This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide the fall prevention interventions for cognitively impaired residents who are also at risk for falls. This failure has the potential to affect 5 residents, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7 out of 7 reviewed for proper footwear as a fall prevention intervention. Findings include: On 5/27/25 at 11:20am during observation of residents in the second-floor dining room, the following were observed: R3 was observed sitting in the wheelchair in the day room with white socks that are smooth on the bottom. R4 was observed sitting in the wheelchair in the day room with other residents with grey/white socks that are smooth on the bottom. R5 was observed sitting in the wheelchair in the day room with other residents with grey/white socks that are smooth on the bottom. R6 was observed sitting in the wheelchair in the day room with other residents with dark grey socks that are smooth on the bottom. R7 was observed sitting in the wheelchair in the day room with other residents with black socks that are smooth on the bottom. Again on 5/27/25 at 11:45 AM, all 5 residents still had the same socks on. At this time, V6(CNA/Certified Nurse Assistant) was notified. V6 stated We will get the non-skid socks for them. The non-skid socks are needed to prevent falling. On 5/27/25 at 12:10pm, V7(Restorative Nurse) stated All residents need to wear nonskid socks so keep them from falling. I will make sure. Please, can you give me the names of the residents? On 5/27/25 at 12:15pm, V8 (Unit Manager) stated I am the unit manager; they told me that some residents don't have the nonskid socks. We have some in the storage and we will make sure that the residents wear the socks.
