Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on interviews, record review, and review of the facility policy on falls, the facility failed to ensure fall prevention interventions were implemented as care planned, and failed to ensure staff followed their policy and procedure on falls by assessing residents prior to moving them immediately after a fall if they had an injury. This affected one (Resident #37) of three residents reviewed for falls. The facility had a census of 64 residents. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #37 revealed an admission date of 10/09/21 with diagnosis including Alzheimer's Disease and an abnormal posture. Review of the care plan for Resident #37 dated 05/08/18 revealed she had the potential for injury due to a history of falls. The fall prevention intervention dated 01/16/19 was to keep the bed in the proper position next to the wall with wheels locked. Review of the nursing progress note dated 03/22/23 at 6:00 A.M. by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #215 revealed at 5:00 A.M. she was alerted by a state tested nurse aide (STNA) that Resident #37 was on the floor. LPN #215 stated when she entered the room, Resident #37 was lying in bed. She did have red areas across her forehead, right elbow and right wrist. Review of the fall investigation dated 03/22/23 revealed LPN #215 stated at 5:00 A.M. she was alerted by a STNA that Resident #37 was on the floor. LPN #215 stated when she entered the room, Resident #37 was lying in bed. She did have red areas across her forehead, right elbow and right wrist. The statement from STNA #214 on 03/23/23 revealed SR #37 had been checked on and provided care at 3:30 A.M. STNA #214 stated there was a possibility they misjudged the difference between the bed and the wall. STNA #214 stated when she and STNA #213 went to check on the resident at 5:00 A.M., they found her on the floor between the bed and the wall. She stated the bed was in the lowest position. The root cause dated 03/27/23 for the fall on 03/22/23 verified staff did not have bed up against the wall. Interview on 04/14/23 at 7:58 A.M. with the Administrator verified the nursing progress note dated 03/22/23 at 6:00 A.M. stated the STNAs found her on the floor, went to get the nurse and when the nurse entered the room the resident was noted to be in bed. The Administrator stated while performing their investigation, he had attempted to move the bed to see if it was possible Resident #37 was able to move the bed if the wheels were unlocked by twitching and he stated it was very hard to move and there were also cords under the bed which stopped it from moving. He stated he did not believe the bed was moved by Resident #37. He stated it was possible the bed had not been completely pushed (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0689 against the wall, though was unsure. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Interview on 04/14/23 at 7:58 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #206 verified STNA #213 and STNA #214 should not have moved Resident #37 after her fall on 03/22/23 prior to the nurse assessing her. She stated it was their policy and procedure that the nurse should have assessed Resident #37 prior to her being placed back in bed. Residents Affected - Few Interview on 04/14/23 at 8:28 A.M. with LPN #215 verified when she went into the room after Resident #37's fall, STNA #213 and STNA #214 were on each side of the bed with the bed being away from the wall. Resident #37 was already in bed when she entered her room. She verified she had not assessed the resident on the floor, prior to her being placed back in bed. She was unsure how the resident fell on the floor between the wall and the bed. Review of the facility policy titled, Falls, undated, revealed for witnessed or unwitnessed falls with injury, staff were not to move the resident. They were to keep the resident calm and notify the supervisor immediately. The supervisor or team nurse would then assess the resident prior to being moved. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00141470.
