This affected one (Resident #3) of three reviewed for notification of changes. The facility census was 91. Findings include: Review of Resident #3's closed medical record revealed an admission date of 01/24/24. Diagnoses included muscle weakness, vascular dementia, heart failure, and pleural effusion. Resident #3 was transferred to a local hospital on [DATE] and did not return to the facility. Review of an admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #3 was moderately cognitively impaired with a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 10. Review of the progress notes dated 04/06/24 at 3:46 P.M. revealed Resident #3 was found by an State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) sitting upright on the floor next to his bed with his wheelchair next to him. The wheelchair was locked and Resident #3 was wearing gripper socks. Resident #3 stated he was standing to transfer from his wheelchair to his bed and his feet slipped out from under him causing him to slide to the floor landing on his bottom. Resident #3 denied any head injury. Resident #3's physician and son were notified. Resident #3's son was not listed as an emergency contact.
