R5's 5/19/23 Care Plan showed a risk for falls with interventions including anticipate resident's needs,
resident to use appropriate well-fitting footwear, call light within reach, evaluate fall risk on admission, and if
resident is a fall risk initiate fall risk precautions. R5's 5/18/23 Fall Risk Assessment showed that R5 is a risk
for falls.
The facility's Fall Prevention Program dated 10/22/22, showed that residents beds are to be lowered to floor
allowing residents feet to be flat to the floor, call lights are to be within resident's reach, residents are to be
encouraged to wear shoes or slippers with non-slip soles, and place fall prevention indicators (such as
stars, color coded stickers) on the name plate to resident's rooms and wheelchairs. The facility's 5/25/23
Form Scoring Report showed R1-R5 at high risk for falls with fall scores between 12-17. The facility's Fall
Risk Assessments show that scores 10 and above are at high risk for falls.
On 5/24/23 between 11:45am and 11:50am V3 (Nurse) examined R2 and R3's feet and said they are
wearing regular socks, they should be wearing non-skid socks or shoes, so they cannot slip or fall. On

5/25/23 at 8:52am, V9 (Certified Nurse's Assistant) said, I don't know if R2 is a high risk for falls. If a
resident is a fall risk their beds should be lowered so they don't have far to fall.

kept at the nurse's station to know who is at risk for falls. V2 said she saw on 5/24/23 that the facility's Fall

high risk for falls are to have indicators on their name plates outside of their bedroom and on their
wheelchairs, and that residents that are high risks for falls should have their beds to the lowest position,
and they should have properly well fitted shoes on, or non-slip/non-skid socks on. On 5/26/23 at 1:02pm,
V2 (DON) said that the facility fall program shows that residents who are at high risk for falls are to have
