Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, this facility failed to identify, evaluate and eliminate
hazards, and provide adequate supervision to prevent an avoidable accident in accordance with current
professional standards of practice for one residents (R4) out of three residents reviewed for avoidable falls
in a sample of 7. Findings include:On 2/13/26 at 9:55 AM, R4 was observed lying on his right side on the
floor near bathroom. R4's wheelchair was observed on the right side at the head of R4's bed. R4's bedside
table was observed positioned in front of wheelchair. R4 was observed wearing regular socks instead of
non-skid socks. R4 stated that he slid while walking to bathroom because of the socks he was wearing. This
surveyor shouted out for assistance. V11 (nurse) came immediately to R4's room. V11 stated that she is not
R4's nurse today but responded to the call for staff assistance. V11 obtained R4's vital signs and performed
a head-to-toe assessment, R1 sustained an open area to his right lateral lower leg. V8 CNA (certified nurse
aide) and V9 CNA came to R4's room. Both CNAs stated that R4 is not able to walk, he is able to
self-transfer to wheelchair, self-propel into the bathroom then self-transfer onto toilet. V11 stated that R4 is
not wearing appropriate socks. V11 stated that she was going to get R4's nurse and left R4's room. V11
returned shortly thereafter and stated, I'm his nurse today, I did not know. R4's assigned CNA, V10, came
into R4's room. V10 stated that R4 is not able to walk, he is able to self-transfer to wheelchair, self-propel
into bathroom then self-transfer onto toilet. V10 stated that she last rounded on R4 when she arrived at
work at 7:00 AM.R4's admission fall risk assessment, dated 12/23/25, R4 with a history of falls in the past
three months. R4 has intermittent confusion, is chairbound, and incontinent.R4's falls care plan, initiated
1/2/26, notes R4 is at high risk for falls related to gait/balance problems. Interventions identified include, in
part, anticipate and meet R4's needs.R4's ADL (activities of daily living) care plan, initiated 12/26/25, notes
R4 has an ADL self-care performance deficit related to impaired balance. Interventions identified include, in
part, transfers - R4 requires supervision by one staff to move between surfaces. The facility's fall prevention
and management policy, revised 12/2023, notes, in part, the fall prevention and management practices
include separate activities: universal fall precautions, standardized assessment of fall risk factors, care
planning, and post fall response. Universal fall precautions are safety measures that are taken to reduce the
chance of falls for all residents, regardless of individual fall risks. The fall risk assessment is used to identify
fall risk factors. A fall risk care plan will be implemented to address universal fall precautions and individual
risk factors as applies to the resident.

or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, this facility failed to maintain its call light system in
good working condition for one resident (R3) out of four residents reviewed for working call lights in a
sample of 7. Findings include:On 2/13/26 at 9:45 AM, R3 was observed sitting in a reclining chair next to
the bed closest to the door. R3's call light cord was observed between wall and folded floor mat behind
head of bed. When questioned if he was able to use call light for assistance, responded yeah I can't find it.
V2 DON (director of nursing) was called to R3's room. When V2 was asked where R3's call light cord was,
V2 retrieved it from behind head of bed. V2 handed R3 call light button and R3 was asked to demonstrate
how to use it. R3 pressed the call light button; the light did not activate in hallway above R3's door. R3 was
asked to press again, the light still did not activate. R3 was given the call light cord for the bed furthest from
the door and asked to press call light button, the light was activated in hallway above door. V2 stated that
R3's call light does not work, and she will have it replaced. V2 stated that staff should be checking
