On 3/17/2025 at 12:33pm, V6 (R1's Family Member) said, I (V6) was notified of (R1's) fall on February 14th
(2/14/25) by the facility. The CNA (V8 Certified Nursing Assistant) had the bed all the way up because she's
(V8) tall. She (V8) went to the sink to go get a rag and that's when he (R1) fell. She (V8) shouldn't have left
the bed up like that and shouldn't have left him (R1) at the edge of the bed. They (facility) called me at like
10:30 pm. I (V6) told them (facility) that I (V6) don't ever want her (V8) to touch him (R1) again. He (R1) has
Alzheimer's. They (staff) should know better. Can you believe they (facility) didn't fire her (V8)? They
(facility) just moved her (V8) to a different floor. He (R1) has been at this facility for 4 years. I (V6) have
visited him (R1) every day since he's (R1) been here. Just recently I (V6) don't visit him on Saturdays
because my family made me.
On 3/17/25 at 1:40pm, V7 (Nurse Practitioner) said, Yes, I know (R1). I've been taking care of him (R1)
since se he got here. Like for 3 to 4 years. I've been here 8 years. All I know is he fell off the bed. I didn't
directly assess (R1). He came back with the bleed, non-operable. (R1's) dementia was advancing and he
was having trouble swallowing. No, I just heard he was getting changed and fell somehow. I'm a
subcontractor. Not directly employed by facility. When asked if the fall caused harm to R1, V7 replied, It
didn't help him. In a way yeah.
On 3/17/25 at 2:18pm, V8 (CNA) said, Yes, I was the CNA for him (R1) when he fell out of bed. It was
around 9:50 pm on Valentine's Day. I was doing my last check and change. I put him on the potty, and he
took a poo. I needed more material, so I went to the sink to get towels. When I turned around, I seen him
falling and tried to catch him. He rolled over on me. The bed was still up to about my hip. I did not let it (R1's
bed) back down. Normally everything be cool. Yes, I should have all supplies available when I do care.
On 3/18/25 at 10:58 am, V3 (Interim Director of Nursing/DON) said, I know him (R1) a little bit. I am familiar
with the incident itself (Fall that occurred on 2/14/25). I was notified of incident, (R1) sent out, report came
in as a result of fall and an intracranial bleed. When interviewing the CNA (V8) it was a witnessed fall. (V8)
went into room to provide care, stated (R1) had an unexpected bowel movement and she went to get
additional supplies. In her words, (R1) was in bed, laying on right side, (V8) went to the sink and observed
(R1) leaning further over. She (V8) tried to reach (R1) but was unsuccessful and (R1) fell from the bed to
the floor. (R1) was assessed by the nurse and sent out. Residents on LAL (low air loss mattress) should
have 2 person assist. Based off that, I began educating staff when residents are on a low air loss mattress,
they (residents) should be a 2 person assist because when you're (residents) on air mattresses they (air
mattresses) are constantly shifting. Moving forward LALs should be a 2 person assist for safety. She knew
stepping away from the bedside was not a good call. As a one person assist, she should have repositioned
him on his back, centered, and lowered the bed. Don't step away from the bed until lowered and positioned
in bed. All those safety checks should have been done. If she would have done the safety checks the fall
would likely not have happened.
On 3/18/25 at 11:32am, V1 (Administrator/Executive Director) said, I am familiar with (R1). I (V1) am
familiar with the incident of him falling out of the bed (fall incident on 2/14/25). When asked if R1's fall
incident on 2/14/25 was it preventable, V1 replied, Possibly but I'm (V1) not a nurse. When asked if R1's fall
incident on 2/14/25 caused harm to R1, V1 replied, I (V1) don't feel it changed his condition. He (R1) has
been declining. I'm (V1) not a nurse to assess and clinically cannot
