 states she was made aware by V4 (LPN) that V5 (Agency CNA) should watch those residents closely. V5 states she is not familiar with all the resident's fall precaution interventions. V5 states she is aware that she has only one major fall precaution resident to watch closely (identified as R4). V5 states R4 is the only resident she implemented fall precautions for. On 03/23/2024 at 9:15AM, V4 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) located inside of R2's room and observes R2s' floor mat is not in place next to R2's bed. V4 also observes R2's bed was not in the lowest position. Surveyor observes V4 attempting to lower R2's bed and V4 states R2's bed remote is not working and R2's bed cannot be lowered. V4 states she has to call maintenance to fix R2's bed remote. V4 states R2 is a fall risk and R2's floor mat should have been on the floor next to R2's bed. V4 also states R2's bed should always be kept in the lowest position. V4 states if these fall precaution interventions are not implemented, then R2 can fall and hurt herself. On 03/23/2024 at 1:15PM, V8 (Fall Coordinator/RN) states she is the fall coordinator and has been working at the facility since November 2022. V8 states when a resident is admitted , they are assessed for their risk for falls by completing a fall risk assessment. V8 states the facility checks to make sure the residents are assessed for proper fall risk interventions and those interventions are then implemented. V8 states fall risk interventions are documented in the resident care plans. V8 states the yellow stars on the resident's doors are fall risk identifiers. V8 states in an effort to ensure staff is made aware of resident's fall precaution interventions, there is a stand up and stand down meeting held everyday, especially on the 4th floor. V8 states there is a green binder kept at every nurses' station that serves the purpose of a Fall communication tool for the nurses and CNAs. V8 states the green binders lists the residents who are on fall precautions, their acuity level, and (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
