**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to identify and remove a fall hazard for one
resident (R5) of four residents reviewed for falls in the sample of 15.
Findings include:
The facility's (undated) Fall Prevention and Follow up policy, documents, Staff will follow the procedures as
outlined in this policy in attempts to limit and/or prevent the occurrence of falls. A fall is defined as an
unintentional change in position, coming to rest on the ground, floor or onto the next lower surface. This
policy also documents, Post Fall Management will include: b. Registered Nurse will investigate fall
circumstances and check to see that all prescribed interventions are in place and working properly.
On 8/16/22 at 10:35 AM, R5 was sitting in a chair in his room with a walker at R5's bedside. R5 was
confused with conversation and was unable to form sentences to communicate.
R5's current care plan, dated 6/17/22, documents that R5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. This care
plan also documents, I have impaired cognitive function/Dementia and impaired decision making. I scored a

show any signs of delirium. Due to my Dementia, I often get up without assistance, I am on behavior
tracking. This same care plan also documents, I am at high risk for falling due to having history of falling at
home and having falls in past 60 days.
R5's electronic medical record documents R5 suffered a fall on 3/2/22, 3/7/22, 5/15/22, 5/16/22, 5/18/22,
5/23,22, 5/30/22, and 6/9/22. All of these documented falls were unwitnessed by staff. R5's record also

for each of the documented occurrence.
R5's Progress Notes dated 4/9/22 at 1:00 AM, documents, Resident is alert and sleeps well through the
night. Spouse (R6) tries to assist resident with ADLs (Activities of Daily Living). (R5) requires one staff
assist with ADLs. (R5) has history of falls. (Fall) alarm in use. (R6) often removes the alarm.
R5's Progress Notes dated 4/15/22 at 8:46 AM, documents (R5) alert per his baseline. He is slow to
respond and speaks in one-two word answers. Ambulates in hallway, usually holding (R6's) hand. Gait slow
and steady. (Fall) alarm is to be in place while (R5) is in recliner or bed as he has a history of falls. (R6) has
been noted to be removing alarm at times.
R5's Progress Notes dated 5/16/22 at 12:58 AM, documents, Entered (R5's) room when someone was
heard yelling, 'Help Me' from inside the resident's room. (R5) was found lying on the floor behind the door in
his room. (R5) was assessed by this nurse and was found to have a small skin tear to his right elbow. No
other injuries noted. (R5) was then assisted to sit on the bed and Neurological checks were started.

R5's Progress Notes dated 5/23/22 at 1:18 PM, documents, Resident's wife (R6) was in their doorway
yelling, 'Help, Help'. (R5) observed sitting in front of his closet with his legs extended and his back against
the drawers. (R6) said, 'He just kind of slid down'. (R5) was wearing tennis shoes and the floor was dry. He
was not wearing his glasses. (R6) had clothes on the bed that she was packing up and a small side table
was sitting a few feet in front of the closet.
Residents Affected - Few
R5's Progress Notes dated 6/9/22 at 4:48 PM, documents, Resident's wife (R6) came to the desk and
asked if we could help get (R5) off the floor. (R5) noted to be laying on his left side on the floor in front of
the closet. Electric razor cord on the floor by the outlet and razor sitting on table running. (R5) assessed
and hematoma noted to left elbow with 1 cm (centimeter) skin tear to bottom edge, no other injury noted.
On 8/18/22 at 9:27 AM, V2 (Interim Director of Nursing) stated, We never really gave it a thought that (R6)
may be the reason for (R5) falling related to her aggression. Honestly, when we would go into the room
after (R5's)falls, there were hazards that (R6) had created. (R6) would turn off nightlights, cover the fall
alarm and pack up items and then leaves them on the floor in areas he would trip over. (R6) was a safety
hazard for (R5). (R6) was moved out of (R5')s room June 14th, 2022, due to his falls, her aggression and
(R6) being possibly the cause of (R5's) falls. (R5) has had no falls since (R6) was moved.
On 8/18/22 at 10:12 AM, V1 (Administrator) confirmed that R6 was causing R5 to fall multiple times. V1
stated, During that 6/9/22 fall that was completely (R6), trying to get (R5) to shave or help him shave. Which
resulted in the cord being on the floor and (R5) falling. (R5) would not have gotten up and done those
things on his own. (R6) was for sure his hazard. (R6) would tell him to get up and get ready and start
packing items up in his room. We separated them after more aggressive behaviors were seen (from R6).
Since (R6) has been moved, (R5) has not fallen (over two months' time).
