Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Based on record review, observation, and interview, the facility failed to ensure safety devices were implemented to prevent falls. This affected one (Resident #79) of three residents reviewed for falls. The census was 97.
Findings Include: Review of medical record for Resident #79 revealed an admission date of 11/21/21. Diagnoses included Parkinson's disease, morbid obesity, anxiety disorder and mild cognitive impairment. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 12/06/22, revealed Resident #79 had intact cognition. Resident #79 required extensive assistance for bed mobility, transfers, locomotion, and toilet use. Review of the plan of care dated 12/15/21 revealed Resident #79 was at risk for falls due to psychoactive drug use, history of falling, impaired balance, weakness, and Parkinson's disease. Interventions included to ensure call light was in reach and apply a sensor pad to the bed and wheelchair dated 01/26/23. Review of fall assessments dated 02/01/23 and 05/16/23 revealed Resident #79 was at high risk for falls. Review of the incident log revealed Resident #79 had falls on 01/26/23, 04/14/23 and 05/29/23. Review of the progress note dated 01/26/23 timed 7:20 P.M. revealed Resident #79 was found lying on the floor in pain. Resident #79 stated he was going to the bathroom when he fell. Resident #79 was taken to the hospital for evaluation. A new fall intervention to help prevent further falls included a flat sensor alarm to bed and recliner.

falls this year. The wife stated staff were to apply sensor pads to Resident #79's bed and wheelchair but they were lying on the floor and she didn't understand why. Observations on 05/31/23 at 4:07 P.M. revealed Resident #79 was sitting in his wheelchair. Further observation revealed the sensor pad alarm for the wheelchair was under Resident #79's bed frame at the top of the bed. The sensor pad alarm for the bed was on the floor at the opposite side of the bed unplugged. The Administrator observed and confirmed the findings. Review of facility policy titled Falls and Fall Risks, Managing, dated 2018 revealed staff, with the input of the attending physician, would implement a resident-centered fall prevention plan to reduce the specific risk factors for those at risk of falls or with a history of falls. Position-change alarms were not be used as the primary or sole intervention to prevent falls, but rather were to be used to assist the staff in identifying patterns and routines of the resident. This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00142865 and Complaint Number OH00142662.
