**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide supervision to prevent a fall for one
resident (R1) of three residents reviewed for falls in a sample list of three residents. This failure resulted in
R1 falling and sustaining a laceration to R1's head requiring sutures.
Finding Include:
R1's Care Plan reviewed 9/25/24 includes the following diagnoses: Urinary Incontinence, Anxiety, Right
Sided Hemiplegia, Osteoarthritis, Parkinson's Disease, and Dysphagia. This Care Plan also documents R1

Comprehension, Diagnosis of Parkinson's and History of Cerebral Vascular Accident with Right Sided
Hemiparesis. This care plan also documents R1 has a physician's order for a Regular, Pureed Diet with
Nectar Thick liquids.
R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R1 is severely cognitively impaired, has
decreased range of motion for lower and upper extremities of one side, and requires supervision or

R1's After Visit Summary from the emergency room dated 9/24/24 documents (R1) came to the emergency
room after (R1) had a fall and hit (R1's) forehead and had a laceration that was bleeding. (hospital staff)
repaired the the laceration with sutures. These sutures need to come out in one week. This can be done

reaching either for the call light or to turn on the light. The light wasn't on. I immediately called the nurse and
(R1) was sent to the hospital (R1) should not have been left in her room alone with her tray.
On 10/23/24 at 9:30 AM, V5 (Certified Nurse's Aide) CNA stated I would not have left (R1) alone for

meals.

been left in her room alone with her food tray and that the fall and sutures might have been prevented if
(R1) had been taken to the dining room for her meal.
