resident's emergency contact was notified of a fall and a change in condition. This affected one (Resident

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.
Review of the neurological checks conducted post-fall revealed Resident #3's level of consciousness (LOC)
had declined from one (alert wakefulness: responds quickly and appropriately) on 04/07/24 at 3:15 A.M. to
a two (drowsy/lethargic: responds to stimuli appropriately, but with delay and slowness) on 04/07/24 at 7:15

The progress notes dated 04/07/24 at 1:28 P.M. revealed Resident #3 was increasing lethargic and drowsy.
Resident #3's blood pressure was trending low. There was no documentation of Resident #3's emergency
contact being notified of the decline in LOC until 04/07/24 at 7:50 P.M. when Resident #3's emergency
contact came to the facility and had concerns about Resident #3's hallucinations and twitching. Resident #3

to his care. A family member came to visit Resident #3 on 04/06/24 after his fall and LPN #50 at first
believed this family member was the Resident #3's emergency contact. When discussing Resident #3's fall
with this family member, she discovered he was not the emergency contact. LPN #50 thought she heard
this family member talking to the listed emergency contact on the telephone. LPN #50 did not call Resident
#3's listed emergency contact about the fall on 04/06/24.
Residents Affected - Few

Resident #3's emergency contact about Resident #3's fall. LPN #50 confirmed the family member she had
spoken with on 04/06/24 was not Resident #3's listed emergency contact. LPN #50 stated that Resident #3
was lethargic the next day (04/07/24) and had called Resident #3's physician. LPN #50 did not call
Resident #3's emergency contact about Resident #3's decline in LOC on 04/07/24.
