**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure post fall assessments, to include vital signs, head to
toe assessment and fall follow up, were completed for 2 of 3 residents (R1, R2) reviewed for quality of care
in the sample of 3.The findings include:1. R1s admission record shows he was admitted on [DATE] with
multiple diagnoses including adult failure to thrive, unspecified lack of coordination and weakness. The
11/11/25 annual resident assessment and care screening documents R1 to have severe cognitive
impairment.R1s nursing progress notes of 10/8/25 show at 8:28 PM, he experienced a witnessed fall at the
bedside. The roommate alerted staff R1 had rolled out of bed onto the floor. R1 reported he fell out of bed.
R1 had no further assessments documented related to his fall.The 11/3/25 risk management report shows
R1 was found lying on his right side on the ground at bedside. Fall mat in place. R1 reported he rolled over
while in bed. The progress notes show no follow up assessments for 11/4/25. The post fall assessment for
11/5/25 includes the vital signs taken on 11/3/25.R1s nursing progress notes for 1/2/26 document he was
sitting in bed and fell forward striking his face on the nightstand next to the bed. R1 was sent out to the
emergency room and returned at 10:00 AM with sutures to the bridge of his nose. R1 had no further
assessments documented for 1/2/26. On 1/3/26 at 2:39 PM, a follow up assessment was documented for
the laceration to R1s nose. The progress notes show no further assessments or vital signs related to his
fall. On 1/8/26 at 10:00 AM, V6 Registered Nurse (RN) said for resident falls, basically we do neuro checks
for everyone. The incident should be documented in the progress notes it should say if the fall was
witnessed or unwitnessed, skin assessment, physical assessment, pain assessment, it is all included in the
forms we fill out. All falls are followed up every shift for 72 hours. A post fall evaluation form should be
completed and that will generate a progress note. She said for the fall on 1/2/26, R1 should have charting
for 1/3, 1/4, and 1/5. For the assessment, nursing should be getting a fresh set of vitals. She said it would
be the same for 11/3/25, there should be documentation every shift for 3 days.On 1/8/26 at 12:34 PM, V2
Director of Nursing (DON) said the nurses are to follow the post fall tool. This tool includes monitoring every
shift for 72 hours. The nurses should be assessing for any new pain or injury, or changes to their mobility.
All this information would be charted in the notes.2. R2s admission record shows she was initially admitted
to the facility on [DATE] with a history of falling. She had multiple diagnoses including dementia and bipolar
disorder. Her 12/9/25 quarterly resident assessment and care screening documents her to have severe
cognitive impairment.R2s nursing progress note dated 12/18/25 documents she had an unwitnessed fall in
her room on 12/17/25 at 8:45 PM. She stated she fell and hit her face/head on the floor. The notes show
she was sent out to the emergency room for evaluation. She returned to the facility and was placed back
into bed. The progress notes were reviewed and show no follow up assessment related to this fall during
the 72 hours following the incident.On 1/8/26, at 12:34 PM, V2 stated the nurses should have used the post

residents (R1) reviewed for safety in the sample of 3.The findings include:R1s admission record shows he
was admitted on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including adult failure to thrive, unspecified lack of
coordination and weakness. The 11/11/25 annual resident assessment and care screening documents R1
to have severe cognitive impairment.R1s nursing progress notes of 10/8/25 show at 8:28 PM, he
experienced a witnessed fall at the bedside. The roommate alerted staff R1 had rolled out of bed onto the
