impaired, uses a walker, has a history of falls, her last fall was 2 months prior to admission which resulted
in a fractured pelvis, she receives psychotropic, diuretic, and anticoagulant medications, and it does not
include fall interventions.

falls, and her fall risk assessment dated [DATE] documents she is at moderate risk for falls.

regular checks from Certified Nursing Assistants and nurses, call light within reach, proper footwear, her

On 03/19/2025 at 3:07 PM V12 (Registered Nurse) stated she has 21 days to complete a comprehensive
care plan which would have been Monday 03/17/2025. V12 stated she isn't sure what other information
staff would use to identify fall interventions besides the baseline and comprehensive care plans. V12 stated
R1's baseline care plan assessment provided to the surveyor is considered their baseline care plan. V12
stated the baseline care plan does include fall risk information and could not explain where the fall
interventions were located in R1's baseline care plan assessment.
On 03/20/2025 at 1:20 PM V1 (Administrator) reported R1 went to the hospital on March 1, 2025 after her
readmission to Skilled Nursing unit on 02/25/2025 and returned from the hospital on [DATE]. V1 stated R1
fractured her hip in November of 2024 when she was a resident in the assisted living unit of the facility.
The facility's Care Plan Policy received 03/18/2025 states:
The goal of the baseline care plan is to provide an initial set of instructions needed to provide effective and
person-centered care of the resident. An initial baseline personalized plan of care addresses the transfer
information sent on admission and initial nursing assessment information.
The baseline care plan should include the instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered
care of the resident that meet professional standards of quality care and the minimum healthcare
information necessary to properly care for each resident immediately upon their admission. This may
include but is not limited to resident-specific safety concerns to prevent injury and would identify needs for
supervision, behavioral interventions, and assistance with activities of daily living as necessary.

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
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure effective fall interventions were in place and fall
interventions were being followed, resulting in multiple falls. This failure applies to one (R2) of four residents

experienced these three falls during transferring.
R2's Progress Note dated 11/26/2024 states in part but not limited to the following: Observed R2 sitting on
the floor in the room. V5 (Certified Nursing Assistant) said she was transferring R2 to the wheelchair when
R2's legs buckled, and she was lowered to the floor.
R2's Progress Note dated 1/15/2025 states in part but not limited to the following: V5 was transferring R2

will have two-person assistance during transfers.
R2's Progress Note dated 2/16/2025 states in part but not limited to the following: V6 (Certified Nursing

slide R2 to the floor.
Fall Risk Assessment Post Fall Evaluation dated 2/16/2025 states in part but not limited to the following:
Any commonalities with previous falls: Had a fall prior with similar incident.
It is to be noted that on 2/16/2025, V6 was the only staff present when transferring R2.
On 3/19/2025 at 1:15PM, V6 was interviewed regarding R2's fall on 2/16/2025. V6 said I was providing
assistance while toileting R2. I was helping R2 pull her pants up and when she was standing up, her knees
buckled, and I brought her down to the floor. V6 said after the fall, the nurse on duty let me know that she
required two-person assistance with transfers due to a fall prior to this. However, I was never made aware of
this.
At 2:25PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) was interviewed regarding R2's falls. V2 said R2's falls on 11/26/2024,
1/15/2025, and 2/16/2025 all happened during transferring. After 1/15/2025, we recommended that R2

Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that all residents were offered the pneumococcal
booster vaccine. This failure applied to four (R9, R11, R12, and R19) of five residents reviewed for vaccines
on the total sample of 20.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
R9 is a [AGE] year-old female with multiple diagnoses including but not limited to the following: COPD
(Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), anxiety, dysphagia, and need for assistance with personal care.
R11 is a [AGE] year-old male with multiple diagnoses including but not limited to the following: CVD
(CardioVascular Disease), dementia, and dysphagia.
R12 is a [AGE] year-old female with multiple diagnoses including but not limited to the following: CVD,
dementia, and macular degeneration.
R19 is an [AGE] year-old male with multiple diagnoses including but not limited to the following: AFib, CAD
(Coronary Artery Disease), HTN (Hypertension), heart failure, dementia, and legal blindness.
On 3/18/2025 at 1:57PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist) said residents should receive the
pneumococcal vaccination booster every five years. V2 said when a resident is admitted I check to see if
they have any historical history of the pneumococcal vaccine. If they do not, I will order the vaccination,
however if they do, I do not order anything. V2 says we offer a vaccination clinic almost twice a year for the
influenza and COVID+ vaccine, but not the pneumonia vaccine.
Vaccination history shows R11 last received their pneumococcal vaccine on 8/13/2018, R9 on 4/7/2015,
R12 on 10/8/2015, and R19 on 3/16/2018. It is to be noted that R9, R11, R12, and R19 all received their
last pneumococcal vaccination >5 years ago and were not offered a booster shot.
Facility policy titled Immunization Program with revision date of 05/2024 states in part but not limited to the
following: For adults 65 years or older, if PPSV23 is administered, use shared clinical decision-making to
decide whether to administer one dose of PCV20 at least 5 years after the last dose of PPSV23 dose.
