Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement appropriate safety interventions for
cognitively impaired residents and failed to complete therapy evaluations after multiple falls for two (R1 and
R2) of three residents reviewed for falls. These failures resulted in R1 sustaining a left foot fracture and
experiencing three falls over a 24-day period, and R2 sustaining a displaced rib fracture and right radial
neck fracture following an unwitnessed fall. R2 was later placed on hospice services due to declining
condition.
Findings include:
The facility's Fall Reduction policy revised 11/5/19 documents a therapy screen will be recommended for
residents who are at risk of falling. The care plan should be reviewed after every fall and updated with a
new intervention. Residents with falls should be reviewed weekly to identify root cause, effectiveness for
interventions, and make care plan revisions.
1.) R1's Minimum Data Set MDS dated [DATE] documents R1 is cognitively impaired.
R1's fall risk assessment dated [DATE] documents R1 is high risk for falls.
R1's current care plan documents R1 has a diagnosis of Dementia and R1 is at risk for falls due to poor
safety awareness. R1 has fallen on 5/6/25, 5/20/25, and 5/30/25. R1's current care plan further documents
R1 is independent with transfers, toileting, and mobility in R1's room.
R1's Unwitnessed Fall report dated 5/6/25 at 5:30 AM, documents R1 was found in R1's room sitting on the
floor beside R1's bed. R1 was barefoot at the time of the fall. R1 stated R1 slipped trying to get up to go to
the bathroom.
R1's Nurse Progress Note dated 5/6/25 documents R1 had an x-ray of left foot which revealed a fracture to
the head of the fifth metatarsal on left foot. R1 is non-weight bearing to the left foot.
R1's Nurse Progress Note dated 5/20/25 documents R1's roommate yelled for help because R1 had fallen
out of R1's bed and was on the floor. R1 was sitting on R1's bedroom floor in front of her bed with her legs
straight out in front of her. R1's bed was not in lowest position and R1 did not have gripper socks on. R1's
room was dark, and her call light was within reach. R1 stated I just fell out of bed and I was trying to go to
the bathroom. Fall Intervention is to apply anti slip strips on floor beside R1's bed.

R1's electronic medical chart does not contain documentation of a therapy evaluation after R1's falls on
5/6/25, 5/20/25, and 5/30/25.
On 6/17/25 at 9:30 AM, R1 was lying in R1's bed with R1's eyes closed. Metal half rails were up on the side
of the bed.

R1 was inching to the side of the bed and rolled out. R1 had not been evaluated by therapy since admission
to the facility.
On 6/17/25 at 10:00 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated R1's falls are usually at night when R1 gets up to
go to the bathroom. V2 is unsure when R1 was last screened for a therapy evaluation. V2 further stated that
some of R1's safety interventions are not appropriate because R1 takes off R1's gripper socks and will not
leave them on. V2 also stated R1 would not remember to use a call light for assistance. V2 confirms R1
does not have very good memory recall especially at night R1 becomes more confused. V2 confirmed R1
should have been evaluated by therapy to ensure it was safe for R1 to be toileting and ambulating in R1's
room independently.
On 6/17/25 at 9:35 AM, V3 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) stated V3 was unaware of R1's fall with a
fracture to left foot. R1 gets up on her own and does her own thing in her room. We push R1 in a wheelchair
to the dining room because R1 cannot walk very far and R1 is confused and disoriented.
On 6/17/25 at 1:31 PM, V6 (R1's Family Member) stated R1 has dementia and was placed in the facility
after a fall at home. R1 is unable to care for herself and is very forgetful and does not recognize her family
anymore. V6 stated R1 would need help with toileting and ambulating as R1 has had past falls and is very
forgetful and unsteady.

family was at the bedside. R2 had half rails on each side of the bed.
R2's Fall assessment dated [DATE] documents R2 is at moderate risk for falls.
On 6/17/25 at 1:00 PM, V6 (R2's Family Member) stated when R2 admitted to the facility approximately four
weeks ago R2 was alert and oriented and had been doing things on her own at home. R2 sustained a fall at
home and was admitted to the facility for rehab. V6 further stated R2 had a diagnosis of Cancer but had
been doing well health wise. V6 stated R2 has fallen approximately four times since being admitted to the
facility and has continued to decline each time. V6 stated R2 had an unwitnessed fall on 5/29/25 and
sustained a fractured elbow, rib and shoulder. R2 was admitted to hospice after the fall per
recommendation of the facility. There is not enough staff here to provide care, R2's call light doesn't show
when it is on at the nurse's station because the panel is broken. V6 further stated V6 regrets bringing R2 to
this facility and feels if he had not, R2 would not currently be in the condition she is in.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to complete an entrapment assessment for
bedrails prior to bedrails being applied to a bed as a fall intervention for one (R1) of three residents
reviewed for bed rail assessments out of a sample list of three.
Findings include:
The facility's Side Rail Assessment Policy revised 11/5/24 documents bedrails are considered restraints;
this includes full and half bed rails. The only time a bed rail can be used in the facility is after an evaluation
for appropriateness and a Side rail assessment has been completed prior to applying bedrails.
Consideration for the resident's cognitive ability to understand the use of bed rails also needs assessed. If
determined side rails are appropriate the maintenance needs to determine prior to application that side rails
are compatible with the bed and that safety is not compromised.
On 6/17/25 at 9:30 AM, R1 was lying in R1's bed with R1's eyes closed. Metal half rails are up on side of
the bed.
R1's current care plan documents on 5/30/25 an intervention of half side rails was added to R1's care plan
after R1's unwitnessed fall on 5/30/25. This same care plan documents R1 has poor safety awareness and
is at risk for falls.
R1's Entrapment assessment was not initiated until 6/2/25 and was not completed as of 6/17/25.
R1's current Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R1 does not have bed rails. This same
MDS documents R1 is cognitively impaired.
On 6/17/25 at 11:00 AM, V2 stated she normally completes the medical entrapment assessment when bed
rails are put on a bed. V2 stated R1's entrapment assessment wasn't started until 6/2/25 and was never
completed. V2 stated she was not aware assessment needed completed prior to rails being put on the bed.
The facility's Quarterly Bed Entrapment Prevention Checklist dated 6/3/25 documents a bed rail
assessment completed by V5 (Maintenance Director).
On 6/17/25 at 11:15 AM, V5 stated V5 completes an Entrapment Prevention Checklist assessment
quarterly on residents with bedrails. V5 stated that he does not complete a new assessment when bed rails
are applied.
